The Power of Words: How Liberalism Works...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

Why is it “gender-affirming care” instead of “medieval butchery?” Why do liberals who are already a majority so obsessed with stamping out the last holdout in the room? Charlie and Greg Gutfeld talk about the crucial importance of honest language, and why so much of the left’s power depends on controlling the words that people use and taking out every alternative.
