The ACLU honors the anniversary of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by erasing women. Plus, Kim Kardashian is leading the charge to free another murderer, and Vice publishes an article claiming that natural immunity doesn t exist at all. We will discuss all of that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the ACLU honors the anniversary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by erasing women.
00:00:05.840Also, Whipgate enters its fourth day with the Democrats and media sticking to the false narrative,
00:00:10.120no matter how many times it's been debunked.
00:00:12.280And several late-night hosts all teamed up last night to bring our attention to the alleged climate crisis.
00:00:18.340It was hilarious comedy, as always, from that group.
00:00:20.480Plus, Kim Kardashian is leading the charge to free another murderer from prison.
00:00:24.580And Vice publishes an article claiming that natural immunity doesn't exist at all.
00:00:28.800But isn't that medical misinformation?
00:00:31.420We will discuss all of that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:42.720You know, there are little things that can happen sometimes which, though seemingly insignificant on their own,
00:00:47.860still so perfectly exemplify a larger issue that they're worth more attention than we might otherwise tend to afford them.
00:00:54.320That, I think, is the case with this recent tweet from the ACLU.
00:00:58.560Now, as you may know, there was a time many moons ago when the American Civil Liberties Union concerned itself with defending civil liberties.
00:01:07.320It was once so committed to the First Amendment that it defended the speech and assembly rights of the KKK and Nazis.
00:01:14.120That's when it took the C and L part of the name seriously.
00:01:17.160But those days have been over for a long time.
00:01:19.700Now the C and L may as well stand for, you know, communist lunatics or crazy leftists or whatever you want to put in there.
00:01:25.260They are nothing but a group of far left agitators at this point, often positioning themselves further out on the leftist fringe than even the most fringe leftists have.
00:01:37.100And that brings us to the tweet posted in honor of the anniversary of RBG's death a few days ago.
00:01:43.740Now, in the caption, they write, with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death, we lost a champion for abortion and gender equality.
00:01:50.820And on the anniversary of her death, the fight to protect abortion access is more urgent than ever.
00:02:24.240I mean, we're leaving aside for now the problems with the original quote itself.
00:02:28.300Of course, a woman makes the decision to potentially bear a child when she engages in the sexual act.
00:02:35.420The sexual act is the reproductive act.
00:02:37.880So even if you don't intend to reproduce, you're still engaging in the reproductive act, which can have that consequence and has had that consequence literally billions of times in human history.
00:02:48.740Once conception occurs, whether she intended it or not, she is now bearing a child.
00:02:54.060She cannot preserve her dignity by going to the abortionist and paying hundreds of dollars to have that baby killed.
00:02:59.760And in fact, by expecting a mother to care for her children rather than murder them, we are indeed treating her like a fully adult human.
00:03:10.000You treat a woman as less than an adult and even less than human when you propose that she may need to murder her own kids for the sake of her own well-being.
00:03:20.400The point is, there are many problems with the quote from RBG, but the quote is the quote.
00:03:28.060I could disagree with what she said, but I can't change the fact that she said it.
00:03:32.700On that point, the ACLU begs to differ.
00:03:37.080In their version of the quote posted to Twitter, in honor of RBG and to commemorate the anniversary of her death, the organization gives us this.
00:03:46.840The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a person's life, to their well-being and dignity.
00:03:52.600When the government controls that decision for people, they are being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for their own choices.
00:04:01.820Yes, the ACLU removed the word woman from Ruth Bader Ginsburg's quote about women.
00:04:09.400That's, it's hard to know where to begin in surveying all the problems with a move like this.
00:04:15.460So let's just start with a basic point about quotes.
00:04:19.460Namely, that this is not how quotes work.
00:04:22.600You cannot alter the words in a quote to change the meaning or update the content.
00:04:28.180The ACLU takes woman and her and they take that out and they sub in people and they and they put that in brackets.
00:04:35.520Okay, but you don't get away with it by putting in brackets because that's not how brackets work either.
00:04:40.520Brackets are used to clarify someone's meaning or to add necessary details.
00:04:44.120For example, if I were to say, just as an example, Lamar Jackson is a better playmaker than Patrick Mahomes.
00:04:52.620You could repeat that quote accurately and validly by saying, Matt Walsh said, quote, brackets, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is a better playmaker than, brackets, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
00:05:04.420That would clarify my meaning and provide necessary information to people who may not be familiar with the names that I used.
00:05:09.940You're adding words in, but in a clarifying way.
00:05:12.820But if you objected to the content of my statement, it would not be valid to say, Matt Walsh said, quote, Lamar Jackson is, brackets, not a better playmaker than Patrick Mahomes.
00:05:23.320That may be what you think I ought to have said, but it's not what I said.
00:05:26.160So it would not be true to say that I said it.
00:05:35.000The greater point is that the ACLU has just perfectly demonstrated how left-wing gender theory totally undermines and negates the feminist argument for women's rights.
00:05:45.820After all, you can't have women's rights if you don't have women.
00:05:48.120The irony is that in their caption of the altered quote, they credit RBG with advancing gender equality, and then they proceed in the very next step to erase gender entirely.
00:05:59.240Just imagine for a second how every standard feminist talking point will sound once you sub the words people or person for women or woman.
