In the spirit of bipartisanship, a state representative in Oklahoma has a bill that codifies that a father s financial responsibility to his baby and their mom begins at conception. Pro-abortion people think that the pro-lifers would hate this bill.

00:00:37.720Sometimes people accuse me of not being bipartisan enough on this show.
00:00:42.960They accuse me of focusing on the good things Republicans do and the bad things Democrats do.
00:00:48.440So in the spirit of bipartisanship, I want to bring up a terrific bill that a Democrat state representative filed last week in Oklahoma.
00:00:57.740The legislator's name is Forrest Bennett, and his bill is HB 3129, which, in his words, quote,
00:01:07.460codifies that a father's financial responsibility to his baby and their mom begins at conception.
00:01:14.740If Oklahoma is going to restrict a woman's right to choose, we sure better make sure the man involved can't just walk away from his responsibility.
00:01:27.820It protects vulnerable single mothers.
00:01:30.900It stops deadbeat dads from abandoning their kids.
00:01:34.200And it acknowledges that life begins at conception.
00:01:36.880Which, apparently, was just too much for this legislator and his Democrat pals because he just pulled his own bill after finding out that pro-lifers liked it.
00:10:42.080And then, particularly during the hiatus, the hiatus and warming, which is still debated among climate scientists, whether it happened, how serious it was.
00:10:51.080But it is thought that there was a hiatus from 1998 to 2013 in which the world didn't really warm up that much.
00:10:56.800So global warming became demonstrably false and no longer working on people.
00:11:01.440So then they changed it to climate change.
00:11:03.820Climate change never became demonstrably false because it's an unfalsifiable euphemism.
00:11:21.740They have to change these euphemisms constantly, and then people catch up, and they'll change them again, and it goes on and on and on and on, and you are never up to date.
00:11:35.140Speaking of words, the New York City Police Commissioner just spoke over the past few days over a terrible attack on police officers in Harlem.
00:12:03.540Tonight, a 22-year-old son, husband, officer, and friend was killed because he did what we asked him to do.
00:12:17.060Countless officers line the halls of this hallway after carrying him in and grieve for their brother, while praying with everything they have for the other.
00:12:30.140I am struggling to find the words to express the tragedy we are enduring.
00:13:59.520Did you hear that little bit she gets in there?
00:14:00.980She says, this happened, she insinuated quite strongly, this happened because of illegal guns.
00:14:09.860That's what's changed in New York, is that there are guns around.
00:14:14.500There have been guns around New York for a very long time.
00:14:17.980Illegal guns, too, for a very long time.
00:14:20.460Clearly, the gun laws aren't working that well.
00:14:23.700What has changed in the past few years is not that there are new gun sales in New York, legal or illegal.
00:14:32.440What has changed is not that there are new guns being manufactured that are dramatically different from the old guns that were being manufactured.
00:14:41.180What has changed in New York is that prosecutors won't do their job because there is a new leftist idea that the police are bad and criminals are put upon and we need to be tougher on the cops and weaker on the criminals.
00:14:58.560And when criminals riot and loot and burn down buildings during BLM, especially in New York, we're just going to let them off the hook.
00:15:06.360We're going to give them much lower charges when we charge them at all.
00:15:10.760And for the majority of them, the vast majority of them, we're just going to let them off completely.
00:15:16.240And then you're surprised when crime goes up.
00:15:19.500When the administration in New York says, the de Blasio administration in particular, the one right before this new mayor, says certain crimes are no longer going to be considered crimes.
00:15:31.100And then when the prosecutors come in and say, even when you do commit the crimes, we're not going to charge you for them.
00:15:35.420And then you're shocked when crime goes up.
00:15:38.600So fine, I'm not saying that this woman has it entirely in her power.
00:15:58.840Speaking of New York, the governor of New York doesn't seem to be any better than the failed leadership of the city of New York.
00:16:06.760Governor Kathy Hochul, who took over after Governor Andrew Cuomo was found to be a little too handsy with his staff, which was really just the excuse to kick him out because of his scandals over COVID.
00:16:20.640When he pretended to be the greatest leader in the country on COVID, it turned out he was hiding numbers, hiding death numbers and sickness numbers.
00:16:28.640And the thousands of senior citizens who were killed in New York in nursing homes because of his stupid policies, he was hiding them, including from federal investigators.
00:16:36.040So Democrats decided, okay, we're finally going to kick this guy out and we're going to use the sex scandal to do it.
00:16:41.940So Kathy Hochul takes over afterwards and Kathy Hochul doubles down on the same stupid policies, not the exact same ones, but the same COVID incompetence that you saw from Andrew Cuomo.
00:16:54.020So now two years in, Governor Kathy Hochul is still insisting on all sorts of crazy COVID measures, even for kids in schools, even measures that have been demonstrated to be not particularly effective, even for kids who are not at particularly grave risk from COVID.
00:17:12.740And you know what her excuse is for this?
00:17:47.940Your little children have to cover their faces so they can never see anybody's smiles and they can't really go see their friends and they've got to be completely isolated from their peers.
00:17:58.300Even when they are in the same building together, they've got to be walled off into pods and their education is going to be severely compromised and their social development is going to be really, really compromised.
00:18:08.880But hey, Kathy Hochul's kid didn't want to wear sneakers one time.
00:19:28.140But do not pretend that the suffering that you inflict, that you, Kathy Hochul, and other people who use this phrase, inflict, is without consequence.
00:22:24.040Nine-year-olds shouldn't be doing that.
00:22:26.000But instead it's being encouraged and the parents have no right to say anything about it.
00:22:31.180And frankly, by the logic of our culture right now, really by the logic of all cultures and societies, given the premises we're starting with, there's actually no reason for the parents to be involved.
00:22:47.360This is something that conservatives don't quite understand about.
00:22:49.720There's really no reason for the conservatives to be involved if you accept all the radical premises to begin with.
00:22:56.860Also, if you haven't already, go check out our new comedy series, Truth Yeller, hosted by comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla over at dailywire.com slash watch.
00:23:06.100In the next episode, airing this Thursday, Adam gets controversial by mocking Hunter Biden and the way our overlords are attempting to crate train your kids.
00:23:15.100T.J. Miller of Silicon Valley, Deadpool, Big Hero 6, and more will join Adam to drop some comedy gold and prove that he knows how to identify a grandma killer.
00:23:45.100So these creepy, pervert, degenerate administrators at an elementary school in Oregon are recruiting their nine-year-old kids to join LGBTQ club and convince little Johnny that he's really little Jane.
00:24:00.180This is obviously very creepy, very wrong.
00:24:02.980The people who are pushing this should certainly be fired, if not prosecuted.
00:24:07.340And the part that everyone's focusing on is that the parents weren't even informed.
00:24:12.640The parents were, like, that's the worst part of this.
00:24:17.140I understand why people are focusing on parental consent because not only the left but also the right now believes that consent is the be-all and end-all of politics.
00:24:28.880And there's nothing deeper that we can talk about.
00:24:35.440And if you want to consent to mutilate your body or do a ton of drugs or whatever, that's totally fine.
00:24:41.380But you've got to make sure that you get consent.
00:24:44.020All they care about is procedural norms.
00:24:46.720You see this even in some pro-life advocacy where they say, look, I'm not telling New Yorkers and Californians that they need to ban abortion.
00:24:53.160I'm just saying the Supreme Court has no right to do it.
00:24:55.700So we've got to send it back to the states.
00:24:57.400And then if the people want to kill a zillion babies a year in Illinois, that's totally fine.
00:25:21.340Namely, we shouldn't be teaching kids gender theory when they're nine years old, pretending that all sorts of eccentric sexual ideologies are totally fine.
00:25:33.040Probably the only sexual ideology that you're not allowed to teach in this elementary school is that men are not women, and men should marry women, and they should live in a monogamous household for life and have a family and procreate.
00:25:49.440I bet you would be taken to court if you taught that in this school, but you can teach everything else.
00:25:55.760The reason for this, it actually makes perfect sense, is that while we often think that our substantive views are downstream of procedural norms, very often it's the opposite.
00:26:09.740I'm using sort of technical language here.
00:26:12.740So what I mean by that is we think that the things we actually believe about what is good and true and beautiful come downstream of how we come to decide them.
00:26:33.360Very often it's the things that we think are good and true and beautiful that decide how we decide other questions.
00:26:41.000So our culture has decided that LGBTQ plus, there are now 5,000 other letters to it, is good, true, and completely beyond debate.
00:26:58.940Not even just that, you know, two fellas like each other on a Navy ship out at sea and, you know, that's one thing.
00:27:04.700No, we're saying that even the T, okay, we're talking about boys can chop up their bodies and pump themselves full of hormones and actually become women.
00:27:16.040That in our culture is considered unassailable.
00:27:18.820If you question that in your job, in your school, you can be kicked out.
00:27:23.980You can be kicked out of both of those places.
00:27:27.680And depending on how you do it, you might even be charged with a crime.
00:27:31.100There was a bill in California signed into law in 2017 that said that if healthcare workers misgender, quote unquote, their patients, they could be prosecuted.
00:27:43.380Misgender meaning properly gender, meaning there's a man who thinks he's a woman and the healthcare worker says, hello, sir.
00:27:50.040That healthcare worker could be prosecuted according to the law.
00:27:52.600Now, it's been extremely controversial since it was passed, but we have decided that that is the case.
00:27:59.060So, of course, if LGBTQ is totally fine and unassailable and beyond reproach and beyond debate, then why would you need the parent's permission?
00:28:08.940Why would you allow some bigoted, hateful, false-minded parent to question something that we as a culture have decided is unquestionable?
00:28:20.600Well, we've concluded the substantive issue, and so the procedure is going to change.
00:28:26.780Whereas 10 years ago, you would have needed at least to get a parent's permission slip for a club like this.
00:28:31.980Probably you wouldn't even have a club like this.
00:29:23.920I've got to give Chris Ruffo credit because he was one of the pioneers on this.
00:29:27.240Christopher Ruffo is at the Manhattan Institute.
00:29:30.620He's the guy who really popularized the crusade against critical race theory.
00:29:34.880Chris Ruffo had this brilliant idea to make the issue of banning critical race theory not merely one of banning something from the curriculum, though that's what we're about.
00:29:49.580He wanted to make it about curriculum transparency.
00:29:53.700Such a brilliant phrase, really a brilliant tactic.
00:29:59.220Because when you hear from someone that they want to ban something, especially in a classroom, after decades and decades of the false ideology of academic freedom, we just recoil from that.
00:30:23.780So what Chris Ruffo suggested was, okay, well, let's make it about curriculum transparency.
00:30:30.080We all love transparency in our modern, liberal, democratic age.
00:30:33.700So let's just, hey, teachers, let's just have you post your curricula on the Internet so that the parents can see what happens.
00:30:43.380And then, and then they'll make up their own minds.
00:30:47.300And we'll see what happens from there.
00:30:49.100Because we know that these teachers are teaching false, hideous, dangerous, destructive things in the classroom.
00:30:57.920And the minute parents see it, they're going to freak out.
00:31:00.020During COVID, this was one of the few silver linings in the storm cloud of COVID.
00:31:05.180Parents got to see what their kids are being taught because the classroom came through a laptop into the living room of people's apartments and houses.
00:31:15.660And you even had administrators and teachers during the remote teaching of COVID say, hey, make sure that the parents aren't in the room when the kids are being taught this stuff because they're going to lose their minds, as rightly they did.
00:31:27.820So NBC News now has this piece, anti-critical race theory activists have a new focus, curriculum transparency, and that's really bad.
00:31:40.680And this is really dangerous because transparency is a liberal value, but it's forcing an ideological shift in the way, that's right, that's exactly what it's doing.
00:31:52.100But the conservatives here have put liberals on the opposite side of transparency.
00:32:00.060They're now fighting against transparency.
00:32:04.800This would be a good example of something that I've suggested for a while now, which is not just that politics is downstream of culture, meaning culture affects politics.
00:32:14.940The movies, what we listen to, the way we talk, the media, sure, that affects our government, sure.
00:32:26.880The government also affects the civil society because curriculum transparency is a law.
00:32:36.260It's a regulation passed by the government, very rarely adopted voluntarily by the school districts.
00:32:44.120It's something where the school board or the Department of Education or the governor is going to have to come in and say, we need curriculum transparency.
00:32:51.920And the libs are going to scream and howl about it.
00:32:54.000And then the parents are going to see what's in the curricula and they're going to push back against it.
00:33:00.260Republicans just want a governorship in very liberal Virginia on this issue.
00:33:06.860Because while there might be ideological rigidity on taxes, entitlements, immigration, foreign policy, whatever, on education, on how kids are being raised,
00:33:24.760there's much more of an opportunity for conservatives to bring over people who are not traditionally on the right.
