JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): Sometimes when you get hit in the head so hard that you go into a coma, you wake up and people have to reteach you the English language. They have to reintroduce you to your family. That's how I feel like dealing with Democrats. 

There are concepts that have kept civilizations thriving for thousands of years: border walls, different bathrooms, asylums. And it's like, we're trying to teach basic things to Democrats and they're not going along with it. It makes me feel like they want civilization to collapse. And civilizations have collapsed. There's no guarantee that the American civilization is going to continue to thrive and survive. If you have people, a faction of this country, dead set on tearing it down by releasing criminals, by destroying gender, by destroying the English language, you will have Rome. 

And that's what you're facing with these people. And that's why Charlie Kirk talked about trying to save Western civilization. We're fighting each other. We're not really fighting China, we're kind of fighting Russia. We're really fighting Americans who want to destroy the country.
