Today we're joined by Lauren Chen, host of BlazeTV's "Pseudo Intellectual," to talk movies, pop culture, and news. First, we talk about movies and TV and how the approach to censoring humor has changed since the shows like "The Office" were being made. Then we discuss Ellen 'Elliot' Page's tragic story of "discovering she was trans" and why despite her claims that this has led to joy, the end result is destruction. We also discuss Ellen's claim that she was harassed on the streets of Los Angeles for being trans, which just so happened to be revealed the day her book launched. Then, Lululemon fired two employees after they called the police on looters – who's going to be held accountable? We also talk about the recent horrifying story of a Syrian refugee running around with a knife and attacking children in France, yet another consequence of uncontrolled open borders.
