This week on “Problematic Women” we talk to Emilie Kao, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society. Kao provides insights on sex discrimination in relation to federal civil rights laws and discusses an upcoming Supreme Court case with major implications for sex-segregated spaces (such as bathrooms and locker rooms) and the way gender is interpreted in U.S. law.

We also cover: 

—A growing online epidemic of images of child sexual abuse. 

—Hip-hop star Kanye West’s announcement that he’s now making only gospel music.

—How impeachment actually works: Virginia Allen gives a pop quiz and explains Section 1, Article 2 of the Constitution.

—Our Problematic Woman of the Week is Amy Swearer, legal fellow at Heritage, who went viral for her testimony at a House hearing on “Protecting America From Assault Weapons.”

Today, even with President Trump’s victory, leftist elites have their tentacles in every aspect of our government.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
