MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): Great stuff. Great stuff from Nancy Mace. I've mentioned before, I don't really like those terms “biological man," “biological woman." I think those terms implicitly accept trans ideology as well because they imply that there's some other kind of man, some other kind of woman. You could be a biological man but a spiritual woman, which is absurd. It's a gnostic heresy. But regardless, the fact that Nancy Mace is willing to use this kind of more liberal language to say, “Look, I'm not some far-right wing, Bible thumping" — whatever they say about us. But women get to have their own bathrooms, OK? Great stuff on Nancy Mace. Wonderful stuff. GOP leadership better get on board. That's all I'll say about that. GOP leadership better get on board. It's the right thing to do, it's a matter of justice, and it's a total political winner. This is a no brainer. 

The guy, [Sarah] McBride — who calls [her]self Sarah now, this Democrat member of Congress — [she] just posted. [She] said something to the effect of — well, I'll just pull it up. I actually pulled it up on my phone just before the show started. [She] says, “Every day Americans go to work with people who have life journeys different than their own and engage with them respectfully. I hope members of Congress can muster that same kindness." 

Yes. I'm sure your future Republican colleagues will be kind to you, will be very respectful to you. But we're not going to lie for you, and we're not going to violate the legitimate rights of women to accommodate your fantasies and maybe sexual fetish. We're not doing that. OK? We're going to be really kind, but we're not going to lie. You can't make us lie. That's very disrespectful for you to expect us to lie for you. And, in fact, it would be disrespectful to you for people to lie to you because they think that you don't possess the rational faculties to deal with reality. And it's especially offensive to tell women that they no longer have any of their legitimate rights because you've decided to throw on stilettos one day. Not going to happen. OK? That's not kindness. That's not respect. You, sir, are being very disrespectful by demanding that of others, especially of women. How about you act like a man and act like a gentleman and stay out of the women's bathroom?
