00:00:30.000 Virginia Governor Ralph North is now denying

00:00:33.160 that he appeared in a blackface Ku Klux Klan photo

00:00:36.520 on his medical school yearbook page

00:00:38.180 one day after apologizing

00:00:40.320 for appearing in a blackface Ku Klux Klan photo

00:00:43.080 on his medical school yearbook page.

00:00:44.820 He also denies ever appearing in blackface

00:00:47.920 except for that time he wore blackface

00:00:50.180 to a Michael Jackson impersonator contest.

00:00:52.740 But don't worry.

00:00:53.660 He won't perform the moonwalk anymore

00:00:55.480 because that would be inappropriate according to his wife.

00:00:58.160 Oh yeah.

00:00:58.860 Also, he supports killing babies after they've been born.

00:01:02.260 We will analyze the sheer political brilliance

00:01:04.580 with which Democrats took down one of their own governors

00:01:07.360 to avoid talking about their growing support for infanticide.

00:01:11.060 Then, variations on a theme,

00:01:12.460 an Indian man sues his parents

00:01:14.060 for giving birth to him without his consent.

00:01:16.860 The nerve of them.

00:01:18.060 All life is suffering, he says,

00:01:19.980 but a new study shows that people

00:01:21.520 who have endured the most suffering

00:01:23.080 may live the longest lives.

00:01:24.980 We will try to make sense of the competing cultures

00:01:27.640 of life and death.

00:01:28.900 Finally, speaking of death,

00:01:30.760 Super Bowl 53,

00:01:32.200 and the death of football.

00:01:33.480 I'm Michael Knowles,

00:01:34.260 and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:42.600 Ralph Northam.

00:01:44.040 What a tragedy in three acts.

00:01:46.240 A comedy and a tragedy in three acts.

00:01:47.940 We'll get to it in a second,

00:01:49.200 but first,

00:01:50.140 let me talk to you about,

00:01:51.560 you know how much I love this,

00:01:52.720 Purple Mattress.

00:01:54.120 I am a proselytizer for Purple Mattress.

00:01:56.760 It has saved my marriage.

00:01:58.580 It's certainly saved my back.

00:02:00.060 It is the greatest mattress I have ever slept on.

00:02:02.960 I have recommended it to all of my friends.

00:02:05.500 You need to get it yourself.

00:02:07.340 I'm telling you,

00:02:08.320 it is the best sleep that you will ever get.

00:02:10.240 It is unlike any bed you've ever slept on.

00:02:11.940 It's not quite a memory foam.

00:02:13.020 It's not an inner spring.

00:02:14.280 It's this new technology

00:02:15.620 developed by rocket scientists.

00:02:17.660 Somehow it is both firm and soft

00:02:19.020 at the same time.

00:02:19.920 That doesn't sound like it makes sense.

00:02:21.460 It does, though.

00:02:22.280 It sleeps very cool.

00:02:23.500 It just feels great.

00:02:25.120 I got mine in California King.

00:02:26.740 As someone who sleeps 19 to 25 hours a day,

00:02:29.500 I highly recommend it.

00:02:30.840 You've got to make sure

00:02:32.140 that you've got a good quality bed.

00:02:34.080 It will change your life.

00:02:36.280 Purple Matt is going to feel different

00:02:37.680 than anything you've ever tried.

00:02:38.860 It is unique.

00:02:39.460 You get a 100-night risk-free trial.

00:02:40.940 If you're not fully satisfied,

00:02:41.920 you can return your mattress for a full refund.

00:02:43.300 You won't want to.

00:02:44.500 Backed by a 10-year warranty,

00:02:45.580 free shipping and returns,

00:02:46.700 free in-home setup and old mattress removal.

00:03:13.420 Apply.

00:03:14.480 Okay.

00:03:15.060 Now, look, I love purple mattress.

00:03:17.660 But now,

00:03:18.880 we can get to

00:03:20.000 one of the most incredible political displays

00:03:23.900 of the last three or four years.

00:03:27.840 Other than everything Donald Trump's done.

00:03:29.960 The Ralph Northam turnaround

00:03:31.800 is a jaw-dropping political display.

00:03:34.420 For those of you who missed it over the weekend,

00:03:36.400 here is Democrat,

00:03:37.520 Virginia Governor Ralph Northam

00:03:39.360 reacting to the news

00:03:42.040 that on his medical school yearbook page

00:03:44.780 is a photo of a man in blackface

00:03:47.200 and a man wearing a Ku Klux Klan outfit.

00:03:51.520 This, according to the Washington Post,

00:03:53.800 Ralph Northam is in this photo.

00:03:56.680 Ralph Northam, this gets exposed,

00:03:58.140 and he comes out and apologizes.

00:04:00.520 That photo and the racist and offensive attitudes it represents

00:04:05.760 does not reflect that person I am today

00:04:08.920 or the way that I have conducted myself

00:04:11.440 as a soldier, a doctor, and a public servant.

00:04:15.060 I am deeply sorry.

00:04:18.360 I cannot change the decisions I made,

00:04:21.440 nor can I undo the harm

00:04:23.080 my behavior caused then and today.

00:04:26.460 But I accept responsibility for my past actions,

00:04:30.120 and I am ready to do the hard work

00:04:32.060 of regaining your trust.

00:04:34.000 He accepts responsibility.

00:04:36.000 He is apologizing.

00:04:37.320 He's about to work to gain back your trust.

00:04:41.180 And then he realized,

00:04:42.080 wait a minute, I'm a Democrat.

00:04:43.080 I don't need to apologize for anything.

00:04:45.600 I don't need to take responsibility.

00:04:47.400 Yippee, I'm a Democrat governor.

00:04:49.080 So then, a day later,

00:04:50.280 he goes out and unapologizes.

00:04:52.360 Yesterday, I took responsibility

00:04:54.920 for content that appeared on my page

00:04:57.660 in the Eastern Virginia Medical School yearbook

00:05:00.560 that was clearly racist and offensive.

00:05:05.180 I am not and will not excuse the content of the photo.

00:05:09.000 It was offensive, racist, and despicable.

00:05:14.680 When my staff showed me the photo in question yesterday,

00:05:18.960 I was seeing it for the first time.

00:05:21.780 I did not purchase the EDMS yearbook,

00:05:24.960 and I was unaware of what was on my page.

00:05:27.460 When I was confronted with the images yesterday,

00:05:31.840 I was appalled that they appeared on my page,

00:05:35.160 but I believe then and now

00:05:37.940 that I am not either of the people in that photo.

00:05:43.920 I stand by my statement of apology

00:05:46.620 to the many Virginians who were hurt

00:05:48.560 by seeing this content

00:05:50.200 on a yearbook page that belongs to me.

00:05:53.000 Being a leftist means never having to say you're sorry.

00:05:57.720 Listen to that language.

00:05:58.940 Then he says,

00:05:59.540 well, I'm apologizing that there was

00:06:02.280 a racially offensive photo on my yearbook page.

00:06:05.220 Then he asks us to believe

00:06:06.580 that he never saw the yearbook,

00:06:08.200 never purchased the yearbook,

00:06:09.740 had nothing to do with the photo being on his page,

00:06:13.780 although then one wonders,

00:06:15.160 why was it on the page,

00:06:16.020 and why are you sorry that it appeared on the page?

00:06:18.140 Then he says, listen to the language,

00:06:20.220 I believe that I was not

00:06:23.080 either of the people on that page.

00:06:24.580 Now, if that photo comes out,

00:06:25.740 a guy in blackface,

00:06:26.820 a guy wearing a Ku Klux Klan uniform,

00:06:28.900 especially if you're a Democrat governor,

00:06:30.620 I mean, there's a long history

00:06:32.580 of Democrat governors wearing that uniform.

00:06:36.120 If that appears,

00:06:37.480 and you weren't in that photo,

00:06:39.140 wouldn't you come out and say,

00:06:39.940 it's not me?

00:06:41.520 You wouldn't apologize for it.

00:06:43.320 When you then unapologized,

00:06:44.840 you wouldn't say,

00:06:45.780 I believe I was not in that.

00:06:47.440 You would say, it's not me.

00:06:48.180 I'm not in that photo.

00:06:49.040 I didn't do that.

00:06:50.800 So, come on, get off it.

00:06:53.120 This is a political dirty trick

00:06:54.440 or something like that.

00:06:55.920 Instead, he's just saying,

00:06:58.740 don't believe your lying eyes.

00:07:00.100 This is what they always do.

00:07:01.140 This reminds me of Joy Reid.

00:07:03.660 Joy Reid is that MSNBC commentator,

00:07:07.380 and it came out that she had written on her blog

00:07:09.980 all of these anti-gay writings years ago.

00:07:12.700 And all of these anti-gay writings come out,

00:07:14.840 and she denies that they were there.

00:07:16.660 She says, I don't know how they got there.

00:07:18.240 Maybe it got hacked.

00:07:19.100 Maybe my old website,

00:07:21.780 ex post facto, got hacked,

00:07:23.580 and then all of these anti-gay writings

00:07:26.480 appeared there.

00:07:27.280 And, well, anyway,

00:07:28.040 no responsibility.

00:07:29.700 It's not me.

00:07:30.660 And then,

00:07:31.360 so he doesn't deny that he wore blackface ever.

00:07:34.020 His excuse, Ralph Northam,

00:07:35.800 is that he wasn't wearing blackface in this photo,

00:07:39.640 but he has worn blackface before.

00:07:42.440 He wore blackface

00:07:43.760 for a Michael Jackson impersonation contest.

00:07:47.940 Virginia will see a meaningful difference between you

00:07:50.740 in the Michael Jackson face paint and the blackface photo.

00:07:55.160 Is that a meaningful distinction in terms of the big part?

00:07:58.060 That's up to them.

00:07:59.560 You know,

00:07:59.900 everything is in soundbites these days,

00:08:02.700 but I really do believe that both of them are wrong,

00:08:07.100 but there's a contrast between the blackface

00:08:10.180 and someone standing there in a Ku Klux Klan outfit

00:08:12.680 and me dressed up in a Michael Jackson costume for a dance contest.

00:08:17.860 And, again,

00:08:19.120 they're both wrong,

00:08:20.940 but I would hope people would see the contrast.

00:08:23.560 So, speaking of seeing contrasts,

00:08:26.080 the one reason this Michael Jackson line is just obviously bogus

00:08:30.080 is that Ralph Northam today

00:08:32.300 is much darker skinned than Michael Jackson for much of his career.

00:08:36.700 So that, you know,

00:08:37.780 the timeline is very important here

00:08:39.140 on when you're doing your Michael Jackson impersonation.

00:08:41.980 But why is he admitting that he wore blackface

00:08:44.720 for a Michael Jackson contest or party or whatever?

00:08:48.900 The reason he's doing it

00:08:50.700 is that the guy's obviously worn blackface.

00:08:53.400 He almost certainly wore blackface in that photo.

00:08:55.340 He wore blackface or he wore the hood.

00:08:56.800 I don't know which one's better for Ralph Northam,

00:08:59.840 but he knows he's done it,

00:09:01.180 and he knows that probably some other photos exist.

00:09:04.960 If this guy was going out wearing blackface in the 80s,

00:09:08.340 probably that's not the only photograph.

00:09:10.240 If one of the photographs makes it to his medical school yearbook page,

00:09:12.820 probably they're going to come out.

00:09:14.060 And so when the next photo comes out,

00:09:15.480 it's going to be much more difficult

00:09:18.600 for Northam to have any credibility,

00:09:21.020 not that he has any now.

00:09:22.600 But the best part of the Michael Jackson line

00:09:24.460 is the piece de la resistance

00:09:26.440 of this whole beautiful press conference

00:09:29.240 when a reporter asks him to do the moonwalk,

00:09:32.960 and he almost does it.

00:09:34.380 The people that do that kind of research,

00:09:36.260 perhaps they should have looked at that.

00:09:39.240 And you said that the competition in San Antonio

00:09:41.680 was a dance competition?

00:09:43.280 Yes.

00:09:44.180 And it was that you danced the moonwalk?

00:09:46.300 That's right.

00:09:47.040 Are you still able to moonwalk?

00:09:50.820 Inappropriate circumstances.

00:09:53.020 My wife says inappropriate circumstances.

00:09:55.500 Are you still able to dance the moonwalk?

00:10:01.360 And what is it for those of you who couldn't see it?

00:10:03.400 He looks around.

00:10:05.060 He's looking around for a place on the stage

00:10:07.620 to do the moonwalk.

00:10:08.840 And he's smiling.

00:10:10.000 And he probably doesn't know how to do the moonwalk.

00:10:11.840 I wish.

00:10:12.740 If only his wife weren't there,

00:10:14.340 we could have seen that.

00:10:15.500 Somehow the press conference would have been even better.

00:10:17.920 Really beautiful.

00:10:18.780 So now, after this press conference,

00:10:21.360 all of a sudden, leading Democrats

00:10:23.140 are coming out against the guy.

00:10:25.060 Terry McAuliffe, ex-governor of Virginia.

00:10:27.400 Eric Holder, ex-attorney general.

00:10:29.480 Hillary Clinton, former future president of the United States.

00:10:32.140 They're all coming out.

00:10:33.200 They're saying,

00:10:33.580 he doesn't have the judgment.

00:10:34.960 He can't be governor of Virginia.

00:10:37.180 He's got to resign.

00:10:38.520 He's got to get out of office.

00:10:40.480 You'll notice all of these Democrats

00:10:42.280 were waiting until after the press conference.

00:10:44.360 It wasn't right when the photo came out.

00:10:46.400 It wasn't, you know,

00:10:47.820 any of his other actions as governor.

00:10:49.500 It was after this press conference

00:10:50.780 they realized this guy is not capable

00:10:54.300 of remaining in office.

00:10:56.660 He's looking too bad for us.

00:10:59.180 What this is about,

00:11:00.800 the reason that Ralph Northam is being pushed out of office

00:11:03.540 is not because he wore blackface

00:11:06.720 or a Ku Klux Klan hood 35 years ago.

00:11:10.440 He's being pushed out

00:11:11.620 for being an incompetent spokesman

00:11:14.200 for the Democrat Party.

00:11:15.760 And what this is really about

00:11:17.460 is not about blackface or racism or bigotry.

00:11:21.740 What this is all really about is abortion.

00:11:24.560 And this was an amazing move by the Democrat Party.

00:11:28.480 I don't know who was behind this.

00:11:30.240 I don't know exactly where the tip-off came from.

00:11:32.260 I don't know how it all played out moment to moment.

00:11:35.060 But pivoting this conversation

00:11:37.500 from this man endorsing infanticide

00:11:41.380 to this man having worn blackface 35 years ago

00:11:44.360 so he's got to go,

00:11:45.320 this was one of the most brilliant

00:11:47.300 strategic communication strategies,

00:11:50.480 crisis management strategies,

00:11:52.340 that I have ever seen.

00:11:53.940 It totally worked.

00:11:55.600 We will explain how it worked,

00:11:57.820 what it means,

00:11:58.500 what it means for the culture of death.

00:11:59.640 But first, let's talk about something beautiful,

00:13:36.560 This was the brilliance

00:13:39.320 of this Ralph Northam

00:13:40.360 Democrat strategy.

00:13:41.640 First of all,

00:13:43.200 who tipped off the press

00:13:44.480 about this photograph?

00:13:45.700 I don't think they just

00:13:46.680 coincidentally discovered

00:13:48.280 this photograph a day

00:13:50.140 after Ralph Northam

00:13:52.020 exposed the entire

00:13:53.260 Democrats' abortion position,

00:13:54.900 which is to kill babies.

00:13:57.080 After they're born,

00:13:58.100 as they're being born,

00:13:59.140 right before they're born,

00:14:00.340 he exposed abortion

00:14:02.100 for what it really is,

00:14:03.300 which is infanticide,

00:14:04.560 the killing of babies.

00:14:05.660 A day later,

00:14:06.620 his career is over

00:14:07.680 because of a photograph

00:14:08.820 that someone obviously

00:14:10.060 had for a long time

00:14:11.240 and they were sitting on it,

00:14:12.800 sitting on ammo,

00:14:13.840 just waiting to use it.

00:14:15.740 So who tipped off the press?

00:14:16.860 According to reports now,

00:14:18.220 it was a concerned citizen,

00:14:20.720 not a political opponent.

00:14:23.020 And this is from

00:14:23.660 Big League Politics,

00:14:24.580 which published this.

00:14:25.600 Quote,

00:14:25.800 a concerned citizen,

00:14:26.700 not a political opponent,

00:14:27.960 came to us and pointed this out.

00:14:29.820 I think there's a lot there.

00:14:32.380 How it's being reported now

00:14:34.800 is that it was

00:14:35.180 a medical school classmate

00:14:36.360 who was outraged

00:14:37.500 by the infanticide comments.

00:14:39.120 But how was the medical school

00:14:40.300 classmate outraged?

00:14:41.560 Because he's pro-life

00:14:42.560 or because he's a Democrat?

00:14:43.780 I don't know.

00:14:44.960 The language here,

00:14:46.060 a concerned citizen,

00:14:47.120 not a political opponent,

00:14:49.400 makes me think

00:14:50.140 maybe this wasn't

00:14:51.040 a political opponent.

00:14:51.960 Maybe this was a Democrat.

00:14:54.280 Maybe this tip

00:14:55.020 came from a Democrat

00:14:55.940 who wanted to get abortion

00:14:57.800 and post-birth abortion

00:14:59.860 and infanticide

00:15:00.800 out of the headlines

00:15:02.040 because it looks really,

00:15:03.120 really bad for Democrats.

00:15:05.340 You know,

00:15:06.040 we talked about this

00:15:07.020 on the show last time

00:15:07.940 on Thursday.

00:15:08.660 For so long,

00:15:09.900 the leftists had us argue

00:15:11.620 pro-life

00:15:12.300 at the moment of conception

00:15:13.840 where the majority

00:15:15.860 of Americans

00:15:16.480 support legal abortion

00:15:17.980 three days after conception,

00:15:20.000 two weeks after conception,

00:15:21.000 whatever.

00:15:22.200 But the logical conclusion

00:15:23.640 of that

00:15:24.100 is at the day of birth

00:15:25.080 or the day after birth

00:15:26.220 or the day before birth.

00:15:27.820 And now,

00:15:28.640 because of guys

00:15:29.220 like Ralph Northam

00:15:30.060 and Andrew Cuomo

00:15:30.800 and other Democrats,

00:15:32.680 we're arguing about abortion

00:15:34.080 at its logical conclusion,

00:15:35.340 which is the baby,

00:15:36.420 which is infanticide.

00:15:38.020 And today,

00:15:39.000 other than on this show,

00:15:39.980 other than on maybe

00:15:40.660 a couple other

00:15:41.280 conservative-leaning shows,

00:15:43.040 people aren't going

00:15:44.340 to be talking about

00:15:45.100 Ralph Northam

00:15:45.820 and infanticide.

00:15:47.100 They're going to be talking

00:15:47.680 about some stupid photo

00:15:48.840 35 years ago

00:15:50.260 that I truly care

00:15:51.540 nothing about

00:15:52.800 that is truly

00:15:53.640 not relevant

00:15:54.880 to our lives,

00:15:59.000 to our public policy,

00:16:00.400 to racial relations,

00:16:02.260 to abortion.

00:16:03.800 Just remember this

00:16:04.880 three, four days ago.

00:16:06.440 This is what we were

00:16:07.280 talking about

00:16:07.820 from Ralph Northam.

00:16:09.120 There are,

00:16:09.680 you know,

00:16:09.940 when we talk about

00:16:10.860 third trimester abortions,

00:16:12.660 these are done

00:16:13.580 with the consent

00:16:15.260 of obviously

00:16:16.220 the mother,

00:16:17.140 with the consent

00:16:17.880 of the physicians,

00:16:19.520 more than one physician,

00:16:20.820 by the way.

00:16:21.940 And it's done in cases

00:16:23.280 where there may be

00:16:24.360 severe deformities,

00:16:25.660 there may be a fetus

00:16:27.300 that's non-viable.

00:16:28.860 So in this particular example,

00:16:30.600 if a mother is in labor,

00:16:32.100 I can tell you exactly

00:16:33.320 what would happen.

00:16:34.960 The infant would be delivered,

00:16:37.080 the infant would be

00:16:38.140 kept comfortable,

00:16:39.680 the infant would be

00:16:40.660 resuscitated,

00:16:41.540 if that's what the

00:16:42.660 mother and the family

00:16:43.920 desired,

00:16:44.820 and then a discussion

00:16:45.720 would ensue

00:16:46.460 between the physicians

00:16:47.760 and the mother.

00:16:48.840 So I think this was

00:16:50.100 really blown out

00:16:50.920 of proportion.

00:16:52.580 So,

00:16:53.180 really blown out

00:16:53.980 of proportion.

00:16:54.600 Well,

00:16:54.920 something was blown

00:16:55.840 out of proportion here,

00:16:57.020 but it wasn't

00:16:57.640 the infanticide comments.

00:17:00.880 I guess it's now

00:17:01.600 been blown out

00:17:02.060 of proportion

00:17:02.460 because of this new thing.

00:17:03.760 I'll say it here.

00:17:04.940 I'm probably going to be

00:17:05.800 called a racist

00:17:06.400 for saying this.

00:17:08.220 I think that it is worse

00:17:09.880 to slaughter babies

00:17:11.200 after they've been born

00:17:12.340 than to wear blackface.

00:17:14.240 I know.

00:17:14.960 I'm going to be kicked

00:17:15.420 off Twitter.

00:17:15.960 I'm going to be kicked

00:17:16.420 off Facebook.

00:17:17.580 You're not allowed

00:17:18.180 to say that my show

00:17:18.980 is going to be canceled.

00:17:20.320 I think,

00:17:20.820 I think actually

00:17:21.840 a lot of reasonable

00:17:22.660 people would agree.

00:17:24.340 It is worse

00:17:25.540 to kill infants

00:17:27.820 after they've been born

00:17:29.200 in 2019

00:17:30.240 than it is

00:17:32.220 to have worn blackface

00:17:34.180 in 1984.

00:17:35.300 That's what I think.

00:17:37.720 Call me crazy.

00:17:38.480 Call me crazy.

00:17:39.220 But of course,

00:17:39.620 everybody thinks that.

00:17:40.760 And the leak strategy worked.

00:17:42.600 We're now talking

00:17:43.300 about blackface,

00:17:44.120 which everybody can condemn.

00:17:45.500 Democrats can go out

00:17:46.600 and condemn.

00:17:47.620 Democrat politicians,

00:17:49.080 presidential candidates

00:17:49.900 can go and condemn him,

00:17:51.000 call for him to resign,

00:17:52.020 rather than

00:17:53.020 talking about

00:17:54.740 infants who have been

00:17:55.700 born alive

00:17:56.360 who are now being killed,

00:17:57.580 which Democrats

00:17:58.240 can't condemn.

00:18:00.140 The Democrat

00:18:01.300 presidential candidates

00:18:02.260 who have announced

00:18:02.880 and who haven't announced

00:18:03.680 have been very quiet

00:18:05.000 about these abortion bills

00:18:06.180 in New York

00:18:07.140 and possibly in Rhode Island

00:18:08.880 and in Virginia,

00:18:10.500 the ones that allow you

00:18:11.380 to kill a baby

00:18:11.960 as it's being born

00:18:12.660 or I guess even after

00:18:13.860 it's been born.

00:18:15.420 They can't talk about that

00:18:16.600 because if they come out

00:18:17.380 and say that's too far,

00:18:19.920 then they create

00:18:20.900 a losing issue

00:18:21.540 for Democrats.

00:18:22.380 They're going to lose

00:18:22.980 the primaries.

00:18:24.300 And the question

00:18:24.960 isn't obviously

00:18:25.840 then going to be,

00:18:27.160 well,

00:18:27.400 if it's too late

00:18:28.340 to kill a baby

00:18:29.060 on the day it's being born

00:18:30.260 or the day after

00:18:31.440 it's been born,

00:18:32.420 what about the day

00:18:33.520 before it's been born?

00:18:35.280 What about the week

00:18:35.960 before it's been born?

00:18:37.440 What about at 26 weeks?

00:18:38.800 Now you can kill a baby

00:18:39.640 at 26 weeks

00:18:40.340 in a whole lot of places.

00:18:42.680 Women who are 26 weeks pregnant

00:18:44.300 have a giant belly.

00:18:46.120 You can feel the baby kicking.

00:18:47.580 You can see on 3D sonograms

00:18:49.120 that it's clearly a baby.

00:18:51.440 What about that?

00:18:53.680 And it also,

00:18:54.700 it also,

00:18:55.420 this leak strategy,

00:18:56.900 which was so good,

00:18:58.200 puts Republicans

00:18:58.980 on the defensive

00:19:01.100 because we expressly,

00:19:03.680 we very explicitly

00:19:04.720 do not hold people's

00:19:06.420 30-year-old yearbooks

00:19:07.500 against them.

00:19:08.300 This was the whole

00:19:09.140 Brett Kavanaugh incident

00:19:10.280 was that Brett Kavanaugh

00:19:12.500 wrote about chugging beers

00:19:13.840 in his high school yearbook

00:19:15.320 from the 80s

00:19:16.240 and Republicans

00:19:17.620 rightly pointed out

00:19:18.680 who cares what he wrote

00:19:19.440 in his high school yearbook,

00:19:20.720 who cares what he did

00:19:21.640 in the 80s,

00:19:22.300 I care what's happening now.

00:19:24.160 So,

00:19:24.600 just sort of by principle,

00:19:26.700 Republicans

00:19:27.180 don't want to condemn people

00:19:28.880 for things that happened

00:19:29.700 30 years ago,

00:19:30.680 especially if they've changed,

00:19:31.920 especially if they've said

00:19:32.840 that they're sorry.

00:19:33.520 I don't care.

00:19:34.320 I don't care if this guy

00:19:35.560 wore blackface

00:19:37.160 35 years ago.

00:19:38.560 I don't care if he wore

00:19:39.920 the Ku Klux Klan hood

00:19:41.200 35 years ago,

00:19:42.400 especially because

00:19:42.780 he's a Democrat governor

00:19:43.700 and basically all of them

00:19:44.780 wore the Ku Klux Klan hood

00:19:47.100 for the majority

00:19:48.900 of the existence

00:19:49.580 of the Ku Klux Klan.

00:19:50.700 What I care about is,

00:19:51.900 is he sorry for it?

00:19:53.320 Has he changed?

00:19:54.760 Is he doing things

00:19:56.060 as governor

00:19:56.540 that are discriminatory

00:19:58.180 toward people

00:19:58.620 of other races?

00:19:59.600 Is he oppressing people?

00:20:01.600 If he's doing that,

00:20:02.700 I'm much more concerned

00:20:03.760 about that.

00:20:04.420 He's obviously oppressing

00:20:05.700 one class of people,

00:20:07.220 namely babies.

00:20:09.200 Or babies who are not wanted.

00:20:11.220 Or babies,

00:20:11.700 he says in that video,

00:20:12.520 he says,

00:20:12.820 look,

00:20:13.340 we're not killing

00:20:14.060 the good babies.

00:20:14.900 We're killing

00:20:15.420 those disabled babies.

00:20:17.200 Nobody wants

00:20:17.940 a disabled baby.

00:20:19.460 Who wants that?

00:20:21.680 Nobody wants a baby

00:20:22.780 who has a mental

00:20:24.220 or physical deformity.

00:20:25.320 No,

00:20:25.680 come on.

00:20:26.700 That,

00:20:27.040 I care a lot more

00:20:27.940 about that.

00:20:29.720 So now Democrats,

00:20:31.220 by switching up this story

00:20:32.420 on Ralph Northam,

00:20:33.480 they're trying,

00:20:34.300 trying at least

00:20:34.980 to argue on terms

00:20:36.320 that they can win on.

00:20:38.300 These are not comparable things.

00:20:40.760 And it's,

00:20:41.000 it's also worth pointing out

00:20:42.240 as we talk about

00:20:43.100 this,

00:20:43.740 these abortion laws,

00:20:44.720 which are growing

00:20:45.260 around the country now.

00:20:46.400 When we talk about them,

00:20:47.660 we should make clear

00:20:48.660 that there are

00:20:50.120 real differences

00:20:51.640 between arguing over

00:20:53.240 these bills

00:20:54.520 and arguing over

00:20:55.440 other Democrat policies.

00:20:57.160 I always refrain

00:20:58.820 or I am reluctant

00:20:59.860 to call things evil,

00:21:02.060 to call people evil,

00:21:03.820 to condemn people

00:21:04.760 categorically

00:21:05.600 because they want

00:21:07.680 to raise taxes,

00:21:08.700 because,

00:21:09.160 even because of

00:21:09.960 awful political ideologies

00:21:11.620 like socialism.

00:21:12.820 I,

00:21:13.100 I like to point out

00:21:14.640 that people who are

00:21:15.560 fond of socialism

00:21:16.660 usually do so

00:21:17.500 because they're ignorant,

00:21:18.860 because maybe

00:21:20.000 they have good intentions,

00:21:20.780 but the road to hell

00:21:21.620 is paved in good intentions.

00:21:23.340 This is different.

00:21:25.040 These abortion bills,

00:21:26.440 so-called abortion bills,

00:21:27.500 and really infanticide bills

00:21:29.380 are different.

00:21:30.920 They are categorically evil.

00:21:33.180 They are categorically barbaric.

00:21:35.940 They are evil

00:21:36.940 down to the core.

00:21:37.940 They're horrific.

00:21:39.000 They transcend

00:21:39.740 mere political difference.

00:21:41.680 And we should talk

00:21:42.480 about it that way.

00:21:43.160 It is pure barbarism.

00:21:45.600 The people who support that

00:21:47.100 should not be permitted

00:21:48.480 into polite society.

00:21:49.580 People who vote

00:21:51.160 to support that,

00:21:52.620 to support the killing

00:21:53.400 of babies after they've been born,

00:21:55.000 should be ostracized.

00:21:56.880 They should probably

00:21:57.580 be deported,

00:21:58.880 at least.

00:21:59.840 They should be held

00:22:00.600 to criminal standards.

00:22:01.580 There should be laws

00:22:02.420 passed against

00:22:03.400 this sort of thing.

00:22:04.600 They should be held

00:22:05.140 to criminal standards.

00:22:06.960 It is wickedness,

00:22:08.660 total evil,

00:22:09.640 depravity.

00:22:11.320 That's what that guy did,

00:22:12.640 Ralph Northam.

00:22:13.300 That's what he said

00:22:13.960 on that radio show,

00:22:14.980 is we should allow babies

00:22:16.460 to be born,

00:22:17.140 and then if they have

00:22:18.200 a deformity,

00:22:19.160 or if their parents

00:22:20.220 don't like them,

00:22:21.220 then their parents

00:22:21.860 should be able to kill them

00:22:22.960 right on the table

00:22:24.420 while they're smiling up

00:22:26.140 at their little mothers.

00:22:27.240 That's what he said.

00:22:28.220 That is pure evil.

00:22:31.560 And the Democrats

00:22:32.620 have us not talking

00:22:34.060 about that.

00:22:34.880 They have us talking

00:22:35.780 about a guy wearing

00:22:37.340 a racially insensitive

00:22:39.040 costume 35 years ago.

00:22:42.920 Brilliantly done.

00:22:43.820 My hat goes off

00:22:45.040 to those cynical,

00:22:47.680 depraved political strategists

00:22:52.600 who managed to do that.

00:22:53.660 It was really,

00:22:54.460 really well done

00:22:55.260 and pretty horrific.

00:22:57.840 It was really,

00:22:58.680 really,

00:22:59.100 really cynical

00:23:02.660 and really effective.

00:23:04.120 Now, the reason,

00:23:04.800 the reason that

00:23:05.540 Northam's comments

00:23:06.540 are so dangerous

00:23:07.640 for Democrats

00:23:08.240 is that they describe

00:23:09.460 the reality of abortion,

00:23:10.600 and there's a new series

00:23:11.300 coming out

00:23:11.820 from Live Action

00:23:12.900 which shows this beautifully.

00:23:15.820 It's really astounding.

00:23:16.960 When you have arguments

00:23:17.820 with people,

00:23:18.260 when you have political

00:23:18.880 debates with people,

00:23:19.900 you never change their mind.

00:23:21.540 But this issue,

00:23:22.480 as I say time and again,

00:23:24.060 is different.

00:23:25.020 I was having a debate

00:23:25.760 at Politicon

00:23:26.260 with Democrats like,

00:23:27.420 what's his name,

00:23:28.440 Bakari Sellers,

00:23:29.780 a few others.

00:23:30.380 They said,

00:23:30.620 we need to meet in the middle.

00:23:31.540 I said,

00:23:31.780 you can't meet in the middle

00:23:32.480 on abortion.

00:23:33.320 He said,

00:23:33.660 you're right.

00:23:34.560 That's what you can't.

00:23:35.460 That's a different kind of it.

00:23:36.620 This is a different kind of issue.

00:23:37.900 We'll get to that in a second.

00:23:39.260 We'll get to antinatalism.

00:23:40.620 We'll get to the Indian man

00:23:41.560 who's suing his parents

00:23:42.440 for giving birth to him

00:23:43.620 without his consent.

00:23:45.060 We will get to

00:23:45.860 the Holocaust paradox,

00:23:47.720 how life may involve

00:23:48.940 a lot of suffering,

00:23:49.680 but suffering makes us stronger.

00:23:51.200 We'll get to all of that,

00:23:52.180 providence and politics.

00:23:53.220 But first,

00:23:54.140 let's thank

00:23:54.700 We the People holsters.

00:23:56.500 I love

00:23:57.440 We the People holsters.

00:23:58.520 They design everything in-house.

00:24:00.440 They offer custom-made holsters,

00:24:01.940 all produced in the USA.

00:24:03.540 They design them in-house,

00:24:05.100 which means they don't use

00:24:05.720 any third-party molds

00:24:06.660 for their holsters.

00:24:07.440 Instead,

00:24:08.040 they design every unique mold

00:24:09.280 in Las Vegas

00:24:10.100 to order the best fit

00:24:11.740 for each and every firearm

00:24:13.820 perfectly.

00:24:14.640 They constantly update designs.

00:24:16.600 They add new designs

00:24:17.660 every month,

00:24:18.240 and that lets them

00:24:18.860 stay up to date

00:24:19.520 on the newest models

00:24:20.360 that come out.

00:24:21.160 We the People holsters

00:24:21.820 even have their own

00:24:22.420 3D design team,

00:24:23.500 which measures

00:24:24.020 every micro-millimeter

00:24:25.620 of their guns

00:24:26.420 to ensure the perfect fit.

00:24:28.900 You can easily adjust

00:24:30.060 the cant and ride

00:24:30.820 of your holster

00:24:31.340 so that it will fit

00:24:32.100 comfortably and securely

00:24:32.860 at all times,

00:24:33.540 and you're able to place

00:24:34.360 the holster on your waistband

00:24:35.640 and change the angle.

00:24:36.960 They're just really,

00:24:37.660 really high quality.

00:24:38.940 If you're going

00:24:39.400 to protect yourself,

00:24:40.480 if you're going

00:24:40.780 to exercise

00:24:41.260 your Second Amendment rights,

00:24:42.600 if you're going

00:24:43.240 to put yourself

00:24:44.360 in a situation

00:24:45.120 where maybe you need

00:24:47.060 to defend your life,

00:24:47.960 maybe you need

00:24:48.320 to defend your family,

00:24:49.620 don't cheap out

00:24:50.440 on the holster.

00:24:51.060 That would be insane.

00:24:52.400 Don't get some generic mold

00:24:56.180 that might not work.

00:24:57.940 You get these wonderful

00:24:58.920 custom-printed designs.

00:25:00.160 We the People holsters

00:25:00.760 start at just $37 a piece.

00:25:02.840 a lifetime guarantee.

00:26:28.000 really good

00:26:28.540 where they're now

00:26:29.620 stuck

00:26:30.400 defending the

00:26:31.800 indefensible

00:26:32.500 infanticide

00:26:33.340 and on top of that,

00:26:34.720 they're wearing

00:26:35.200 KKK hoods again.

00:26:36.260 You thought those days

00:26:36.880 were over.

00:26:37.320 They're not.

00:26:37.940 They're really not

00:26:38.780 looking great right now.

00:26:40.360 Go to DailyWire.com.

00:26:41.340 Get your Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:26:42.180 We'll be right back.

00:26:52.560 The reason that

00:26:53.660 Ralph Northam's interview there

00:26:55.200 is so dangerous

00:26:56.340 for Democrats,

00:26:57.260 current Democrat politicians,

00:26:59.020 the Democrats

00:26:59.580 running for president,

00:27:00.500 is because they describe

00:27:01.660 the reality of abortion.

00:27:03.700 The pro-abortion

00:27:04.580 activists

00:27:05.900 always use jargon.

00:27:07.320 Whenever people use

00:27:08.020 jargon and euphemisms,

00:27:09.120 you know that they're

00:27:09.640 hiding something from you.

00:27:11.120 They'll say things,

00:27:11.860 when they describe abortion

00:27:12.840 in the pro-abortion

00:27:14.860 activist movement,

00:27:15.820 they'll say,

00:27:16.180 well,

00:27:16.940 we use

00:27:17.920 certain tools

00:27:20.460 and employ certain tools

00:27:22.000 to

00:27:22.900 find the cranium

00:27:25.160 and then we remove

00:27:26.300 the product of pregnancy

00:27:27.800 from the uterus.

00:27:29.300 They all make it

00:27:29.740 very clinical.

00:27:30.280 There was that video

00:27:31.280 of a woman

00:27:31.820 trying to describe

00:27:33.060 abortion to children

00:27:34.060 because she's

00:27:34.740 obviously deranged

00:27:36.000 and she said,

00:27:37.940 it just,

00:27:38.440 you know,

00:27:38.800 it's not a big deal

00:27:39.620 getting an abortion.

00:27:40.580 It's just like

00:27:41.000 a weird body thing,

00:27:43.400 direct quote.

00:27:44.260 It's kind of like

00:27:45.000 going to the dentist,

00:27:46.000 you know,

00:27:46.160 it's just a clinical,

00:27:46.960 but it's obviously

00:27:47.900 not like that.

00:27:49.400 So you hear all

00:27:50.240 of the clinical

00:27:50.900 euphemisms,

00:27:52.180 jargon,

00:27:52.920 that the pro-abortion

00:27:53.720 crowd uses

00:27:54.340 and then what does

00:27:55.100 Ralph Northam say?

00:27:55.940 Because he's obviously

00:27:56.880 not a terribly intelligent man,

00:27:58.460 so when he's out there

00:27:59.700 talking on the radio,

00:28:00.520 he says,

00:28:00.780 yeah,

00:28:01.160 the baby's born

00:28:01.980 and then we leave it

00:28:02.600 on a table

00:28:03.040 and then we kill it

00:28:03.720 if we want to.

00:28:06.180 He's the more honest person.

00:28:07.840 He's the one telling you

00:28:08.720 what it is.

00:28:09.200 At least he's being honest.

00:28:10.540 All that jargon

00:28:11.340 is very dishonest.

00:28:13.220 So Live Action,

00:28:14.520 pro-life organization,

00:28:15.840 has this new series,

00:28:16.920 video series,

00:28:17.620 where they go up to people

00:28:18.640 and they say,

00:28:18.940 what do you think

00:28:19.280 about abortion?

00:28:20.080 And then the people say,

00:28:21.920 well,

00:28:22.120 I support it mostly.

00:28:23.200 I think it's basically fine

00:28:24.220 and, you know,

00:28:25.020 you should have the right

00:28:25.700 to choose

00:28:26.300 and blah,

00:28:26.800 but whatever.

00:28:27.640 And then they show them

00:28:28.920 videos of what an abortion is,

00:28:31.740 what it does.

00:28:33.200 The videos,

00:28:33.640 obviously the videos

00:28:34.220 are not being shown in here

00:28:35.660 because they're pretty graphic.

00:28:37.400 And then instantly,

00:28:38.840 the people change their mind.

00:28:40.520 This never happens

00:28:41.400 in political debate.

00:28:42.260 It happens over time,

00:28:43.380 maybe.

00:28:44.080 It's very hard

00:28:44.720 to convince someone

00:28:45.320 except on this issue,

00:28:46.880 which is different.

00:28:48.500 Check it out.

00:28:49.440 What are your thoughts

00:28:50.120 about abortion?

00:28:50.680 I think everyone

00:28:53.340 should have a right to it.

00:28:55.600 It's our body.

00:28:57.100 It's our decision, right?

00:28:58.720 So we want to go ahead

00:29:00.380 with the pregnancy

00:29:01.020 or to abort it.

00:29:02.860 It should be solely

00:29:03.740 on the person

00:29:04.380 who's carrying the baby.

00:29:05.560 So, yeah,

00:29:06.100 that's what I feel about it.

00:29:07.280 Would you both support abortion

00:29:09.080 all the way up

00:29:09.680 to the moment of birth?

00:29:11.260 Oh, yeah, I do.

00:29:12.200 I do, yes.

00:29:14.180 So now she's watching

00:29:15.560 this video.

00:29:16.480 You can see certain images

00:29:17.600 from the video

00:29:18.380 on how it's being done,

00:29:19.800 some graphics,

00:29:20.680 one word,

00:29:22.520 your thoughts

00:29:22.940 on what you saw?

00:29:25.700 That was heart-wrenching,

00:29:28.300 I guess.

00:29:28.880 I mean,

00:29:29.800 yeah, I mean,

00:29:30.820 until you see

00:29:32.220 something like that,

00:29:33.360 you don't often think

00:29:35.960 that you're going

00:29:36.400 to change your opinion,

00:29:37.360 right?

00:29:37.680 I mean,

00:29:38.140 that's something

00:29:40.060 I would never want

00:29:42.020 anyone to go through,

00:29:43.060 right?

00:29:43.260 Not myself,

00:29:44.040 not her,

00:29:44.500 not anyone.

00:29:45.180 I'm a mom to one,

00:29:46.460 right?

00:29:46.840 And I had no idea

00:29:49.060 this is how abortion

00:29:49.900 takes place,

00:29:50.820 right?

00:29:51.460 Looking at that video

00:29:52.700 and the way

00:29:53.920 it was performed,

00:29:56.440 yeah,

00:29:56.700 it's an eye-opener.

00:29:58.060 So,

00:29:58.600 no,

00:29:59.100 I don't think

00:29:59.940 any kid,

00:30:00.920 any baby,

00:30:01.680 any infant,

00:30:02.500 I mean,

00:30:03.420 any fetus

00:30:04.260 should go through that,

00:30:05.340 no.

00:30:06.680 Listen,

00:30:07.160 and she's so confused.

00:30:08.460 You can hear,

00:30:08.740 I mean,

00:30:08.840 that's how you can really tell

00:30:09.800 that this is genuine.

00:30:10.940 She's saying,

00:30:11.400 I don't think any infant,

00:30:12.280 I mean,

00:30:12.520 I mean,

00:30:12.840 fetus,

00:30:13.840 but even if it's,

00:30:14.680 I still don't think

00:30:15.400 it should go through that.

00:30:16.260 By the way,

00:30:16.620 fetus means offspring.

00:30:17.940 It's a Latin word

00:30:18.580 that means offspring

00:30:19.680 of a parent.

00:30:22.040 Really effective tool

00:30:23.580 and this is always

00:30:24.720 the tool.

00:30:26.040 I mean,

00:30:26.440 when you show

00:30:27.680 the reality,

00:30:28.760 when you show

00:30:29.720 the images,

00:30:31.680 that is what is going

00:30:32.700 to convince people.

00:30:33.600 If you just have a debate,

00:30:34.980 you know,

00:30:35.480 you kind of have

00:30:35.920 a bull session

00:30:36.660 freshman year

00:30:37.440 where you're debating

00:30:38.600 these abstract

00:30:40.160 ideological ideas

00:30:42.400 of abortion

00:30:43.000 and you say,

00:30:43.680 well,

00:30:44.760 isn't abortion

00:30:45.820 sort of like

00:30:46.960 if a woman

00:30:48.000 is chained

00:30:48.900 to a hospital bed

00:30:50.100 and she's connected

00:30:51.180 to a parasite

00:30:52.140 which she didn't ask

00:30:53.600 to be there

00:30:54.220 and the parasite

00:30:54.800 is morally licit

00:30:56.340 to,

00:30:56.720 well,

00:30:57.280 first of all,

00:30:57.780 these thought experiments

00:30:58.860 are ridiculous.

00:30:59.940 They're not terribly

00:31:00.780 good analogies for it

00:31:02.160 but rather than use

00:31:04.540 some silly thought experiment,

00:31:06.440 how about we just look

00:31:07.260 at what an abortion is?

00:31:09.320 They won't let you do that.

00:31:10.480 The left doesn't want you

00:31:11.300 to do that

00:31:11.780 because when you look

00:31:12.660 at the reality of it,

00:31:13.840 when you see the story

00:31:15.080 of what's going on,

00:31:16.480 that's going to make you pro-life.

00:31:19.160 For all but the most

00:31:20.560 psychopathic people,

00:31:22.480 that will make you pro-life.

00:31:24.720 It has to.

00:31:28.140 This is the difference

00:31:29.240 between an ideological manifesto

00:31:31.620 and a narrative.

00:31:33.340 This is why politics

00:31:34.420 is downstream of culture.

00:31:35.860 This is why the culture

00:31:36.660 matters so much

00:31:37.560 is because we live in stories.

00:31:40.480 Ideological manifestos,

00:31:41.980 doctrines,

00:31:42.660 boom, boom, boom,

00:31:43.460 five bullet points

00:31:44.360 that describe all of life.

00:31:46.180 They're always wrong.

00:31:47.380 That's why ideologies

00:31:48.120 are always wrong.

00:31:49.300 It's because they can't contain

00:31:50.820 the richness of life.

00:31:54.160 Stories can get

00:31:55.680 at the richness of life.

00:31:56.660 This is why myths

00:31:57.460 describe life so much.

00:31:59.040 This is why Christianity

00:32:00.100 is the true myth.

00:32:00.960 It's the greatest story

00:32:01.640 ever told.

00:32:02.960 The stories do it.

00:32:03.860 And when we watch

00:32:04.640 the narrative

00:32:05.140 of what an abortion is,

00:32:06.880 there's no ambiguity.

00:32:08.420 I don't have to wonder,

00:32:09.600 what's a cranium?

00:32:10.500 What's this tool look like?

00:32:12.860 How is,

00:32:13.700 what is a fetus

00:32:14.680 or an embryo

00:32:15.540 or a blasto,

00:32:17.460 blastula,

00:32:18.540 or this or that?

00:32:19.320 What is,

00:32:19.940 no, it's a baby.

00:32:20.740 It's obviously a baby.

00:32:22.000 And it's obviously being killed.

00:32:23.360 And it's obviously

00:32:23.720 trying not to be killed.

00:32:25.140 And that's what it is.

00:32:26.540 That's the story.

00:32:28.300 How you feel about abortion

00:32:29.800 really comes down

00:32:31.020 to how you feel about life.

00:32:33.560 That's what it's really about.

00:32:34.580 It's not about

00:32:35.140 what you think

00:32:35.580 about medical procedures.

00:32:36.820 It's not about

00:32:37.360 necessarily even abstract

00:32:39.320 ideological principles.

00:32:41.080 It's,

00:32:41.360 what do you think about life?

00:32:42.840 Is life ultimately good?

00:32:44.880 Is life ultimately a comedy?

00:32:46.900 Is it significant?

00:32:48.240 Does it have purpose?

00:32:50.100 Is your life geared

00:32:51.000 toward a purpose?

00:32:52.360 Or,

00:32:53.320 is life a tale told

00:32:54.420 by an idiot

00:32:55.020 full of sound and fury

00:32:56.020 signifying nothing at all?

00:32:58.000 Which is it?

00:32:59.740 Those are the two views.

00:33:01.340 The traditional view,

00:33:02.520 the Christian view,

00:33:03.240 the religious view broadly

00:33:05.060 is that life has a purpose.

00:33:07.340 It has a telos.

00:33:08.440 The classic ancient view,

00:33:10.200 the Aristotelian view,

00:33:11.320 there is a purpose to life.

00:33:12.620 There is a significance to life.

00:33:14.420 The modern and postmodern view

00:33:16.080 is that it's nothing.

00:33:17.000 It's an accident.

00:33:17.920 We're just a bunch

00:33:18.720 of weird molecules

00:33:20.020 bouncing together

00:33:21.220 that we accidentally

00:33:22.180 ended up in this

00:33:23.540 semi-conscious,

00:33:25.140 probably not even

00:33:26.340 free state.

00:33:27.680 It's probably all

00:33:28.400 determined anyway.

00:33:29.680 And then we delude ourselves

00:33:31.040 with silly illusions

00:33:32.420 like love

00:33:33.360 and virtue

00:33:34.720 and purpose.

00:33:36.120 But it's all just ridiculous

00:33:37.740 and it's really full of suffering

00:33:39.580 and it's really

00:33:40.200 just awful.

00:33:41.240 It would be better

00:33:41.960 not to be born.

00:33:43.700 There is an Indian guy

00:33:45.120 who is now

00:33:46.220 embodying this

00:33:47.580 in a really farcical

00:33:48.680 and dark way.

00:33:49.840 He is suing his parents

00:33:51.680 for giving birth to him

00:33:53.460 without his consent.

00:33:56.340 His name is Ralph,

00:33:57.360 I'm sorry,

00:33:57.760 Raphael Samuel.

00:33:58.640 He says he has

00:33:59.600 a great relationship

00:34:00.340 with his parents

00:34:01.020 but he's compared

00:34:02.500 having children

00:34:03.140 to kidnapping

00:34:03.840 and slavery.

00:34:05.100 He's leading a movement

00:34:06.200 called anti-natalism

00:34:07.700 and when I first saw this

00:34:09.920 I just assumed

00:34:11.320 it was a joke.

00:34:12.020 I assumed it was satire

00:34:13.040 but the weird thing

00:34:14.940 about the age

00:34:15.620 that we're living in

00:34:16.320 is that it's not clear.

00:34:17.320 You have a sitting governor

00:34:18.300 describing how it's

00:34:19.800 perfectly normal

00:34:20.680 and good

00:34:21.580 to kill babies

00:34:22.680 after they've been born

00:34:23.480 if you don't want them.

00:34:24.900 So in that world,

00:34:26.260 if this is satire,

00:34:27.300 it's very good satire.

00:34:28.700 I'm not convinced

00:34:29.360 that it is.

00:34:30.440 This guy,

00:34:31.160 Raphael,

00:34:31.920 says,

00:34:32.440 quote,

00:34:33.460 my life has been amazing

00:34:34.620 but I don't see

00:34:35.600 why I should put

00:34:36.180 another life

00:34:36.800 through the rigmarole

00:34:37.720 of school

00:34:38.420 and finding a career

00:34:39.780 especially when

00:34:40.580 they didn't ask

00:34:41.340 to exist.

00:34:42.280 He's got this campaign

00:34:43.100 he's posting it

00:34:43.780 on the internet

00:34:44.320 where he says

00:34:45.140 if parents truly know

00:34:46.440 what is good

00:34:46.840 for their children,

00:34:48.080 why did they have them?

00:34:49.740 Isn't forcing a child

00:34:50.900 into this world

00:34:51.640 and then forcing it

00:34:52.680 to have a career

00:34:53.380 kidnapping

00:34:54.300 and slavery?

00:34:55.980 The only reason

00:34:57.120 your children

00:34:58.040 are facing problems

00:34:59.080 is because you had them

00:35:00.300 which is true.

00:35:02.240 That's why the children

00:35:03.140 have problems

00:35:03.720 is because you gave them life.

00:35:05.860 So he's right

00:35:06.940 in that way

00:35:07.520 but what it comes down to

00:35:09.660 is is life

00:35:10.200 ultimately a good thing

00:35:11.340 or is life ultimately

00:35:12.180 a bad thing?

00:35:12.860 There's a great little poem

00:35:14.160 by Robert Frost

00:35:15.300 called A Question

00:35:15.980 and the question

00:35:17.340 the poem reads

00:35:18.600 look me in the stars

00:35:20.480 and tell me truly

00:35:21.480 men of earth

00:35:22.060 if all the soul

00:35:23.360 and body scars

00:35:24.300 were not too much

00:35:25.100 to pay for birth

00:35:25.860 and what's funny

00:35:27.440 about that poem

00:35:28.000 is it's not a question

00:35:29.020 it's actually an imperative

00:35:30.180 right?

00:35:30.460 He's actually telling you

00:35:31.260 to do something

00:35:31.840 and of course

00:35:33.020 the person who is

00:35:34.880 telling you this

00:35:35.480 it seems to be

00:35:36.180 the voice of God

00:35:36.940 the voice of your creator

00:35:37.940 and you look up

00:35:39.160 in the stars

00:35:39.740 I've had this experience

00:35:41.200 I know

00:35:41.620 probably all of you

00:35:43.160 have too

00:35:43.600 and you think

00:35:44.460 gosh

00:35:44.880 life has some suffering

00:35:45.800 in it

00:35:46.160 but there is a

00:35:47.060 transcendent beauty

00:35:48.460 and awesomeness

00:35:49.740 to life

00:35:50.940 to this world

00:35:51.680 that makes it all

00:35:53.220 worthwhile

00:35:53.820 life is good

00:35:55.740 that's the takeaway

00:35:57.060 life is good

00:35:57.800 and so there's

00:35:59.360 that aspect of it

00:36:00.300 the life is good view

00:36:02.660 juxtaposed with this

00:36:04.040 post-modern nihilist view

00:36:06.080 that life is all suffering

00:36:07.820 absurd

00:36:08.440 meaningless

00:36:09.020 awful

00:36:09.720 despair

00:36:11.520 but then there's also

00:36:13.320 the idolatry of consent

00:36:14.780 consent is the word of the

00:36:16.360 it's all we hear about

00:36:17.260 is consent

00:36:17.860 it's the ultimate good

00:36:19.080 we create an idol

00:36:20.240 of choice

00:36:20.880 it is

00:36:22.540 the ridiculous conclusion

00:36:23.860 of this idolatry

00:36:25.520 of choice

00:36:26.000 is that you should be able

00:36:27.440 to consent

00:36:28.120 to being born

00:36:29.640 you can't do that

00:36:32.080 when you're just a little

00:36:33.560 glint in your father's eye

00:36:35.020 you know

00:36:36.060 maybe

00:36:36.500 you know

00:36:37.760 your parents are

00:36:39.100 getting a little frisky

00:36:40.000 nobody wants to think about

00:36:40.940 that's not a good image

00:36:41.680 to have in your head

00:36:42.400 you're not able

00:36:43.740 to consent to that

00:36:44.900 because you're

00:36:45.640 born of the

00:36:46.460 product of that love

00:36:47.740 and the Christian view

00:36:49.040 of course

00:36:49.480 is that the whole

00:36:50.460 the whole of creation

00:36:51.340 is a product of love

00:36:52.300 the love that moves

00:36:53.400 the sun and the other stars

00:36:54.600 this

00:36:55.320 is

00:36:56.120 what we see

00:36:57.080 in especially

00:36:57.920 Dante's comedy

00:36:58.800 spells this out

00:36:59.880 very well

00:37:00.620 the love that moves

00:37:02.400 the world and the other stars

00:37:03.380 out of this love

00:37:04.380 is all of the creation

00:37:05.680 this

00:37:07.580 idolatry of consent

00:37:09.440 also undoes

00:37:10.560 a ridiculous premise

00:37:11.600 that we've talked about

00:37:12.580 a few times

00:37:13.380 in the last couple weeks

00:37:14.240 which is this

00:37:15.180 this libertarian premise

00:37:17.100 this hyper individualist premise

00:37:18.520 that you totally

00:37:19.660 own yourself

00:37:20.560 and your body

00:37:21.500 that you

00:37:22.700 this is all me

00:37:23.640 it's all in my possession

00:37:24.780 I am sufficient

00:37:25.760 I am an island unto myself

00:37:27.180 but you don't own that

00:37:28.380 you are created by God

00:37:30.380 you are begotten

00:37:32.360 of your parents

00:37:33.180 you have

00:37:34.580 certain responsibilities

00:37:36.000 not just to your parents

00:37:37.200 not just to your creator

00:37:38.700 to your community

00:37:39.680 as well

00:37:40.140 you have bonds

00:37:40.900 of loyalty

00:37:41.500 and duty

00:37:42.200 we like to

00:37:43.440 because we're a selfish

00:37:44.360 and decadent culture

00:37:45.120 we only like to talk

00:37:45.880 about rights

00:37:46.460 and then we invent

00:37:47.300 a bunch of ridiculous rights

00:37:48.460 I have the right

00:37:49.320 to your labor

00:37:51.420 I have the right

00:37:52.020 to some new

00:37:53.100 technological advancement

00:37:55.220 I have the right

00:37:55.760 to pretend

00:37:56.760 that I'm of a different

00:37:57.500 biological sex

00:37:58.380 I have the right

00:37:58.940 to redefine

00:38:00.100 social institutions

00:38:01.480 I have blah blah blah

00:38:02.340 all these rights

00:38:02.860 what really

00:38:03.940 we should talk about

00:38:04.840 are duties

00:38:05.380 we are born

00:38:06.400 out of love

00:38:07.200 I mean

00:38:07.480 obviously in a very literal sense

00:38:08.880 the love of our parents

00:38:10.040 and the love of

00:38:12.140 our creator

00:38:13.160 for the creation

00:38:13.920 that's what we're born out of

00:38:15.360 and this creates

00:38:16.500 some responsibilities

00:38:17.740 that you should want

00:38:19.000 to embrace

00:38:20.080 out of gratitude

00:38:21.180 veneration

00:38:22.580 gratitude

00:38:23.640 providence

00:38:24.740 you know

00:38:25.460 what gives away the game

00:38:26.840 on this

00:38:27.280 anti-life

00:38:28.400 crusade

00:38:29.660 that the left

00:38:30.080 has gone on

00:38:30.720 is that they come up

00:38:32.380 with different excuses

00:38:33.520 to reach the same conclusion

00:38:34.860 on this anti-natalist

00:38:36.440 movement

00:38:37.260 they also have a

00:38:38.660 meme

00:38:39.100 it says

00:38:39.540 quote

00:38:39.840 should we continue

00:38:41.580 to bring more children

00:38:42.480 in this world

00:38:43.120 and accelerate

00:38:44.100 the process

00:38:44.900 of environmental

00:38:45.600 and social degradation

00:38:47.300 wait a second

00:38:49.500 what argument are we

00:38:50.220 I thought the argument

00:38:50.960 was we shouldn't

00:38:51.520 bring children

00:38:51.940 in the world

00:38:52.340 because it's unfair

00:38:53.060 to them

00:38:53.700 because they didn't

00:38:54.620 consent to it

00:38:55.340 because the world

00:38:56.420 is awful

00:38:56.940 and full of suffering

00:38:57.660 and terrible

00:38:58.140 but now you're saying

00:38:59.080 we shouldn't bring

00:38:59.580 children into the world

00:39:00.380 because it's bad

00:39:01.800 for the awful world

00:39:02.860 which probably shouldn't

00:39:03.740 exist in the first place

00:39:04.640 it seems as though

00:39:06.420 they've reached a conclusion

00:39:07.560 and it's a conclusion

00:39:08.800 in search of a premise

00:39:09.720 the conclusion being

00:39:10.940 life is bad

00:39:12.100 and then the various

00:39:13.460 premises and arguments

00:39:14.360 even if they contradict

00:39:15.280 one another

00:39:15.880 are used to buttress

00:39:18.560 that conclusion

00:39:19.220 this is how a lot of

00:39:20.300 conspiracy theories

00:39:21.120 fall apart

00:39:21.740 conspiracy theories

00:39:22.820 often can sound

00:39:24.200 somewhat convincing

00:39:25.020 and one reason

00:39:26.260 they sometimes fall apart

00:39:27.320 is because

00:39:28.840 you'll have different

00:39:29.700 conspiracy theories

00:39:30.640 disproving

00:39:31.480 one event

00:39:32.620 or arguing against

00:39:33.440 one event

00:39:33.880 but all of the

00:39:34.600 conspiracy theories

00:39:35.340 disagree with one another

00:39:36.460 they all contradict

00:39:37.140 one another

00:39:37.700 and the conspiracists

00:39:39.060 don't care

00:39:39.600 because they've reached

00:39:40.200 a conclusion

00:39:40.760 and they've got

00:39:41.600 a conclusion

00:39:42.000 in search of a premise

00:39:43.180 a conclusion

00:39:43.700 in search of an argument

00:39:45.100 this rhetoric

00:39:45.960 is leading now

00:39:47.020 to the elimination

00:39:48.020 of down syndrome people

00:39:50.000 all throughout the world

00:39:50.880 in Iceland

00:39:51.360 100%

00:39:52.620 statistically 100%

00:39:54.260 of people with down syndrome

00:39:55.080 are killed

00:39:55.580 Denmark

00:39:56.220 it's 98%

00:39:57.240 England

00:39:57.560 it's 90%

00:39:58.380 France 77%

00:39:59.580 the US

00:40:00.260 67%

00:40:01.380 to show

00:40:03.500 that the left

00:40:04.640 rather

00:40:04.940 that this is wrong

00:40:06.060 perhaps

00:40:06.440 we should start

00:40:07.380 using

00:40:07.820 leftist language

00:40:09.100 Matt Walsh

00:40:09.640 had this

00:40:09.920 brilliant

00:40:10.800 phrase

00:40:11.680 that he used

00:40:12.180 the other day

00:40:12.740 referring to

00:40:13.820 undocumented infants

00:40:15.440 he said

00:40:16.220 we should use

00:40:16.620 the left language

00:40:17.260 don't talk about

00:40:17.940 them as babies

00:40:18.480 or fetuses

00:40:19.080 or this or that

00:40:19.680 undocumented infants

00:40:21.180 trying to pass

00:40:22.700 through the border

00:40:23.600 of the birth canal

00:40:24.420 in search of a better life

00:40:25.900 this is what

00:40:27.060 we should talk about

00:40:27.860 the down syndrome

00:40:28.580 community

00:40:29.220 how it's being targeted

00:40:31.080 how it's being persecuted

00:40:32.100 how this is ableist

00:40:33.400 that's a leftist term

00:40:34.580 that means discrimination

00:40:35.620 against people

00:40:37.000 with various disabilities

00:40:38.160 and handicaps

00:40:38.960 actually in this case

00:40:40.940 in the

00:40:41.300 slaughter of down syndrome

00:40:43.420 people

00:40:43.860 that's going on now

00:40:45.100 even in our own country

00:40:46.420 the majority of down syndrome

00:40:47.660 people being killed

00:40:48.360 before they're born

00:40:49.020 that's the one time

00:40:51.460 that these leftist terms

00:40:53.040 can apply

00:40:53.660 these kind of vague

00:40:55.020 leftist slogans

00:40:55.740 the such and such

00:40:56.380 community

00:40:56.960 the such and such

00:40:58.240 victim group

00:40:59.640 they actually are

00:41:00.160 a victim group

00:41:00.680 they actually are being

00:41:01.580 they actually are being

00:41:03.280 wiped out

00:41:03.880 the left insists

00:41:05.460 that anyone who suffers

00:41:06.720 should be killed

00:41:07.420 that's what they're saying

00:41:08.880 that's what the

00:41:09.260 anti-natalism is saying

00:41:10.380 that's what

00:41:11.100 Governor Northam is saying

00:41:12.140 when he talks about

00:41:13.100 deformities

00:41:13.700 and why we should

00:41:14.620 kill people

00:41:15.080 with deformities

00:41:15.900 in part

00:41:17.360 there's a road to hell

00:41:18.420 is paved in good intentions

00:41:20.160 there's a little sliver

00:41:21.160 of that here

00:41:21.720 in a totally evil idea

00:41:23.960 which is

00:41:25.040 that we should

00:41:27.140 not allow people

00:41:28.340 to suffer

00:41:28.820 and death would be

00:41:29.940 better than suffering

00:41:30.620 the trouble is

00:41:31.340 the logical conclusion

00:41:32.320 is that we all suffer

00:41:33.560 so therefore no one

00:41:34.400 should be born

00:41:34.980 there was a study

00:41:35.860 it just came out today

00:41:36.780 in Bloomberg

00:41:37.520 the Holocaust paradox

00:41:39.000 long lives for those

00:41:40.580 who survived

00:41:41.140 the old idea was

00:41:42.260 that people who went

00:41:43.260 through the Holocaust

00:41:43.740 and survived

00:41:44.400 would have shortened lives

00:41:45.500 because they had

00:41:47.880 all this immense suffering

00:41:48.960 you would hear about

00:41:50.460 this a lot

00:41:50.920 and what they're now

00:41:52.300 finding is

00:41:52.920 straight from Bloomberg

00:41:54.000 quote

00:41:54.380 living through a horrendous

00:41:55.580 event like confinement

00:41:56.480 in a concentration camp

00:41:57.600 or prisoner of war camp

00:41:58.720 does create health problems

00:42:00.020 serious enough

00:42:00.560 to shorten

00:42:00.900 most people's lives

00:42:01.800 but those who survive

00:42:03.000 also seem to have

00:42:03.780 other characteristics

00:42:04.600 perhaps a stronger

00:42:05.900 immune system

00:42:06.600 and a more optimistic

00:42:07.340 outlook than the

00:42:08.060 general population

00:42:08.880 that tend to make

00:42:09.900 people live longer

00:42:10.760 new research suggests

00:42:12.120 that such resilience

00:42:13.040 can often overcome

00:42:14.580 scarring

00:42:15.420 and this

00:42:16.760 I mean there is

00:42:18.840 an analysis about this

00:42:20.080 from the American

00:42:20.900 Medical Association

00:42:21.680 we see this again

00:42:22.840 and again

00:42:23.240 Horace Walpole

00:42:24.780 has a great line

00:42:25.580 the English Gothic writer

00:42:27.180 he says

00:42:27.620 life is a comedy

00:42:28.680 to those who think

00:42:29.800 and a tragedy

00:42:30.760 to those who feel

00:42:31.780 we hear this again

00:42:33.460 the light shines

00:42:34.180 in the darkness

00:42:34.760 and the darkness

00:42:35.300 has not overcome it

00:42:36.320 we even hear it

00:42:37.000 in this very popular

00:42:37.960 slogan

00:42:39.580 which is

00:42:40.100 whatever doesn't kill me

00:42:41.160 makes me stronger

00:42:42.540 that we get these

00:42:44.140 the inklings

00:42:44.840 of the same thing

00:42:45.840 politics is downstream

00:42:47.600 of culture

00:42:48.120 culture is downstream

00:42:49.140 of religion

00:42:49.780 and you know

00:42:51.680 Edmund Burke

00:42:52.640 founder of modern

00:42:53.460 conservative thought

00:42:54.100 Russell Kirk later

00:42:55.120 explained that the

00:42:56.140 conservative vision

00:42:56.840 is grounded in

00:42:57.740 veneration

00:42:58.300 and providence

00:42:59.680 one glaring example

00:43:01.960 of this

00:43:02.280 providence

00:43:02.800 the divine order

00:43:03.880 that the world

00:43:05.000 really does make sense

00:43:06.020 that it really does

00:43:06.560 have purpose

00:43:07.180 that it really does

00:43:08.080 it really is good

00:43:09.200 providence

00:43:10.700 one glaring example

00:43:12.540 of this

00:43:13.000 amid all this

00:43:14.380 crazy talk

00:43:15.240 about infanticide

00:43:16.260 actual infanticide

00:43:17.620 killing people

00:43:18.240 after they've been born

00:43:19.360 came out this week

00:43:20.760 every week

00:43:22.260 there are different

00:43:22.880 readings

00:43:23.240 at the Catholic Mass

00:43:24.320 these are not

00:43:25.220 dependent on the

00:43:25.840 news cycle

00:43:26.340 they're not decided

00:43:27.020 by the priest

00:43:27.580 two hours beforehand

00:43:28.420 they've been set

00:43:29.480 long long long

00:43:30.580 in advance

00:43:31.160 and coincidentally

00:43:33.120 or providentially

00:43:34.720 however you like it

00:43:35.520 this is how

00:43:36.860 the entire Mass

00:43:38.260 reading

00:43:38.660 began this week

00:43:40.280 quote

00:43:40.940 the word of the Lord

00:43:42.820 came to me saying

00:43:43.820 before I formed you

00:43:45.460 in the womb

00:43:45.980 I knew you

00:43:46.660 before you were born

00:43:48.060 I dedicated you

00:43:48.960 a prophet to the nations

00:43:50.420 I appointed you

00:43:51.240 but do you

00:43:52.300 gird your loins

00:43:53.160 stand up

00:43:54.000 and tell them

00:43:54.540 all that I command you

00:43:55.540 be not crushed

00:43:56.760 on their account

00:43:57.560 as though

00:43:58.360 I would leave you

00:43:59.480 crushed before them

00:44:00.580 for it is I

00:44:01.900 this day

00:44:03.000 who have made you

00:44:03.920 a fortified city

00:44:04.980 a pillar of iron

00:44:06.260 a wall of brass

00:44:07.340 against the whole land

00:44:08.640 against Judah's kings

00:44:09.860 and princes

00:44:10.340 against its priests

00:44:11.500 and people

00:44:12.020 they will fight against you

00:44:13.860 but not prevail over you

00:44:15.500 for I am with you

00:44:16.700 to deliver you

00:44:17.480 says the Lord

00:44:18.280 amid all talk

00:44:20.540 of infanticide

00:44:21.380 amid all talk

00:44:22.820 of suffering

00:44:23.580 is why we shouldn't

00:44:24.940 live it all

00:44:25.360 why life is ultimately bad

00:44:27.060 providence is a great comfort

00:44:28.560 and comfort means

00:44:29.460 to strengthen

00:44:30.240 we think of comfort

00:44:31.060 as little dolly

00:44:33.160 safe spaces

00:44:34.080 hugging

00:44:34.780 kumbaya

00:44:35.540 that's not what it means

00:44:36.540 it means to strengthen

00:44:38.000 you can comfort people

00:44:40.100 with tough love too

00:44:40.920 it means to strengthen them

00:44:41.980 with come

00:44:43.020 forties

00:44:44.100 strength

00:44:44.880 even when things

00:44:46.580 look bleakest

00:44:47.500 one cannot deny

00:44:49.740 the comforting signs

00:44:50.940 of providence

00:44:51.760 pervading this life

00:44:53.280 which is a gift

00:44:54.580 and a very good thing

00:44:56.180 we'll end on that note

00:44:57.580 and we'll skip the super bowl

00:44:58.540 because everybody else did too

00:45:36.680 Ralph Northam

00:45:37.360 the thing that strikes me

00:45:38.540 is that

00:45:39.280 the left is outraged at him

00:45:41.380 because of an inappropriate costume

00:45:43.100 that he wore 30 years ago

00:45:44.380 they are not outraged

00:45:46.100 about the fact that he advocated

00:45:48.120 for infanticide

00:45:49.220 only a few days ago

00:45:50.360 so what does that tell us

00:45:51.760 about the left

00:45:52.680 also the super bowl

00:45:56.620 of insufferable

00:45:58.140 cringe inducing

00:46:00.120 virtue signaling ads

00:46:01.960 and we're going to go over

00:46:03.540 some of the worst offenders
