00:00:37.740 The NBA is looking to drop the term owner for team owners because the term owner is now apparently racist.

00:00:45.620 We will examine the ramifications of this new change from owning small businesses to owning the libs.

00:00:51.440 Then, a grinder hookup goes horribly wrong when a kinky fantasy turns into assault and robbery. 0.83

00:01:00.300 The Pope has rewritten the Lord's Prayer, and we look back on 100 years of female suffrage.

00:01:05.620 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:07.840 So much suffrage.

00:01:16.940 I hope we have time to get to it at the end of the show because everyone argues over Susan B. Anthony's legacy.

00:01:24.020 Susan B. Anthony, more than any other woman, gave women the right to vote.

00:01:28.200 She was the leading suffragette, and there's a major debate on the right and the left on who gets to own Susan B. Anthony,

00:01:34.580 and I will give you the true answer to that.

00:01:36.860 But first, losing your hair is terrible.

00:01:40.440 Did you know that?

00:01:41.200 Two out of three guys will experience hair loss by the time they are 35,

00:01:44.740 and this is something that really terrifies me because I'm not a huge hulking Adonis of a man.

00:01:49.620 My poofy hair is one of my real perks, you know, to keep sweet little Elisa interested in me.

00:01:55.420 This brings us to Keeps, the easiest and most affordable way to keep the hair that you have.

00:03:23.260 We will get to women's suffrage later. 0.99

00:03:26.400 Right now, we need to talk about a whole other class of victim group.

00:03:30.140 A major change happening in the NBA.

00:03:32.660 A number of NBA teams are trying to drop the word owner from the phrase team owner.

00:03:40.920 You know, if you own an NBA team, you're an owner of an NBA team, right?

00:03:43.580 But apparently, no, that's wrong. That's racist. You're not allowed to be that anymore.

00:03:47.100 So the Philadelphia 76ers rebranded their owners as managing partners.

00:03:53.180 Why are they doing this? Because they say owner is racist because slave owners owned slaves.

00:03:59.320 So therefore, the word owner is ruined forever. You can't use the word owner.

00:04:02.700 So they're managing partners.

00:04:04.160 The trouble is managing partner doesn't mean the same thing as owner.

00:04:07.440 Businesses have managing partners who are not owners and owners who are not managing partners.

00:04:13.080 The LA Clippers are calling their owners the chairman.

00:04:17.500 So the majority stakeholder in the LA Clippers now is chairman.

00:04:21.880 The reason that this is happening, one of the big causes of this is Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors

00:04:28.220 told the HBO sports show The Shop that he found the term racially insensitive and it's got to go.

00:04:34.840 Here's the interview.

00:04:35.340 When your product is purely the labor of people, then owner sounds like something that is of a feudal nature.

00:04:44.860 You shouldn't say owner.

00:04:46.040 I agree.

00:04:46.980 What do you think you should say, Draymond?

00:04:48.600 CEO or chairman.

00:04:50.020 So if that voice sounded familiar, by the way, from the interviewer, that was Jon Stewart.

00:04:54.760 He has come out of his cabin in the woods from Daily Show retirement and he's doing this interview.

00:04:59.520 And he brings up the question.

00:05:01.280 He says the term owner is racist.

00:05:02.960 So they bat around a few different ideas.

00:05:05.560 They say, well, how about majority shareholder?

00:05:08.880 Okay.

00:05:09.320 I mean, a majority shareholder in a slave plantation is also pretty bad too, right?

00:05:12.880 Is that term unacceptable?

00:05:15.380 It's all about the term owner.

00:05:17.400 And Jon Stewart's point is if a business is only about someone else's labor, you shouldn't be an owner because then it's like you own that person.

00:05:28.320 So can a restaurant have an owner?

00:05:31.540 A restaurant is primarily about other people's labor.

00:05:34.080 It's about the waiters and the busboys and the kitchen runners and the cooks and the chef and the manager and the hostess and the cleaning crew.

00:05:45.340 So are restaurants allowed to have owners now or no, that's not anymore.

00:05:48.420 Now, you might say, well, a restaurant provides a physical product too.

00:05:52.880 They provide food.

00:05:53.660 So, therefore, it's not only about somebody else's labor.

00:05:57.360 And basketball, you know, basketball is just about the labor of the basketball players.

00:06:01.880 Also, that isn't true.

00:06:03.580 So basketball is primarily about entertainment.

00:06:06.040 It's primarily about what the basketball players are doing.

00:06:08.400 But there are a ton of tangibles that go along with it.

00:06:10.600 You buy the jersey.

00:06:11.900 You buy the sneakers.

00:06:13.240 You buy the hot dogs at the stadium.

00:06:14.940 You buy the beers.

00:06:15.740 You buy the trading cards.

00:06:16.540 There are a lot of very physical objects that go along with it that are, at least in part, owned by the owners of these teams.

00:06:23.340 Even if it were true, though, let's say that basketball were only about the physical labor of others.

00:06:28.600 And so you've got these team owners and they just own these basketball players.

00:06:34.040 What about Hollywood?

00:06:35.780 What about any other sort of entertainment field?

00:06:39.380 Basketball is primarily about entertainment.

00:06:41.320 You sit down and you watch a basketball game to be entertained.

00:06:44.580 TV shows are also about entertainment.

00:06:46.480 Movies are also about entertainment.

00:06:48.260 Concerts are also about entertainment.

00:06:50.620 Is it racist to call movie studio owners owners?

00:06:54.560 Is it racist to call record label owners owners?

00:06:57.600 No, obviously not.

00:06:59.080 There are two issues that are at play here.

00:07:01.440 There is one, historical ignorance, and two, creeping socialism.

00:07:06.680 The historical ignorance is just over what the term owner means.

00:07:09.820 Obviously, it's true.

00:07:11.740 Slave owners were referred to as owners.

00:07:13.400 People who owned anything else for all of the history of mankind are also referred to as owners.

00:07:18.780 It's not explicitly or even primarily or even frequently or really even ever used to refer to slave owners.

00:07:27.500 This happened at Harvard and Yale just a few years ago.

00:07:31.340 At Harvard and Yale, the earliest American colleges, they inherited from Oxford and Cambridge the term master to refer to the head of the residential colleges.

00:07:40.620 So you have some deans and you have a master of the college, and that's sort of like the social head of the college.

00:07:45.800 The term master comes from Oxford, from Cambridge.

00:07:49.740 We use the term master all the time.

00:07:51.520 When we use the word mister to refer to a stranger on the street, hello, Mr. Smith.

00:07:55.820 Mister is just a form of master.

00:07:57.380 So we use that term.

00:07:59.960 It has nothing to do with slavery.

00:08:01.160 It predates slavery by centuries in the Oxford and Cambridge tradition, and yet student activists and political activists at Harvard and Yale said no.

00:08:09.800 The word master, it sounds kind of slave-y.

00:08:12.880 I know it has no relation to slavery whatsoever, but it just kind of sounds, it's the feels.

00:08:17.640 Like all my feels make it sound really slave-y, so we have to get rid of it.

00:08:21.840 And they did.

00:08:22.620 They dropped those terms.

00:08:23.900 So now they use the phrase head of college.

00:08:26.260 I'm sure they're going to find some way to be offended by head of college, too, and then they're going to change it again.

00:08:31.280 That's the ignorance part.

00:08:32.800 People don't really get what the word owner means, that the word owner doesn't come from slavery.

00:08:37.860 But the other side of it, I think, is even more important, which is creeping socialism.

00:08:44.480 It's not about the racism.

00:08:47.340 It's about ownership itself.

00:08:48.860 We're uncomfortable in this egalitarian society where socialism is becoming much more popular,

00:08:54.740 where the majority of young Americans now are identifying as socialist.

00:08:58.060 We're uncomfortable with private ownership itself.

00:09:01.560 Just as a rule, whenever someone accuses you of racism, they're probably not talking about racism.

00:09:11.160 Racism has become a tool of the left to silence people and to push forward their other ideas.

00:09:16.900 Racism is rarely, if ever, actually about racism.

00:09:20.140 So the question of whether owner is racist is not about racism.

00:09:23.960 It's about ownerships.

00:09:25.680 You have got people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and, I guess now, the entire Democrat field just about,

00:09:34.000 telling us that private property is bad.

00:09:36.400 It's wrong.

00:09:36.880 We need to take away private property. 0.91

00:09:38.680 In the extreme case, we need socialism.

00:09:40.560 We need socialist programs.

00:09:42.460 That is the line.

00:09:43.300 So people feel shame for owning private property.

00:09:45.920 Why do you have the right to own something if that guy on the street doesn't have the right to own it?

00:09:50.100 Why do I have the right to own my car when the bum drinking booze out of a plastic bottle on the street doesn't own a car? 1.00

00:09:57.720 According to the radical egalitarians, there's something unfair about that.

00:10:01.920 That's an example of social injustice. 0.97

00:10:05.200 Actually, though, private property is great.

00:10:07.820 Private property is one of the best things ever.

00:10:11.040 And shared property is not that great.

00:10:13.280 We are told in this culture that private property is bad and primitive, that in an advanced society, we will give up some of our private ownership of property,

00:10:22.640 and then we'll all just hold things in common, like the mythical people and the beautiful paradise that we envision before the social contract.

00:10:30.800 That's what we are being told.

00:10:32.140 Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, gave a speech at Tulane University where he said that in the beginning, we all just kept our property to ourselves and we all just did things for ourselves.

00:10:43.920 But then when we became civilized, we realized we needed to do everything together and we needed to surrender our ownership and we needed to just kumbaya altogether.

00:10:53.140 The actual history of civilization is exactly the opposite.

00:11:00.400 Primitive tribes are not the most selfish.

00:11:03.580 They don't have the most private ownership.

00:11:05.440 They're not the most capitalistic.

00:11:07.260 Primitive tribes are the most socialistic. 0.96

00:11:10.220 They don't really have concepts of private property.

00:11:12.420 When you look at primitive tribes in Papua New Guinea or in the Amazon jungle or in historical examples, they don't really hold private property.

00:11:20.500 They hold all the goods in common and their economies don't really take off.

00:11:23.920 They don't really produce very much.

00:11:25.920 They don't enter into a state of advanced civilization.

00:11:28.840 It doesn't grow society.

00:11:31.180 Societies only begin to advance when they develop concepts of private property and when they develop concepts of government and law to protect that private property.

00:11:40.760 And the reason for that is only when you have private property do you have any incentive to work, to produce, to till the land.

00:11:48.600 This is true not just in the ancient civilizations or in the remote tribes in Papua New Guinea.

00:11:54.140 This is true in American history. 0.72

00:11:55.960 When the Mayflower sailed to America in 1620 and those early pilgrims got off the ship, they held their property in common.

00:12:04.620 And you know what happened?

00:12:06.180 They starved.

00:12:08.500 They had a very terrible first winter.

00:12:10.280 They had a very terrible second winter.

00:12:11.580 It was only after they started to institute capitalist reforms that they had abundance.

00:12:17.080 This is well attested to in the diaries of the governor of Plymouth, Governor Bradford.

00:12:22.480 They decided instead of holding everything in common and trying to get everyone else to work for everyone else, they would divvy up the property.

00:12:28.400 Governor Bradford wrote that at that time when they were sharing all of the property, the young men felt that they had no reason to go out there and work for some other man's wife to be able to eat.

00:12:37.660 They would just sit at home and everyone else would do the work and then they would hopefully enjoy some of the fruits of the other person's labor.

00:12:45.440 This is what happens in communist governments.

00:12:48.340 Perhaps it starts out with good intentions.

00:12:50.320 Usually it doesn't.

00:12:51.060 But let's say that it did start out with good intentions.

00:12:53.220 The trouble is in the system itself.

00:12:56.540 In the system itself, if I'm just going to get the fruits of someone's labor, if we're all going to get the average, why would I ever work above the average?

00:13:05.060 In fact, why would I ever work at the average amount of productivity?

00:13:09.320 I'm going to try to work below the average amount of productivity so that I'm really profiting from somebody else's labor because that's much easier and there's no difference in what I get to eat or the goods that I get to enjoy.

00:13:19.900 So Governor Bradford then divided up all the property and guess what happened?

00:13:23.860 Plymouth plantation flourished and New England flourished and America learned a very important lesson in those early years.

00:13:30.500 The other side of private property is that it is implied by natural rights and natural law.

00:13:38.520 So all the time now when socialists are ranting about social justice and how we need to give up private property ownership and we need to, I mean, what socialism is literally when the government takes control of the means of production and distribution in an economy.

00:13:52.740 It's when they take away private property and private ownership.

00:13:55.480 What we are told is that really it's a higher justice, it's human rights that call for us to take other people's property for ourselves.

00:14:04.800 Actually, the opposite is true.

00:14:07.480 Private property is a concept of the natural law and of natural rights.

00:14:12.900 Our country is grounded in the idea of natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which John Locke described as the pursuit of property.

00:14:20.320 Why is private property implied by natural rights and natural law?

00:14:25.520 It's because it is a consequence of my liberty.

00:14:29.160 So I have life, I have this life that I was given, and I can act freely in it.

00:14:33.940 So I act freely and I work and I occupy certain places.

00:14:37.740 And as a result of this, I have to be entitled to some profit for my work, my liberty.

00:14:44.300 I have to be entitled to some of the fruits of my liberty.

00:14:47.000 And this implies private property.

00:14:50.480 What is the argument for taking away someone else's private property?

00:14:55.540 That Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez really wants it?

00:15:00.100 That's not a great argument.

00:15:01.380 That the world will end if we don't take away a lot of people's private property in 12 years?

00:15:05.680 Not really backed by science like AOC wants it to be.

00:15:08.960 They have no argument for this.

00:15:11.180 When the left can't make an argument against this, they have to revert to what they always do, which is they cry racism. 0.99

00:15:17.400 They say, you're a bigot, you're a racist, you're selfish. 0.98

00:15:20.320 Gimme, gimme, gimme. 0.99

00:15:21.160 That's what's really going on here in this debate.

00:15:23.840 And by the way, we saw this in action yesterday, this concept, this frequent tool of the left to just accuse their opponents of racism when they don't have an argument.

00:15:31.460 We saw it in an interview that Jared Kushner did on HBO over the question of whether birtherism, the idea that Barack Obama wasn't born in the U.S., whether birtherism is racist.

00:15:42.840 And he totally bungled the answer.

00:15:44.260 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she calls, she has called President Trump a racist. 1.00

00:15:51.520 Have you ever seen him say or do anything that you would describe as racist or bigoted?

00:15:58.120 So the answer is no, absolutely not.

00:16:01.720 You can't not be a racist for 69 years, then run for president and be a racist.

00:16:05.420 And what I'll say is that when a lot of the Democrats call the president a racist, I think they're doing a disservice to people who suffer because of real racism in this country.

00:16:15.260 Was birtherism racist?

00:16:18.000 Um, look, I wasn't really involved in that.

00:16:20.520 I know you weren't.

00:16:21.840 Was it racist?

00:16:23.820 Like I said, I wasn't involved in that.

00:16:26.100 I know you weren't.

00:16:27.380 Was it racist?

00:16:29.100 Um, look, I know who the president is and I have not seen anything in him that is racist.

00:16:34.000 So again, I was not involved in that.

00:16:35.720 Did you wish he didn't do that?

00:16:37.440 Uh, like I said, I was not involved in that.

00:16:39.240 That was a long time ago.

00:16:40.420 The other issue that often gets brought up in this conversation is that he campaigned on banning Muslims.

00:16:45.800 Would you describe that as religiously bigoted? 0.63

00:16:48.280 Look, I think that the president did his campaign the way he did his campaign.

00:16:51.300 He did.

00:16:51.780 But do you wish he didn't?

00:16:52.920 Do you wish he didn't make that speech?

00:16:54.160 Uh, I think he's here today and I think he's doing a lot of great things for the country.

00:16:57.900 And that's what I'm proud of.

00:17:00.060 Uh, totally bungled it.

00:17:01.600 I like Jared Kushner, but this was not a good answer in any case.

00:17:04.820 The answer to the question, is birtherism racist, is obviously no.

00:17:10.640 It's not racist.

00:17:12.160 The answer on the Muslim ban, by the way, is that Barack Obama limited travel from many of the countries that Donald Trump did.

00:17:17.860 And, uh, his ban, the travel restrictions, were not exclusively against Muslim-majority countries.

00:17:24.900 And, uh, also it was a ban against, uh, countries that were failed states that we couldn't ensure the, the legitimacy of the people who were coming over here.

00:17:34.860 So that, that's simply answered.

00:17:36.200 And the question of birtherism is simply answered, too.

00:17:39.200 Birtherism is not racist.

00:17:40.940 Where does birtherism come from? 0.94

00:17:42.240 The idea that Barack Obama wasn't born here.

00:17:44.140 It comes from Barack Obama himself.

00:17:46.100 Barack Obama's literary agent wrote, in, in one of the early promotions for Barack Obama as a published writer, that he was born in Kenya.

00:17:54.840 This is what he wrote.

00:17:56.380 Barack Obama, the first American, African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.

00:18:03.960 The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for a business international corporation.

00:18:13.620 And then it goes on.

00:18:14.280 It says it very clearly.

00:18:16.340 He was born in Kenya.

00:18:17.380 Now, the guy says this was a mistake.

00:18:20.020 We have every reason to believe it was a mistake.

00:18:22.040 But it was a mistake that came from Barack Obama and his literary agent, and it was distributed widely.

00:18:27.240 Why else did people think Barack Obama wasn't born here?

00:18:30.520 They thought that because he doesn't speak like an American.

00:18:34.400 He doesn't speak in the sort of ideas that are traditionally American ideas.

00:18:38.660 He very publicly rejected American exceptionalism.

00:18:42.220 He was asked if he believed in American exceptionalism, and he said, yeah, sure, I believe in it, just the way that the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism, which belies a fundamental understanding of American exceptionalism.

00:18:52.800 If every country is exceptional, then no country is exceptional.

00:18:56.760 And the idea of American exceptionalism is that America, by virtue of her unique development and foundation and role in the world, is unique.

00:19:08.360 It's almost tautological.

00:19:10.400 It's just a very basic observation that America, unlike every other country on earth, is exceptional.

00:19:16.260 Not to say it's the greatest thing in the whole history of the world, though it is the greatest nation in the history of the world.

00:19:21.440 It simply says it is the exception to nations, not the rule.

00:19:26.300 And when you look at the unique founding of America, the unique development, obviously that is true.

00:19:30.440 I think he was probably the first major presidential candidate ever to reject American exceptionalism.

00:19:37.500 He also described Muslim prayers in the evening as one of the prettiest sounds on earth.

00:19:43.380 That's a little strange.

00:19:44.320 That's not totally in keeping with traditional American views of religion and beauty.

00:19:51.240 It's a foreign idea. 0.90

00:19:53.440 Why else?

00:19:53.980 He grew up abroad.

00:19:54.840 He did grow up largely in Indonesia.

00:19:56.840 Why else?

00:19:57.360 He palled around with Marxists like Frank Marshall Davis, and he credited those Marxists as his mentors.

00:20:03.260 Why else?

00:20:03.920 He palled around with domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers.

00:20:06.480 He launched his political campaign in the living room of Bill Ayers.

00:20:09.720 Why else?

00:20:10.200 Because his ideas were un-American.

00:20:13.180 Also, it doesn't even make sense that birtherism would be racist.

00:20:18.220 The idea that Barack Obama wasn't born in this country because he was black, is that what birtherism is? 0.58

00:20:25.960 Because there are a lot of black people in America.

00:20:27.660 Black people have been in America for centuries. 0.95

00:20:31.060 That part wouldn't even, because somebody's black, they wouldn't be born in America. 1.00

00:20:36.080 Black people are 12% of the American population.

00:20:39.560 No, it was because he seemed foreign and because when he was young, his publisher said that he, or his literary agent, rather, said that he was not born in America.

00:20:48.600 And because he spoke like someone who is not American. 0.50

00:20:52.100 Birtherism had other problems than this. 0.62

00:20:54.060 First of all, there's not much evidence for it other than what his literary agent said decades ago.

00:20:59.320 And the other major problem with birtherism, which is why I never took the controversy seriously at all, is that even if Barack Obama had been born in some other place, he still would be a natural-born citizen.

00:21:11.700 Because he was a citizen upon his birth.

00:21:14.960 Natural just means from birth.

00:21:16.900 So because his mother was a U.S. citizen, he was naturally born a U.S. citizen.

00:21:22.360 So it didn't even really matter.

00:21:23.960 Kushner should have just said this.

00:21:26.020 Yeah, birtherism wasn't racist. 1.00

00:21:27.580 Might have been stupid. 1.00

00:21:28.480 It might have been foolish. 1.00

00:21:29.620 It was, by the way, based on Barack Obama's own literary agent. 0.64

00:21:32.640 But sure, it turned out it wasn't true.

00:21:34.600 Okay.

00:21:35.940 It's not racist.

00:21:36.800 None of that shows that it's racist.

00:21:38.460 If everything is racist, nothing is racist.

00:21:41.120 We should not give the left an inch.

00:21:43.580 We should not accept their premises.

00:21:45.240 A good example of how Kushner should have responded to this came by way of Stephen Crowder yesterday.

00:21:51.000 Because, you know, there's this Vox journalist who's trying to get Crowder banned from YouTube,

00:21:55.020 for making jokes.

00:21:56.680 And YouTube is taking this apparently seriously.

00:21:58.900 They're actively investigating Crowder.

00:22:00.700 They want to get rid of his channel.

00:22:02.080 I think his channel has like 4 million subscribers or something. 0.98

00:22:05.480 And this jerk from Vox, this total fake victim punk named Carlos Maza, 0.96

00:22:10.920 made a video yesterday explaining why we need to censor Crowder. 0.99

00:22:14.840 Here he is.

00:22:15.640 A ton of people have talked about this way before I did.

00:22:18.500 And I've experienced it way worse than I have. 0.72

00:22:19.980 YouTube is dominated by alt-right monsters who use the platform to target their critics and make their lives miserable.

00:22:29.000 It's been happening for a long time. 0.80

00:22:30.420 It's been happening since way before me.

00:22:32.440 The response from people who've experienced this is, yeah, I agree to hell with YouTube.

00:22:37.100 I can't believe they're branding themselves as pride allies.

00:22:39.340 And I heard you have Raymond Brown coming up later on the show.

00:22:41.900 I hope you ask him what it's like to make basically corporate propaganda for a company that doesn't care about queer people.

00:22:46.580 I want to stop it right there because did you hear the word he said at the end?

00:22:51.800 He said that YouTube doesn't care about people who are making fun of queer people.

00:22:58.500 And he's using the word queer people as his own identity. 0.58

00:23:00.960 I mean, the guy's Twitter handle is Gay Wonk.

00:23:04.580 So he's saying we are queer people and it's wrong to make fun of us.

00:23:08.640 Well, how did Steven Crowder make fun of queer people?

00:23:10.420 He called them queer.

00:23:11.340 He used the very word that they used to describe themselves.

00:23:14.280 He used the very word that this guy used to describe himself.

00:23:18.240 But I guess when he says it, it's okay.

00:23:19.660 And when Steven Crowder says it, it's not okay.

00:23:21.580 And why is that?

00:23:22.200 Because he doesn't like Steven Crowder and he wants Steven Crowder to shut up because Steven Crowder is a conservative.

00:23:27.120 So he will baselessly smear Steven Crowder as some sort of neo-Nazi.

00:23:31.140 He's using the term alt-right.

00:23:33.180 Alt-right used to have a meaning.

00:23:35.400 Alt-right referred to a political movement, a very small political movement,

00:23:40.840 that is racially essential, racially essentialist.

00:23:45.080 And so it prioritizes race above all other political questions and concerns.

00:23:51.720 It is largely materialist.

00:23:53.400 It's a largely atheistic movement.

00:23:56.220 Conservatives, mainstream conservatives reject the premises of that movement entirely.

00:24:01.840 This guy totally baselessly smearing Crowder is that.

00:24:05.300 Now, then he goes on with his suggestions for YouTube.

00:24:08.480 The response from critics, people who love Steven Crowder,

00:24:12.560 have been that I'm a fascist and I'm an NBC plant trying to take down a competitor, 0.99

00:24:18.040 which is like so dumb, I don't know what to say to it. 0.96

00:24:21.760 But it's meant to distract from the reality, which is that Steven Crowder is not the problem. 0.98

00:24:25.520 Alex Jones isn't the problem.

00:24:26.820 These individual actors are not the problem.

00:24:28.880 They are symptoms and the product of YouTube's design,

00:24:31.880 which is meant to reward the most inflammatory, bigoted, and engaging performers.

00:24:36.020 Steven Crowder is YouTube's ideal creator.

00:24:38.940 He makes cheap, long content that tons of people want to subscribe to.

00:24:42.720 He sells shirts on the platform that say socialism is for fags if YouTube continues to allow. 0.95

00:24:47.380 He is what an ideal YouTube creator looks like. 0.96

00:24:50.620 And YouTube's branding about caring about queer people is meant to distract advertisers

00:24:53.920 from the fact that they have no handle on their platform

00:24:56.620 and that people who run ads on YouTube are going to end up having their ads appear

00:25:00.120 on videos with hate speech and bigoted harassment of queer people and marginalized communities.

00:25:05.200 So what he just said about Steven Crowder's shirts is also technically not true

00:25:09.220 because the shirt says that socialism is for figs.

00:25:11.940 And instead of an A, it's a little picture of a fig.

00:25:14.360 And coincidentally, Che Guevara, who's pictured on the shirt,

00:25:18.000 was killed in a town called Higuero, which means the fig tree.

00:25:21.460 So anyway, I'm quibbling over a minor point here. 0.99

00:25:23.840 But the long story short is this guy's a whiny little liar and he's a fake victim 0.98

00:25:29.400 because he refers to marginalized communities. 0.99

00:25:32.840 There's no more marginalized community on social media than conservatives.

00:25:38.260 Conservatives are regularly demonetized, shut down, censored, deplatformed, kicked off.

00:25:44.380 And by the way, if we're trying to compare the marginalization of conservatives on social media

00:25:50.180 to queer people, to use Carlos Maza's term,

00:25:54.380 conservatives regularly being deplatformed, regularly being kicked off social media,

00:25:58.200 this very show gets censored not infrequently.

00:26:01.140 I have been kicked off of Twitter for various periods of time.

00:26:04.680 That's conservatives.

00:26:06.260 In terms of gay people and LGBT, LMNOP,

00:26:10.520 the term Pride Month has been trending for three consecutive days on Twitter.

00:26:14.320 Not only are queer people, to use this term, not marginalized on social media,

00:26:20.740 they are celebrated every day.

00:26:22.620 Fine by me, but there's no comparison here.

00:26:26.000 Now we'll get to Crowder's apology in a second,

00:26:27.900 but first I've got to say about Facebook and YouTube.

00:26:29.960 And we've got a whole lot more to get to.

00:26:32.240 We've got to get to the funniest story that I've read in the news in many months

00:26:35.660 about how a weird, kinky, sexual meetup turned into assault and robbery.

00:26:41.260 And we will have to get to Susan B. Anthony

00:26:43.740 and uncovering whether the left or right can accurately claim her.

00:26:48.600 But go to dailywire.com if you want it.

00:26:50.660 Ten bucks a month, $100 for an annual membership.

00:26:53.480 You get me, you get the Andrew Klavan show,

00:26:55.000 you get the Ben Shapiro show, you get the Matt Walsh show.

00:26:56.880 You get to ask questions in the mailbag coming up on Thursday.

00:26:59.120 You get to ask questions backstage.

00:27:01.080 You get everything, but you get the Leftist Tears Tumblr.

00:27:04.360 And this is very, very important.

00:27:06.380 You're going to...

00:27:08.060 That's really good.

00:27:11.260 I'm really proud of how delicious the Leftist Tears Tumblr tastes.

00:27:15.360 I just take a lot of pride in it.

00:27:16.720 I think we should all be proud of how delicious Leftist Tears Tumblrs are.

00:27:19.840 If you want to be proud of salty Leftist Tears, go to dailywire.com.

00:27:23.160 We'll be right back.

00:27:23.780 So Crowder issued an apology.

00:27:35.660 He's under a lot of pressure.

00:27:36.800 They're threatening to take away his entire business from him.

00:27:39.140 They're threatening to take away his entire show for him 0.97

00:27:41.480 because some whiny little leftist punk doesn't like him. 0.96

00:27:45.100 And so Crowder, understandably, 0.94

00:27:47.480 he just published a video.

00:27:49.280 It said, I'm sorry.

00:27:50.800 Let's hear what he had to say.

00:27:51.680 It's been brought to my attention that many of the comments, videos,

00:27:55.560 and overall tenor and tone of this program

00:27:57.640 have been considered hurtful and offensive to many.

00:28:00.240 And while not in violation of policy guidelines,

00:28:02.480 certainly skirted the line of human decency.

00:28:05.000 I, along with everyone here at Ladder with Crowder,

00:28:07.700 am not above recognizing my mistakes and attempting to rectify them.

00:28:11.160 So I'd like to take this opportunity to formally apologize

00:28:13.480 to all parties involved.

00:28:15.320 Firstly, my heartfelt apologies to practicing socialists

00:28:20.860 offended by the Che Guevara socialism is for figs t-shirt.

00:28:25.200 I know that we should fight bad ideas with good ideas

00:28:27.720 and respectfully debate the merits, virtues, and shortcomings of socialism

00:28:30.900 as opposed to merely mocking it with a hysterical t-shirt

00:28:33.700 available at ladderscreddershop.com.

00:28:36.500 Also, my apologies to the Nabisco Corporation

00:28:39.020 and their Fig Newton subsidiary.

00:28:41.620 I would also like to apologize to Drake, the rapper,

00:28:44.800 for referring to him as a, quote, 1.00

00:28:46.460 butter-soft bitch 1.00

00:28:47.460 and claiming that his only redeeming quality as a performer 0.99

00:28:50.360 was when he was shot into permanent paralysis on Degrassi.

00:28:52.860 I'd also like to apologize to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

00:28:57.080 for implying that she's long been deceased.

00:29:00.040 And even though I don't have verifiable proof to the contrary,

00:29:02.640 I do realize my observations were conducted in poor taste and ill-timed.

00:29:07.520 I also apologize for Pantelis' remarks

00:29:10.440 implying that she looks like a cartoon snail librarian.

00:29:15.820 This is exactly how conservatives should respond

00:29:19.340 when whiny leftist punks try to get in our face about our various opinions.

00:29:24.160 We should reject their premises and then we should laugh at them 0.97

00:29:26.820 because I think it's actually because the mainstream media is so insane.

00:29:33.820 And I mean not just the news, not just the newspapers,

00:29:36.340 but Hollywood, TV, movies, all this. 0.82

00:29:38.460 It's because the mainstream media are so insane

00:29:41.560 that we sometimes forget that most people are normal.

00:29:44.220 So, even while we're talking about 56 genders on Facebook

00:29:49.840 and, you know, shrieking crazy people on college campuses,

00:29:54.040 Donald Trump got elected president.

00:29:56.700 That's one fact.

00:29:58.420 Another fact.

00:29:59.020 Fox News beats out CNN every night.

00:30:02.740 There's another fact.

00:30:03.720 Last Man Standing, a totally normal sitcom

00:30:06.780 about totally normal people doing totally normal things,

00:30:09.560 is an extremely popular TV show.

00:30:11.800 You could go on and on and on.

00:30:13.360 Most people are pretty normal.

00:30:15.400 It's just the people who control our popular culture 0.97

00:30:18.100 are the ones who are totally insane.

00:30:21.020 Don't let them scare you. 0.99

00:30:22.220 Stand up to them, stare them in the eye,

00:30:24.180 and laugh right in their face.

00:30:26.200 Which brings us to my favorite story I've read in months,

00:30:29.960 speaking of the intersection of interesting sexuality and comedy.

00:30:35.200 There's a story that came out today.

00:30:37.120 It's so good, I have to read it to you in its entirety.

00:30:39.960 It's so typifies what we have been talking about

00:30:43.360 with our total cultural obsession about sex and casual sex

00:30:47.840 and the sexual revolution and the hookup culture. 0.99

00:30:50.460 This story from the New York Post.

00:30:53.460 Quote,

00:30:53.740 A Greenwich Village man was allegedly robbed

00:30:56.740 by a date he met on Grindr.

00:30:58.520 Grindr is a gay dating app.

00:31:00.480 But told cops he couldn't scream for help

00:31:02.320 because he had a, quote,

00:31:03.940 jock strap and ball gag in his mouth,

00:31:06.420 police sources said Monday.

00:31:07.900 Police responded to a call of a home invasion robbery

00:31:10.280 around 3 a.m. Saturday

00:31:11.480 at the 26-year-old victim's apartment

00:31:13.200 on Greenwich Street, police said.

00:31:15.080 The man told police he had met his date

00:31:17.160 in a section of the app called,

00:31:19.520 close your ears if you don't want to hear this, 0.98

00:31:22.220 black men love fisting, the sources said. 1.00

00:31:26.140 He said the two men had consensual intercourse 1.00

00:31:28.480 that included latex bottles, rubber gloves, 0.78

00:31:31.420 a leash, and a sex swing.

00:31:33.440 But they got into an argument 0.98

00:31:34.520 over the small size of the perp's package,

00:31:37.240 leading him to choke the victim

00:31:38.500 and demand cash, the sources said.

00:31:41.020 The victim told cops he thought it was part of the fantasy

00:31:43.600 until his date allegedly dragged him into a closet

00:31:46.360 and took $3,000.

00:31:48.860 Sorry.

00:31:49.340 The victim told cops he tried to scream

00:31:52.640 when he realized he was being robbed,

00:31:55.040 but couldn't, the sources said.

00:31:56.800 The robber fled and the victim was treated on the scene.

00:31:59.840 Cops took latex gloves, a sex toy,

00:32:03.380 and the sex swing as evidence, the source said.

00:32:07.220 The suspect was described as being in his 30s

00:32:09.540 with a goatee and wearing a white t-shirt,

00:32:11.380 black sweatpants, and a black hoodie, police said.

00:32:14.260 Police canvassed the area but didn't find the perp.

00:32:16.980 I don't mean to laugh at this guy getting robbed.

00:32:20.060 It's too bad for that guy.

00:32:21.820 I feel sorry for him.

00:32:24.340 And I also don't mean to pick on gay guys

00:32:27.140 because this, obviously, this story involved two gay guys.

00:32:29.520 This could have involved straight people

00:32:31.200 or people who have any sort of sexual preferences.

00:32:34.020 The rule is true for everybody.

00:32:37.900 When your sexual fantasies and desires and acts

00:32:41.520 are indistinguishable from assault, battery, and robbery,

00:32:45.720 you have lost the plot.

00:32:47.120 You've lost the narrative.

00:32:48.500 Something needs to change

00:32:49.660 because the key to the story is that the guy,

00:32:53.600 the victim, is kind of making fun

00:32:55.140 of his partner's natural endowments,

00:32:58.060 and then the guy starts yelling at him

00:33:00.360 and getting physical

00:33:01.140 and drags him into a closet

00:33:02.900 and puts a ball gag on his mouth.

00:33:04.660 And at that moment,

00:33:07.040 the victim thought it was part of the fantasy.

00:33:10.080 So he thought this was actually

00:33:11.360 a moment of great pleasure

00:33:13.200 when, in fact, it was a moment of great pain

00:33:15.200 because he was about to lose three grand

00:33:17.000 and have to wait in his closet for a few hours.

00:33:21.720 Something is wrong with our sexual culture.

00:33:23.900 However, if you, not if this happens.

00:33:26.240 Look, this, people get robbed.

00:33:28.600 People, domestic abuse happens, violence happens.

00:33:31.760 That's not the new thing.

00:33:33.400 The thing that's new

00:33:34.360 is that the guy thought it was pleasure.

00:33:35.860 The guy thought it was part of the fantasy.

00:33:37.200 The guy already had the ball gag in his mouth. 0.84

00:33:39.240 The police had to confiscate a sex swing

00:33:40.920 and a bunch of other weird stuff and latex gloves.

00:33:43.360 It's too much, guys, too much.

00:33:45.760 Dial it back a little bit, all right?

00:33:47.660 Look, I mean, what two people do

00:33:51.000 in the privacy of their own home

00:33:52.300 is of no interest to me

00:33:54.160 unless it's a really funny story in the New York Post.

00:33:56.300 But something's gone wrong here.

00:33:58.600 And actually, this is borne out by statistics.

00:34:01.440 Both Tinder, which is the straight version of Grindr,

00:34:04.300 and Grindr are more dangerous than ever,

00:34:07.080 both of them, according to a UK report.

00:34:09.440 Crimes that have begun on Tinder and Grindr

00:34:11.860 have increased nearly threefold from 2013 to 2014

00:34:15.840 and sevenfold from 2013 to 2015.

00:34:19.000 And that was four years ago.

00:34:20.040 Who knows how high that is now?

00:34:23.300 That is a...

00:34:24.300 You don't need to...

00:34:25.500 You don't need to be some orthodox Christian 1.00

00:34:28.540 or some Bible-belt, religious, zealot person.

00:34:32.140 You don't need to go to church regularly.

00:34:33.720 You don't need to take any particular view

00:34:35.740 on sexual morality or any of it

00:34:39.020 to read that story and say,

00:34:41.560 hmm, maybe something's gone a little wrong in our culture.

00:34:44.200 We're now told we shouldn't have any shame.

00:34:46.220 Straight, gay, asexual, bisexual, and whatever.

00:34:50.440 You're not supposed to have any shame for your desires.

00:34:53.200 Every sexual desire is supposed to be really great.

00:34:56.880 No, not.

00:34:58.340 Obviously not.

00:34:59.320 When you're being mugged and you think being mugged

00:35:02.600 is part of your sexual desire,

00:35:04.540 something has gone wrong.

00:35:05.680 Maybe you should rethink what you are engaging in

00:35:08.780 and what you are doing.

00:35:09.800 And I'm sure that I'll be labeled some kind of phobe

00:35:12.020 for pointing out that sex between two loving adults

00:35:15.780 should not resemble assault, battery, and robberty.

00:35:19.080 But there it is.

00:35:20.080 There it is.

00:35:20.480 That's all I can say.

00:35:21.960 Speaking of morality and religion,

00:35:25.100 bad news out of the Vatican today.

00:35:28.240 Pope Francis has just rewritten the Lord's Prayer.

00:35:31.960 So the Our Father, the Lord's Prayer,

00:35:33.600 is a very simple prayer.

00:35:35.040 It's a prayer that Christ himself gives the apostles,

00:35:37.700 and I'm sure you've heard it, but it goes,

00:35:40.040 Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:35:42.460 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

00:35:44.160 on earth as it is in heaven.

00:35:45.920 Give us this day our daily bread,

00:35:47.780 and forgive us our trespasses,

00:35:49.440 as we forgive those who trespass against us.

00:35:51.860 And lead us not into temptation,

00:35:53.700 but deliver us from evil.

00:35:55.440 You see, lead us not into temptation is from God.

00:35:59.700 You are asking God not to lead you into temptation.

00:36:02.600 That is the point.

00:36:03.880 But what Pope Francis is saying

00:36:06.100 is that God could never lead you into temptation.

00:36:09.280 Only the devil leads you into temptation.

00:36:12.000 Except this is contradicted in Scripture.

00:36:14.960 Right around the time in the Gospel

00:36:17.300 where Christ gives the apostles the Lord's Prayer,

00:36:20.840 he is led by the Spirit into the wilderness

00:36:24.720 to be tempted by the devil.

00:36:27.360 It is the Spirit that is doing the leading,

00:36:29.900 the Spirit of God,

00:36:30.860 and the devil is doing the tempting.

00:36:34.020 How is that possible?

00:36:35.500 It is not for me to know.

00:36:36.900 I don't know that.

00:36:37.520 I don't understand all of the mind of God.

00:36:39.980 I couldn't possibly understand the mind of God.

00:36:42.340 That is not possible for finite creatures

00:36:45.420 like human beings.

00:36:46.940 But I likewise don't want to go in there

00:36:49.280 and edit the words of Christ himself

00:36:51.380 because I think I have a better idea than he did.

00:36:54.800 This is a huge mistake,

00:36:57.560 and it's an example of hubris in religion.

00:36:59.900 You see, this all throughout religion,

00:37:01.820 really bad move from Pope Francis,

00:37:04.580 and I will not be editing the words of Christ

00:37:06.820 in the Lord's Prayer,

00:37:07.540 and I suspect a lot of Christians around the world

00:37:09.480 won't be doing it either.

00:37:11.060 People have some difficulty with Scripture.

00:37:13.640 We all have difficulty with Scripture.

00:37:15.440 I think Cardinal Newman,

00:37:16.560 one of the greatest theologians ever,

00:37:18.080 said that 10,000 problems does not make one doubt.

00:37:22.680 There have been cardinals who have said

00:37:23.900 that they don't understand all of Scripture.

00:37:26.140 Of course we couldn't understand all of theology.

00:37:28.020 If we could, it wouldn't be true theology.

00:37:29.960 We can never understand the mind of God.

00:37:32.000 It shouldn't lead us to rewrite the Bible

00:37:35.080 and to rewrite the Lord's Prayer.

00:37:38.120 Now this brings us to the 19th Amendment.

00:37:40.200 We have to get to it before we close today.

00:37:42.500 Susan B. Anthony.

00:37:45.220 100 years ago today,

00:37:47.160 the Senate passed woman suffrage,

00:37:49.600 gave woman the right to vote. 0.66

00:37:51.540 This was passed largely thanks to Susan B. Anthony.

00:37:55.600 Susan B. Anthony,

00:37:56.920 the OG woman's rights activist.

00:37:59.940 First, it's also worth noting

00:38:02.880 that Susan B. Anthony was staunchly pro-life.

00:38:07.120 This has become a matter of political debate

00:38:09.080 in recent years.

00:38:09.920 Was Susan B. Anthony pro-life or was she not?

00:38:13.560 The Susan B. Anthony list,

00:38:14.960 which is a pro-life organization,

00:38:16.480 takes its name obviously from Susan B. Anthony.

00:38:18.480 But a lot of pro-abortion groups say

00:38:20.180 that she wasn't pro-life.

00:38:21.660 There's no evidence that she personally

00:38:23.260 disagreed with abortion.

00:38:25.260 This is not true.

00:38:26.540 So why do they make this case?

00:38:28.060 In a journal that Susan B. Anthony owned

00:38:31.900 called The Revolution,

00:38:33.760 abortion was referred to as child murder

00:38:36.740 and antenatal infanticide.

00:38:39.900 So before birth, infanticide.

00:38:42.080 One article in this journal read,

00:38:44.520 Guilty? Yes.

00:38:46.820 No matter what the motive,

00:38:47.920 love of ease or a desire to save from suffering

00:38:50.260 the unborn innocent,

00:38:51.580 the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. 1.00

00:38:54.360 It will burden her conscience in life.

00:38:56.220 It will burden her soul in death. 0.94

00:38:58.340 But O, thrice guilty as he who,

00:39:00.640 for selfish gratification,

00:39:02.240 drove her to the desperation

00:39:03.640 which impelled her to the crime.

00:39:05.880 And this was signed A.

00:39:08.860 Now we don't know what A is.

00:39:10.400 A has been interpreted by some people

00:39:12.040 to mean Anthony.

00:39:13.240 We've been told by other scholars

00:39:14.580 it doesn't mean Anthony,

00:39:15.880 that when Susan B. Anthony signed her name,

00:39:18.240 she signed it S-B-A.

00:39:20.580 And actually A could have referred

00:39:22.280 to a different writer in the publication.

00:39:25.040 Okay, maybe.

00:39:26.660 The journal was edited by fellow feminists,

00:39:29.680 Elizabeth Cady Stanton,

00:39:31.140 whose husband helped to found the Republican Party,

00:39:34.620 and founded by Parker Pillsbury,

00:39:36.600 also ardently pro-life.

00:39:38.300 And the journal included both sides of issues.

00:39:40.580 So it could be the case,

00:39:42.620 they say,

00:39:43.300 that even though Susan B. Anthony

00:39:45.060 was pro-abortion,

00:39:46.900 the journal presented the anti-abortion side as well.

00:39:50.580 This falls apart

00:39:51.940 when we see the advertising policy

00:39:53.820 in the journal.

00:39:55.660 The journal had a very explicit advertising policy

00:40:00.780 which read,

00:40:01.800 quack medicine vendors,

00:40:03.580 however rich, proud, and pretentious,

00:40:05.860 feticides and infanticides

00:40:07.920 should be classed together

00:40:09.700 and regarded with shuddering horror

00:40:12.680 by the whole human race.

00:40:17.220 Hard to argue with that.

00:40:20.180 That advertising policy

00:40:21.680 would not have gone into effect

00:40:22.960 without the approval

00:40:24.420 of the owner of the journal,

00:40:25.800 Susan B. Anthony.

00:40:27.440 Regardless,

00:40:28.240 even of the authorship

00:40:29.180 of any of those lines,

00:40:30.660 we still know that Susan B. Anthony

00:40:32.360 was pro-life.

00:40:34.060 Why?

00:40:34.660 Because she defended,

00:40:35.840 quote,

00:40:36.500 the unborn little ones.

00:40:38.920 She used that phrase, 0.83

00:40:40.160 the unborn little ones.

00:40:42.120 Now,

00:40:43.140 she's not referring to the

00:40:44.460 unborn random clump of cells.

00:40:46.600 She's not referring to

00:40:47.340 the unborn zygote

00:40:48.480 or the unborn blastula

00:40:49.860 or the unborn embryo

00:40:51.440 or the unborn fetus

00:40:53.340 or she refers to the unborn little ones.

00:40:57.780 Unborn means they're to be born. 0.95

00:41:01.000 The suffragette,

00:41:01.980 Frances Willard,

00:41:02.800 who is a friend of Susan B. Anthony,

00:41:04.500 recounted one time

00:41:05.820 that a man said

00:41:08.020 that of all women,

00:41:09.020 Susan B. Anthony

00:41:09.940 should have been a wife and a mother 1.00

00:41:11.720 because she wasn't a wife and a mother. 1.00

00:41:12.860 And Susan B. Anthony's reply was,

00:41:15.480 I thank you, sir,

00:41:16.820 but sweeter even

00:41:17.800 than to have had the joy

00:41:19.140 of caring for children of my own

00:41:20.920 has it been to me

00:41:22.260 to help bring about

00:41:23.540 a better state of things

00:41:24.680 for mothers generally

00:41:25.920 so that their unborn little ones

00:41:28.220 could not be willed away from them.

00:41:31.900 Pretty clear.

00:41:33.560 She also referred to infanticides

00:41:35.280 and abortions 0.99

00:41:36.100 as some of the greatest evils

00:41:37.920 associated with alcoholism.

00:41:39.760 So a lot of the suffragettes 1.00

00:41:40.940 were involved

00:41:41.720 in the temperance movement too.

00:41:43.740 Very, very awful

00:41:44.780 trying to get men

00:41:45.440 to stop drinking booze

00:41:46.620 and trying to push for prohibition.

00:41:48.220 And one of the reasons for this

00:41:49.720 is they said men get drunk 1.00

00:41:50.780 and then they go have sex with women 0.99

00:41:52.040 and then they knock them up 1.00

00:41:53.420 but they're totally irresponsible rather

00:41:56.120 and then the women 1.00

00:41:57.640 are go and compelled

00:41:58.740 to have abortions.

00:42:00.020 And she said that

00:42:01.080 these abortions 1.00

00:42:02.280 and these infanticides

00:42:03.180 are some of the greatest evils

00:42:04.620 associated with booze.

00:42:06.620 But it's only an evil

00:42:07.720 if abortion and infanticide are evil

00:42:09.620 which obviously she believed

00:42:11.080 was the case.

00:42:13.000 And the last bit of evidence

00:42:14.500 we have here

00:42:15.080 I mean there's a lot more

00:42:16.060 but just the last bit

00:42:17.240 that we have time for

00:42:17.900 is that Susan B. Anthony's own sister

00:42:20.460 had an abortion.

00:42:22.060 And Susan B. Anthony wrote 0.96

00:42:23.180 in her private diary about this.

00:42:24.640 She said

00:42:24.940 she will rue the day

00:42:26.920 she forces nature. 0.63

00:42:30.060 She will rue the day.

00:42:31.580 Why will she rue the day

00:42:32.860 that she has an abortion? 0.61

00:42:34.700 We're told today

00:42:35.360 that abortion is empowering.

00:42:36.980 We're told that it's something

00:42:38.000 you should be proud of.

00:42:38.980 We're told that it's something

00:42:40.080 you should shout from the rooftops.

00:42:41.860 It's not something

00:42:43.060 that should be safe, legal, and rare.

00:42:44.500 It should be on demand

00:42:46.720 up until the moment of birth.

00:42:48.220 It's so good.

00:42:49.540 It's so great

00:42:50.300 to be able to have an abortion

00:42:51.320 that you should shout it

00:42:52.660 with joy and with pride.

00:42:55.380 Susan B. Anthony didn't think that.

00:42:57.040 Why?

00:42:57.280 Because she thought it was evil

00:42:58.300 and she thought it caused regret

00:42:59.960 and she wouldn't allow

00:43:01.560 quack medicine people 0.96

00:43:02.680 who would kill babies 0.99

00:43:03.480 and fetuses so-called 0.99

00:43:05.820 to advertise in her journal.

00:43:07.280 And she defended

00:43:08.300 the unborn little ones.

00:43:10.820 And she published people

00:43:12.540 who referred very explicitly

00:43:14.560 to the evils of abortion.

00:43:16.380 It's pretty clear

00:43:16.960 that the Susan B. Anthony list

00:43:18.640 has it right here.

00:43:19.640 The pro-life movement

00:43:20.440 has it right.

00:43:21.620 And you'll see trending

00:43:23.560 all over the internet,

00:43:24.460 the 19th Amendment,

00:43:25.620 Susan B. Anthony,

00:43:26.660 women's rights. 0.96

00:43:28.720 Well, the leading

00:43:30.120 women's rights activists

00:43:31.600 opposed abortion.

00:43:33.840 The top of their class

00:43:35.140 women's rights activists

00:43:36.200 opposed abortion.

00:43:37.420 Today, in the abortion debate,

00:43:39.000 we hear women's rights

00:43:40.300 and abortion

00:43:40.820 referred to synonymously.

00:43:42.860 It's like they're the same thing.

00:43:44.180 Women's reproductive rights,

00:43:46.060 women's health care,

00:43:47.320 women's health. 0.71

00:43:49.760 The women that we credit

00:43:52.080 with starting

00:43:52.740 the modern feminist movement,

00:43:54.520 that all of these

00:43:55.600 modern feminists 0.87

00:43:57.780 hold up

00:43:58.500 as the forebears

00:44:00.260 of their movement,

00:44:00.900 the most important among them

00:44:03.060 opposed abortion.

00:44:04.740 That's an inconvenient fact.

00:44:05.960 They probably won't be

00:44:07.600 admitting it anytime soon.

00:44:09.160 But we should remind them

00:44:10.320 whenever the 19th Amendment 0.54

00:44:12.280 is trending,

00:44:13.000 whenever there are celebrations

00:44:14.140 to celebrate women's suffrage,

00:44:16.620 bring that up

00:44:17.320 because those early suffragettes, 1.00

00:44:19.260 those early feminists,

00:44:20.440 defended women 0.97

00:44:21.100 not just when they turned 18

00:44:22.700 or 21

00:44:23.560 and they could vote,

00:44:25.140 but they defended them

00:44:26.040 all the way

00:44:26.420 before they were even born,

00:44:27.620 when they were unborn little ones.

00:45:07.380 Today on The Matt Wall Show,

00:45:08.860 people in this country

00:45:09.740 don't seem to understand Christianity,

00:45:12.860 in case you haven't noticed,

00:45:14.040 and that's why today

00:45:14.740 there's outrage

00:45:15.640 because a pastor

00:45:16.540 prayed for the president

00:45:17.840 and outrage

00:45:19.360 because a Catholic bishop

00:45:20.560 came out against

00:45:21.320 gay pride parades.

00:45:22.700 Nobody should be shocked

00:45:23.800 by either thing,

00:45:24.900 and nobody would be shocked

00:45:25.980 if they had a basic understanding

00:45:27.240 of Christianity.

00:45:27.880 We'll talk about that.

00:45:28.640 Also, Texas has banned

00:45:30.560 red light cameras.

00:45:31.500 This is cause for celebration,

00:45:33.840 even for a parade, maybe,

00:45:35.460 and I'll explain why,

00:45:36.980 plus I'll answer your emails today

00:45:38.400 on The Matt Wall Show.
