The Ben Shapiro Show - The Culture War Is In Full Swing, And Democrats Are Losing | Ep. 1524

00:00:00.000 Democrats search for answers after Roe vs. Wade is overturned, Generation Z reconsiders the life of promiscuity and hedonism to the media's consternation, and the Supreme Court upholds religious freedom.

00:00:09.000 Again, I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:00:10.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:23.000 We'll get to all the news in just one moment.

00:00:25.000 First, you're paying way too much for your cell phone bill.

00:00:26.000 I mean, I know you're paying way too much for everything right now because Joe Biden is president and he's terrible, but this is also true of your cell phone provider.

00:00:32.000 And you're paying for like a lot of extra stuff you're not actually using.

00:00:35.000 Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, they charge you a premium fee every month for data you don't actually use.

00:00:39.000 So why are you paying for things you don't use?

00:00:40.000 That's a silly thing to do.

00:00:42.000 Instead of paying $89 a month to your current provider, pay just $20 to Pure Talk for what you actually need.

00:00:46.000 I made the switch.

00:00:47.000 I'll be honest, I was nervous at first, thinking, is the coverage really going to be good?

00:00:50.000 Am I going to drop calls or have slow internet?

00:00:52.000 I can tell you firsthand, the 5G service is that good because they use the same tower network as one of the big guys.

00:01:30.000 Well, people are very upset about Roe vs. Wade and the entire news cycle is being eaten by Roe vs. Wade.

00:01:35.000 It's easy to forget that there are other things happening in the world, and those things are actually far likelier to affect the 2022 election than the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, which, as I have said, is an issue that is likely to be relegated back to the states.

00:01:46.000 It will become an issue in terms of state legislative elections all over the country, but in terms of federal congressional elections, probably not.

00:01:53.000 There are other issues that are going to matter more to people.

00:01:55.000 I'm just putting it out there right now because it is currently June 28th.

00:01:58.000 The elections are not until November.

00:01:59.000 So those issues are going to include things like the fact that we have a massive immigration crisis on the border that the media have largely been ignoring.

00:02:05.000 We have record numbers of illegal immigrants who are arriving at our southern border, record numbers of people being turned away, and record numbers of people who are entering.

00:02:13.000 They're being both monitored by Border Patrol and also escaping Border Patrol.

00:02:15.000 They're being ushered into the country and released into the interior. 0.61

00:02:18.000 And when you have an open border with no serious Efforts at creating an actual immigration policy, what you end up with is human rights atrocity.

00:02:26.000 And that's exactly what happened in San Antonio last night.

00:02:29.000 According to KSAT.com, 46 people, 46 people were found dead in a tractor trailer on the southwest side.

00:02:36.000 16 have been transported to area hospitals, according to San Antonio police and fire officials.

00:02:41.000 It's tragic, said San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

00:02:43.000 They had families, were likely trying to find a better life.

00:02:45.000 It's nothing short of a horrific human tragedy.

00:02:48.000 Authorities said this is the largest mass casualty event they have seen in San Antonio.

00:02:53.000 Apparently, this is an immigration issue.

00:02:55.000 Officials would not immediately confirm if the victims were migrants or what country they were from.

00:03:00.000 San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said officers received a call 10 minutes before 6 p.m.

00:03:04.000 Monday to the 9600 block of Quintana Road when a person working nearby heard a cry for help.

00:03:08.000 When the worker approached, he saw several bodies inside an 18-wheeler trailer with its doors partially open.

00:03:14.000 Crews with the San Antonio Fire Department arrived at the scene and they found stacks of bodies in the trailer and many people too weak to let themselves out.

00:03:20.000 According to the SAFD Chief Charles Hood, 46 people, men and women ranging from teens to young adults, were pronounced dead at the scene.

00:03:27.000 He said they died from heat stroke and heat exhaustion because the trailer had no air conditioning and no water.

00:03:31.000 Temperatures reached more than 100 degrees on Monday, which means people were basically cooked inside this truck.

00:03:36.000 The Mexican Secretary of External Relations tweeted Monday night the 46 people died of asphyxiation.

00:03:40.000 At least two of the people in the trailer were from Guatemala.

00:03:44.000 The survivors were rushed to local hospitals with heat-related injuries.

00:03:48.000 Apparently, again, this is the predictable result of a homeland security failure.

00:03:56.000 The fact that we have no actual policy at the southern border, the fact that migrants are being trafficked across the southern border by some of the worst people on earth, and that the federal government not only does nothing about it, but seems to poo-poo the idea of doing anything about it, is going to be not only a blot on this administration, but is going to be a continuing issue in politics for the foreseeable future until the United States decides to lock down its border in a serious and real way and have some sort of predictable and administratable system by which we can

00:04:24.000 bring in people who legitimately ought to be in the country and by which we can reject people who ought not. 0.99

00:04:29.000 Otherwise, you're going to end up with more and more situations like this.

00:04:33.000 This is a mass casualty event in the United States due to bad border policy by the federal government.

00:04:37.000 It is that simple.

00:04:38.000 Meanwhile, the economy continues to be in the doldrums.

00:04:42.000 According to the Wall Street Journal, the current inflation was sparked by fiscal policy.

00:04:46.000 The government printed or borrowed about $5 trillion and sent checks to people and businesses.

00:04:49.000 The U.S.

00:04:49.000 has borrowed and spent before without causing inflation.

00:04:51.000 People held the extra debt as a good investment.

00:04:53.000 That this stimulus led to inflation thus reflects a broader loss of faith that the U.S.

00:04:57.000 will repay its debt at all.

00:04:59.000 The Federal Reserve's monetary policy tools to cure inflation are blunt.

00:05:02.000 By raising interest rates, the Fed pushes the economy toward recession.

00:05:05.000 It hopes to push just enough to offset the stimulus's fiscal boost.

00:05:08.000 But monetary breaks and a floored fiscal gas pedal mistreat the economic engine.

00:05:12.000 Raising interest rates can lower stock and bond prices and raise borrowing costs, cutting into home construction, car purchases, and corporate investment.

00:05:19.000 The Fed can interrupt the flow of credit, but higher interest rates don't do much to discourage people from spending government stimulus checks.

00:05:24.000 At best, the economy is unbalanced.

00:05:26.000 The economy needs investment in housing.

00:05:27.000 Today's demand is tomorrow's supply.

00:05:30.000 This is according to John Cochran, writing for the Wall Street Journal.

00:05:33.000 Slowing the economy isn't guaranteed to reduce inflation durably anyway.

00:05:36.000 Even in the 2008 recession, with employment above 8%, core inflation fell only from 2.4% in December to 0.6% in October 2010, and then bounced back to 2.3% in December 2011.

00:05:43.000 2010 and then bounce back to 2.3% in December 2011. At this rate, even temporarily curing 6% May 2022 core inflation would take a dismal recession. So a lot of the Biden administration policy is not going to be solved by simply the idea that the Federal Reserve is going to raise those interest rates.

00:06:02.000 Says Cochran, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.

00:06:05.000 Monetary policy alone can't cure or sustain inflation.

00:06:07.000 The government will have to fix the underlying fiscal problem.

00:06:10.000 Short-run deficit reduction, temporary measures, accounting gimmicks will not work.

00:06:14.000 Neither will a bout of growth-killing, high-tax austerity.

00:06:17.000 has to persuade people that over the long haul of several decades, it will return to its tradition of running small primary surpluses that gradually repay debts.

00:06:17.000 The U.S.

00:06:24.000 That outcome requires economic growth, which raises long-run taxable income.

00:06:28.000 Raising tax rates alone is like climbing a sand dune.

00:06:31.000 Each rise hurts income growth.

00:06:32.000 The U.S.

00:06:33.000 also needs spending reform, especially on entitlements.

00:06:37.000 The good news is inflation can end quickly if there's joint fiscal, monetary, and economic reform.

00:06:41.000 The inflation targets New Zealand, Israel, Canada, and Sweden adopted in the early 90s are good examples.

00:06:45.000 They included both deep fiscal and economic reforms.

00:06:48.000 The question is whether Joe Biden's going to do any of that.

00:06:50.000 And right now the appearance is no.

00:06:51.000 He's just going to ignore reality on the ground.

00:06:54.000 And this is particularly true with energy production.

00:06:56.000 I mean, you may not have noticed, but gas is still well above $5 a gallon almost every place in the United States.

00:07:01.000 And Joe Biden, whose plan seems to be that he is going to just go to the UAE and the Saudis and ask them to pump more without actually allowing for significant loosening of restrictions on investment in oil and natural gas in the United States.

00:07:14.000 He was told by Emmanuel Macron at the G7 yesterday, it was caught on camera, Macron, telling Biden they don't have any more gas to pump.

00:07:20.000 They cannot increase their supply.

00:07:21.000 You need to start increasing our supply like forthwith.

00:07:23.000 Your bad green policy, the same policy the French adopted and the Germans and the rest of the Europeans at the behest of a whiny 17 year old Swedish teenager, Those policies are a giant failure, according to Emmanuel Macron, French president.

00:07:37.000 I got him and told him two things.

00:07:38.000 One, I'm at the maximum, what he claimed, and this is my commitment.

00:07:45.000 Second, according to us, the Saudis can increase a little bit, but 150 or a little bit more, and they don't have huge capacities at this stage, before six months' time.

00:08:00.000 The last one, the very last point is about...

00:08:06.000 And Biden's like, where's my pudding?

00:08:08.000 Macron's telling him straight up, UAE and Saudi do not have the capacity to pump the way you want them to. 1.00

00:08:13.000 He's begging him to pump more.

00:08:15.000 And Biden's like, yeah, but Matlock's on. 0.97

00:08:18.000 Joe Biden's economic plans, they are garbage, and even the French president knows that at this point. 0.96

00:08:22.000 But here's the thing. 0.98

00:08:23.000 Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen openly admitted that she blew it when it came to inflation just last month.

00:08:28.000 This person, she's supposed to be the authority on our nation's economic policy.

00:08:31.000 She said in a statement to CNN, I was wrong about the path inflation would take.

00:08:34.000 There have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly, that at the time I didn't fully understand.

00:08:43.000 So now we're supposed to believe that they do understand and they get it now and they're going to fix everything.

00:08:46.000 Or alternatively, maybe you should not trust them.

00:09:22.000 Get started today with my friends over at Birchgold.

00:09:26.000 Here's the thing.

00:09:27.000 While the media are consumed with the, I think, unbased position that abortion is going to decide the 2022 elections, I have serious reservations about whether that is the case.

00:09:35.000 I do not think abortion is going to be the key issue in 2022.

00:09:37.000 I don't think it's going to be the key issue on the election front in 2024, 2026, 2028, or beyond.

00:09:42.000 The reason I say this is because I am almost certain that the Supreme Court of the United States, in delegating this issue back to the states the way that it was for literally all of American history, has basically now said that the Congress of the United States is not going to be the chief mechanism by which abortion policy is decided.

00:09:59.000 And if this is going to be decided on a federal level, it will have to be done through constitutional amendment.

00:10:03.000 And the reason I say this is because the same court that just overruled Roe v. Wade also happens to believe in the basic precepts of federalism.

00:10:10.000 And there is no delegated power to the Congress of the United States to actually pass wide-scale pro-abortion or pro-life legislation via the powers that are delegated to it by the Constitution of the United States.

00:10:21.000 You have to actually have a delegated power under the Constitution in order for Congress to do something.

00:10:26.000 Typically, that means commerce power.

00:10:28.000 So, you will see, for example, the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.

00:10:31.000 That passed in the 2000s, in the early 2000s.

00:10:34.000 It was connected to any sort of partial birth abortion that affects interstate commerce. 0.95

00:10:38.000 But as the Supreme Court of the United States becomes more originalist, the interstate commerce clause is not going to allow for the possibility of widespread regulation on a variety of issues.

00:10:51.000 So I just don't think this is going to be a major federal election issue.

00:10:53.000 I think that it's a media issue, but I also don't think it's going to be a major federal election issue.

00:10:57.000 Now, the one way it will be a major federal election issue is that the culture wars matter and the image of the two parties matters an awful lot.

00:11:04.000 So the left is trying to paint the right as abortion banning John Lithgow from Footloose.

00:11:09.000 And the right is trying to paint the left as radical on social policy.

00:11:15.000 Now, I think it's going to be a lot easier for the right to do this than the left.

00:11:18.000 The reason I say this is because the left is actually doing all these things publicly.

00:11:21.000 And the things that they are doing shock the conscience.

00:11:24.000 The pro-life position is controversial, but it's not nearly as unpopular as the position that drag queens in schools are a good thing and that we need to trans the kids.

00:11:33.000 These positions are not winners.

00:11:35.000 And yet the Democratic Party has decided to full-scale embrace a lot of those positions.

00:11:40.000 They may think that they are winning the culture wars because, honestly, for all of my life, the left has won the culture wars.

00:11:44.000 But there comes a point where the left is pushed too far.

00:11:47.000 Circa about 2013-2014, they sort of hit their high watermark.

00:11:51.000 And that was the Obergefell case in which they had same-sex marriage made the law of the land.

00:11:56.000 And most Americans are like, okay, is the battle over now?

00:11:59.000 Can we just go back to our regular lives and be left alone?

00:12:02.000 And the left said, no, you absolutely cannot.

00:12:04.000 We must have abortion on demand everywhere across the United States. 1.00

00:12:07.000 We must educate your children in the glories of LGBTQ plus minus divided by assigned queer theory. 0.99

00:12:14.000 We have to do all those things.

00:12:15.000 Those are things we must, that is the next step in the civil rights battle.

00:12:18.000 And the backlash is coming, and the backlash is here, and the backlash is strong.

00:12:22.000 Because we are now seeing that for a long time, for most of my life, And certainly for generations before, there was a baseline assumption in the United States, correct or not, that everybody was aiming, generally speaking, really since the end of World War II, at the same final result.

00:12:36.000 The same final result was a stronger America on the foreign policy front, with a stronger economy, with a more cordial relationship between Americans.

00:12:43.000 We were all aiming at sort of the same thing, with a moral basis.

00:12:46.000 And we just had different ways of getting there.

00:12:48.000 This was the truism, the tautology that was put out there over and over and over, 80s, 90s, even 2000s.

00:12:55.000 And now it's completely broken down because it appears that there really are two different countries culturally.

00:13:00.000 So the culture battles matter.

00:13:01.000 They matter an awful lot.

00:13:02.000 Not in terms of the actual policy that gets done, although given how hard the Biden administration is pushing on the left-wing policy, it does matter.

00:13:09.000 But just in terms of the image as to what Americans want their country to be.

00:13:14.000 I point this out because The culture wars are one of the reasons why Donald Trump became president in 2016.

00:13:19.000 It's one of the reasons why Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida is very popular with the Republican base right now.

00:13:23.000 It's because they're not steering away from the culture wars.

00:13:25.000 For all of the 2000s, Republicans were so shy about culture war issues, they were told, don't talk about culture.

00:13:32.000 Whatever you do, don't talk abortion, don't talk same-sex marriage, don't talk about any of these things, because it's off-putting to people.

00:13:37.000 You really want to just talk about the consensus issues, like lower taxes or crime.

00:13:40.000 Just avoid the hot topic culture issues.

00:13:43.000 The left has pushed so far here that of course they're going to lose.

00:13:46.000 They pushed way too far.

00:13:47.000 They're way over the hill.

00:13:48.000 And this is why the right is starting to win.

00:13:50.000 I'll tell you a way that you can win in your life and that is you need to get yourself an all-form sofa.

00:13:54.000 So, I've talked about Helix before because my sleep is dependent on my Helix sleep mattress.

00:13:58.000 But now, Helix is making couches.

00:14:00.000 Let me tell you, I love my all-form sofa.

00:14:02.000 I love it so much I got one for my mom.

00:14:02.000 I love it.

00:14:04.000 I got one for my sister.

00:14:05.000 What makes an all-form sofa really great?

00:14:06.000 Well, for starters, it's the easiest way you can customize a sofa using premium materials at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.

00:14:56.000 Well, now that the left has pushed so far beyond the point of reason, the right is pushing back and the right is winning a lot of people over.

00:15:03.000 So, there are a lot of indicators of this.

00:15:07.000 One of the indicators is that the pop culture world is completely out of touch.

00:15:10.000 Completely out of touch.

00:15:11.000 So, the lead singer of Green Day has now announced that he's going to renounce his citizenship over the abortion ruling.

00:15:17.000 Billy Joe Armstrong telling fans at a London concert he no longer wants to be a US citizen.

00:15:22.000 And I think most Americans are going to look at this and they're going to say, well, bye.

00:15:27.000 I mean, I know, America's greatest artist, one of the great products, a hundred years from now, when we fire music into space for the aliens to find, the greatest of world culture, I'm sure that Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong will be on that record.

00:15:43.000 Or maybe not.

00:15:44.000 But the entire celebrity class has revolved around these social issues.

00:15:48.000 And when the celebrity class is greenlighting your social policy as it is for the Democratic Party, That is not going to be something that redounds to the benefit of the Republican Party.

00:15:57.000 Now the media, because they follow the lead of Green Day lead singers and Lorde and Lily Allen, because they have the same exact policy positions as these people, the same social beliefs as these people, they are in a bubble of their own making where they think that this sort of stuff is really popular.

00:16:12.000 The answer is it really isn't.

00:16:14.000 Anti-abortion activists got what they wanted, right?

00:16:17.000 Se cup is very libertarian on social issues.

00:16:17.000 Which is to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

00:16:20.000 She's been very libertarian on social issues for quite a long time.

00:16:22.000 And she says Republicans are never going to win again because of the Roe versus Wade overturning.

00:16:26.000 I have some news for her.

00:16:27.000 This is not going to age well, this particular clip.

00:16:30.000 Anti-abortion activists got what they wanted, right, which is to overturn Roe versus Wade.

00:16:37.000 What happens now politically, do you think?

00:16:39.000 It's hard to imagine the Republican Party surviving this.

00:16:45.000 Um... 1.00

00:16:46.000 Between anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, book banning, anti-democracy, I mean, add all the regressive bulls**t, garbage, sorry, to this. 1.00

00:17:00.000 I don't take that back. 0.99

00:17:02.000 Add it all together, and I don't know who's left in future generations to be drawn to this party.

00:17:09.000 If you look back at 2016, I think people voted for Trump for a wide array of reasons. 0.73

00:17:13.000 Some of them garbage, but some of them legitimately economic or even foreign policy.

00:17:19.000 I think the people voting for more Trump, more MAGA, now are really motivated by very few reasons, and so there are fewer of them. 0.94

00:17:28.000 And when you imagine that, I think for the first time, maybe we should ask Jeff Toobin, a generation will be able to say, my parents had a right that I don't have today.

00:17:39.000 For the first time, a right was taken back.

00:17:43.000 I can't imagine how Republicans message to new voters and don't just keep shrinking and condensing.

00:17:51.000 OK, first of all, just to point out here, the Democratic agenda on this has the anti-democracy.

00:17:55.000 They've been saying that the Supreme Court of the United States should basically be thrown out into the garbage. 0.99

00:17:59.000 The filibuster ought to be killed. 0.99

00:18:01.000 Elections ought to be rigged by Democratic gerrymandering. 0.97

00:18:04.000 They've been saying all this stuff publicly and openly for months and now probably years going back.

00:18:09.000 When she says book burning and censorship, it's the left that's doing all that stuff.

00:18:13.000 We're just saying that you don't get to indoctrinate the kids.

00:18:16.000 But put that aside.

00:18:17.000 I don't know who's going to in the future.

00:18:19.000 How's this ever going to work?

00:18:20.000 How are Republicans ever going to win again?

00:18:22.000 Associated Press, today, a political shift is beginning to take hold across the United States as tens of thousands of suburban swing voters who helped fuel the Democratic Party's gains in recent years are becoming Republicans.

00:18:33.000 Sad trombone from the Price is Right for SE Cup.

00:18:35.000 More than 1 million voters across 43 states have switched to the Republican Party over the last year, according to voter registration data analyzed by the Associated Press.

00:18:43.000 The previously unreported number reflects a phenomenon that is playing out in virtually every region of the country.

00:18:49.000 Democratic and Republican states, along with cities and small towns, in the period since President Joe Biden replaced former President Trump.

00:18:55.000 Nowhere is the shift more pronounced than in the suburbs.

00:18:58.000 This was supposed to be the place where Democrats were going to win broad swaths of Americans with their liberal social policy, where well-educated swing voters who turned against Trump's Republican Party in recent years appear to be swinging back.

00:19:08.000 Over the last year, far more people are switching to the GOP across suburban counties from Denver to Atlanta and Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

00:19:15.000 Republicans also gained ground in counties across medium-sized cities like Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Raleigh, North Carolina, Augusta, Georgia, and Des Moines, Iowa.

00:19:23.000 The AP examined nearly 1.7 million voters who had likely switched affiliations across 42 states, for which there is data.

00:19:29.000 over the last 12 months, according to L2, a political data firm.

00:19:32.000 L2 uses a combination of state voter records and statistical modeling to determine party affiliation, meaning that the switchers include both those who have formally changed their registration and those who L2 estimates have shifted toward the GOP.

00:19:43.000 The data shows a definite reversal from the period when Trump was in office, when Democrats enjoyed a slight edge in the number of party switchers nationwide.

00:19:49.000 Over the last year, roughly two-thirds of the 1.7 million voters who changed their party affiliation shifted Republican.

00:19:56.000 In all, more than a million people became Republicans compared to about 630,000 who became Democrats.

00:20:01.000 The broad migration of more than 1 million voters, a small portion of the overall U.S.

00:20:04.000 electorate, doesn't ensure widespread Republican success in November.

00:20:07.000 Still, the details about the party switchers present a dire warning for Democrats.

00:20:11.000 Well, maybe it's because they've decided to embrace the most radical policies.

00:20:15.000 By the way, states like Florida are now moving closer to pure red.

00:20:18.000 Florida, for my entire lifetime, was a closely divided purple state in 2018.

00:20:24.000 The current governor of the state of Florida, Ron DeSantis, beat Andrew Gillum, a man who was caught in a hotel room with a gay hooker and meth, like five minutes after he was governor, and now is under federal indictment for corruption.

00:20:37.000 He beat that guy by like 30,000 votes.

00:20:39.000 This time around, Ron DeSantis is going to win in a walk.

00:20:41.000 The Democratic Governors Association isn't even spending money.

00:20:44.000 You want to know why that is?

00:20:45.000 It's because democratic policy is bad.

00:20:47.000 It's because people are not interested in it.

00:20:48.000 And because, again, even the issues where they think they are winning, They are not winning.

00:20:53.000 Even the issues where they think that they have the momentum, they don't have the momentum.

00:20:57.000 So, to take the most obvious example of today, on abortion, Democrats think they have the momentum.

00:21:01.000 They look at the polls and they say, look, most Americans don't want full-scale pro-life laws all the way back to birth.

00:21:05.000 And that's true, if you look at the polls.

00:21:07.000 It's also true if you look at the polls, the vast majority of Americans want some restrictions on abortion.

00:21:11.000 The Democratic Party wants zero restrictions on abortion.

00:21:13.000 And there's a much bigger problem for the Democrats than specific policy preferences on abortion by the American public.

00:21:18.000 And that is the way Democrats talk about life itself.

00:21:21.000 The way that Democrats talk about life and what is meaningful and how life ought to be constructed is very ugly to people.

00:21:28.000 This is their biggest problem.

00:21:29.000 Their biggest problem is not, you know, the safe, legal and rare argument by Democrats in the 90s was effective specifically because that argument acknowledged the moral evil that abortion is.

00:21:39.000 It then made a bunch of arguments to sort of paper that over in order to get to the policy preferences that most Americans have, which is a sort of squishy, somewhere in the middle position on abortion.

00:21:48.000 I get it.

00:21:48.000 Most people don't like to think through the issues.

00:21:49.000 They just think, I could see myself getting pregnant and six weeks in deciding I don't want it.

00:21:54.000 And is it really that developed?

00:21:55.000 And fine, abortion. 0.99

00:21:56.000 But they don't actually want to come face to face with the actual moral quagmire that abortion represents.

00:22:01.000 The Democratic Party in the 90s recognized that.

00:22:03.000 And so they played a little euphemistic game where they would do safe, legal, and rare.

00:22:06.000 We understand it's a moral sacrifice.

00:22:07.000 We understand it's a real problem.

00:22:09.000 It's not a good thing.

00:22:11.000 It's a real hardship.

00:22:13.000 But it has to be available.

00:22:14.000 And that did reflect, I think, a huge number of Americans.

00:22:17.000 The Democratic Party position today is celebrate your abortion.

00:22:20.000 The Democratic Party position today is you have to teach kids about the virtue of abortion.

00:22:26.000 It's an amazing thing.

00:22:27.000 The entire cultural move by the left has been to celebrate that which was once considered a necessary evil.

00:22:33.000 There's no such thing as a necessary evil.

00:22:35.000 There is only a recommended evil.

00:22:38.000 So for example, the senior editor at Scholastic Press, which is a book publisher for children, she just released a statement three days ago, quote, I'll mention now, my colleagues and I absolutely do want your young adult books with or about abortions.

00:22:52.000 There aren't enough of them.

00:22:53.000 These stories need to be told and normalized.

00:22:55.000 That's not going to change.

00:22:58.000 Hey, it's that sort of stuff that is going to shift votes.

00:23:00.000 I know that people in the political world, you know, we who spend our time analyzing legislation and reading court decisions and who look at the details of how Senate bills move and how reconciliation committees put together the actual law.

00:23:14.000 We are obsessed with that kind of stuff.

00:23:15.000 Most Americans are not.

00:23:16.000 Most Americans have a casual view of what parties believe.

00:23:19.000 And when they see that the left-wing party, the Democratic Party, is pushing A cultural future that looks extremely morally ugly.

00:23:29.000 And they see that the Republican Party is pushing a future that significantly less so.

00:23:35.000 That is not a particularly hard call.

00:23:38.000 The Democratic Party position used to be leave me alone in the privacy of my home to do what I want.

00:23:41.000 And most Americans were like, OK, fine, fair enough.

00:23:44.000 And then the Democratic Party decided we are now going to full scale endorse and celebrate every form of bad behavior we can.

00:23:50.000 And most Americans are not on board with that.

00:23:52.000 And Democrats can't help themselves. 0.86

00:23:53.000 They really, really cannot.

00:23:55.000 The Democratic Party has decided that their utopian vision involves all of us just celebrating, celebrating sin and bad behavior and engaging in it.

00:24:03.000 And this is the true measure of human happiness. 1.00

00:24:05.000 Well, that's stupid. 1.00

00:24:06.000 You know, it's another stupid thing. 1.00

00:24:07.000 Another stupid thing would be not checking out Altocrypto IRA, because the fact is that I'm a fan of Bitcoin. 0.99

00:25:18.000 So let's talk for a second about the democratic angle on all of this.

00:25:24.000 Because it does speak to the kind of culture that they want to purvey.

00:25:27.000 And most Americans look at their kids and they say, I don't want my kids growing up in this culture.

00:25:29.000 So for example, the way that they talk about abortion.

00:25:31.000 Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, yesterday she made a very telling statement.

00:25:35.000 She was trying to... 0.99

00:25:37.000 I understand she's inarticulate.

00:25:38.000 I understand that Kamala Harris can't string together more than two sentences without having to circle back around and repeat herself. 0.99

00:25:45.000 I understand that she's a very bad example of a person who thinks before she talks because she really doesn't.

00:25:49.000 She starts off a sentence not knowing where the sentence is going to end.

00:25:52.000 But the statement that she made in the CNN exclusive about why abortion is necessary carries such an ugly underlying moral message that is worthy of comment because this is the belief of a huge swath of Democratic Party.

00:26:04.000 Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:26:05.000 Everyone has something at risk on this.

00:26:08.000 First of all, if you are a parent of sons, do think about what this means for the life of your son, and what that will mean in terms of the choices he will have.

00:26:20.000 Do think about it in the context of the fact that they wrote this decision, including concurring opinions, that suggest that other rights, such as the freedom to make decisions about when you were going to start a family, The freedom and the right to make decisions about contraception, IUDs, what this is going to mean in terms of in vitro fertilization.

00:26:45.000 Okay, that statement, think about what it means in the life of your son.

00:26:48.000 This goes to the underlying sexual ethos of the Democratic Party, which is pure, complete promiscuity and hedonism.

00:26:54.000 That is the underlying ethos, that that is an active good, that anything that impedes your ability to lead the sexually self-fulfilling life that you want, including responsibility to children or to your sexual partner, that these things are active bads and any imposition on that, including to save the life of a child.

00:27:11.000 Is a complete non-concern.

00:27:12.000 I mean, this falls directly in line with something that then Senator Obama said when he was talking about abortion.

00:27:19.000 And he said about his own kids at the time, said, I'm going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.

00:27:26.000 This is the language of the Democratic Party.

00:27:30.000 It's about being punished with a baby.

00:27:31.000 I mean, what Kamala Harris is saying there is think about your sons.

00:27:34.000 Your sons want to bang around.

00:27:34.000 You have sons.

00:27:36.000 That's what they want to do.

00:27:36.000 Let's be real.

00:27:37.000 Your sons want to have as much sex with as many people as humanly possible. 0.94

00:27:41.000 Now they're going to have to think about things like maybe they shouldn't have as much sex with as many people as humanly possible because they might have a baby. 0.99

00:27:47.000 And you wouldn't want them to have to take care of a baby now, would you?

00:27:49.000 You wouldn't want them to have to take responsibility for their sexual decision making, would you? 0.97

00:27:53.000 To the consequences of their sexual decision making?

00:27:56.000 The Democratic Party has spent the last several decades trying to enmesh in the idea of sex, the idea that it is completely disconnected from procreation, breaking every rule of mammalian biology for hundreds of thousands of years.

00:28:10.000 The idea is that sex is a completely separate thing, that thanks to birth control, thanks to contraception, and thanks to abortion, we now have a completely sexually fluid population where the main concern is genital pleasure.

00:28:20.000 That is not a winner.

00:28:22.000 That's not how most people think of fulfillment.

00:28:22.000 That is not a winner.

00:28:25.000 Kamala Harris and Howard Stern are saying the same thing.

00:28:28.000 Howard Stern is never going to win public office in the United States because nobody agrees with the morality of Howard Stern.

00:28:34.000 Until five seconds ago, Howard Stern, he's now considered a moral voice on the left.

00:28:39.000 You show me your guy, right?

00:28:41.000 This guy, he's considered some sort of moral voice on the left because he's pro-abortion.

00:28:46.000 You want to know why Howard Stern is pro-abortion?

00:28:48.000 Because the hedonistic lifestyle is precisely what he's been pushing for decades.

00:28:54.000 I'm not saying he's not a talented broadcaster. 0.99

00:28:55.000 He's a talented broadcaster who also says to women, show me your tits. 0.99

00:28:58.000 Until five seconds ago, Howard Stern was considered a huge sexist because he is a huge sexist. 1.00

00:29:03.000 He treats women as pieces of meat. 0.97

00:29:05.000 He's done this for decades.

00:29:06.000 And now he's the great defender of women, according to the left, because we're all supposed to treat everybody as pieces of meat all the time.

00:29:13.000 So Howard Stern yesterday, repeating the same sort of arguments you're getting from the Vice President of the United States.

00:29:18.000 The Democratic Party didn't used to be on board with Howard Stern's version of morality.

00:29:22.000 Now they are.

00:29:23.000 Here's Howard Stern saying that he wants to run for president to pack the Supreme Court because he just needs a board. 0.79

00:29:27.000 Now, do you think that Howard Stern is so concerned with the liberation of women for any other reason than he likes sexual promiscuity?

00:29:34.000 Do you think Howard Stern, of all human beings, is deeply concerned With the independence of women's decision-making?

00:29:42.000 Or the future of the country?

00:29:45.000 Again, this guy is mostly famous for having women in his studio and asking them to make out with each other.

00:29:52.000 Here's Howard Stern, great moral exemplar.

00:29:56.000 We, as a country, voted for Hillary Clinton by 3 million votes. 0.99

00:30:02.000 We voted for Biden because it was repugnant, all this horseshit. 0.97

00:30:07.000 But now for life, now listen, the other thing is if I do run for president, and I'm not f***ing around, I'm really thinking about it, because the only other thing I'm going to do is appoint five more Supreme Court justices. 0.98

00:30:21.000 Well, I mean, that is exactly what the Democrats would like to do.

00:30:25.000 That is the moral world that they're pushing.

00:30:27.000 And it's embedded in so much of the media.

00:30:31.000 They just take for granted the idea that we all want this moral world where everything boils down to your subjective sense of sexual pleasure and that everybody should celebrate you for that subjective sense of sexual pleasure.

00:30:42.000 It's why the left, they literally cannot comprehend Why there are so many people who, for example, are not on board with gay pride flags flying at Target when you take your kids to shop.

00:30:52.000 They just don't understand this.

00:30:53.000 Because obviously, we all have the same goal, according to the left.

00:30:55.000 The same goal, according to the left, is that individual sense of sexual self-pleasure that matters most.

00:31:01.000 That is what human happiness is.

00:31:04.000 And so, this is embedded in the media coverage.

00:31:05.000 So there's an article from Insider.com.

00:31:07.000 I only spotted it because Twitter was featuring it, because Twitter is a left-wing media outlet.

00:31:11.000 And so they have all these featured articles.

00:31:13.000 And here is what the article says.

00:31:14.000 It's astonishing.

00:31:15.000 It says swearing off men and avoiding intimacy.

00:31:18.000 Gen Z reconsider sex in the wake of a post-war world. 0.78

00:31:21.000 Now, this is supposed to be an unfettered evil, right?

00:31:24.000 Is an unfettered evil that, oh my God, women and men, they might start treating each other as something other than a sexual object. 0.78

00:31:31.000 That's terrible.

00:31:32.000 That's just awful and terrible.

00:31:34.000 Madeline V might be done with men altogether. 1.00

00:31:36.000 The 24-year-old marketing assistant who identifies as bisexual, Madeline, who asked that Insider use only her first name, has decided that sticking to female partners may be the safest sexual route these days.

00:31:46.000 That's an interesting way to make your sexual decisions.

00:31:48.000 I want to be as promiscuous as I want, so I need to find a partner who is incapable of creating children naturally with me. 0.76

00:31:55.000 It's not fear of men exactly that has inspired this young woman to consider swearing off an entire gender.

00:32:00.000 It's the heightened fear of an unwanted pregnancy and a subsequent lack of options that has forced Madeline to proceed with sexual caution in the wake of Friday's Supreme Court decision gutting federal abortion rights protections. 0.68

00:32:10.000 Adeline T., a 17-year-old high school student in Houston, Texas area, told Insider she was genuinely terrified when she found out Roe might be overturned.

00:32:18.000 Adeline, whose identity is known by the Insider, asked that her name not be used.

00:32:21.000 Her conservative home state certainly plays a role in that fear.

00:32:25.000 Surprisingly enough, I've actually had dreams where I'm pregnant, and I can't find a way to take care of myself, Adeline said, later correcting herself, saying the visions were more akin to nightmares.

00:32:32.000 The bad dreams are new, only taking hold in her mind since the decision was leaked.

00:32:36.000 These nightmares could be a reality, Adeline said.

00:32:39.000 Catherine Dee, a 19-year-old college student whose identity is known by Insider, said she was initially shocked when she learned about the leaked opinion.

00:32:45.000 When she stepped back and thought about it objectively, the decision became less surprising as she considered the Supreme Court's Supreme Court's Gender, Race, and Age Makeup.

00:32:52.000 They're not personally affected by it.

00:32:54.000 Earlier this month, Insider published several social media callouts requesting reactions, responses, and replies from members of Gen Z regarding their thoughts on hookup culture and sex in a possible post-rule world.

00:33:04.000 Dozens of people shared their insights.

00:33:06.000 Some bemoaned a constant fear of getting pregnant.

00:33:09.000 Others described shattered views of child rearing in a world plagued by climate change, COVID-19, and attacks on women's reproductive rights.

00:33:15.000 I love this.

00:33:16.000 It's immoral to have a kid because of COVID-19 and climate change. 0.52

00:33:20.000 Also, it's really, really moral for me to bang around with whoever I want and treat people as just pure sexual objects for pleasure.

00:33:28.000 Respondees offered a list of colorful words to describe their emotions around the draft decision.

00:33:33.000 Angry, upset, disgust, and dredge, you've among them.

00:33:36.000 The majority of young people who participated in the discussion said they were pro-choice and expressed anger at the possibility the highest court in the land could soon overturn a person's right to choose, anecdotally confirming national statistics on the topic.

00:33:48.000 Gen Z is sexually and racially and ethnically diverse.

00:33:53.000 They are more likely than previous generations to support the protection of LGBT rights.

00:33:57.000 And they are the queerest generation on record, one in six American Gen Z members identifying as LGBT.

00:34:01.000 All of these factors have inevitably affected the attitudes towards sex of the members of Gen Z Insider spoke to.

00:34:06.000 Members of the generation told Insider they and their peers approach sexual relationships and intimacy in an entirely different way than previous generations.

00:34:13.000 Gen Z is one of the most open about sex and hookup culture, Adeline said.

00:34:17.000 She told Insider that among her friends, most women are entirely supportive of other women's sexual decisions, whether they are sexually active or celibate.

00:34:25.000 Many of the people Insider spoke to said they've noticed their generational peers becoming more politically active in recent years, but Gen Z's progressive attitudes and go-get-em advocacy can sometimes feel like an unfair expectation on the youngest generation.

00:34:36.000 While Gen Z's feelings about abortion are fairly analogous, per our polling, the responses Insider received in regards to living post-Roe are decidedly more individual.

00:34:45.000 Ever since the draft decision was leaked, Adeline said she's been having to rethink whether or not she wants to start having sex.

00:34:51.000 Telling insiders she's terrified to make a choice that could leave her with an unwanted child.

00:34:54.000 Oh my god.

00:34:54.000 Teenagers might be more sexually responsible?

00:34:56.000 That's crazy.

00:34:57.000 We can't have that.

00:34:57.000 That's terrible.

00:34:58.000 That'd be bad.

00:35:01.000 Catherine D. was already participating in hookup culture before the Supreme Court decision dropped. 1.00

00:35:06.000 Being on birth control is not an option due to the way it negatively affects her physical and mental health, Catherine said, so she's been left to re-evaluate the consequences of casual sex that have suddenly become very real.

00:35:15.000 As much as I want to have fun in my 20s, what happens to me when the fun stops?

00:35:18.000 What happens to me when I might be in need of an abortion and can't access that?

00:35:22.000 The unknowns have left her feeling like a more reserved version of herself as she contemplates the risks now tied to her body.

00:35:28.000 Again, for the left, biology is an obstacle to true human freedom and equality, and the only solution to that is abortion.

00:35:34.000 The only solution to that is the death of the unborn. 0.98

00:35:37.000 This is the culture, this is the cheer your abortion, celebrate your abortion culture the left is pushing.

00:35:42.000 Again, this is not about the specific policy with regard to abortion.

00:35:44.000 This is about the general perception that people are going to have of the political sides of the aisle.

00:35:50.000 The argument that the left is making Is that abortion is an... The lack of abortion is a radical imposition on the sexual choices of women.

00:36:00.000 Kamala Harris does it to men too. 1.00

00:36:00.000 And of men, right? 1.00

00:36:02.000 And that this is inherently bad.

00:36:03.000 And most Americans, I think, see that sex is something that should be done in the context of a committed relationship where you might raise a child with somebody because historically, sex has led to childbearing.

00:36:16.000 The overthrow of biology, the overthrow of the connection between sex and childbearing, That has not led to a happier world.

00:36:22.000 It has led to a more mentally unstable world.

00:36:24.000 It has led to fluidity of relationships that are very bad for people. 0.99

00:36:28.000 The left got what it wanted in terms of its sexual utopia, and it turns out it's a pretty crappy place. 0.90

00:36:33.000 Look at the mental illness rates among kids. 0.98

00:36:35.000 Look at the mental illness rates among teenagers.

00:36:37.000 Look at the lack of marriage, the lack of childbearing. 0.98

00:36:39.000 Look at the demographic decline of the West.

00:36:41.000 None of this is a good thing.

00:36:45.000 Now, it's a free society, you get to make your own sexual decisions.

00:36:48.000 But the idea that abortion in and of itself is an inherent good, again, not something that is bad or evil and occasionally has to be done.

00:36:55.000 See, the argument that's made by the more popular sort of pro-abortion arguments that are broadly popular are the ones about rape and incest and life of the mother.

00:37:03.000 You know, stuff that's actually controversial on a moral level.

00:37:06.000 But when it comes to the mainstream abortion, which is 99% of abortions, the woman who gets pregnant, doesn't want to be pregnant, gets rid of the baby. 0.97

00:37:13.000 When it comes to that, the shift in the language of the left from this is a thing that is tragic, but sometimes needs to be used, to it's an act of good and we should celebrate it, runs directly in kind with the argument that the true human fulfillment lies in genital pleasure.

00:37:28.000 The Freudian notion that true human happiness lies in genital pleasure beyond all else.

00:37:34.000 And this is why you have the Planned Parenthood CEO saying that this is like imposing slavery.

00:37:38.000 Because in her view, saying to people that you should be responsible about your sexual decisions and keep in mind that you might produce a child for which you will be responsible, this is like slavery.

00:37:45.000 Biology is like slavery. 1.00

00:37:47.000 Being subject to the laws of biology, in which you get pregnant after sex, which is the way, again, of all mammalian species, that this is a form of slavery. 0.63

00:37:57.000 We have seen such extreme laws being introduced in states like Missouri and Louisiana, criminalizing not just telemedicine abortion, but also things like contraception, IUDs, perhaps IVF, and that idea that you couldn't travel across your own state boundary.

00:38:15.000 It's just such a bizarre construct, right?

00:38:18.000 It just obviously harkens back to slavery.

00:38:21.000 So we are incredibly concerned about what might happen and to have the White House and the administration thinking about all of the ways to get care to people is so important.

00:38:31.000 And again, this is part and parcel of the argument.

00:38:31.000 Okay.

00:38:33.000 Biology is some sort of radical imposition. 0.98

00:38:35.000 Dr. Lisa Harris on CNN doing the same thing.

00:38:37.000 The talking point in the Democratic Party now is that pregnancy is an imposition on a woman. 0.66

00:38:42.000 Pregnancy, which is a woman's superpower. 1.00

00:38:44.000 It is literally what all of humankind is dependent upon, is a woman's ability to get pregnant. 1.00

00:38:50.000 That this is somehow a radical imposition of evil upon a woman.

00:38:54.000 And therefore, the real argument is that we should be making is that abortion is safer than giving birth.

00:38:59.000 Which leads to the argument that if you really want to keep women safe, then presumably we should actually just sterilize all the women. 1.00

00:39:04.000 If all you're caring about is women's sexual Freedom. 1.00

00:39:08.000 And all you care about is the health of the woman. 1.00

00:39:12.000 According to this argument.

00:39:13.000 It's not an argument I'm making because it's an evil argument.

00:39:15.000 According to this argument, theoretically, the best thing a woman could do is sterilize herself to keep herself safe. 1.00

00:39:20.000 This is according to Dr. Lisa Harris on CNN.

00:39:23.000 The research shows that abortion is safer than continuing a pregnancy and giving birth. 0.70

00:39:29.000 So simply by more women giving birth, we can expect maternal mortality to rise as much as 21% overall.

00:39:38.000 It won't be felt equally, though, because we have racial disparities in death from pregnancy in this country. 0.95

00:39:44.000 Black women... Pregnancy is immoral. 1.00

00:39:46.000 It kills people. 1.00

00:39:47.000 Pregnancy is unsafe. 1.00

00:39:50.000 That's the argument that this doctor is making on CNN.

00:39:52.000 Pregnancy is unsafe. 1.00

00:39:53.000 It kills women. 1.00

00:39:54.000 It's bad.

00:39:54.000 Pregnancy is an act of bad.

00:39:55.000 Abortion is an act of good. 0.65

00:39:56.000 Pregnancy is an act of bad. 1.00

00:39:58.000 Sexual fluidity and promiscuity is an act of good. 0.95

00:40:00.000 Sexual responsibility is an act of bad.

00:40:02.000 You think that argument is going to play in mainstream America?

00:40:05.000 The Democratic Party has decided to embrace this as the core of their definition of the mystery of human life, as Justice Kennedy might say, in Planned Parenthood versus Casey.

00:40:16.000 The goal of the Democratic Party is to take any sort of call for sexual morality, for responsibility for the next generation, for natural human biology, and to make that effectively illegal in the public sphere.

00:40:29.000 It's not just that the left is in love with abortion as a sacramental object.

00:40:33.000 It is that they really despise religion.

00:40:35.000 This is part of the utopian vision for how we individually seek our complete sexual selves.

00:40:40.000 All of this is really, really counterproductive.

00:40:42.000 You know what else is counterproductive?

00:40:44.000 Not getting your mortgage refinanced if you have a better mortgage option available.

00:40:47.000 The cost of everything is rising right now.

00:40:48.000 I mean everything, especially if there's an interest rate tied to it.

00:40:51.000 Have you seen some of the numbers lately?

00:41:53.000 It'll be a historic night for The Daily Wear.

00:41:55.000 Check out last year's event.

00:41:57.000 It was amazing.

00:42:02.000 We were in the presence of greatness.

00:42:04.000 The energy of having everyone on the same page was amazing.

00:42:07.000 If your family member is still waiting for Fauci to give them permission to leave their house, it might be time to cut that off.

00:42:14.000 I'm actually pretty excited to meet all of them.

00:42:16.000 I love everybody's opinion individually.

00:42:18.000 I don't have a favorite.

00:42:19.000 I like them all.

00:42:20.000 I have found out a way to make football players cry in high school.

00:42:23.000 My high school experience has been a lot.

00:42:26.000 I'm just excited to be here and be surrounded by like-minded people and to just, you know, feel that energy.

00:42:32.000 Who should we remove from office?

00:42:42.000 If they say to half of the country, you can't, that half of the country needs to say, screw you, we will!

00:43:34.000 Eastern.

00:43:35.000 Oh man, we have some big, big announcements and surprises.

00:43:38.000 You're gonna want to tune in.

00:43:39.000 You're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.

00:43:42.000 So, if the left-wing vision is sexual freedom above all, that's the only thing that matters.

00:43:53.000 And again, I'm not saying that we should make sexual activity illegal.

00:43:56.000 I'm saying there are natural consequences to sexual activity, and one of those natural consequences is the possibility of having a kid.

00:44:03.000 I mean, at least when it comes to a man and a woman having sex. 0.97

00:44:07.000 Like a biological man and a woman. 0.82

00:44:08.000 I know the left doesn't know the definition of these words anymore.

00:44:10.000 The left's definition of full-scale human happiness is that, and that means any obstacle, biology, religion, these are all very bad.

00:44:18.000 Okay, so yesterday, there was a case that came down from the Supreme Court, and again, this is a culture war issue where the right is going to win, because most people are not on the side of the left's attempt to bar all religion from public expression in life.

00:44:31.000 So, this decision was a case about a person named Joe Kennedy.

00:44:36.000 Joe Kennedy is a coach.

00:44:37.000 He was a coach in Washington State, I believe.

00:44:40.000 At the Bremerton School District, and he made the unfortunate error of after football games, he would go to the 50 yard line and he would pray.

00:44:48.000 Like, voluntary.

00:44:49.000 He didn't tell any of the students they had to.

00:44:50.000 He didn't tell any of the opposing students they had to.

00:44:52.000 It was not part of the school curriculum.

00:44:53.000 Nothing.

00:44:53.000 It was a personal prayer.

00:44:54.000 Like, while all the other coaches were on the sidelines texting their friends or tweeting or whatever, he would go out to the 50-yard line and he would say a personal prayer.

00:45:00.000 And it turns out, a bunch of students like this.

00:45:02.000 And many of the students would go and they would gather with him and they would pray.

00:45:04.000 From both sides, by the way.

00:45:05.000 People on the opposing team would show up and pray.

00:45:08.000 With him.

00:45:09.000 Demonstrating this was not a school activity.

00:45:11.000 This was another school.

00:45:12.000 He didn't have any authority at the other school.

00:45:13.000 Okay, so.

00:45:14.000 He was fired for this.

00:45:16.000 He said this is a violation of my religious freedom principles.

00:45:16.000 And he sued.

00:45:20.000 The court decided 6-3 it is a violation of religious freedom principles to say that you can be fired for the great crime of uttering a personal prayer in which others join.

00:45:29.000 The opinion by Justice Gorsuch suggests that the direction that Gorsuch is moving, because remember, Gorsuch is the same justice who wrote the ridiculous decision in Bostock that suggested that the Civil Rights Act of 1965 somehow covers transgenderism in Title IX.

00:45:43.000 He suggested that discrimination against women is equivalent to discrimination against transgender women or transgender men, or whatever it may be.

00:45:50.000 It's a really, really bad decision, Bostock.

00:45:53.000 What he's attempting to do, you can see now, is set up the Utah Compromise.

00:45:55.000 The Utah Compromise is the state of legislation in Utah whereby they have a very, very highly rigid anti-discrimination law that includes things like sexual orientation and gender identity, but huge carve-outs for religious freedom.

00:46:07.000 That seems to be what Gorsuch is setting up here.

00:46:10.000 But here's what Gorsuch writes about the expression of religion in public.

00:46:14.000 He said, both the free exercise and the free speech clauses of the First Amendment protect expressions like Mr. Kennedy's.

00:46:19.000 Nor does a proper understanding of the Amendment's Establishment Clause, right, that's the clause saying you can't establish a religion, require the government to single out private religious speech for special disfavor.

00:46:27.000 The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression for religious and non-religious views alike.

00:46:33.000 What the left likes to do with the First Amendment and the freedom of religion is they like to read it in direct opposition to the Establishment Clause.

00:46:39.000 Okay, so what the First Amendment to the United States Constitution says about religion is that you can't establish a religion and also you can't prohibit the free exercise thereof.

00:46:48.000 These are meant to be read in tandem.

00:46:50.000 The idea was that if you establish, say, Catholicism as the official religion of a state, what you are doing is prohibiting the free exercise of other people's religion.

00:46:57.000 The Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause are not read in opposition.

00:47:01.000 It's not that the government can't establish a religion and also has to guarantee free exercise.

00:47:05.000 It's that by preventing the establishment, you are guaranteeing free exercise.

00:47:11.000 That's what it means.

00:47:12.000 So what the left has said is, this means that free exercise really doesn't matter and the only thing that matters is that the government is not allowed to allow you to do things that are religious in public spaces.

00:47:23.000 That would be establishment.

00:47:24.000 If the government allows you to do a religious thing in a public space, this is now establishment. 0.85

00:47:28.000 So, says Gorsuch, in truth there is no conflict between the constitutional commands before us.

00:47:33.000 There's only the mere shadow of a conflict, a false choice premised on a misconstruction of the Establishment Clause.

00:47:36.000 Okay, so Sotomayor's dissent.

00:47:38.000 Antonio Sotomayor writes for the liberals.

00:47:39.000 And what she says is that any public expression of religion on public grounds could be a violation of the Establishment Clause and therefore ought to be barred by the government and might get you fired.

00:47:50.000 And so what she says, this is a direct quote, she says, while the court reaffirms that the establishment clause prohibits the government from coercing participation in religious exercise, it applies a nearly toothless version of the coercion analysis, failing to acknowledge the unique pressures faced by students when participating in school sponsored activities.

00:48:05.000 This decision does a disservice to schools and the young students they serve, as well as to our nation's longstanding commitment to the separation of church and state.

00:48:12.000 So what she is saying is that if a person prays in a public context, this is a form of coercion.

00:48:16.000 Just like biology is a form of coercion, it turns out that me practicing my religion without forcing you to do anything is a form of coercion.

00:48:22.000 Because the left has a belief system, and that belief system is that the systems of power that are embedded in the world all around us define us.

00:48:29.000 And if we got rid of all those things, we would be perfectly free to do what we want.

00:48:33.000 And that means we must forcibly disestablish religion. 0.96

00:48:37.000 Not prevent the establishment of, forcibly disestablish it.

00:48:40.000 You must never encounter religion in your daily life. 0.93

00:48:42.000 You might then run up against the reality of an idea you don't like, and that would inhibit you in deep and abiding ways.

00:48:50.000 And that would be a real net negative.

00:48:51.000 That would be a real problem.

00:48:53.000 Again, this is a major issue inside the feminist movement. 1.00

00:48:57.000 It's been a major issue inside the feminist movement for years. 1.00

00:49:00.000 One of the big ideas of the feminist movement, in fact, is the idea that the reason that women act the way they do is because of cultural indoctrination. 1.00

00:49:08.000 Right, so this is why Simone de Boivier was writing in The Second Sex in 1949.

00:49:12.000 Everything helps to confirm this hierarchy in the eyes of the little girl.

00:49:14.000 The historical and literary culture to which she belongs, the songs and legends with which she is lulled to sleep, are one long exaltation of man.

00:49:20.000 Children's books, mythology stories, tales, all reflect the myths born of the pride and desires of men.

00:49:25.000 Thus, it is that through the eyes of men, the little girl discovers the world and reads therein her destiny.

00:49:32.000 So the argument of the left is always that all of the institutions are biased in favor of things like, for example, marriage or child rearing.

00:49:38.000 And if we just blow up the institutions, then we can all truly be free to be who we want.

00:49:42.000 And that will be the new magic utopia.

00:49:45.000 That's the vision of the left, and it's being spelled out fully by Sonia Sotomayor in that dissent, in the religious freedom case.

00:49:50.000 So, you have two contrasting visions.

00:49:52.000 Contrasting vision number one, we have a system in which sexual responsibility is taught and forwarded.

00:49:58.000 We have a system in which marriage is seen as an actual good.

00:50:00.000 We have a system in which we try to protect the lives of the unborn because that, in fact, is our future.

00:50:04.000 We have a system in which we don't establish religion, but public practice of religion is a good thing, and treated as a good thing.

00:50:10.000 And then on the other side, we have an idea that your private sexual activity is made public.

00:50:14.000 Everyone is forced to celebrate that private sexual activity.

00:50:17.000 We are supposed to treat the killing of the unborn as a fundamental right that guarantees you the ability to lead your sexually fluid lifestyle as far as you wish. 0.92

00:50:25.000 And we're going to indoctrinate your children in these principles.

00:50:28.000 Which one of those directions do you think the United States is likely to take?

00:50:32.000 Which direction do you think the United States is likely to take?

00:50:35.000 And you're starting to see this come out in the actual policy that's being pursued by the Democratic Party.

00:50:39.000 Now, the Democratic Party does not have a lot of options when it comes to actual abortion policy at this point, because again, the federal government is no longer in the abortion business.

00:50:48.000 The Supreme Court of the United States effectively just delegated this thing back to the states.

00:50:52.000 But Democrats have to say something to their constituents about why if you elect more Democratic senators, then magically they'll be able to put Roe back in place.

00:50:59.000 And so they've been struggling to come up with some sort of solution.

00:51:03.000 And they're not really coming up with much.

00:51:05.000 Joe Biden apparently, so here are his sort of minor solutions.

00:51:08.000 One, He's going to allow federal employees to use sick leave to get abortion now. 0.73

00:51:14.000 According to LifeNews.com, without actually mentioning the word abortion, the Biden administration swiftly created a new pro-abortion benefit for federal employees.

00:51:21.000 Bloomberg reports the U.S.

00:51:22.000 Office of Personnel Management published a document on Monday stating that federal employees now may use sick days if they or one of their family members needs to travel for quote-unquote medical care.

00:51:30.000 By medical care, they mean abortion.

00:51:31.000 The document does not mention abortion, but the Biden administration believes killing unborn babies and abortion is medical care.

00:51:37.000 The document states that federal employees who find it necessary to travel longer distances, including out of state to obtain medical care, are allowed to use sick days.

00:51:44.000 If the leave is less than three days, the employee doesn't need to give a reason to their supervisor.

00:51:47.000 If it's longer, the doctor's excuse, quote, need not contain details regarding the medical examination or treatment.

00:51:53.000 So obviously, this is the federal government now in the business of effectively using your taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortions.

00:51:58.000 Because that is what it is.

00:52:00.000 I mean, that seems like a basic violation of the Hyde Amendment.

00:52:03.000 Because if you're paying for somebody's sick day and the sick day is being used to do an abortion, that would be subsidization of abortion. 0.98

00:52:10.000 The federal government using your taxpayer dollars to pay somebody to go get an abortion. 1.00

00:52:14.000 That's what Joe Biden wants.

00:52:15.000 Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren is out there saying, what if we set up abortion clinics in national parks? 0.95

00:52:19.000 I'm not kidding. 0.87

00:52:21.000 She now wants to use federal dollars, not just to subsidize abortions, but it'll be like you drive into Yellowstone, and there's a Planned Parenthood to kill your baby. 1.00

00:52:27.000 So drop your kids off at daycare, and then the one that's still in your uterus, just leave it at Yellowstone. 0.91

00:52:33.000 She says, they could put up tents, have trained personnel, and be there to help people who need it.

00:52:38.000 It's time to declare a medical emergency.

00:52:42.000 Their solution is tents in national parks for abortion.

00:52:46.000 That's how much they love abortion. 0.89

00:52:47.000 We're gonna turn Yosemite into an abortion clinic. 1.00

00:52:52.000 Well, for her part, Kamala Harris was asked about whether abortion services would now be available on Feral Lynch. 0.95

00:52:56.000 She's like, yeah, we can't, like, no.

00:52:58.000 Like, under what rubric could we even... When Kamala Harris is saying no to things, you know it's pretty radical. 0.99

00:53:03.000 Can the administration expand abortion access or abortion services on federal land?

00:53:11.000 Meaning, provide the access on federal land that might be in and around states that ban abortion?

00:53:20.000 I think that what is most important right now is that we ensure that the restrictions that the states are trying to put up that would prohibit a woman from exercising what we still maintain is her right, that we do everything we can to empower women to Not only seek, but to receive the care where it is available.

00:53:40.000 Is federal land one of those options?

00:53:43.000 I mean, it's not right now what we are discussing.

00:53:45.000 So what are they discussing?

00:53:46.000 They're discussing the possibility of sending travel vouchers to women who want an abortion.

00:53:49.000 So again, the Hyde Amendment says that the federal government will not spend taxpayer dollars to subsidize abortion.

00:53:54.000 This has been a longstanding part of bipartisan American policy going back to the 90s.

00:53:58.000 And now she's basically talking about just trashing it.

00:54:00.000 She says, we're going to send travel vouchers for abortion.

00:54:02.000 So you can go to Abortion Disneyland over in California. 0.84

00:54:05.000 Women who have access to resources will probably be far less Impacted by this decision than women who don't have resources. 0.94

00:54:13.000 So this is something that we are looking at because we know, for example, in terms of how this is going to actually impact real people, over half of women who receive abortions in America are moms.

00:54:25.000 It means that they may have to put up money for a train or a bus or a plane, much less a hotel.

00:54:31.000 And so we want to make sure that there does not result extreme disparities or any disparities based on who can receive So you, the American taxpayer, you know, you paid for your family, you're paying for public education, you're paying for welfare, you're paying for everything else.

00:54:47.000 You're not going to pay for some woman who got pregnant to travel out of state to get an abortion. 1.00

00:54:52.000 I hope that in a time of recession that you're up for this challenge.

00:54:56.000 The HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, who again has no record in health, and it's amazing.

00:55:01.000 I mean, they literally just took a guy who was like the AG of California doing a crap job.

00:55:05.000 What if we just made him HHS Secretary?

00:55:07.000 Xavier Becerra, he says the same thing.

00:55:08.000 He says we're going to actually use federal taxpayer dollars and pay people to go out of state for abortions.

00:55:13.000 We are looking into everything including assisting in transportation, something that HHS doesn't typically do.

00:55:19.000 Can you do that legally?

00:55:21.000 Talk to me later.

00:55:22.000 We're going to do...

00:55:23.000 I mean, that's a big question, right?

00:55:25.000 I always tell my team at HHS, if you've done your homework, then we have no right to do mild.

00:55:32.000 And so we're going to be aggressive and go all the way.

00:55:35.000 And I would tell you if you're recording, so I won't tell you.

00:55:39.000 This is all on the record, Mr. Secretary.

00:55:43.000 We are looking at every option, and among those is transportation.

00:55:46.000 There are other options, too.

00:55:47.000 So, how many of your taxpayer dollars can they spend on abortion? 0.85

00:55:50.000 Listen, the culture of sexual license must be preserved at all costs.

00:55:56.000 That is what America is all about.

00:55:57.000 Nancy Pelosi literally said that.

00:55:59.000 She went on Drag Queen's show with RuPaul.

00:56:03.000 And said that that's what America is all about.

00:56:04.000 So if that's the party that you wish to vote for, really go for it.

00:56:07.000 Nancy Pelosi says we should kill the filibuster in order to get all of these things done. 1.00

00:56:10.000 So remember, the party that is very much in favor of democratic institutions and historic institutions, and they're very angry at Donald Trump because he attacked institutions.

00:56:17.000 They want to tear down the Supreme Court, abolish the Senate, get rid of the filibuster, and, you know, maybe just take over all policy at the regulatory level.

00:56:26.000 So she said that she wants to kill the filibuster. 1.00

00:56:29.000 She listed bullet points outlining the goals of legislation she will introduce, including having personal data stored in reproductive health apps, clarifying that Americans have a constitutional right to travel freely across the country.

00:56:39.000 I mean, first of all, that const- I mean, Justice Kavanaugh says that.

00:56:43.000 In his concurrence.

00:56:45.000 In Dobbs.

00:56:46.000 So thank you, Nancy Pelosi.

00:56:48.000 And then she wants to pass the Women's Health Protection Act, which would enshrine Roe vs. Wade into the law of the land. 1.00

00:56:52.000 You don't actually have the power to do that.

00:56:54.000 Women's Health Protection Act is wildly unconstitutional.

00:56:56.000 There's no basis for enshrining Roe at the congressional level.

00:57:00.000 And then she said that we should get rid of the filibuster in order to make all of this stuff happening. 0.99

00:57:05.000 She said, quote, we need to eliminate the filibuster so that we can restore women's fundamental rights and freedom for every American. 1.00

00:57:12.000 These are fans of the institutions, folks.

00:57:14.000 These are the people that you ought to trust with the institutions.

00:57:17.000 I mean, honestly, I'm not too surprised by Nancy Pelosi, considering that when she's not in favor of killing unborn children, she's also just elbowing them out of the way. 0.90

00:57:24.000 She was present at the swearing in of Maya Flores, who is the new congresswoman, first Mexican-American congresswoman from Texas, Republican.

00:57:32.000 And Flores' kids were there.

00:57:35.000 And Nancy Pelosi doesn't like to be too close to the kids. 1.00

00:57:38.000 I mean, that's not, you know, kids are uncomfortable.

00:57:40.000 She doesn't like it too much.

00:57:41.000 So the kids are trying to get in on the picture.

00:57:43.000 Nancy's like, well, what if I just... She takes that elbow and pushes them out of the way. 1.00

00:57:50.000 I'm gonna need you to move away, small child. 0.80

00:57:53.000 I'm gonna need you to please move away from me.

00:57:54.000 There's that elbow.

00:57:55.000 And then we got the slow-mo.

00:57:56.000 Let's put it in slow-mo.

00:57:57.000 Run that back. 0.96

00:57:58.000 Monday Night Football.

00:58:00.000 Oh! 0.60

00:58:01.000 There it is.

00:58:02.000 Yep.

00:58:03.000 I'm gonna need you to move away, small child. 0.80

00:58:06.000 I'm gonna need you to please move away from me.

00:58:09.000 I love children.

00:58:10.000 To eat!

00:58:12.000 Ha ha ha!

00:58:16.000 So here's the thing.

00:58:19.000 The basic premise that the media are now pushing is that what people care most about is the level of legislation in a given state with regard to abortion or at the federal level with regard to abortion.

00:58:31.000 That is not how people vote.

00:58:32.000 The way that people vote is they have a generalized perception of the people whom they are voting for or against.

00:58:37.000 If they had voted based on policy in 2020, Joe Biden would not be president right now.

00:58:41.000 They voted for Joe Biden because they didn't like Donald Trump's personality and they had a certain perception of how he was running the government.

00:58:47.000 The same thing is going to happen in 2022.

00:58:48.000 The Democratic Party has wed itself.

00:58:51.000 It's a completely anti- Life Party in the sense that there's, I think there may be one congressperson in the entire Democratic Party and in the House of Representatives who counts himself pro-life.

00:59:03.000 Maybe two.

00:59:04.000 Okay, they've decided to move radically in one direction socially.

00:59:08.000 And those culture wars that they thought were their winning ticket, they thought that those culture wars were a winning ticket.

00:59:12.000 And the establishment Republican Party thought for years it was the winning ticket too.

00:59:15.000 You weren't supposed to talk about these issues.

00:59:16.000 You were supposed to put them, you know, force them into the closet.

00:59:19.000 Never talk about it.

00:59:20.000 Never talk about same-sex marriage.

00:59:21.000 Never talk about indoctrination of kids.

00:59:23.000 Never talk about abortion.

00:59:24.000 That's alienating to the suburban women. 1.00

00:59:27.000 Well, now that the Democrats have decided that they can fly their flag with regard to what they believe the good life looks like, it turns out not a lot of people are on that particular side of the aisle.

00:59:39.000 So they can push this as hard as they want.

00:59:41.000 But notice that the language that they are using is not with regard to rational and reasonable abortion legislation.

00:59:47.000 In quotation marks, right?

00:59:48.000 The kind of consensus legislation that would be widely popular in the United States.

00:59:51.000 They're not talking about that.

00:59:53.000 They're talking about the kind of life that people should lead and the kind of life they think people should lead.

00:59:57.000 is promiscuous people who redefine their gender at every available turn living by themselves with a small dog in an apartment in New York City.

01:00:05.000 That is what the happy life looks like.

01:00:08.000 Well, good luck to you if that's what you believe that most Americans believe.

01:00:12.000 That is going to be a large scandal.

01:00:14.000 Democrats ought to move away from this as fast as humanly possible if they wish to retain any shred of credibility with the vast majority of Americans who don't think that that is what utopia looks like, particularly.

01:00:22.000 All right, we'll be back here later today with more content.
