Hi, this is Free Thinking through the Fourth Turning. My name is Sacha Stone. What Kamala Harris gets wrong about elephants and the American left. Kamala Harris might have many gifts, but intelligence is not one of them. How else to explain her speech where she compared today's left to a herd of protective elephants? Here is the clip.

Kamala Harris
Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago? The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake. Google it if you've not seen it. So that scene has been on my mind. Everybody's asking me, what you been thinking about these days. Well, so in the video, the swim scene, here those elephants were. And as soon as they felt the earth shaking beneath their feet, they got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable. Think about it. What a powerful metaphor. Because we know those who try to incite fear are most effective when they divide and conquer, when they separate the herd, when they try to make everyone think they are alone. But in the face of. Of crisis, the lesson is don't. Don't scatter. The instinct has to be to immediately find and connect with each other and to know that the circle will be.

As with most of Kamala Harris speeches, there was no there there. It was delusional gobbledygook that seemed to get really obvious things wrong, especially the way she ended the speech by saying, this country doesn't belong to those in the White House, but to we the people.

Kamala Harris
Please, always remember, this country is ours. It doesn't belong to whoever is in the White House. It belongs to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to we the people.

Kamala Harris
God bless you, and God bless America.

Sacha Stone
Yeah. What part of winning the popular vote is not we the people? Kamala, I thought of that line in the Big Lebowski.

Has it ever occurred to you that instead of, you know, running around, blaming me, you know, given the nature of all this new shit, you know, this could be a lot more complex. I mean, it's not just. It might not be just such a simple. You know. What in God's holy name are you blathering about?

The Democrats have decided their leader should be Kamala Harris, and they set her loose. Careless metaphors and all. What else can they do? Tell the truth. Sorry. We tried to make Kamala Harris happen again. We already knew she was a tragically weak candidate who couldn't even win in her home state of California and is mostly known for her extreme cringe and her viral word salad clips. But she's a woman of color and white Women will never vote for a normie white dude. So let's make Kamala Harris great again. Granted, most people on the left now have become so disconnected from reality, they can't see the big picture anymore. But even still, if there is one thing we know about elephants, other than that they are intelligent, empathetic creatures, is that they, like all mammals, protect their young to ensure reproduction and survival. And of all animals to drag into this mess, why must it be elephants? This is a strange thing to be outraged about, but I love elephants. I love them like I love pigs. It isn't just that they're intelligent, although they are ranked number five on the list from How Stuff Works, pigs not far behind. I love their deep empathy because I have too much of it and I can relate. I love how they remember those who protected and raised them, even decades later. I hate that they are hunted and butchered, just as I hate factory farming with pigs. I realize I must accept these realities, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. But mostly, like all mammals, elephants are known for being ferocious protectors of their young. So much so that the entire group is often involved in saving even one calf. You should see what a mother elephant would do to anyone who came near her baby with a surgical scalpel or dangerous, irreversible drugs to sterilize them for life. Do you think elephants would be casually aborting their children or allowing gender clinics to guide them toward irreversible harm to their bodies, all in the name of some imaginary delusion? Do you think elephants would divide people based on skin color and gender identity and deem those the most vulnerable? Elephants are matriarchal because the older female elephants have gathered enough knowledge to help guide and lead the herd through treacherous terrain. The males must leave when they become adolescents and form a herd with other males who teach them what they need to know. For the left, they like the part where elephants form a herd of females and exile the males. They don't like the part where the most important thing to them is ensuring reproduction and survival. That's the last thing they do. On the left now, they seem to be actively trying to extinct themselves, whether it's buckling to the dangerous cult that sterilizes the young or encouraging abortions to the tune of 1 million a year. Those who have paid the highest price for this are the children, whose mothers can't protect them because they are cowards. Not like mother elephants, that's for sure. Fathers, too. They've been castrated, metaphorically and literally. To the left now Anyone can be a mother. Women's wombs can be rented a baby delivered or killed like fast food and handed off to someone who has enough money to purchase a baby. What else do you expect from people who go around saying about the baby growing inside them, this is not yet human.

Yeah, it says not yet a human.

Sacha Stone
And why did you write that?
- [07:05]
Unknown
Because everyone is talking about murder and it's just, it's me. It's not somebody else yet. I have a child. This is a person. This is a person with will. This is a person who has decision making power and this is me.

What do you think of today's decision?
- [07:24]

It's awful. I mean, it's horrible. I don't know, you know, what parts this baby is going to have, but if he or she does not have the options that they need to make bodily choices around what they can do with their own life, I don't know how to protect them. In the world.

I believe abortion should be legal, but rare. The left no longer believes that. Many of them see babies as oppressors, as invaders, and teach that to their daughters who will figure out all too late that their mothers led them down the wrong path. It took Donald Trump, their sworn enemy, to go to war with the cult of the left. To protect kids, to protect women, to protect mothers.

Under the Trump administration, we will defend the proud tradition of female athletes and we will not allow men to beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls. From now on, women's sports will be only for women.

Recently, James Esses shared an unfortunate letter in the UK challenging the Supreme Court ruling that said gender is to be decided on biological sexual. Just reading the first paragraph fills me with despair. Per podcast listeners, a quote not in our name. Feminist academics and educators speak out against transphobia. We are non trans feminist academics and educators. We write in support of trans rights, trans well being and trans inclusion. The harmful Supreme Court ruling states that women and men are defined by their biology, by their sex at birth. The extreme interpretation of this ruling by the Equality and Human Rights Commission suggests that trans women and trans men should be restricted in their access to workplaces, schools, sports and services, excluding trans people from using the facilities of their gender. Anti trans campaigners say they want to exclude trans women from women's spaces in order to protect CIS women. We do not need protection from trans people. We need action against sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence and everyday sexism. We need policies that guarantee women get equal pay for their work, affordable childcare and the eradication of childbirth related deaths and we need the state to stop the violence that trans people face at the hands of CIS men and CIS women. They radicalized people like me. I might have gone along with the bathroom thing. In fact I did. But if sports is on the table, count me out of all of it. Which is no doubt how the Supreme Court in the UK felt too. It isn't only sports. I don't know why men are better at chess, pool and Jeopardy, but they are. Pretending a trans identified person broke those records for all women is quite frankly, both insulting and a lie. Women and girls are no longer allowed to fight for their rights to safety, privacy and fair competition. All of that is now considered hate and violence against trans people. Thankfully, Trump won. While he moves fast and breaks things, they're trying to stop him every step of the way. Some I agree with, some I don't, but the GOP will have my vote as long as the cult rules the left. RFK Jr. Has become a hero to people like me because finally someone said and did the right thing.

The Trump administration won't say who wrote or reviewed a 400 page report looking into gender dysphoria treatment for children. The new report pushes back against current established medical standards for medically supporting trans young people, and it instead promotes gender exploratory therapy. The report says that exploratory therapy isn't the same as the controversial conversion therapy. However, LGBTQ campaigners have said it's just conversion therapy using friendlier language. The U.S. department of Health and Human Services said the contributors to the new report include medical doctors and experts who represent a wide range of political viewpoints. But they said that contributors names will not be made public initially, quote, in order to help maintain the integrity of the process. The agency also said that chapters of the report went through a peer review, but they won't say by whom. Major medical associations have already called the report misleading and pushed back against it.

Comparing the left to elephants is an insult. There are no strong women protectors on the left anymore. If even Gloria Steinem and Hillary Clinton can't fight to protect women in sports and children from maiming themselves, feminism is dead. They've essentially handed over their entire movement to biological males. Which is funny when you think about it. And all because wah, don't call me a terf like me, like me. Get your filthy mitts off my child or there will be hell to pay. That's what elephants do. But what people like Kamala Harris and all those clapping seals in that room have never and will never do? What would those on The Titanic. Think of what has become of today's left where they would see women and children first as gender discrimination. I imagine they would divide people up in terms of skin color and gender ideology to decide who the most vulnerable people were. But one ideology leads to the reproduction and survival of the species, and the other does not. Call yourselves whatever you want, but not elephants. Everything they are stands in direct opposition to that. I was raised as a first generation of women after Roe v. Wade. I was taught that if you got pregnant, you should abort the baby because your happiness, your career, your freedom were more important. But my wisdom as an older woman now knows that was the wrong message to send to me and to all women. They should be told the truth, that children are a gift and why we are here at all. That is what all mammals, especially elephants, know, too. I would call myself an elephant, but that isn't exactly the most flattering comparison. Okay, fine. I am an elephant. I am a cow. I am a pig. I am a chimp. I am a whale. I am a dolphin. I am a gorilla. I am one of them because I am a mother. And it is the most important thing I am and the most important thing I have ever done or will ever do. So please, Kamala, spare me. Bringing up elephants only serves to highlight the shallow narcissism and ignorance of today's laughter. Thank you for listening to my podcast, sashastone.substack.com and I hope you have a great weekend. Remember to thine own self be true.
