JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): What I would say is they should become more tolerant, it's like when I go out with friends and we're at a restaurant and we see some freaky looking transgender person sashay by with the pink hair and nipple rings — 

KATIE PAVLICH (CO-HOST): We do not need the details —

WATTERS: It's part of the story. 

KATIE PAVLICH (CO-HOST): Too much. 

WATTERS: We don't gay bash them, we don't even say anything. We might go — we just let it go. And if they don't tolerate us, why are we tolerating them?I mean you saw what happened with the police, they get screamed at. During BLM, girls were just trying to have brunch and they were getting heckled on the side of the street. And so you guys were annoying already, and then COVID hits and you become super, super snobs. Like, absolute power, and it looks like you're trying to hurt us, that's how it felt. You thought we were dirty, dangerous, and dumb, and you tried to separate yourselves from the rest of society. And then you just lost respect for the country. I remember it was like last Easter, Biden was celebrating transgender day on Easter weekend, you know like stuff like that. Like the Columbus statue, you did not even protect it so people think you really hate our country. Then they just became rude, I honestly think it's about manners, you just have to be tolerant of other people. And then it's like you just became uninteresting, and like we do not even want to be around you guys because it did not feel like you were interested in us. Like you didn't care that these migrants were coming in to take our jobs, or nobody could afford any food anymore, or crime was up. So like, why should we care about you if you don't care about us? This is going to take a long time for them to recover, we should never forget what you did.
