The Washington Post accidentally promotes a pro-life message in an article meant to rip Texas's anti-abortion law, the Navy pushes alternative pronouns, and Joe Biden gets ticked when asked about the Joe Session controversy.

00:01:37.000Very often people in politics will say a thing and it's as though the words that come out of their face hole does not reach their ear holes.
00:01:44.000And when they do that, it's always very telling because you can see that if they had just an ounce of understanding, if they had an ounce of introspection, they would understand that their positions are just not correct, but they don't. And so instead, they end up accidentally promoting a cause that they actually virulently oppose. A great case in point of this is the Washington Post today. So the Washington Post is a wildly pro-abortion newspaper. This is a paper that spends its days trying to tear into any state that has
00:02:15.000It suggests that pro-choice positions are pro-woman positions, that there is nothing wrong at all, There's an article in the Washington Post today that I really think is just a perfect, wonderful example of how people can't hear themselves when they talk about politics.
00:02:28.000The article is titled, This Texas Teen Wanted an Abortion.
00:02:33.000The article is meant to be a rip on Texas's anti-abortion law, which created this kind of strange and interesting legal workaround whereby they didn't actually make abortion illegal.
00:02:43.000They just said that you could sue anybody.
00:02:44.000A third party could sue anybody who is participating in an abortion other than the woman's.
00:02:49.000You could sue the doctor who is participating in an abortion.
00:02:52.000And this didn't create a state cause of action.
00:02:54.000So that meant that it wasn't a law that could be struck down by the Supreme Court, at least not temporarily.
00:02:59.000This was the most effective anti-abortion law in America prior to whatever the Supreme Court is about to do with Roe versus Wade.
00:03:05.000So again, this article is by a person named Carolyn Kitchener, and it's called, This Texas teen wanted an abortion.
00:03:10.000Now, right off the bat, right off the bat, The article is doing the reverse of what it wants to do.
00:03:16.000It wants to suggest that this woman is somehow a victim.
00:03:20.000But the problem is, the minute you say that she actually had the babies, the babies now exist in the mind of the reader.
00:03:25.000And so that is going to necessarily force you to ask the question, would it have been better if those babies had been killed?
00:03:30.000As soon as the babies exist as an object for you to actually think about, The argument is now over because the entire pro-abortion argument revolves around the idea that we have to remain ignorant.
00:03:42.000We have to have sort of a Rawlsian veil of ignorance placed over our eyes in which we pretend that babies have no interest in life prior to when we pay attention to them.
00:03:51.000At the minute that we take off our sunglasses, we go, oh look, a baby.
00:03:54.000Then all of a sudden the baby has an interest in life.
00:03:56.000But the minute that you actually note that there is a baby there, Now, all of a sudden, all of your petty concerns seem rather secondary, don't they?
00:04:02.000So right there in the title, this Texas teen wanted an abortion.
00:04:12.000They always existed from the point of conception.
00:04:15.000These were human lives with potential.
00:04:17.000And that's the entire theme of the article.
00:04:19.000The entire theme of the article is supposed to be about how terrible this woman's life is.
00:04:22.000But it cannot outweigh the simple fact that there are now living human baby girl twins Who are alive because this woman was not able to kill her babies.
00:04:30.000So here's the article, and I think it really is telling.
00:04:33.000Brooke Alexander turned off her breast pump at 6.04 p.m.
00:04:35.000and brought two fresh bottles of milk over to the bed, where her three-month-old twins lay flat on their backs, red-faced and crying.
00:04:40.000Running on four hours of sleep, the 18-year-old tried to feed both babies at once, holding Kendall in her arms while she tried to get Olivia to feed herself.
00:04:46.000Her bottle propped up by a pillow, but the bottle kept slipping and the baby kept wailing.
00:04:50.000And Brooke's boyfriend, Billy High, wouldn't be home for another five hours.
00:04:55.000She peeked outside the room, just big enough for a full-size mattress, and realized she'd barely seen the sun all day.
00:05:00.000The windows were covered by blankets, pinned up with thumbtacks to keep the room cool.
00:05:03.000Brooke rarely ventured into the rest of the house.
00:05:05.000Billy's dad had taken them in when her mom kicked them out, and she didn't want to get in his way.
00:05:10.000The hours without Billy were always the hardest.
00:05:12.000She knew he had to go, as they relied entirely on the $9.75 an hour he made working the line at Freebird's World Burrito.
00:05:17.000But she tortured herself, imagining all the girls he might be meeting.
00:05:20.000And she wished she had somewhere to go to.
00:05:22.000Okay, so, again, this is supposed to be, she's so miserable, things are, it's so terrible.
00:05:26.000Man, wouldn't she be living the free and happy life if she had just been able to kill these babies in the womb?
00:05:31.000And as we'll see in this article, this perspective completely falls apart on contact with reality.
00:05:36.000Brooke found out she was pregnant late on the night of August 29th, two days before the Texas Heartbeat Act banned abortions once an ultrasound can detect cardiac activity around six weeks of pregnancy.
00:05:45.000It was the most restrictive abortion law to take effect in the United States in nearly 50 years.
00:05:48.000For many Texans who have needed abortions since September, the law has been a major inconvenience, forcing them to drive hundreds of miles and pay hundreds of dollars for a legal procedure they once could have had at home.
00:05:58.000But not everyone has been able to leave the state.
00:06:00.000Some people couldn't take time off from work or afford gas, while others faced with a long journey decided to stay pregnant.
00:06:04.000Nearly 10 months into the Texas law, they've started having the babies they never planned to carry to term.
00:06:09.000Texas offers a glimpse of what much of the country would face if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade this summer, as has been widely expected since a leaked draft opinion circulated last month.
00:06:17.000I do love the way that the Washington Post is pitching this thing, right?
00:06:19.000You can see they're setting this up to be an anti-life article.
00:06:21.000It's going to be a pro-abortion article.
00:06:22.000together, creating vast abortion deserts that will push many into parenthood.
00:06:26.000Now, I do love the way that the Washington Post is pitching this thing, right?
00:06:29.000You can see they're setting this up to be an anti-life article.
00:06:33.000It's going to be a pro-abortion article.
00:07:00.000But again, the Washington Post is setting up this article to be a rebuttal to all pro-life positions.
00:07:04.000And as we'll see, it completely fails on all fronts.
00:07:07.000Sometimes Brooke imagined her life if she hadn't got pregnant and if Texas hadn't banned abortion just days after she decided she wanted one.
00:07:13.000She would have been in school, rushing from class to her shift at Texas Roadhouse, eyes on a real estate license that would finally get her out She pictured an apartment in Austin and enough money for a trip to Hawaii, where she would swim with dolphins in water so clear she could see her toes.
00:07:27.000Okay, so, now you've got her priorities, right?
00:07:29.000These would have been her alternative priorities if she hadn't actually had her children and then brought them to birth and raised them.
00:07:37.000So, on the one hand, two living babies.
00:07:40.000On the other, trip to Hawaii, hanging with the dolphins.
00:07:43.000You can see that this is starting to fall apart real quickly for the Washington Post.
00:07:47.000When both babies finally started eating, Brooke took out her phone and restarted the timer that had been running almost continuously since the day they were born.
00:07:53.000She had two and a half hours until they'd have to eat again.
00:07:55.000Now, I love how the Washington Post treats, like, the basics of parenthood as though this is impossible.
00:08:00.000So, for literally tens of thousands of years, human beings have been doing this sort of stuff.
00:08:05.000For all of my babies, we have three, With the help of God, we'll have more.
00:08:10.000With all of our babies, we have to do this sort of stuff.
00:08:12.000So treating everyday acts of parenting as though this is a massively undoable burden...
00:08:18.000This can only be written by a media reporter living in one of the blue cities where abortions are more common than births.
00:08:24.000Because for the rest of the world, this is just what we call living a normal life with small children.
00:08:29.000This is what it's like to raise a baby.
00:08:30.000Brooke and Billy first met at the downtown skate park with a big group of friends one clear night in May of last year.
00:08:35.000They didn't talk that first day, but Brooke noticed how effortlessly Billy dropped into the quarter pipe the way his blonde hair flipped out from underneath his red beanie.
00:08:42.000Her stomach did a little dance when she saw that he followed her back.
00:08:45.000Soon they were spending almost every day together, throwing themselves into the Gulf of Mexico waves on Padre Island, watching the sun set over the pier.
00:08:51.000At the skate park, he'd help her do the tricks she'd been scared to try alone.
00:08:55.000Pinky promised me he'll do it, he'd say, all blue eyes and dimples as she peeked over the edge of the ramp.
00:08:59.000Once he hooked her little finger, there was no backing down.
00:09:01.000Billie was different from the other guys Brooke knew.
00:09:03.000He held her hand in public and introduced her to her dad.
00:09:05.000When she took him to the mall, he grinned each time she stepped out of the dressing room, telling her how good she looked in each new crop top she tried on.
00:09:12.000I wasn't used to feeling that, Brooke said.
00:09:13.000Brooke took the pregnancy test at 11 o'clock on a hot night at the tail end of the summer.
00:09:17.000When the two pink lines appeared, she looked over at Billy, then slid onto the bathroom floor, finally connecting the signs she'd ignored for weeks.
00:09:23.000The nausea she'd chalk up to food poisoning.
00:09:34.000Leaving Billie in her bedroom with the pregnancy test, Brooke grabbed her keys and drove to her best friend's house, where they sat on the bed and examined her options.
00:09:40.000She could always get an abortion, she told him.
00:09:42.000Then he reminded her of something she vaguely remembered seeing on Twitter.
00:09:45.000A new law was scheduled to take effect September 1.
00:09:48.000The abortion clinic in South Texas, two and a half hours from Corpus Christi, had no open slots the next two days, with patients across the state racing to get into clinics before the law came down.
00:09:56.000So first of all, there's something appropriately dystopian about the idea that there is one place where you can still kill your baby in the nearby area, and it's just swamps.
00:10:04.000Like, people are just, we gotta kill our baby today.
00:10:07.000When Brooke called, the woman on the end of the line offered the names and addresses of clinics in New Mexico a 13-hour drive from Corpus Christi.
00:10:13.000In the meantime, the woman said, Brooke could get an ultrasound somewhere nearby.
00:10:16.000If she was under six weeks, they could still see her.
00:10:18.000We're going to see how far along it is, Brooke texted her dad, Jeremy Alexander, later that night.
00:10:33.000Fingers crossed, four question marks, her dad said.
00:10:36.000But first of all, there's something deeply wrong with the, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the baby is small enough that you can still kill it.
00:10:43.000This article is not going in the way the Washington Post wants it to go and it gets worse.
00:10:46.000Brooke found a place that would perform an ultrasound on short notice and scheduled an appointment for 9am.
00:10:51.000The Washington Post continues, and I'm reading this at length because again, I think that it's important to notice that when the euphemisms slip away with regard to abortion, once the babies actually come into the picture, the pro-choice position completely collapses.
00:11:05.000The Washington Post writes, Whenever a new client walks into the pregnancy center of the Coastal Bend, they're asked to fill out a form.
00:11:11.000After all the usual questions of name, date of birth, marital status comes the one that most interests the staff.
00:11:15.000If you are pregnant, what are your intentions?
00:11:17.000From there, the team sorts each client into one of three groups.
00:11:20.000If they're planning to have the baby, LTC, likely to carry.
00:11:23.000If they're on the fence, AV, abortion vulnerable.
00:11:25.000If they're planning to get an abortion, AM, abortion minded.
00:11:28.000The pregnancy center of the Coastal Bend, which advertises itself as the number one source of abortion information in the region, is one of thousands of crisis pregnancy centers across the United States, anti-abortion organizations that are often religiously affiliated.
00:11:40.000When Brooke showed up with her mom for her appointment, she had no idea she'd walked into a facility designed to dissuade people from getting abortions.
00:11:45.000Oh, these are the bad guys in the piece.
00:11:47.000As we will see, they're not the bad guys.
00:11:49.000The entire moral narrative that the Washington Post is telling right here, it does not hold.
00:11:54.000Brooke also didn't know how much significance her form held for the staff.
00:11:57.000By signaling she wanted an abortion, she became their first AM of the Texas Heartbeat Act.
00:12:01.000Brooke heard about the center from her mom's friend, who knew she needed an ultrasound.
00:12:16.000The advocate assigned to her case, Angie Arnholdt, had been counseling abortion-minded clients at the pregnancy center for a year.
00:12:21.000While many of the center volunteers signed up only to talk to LTCs to have happy conversations about the babies their clients couldn't wait to have, Arnholdt, a 61-year-old who wears a gold cross around her neck, fell called to do what she could to help women make a good decision, she later told the Washington Post.
00:12:38.000Back in the consultation room, Brooke told Arnholdt all the reasons she wanted to get an abortion.
00:12:43.000She had just enrolled in real estate classes at community college, which would be her first time back in a classroom since she dropped out of high school three years earlier at 15.
00:12:51.000She and Billy had been dating only three months.
00:12:52.000OK, so again, the priorities we now have from Brooke, if she gets the abortion.
00:12:57.000I've dropped out of high school at 15.
00:12:58.000I'm going to go back and take a real estate class at the community college.
00:13:02.000Also, maybe eventually I'll be able to save up enough money so I can swim with the dolphins in Hawaii.
00:13:06.000On the other end of this, you have two innocent human babies.
00:13:11.000I'm failing to see the moral balance here.
00:13:14.000Sitting across from Brooke and her mom, Arnholdt opened a woman's right to know, an anti-abortion booklet distributed by the state of Texas.
00:13:19.000Flipping to a page titled abortion risks, the first risk listed was death.
00:13:23.000As Brooke listened to Arnholdt's warnings of depression, nausea, cramping, breast cancer, and infertility, she tried to stay calm, reminding herself women get abortions all the time.
00:13:29.000Still, Brooke couldn't help fixating on some of the words Arnholdt used.
00:13:32.000Vacuum suction, heavy bleeding, punctured uterus.
00:13:35.000And then the Washington Post adds, serious complications from abortion are rare, etc, etc, etc.
00:13:39.000They never point out that the vast majority of women in the United States who give birth and go all the way through the process of pregnancy, they have a recovery period and then they're fine.
00:13:47.000Starting to panic, Brooke looked over at her mom.
00:13:50.000When she found out Brooke was pregnant, Terry Thomas told her daughter to get an abortion.
00:13:53.000While she was a devout Christian going to church a few times a week and twice on Sundays, she had her own views on this particular issue.
00:13:58.000Well, I mean, I feel like there's some play in the joints here.
00:14:03.000Thomas had her first kid at 20, she said, just as she was transferring out of community college with hopes of starting law school.
00:14:08.000If the timing had been different, she said, she might have been a prosecutor.
00:14:10.000Instead, she hopped from one retail job to another, bath and body works to Walgreens to Home Depot.
00:14:15.000Growing up, Brooke said, she bounced back and forth between her mom's house and her dad's, depending on who was the more stable parent.
00:14:20.000At the time, her happiest years as a kid were spent with her dad on a tree-lined street with a ping pong table in the garage and a trampoline in the backyard.
00:14:26.000But then Brooke's dad started using cocaine.
00:14:29.000Well, Alexander had been sober for a few years now.
00:14:31.000Back then, he couldn't kick the habit.
00:14:32.000Around the time he stopped paying all the rent and sewage started backing up in the toilets, Brooke moved back in with her mom.
00:14:36.000With her mom, Brooke always felt like she was tiptoeing.
00:14:39.000If Brooke forgot to turn off the lights or do the dishes, Thomas would start yelling.
00:14:42.000Thomas felt she had every right to respond that way because she was a hen in her hen house.
00:14:46.000Arnholdt, okay, so again, now we're not just making the Washington Post the case for one generation of abortion, we're making the case for two generations of abortion.
00:14:53.000Apparently, Brooke should have not been born, because then mom might have been a prosecutor, and dad, who apparently turned into a cocaine addict, what, would not have been a cocaine addict or something?
00:15:02.000Of course, Brooke would then not exist, and none of this would be a moral issue at all.
00:15:07.000Arnold ushered Brooke into the ultrasound room, where Brooke undressed from the waist down and laid back on an examination table, looking up at a large flat-screen TV.
00:15:14.000As the ultrasound technician pressed the probe into her stomach slathered with gel, Brooke willed the screen to show a fetus without a heartbeat.
00:15:21.000It was twins, and they were 12 weeks along.
00:15:24.000We'll get some more on this incredible Washington Post article in just one minute.
00:15:27.000First, the value of your minivan, pickup sedan, whatever you drive, it probably appreciated significantly last year.
00:15:31.000You didn't know that that crappy old Ford F-150 that you've had for 15 years, that thing is now worth more than it was when you bought it, maybe.
00:15:36.000Well, this is why you can't afford to let that thing break down.
00:15:47.000RockAuto.com only sells auto parts and related tools.
00:15:50.000They've been doing it for over 20 years.
00:15:52.000Their unique intuitive catalog includes photos, specs, and installation tips that make it easy to choose the correct parts for your specific vehicle.
00:15:58.000They not only have the auto parts you need, they'll give you a selection of trusted name brands to choose from.
00:16:02.000You can pick brakes that match how you use your vehicle, whether that's for towing, racing, or just commuting to work.
00:16:06.000You can get suspension, exhaust, air conditioning, and other kits that provide all the parts you need for a successful repair.
00:16:11.000Rockauto.com has lots of parts you might expect would only be available at car dealerships if they're available at all.
00:16:16.000Rockauto.com prices are always reliably low, which means they don't change prices based on what the market's going to bear like many airlines and marketplace sites do.
00:16:22.000Their prices make it affordable for customers to keep their daily drivers and classics safely on the road.
00:16:48.000And once the babies are real to people, it is impossible to argue for their killing.
00:16:52.000And now it becomes impossible to argue in favor of their killing.
00:16:56.000So, again, the notion that all of this is a matter of moral apathy lasts precisely as long as you pretend that the baby doesn't exist.
00:17:04.000But in the article, once the baby exists, now the Washington Post is in trouble because they can't talk their way out of this one.
00:17:09.000And by the way, by the time you're talking about a baby that is 12 weeks old, you're talking about skin and fingernails beginning to grow, you're talking about the changes triggered by hormones to make the external sex organs appear, not sex assigned at birth, like actual biological sex, the kidneys are making urine, like this is a very mature baby at 12 weeks along.
00:17:36.000Which is the normal human reaction to, oh my god, you have twins and they are 12 weeks old and they are healthy and they are growing inside you.
00:17:42.000Brooke felt like she was floating above herself, watching the scene blow.
00:17:44.000Her mom was calling the twins my babies, promising Brooke she would take care of everything as the ultrasound technician told her how much she loved being a twin.
00:17:51.000If she really tried, Brooke thought she could make it to New Mexico.
00:17:53.000Her older brother would probably lend her the money to get there.
00:17:55.000But she couldn't stop staring at the pulsing yellow line on the ultrasound screen.
00:17:59.000She wondered if her babies had heartbeats, as these women said they did, was aborting them murder?
00:18:05.000These are the questions that become unavoidable the minute you get past the euphemisms, and the Washington Post made the mistake.
00:18:12.000Eventually, Arnholdt turned to Brooke and asked whether she'd be keeping them, and Brooke heard herself saying yes.
00:18:18.000And then it talks about the pregnancy and how she and her boyfriend formed a plan in which she would join the Air Force as soon as he graduated from high school.
00:18:36.000So, in other words, these babies didn't just get to live, they also created a plan whereby mommy marries daddy, daddy drops being a bum at the skate park and actually goes to the Air Force and becomes a responsible human being, and mommy ends up married with kids.
00:18:52.000I fail to see how this is the horrific ending to the story that the Washington Post had sort of promised here.
00:18:59.000This is Apparently, she drops out of real estate school.
00:19:04.000But again, she dropped out of high school at 15.
00:19:06.000So, I don't find that particular, like, to blame that on the babies alone, or blame that on the pregnancy, seems a little bit off.
00:19:15.000But here is the conclusion of the article, because this is the part that really is amazing.
00:19:19.000Okay, because it talks about what exactly she ended up doing.
00:19:24.000It says, three weeks later, the baby stayed home while Brooke and Billy drove to the courthouse.
00:19:28.000Billy was about to leave for a five-month stint in basic training and technical school.
00:19:32.000For Brooke to qualify for military benefits, they had to get married.
00:19:56.000She kept imagining the long nights alone in Billy's house, trying to calm two crying babies without him.
00:20:00.000He wouldn't have his phone at basic training.
00:20:01.000She would hear from him mostly through letters.
00:20:03.000She knew she'd have to manage that little voice in the back of her head.
00:20:05.000What if he changed his mind about their life together?
00:20:07.000Standing with Billy in front of the Justice of the Peace, Brooke told herself that one day they'd have their love story moment.
00:20:12.000She'd walk down the aisle in a wedding gown.
00:20:13.000Their friends and family would cry and cheer as she and Billy publicly declared how much they meant to each other.
00:20:17.000I, Brooke Alexander, take thee, Billy High, to be my wedded husband, she repeated.
00:20:21.000If it wasn't for the Texas law, Brooke Knutson might not be standing here.
00:20:24.000And this is the conclusion of the Washington Post, and the fact that the Washington Post thinks that this moral balance, what they're about to do, the balancing act they're about to do...
00:20:32.000is even remotely close to equal on both sides demonstrates the perverse morality of the pro-abortion movement.
00:20:40.000If it weren't for the Texas law, Brooke knew she might not be standing here.
00:20:42.000She'd probably be studying for her next exam, while Billie mastered some new tricks on the quarter pipe.
00:20:47.000She liked to think they'd still be together, spending their money on movie tickets and Whataburger instead of diapers and baby wipes.
00:21:21.000Okay, so that is the most pro-life article in recorded memory.
00:21:25.000And it is all courtesy to a Washington Post that somehow can't understand that the minute you make babies real in people's minds, the minute you make human life real in people's minds, all of the other concerns go away and they all look petty and stupid, by the way.
00:21:39.000I'm sorry, the life, and it's all inherent in the photo.
00:21:42.000Okay, the photo on that article is a photo of her with both babies in front of her.
00:21:47.000And then we're supposed to believe that her alternative life, maybe, maybe one day she gets a real estate license, maybe she's able to see her toes in the Pacific Ocean or something.
00:21:55.000But that outweighs the two living babies that are sitting right there in front of her.
00:22:00.000The pro-choice movement, when faced with, you know, actual non-euphemisms, it completely falls apart.
00:22:06.000If you want something that's not going to fall apart, I'll tell you about a t-shirt that's not going to fall apart.
00:23:28.000And this is true when it comes to, for example, LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign, Pride Month.
00:23:34.000All of the arguments that are made with regard to, for example, teaching this stuff to kids, they're self-refuting.
00:23:39.000So, for example, you have a video that's been making the rounds on the internet of a teacher talking about coming out to his four- to five-year-olds.
00:23:46.000I say his because this is a biological male.
00:23:49.000I only use biological pronouns on this show because self-defined pronouns mean nothing.
00:23:54.000Because self-defined words mean nothing.
00:23:56.000You don't get to have your own English language.
00:23:59.000So, on TikTok, you know, courtesy of Libs of TikTok, of course, Here is a preschool teacher talking about how he came out as trans to the kids.
00:24:11.000Because these are people seeking validation from children.
00:24:13.000And you tell me if this is not self-refuting.
00:24:16.000I finally decided to come out to my kids.
00:24:18.000And my kids are older, they're four and five.
00:24:20.000And the way that I did it is just read them a book about this teddy bear that kind of comes out as a trans girl.
00:24:27.000And it's really nice and it's very simple.
00:24:31.000And I think what made me cry the most was that afterwards, like, I kind of looked at them and there was just this silence in the room and I just thought like, oh my God, now they see me as a totally different person.
00:25:02.000You have a biological male with, once again, a voice deeper than mine, talking about how he has revealed himself as a female to small children and crying over his validation at the hands of small children.
00:25:17.000You're saying the quiet part out loud, guys, which is that this is not about the care and health of kids.
00:25:22.000It is about you validating yourselves by going to a bunch of kids who are too ignorant to know better and confusing them about gender and sexuality.
00:25:34.000And this is why one of the most Orwellian lies that we've seen when it comes to LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign ampersand tilde.
00:25:40.000One of the great lies that we've seen is that this is about the protection of children.
00:25:43.000It is not about the protection of children.
00:25:44.000It's about you validating your own lifestyle in the eyes of children so that you can bring up a new generation of people who will not approvingly at whatever you decide to do.
00:25:52.000It isn't about the kids, it's about you.
00:25:54.000Because kids need boundaries, and they need to understand the wisdom of the ages that has been passed down about the biological difference between men and women, and about the different gender roles, yes, that are evolutionarily attendant to that biology.
00:26:07.000Those are important things for kids to know.
00:26:09.000And you want to obliterate all that, not because you care about the mental and physical well-being of children, but because you wish to harm those things on your own behalf.
00:26:16.000And this is now extended all the way up into the precinct of our most cherished institutions here in the United States, which is why the Washington Free Beacon has now revealed the Navy doing full-on educational sessions in preschool style to members of the military about the use of preferred pronouns.
00:26:33.000Now, I ask you, does this look like a military that's going to win a war?
00:26:37.000You think the Chinese are quaking in their boots at this?
00:26:40.000Also, what exactly is your recruitment directed at?
00:26:44.000It used to be that the military recruitment efforts were directed, typically, at young militant males, who would then redirect that testosterone-laced energy into war with our enemies.
00:26:53.000That's what most militaries are based on, not just the American military.
00:26:59.000Young males tend to be more aggressive and violent than other forms of humanity.
00:27:03.000And here we are trying to suggest that not only does gender not matter, we should obliterate the gender binary in favor of the military of the United States being used as a social engineering tool, which is not going to bode well for the future effectiveness of the United States military or recruitment efforts.
00:27:20.000Let's say that you are a My name is Johnny, and I use he, him pronouns.
00:27:23.000in patriotic young man, loves the American flag, interested in fighting for the military, which by the way has been the traditional description of recruits in the military.
00:27:31.000You think that you're gonna go into a military that seems to prize the trans flag above the American flag?
00:27:36.000You think that that's going to be a real priority for you?
00:27:39.000Let's see how the recruitment efforts go over the next few years.
00:27:41.000So here's this video from the Navy, from the Navy.
00:27:44.000My name is Johnny and I use he, him pronouns.
00:27:48.000Hi, and I'm Conchie and I use she, her pronouns.
00:27:50.000And we're here to talk about pronouns.
00:28:29.000And this is not a slur on anybody who's currently serving in the military or who will serve in the military, far from it.
00:28:33.000It's saying that when you design military policy around social engineering of far-left issues, it is self-defeating and perfectly obviously self-defeating.
00:28:41.000You have a man here who is explaining that he is he him wearing a rainbow sweatshirt and a woman who is wearing some sort of lettering with the trans flag coloring explaining to members of the United States Navy why it is important to create a safe space for everyone in use of pronouns.
00:28:58.000Yes, it seems like our society is in the best of hands.
00:29:02.000Meanwhile, speaking of self-defeating, Megan Rapinoe, who has made a name for herself by being one of the most privileged people on planet Earth, namely a woman who makes her living actually playing a sport that no one watches except once every four years during the World Cup when we are forced to watch by the media, which has decided to make women's soccer the most important thing in America.
00:29:21.000Megan Rapinoe, who also sued US soccer along with her her teammates for pay discrimination despite the fact that they voluntarily signed a contract based on certain levels of pay.
00:29:34.000And so she came out the other day and she said, quote, I am 100% supportive of trans inclusion.
00:29:39.000People do not know very much about it.
00:29:51.000If Megan Rapinoe is so much in favor of trans inclusiveness in women's sports, why don't we just obliterate the women's category altogether and you can get your asses kicked by a bunch of under 14 boys from the Dallas Football Club?
00:30:02.000Which is precisely what happens to the U.S.
00:30:04.000Like, they practice with junior high boys in the women's soccer team.
00:30:08.000That is not a slur against women playing soccer.
00:30:10.000That is to point out that if you obliterate gender distinctions between male and female and pretend they don't matter at all, but then you reap the benefit of being a female soccer player, you don't get to have it both ways.
00:30:21.000The culture battle in the United States right now is predicated on people pretending not to see the stuff that is directly in front of their face.
00:30:26.000Pretending not to see the fact that, for example, a human life in the womb is a human life in the womb.
00:30:30.000Pretending not to see that males and females are different.
00:30:33.000Pretending not to see that when adults are preying on four- and five-year-old children to validate their own feelings of sexual identity, that that is a problem.
00:30:40.000Refusing to see that when the military makes its central core value, quote-unquote celebration and acceptance of identity, that cuts directly against what a military is supposed to be, namely a giant break things machine.
00:30:52.000And then it turns out that when we see the actual evidence of that in front of our eyes, there's a pretty significant backlash.
00:31:03.000So, for example, one area where there should be unity, right, where the left and the right should be able to come together, is on the celebration of Juneteenth.
00:31:10.000I'm not against the celebration of Juneteenth.
00:31:13.000I think a national holiday in the United States celebrating the end of slavery is a good thing.
00:31:17.000And using Juneteenth, which was a holiday that predominantly was celebrated in Texas when Texas slaves found out that they were free, slavery didn't officially end until the passage The 13th Amendment.
00:31:30.000And so there were still a couple of states, I believe it was Kansas and New Jersey, actually, where slavery was still legal until like December of 1865.
00:31:36.000But the Juneteenth celebrations, you know, latching onto the Juneteenth celebrations that already existed in parts of America and using that as the date to celebrate the end of slavery in the United States, one of the great signal, wonderful moments in American history.
00:31:51.000I don't have any problem with that at all, because the United States is a country Where hundreds of thousands of white people died in order to free black slaves.
00:32:03.000Okay, but the left can't just stop there.
00:32:05.000They can't just say, okay, we all agree, slavery was bad, wonderful thing, the United States ended it.
00:32:08.000Instead, they've decided to make Juneteenth and its celebration a referendum on the evils of America, which is ridiculous.
00:32:14.000It should be about the goodness of America.
00:32:17.000It should be about the fulfillment of the promise of the 4th of July, the extension of that to all citizens, right?
00:32:21.000That's what Frederick Douglass would have said when he spoke about why 4th of July, he didn't feel perfectly included in that before the freeing of the slaves.
00:32:29.000What he was saying is that the promises of the 4th of July are universal, and we need to fulfill those.
00:32:33.000But the left can't help themselves, and so everything turns into a culture war battle, and they sometimes just let it slip, and it's really ugly.
00:32:39.000So, for example, you have Sarah Haines on ABC saying that Juneteenth is a more authentic celebration of American freedom than the 4th of July.
00:32:47.000Until five years ago, very few people in the United States, outside of the black community and in certain states that celebrated Juneteenth, had ever heard of Juneteenth.
00:32:55.000And the reason for that is because most people believed that the Civil War innately meant that now 4th of July included black Americans.
00:33:02.000Because once you're an American citizen, you celebrate the 4th of July.
00:33:05.000You are now integrated into the American bargain.
00:33:08.000So the notion that Juneteenth overcomes the 4th of July rather than adumbrating the 4th of July is incorrect.
00:33:12.000But the left has to posit these two in direct opposition to one another in order to maintain that the American flag is still bad.
00:33:18.000So here is Sarah Haines on The View making this case.
00:33:21.000Ever since I learned about Juneteenth, which wasn't as young as you probably did or anyone else, I learned a few years ago, and I was like, how did I not know about this, that we were celebrating Fourth of July, which was freedom of America, when freedom of American people didn't happen until Juneteenth.
00:33:37.000So in some ways, the celebration feels more authentic on Juneteenth.
00:34:54.000Okay, in just one second, we're going to get to the latest on the economy.
00:34:57.000Joe Biden is blundering around in Delaware, making a mockery of himself.
00:35:00.000Meanwhile, the economy is sinking into the mud.
00:35:02.000Did anyone think like a couple of years ago that inflation would be in 8% range or that fuel prices would get into the like $6, $7, $8 range?
00:35:11.000According to leading industry sources, grocery stores across the United States are now worried about food shortages.
00:35:15.000As a result of this crisis, survival food is actually really, really important.
00:35:19.000Everybody should have this for any sort.
00:35:20.000of possible disaster. We're not talking nuclear war here.
00:35:22.000We're talking about the possibility of like if you live in the southeast like I do a hurricane or you're talking about in the west, you're talking about an earthquake or a tornado if you live in the midwest. There's always the possibility you're going to need a survival food kit so why not just go do it right now.
00:35:34.000For patriots survival food kits are a tremendous value.
00:36:19.000Okay, folks, over the weekend, swimming's world governing body voted to ban biological males from competing in women's swimming competitions.
00:36:26.000I know, it took like a long time for them to come to that conclusion, but it seems as though the pushback is finally happening.
00:36:31.000Sanity might be making a comeback, but if it is, that is in no small part thanks to Matt Walsh's groundbreaking film, What Is A Woman, the number one documentary in America.
00:36:38.000It is the most talked about documentary in the country.
00:36:41.000It's now surpassed over 5,000 ratings on Rotten Tomatoes with an audience score of 97%.
00:36:46.000By the way, still no official ratings on Rotten Tomatoes because that's the way they roll.
00:36:49.000What Is A Woman is also a soon-to-be best-selling book.
00:36:51.000You can pick up now on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

00:37:44.000You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:37:48.000Meanwhile, as the culture wars in the United States grow more polarized, the economy continues to sink into the mud.
00:37:59.000So Joe Biden is still hanging out in Delaware and falling off bikes and stuff and then walking along the beach and hopping on invisible pogo sticks and doing the things a normal president does, you know.
00:38:09.000And a reporter made the giant mistake of asking him about the fact that his economy has slipped into recession for no reason other than his own crappy policy.
00:38:17.000And he immediately launched into attacks on the press.
00:38:21.000If Donald Trump had attacked the press this way, it would be an attack on our free press.
00:38:24.000It'd be a violation of the Constitution.
00:39:27.000The earnings of these companies is likely to go down as the market starts to crater and that means the price is going to come down too.
00:39:34.000According to the Wall Street Journal, another week of whipsaw stock trading has many investors wondering how much further markets will fall.
00:39:39.000If history is any guide, the sell-off might still be in its early stages.
00:39:42.000Investors have often blamed the Federal Reserve for market routes.
00:39:44.000It turns out the Fed has often had a hand in market turnarounds as well.
00:39:47.000Going back to 1950, the S&P 500 has sold off at least 15% on 17 occasions, according to research from Vicky Chang, global markets strategist at Goldman Sachs.
00:39:56.000On 11 of those 17 occasions, the stock market managed to bottom out only around the time the Fed shifted toward loosening monetary policy again.
00:40:03.000Right now, the Fed is not talking about loosening monetary policy until mid-2023, probably.
00:40:08.000Getting to that point may be painful, says the Wall Street Journal.
00:40:10.000The S&P 500 has fallen 23% in 2022, marking its worst start to a year since 1932.
00:40:15.000The index declined 5.8% last week, and the Fed is only just getting started.
00:40:19.000After approving its largest interest rate increase since 1994 on Wednesday, the central bank signaled it tends to raise rates several more times this year so it can tamp down inflation.
00:40:29.000So what it looks like right now is that a bunch of companies are about to have a bad earnings quarter.
00:40:34.000And that means that the price on the stock is going to continue to dump.
00:40:37.000And that means you can expect the stock market to continue to decline even further.
00:40:41.000Meanwhile, the federal government continues to try to pour money into an inflation ridden economy.
00:40:47.000The Wall Street Journal points out, remember all that infrastructure money, that great big, great infrastructure bill that Joe Biden was pushing?
00:40:53.000All that money is starting to come online.
00:40:55.000The problem is we're in the middle of an inflationary cycles.
00:40:56.000We're now shoving a trillion dollars into infrastructure at a time when we already have inflated prices on everything.
00:41:04.000According to the Wall Street Journal, construction projects across the United States are running short on labor just as $1 trillion in federal infrastructure money starts to kick in, leading companies to get creative in their quest to attract and retain workers.
00:41:14.000Well, what's actually going to happen is you're going to see wages increase because more money is being shoved into the system.
00:41:18.000You have a limited supply of labor, which means higher wages, which means higher prices, which means more inflation.
00:41:25.000unemployment, economic rebound from COVID-19, about $600 billion in transportation-specific funding expected from the roughly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law have combined to exacerbate existing employee shortages in the construction industry.
00:41:38.000More inflation on your homework and on your roads and on everything.
00:41:43.000Associated General Contractors of America, which represents more than 27,000 construction companies, said publicly funded transportation projects are routinely coming in at least 20% higher than government officials anticipated because of added labor costs.
00:41:56.000So again, Joe Biden's policy here just stinks.
00:41:59.000And honestly, Joe Biden can't seem to decide whether to just roll with the punch and say this is all good, or whether to Actually notice reality and realize this is all quite bad for Americans.
00:42:10.000So Joe Biden was asked about, for example, the skyrocketing price of gas and oil, and he then proceeded to cite his mother, which is always a good time.
00:42:19.000Whenever he starts citing his parents, things are good.
00:42:22.000I'll never get over the fact that one of his favorite stories that his father told him in like 1950, that two dudes making out on a street corner in Scranton, Pennsylvania, That's what loves look like, Joey.
00:42:32.000And now he's gonna cite his mom to the proposition that your oil price is being too high.
00:42:45.000And not just electric vehicles, but across the board.
00:42:48.000And that's something we should be... My team is going to be sitting down with the CEOs of the major oil companies this week and try to get an explanation of how they justify making $35 billion in the first quarter.
00:43:02.000Are you planning to sit down with oil and gas CEOs, Mr. President?
00:44:18.000Meanwhile, this is still a guy who refuses to acknowledge there's even a recession.
00:44:21.000And James Clyburn isn't refusing to acknowledge that.
00:44:23.000A Democrat from South Carolina who helped promote Joe Biden to the presidency, he says, yeah, if you can't afford to buy gas, we're in a recession already, which happens to be a fairly good description of the everyday life of most Americans right now.
00:46:42.000According to the Washington Post, oil refineries across the country are being retired and converted to other uses as owners balk at making costly upgrades.
00:46:50.000And America's pivot away from fossil fuels leaves their future uncertain.
00:46:53.000The downsizing comes despite painfully high gas prices and as demand globally ramps up amid sanctions on gas and diesel produced in Russia, the third biggest petroleum refinery in the world behind the U.S.
00:47:03.000Five refineries have shut down in the United States in just the past two years.
00:47:06.000Reducing the nation's refining capacity by about 5%, eliminating more than 1 million barrels of fuel per day from the market.
00:47:13.000Thus, the remaining facilities are straining to meet demand.
00:47:16.000Yet even at this lucrative moment for what's left of the refining industry, a White House desperate to bring down gas prices is having little success.
00:47:22.000Persuading owners to expand operations, more closures are imminent.
00:47:27.000The companies are unmoved by Joe Biden's threats.
00:47:29.000The profits follow years of heavy losses in many facilities after demand plunged during the pandemic.
00:47:33.000Unpredictable shifts in oil markets had created a challenging business climate before that.
00:47:37.000Even at this moment of windfall refinery earnings, when the profit margin on each barrel of oil processed Why would investors sink their money into an industry that Joe Biden is deliberately attempting to kill?
00:47:45.000He can yell at them about why they don't ramp up production.
00:47:47.000They fear the profits are short-lived.
00:47:49.000The administration's environmental priorities, as well as rising public and corporate concern about climate change, would make many refineries obsolete in the not too distant future.
00:47:59.000Why would investors sink their money into an industry that Joe Biden is deliberately attempting to kill?
00:48:03.000He can yell at them about why they don't ramp up production.
00:48:05.000They're not going to ramp up production when they know that their industry is going to be dead within 18 months if Joe Biden actually has a choice about it.
00:48:11.000As the Washington Post points out, building and upgrading the mammoth structures is a messy, expensive undertaking that can drag on for longer than a decade, strain the finances of even the biggest fossil fuel giants, and run the risk of getting abandoned before the investment is returned.
00:48:24.000Chevron CEO Michael Wirth said in an interview in the Washington Post quote, I don't think you're ever going to see a refinery built again in America.
00:48:30.000It's been 50 years since we built a new one.
00:48:32.000In a country where the policy environment is trying to reduce demand for these products, you're not going to find companies to put billions and billions of dollars into this.
00:48:41.000Which again, puts the lie to the entire leftist idea that you need ESG overseers sitting on the board of every company so that short-term profits don't become the enemy of long-term economic health of a company.
00:48:53.000No, these guys know what the policy circumstances are and they are not going to spend on what the left would call dirty energy if the left is going to be in charge racking them across the coals.
00:49:07.000And again, they're not really hiding the ball here.
00:49:08.000I mean, Eugene Robinson has an insane piece today at the Washington Post talking about regulating carbon as a toxic substance in order to reduce carbon emissions.
00:49:18.000He says, because of human activity, there's more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any time in the past 4 million years.
00:49:23.000We've increased the concentration of that heat trapping gas by a full 50% since the Industrial Revolution.
00:49:27.000Last year's carbon emissions of 36.3 billion tons set a new record.
00:49:31.000There's your status report on the battle against climate change.
00:49:33.000By any scientific measure, we're losing.
00:49:36.000Yet we have to find a way to snatch an acceptable victory from the closing jaws of defeat.
00:49:49.000The EPA doesn't have the power to do this.
00:49:51.000In fact, there's a Supreme Court decision that's likely to come down that specifically talks about this.
00:49:56.000But, Eugene Robinson wants to simply use a three-letter agency staffed by career bureaucrats to kill the energy industry in the United States by regulating carbon, which, um, last I checked is, I mean, you breathe it out, right?
00:50:10.000I mean, like, that's what comes out of your body after you breathe in oxygen.
00:50:13.000Carbon dioxide comes out of your body.
00:50:15.000He wants to regulate that as a toxic substance via the EPA.
00:50:18.000And then you wonder why you're going to have a hard time getting people to actually invest in the building of new refineries, why you can't ramp up production.
00:51:15.000That false consensus is breaking down and it's exacerbated by the fact that you have companies like BlackRock that have decided to endorse this sort of stuff.
00:51:23.000Fascinating article over at the Wall Street Journal today talking about how BlackRock is basically now using the auspices of free markets in order to cram down centralized governance.
00:51:33.000And it's something our friend Vivek Ramaswamy has talked about.
00:51:35.000This is why he is forming a fund deliberately mirroring BlackRock's trades, but without the ESG crap.
00:51:41.000According to the Wall Street Journal, BlackRock casts votes on tens of thousands of proxy proposals a year.
00:51:45.000The responsibility rests with a team of about 70.
00:51:48.000Millions of people are invested in the stock market through BlackRock's index tracking funds.
00:51:51.000As these passive investments have grown in popularity, so have the firm's stakes in 13,000 companies worldwide.
00:51:57.000So has the cloud of BlackRock's investment stewardship team.
00:51:59.000The tiny group of analysts, BlackRock has about 18,400 employees all told, looks after the interests of investors in the firm's $4.6 trillion worth of passive funds.
00:52:10.000In other words, BlackRock is investing more money into the market?
00:52:15.000They are managing more money in the market than the budget of the entire United States government was as of about three years ago.
00:52:21.000That means weighing in on matters as varied as executive compensation, climate change, and abortion access.
00:52:26.000Chief executives jockey for time on analyst calendars.
00:52:28.000They have the power to unseat directors and upend corporate decision-making.
00:52:31.000The team last year engaged with 2,300 companies via emails, phone calls, and meetings, and ultimately voted on 165,000 proposals at 17,000 shareholder meetings.
00:52:40.000It can feel like a lot of power sometimes, said a former investment stewardship team analyst.
00:52:44.000BlackRock's growth and the way it has sought to wield its influence has rankled corporate executives, particularly those in the oil and gas industry.
00:52:50.000BlackRock's stewardship team voted in favor of 47% of environmental and social shareholder proposals last year.
00:52:56.000Its support helped an activist investor win board seats at the oil giant ExxonMobil.
00:53:01.000If a bunch of new emperors, they're the people who vote the shares in the index funds, said Charlie Munger, vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett's business partner.
00:53:08.000A group of Republican senators last month introduced a bill calling for individual investors in passive funds to have the option to vote their shares, a movement to curb the power of BlackRock and its ilk.
00:53:18.000Vanguard and State Street Corp, BlackRock's two biggest rivals, also have small stewardship teams.
00:53:25.000Vanguard has 60 analysts who basically control how all of this money is invested and what sort of conditions they wish to cram down on a vast variety of companies.
00:53:36.000BlackRock Chief Executive Larry Fink has said he wants to get to a place where all individual investors can vote their own shares.
00:53:41.000The firm has given that option to institutional investors that control some $2.3 trillion in assets.
00:53:46.000Investors representing about a quarter of that sum have taken the company up on the offer.
00:53:50.000But that doesn't mean that those institutional investors are not then doing the same thing.
00:53:55.000All of this plays an especially important role for index fund investors because they don't have the option to sell holdings in companies that aren't performing as expected.
00:54:07.000They have a bunch of woke college students who are now determining how $4 trillion of assets get invested in companies and what they wish to cram down on those companies.
00:54:16.000Each stewardship analyst is assigned to cover a specific industry, says the Wall Street Journal.
00:54:19.000They dissect company proxy reports and third-party research, including ESG ratingsāthat's environmental, social governance, left-wing ratingsāfrom MSCI, Inc., and corporate governance transparency scores from the Nonprofit Center for Political Accountability.
00:54:32.000Analysts also conduct their own research.
00:54:36.000Activist investors looking to shake up a company's board sometimes pitch the stewardship team directly.
00:54:40.000In some cases, they introduce their director candidates to members of the stewardship team in person or, since the start of the pandemic, privately.
00:54:48.000Again, this means that basically you have a group of quasi-elites who lie to you.
00:54:53.000They say they're in favor of free markets, and then they cut directly against the free market interests of the companies in which they invest, instead seeking to cram down their particular politics.
00:55:01.000And when people notice, they get angry.
00:55:02.000On the right, they get angry because this ain't the free market.
00:55:04.000And on the left, they get angry because they say, okay, if we're going to have centralized governance, why are we making your friends rich?
00:55:10.000On cultural affairs, the equivalent is where you have a bunch of people in positions of power who pay lip service to belief in God and Judeo-Christian values and then tell you they need to cram down woke pronoun education in the Navy.
00:55:21.000And a lot of people on the left go, so why are you bothering to pay lip service in God?
00:55:25.000And people on the right go, you obviously don't believe in God, which is why you're doing this thing in the first place.
00:55:29.000And then you wonder why politics is polarized?
00:55:31.000It's because basically you have a group of elites, college-educated, white, liberal elites, who have decided that they are going to have the baby.
00:55:38.000They're going to use the auspices of free markets, which are incredibly powerful, in order to control things.
00:55:43.000And you have a bunch of people who are also going to use the auspices of sort of populist language about morality in order to pretend that they are moderate when they are not, in fact, moderate.
00:55:52.000And increasingly, people are seeing through this veil.
00:55:54.000And when that breaks down, things get uglier.
00:55:57.000This is why the Elites, as a class, need to grow a humility organ.
00:56:04.000They need to actually grow some humility.
00:56:07.000They need to recognize that the free markets do not exist for them to manipulate.
00:56:11.000That Judeo-Christian values and that tradition handed down over the course of thousands of years is not theirs to pervert, simply for political gain.
00:56:18.000And if they try to do that, what they are likely to get is an increased polarization in American politics, which is precisely what you're seeing.
00:56:24.000I for one don't actually think that's a bad thing.
00:56:26.000I think that people seeing through the charade is actually a wonderful thing.
00:56:30.000Because for too long you have a bunch of people who lie about what it is that they do for a living.
00:56:35.000Where they're activists on behalf of their own moral code, while wielding the tools that actually make civilizations powerful.
00:56:43.000You don't get to control the levers of power that are built on certain fundamental premises while tearing away at the premises.
