let's get response from gina loudon. >> guest: i've been doing this pretty much for most of my life. but i did do, you know, my clinicals and i did my internships and i did all of that and i don't have any degree from male-order institutions at all. my background being in human behavior, what i usually refer to myself as human behavior expert, you know, human and organizational development expert, those sorts of things, sometimes people will call people psychologist because they know that they do something psychological and but that's not me and anyway, i don't -- you know, desire to sit and do a clinical practice, that's not what i do, do i media and i study people who -- people who -- humans how they work and when you asked me about that in the first place that's what i study and that's my interest and i have done extensive research on all of this as well and i've written for years about all of the topics and again people like the caller could get over this vitriol that i'm on the right, i doubt that this caller would have the same problem with some people, i do have a totally -- i

media commentator gina loudon. what we are contesting is that we have these separate policies for girls and for boys and that has to do with the cultural acceptance of male circumcision and religious acceptance of male circumcision in the united states and then. the obviously the lack of understanding in this understanding of the value of the female part which is very important to us because for us this is about gender complementarity concision for little boys is a completely different thing it actually is a much cleaner thing can prevent infections and that the medical risks to the little boy once he's been circumcised are many practices for instance female genital cosmetic surgeries layby a plus he's absolutely fit the definition of female genital mutilation that has been laid out by w.h.o. most of the women and adolescent girls who opt for these practices who undergo these practices are wealthy or the affluent countries there are white they're educated and we're not including their practices in the category of o

joining me, the author of why we fight, sebastian gorka and gina loudon.hat do you think of watters words? >> those who ran closest to the president on the republican side of things tended the to win. and also the other thing we are seeing is we have a total new psychology where i believe that a lot of democrats believe it's okay to steal elections or cheat to win because they believe this president is evil, and the psychology behind that has caused them to act in ways we have not seen in elections. >> florida agriculture, florida senate. i guess things are coming in late in arizona. dr. gorka, what did you think about watters words and all the myths exposed on election day. >> isn't it enough for you to have a world. now you have to have words in your world pass well? are you julius ceasar. if you nailed it. i'll add one thing. obama was panal what controls around -- obama was annal what an -- albatross against the neck of the democrats. beto, gillum, what happened? crushed? i'll give you two examples of the underlying di dynamic. you have people like ron
