00:00:00.000 Hollywood keeps pretending that it is super brave to shout your abortion, but actresses and singers have been broadcasting their leftism to their fans for a long time, and it's not surprising and it's not brave.
00:00:09.000 The latest starlet to encourage all her young fans is Olivia Rodrigo of Good For You fame.
00:00:13.000 And of course, because she's a youngin, that means that four is a number and you is a letter.
00:00:17.000 Plus, we get to a wild clip of a Yale professor who says that people are holding their own kids hostages, like the parents.
00:00:23.000 They're holding their kids hostages.
00:00:24.000 We will explain why this embodies the left's view of family and why it's totally crazy down. 0.87
00:00:28.000 Olivia Rodrigo now has words for Donald Trump on defunding Planned Parenthood.
00:00:34.000 She has now come out and said that she is supporting Planned Parenthood as the organization remains under attack from President Trump.
00:00:40.000 She was in a dance video posted to Instagram and Twitter accounts of Daisy Chainfield, her upcoming all woman music festival.
00:00:48.000 Text on the video, set to her song My Way, says, Learning that nearly 30 Planned Parenthood health centers have closed since President Trump signed a law defunding Planned Parenthood.
00:00:56.000 But then they break out dancing as the text switches to, But we'll never stop fighting for sexual and reproductive health care.
00:01:02.000 Here's Olivia Artigo, your celebrities telling you how to think. 0.99
00:01:06.000 Here's the part where they are. 1.00
00:01:17.000 And now she's jumping around. 1.00
00:01:19.000 Are you inspired by these ladies jumping around for babies getting killed? 0.94
00:01:24.000 Are you very, very up for this? 1.00
00:01:26.000 They will never stop fighting through the power of dance.
00:01:29.000 The power of TikTok dance.
00:01:31.000 This sounds like a really horrible Disney musical, right? 1.00
00:01:35.000 The abortion clinics were shutting down, but these girls fought back with the power of dance.
00:01:41.000 Then Olivia Rodrigo was interviewed about abortion by the Planned Parenthood people, and they asked her, Are you afraid of speaking up?
00:01:48.000 Why would she possibly be afraid for speaking up?
00:01:50.000 Can we explain how Hollywood works to these people?
00:01:53.000 How the entire entertainment industry works?
00:01:55.000 There's not a single pro abortion person who's afraid of speaking up.
00:01:57.000 There's not a single person who hates Israel who's afraid of speaking up.
00:02:00.000 That's not how any of this works.
00:02:01.000 Hollywood is a leftist bubble.
00:02:04.000 It is a leftist bubble, and even the mildest attempt to pierce that leftist bubble is met with outsized outrage and scorn.
00:02:14.000 Why would Olivia Rodrigo be afraid of that?
00:02:15.000 Of course not.
00:02:16.000 She'd probably even get extra points from these folks.
00:02:20.000 Are you ever worried about speaking up for reproductive rights?
00:02:23.000 No, I really believe in reproductive rights.
00:02:26.000 I just am a firm believer, and you don't need to know every statistic or have a PhD in some crazy subject to know that women should be able to be in control of their own bodies and their own choices.
00:02:37.000 Why does Planned Parenthood matter to you?
00:02:40.000 Planned Parenthood matters to me because women and girls matter to me, and I trust women and girls to make decisions about their own bodies and their own futures, and everything that Planned Parenthood does from STI testing or cancer screening helps them, you know, 0.75
00:02:54.000 take control of their lives and their futures.
00:02:55.000 And so Planned Parenthood will always have a special place in my heart for that reason.
00:02:59.000 What is the difference between emergency contraception and medication abortion?
00:03:04.000 Oh, okay.
00:03:05.000 So, emergency contraception is like the morning after pill.
00:03:08.000 Medication abortion is mifoprestone and misprostol.
00:03:12.000 Yep.
00:03:13.000 And that's under attack.
00:03:14.000 The lawmakers are trying to say that that's unsafe, even though it's very safe and has been for many years.
00:03:19.000 And that's all, folks.
00:03:22.000 Wow.
00:03:23.000 Wow, that's great. 0.99
00:03:24.000 I'm so glad that Olivia Arrigo is in favor of the killing of the unborn. 0.98
00:03:29.000 That's the important thing here. 0.83
00:03:31.000 That's awesome.
00:03:33.000 Well, Planned Parenthood, by the way, has decided that since they are apparently losing money in the abortion business, they are now moving into the gender affirming care business.
00:03:40.000 They're calling abortion gender affirming care.
00:03:44.000 That's weird.
00:03:44.000 So, gender affirming services offered by Planned Parenthood include estrogen for males, testosterone for females, puberty blockers, and trans surgery referrals.
00:03:52.000 I guess it's a way to make a living, I suppose, is to butcher the children.
00:03:57.000 A recent report from Concerned Women for America Legislative Action found a 40% increase in so called gender affirming care services at 14 of Planned Parenthood's biggest affiliates from 2024 to 2025, according to a report from Daily Wire. 0.94
00:04:11.000 And now they're posting that abortion is a gender affirming care.
00:04:14.000 Well, I feel like it's more a life denying care to the thing that you are killing.
00:04:19.000 So this is the thing that they are saying abortion is gender affirming care. 0.51
00:04:24.000 Again, everything is gender affirming care.
00:04:25.000 Everything.
00:04:26.000 How cool.
00:04:28.000 That's exciting stuff. 0.95
00:04:31.000 Okay, meanwhile, in other idiocy from the left, I just had to play this clip because I couldn't go without commenting on this clip. 0.94
00:04:37.000 There's a person named Samuel Moyne. 0.94
00:04:39.000 This person teaches at Yale Law School.
00:04:41.000 Yale Law School is the second best law school in the country.
00:04:44.000 Some say the best, but that's because they're biased.
00:04:46.000 Anyway, Samuel Moyne, who teaches at Yale Law School, again, he should be prestigious.
00:04:46.000 I'm from Harvard.
00:04:54.000 He was talking with Ross Duthat, who's over at the New York Times.
00:04:57.000 He's moving over to 60 Minutes.
00:04:59.000 And Ross was asking him about public policy with regard to voting. 0.94
00:05:03.000 And Moyne uncorked just one of the most asinine things I think I've ever heard in my life. 0.98
00:05:10.000 Ross's head basically explodes in this clip. 0.98
00:05:12.000 It is a wonder that his brain retains its place inside of his skull after this clip.
00:05:21.000 I've gotten in some hot water for proposing we consider overweighting the votes of younger people or assigning the youngest eligible voters proxy votes for the unrepresented children of our country.
00:05:35.000 So those are edgy.
00:05:36.000 Why not assign them to those children's parents?
00:05:39.000 Well, because there's a divergence of interest between parents and children.
00:05:44.000 And I think.
00:05:45.000 It's likelier that young people, not people who are raising families, will have the best insight into the interests of children.
00:05:56.000 Whereas, if you were awarded five or six dafts, I think it's absurd to imagine that a 24 year old recent college graduate has a better assessment of the interests of my own children than I do.
00:06:09.000 And I say this with all due respect to 24 year old recent college graduates of whom I hope to be the parent of in nine years or so.
00:06:18.000 I think parents generally confuse the interests of their family with the interests of their children.
00:06:25.000 And part of our goal, I think, as parents, but also as a society, is trying to make sure that children aren't the hostages of their parents as much as we rely on parents to raise them.
00:06:38.000 The
00:06:41.000 hostages of their parents.
00:06:42.000 See, these are the people who are going to free your children from you.
00:06:46.000 These people are terrifying.
00:06:46.000 They're terrifying, truly.
00:06:48.000 You call my children my hostages.
00:06:50.000 I mean, as Ross then responds, actually, in his experience, more often the parents are the hostages of their children.
00:06:54.000 Anyone who has many kids can, can identify with that statement.
00:06:57.000 This is psychotic, but it is the basis for an awful lot of left wing social policy, right?
00:07:03.000 The kids, we will take care of the children.
00:07:05.000 The children are ours.
00:07:07.000 The children belong to us.
00:07:08.000 You, the parents, you're going to inculcate those kids with your peculiar brand of, you know, biblical values.
00:07:13.000 You're going to want what's best for your family, but we want what's best for your kids. 0.62
00:07:18.000 And what's best for your kids is for us to take your kids from you and indoctrinate them in a bunch of nonsense.
00:07:22.000 And so we ought to wait a bunch of childless 24 year olds more than we wait parents.
00:07:26.000 Wow, wow, wow.
00:07:28.000 But you know, sometimes they just tell on themselves.
00:07:29.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:07:32.000 Wasn't that amazing?
