00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Walsh Show, feverish, paranoid leftists continue to insist that conservatives want to take away their birth control.
00:00:07.340Where did they get that crazy idea from?
00:00:09.260Also, the Victoria's Secret fashion show is in trouble for not including men.
00:00:14.000Finally, another Fox News personality is chased out of a restaurant.
00:00:17.300I have a couple points to make about that as well.
00:00:19.320The website Mike.com has has a very important article up right now about how Victoria's Secret has normalized discrimination.
00:00:31.780And I mean, obviously, when you think Victoria's Secret, you think normalization of discrimination.
00:00:37.480Who doesn't? Now, according to Mike's Twitter account, it says that their Twitter account says since its first show in 1995,
00:00:45.160no plus size out transgender or gender nonconforming people have walked the Victoria's Secret runway ever.
00:00:54.320This is not a parody of no, this is a real this is a real thing that liberals are upset about now.
00:00:59.600And, you know, saying that there's never been there's never been any men or obese people walking down the Victoria's Secret runway.
00:01:08.400That's a bit like saying, well, since the first monster truck race in 1972, no unicycles or scooters have competed ever.
00:01:18.460Whatever you think of Victoria's Secret fashion show, the whole point of the thing is for these skinny, attractive women to model underwear.
00:01:28.560So that's that's that's just why it exists.
00:01:31.340If you're looking for a show where men model underwear, as Mike.com apparently is, then you can find that.
00:01:39.980I mean, I'm sure there are places you can go and you can find that sort of entertainment if you want.
00:01:46.400But but but but it's just that's not what Victoria's Secret is all about.
00:01:49.480See, this is the thing about about the left.
00:01:52.900If you notice, nothing is ever allowed to be about anything or for anything anymore.
00:02:01.040Have you noticed that this is kind of the consequence of this obsession with fairness and diversity and inclusiveness, because because I'm just trying to think of a way to explain this.
00:02:13.500OK, to anyone who's a liberal and doesn't understand everything, OK, everything in order to be a thing, in order to have a purpose and an identity and a reason to exist, everything must be a certain thing and therefore must exclude all of the things that it is not.
00:02:36.040OK, so for a thing to be a thing, it must not be the things that it isn't.
00:03:18.620And that's what the left is doing all over the place.
00:03:20.860They're erasing all lines, all distinctions, all definitions.
00:03:24.840And thereby, they're just erasing everything.
00:03:28.440The sacrament of marriage is another example of this phenomenon, probably a much better example, actually, than the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
00:03:36.180But that has been the entire argument with marriage.
00:03:40.100It's, you know, marriage is a certain thing.
00:03:42.120If you make marriage into anything, then marriage no longer exists.
00:03:47.800It has to be a specific thing, which means it must exclude the things that it isn't.
00:03:51.720Um, and it's just the liberals, um, not that I'm trying to really draw a comparison between the Victoria's Secret fashion show and marriage.
00:03:59.180I'm, you know, I'm just saying these are examples.
00:04:02.460And there are so many of the left looking at a particular thing and saying, well, no, that's not right, because it excludes all the things that it isn't.
00:04:22.920Uh, I, hopefully you did, but it, it was yesterday was thank you, birth control day.
00:04:27.020It was a day for people, people on the left, mostly to stand up for their right to use birth control.
00:04:33.140And, um, and so on social media, especially on Twitter, people were spending the day tweeting about the wonders of birth control, about, uh, uh, how much they need it, how much it has liberated them, how much they love it, uh, how they'll never let anyone take it away from them.
00:04:49.100I want to give you a quick sample of some of the tweets on the thanks birth control hashtag.
00:04:54.120Um, just to give you an idea of what people were saying.
00:04:56.780The first one is from Hillary Clinton.
00:04:58.700She says reproductive rights are human rights.
00:05:01.360Women's freedom to decide whether and when to have children is core to their liberty as human beings.
00:05:07.220Today, we celebrate the power to decide.
00:05:10.420Someone else says, thanks birth control for allowing my husband and I to plan our family.
00:05:13.680According to our financial and emotional ability, we both believe it would be a disservice to our family to have children.
00:05:18.240We cannot comfortably afford, uh, thanks birth control for helping women achieve their goals without putting their economic security in jeopardy.
00:05:24.780Planned Parenthood says, your body is your own, and if not, you can't be truly equal or free.
00:05:31.120Access to birth control is vital for people to live full, healthy lives and plan their future.
00:05:36.540Uh, a couple, uh, some, some Democrat politicians jumped in on the act.
00:05:39.860A woman's, a woman's right to control her reproductive future is critical to her participation in all aspects of society.
00:05:46.440From our economy to our democracy, we must continue to protect that right and stand up for reproductive health care.
00:07:28.500Um, liberals will valiantly defend their right to use birth control while literally no one disputes that right.
00:07:37.680They insist that no one will take away their birth control while literally no one is trying to take it away.
00:07:44.380There was an article in the Daily Beast yesterday that, uh, or, well, it was an article that was, that was written a year ago.
00:07:51.000And, and, which was retweeted by the Daily Beast yesterday, and I'm surprised they retweeted it because they should be embarrassed by it because the, the, the title of the article was, here's how we're going to lose our birth control under Trump.
00:08:06.960Um, has anyone lost their birth control under Trump?
00:08:10.160Can you find me one single woman in the United States who is now entirely unable to obtain birth control because of Donald Trump?
00:08:17.440I, I mean, did this prophecy come to fruition?
00:08:23.340In fact, we've had a Republican government for two years.
00:08:25.800Have they, have they stolen birth control from anybody?
00:08:28.460Have they sent the birth control, um, you know, enforcement agency into, raiding into people's homes, into their medicine cabinets to steal their birth control pills?
00:08:39.400Look, if that's been happening, I will, I will change my tune.
00:08:43.820I will apologize for all the, all the mockery right now that I'm engaging in, if that is actually happening.
00:08:49.180If there are women who have been, who have been, um, scared senseless when, when, when federal agents have burst into their homes to confiscate their birth control, if that's going on, then, you know, forget everything I'm saying.
00:09:24.220What, what is this, this, this clamoring about birth control and how important birth control is and how they're not going to let anyone take away their birth control?
00:09:33.020Well, it's about, it's about a couple of things.
00:09:35.880We realized, first of all, that when they say that conservatives want to ban or get rid of or take away their birth control, what they really mean is that conservatives don't want to pay for their birth control.
00:09:50.640This is a conflation that, that, uh, people on the left engage in quite a bit where they conflate, um, you know, us not wanting to pay for something with us trying to take that thing away.
00:10:34.580Um, so I, you know, liberals pretend that they don't understand this distinction.
00:10:39.180I, I, I think they must understand it.
00:10:41.520Like they must understand that if they came to me and said, Hey, uh, I want to go to the movies and can you, can you give me $25 to pay for a couple of movie tickets?
00:10:53.360And if I say, no, I'm not going to pay for your movie ticket, it wouldn't make any sense for them to say, why are you trying to stop me from going to the movies?
00:12:47.400And not that this even matters, but it should be repeated that you don't even need someone to pay for your birth control because birth control is extremely easy to obtain.
00:13:02.540You can go to any, I mean, you can get free birth control.
00:13:09.140You can, I mean, there's birth control everywhere in our society.
00:13:12.920Birth control is practically raining from the sky.
00:13:16.100I mean, or, or do you need it to literally rain from the sky before you'll admit that it, that it's plenty easy to obtain?
00:13:25.260Because it, it, I would say it all but rains from the sky right now, because you, you can go, unless you live in the desert or something, unless you live in the desert and you don't have a car.
00:13:35.100And it's a, and it's a, it's a 900 mile walk through the desert sands to get to your, your nearest Walmart.
00:13:41.840Assuming you don't live in that situation, assuming you live just in society with the rest of us, you can go anywhere and get birth control.
00:13:50.600You know, people on the left will often make fun of, make fun of conservatives claiming that we're always clinging to our guns and insisting that nobody will take our guns away, even though they say nobody is threatening to take our guns away.
00:14:08.940Except that in that case, people actually do want to ban guns and restrict guns and confiscate guns and prevent people from buying guns and so on and so forth.
00:14:20.740That is a, that is most certainly a position that is held by many people on the left.
00:14:27.760Meanwhile, nobody on the right holds the position that birth control should be banned.
00:14:36.300Nobody holds, you would have to go back many years to get to a time where banning birth control was a proposal supported by any significant number of people.
00:14:47.500But we have, we have just, that has not been the case for a very long time.
00:14:55.300Well, we know it's, as I said, we know it's partly about the, you know, this conflation of, I have a right to it, therefore I have a right for you to pay for it.
00:15:24.200But if they can convince people of it, it's, it's obviously very convenient.
00:15:29.980It's a great way to get people mobile.
00:15:31.840I mean, I mean, if you're a liberal politician and you can actually convince your voters that Republicans are trying to steal their birth control, you're, you know, if you can convince your voters of that, then clearly that's going to be a great way to mobilize them.
00:15:46.840And, and they have been able, somehow they've been able to convince their voters of that.
00:15:52.340And all I would say to those voters is, you know, you have Google, you have the internet, just go, just go, go Google this sometime to see how many Republicans have actually proposed banning birth control.
00:16:03.220And what you'll find is that none of them have.
