In this fascinating episode, I talk to historian C.J. Killmer about progressivism in the US. He makes a strong case for how the US is currently an oligarchy of progressive elites and this is why they hate Trump so much.

"Trump is a populist, and populism is a real democratic impulse asserting itself against oligarchy."

"Kellie-Jay Keen is a global non-feminist women's rights advocate who founded the #LetWomenSpeak movement. She’s unapologetic and unafraid. She believes that language is the key weapon in the arsenal of those who wish to erase women."

In 2018, under the pseudonym of "Posie Parker", Kellie sold stickers and t.shirts printed with the dictionary definition of a woman "Woman, noun, adult human female" to fund a billboard poster in Liverpool with the same text. This was in protest of a local councilor who had expressed support for transgender ideology. After complaints of the billboard by trans activists, Kellie was interviewed by UK police under caution of committing a "hate crime".

Here, Kellie talks about this time and her development into one of the world's most ferocious women's rights activists against an insidious and radical transgender ideology that many feminists support.
