The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 975 - Is Sanity Making A Comeback？

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, conservatives celebrate as the Women's Swimming Federation

00:00:03.840 officially disqualifies men like Leah Thomas from competition in the future. Does this mark

00:00:08.380 a return to sanity in our culture? Actually, no, it doesn't, and I'll explain why. Also,

00:00:13.120 the new woke Toy Story film bombs at the box office, and the media is just perplexed by this.

00:00:17.900 The governor of New York not-so-subtly encourages more violence against pro-lifers in the lead-up

00:00:21.740 to the Roe decision. A court declares that elephants are not people. Why was that necessary

00:00:26.100 to establish? And a CNN comedian records a Father's Day PSA pushing abortion. What does

00:00:32.160 that have to do with Father's Day? We'll find out about that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:47.740 Charity Mobile today. I was quite excited this weekend to hear the good news trumpeted by

00:01:53.420 conservatives across social media that reason and sanity had prevailed in women's sports. FINA,

00:01:59.800 which is the International Swimming Federation, has, according to the headlines anyway, banned

00:02:05.580 biological males from competing against women in elite aquatics competitions. The new rules passed

00:02:11.760 down on Sunday mean that Leah Thomas' swimming career is effectively over, tragically. He could,

00:02:17.560 of course, go back to competing against the men, but chances are that he'll now be even less

00:02:21.520 competitive against his male counterparts than he was two years ago before he began his quote-unquote

00:02:26.060 transition. FINA's new guidelines do provide for an open category where, I guess, trans athletes who

00:02:33.300 don't meet the eligibility requirements to swim against women can compete, you know, in the open

00:02:38.880 category. So Thomas can perhaps go there and race against himself where he's sure to once again

00:02:44.020 dominate. But something tells me that he's not going to see that as a sufficient compromise.

00:02:48.300 As noted, most conservatives have been celebrating the news, seeing it as a harbinger of things to

00:02:53.840 come, the beginning of a movement towards sanity. The New York Post headline declares as much, saying,

00:02:59.920 sanity returns to transgender madness after Leah Thomas' ban by FINA. Other headlines and outlets like 0.70

00:03:06.260 The Daily Caller, Breitbart, Outkick echo this same theme. Sanity is making a comeback,

00:03:11.980 we're told. The tide is turning. One battle has now been won. Now we march onward. That's the general

00:03:18.420 feeling, I guess. Which is why it must fall to me, as always, to be the storm cloud raining on

00:03:25.340 everybody's parade. I hate doing it. Actually, I kind of enjoy doing it, but not in this case. I wish I

00:03:30.320 didn't have to. I do, though. The devil, as they say, is in the details. And sometimes that is quite

00:03:36.180 literally the case. And when dealing with the left, you always have to keep this in mind. You always have

00:03:41.680 to dig below the surface to understand what's really going on. These people did not achieve

00:03:46.440 total cultural dominance by being stupid. So what's happening here? Well, if you go to the 1.00

00:03:53.100 organization's website and you read the new rules for yourself, you'll notice a few things. First,

00:03:57.920 under the Competitive Opportunities Within and Outside of Men's and Women's Categories,

00:04:02.120 header, we're told, quote, male to female transgender athletes, transgender women,

00:04:07.080 and athletes who have a 46XY DSD and a female legal gender and or gender identity are eligible

00:04:13.600 to compete in the women's category in FINA competitions and to set FINA world records in

00:04:18.820 the women's category at FINA competitions and other events recognized by FINA if they meet

00:04:23.820 applicable eligibility conditions. So we see right off the bat, they're not simply banning men from

00:04:30.520 women swimming. There's more to it than that. A lot more to it, it turns out. In fact, the new 1.00

00:04:35.700 guidelines are nearly 8,000 words long. If it was as simple as establishing or rather re-establishing

00:04:42.320 that only females compete against females and males against males, the policy could be described 0.86

00:04:48.120 in like one sentence. But they take considerably more than one sentence because only certain males,

00:04:55.200 it turns out, are banned from competing against females. So what does that mean? Well, the policy

00:05:00.500 explains, quote, male to female transgender athletes, transgender women, and athletes with 46XY DSD

00:05:08.080 whose legal gender and or gender identity is female are eligible to compete in the women's category in 0.97

00:05:13.760 FINA competitions and to set FINA world records in the women's category in FINA competitions and in

00:05:18.020 other events recognized by FINA if they can establish to FINA's comfortable satisfaction that they have

00:05:23.320 not experienced any part of male puberty beyond Tanner stage 2 or before age 12, whichever is later.

00:05:31.100 Specifically, the athlete must produce evidence establishing that they have complete androgen

00:05:36.340 insensitivity and therefore could not experience male puberty, or they are androgen sensitive but had

00:05:41.500 male puberty suppressed beginning at Tanner stage 2 or before age 12, whichever is later, and they have

00:05:47.280 sensed continuously maintained their testosterone levels in serum or plasma below 2.5 NML OLL.

00:05:54.400 Okay, so the problem, says FINA, is not maleness per se, but male puberty. If a male wants to compete

00:06:04.640 against females, he must transition before puberty so to block some of the advantages that maleness would 1.00

00:06:11.100 otherwise afford him. Now, this rule does indeed mean that Leah Thomas is out on his act.

00:06:17.280 Probably means that elite women's swimming will be male-free for the foreseeable future. In fact, 0.98

00:06:23.400 it's hard to imagine anyone who transitions before the age of 12 ever becoming an elite athlete in any

00:06:30.160 sport given the disastrous effects the drugs have on the developing human body. The integrity of women's 0.66

00:06:36.860 swimming has thus been, at least for now, effectively restored. So, why isn't it a big win, like everyone

00:06:44.420 thinks it is? Because the International Swimming Federation is not at all affirming the binary reality of

00:06:53.040 human sex. They are not declaring that there's any inherent problem with categorizing a male as a female.

00:06:59.820 No, they said that they would do that. They're happy to do that. They've declared puberty and

00:07:05.120 testosterone the enemy. According to them, some women happen to have experienced male puberty and

00:07:13.440 those women have an unfair advantage. And so, we make a separate category for them. The solution, 1.00

00:07:19.700 they say, is to block male puberty from ever taking hold in the first place. It shouldn't be difficult to

00:07:25.900 see where this leads. You don't need a crystal ball to see 30 minutes into the future when this

00:07:30.760 will be used as further justification for transitioning children earlier. The International

00:07:37.120 Swimming Federation has said, if you want to participate fully as a woman, you need to become 1.00

00:07:42.460 one much earlier. To the trans activists, that simply means that boys who are supposedly questioning

00:07:48.720 their gender have to be put on the medical path even sooner than they already are. 1.00

00:07:52.920 The rules encourage and validate childhood transitions. Many conservatives, you know, are

00:08:02.460 celebrating this, not thinking about what they're doing. And they're even saying, I've heard from a lot

00:08:07.660 of people, they're hopeful that FINA's policy will become a blueprint for other organizations to

00:08:12.860 follow. Well, I certainly hope that isn't the case because that will be just more fuel for the

00:08:19.500 childhood transition fire. It'll be more fodder for the trans activists. You see, they'll declare, 0.85

00:08:25.860 but we can't afford to wait. If your son likes the color pink and plays with dolls, get him

00:08:30.880 transitioned right away. Otherwise, he'll never be fully accepted as the woman he truly is inside.

00:08:37.440 This is not pure speculation on my part. As you heard on the show just last week, the World

00:08:42.120 Professional Association for Transgender Health lowered their age range guideline, age range guideline,

00:08:46.880 to now recommend drugs and surgery for even younger kids. They now advise surgical sex changes for

00:08:52.160 15-year-old kids. And that age has been dropping precipitously for years. It's only going to continue

00:08:58.100 to drop, helped along by institutions who declare early transition as a prerequisite for full recognition

00:09:04.420 of a person's chosen gender identity. So this is not a win of any kind. Certainly not a win for sanity.

00:09:12.040 A win for sanity would be a rule which simply and clearly declares that only women compete against 1.00

00:09:19.760 women and only men against men. Period. End of discussion. No further explanation needed.

00:09:28.400 Anything beyond that, any additional considerations, any complications added to the mix, any nuances,

00:09:35.700 any caveats, only affirm and reinforce that this is somehow a complicated question. But it isn't.

00:09:46.680 And this is exactly why I've always been uncomfortable with the way that conservatives

00:09:50.920 often argue for fairness in women's sports. Many of them argue for it as though their primary concern 0.96

00:09:57.100 is simply fairness in women's sports. You know, they argue over women's sports as if what they really 1.00

00:10:02.560 care about is just women's sports for its own sake. Like they really care deeply about competitive 0.99

00:10:09.560 women's swimming itself. And their greatest mission in life is to ensure that competitive women's swimming

00:10:14.840 remains fair and equitable. But that's not why I argue for fairness in women's sports. 0.99

00:10:21.520 I argue for it because women's sports is but one battleground in the overall war for truth and reason. 1.00

00:10:27.700 And if you win a battle but you weaken your position in the larger war in the process,

00:10:33.840 you didn't really win anything. And here we won something that looks like fairness in women's 1.00

00:10:39.960 swimming but at the expense of validating and encouraging the further abuse and exploitation of

00:10:44.320 children. Meanwhile, the underlying premise of gender ideology remains fully intact. In fact, 0.78

00:10:50.600 these rules and by extension those celebrating them have reinforced the underlying premise by agreeing

00:10:56.000 that maleness and male puberty are two entirely separate things which can and often should be

00:11:01.500 divorced from one another. This is exactly what happens when you try to cut down a tree by just

00:11:08.860 like cutting away at a few of the branches. You're not really doing any damage to the tree.

00:11:14.740 And in fact, you may be helping it as pruning a tree encourages growth, plant health, flower production

00:11:20.200 in the long run. That's what that's what the right is is unwittingly doing now with gender 0.68

00:11:25.840 ideology. They're just sort of pruning away at it. They're getting it into a better shape.

00:11:33.060 Making it more palatable for people. You know, as long as we have this gender ideology madness in 1.00

00:11:39.800 our culture, as long as it exists, as long as children are being indoctrinated into it,

00:11:47.060 then it's probably for the best that we have the absurd spectacle of men, you know, dominating women's 0.87

00:11:54.520 sports. That forces people to confront it and to see it for the absurdity that it is.

00:12:03.560 It's actually the best thing for the trans activists, whether they'll say this out loud or not,

00:12:08.120 the best thing for them is that those more public displays of the absurdity of their position go

00:12:15.160 away. But the thing itself remains. So if they can more quietly sort of be transitioning quote unquote

00:12:23.280 children, indoctrinating kids into this, but we don't have any more Leah Thomases, that's the best 0.94

00:12:29.660 for them. That's good for them. Now, I say as long as this exists and we're imposing it on children,

00:12:36.760 then there ought to be Leah Thomases. In fact, it doesn't even make any sense. If we're going to,

00:12:43.220 as a society, abandon the difference between men and women, it doesn't make any sense to have the 0.97

00:12:49.160 integrity of women's sports preserved. We don't have a right to women's sports in a society where 1.00

00:12:55.300 we pretend that men and women are the same or interchangeable or fluid or whatever.

00:13:00.120 No, what we should be doing is drawing a clear line and saying to society, we have to choose.

00:13:09.960 Okay. Either men and women are the same and all these things are fluid or not. It's one or the

00:13:15.360 other. You can't have it both ways. If you want to kill the tree, you have to attack it at its roots.

00:13:21.600 And if you really want to restore sanity in this country, that's the only way to do it. 0.92

00:13:28.260 Now, let's get to our five headlines. 0.88

00:13:35.900 One of my great joys in life is going to bed each night, which is kind of pathetic, 0.96

00:13:40.900 but that's the reality of being an adult. And it's all the better because of my Helix mattress.

00:14:47.500 slash Walsh. All right, we start with actually some movie news from Deadline. There might be more

00:14:53.940 important things happening in the country, but I just thought that this was, here's some actual

00:14:57.680 good news, something, a little something that we can celebrate. And this is Deadline. This is how,

00:15:02.300 this is obviously a left-wing rag, and this is how they report on this. They say, blame the fact that

00:15:07.960 it doesn't appeal to girls. Blame Disney Plus for stealing family moviegoers. Blame the lack of an 0.92

00:15:12.720 ensemble Toy Story cast. Heck, blame everything, as Disney Pixar's Lightyear didn't do its magic by

00:15:19.660 internal studio or industry standards this weekend, with $51 million, close to a third below its $70

00:15:25.880 million pre-release projection. It says, this is an opening more in the vicinity of Pixar's original

00:15:31.540 fare, so it could still leg out to $200 million. However, given how this IP was built on the back of

00:15:37.280 the Toy Story brand, it's clear many were expecting significantly more. Lightyear overall was down

00:15:42.260 in its global start, $85.6 million versus the top end, $135 million estimate we reported. So, and it was

00:15:51.520 beat by Jurassic World at the box office, and the long and short of it is that this new Toy Story movie,

00:15:58.260 this offshoot, Lightyear, which again is, this was a film about the backstory of the toy Buzz Lightyear

00:16:12.080 in the world, in the Toy Story world. And it's doing incredibly poorly at the box office,

00:16:19.660 way below projections. It's basically a box office dud. Now, you know, for a lot of other movies,

00:16:25.820 $51 million would not be anything close to a dud, but given that this is Toy Story, it's part of the

00:16:31.120 franchise, it's Disney, all of the marketing and media and press that went into this, $51 million 0.93

00:16:37.160 is pathetic. And if you look at some of the headlines in entertainment media today, a lot of the

00:16:43.040 headlines like this in Deadline, they're all trying to figure out what the heck went wrong? How could

00:16:47.260 this have happened? This is a Toy Story brand movie. They're supposed to do $100 million. What's going

00:16:52.740 on? It's a mystery. Who could possibly explain this? Well, it's actually not a mystery at all.

00:17:01.760 I think there are a couple of potential explanations here. Not potential, but, you know, absolute.

00:17:09.260 One of them is, before we get to the political part of it, one of them is actually that I think

00:17:13.700 there reaches a point where even the standard moviegoer with his famously low standards

00:17:22.700 is just kind of sick and tired of the same old thing. Just the same thing over and over and over

00:17:32.280 again. You're just trying to shovel the same garbage into his mouth over and over and over again. 1.00

00:17:37.880 Making a franchise out of everything. Like the first Toy Story movie was just, it was a cute little

00:17:45.620 movie about toys that come to life. And that was what, 20 years ago? And 20 years later, they're

00:17:52.140 still making these same things over and over again. So I think there's some exhaustion there

00:17:57.360 on the part of the movie going public, as well there should be. But even more than that

00:18:03.900 is the fact that this is the woke Toy Story. And that's how it was advertised. And that's what

00:18:15.900 the press was saying. That's the media attention it was getting. And people don't want that.

00:18:23.200 Now, I haven't watched the movie. I'm not going to watch it. As far as I know, the only woke part

00:18:29.940 of the film is that they put this lesbian kiss scene in there between two characters. I don't

00:18:35.220 know if they're toys or not. Well, no, these are real people in the Toy Story universe. So these

00:18:39.400 are like real people, but cartoons. Okay. So they're not toys, but there's a lesbian kiss scene. 0.92

00:18:45.160 And the media has made much ado about that. In a positive way. They're celebrating it.

00:18:51.240 And we know that Disney, they put that lesbian kiss scene in because, or they put it back and

00:18:56.940 originally they had it in the story. They took it out because they figured it didn't really help

00:18:59.840 the story move along. They needed to cut it for time. They put it back in after the anti-grooming

00:19:04.940 laws in Florida as a political statement. And the movie going public wants nothing to do with that.

00:19:15.620 You know, lots of parents, they don't want to bring their kids to a cartoon movie where there's a

00:19:21.760 lesbian kiss scene. And they also don't want entertainment that has a political or ideological 0.93

00:19:29.360 message. They're just sick and tired of it. Now, on Hollywood's part, they can complain about that

00:19:38.560 and say that, oh, we should have an unending, insatiable appetite for this kind of thing.

00:19:43.520 We should want this content in all of our movies. If we were truly virtuous people, that's, well,

00:19:50.220 I disagree with that. But even if it was true, it's too bad. People don't want it.

00:19:55.420 They especially don't want it from their kids' entertainment.

00:19:58.100 Okay. There's not a lot of parents out there who want to take their kids to a movie and then

00:20:07.440 leave the movie. And that movie is now an opportunity to have a discussion about LGBT issues.

00:20:16.540 There aren't very many parents who are looking for that from their entertainment.

00:20:19.440 So that's why it didn't do well.

00:20:25.500 Which is why I would say to Hollywood, continue doing this all you want, because it's just total

00:20:31.120 self-destruction. You're making yourself more and more irrelevant. As I've said before, I think that

00:20:39.200 you can find kind of a parallel. This is sort of the bizarro world version of what Christian 1.00

00:20:45.540 entertainment has done for so long. Okay. The difference is that with, you know,

00:20:51.360 so-called Christian movies, the Christian branded entertainment, they put just like

00:20:56.940 woke Hollywood does now, they put the message before anything. The message is the most important

00:21:01.720 thing. The difference is that with Christian entertainment, the message is actually good. 0.65

00:21:04.640 So that's the good part. But story comes second, plot, writing, acting, all these things are just

00:21:12.320 afterthoughts. The actual entertainment quality of the thing itself is an afterthought. And the

00:21:18.340 idea among the Christian people in the Christian entertainment industry is that as long as the

00:21:22.320 message is there, then sort of we've done our job. But you haven't really. Because what you should

00:21:28.200 be trying to do is create great entertainment that also has the positive message. Which maybe

00:21:35.460 means the message can be a little bit more subtle. Woke Hollywood's doing the same thing.

00:21:42.320 Taking the message. Only this time it's a bad message. And, but the mistake they're making

00:21:48.280 strategically is they make the message front and center. They especially did this with that,

00:21:54.120 with this Lightyear movie. That's all of the discussion about the Lightyear movie.

00:21:58.360 It was all about the lesbian kissing. Nothing to do with the story. 0.53

00:22:01.460 And they're paying the price for it. Meanwhile, and of course, they're not learning their lesson.

00:22:07.920 So Star Wars, we know that the Star Wars franchise in general has gone woke, has arguably been woke

00:22:14.620 from the beginning, you might even say. But their Twitter account in particular is very woke. So

00:22:19.840 they were responding over the weekend to some random Twitter user who said to them,

00:22:25.900 don't make Star Wars political. And then the Star Wars account responded and said,

00:22:31.120 number one, queer characters existing isn't political. Number two, Star Wars is literally

00:22:37.300 in our name. Not exactly sure what they're going for with point two. But number one,

00:22:42.000 they say queer characters existing isn't political. Well, it is though. And you've decided that. 0.99

00:22:48.680 So you use the quote unquote queer characters to make political points. That's exactly what Disney 1.00

00:22:55.000 did with the Lightyear film. So no, that's exactly the case. You use these characters to make

00:23:05.160 political statements. That was your decision, not ours. People have noticed and they just want no

00:23:11.600 interest. They have no interest in it. They want no part of it. All right. Let's go to this from

00:23:15.900 the Daily Wire. It says, following a slew of violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers,

00:23:19.760 New York Governor Kathy Hochul is inexplicably amping up the rhetoric against pro-lifers,

00:23:25.020 calling them Neanderthals. Hochul on Monday signed legislation to boost abortion, quote,

00:23:30.100 rights and empower abortion providers in the Empire State. She said, this is the United States of

00:23:34.460 America where freedom and liberty are supposed to mean something. It's the rock upon which we were

00:23:38.920 founded. It is supposed to mean something, except in the eyes of some Neanderthals who say women are not

00:23:44.280 entitled to those rights. Now, in the article in Daily Wire, it says it's inexplicable why she's 0.84

00:23:52.060 doing this, but I don't think it's actually inexplicable at all. This is, we have these

00:23:57.580 terrorist attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, and she is coming in behind that and saying,

00:24:03.320 oh, these are a bunch of Neanderthals. Obviously, the idea is to encourage more of those attacks 0.99

00:24:08.820 by primarily by dehumanizing the, in a very literal sense. I think the word Neanderthals here

00:24:17.200 was chosen very carefully, in a very literal sense to dehumanize pro-lifers.

00:24:23.400 And we know if you dehumanize people, then you make it easier for the militants and radicals

00:24:31.380 and terrorists in your ranks to justify violent attacks against them.

00:24:37.060 And I don't want to, people have been predicting this for weeks and have turned out to be wrong,

00:24:41.220 but my prediction is probably this week we're going to finally get the Roe v. Wade decision.

00:24:46.000 And we know that pro-abortion terrorists have openly been threatening that once this decision

00:24:51.220 comes down, they're going to go all out in their attacks on pro-lifers. They already have been over

00:24:57.140 the last month or two. And it doesn't matter how bad it gets. There is just no universe where people

00:25:05.560 like Kathy Hokule and other pro-abortion people are going to come out and condemn the attacks and

00:25:11.880 tell their own side to calm down and let's be peaceful. It's not going to happen. There is no

00:25:18.720 amount of violence that would propel them to do that. And we saw this, of course, with the BLM riots in 0.61

00:25:23.240 2020. All right, we'll move to this from the Daily Mail. It says, President Joe Biden hopped out of

00:25:27.620 church Saturday evening to prove he wasn't injured after falling over on his bike during a ride near

00:25:32.380 his Rehoboth Beach home earlier in the morning. He's in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with Jill to mark

00:25:38.040 their 45th wedding anniversary and also to mark Juneteenth weekend. So he's putting all that together.

00:25:45.500 So he's got his wedding anniversary, Father's Day, Juneteenth, and he decided to celebrate all those

00:25:52.040 things by going for a nice bike ride. I'm sure you've seen this footage a million times already,

00:25:55.920 but let's watch it together, you and I. Anyway, let's see Joe Biden on his bike.

00:26:10.840 And then he takes a tumble there. So it looks like he got his foot caught on the pedal, I guess.

00:26:17.120 But he was sitting still on the bike and he fell over. And I've seen people on social media trying

00:26:26.720 to justify this and say, hey, people fall over on their bikes all the time. Do they really? I mean,

00:26:31.560 I haven't fallen over on a bike since I was like seven. Now, granted, I haven't really been on a bike

00:26:36.660 since I was seven, but still. And do they, do they typically fall over? So he's got one. Okay.

00:26:43.200 You look at the footage there. He's got one foot on the ground and he's, and he's standing still

00:26:48.380 and he just falls over. That doesn't happen very often. Even my kids, you don't see that.

00:26:56.780 And you know how, you know how frustrating this has to be for Biden's handlers because they had

00:27:00.320 this whole thing planned. The only reason he went for a bike ride was for the purposes of the camera

00:27:06.980 to prove that he's still spry and young and healthy and everything else. It was just last week that

00:27:13.660 that the new White House press secretary, Gene Pair, was on CNN and was actually being asked

00:27:20.040 skeptical questions on CNN about Biden's health and his fitness for office.

00:27:24.320 And they saw how this is now making its way into the left wing media. And they said, well,

00:27:30.180 we got to do something to prove that this guy, okay, he's, he's got, he's got another term in him.

00:27:36.820 That's how healthy he is and energetic. So they thought, well, well, what can, what could,

00:27:41.160 what can Biden actually do? What can the president do to prove that he's still physically fit?

00:27:48.980 We know he can't walk up steps. We know, in fact, just walking in general

00:27:53.000 is a little bit complicated for him. So they said, look, we'll put him on a bicycle.

00:27:58.120 That's a good idea. And they had this whole, they, the media, everybody was there,

00:28:02.340 all kinds of cameras all around. They had it all planned out. Everything is going great.

00:28:08.160 All of handler, all of Biden's handlers are thinking, well, this is, this is a great plan.

00:28:11.960 This is working out great. We're gonna get a lot of good press off of this.

00:28:15.360 We're gonna have all this footage of Biden on a bicycle. We can use it during the campaign.

00:28:19.520 This will be, this will be a, an ad during the, during the campaign for his reelection.

00:28:23.000 We could just show Biden on a bicycle and say, look, he can still ride a bike.

00:28:28.020 Vote for him again. And everything's going great. And then he, and then he stops and just

00:28:32.240 falls over and it ruins the entire, the entire publicity campaign.

00:28:40.360 Um, because why does that happen? Well, because he's, uh, he's 79 years old,

00:28:44.920 losing his mind, not even able to walk. And you have him on a bicycle.

00:28:53.960 Maybe next time try a stationary bike, have him go to planet fitness or something and bring all the

00:28:58.740 media along and just have him on a stationary bicycle in the gym for like five minutes and get

00:29:05.420 the footage that way. Well, even that wouldn't work because that bike was stationary and he still

00:29:09.500 fell off of it. And I have to say again, you know, there are people laughing about this and then other

00:29:16.040 people saying, well, we shouldn't laugh about an old guy falling off a bicycle. Um, I disagree. I'm

00:29:20.520 firmly in the let's laugh about it camp because number one, it's funny. Okay. This is just a fact

00:29:25.680 of life. Watching somebody fall off a bicycle will never not be funny. It is always funny. I'm sorry.

00:29:31.280 But number two, I must remind you that Joe Biden did this to himself. Okay. Under normal circumstances,

00:29:40.740 I would say that laughing at an elderly person as they lose their, their mental and physical 1.00

00:29:46.880 faculties is a cruel thing to do. And I would never, ever do that. Okay. I'm not going to go to a

00:29:53.160 nursing home or retirement home and just start pointing and laughing at people. Okay. But he put

00:29:59.800 himself in this position intentionally because of his lust for power. So it was his own lust for

00:30:09.080 power, his own narcissism, his own greed, which drove him to run for office at the age of 78.

00:30:17.220 And now he's reaping the consequences of that. Okay. Reap what you sow. That's what's happening here.

00:30:23.720 This is, this is all on him and he has it all coming as far as I'm concerned. All right,

00:30:29.280 let's see what else here. This is from the post-millennial. Over the weekend, it was revealed

00:30:34.880 that Uvalde police officers didn't attempt to open the door to the classroom, to the two classrooms

00:30:40.360 where children were trapped during a May 24th shooting that left 19 children and two teachers

00:30:45.040 dead. Okay. Did not attempt to open the door. Didn't even try to open it. A law enforcement

00:30:50.660 source close to the investigation told the San Antonio Express News that due to a possible

00:30:54.660 malfunction with door locks inside the building, the doors to the classrooms where shooters Salvador 0.92

00:31:00.720 Ramos killed nearly two dozen people may have been unlocked the entire time officers were inside

00:31:06.300 the building and that officers didn't try to open the door earlier in the standoff. Surveillance

00:31:11.360 footage from inside the building revealed that officers did not attempt to make an entrance into

00:31:16.120 the door. And Ramos proceeded to classrooms one 11 and one 12, which are connected with a door in

00:31:24.680 between. Investigators believe the shooter didn't lock the doors to these classrooms from the inside

00:31:30.040 and that they were likely unlocked the whole time due to a malfunction. There was also, I'm trying to

00:31:38.100 scan for it here. There was also a revelation about apparently an officer had a chance to shoot Ramos

00:31:46.160 as he was going into the school or into the classroom, but didn't, didn't take the shot because he was

00:31:52.220 afraid that he would miss and, uh, and shoot somebody else. And then Ramos goes into the classroom

00:31:58.320 and is in there slowly executing children for an hour. And they didn't even attempt to open the door.

00:32:05.880 Now you remember one of the excuses we heard for these officers early on is that they weren't able

00:32:15.400 to get into the classroom. They just weren't able to get in. And that always seems strange to me

00:32:20.780 because as I said, when this first happened, you know, usually a simple locked door is not enough

00:32:28.940 to keep police officers out. Okay. If they think that there's a drug money in there, they're going to,

00:32:35.360 bring out the battering ram and just knock the door down. Use a crowbar. I mean, there are ways

00:32:39.720 of getting inside a door. Usually you can't just lock a door and the police officers will say, well,

00:32:44.300 nevermind, we can't get in. The door's locked. So you would think, okay, unless they're in,

00:32:49.980 unless this is Fort Knox or something, or he's trapped inside a bank vault, you would think that

00:32:54.220 they would have a way of easily getting in the door. But it turns out it's even worse than we thought.

00:33:00.160 I mean, I figured the door was at least locked and they didn't make any great attempt to get in.

00:33:06.420 No, they never even turned the knob.

00:33:11.200 And every, every few days we get another revelation about this. More information comes out. It gets more

00:33:17.660 and more damning for the police officers. And I suspect that's just going to continue because we

00:33:22.800 still don't know. Even now you can, you can, you can start to kind of piece the puzzle together.

00:33:27.000 There's still a lot we don't know. And I think we could probably assume that this trajectory is,

00:33:32.600 is going to continue. Where it just gets more and more damning for the police officers as we go along.

00:33:40.560 But in some ways, it's a pretty simple story. They were afraid for their lives. And so they didn't go

00:33:46.220 in. And the officer had a chance to take them out and, you know, was, was afraid you miss,

00:33:51.740 then you're going to be held responsible for that. So just a lot of fear and cowardice.

00:33:55.260 A very simple story in some ways, but also a, uh, an enormous, unbelievable scandal also.

00:34:05.340 All right. I wanted to, this is from, from last week. And, uh, I wanted to get a chance to

00:34:09.640 talk about this a little bit. This is from DNYUZ. It says an Asian elephant named Happy

00:34:14.940 that has been at the Bronx zoo for more than 40 years will remain there after New York's highest

00:34:20.360 court ruled on Tuesday that she is not a person in a legal sense and therefore not entitled to a

00:34:25.980 fundamental human right. By a vote of five to two, the court of appeals rejected an animal advocacy

00:34:31.120 organization's argument that Happy was being illegally detained at the zoo and should be

00:34:36.300 transferred to a more natural environment. The dispute hinged on whether the cornerstone legal

00:34:41.140 principle of habeas corpus, which people assert to protect their bodily liberty, liberty,

00:34:46.360 to contest illegal confinement should be extended to autonomous, cognitively complex animals like

00:34:52.160 elephants. But the court said, no, chief judge wrote, uh, quote, while no one disputes the

00:34:58.000 impressive capabilities of elephants, we reject petitioners arguments that it is entitled to seek

00:35:02.500 the remedy of habeas corpus on Happy's behalf. Habeas corpus is a procedural vehicle intended to

00:35:08.280 secure the liberty rights of human beings who are unlawfully restrained, not non-human animals.

00:35:12.620 So this is where we are in America. We actually needed a court to declare that Happy the elephant

00:35:18.200 is an elephant and not a person. And this is actually a complicated, to you and I, it seems

00:35:24.780 pretty simple. We don't, we don't need to take this to court. Uh, you don't need to read the entire,

00:35:29.740 uh, opinion written by this court. I haven't read the entire opinion. Then you probably think you don't

00:35:37.520 need to because it's, well, it's okay. Is the elephant a person? Well, no. How do you know that?

00:35:42.220 Well, cause you just said it's an elephant and elephants and people are two different things.

00:35:46.620 So to you and I, it seems simple. But then again, to you and I, the question of what does a woman 1.00

00:35:50.620 seem simple? Turns out that's not so simple to a lot of people in a lot of people's minds.

00:35:55.360 And this especially is not simple on the left. And that's why when this decision came down,

00:36:00.100 lots of people on the left were upset about it and angry about it because they think that,

00:36:04.540 yeah, the elephant should have personhood rights.

00:36:06.340 An elephant should have personhood rights. Um, a child in the womb should not. 0.98

00:36:14.260 How do you make sense of that? Well, because on the left, the word person, the label person

00:36:20.940 has nothing to do with being a human. Just as we have this artificial kind of separation,

00:36:28.500 this bifurcation of sex and gender, well, they've done the exact same thing with human being and person.

00:36:33.680 And it's the same answer. Sex and gender, oh, those are two different things. Well, no,

00:36:39.760 they're not. They're actually the same. They're synonyms. Human being and person are not two

00:36:45.120 separate things. They are, they are the same. They're just synonyms. They're two words for the

00:36:48.180 same thing. But that's what the left has done. And they've, they've, this is necessary in order to

00:36:54.460 support their position on abortion. Now, a person is not necessarily a human being, they say. And a

00:37:03.680 person, well, then you have the, the question, what is a person? They can't define it.

00:37:11.040 You know, maybe that should be the follow-up to what is a woman. We have a, we have a film,

00:37:14.200 what is a person? And that to the left is going to seem even more complicated.

00:37:19.780 I mean, just the, a, a woman, a, a person who is a woman, that sentence alone, that's a very

00:37:27.440 complicated sentence. Every word in that little short sentence is very complicated and impossible

00:37:32.280 to define. But if they were to try to break it down, they would say that being a person has

00:37:36.600 something to do with cognitive ability, something to do with self-awareness, something to do with your,

00:37:41.900 you know, your, your faculties, your, you know, your intelligence IQ, you know, they would wrap

00:37:50.160 all that up in the personhood title. And then that raises all kinds of questions. And if that's the

00:37:55.160 case, then, then, okay, then you've just made an elephant a person, but obviously unborn children

00:38:00.240 are not. That's what you intended. What about newborn babies? What about elderly people with

00:38:05.560 dementia? What about Joe Biden? I mean, all these questions are none of them people.

00:38:09.240 And, um, you end up with confusion. And that, of course, is, is the whole idea is just to take

00:38:15.600 something that once had a solid, understandable meaning and make it confused, arbitrary,

00:38:24.400 uh, impossible to define. And once you've done that, it's very easy because they can come along

00:38:29.140 and, and, and they get to decide on a case-by-case basis who these labels apply to. And that, of course,

00:38:35.160 is the whole point. Well, uh, we all get heartburn at the pump these days and it seems like there's

00:38:41.860 no relief in sight, especially if you're waiting around for the Biden administration to, uh, make

00:38:45.560 things easier for you. That's not going to happen, but here's the good news. Um, out there in the free

00:38:50.520 market, there are people coming up with innovations that do make it easier. And one of them is the great

00:38:54.940 app that if you don't have yet, you need to get, it's called upside. My listeners are earning cash

00:39:34.740 Um, go there right now. Use promo code Walsh to get 25 cents per gallon or more cash back on your

00:39:39.820 first tank. Let's get now to the comment section.

00:39:53.380 Lego David says, you know, we hear so much these days about women's rights, gay rights,

00:39:58.880 trans rights, et cetera, but we barely hear anything about children's rights. Children have

00:40:02.480 some fundamental rights that need to be protected. And most people on the left could, couldn't care

00:40:06.440 any less about them except for the part where they indoctrinate them. Uh, Matt Walsh is a true

00:40:11.560 hero. One of the very few defenders of children's rights. I don't know about the hero bit, but the

00:40:15.440 rest of it, you're exactly right. Uh, you know, we, we take this idea of rights and then we assign it to

00:40:20.960 different groups of people. So we have different labels, different types of rights. As you say,

00:40:25.660 trans rights, women's rights, all these different rights. Um, when really there's only supposed to

00:40:30.280 be, if the word rights has any meaning at all, it's just supposed to be human rights. And anyone

00:40:34.620 who's a human being has those rights. Um, but when the left talks about rights, they don't really mean

00:40:39.840 rights anymore. They mean privileges. Okay. They mean a special accommodations, what they really mean.

00:40:47.180 But if we're going to play this game and break people down into categories and then say, well,

00:40:51.860 here's your, here are the rights you have. If you're in this category, here are the rights you have

00:40:55.200 in this category. Yeah. You would think that we would do that with children. We would be talking

00:41:00.240 about, well, here's a, maybe we should have a children's bill of rights. I wouldn't necessarily

00:41:06.220 support that. I don't think we should need that because again, the, the bill of rights that applies

00:41:10.300 to children should just be the bill of rights. They shouldn't, we shouldn't need to have a separate

00:41:14.360 one, but, um, they don't do that with children. And why is that? Because, well, because as we've seen,

00:41:20.760 they, they hate children. I think it's as simple as that. Virginia house says, okay, I do consider

00:41:25.720 myself a firm mom. That being said, everything you said about kids is so true and much, much more.

00:41:30.780 I have three children had three children. The relationship and bond of parent and child is

00:41:34.780 so indescribable. The love and pride of someone that you either brought into this world or even

00:41:39.980 adopted is amazing. And at times overwhelming, this is just the beginning of parental feelings. As much as

00:41:44.780 I love my animals, there's no comparison to how I feel about my children. Uh, I have lost pets and

00:41:50.120 it's heartbreaking. It hurts very badly, but there's no hurt in this world that compares to losing a

00:41:53.840 child. No pain, no depth of grief comes close. Uh, yeah, well, I, I very much disapprove of anybody

00:42:02.000 using the fur mom or fur dad or fur parent label, as I explained on the show, uh, because you're not

00:42:09.020 actually the parent of your pet, but if you're going to do it, then at least you should be able to

00:42:15.340 demonstrate that you understand the hierarchy of these things and that you don't actually

00:42:20.080 class your fur child in the same category as your actual children. So I'm glad that you don't at

00:42:25.380 least, but the way that many pet owners talk about their pets and treat their pets, it really does

00:42:31.480 seem as though they, they would put their like dog on the same footing as their actual child.

00:42:38.220 Uh, Mark says, I like the idea of comparing drag to black face. Can we start calling it drag face? 1.00

00:42:43.480 It really has a good ring to it. I think woman face works perfectly fine. I think that's what we 1.00

00:42:46.960 should call it actually. Cat is table says, um, I practically never comment on videos, but I had

00:42:54.620 to say in all honesty, the description of the experience of parenthood has me pumped to one

00:42:58.780 day be a father. Thank you. Well, it is, it's, it's a, you should be pumped about it. It's a,

00:43:04.560 it's an exciting thing to be a parent. Um, let's see. LK 23 says, Matt, why are you so uncomfortable

00:43:13.160 with birthdays? It's so weird. Who hurt you as a child? Uh, because I don't, there are some human

00:43:21.740 things that I can't understand and relate to. I'm like Spock, I guess. And birthdays is one of them.

00:43:26.460 I just don't understand why that should be celebrated. So I've existed for another year

00:43:34.220 on earth. Okay, great. Now, if, if you, if you did something during that year that is worthy of

00:43:42.100 celebration, if you achieve something, then let's celebrate that. I'm all about celebrating achievements

00:43:46.920 is my point. So celebrating an achievement is great, but simply existing for another year on

00:43:51.820 earth is not in and of itself an achievement. Now, if you, uh, survived some sort of life threatening

00:44:01.040 calamity in the meantime, if you went to war, if you, uh, got over a severe illness, if you

00:44:06.200 cancer went into remission or something like that, well, then surviving another year is an

00:44:10.240 achievement, but then we're just celebrating that we're celebrating the achievement. So I reject on

00:44:14.280 principle that we should all be celebrated simply for existing another year. That's my point about

00:44:20.200 birthdays. Uh, Augusto says two points. One, I cannot believe I'm saying this, but I agree with

00:44:26.120 Pelosi statement. Private beliefs are private beliefs, but they should not dictate policy.

00:44:31.040 That is not a contradictory position to hold. And two, Israel drafts women into the military,

00:44:36.580 albeit for two years instead of three and not into combat roles. A society can exist in a,

00:44:41.140 in a democratic sense and employ that policy. Um, well, to your second point, you know, I don't care

00:44:48.180 what policies other countries have. Some countries draft children into war. Okay. My point is that for us

00:44:57.500 submitting to the drafting of our daughters into battle would represent, I think just a sort of full

00:45:05.000 scale surrender as a society. To your first point, you say private beliefs shouldn't dictate policy.

00:45:12.660 Well, that very similar to the people who say you should never legislate morality, right? Very similar

00:45:18.680 idea. And just like that idea, what you're saying here makes no sense at all. Private beliefs don't

00:45:24.720 dictate policy. Okay. Well, let me ask you, what does dictate the policies that a politician supports?

00:45:32.560 If not their private beliefs are, do you want them to support policies they don't believe in?

00:45:39.780 Do you want them to support policies that they think other people believe in, but they don't?

00:45:43.080 But even then, then they would be supporting policies based on their belief that the beliefs of the

00:45:51.440 public matter. So no matter what they're doing, of course, they're going to be motivated by their

00:45:55.160 own private beliefs. Just like every law that is passed is a, is a law that legislates morality.

00:46:05.300 It may be legislating morality wrongly. Um, it may be legislating morality ineffectively.

00:46:12.720 It may be legislating the wrong morality entirely, but every single law that is passed, it is passed

00:46:21.160 because, um, the people passing it believe that it's, that it's right, that it's good, that this is

00:46:26.580 what we should be doing. You know, if, if we pass a law making something illegal, it's because we believe

00:46:32.760 that the thing we're making illegal is wrong. You shouldn't do it. It's harmful, whatever.

00:46:37.820 So it always comes down to morality, just like it always comes down to personal beliefs.

00:46:42.080 So your point makes no sense, but otherwise, thanks for listening and for leaving the comment.

00:46:46.500 Big things are happening here at the Daily Wire. We've got the most talked about documentary in

00:46:50.640 America. What is a Woman? If you've seen the movie, now's your chance to read the book,

00:46:54.340 which came out last week and is available on Amazon or wherever you buy books. And we also have

00:46:58.320 the summer movie, Terror on the Prairie, starring Gina Carano. Disney tried to cancel her,

00:47:02.080 but we uncancel her. And now you can see her like you've never seen her before in this riveting

00:47:06.360 Western that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There has never been a better time to become

00:47:10.040 a Daily Wire member. Every time you subscribe, you not only make a leftist cry, which is the best part,

00:47:31.080 Also, speaking of exciting things, I have to tell you, my dearest sweet babies,

00:47:35.540 though you are well aware that I am the most generous of the theocratic fascist dictators

00:47:39.600 out there, you may still be surprised by this announcement. We are releasing a bonus installment

00:47:43.760 in my patch program for the month of June. You heard that right. I'm giving you yet another reason

00:47:48.640 to send me your money over at dailywire.com slash shop. And so I geniously, if that's even a word,

00:47:55.020 dreamed up a few episodes back, the virtue signal patch. And it's here. I said, we need to make it.

00:48:01.820 And just like with a wave of my hand, it materialized just like that. The virtue signal

00:48:06.480 patch, whether it's a BLM fist Ukraine or the pride flag, the virtue signal patch will help you

00:48:11.300 maintain the moral high ground over the rest of society. You don't have to worry about keeping up

00:48:15.100 with the current thing because you've got the virtue signal patch and your virtue signaling,

00:48:18.420 and that covers all of it. Okay. It's a get out of jail free card and you're good to go. If you ask

00:48:23.300 me, it's a sound investment because the pride flag alone changes too often to justify purchasing.

00:48:28.600 But no matter the cost, this patch will help you stay one step ahead of the flock by showing your

00:48:32.660 support for the current thing. So get your virtue signal patch over the daily wire shop right now.

00:48:38.500 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:39.740 The comedian W. Kamau Bell is one of those interesting sorts of comedians who has made the bold choice

00:48:50.080 to never be funny. Like so many other comedians today, Bell calls himself a comedian and yet has never

00:48:55.100 made anyone laugh ever in his life. He's never been involved in a funny joke unless his career itself

00:49:00.860 is the joke. In fact, Bell is so relentlessly unfunny and uninteresting that he received the most damning

00:49:06.800 professional indictment imaginable, which is a show on CNN. He's the host of United Shades of America,

00:49:12.380 where he preaches about race. I assume. I haven't seen it and neither has anybody else. So we can

00:49:17.820 only speculate. Bell was also hired as a spokesman for something called the Abortion Access Fund,

00:49:23.340 where he produced a Father's Day PSA, encouraging men to celebrate Father's Day by supporting women

00:49:28.640 by becoming pro-abortion feminists, because that's how you support women, he says. Now we'll play the

00:49:35.620 thing in a minute, and this is not my main objection that I would raise to this PSA. We'll get to those

00:49:40.000 in a moment. But we should note how this is yet another Father's Day message that isn't really for or

00:49:46.540 about fathers. For whatever reason, we're not allowed to simply just celebrate fathers in this country.

00:49:52.100 All of the marketing and messaging around Mother's Day is about how wonderful mothers are. But for

00:49:57.280 Father's Day, we talk about the things that fathers are doing wrong. Father's Day is mostly an

00:50:01.820 afterthought, like a participation trophy we give to dads after all the over-the-top festivities for

00:50:06.840 Mother's Day. And when it is acknowledged, it's usually to lecture men about their failures.

00:50:12.480 So we give fathers the gift of nagging for Father's Day, as if they didn't already have an

00:50:16.840 endless supply of that readily on hand. But that's neither here nor there, as the problem with this

00:50:21.380 pro-abortion Father's Day message goes way beyond the issues I just raised. See you for yourself.

00:50:26.960 Check it out.

00:50:29.980 Dad does so much for the family. This Father's Day, give him what he really needs. Not a homebrewing

00:50:36.120 kid. Not socks. Give him safe and legal access to abortion. 1.00

00:50:43.480 Hello. I'm noted male feminist W. Kamau Bell. Do you know how much I've spent on birth control in my

00:50:49.120 life? $213. Mostly on condoms that expire to my wallet. Do you know how much my wife has spent? 0.71

00:50:55.880 $17,530.

00:51:04.260 Dads, if you've ever had sex and not had a kid, it's likely birth control or abortion played a role.

00:51:10.120 Okay, we have to stop it already, because Bell has proven that he can't talk about issues related to

00:51:14.580 the female body without descending into these amateurish misconceptions in about 40 seconds. 1.00

00:51:19.740 The left, you know, because they have no other rebuttal, they like to accuse pro-life men of being

00:51:24.180 sexless incels who don't know anything about women. I've always found this charge interesting, 0.83

00:51:28.420 given that I have a wife and four children. But it turns out, not surprisingly, that pro-abortion men

00:51:33.960 are the ones who understand very little about the female body. The ones who've actually enjoyed the 0.99

00:51:39.520 company of a woman, because they managed to find one with low enough standards to accommodate them, 1.00

00:51:44.560 seem to view birth control and abortion as magical elixirs that simply make babies and thus their

00:51:51.380 responsibilities simply disappear. They imagine, apparently, that without birth control,

00:51:56.040 a baby would materialize after every sexual encounter. That's why Bell says that if a man

00:52:02.980 has ever had sex and not had a baby, it's because of birth control or abortion. What he doesn't seem

00:52:08.880 to understand is that women are not fertile every day of the month. In fact, they aren't fertile most 1.00

00:52:14.640 days of the month. A woman's body works in cycles, and she's only capable of conceiving 1.00

00:52:18.600 a child for a certain short period during that cycle, usually about six days. Which means that

00:52:23.860 most of the times you've had sex and not had a baby, it has nothing to do with birth control or

00:52:28.660 abortion. In fact, there are couples, if you can believe it, who don't use birth control at all

00:52:33.180 and have sex frequently and don't end up with 900 kids. That's not a miracle of science. It's just

00:52:39.600 science. And you might want to learn a thing or two about it before recording another PSA on the

00:52:44.600 subject. Let's continue. We're used to not having to worry about it, but nobody ever got

00:52:49.760 pregnant from a vibrator. For that, you need... A spoon on an egg! A spoon on an egg! That's right. 1.00

00:52:56.680 See, the majority of people seeking abortions are already parents. They know it's right for 0.93

00:53:01.400 their families. They would know if having another kid would send them spiraling into poverty. 0.95

00:53:05.540 It definitely would. Oh my God. Funny you should mention God, because there's literally no mention

00:53:12.100 of the word abortion in here. Just like in here, there's no mention of how the state is going to

00:53:16.040 help these families if they forced to bury these children. It's almost like this is just a way for

00:53:20.220 a few fragile men to use religion to control our bodies. So remember the rule here. If somebody 0.97

00:53:28.240 is bringing up religion in the context of the abortion debate, it's almost always going to be a 0.98

00:53:32.820 leftist. In this case, Bell pulls out the Bible to make the case for abortion, and then in the next

00:53:38.800 sentence, accuses pro-lifers of doing the same. He says that abortion is never mentioned in the Bible,

00:53:44.120 except that it is plain as day, right in the Ten Commandments. Thou shalt not kill is the injunction,

00:53:49.380 quite famously. Actually, correctly translated, the commandment is to, quote, do no murder. And this is

00:53:54.640 how Jesus quotes the passage in Matthew 19, 18. Do no murder. Thou shalt not murder. There are,

00:53:59.940 of course, many different forms of murder and many different ways that people are murdered. And the

00:54:04.000 Bible doesn't bother itself with listing every single potential version of the crime because

00:54:08.180 there's no need to. If you're killing an innocent and defenseless human being, you are committing

00:54:12.620 murder and therefore running afoul of God's commandment. Abortion kills an innocent and 0.99

00:54:18.080 defenseless human being, and so it is murder. Therefore, abortion is mentioned in the Bible. Now, this is not

00:54:24.020 how I would choose to argue my case if I'm talking to a secular person. My first point would

00:54:29.860 not be that the Bible forbids it, but since he brought it up, I feel the need to correct the

00:54:34.620 record. Speaking of things that aren't mentioned in places, do you know what the Bill of Rights

00:54:41.060 never mentions? Abortion. In fact, it never mentions abortion or anything related to abortion or anything

00:54:46.740 that could be remotely interpreted as having something to do with abortion. The word abortion

00:54:51.040 never appears anywhere in the Constitution. Abortion is not a constitutional right, but rather a right 0.81

00:54:56.660 invented by nine people in robes in 1973. All of those people, by the way, were men.

00:55:03.760 All right. Now, for some reason, we're going to continue watching this, so let's keep going.

00:55:07.660 Daddy doing a PSA. Okay.

00:55:10.580 Ask any parent. Parenting is a job. A wonderful, very difficult job. And since when does America force

00:55:18.040 anybody to do a job against their will without paying them by controlling their bodies? Oh, yeah,

00:55:24.120 right. So as we celebrate Father's Day, let's also celebrate birth control, abortion, and bodily

00:55:30.840 autonomy. Because, man, have we benefited from those. So enjoy your day, guys, and welcome to the fight.

00:55:37.640 We've been waiting for you. Happy Father's Day!

00:55:42.620 I got you socks.

00:55:44.440 I got you socks.

00:56:14.420 A parent is not merely a job, okay? Any more than being a son or a daughter is merely a job.

00:56:20.900 Parent describes a natural biological relationship. This is my whole argument for why you shouldn't

00:56:26.640 call yourself the parent of your dog. Slavery, on the other hand, describes an unnatural, oppressive,

00:56:32.720 man-made construct. If you're a parent, it means that you have conceived a human being.

00:56:38.260 And that alone makes you a parent by definition.

00:56:41.180 The job part describes the legal and moral responsibilities that come with this relationship.

00:56:47.860 Slaves have no natural responsibility to their owners, which is what makes slavery a horrible

00:56:52.320 injustice. Parents do have natural responsibilities to their children, which is why nearly all societies

00:56:58.200 in history, including our own, legally require parents to care for their children or else find

00:57:03.320 somebody else who will. The only question is whether that responsibility should begin at the moment when

00:57:09.220 the child comes into being at conception or at some arbitrary point thereafter. Pro-abortion people

00:57:16.020 favor the arbitrary point. In favoring the arbitrary point, they reject the personhood of children before

00:57:23.340 the point they've decided. And arbitrarily rejecting a human being's personhood so as to deprive that

00:57:30.260 person of basic human rights and of their dignity is exactly what happened with slavery.

00:57:36.860 So, Bell is right to make the slavery comparison. He just forgot that in this analogy, he's on the

00:57:42.860 side of the slave owners. The video ends with men being encouraged to celebrate abortion, birth control,

00:57:49.620 and bodily autonomy, lumping all these things together in one category. You may recall that the

00:57:55.280 left used to passionately deny that abortion is used as birth control, and now they seem to have

00:58:01.300 dropped the act entirely. And now he's putting them together. It's the same thing. The relative honesty

00:58:07.500 is at least one positive thing in this video, we can say, but it's not enough to save it and W. Kamau Bell

00:58:13.360 from being today canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
