Transcripts

today for our daily cancellation we

canceled Doug mhof now if you don't know

who Doug mhof is he is the second

gentleman and if you don't know what the

second gentleman is that's the name we

apparently use for the vice president's

husband it is frankly kind of an

embarrassing title for a man to hold but

then Doug mhof is an embarrassing man

over the weekend it was revealed that

mhof who has been married to KL Harris

for about 10 years had an affair uh that

ended his first marriage his previous

marriage Fox news reports second

gentleman Doug mhof the husband of Vice

president k Harris admitted Saturday to

having an extramarital affair during his

first marriage after a bombshell report

by The Daily Mail reported he got his

children's Nanny pregnant quote during

my first marriage Kirsten and I went

through some tough times on account of

my actions he said in a statement to CNN

I took responsibility and in the year

since we work through things as a family

and have come out stronger on the other

side mhof did not return Fox News

digital's request for comment but gave

the statement to the Harris friendly

News Network hours after the Daily Mail

story broke the affair ended the

marriage according to Daily Mail which

reported The Nanny was also a teacher at

mof's Children's School the report said

the woman who Fox News digital is not

naming did not keep the baby though it

is unclear what happened to the baby or

if mhof has ever been involved in the

child's life

um now and first of all can I just say

uh you did not come out stronger on the

other end it's like the idea that well

you had an affair and it made your

family stronger no you're not married

anymore it tore your family apart your

family is not stronger

now um and there's in general affairs do

not make a marriage stronger hopefully a

marriage Will Survive it it's not going

to make it stronger though you've

actually permanently weakened your

marriage

permanently any case I've read reports

elsewhere that the nanny mistress uh may

have had a miscarriage uh I don't know I

mean is that the case or did they did

they employ more proactive means of

ending the pregnancy uh or was the child

born and if so has he been neglected and

banished the same way that Joe Biden has

shunned the granddaughter that his son

Hunter had out of woodlock there's no

way for us to know for sure we just

don't know now I would normally say that

the marital Affairs of the second

gentleman are not relevant to voters and

I would still say that here there are

countless reasons to not vote for KLA

Harris the fact that her husband got the

nanny pregnant 15 years ago doesn't even

make the top 50 on the list but even if

this has no electoral significance it

still matters and it matters for one

reason above all that Doug mhof the guy

who ruined his first marriage by

Sleeping with with and and impregnating

the nanny is now on a crusade against

so-called toxic

masculinity Adida headline in the

Washington Post tells us that mhof

himself is quote the antidote to toxic

masculinity but what is toxic

masculinity and why does it need an

antidote at least according to mhof well

here he is in an interview with CNN in

2022

explaining there is still a bit of a

stigma

uh with the notion of men taking a step

back and being openly supportive of a

woman who has a bigger role and a bigger

job than the man does are you trying to

intentionally destigmatize that

definitely definitely you think about it

I do um I do not at the beginning

because this was a no-brainer but now

that I'm in the role and you really see

like not all men naturally would do this

and and would push back and then there's

this this this toxicity this this uh

this masculine idea of what what a man

is that's out there that is just not

correct now he's right by the way at

least about the first part um not all

men would be willing to play first lady

or second lady uh even worse to their

wives and become a stayhome husband uh I

I wouldn't be a stay home husband

providing for my family is my

fundamental purpose on Earth and I would

never give that up now fortunately I

have a wife who certainly would never

want me to but that makes me toxically

masculine according to mhof who

continued to speak out about this

subject in an interview with MSNBC the

following year here's what he said then

can we just talk about masculinity for a

moment um as being second gentleman

changed your own view of perceived

gender roles of what it means to be a

man

that's this is something I've I've

thought about a lot and something I've

spoken about a lot there's too much of

toxicity it's masculine toxicity out

there and we've kind of confused what it

means to be a man what it means to be

masculine where you've got this Trope

out there that you've got to be tough

and you know angry and and lash out to

be strong I it's just the opposite you

know strength is how you show your love

for people strength is how you are for

people and how you have back and how you

you stick up for other other people and

pushing up pushing out against bullies I

mean that's what I believe it is so

every time I can speak against this

toxicity I we're seeing it with our

younger people we're seeing it in our

discourse in our politics in the media

you're seeing it as it relates to so

many of the issues that we're we're

pushing back on so um I think it's a

problem and I'm going to continue to use

this platform every time I get to to

speak out against this toxic masculinity

that's out there now we know that um

first ladies historically are given some

little project to go out and do so that

they can feel important for Michelle

Obama it was lecturing us about our bad

nutrition Jill Biden for her part has

mostly been given the task of changing

her husband's diapers and now we know

what first lady uh Doug mhof will be

focused on should kamla win in November

he'll be sent to the front lines to lead

the war against toxic masculinity kamla

may be a childless cat lady but she's

not a single childless cat lady which

means she has a husband that she can

parade around as a mascot for male

feminism the fight against toxic

masculinity will go into overdrive if we

have a female president with a henpecked

husband like mhof so things are going to

get very cringy very fast but I can't

deny it mhof is the perfect spokesman

for this issue after all the only truly

toxic form of masculinity is emasculated

masculinity in other words toxic

masculinity is non-mc

a man is toxic if he is not masculine

now this is not how the term is used of

course by people like mhof for them

masculinity is toxic when there's too

much of it and too much emphasis on it

you heard him say this idea that men are

supposed to be tough is to him toxic he

lives in a delusional fantasy world

where our culture's greatest problem is

its overemphasis on toughness and

strength but that couldn't be further

from The Mark like so much else that we

hear from uh Democrats it's the opposite

of the truth

that this is the problem with the term

toxic masculinity in practice it seems

that toxic masculinity can either refer

to traditionally masculine traits that

are now wrongly regarded as harmful or

actually harmful traits that are wrongly

associated with men

exclusively so if it's used in the first

sense it's it's obviously degrading and

damaging because it tells men that their

natural masculine dispositions are

somehow

disordered um there there's there's you

know nothing wrong with with with uh

telling them to be strong or encouraging

them to exercise control over their

emotions obviously these messages can be

delivered the wrong way but the

fundamental point is good and

important the problem in our culture

isn't that boys are being thrown in a

you know box or forced to conform to

some strict notion of masculinity again

it's the

opposite in

fact with how men are raised from

childhood you know too many boys are

given no instruction on how to men no

example to follow no guidance on how to

grow and mature in their

masculinity as the left likes to remind

us all the time we're not living in the

1940s we aren't and that means that the

era of the strong and stoic man ended a

long time ago we're now living in the

era of drag queens and feminism and

gender fluidity and fatherless

homes most boys these days have no clue

how to be men no idea what to do with

their masculine energy because nobody's

ever told them or shown them and and and

if anyone does come along and says well

this is what masculinity is all about

you know in order to be masculine you

should do this they're condemned by

people like Doug

mhof now if toxic masculinity is being

used in the second sense used to

describe actually harmful Behavior well

then it unfairly blames masculinity for

bullying or narcissistic tendencies that

have no

gender right then you're just then

you're just taking I mean there could be

like bad things that a man does that are

actually bad but then if you come in and

say oh he's being toxically

masculine well now you're just like

slandering all of masculinity because of

the actions of this one guy and if you

don't understand why men might take

issue with that approach all you have to

do is imagine how almost any woman would

react if I said that you know gossipy

materialistic bimbos have toxic

femininity that would be at the very

least an unnecessarily inflammatory way

of addressing the problem of

materialistic bimbos but worse than that

it would suggest that femininity taken

to

extreme results in Dumb bimbos who spend

their husband's money on shoes and

purses so it seems to say well it's okay

to be a woman but don't be too

womanly now of course nobody ever does

talk about toxic femininity and the

reason we don't talk about it is because

we recognize how insulting and demeaning

that concept is we also recognize that

it's not possible for a woman to be too

much of a woman with with you know it's

it's it's there's not a problem of men

of women being too feminine

but with men that's the kind of

message now as I said the real toxicity

to use Doug's term is when men reject

masculinity and and when women reject

femininity Doug mhof knows something

about that cheating on your wife and

fathering a child with a nanny is in

fact it is toxic

Behavior it's not toxically masculine

Behavior it's toxically

unmasculine because a man's job is to

protect provide for and remain loyal to

to his family mhof failed in that regard

and now he wants to lecture other men

about how they should

behave now I'm certainly not above

listening to the wisdom of of other men

especially men older than myself who

have something worthwhile to say about

what it means to be a

man but this guy has no wisdom on that

issue or any other issue he's obviously

struggling mightily in his own life with

what it means to be a man we don't need

to hear him pontificating on the subject

he should save those lectures when he's

looking in the mirror and that is why

Doug mhof the second gentleman is today

cancelled if You' like to see what else
