Michael discusses the significance of the fact that we are still debating how many genders there are and how the failure of elites during the pandemic has led to no one trusting experts anymore. Michael also discusses why he wanted to write about the history of political correctness to better understand the origins of cancel culture. Michael explains that if conservatives want to stop losing the culture war they need to learn how to start saying no. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks about the California reopening and how Gavin Newsom isn't letting the state of emergency end.
