students at a public university are petitioning against their own governor greg abbott as their graduationaker. they say he's not diverse enough and does not align the spirit of the university of north texas. in just the last two -- last week i should say, two other colleges were at the center of controversy after students protested a it conservative author who had been invited to speak about sexual assault. students dpliened thatcomplained that her mere presence was offensive that they needed to spoke trigger warnings so people can deal with their upset. joining me now -- warning, sheer she comes -- that author. an outspoken feminist. great to see you, christina. >> they have the label feminist because you're the type of feminist they believe in. therefore they want you to shut your mouth. if you don't, everyone needs to be held before you come on campus and told they can go to their safe spafce. >> they have safe rooms they go. brown university they have play-doh. it's shocking to me as a philosophy professor that free speech free expression on the campus has become a hostile environment

>> i went to texas to the border with governor greg abbott who offered -- i'm going to go back to new mexico and maybe to california with local and state officials there as well, but in texas in particular greg abbott showed me with the men and women on the ground from the local level to the state level to even some of the fine men and women who work for the federal government and they show that we're just being overrun. that this is an issue of safety, of security national security, it's ultimately an issue of sovereignty. the united states was being attacked in one of our water ports on the east or west coast, we'd be sending in our military forces. and yet we're facing some of the same challenges with international criminal organizations, the cartels that are trafficking not only drugs but weapons and humans. and we need to step up and be aggressive. that means securing the border with infrastructure, technology, personnel. and the federal government's gt to lead the way. we can't expect the border states to do this alone. the federal government needs to step up and act. you can't

married to a latina, greg abbott would hardly fit the typical definition of someone with racial animus toward latinos yet he understood how to dog whistle in a way that would appeal to voters perceived threats of a latino invasion in order to get their votes. this use of dog whistling is not limited to provoking or playing upon perceived threats based on race. this technique is also successfully employed to provoke votes based on gender biases and fears. so let's discuss the use of gender in that regard. perhaps given the sexualized nature which women's candidates and women's issues are framed, wolf whistling rather than dog whistling might be apartment way to describe the tactic. some of the wolf whistling occurs in blatant ways. for example in my race my opponents supporters derided me using photoshopped sexual images with my face or head on them in order to invite response from potential voters to view me as highly sexualized rather than intelligent and competent as potential state leader. there were questions raised about my bonefides as a mother, with suggestions that i abandoned
