 Here I came all this way for one reason and one reason only and that is to play for you tonight this ode to Roe v Wade okay I did have strong opinions on abortion but I do know something otherwise very nice women who after having an abortion throw a party that that seems to me perverse there's another woman I dated who said she'd never had abortion but her attitude was abortion is just something every woman goes through so I guess I'm legally pro-choice and morally pro-life I think in 99% of occasions having an abortion is an immoral thing to do but I'm not sure I want to make it illegal for the first trimester anyway on the other hand I not radically for making it illegal I'm not radically for keeping it legal I don't really have any strong opinions on it that's makes me just a terrible livestreamer I have really strong opinions on almost nothing it is a classic case of liberalism versus democracy so the way our lead speak to us the way the news media speak to us it's that democracy and and liberalism there they're just like ham and eggs well liberalism is about our rights right sustaining our rights and I noticed all this talk about right to an abortion so almost all the the rights talk with regard to abortion it's about the right of women to have abortions and almost none of it is about the right of the unborn to live you would think that if you want to talk rights with regard to abortion that may be the right of the unborn to live so this is if this becomes the final ruling it is a triumph for democracy right if you are pro-democracy then you will like this ruling because this ruling overturning Roe v Wade will make abortion something that politicians decide meaning that voters decide people get to vote on whether or not you have a right to just unlimited amounts of abortion lease for the first three months so if you're pro-democracy and that's your overwhelming value democracy then you have to like this putative ruling I am not overwhelmingly pro-democracy I am moderately pro-democracy so sometimes I think experts know best sometimes I am all for delegating these things to experts but not in this case not on this red button moral issue I'm not saying oh we should just delegate this to the judges and they've already decided and it's a right good evening welcome to Tucker Carlson's night first up polls have just closed in the Ohio Senate primary one state one primary early in the season at the results could determine the Republican Party looks like going forward so we're going to follow this for you and bring you any updates we have but first tonight if you listen carefully to leaders the Democratic Party and we do you would think America was built on a single court decision from 1973 the very same people who consider the Bill of Rights a racist relic quickly dismisses out of hand those same people quickly become emotional as they describe the sublime beauty of Roe versus Wade yesterday when Democratic office holder described the Roe decision as quote sacred and it's not an overstatement for many Democrats it is sacred they will tell you and they mean it that this country cannot continue without Roe without Roe darkness will descend America will revert to slavery and cannibalism and other varieties of Hobbesian misery so gruesome their best left undescribed but so I recently read the four-part series the New York Times produced this weekend on Tucker Carlson they note that his monologues have gotten longer and longer and longer so back in 2017 when he first started out with a daily Fox News show his monologues were short if there were any at all and he engaged much more with liberals but minute by minute ratings analyses showed that people prefer to hear from Tucker directly and to hear from other people on the right so his monologues have got longer and longer and longer become an increasingly large part of the show and I think for good reason all right many of the debates with liberals with the very limited amount of time that you have to debate on people TV they were just pro forma people going through the motions so I think delivering impassioned monologues is something that Tucker does really well between a bright new tomorrow and the hell of the handmade stale stands only Roe v Wade they're telling you that on channels right now across the spectrum it's all pretty bewildering if you consider what Roe v Wade actually is and that is true no matter what you think of abortion itself whether you're strongly for legal abortion the decision as a decision Roe v Wade is a widely acknowledged joke moral questions aside Roe is the most embarrassing court decision handed down in the last century every part of it from its invented constitutional justification to its meaningless parameters mocks the idea of sober jurisprudence the point of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution abortion is not mentioned or alluded to in the Constitution Roe is invented whole cloth and if you don't believe it reread it 49 years later go ahead and try it it'll make you blush the Roe decision turns out to be a period piece from the early 70s like sideburns or the AMC Gremlin it's the triumph of fattish political trends over the law so the fact that the Roe decision was in fact shoddy and shameful is hardly a partisan opinion in fact plenty of Democrats including a lot of ardent pro-choicers have acknowledged that over the years because it's true and that would include by the way Joe Biden Joe Biden is always supported legal abortion but nine years after the road is so this such as an important issue what's more important to you philosophical principles high-falutin legal principles are you more interested in principles or in your interests so if your interests of pro-abortion then you're gonna like the effects of Roe v Wade and you're gonna like Roe v Wade even if it's shoddy law if you are opposed to the effects of Roe v Wade you're gonna oppose it even if it was stellar law so one thing one way that my thinking is developed over the past seven years is increasing shift to the importance of interests over principles so sometimes principles are more important than interests but generally speaking as I converted to orthodox Judaism began to see life more from a tribal perspective and therefore developed more empathy for other people who see life from primarily from a tribal perspective yeah most of the time makes more sense to look at the world through the lens of your interests rather than through the lens of abstract principles so looking at the world through the lens of abstract principles is more something that Anglos do or about the only people in the world who see things in terms of universal morality so pretty much everyone else employs in-group versus out-group morality so there's one morality for how they treat their in-group and then how you treat out-groups doesn't matter much that's the way of the world with the exception of Anglos decision was handed down he was still willing to admit it was indefensible as a legal decision pregnant women biden explained in 1982 as a member of the senate judiciary committee should not have quote the sole right to say what should happen to their unborn children because after all no one creates children alone it takes two people that's obvious in fact biden concluded roe had gone quote too far and of course it had gone too far that was obvious then it's obvious now then as now many americans believe that abortion is murder many other americans consider abortion a prerequisite to happiness now those are unreconcilable positions but thankfully in a democracy we have a solution to quandaries like this and it's called voting if we don't like some okay breaking news apparently ethan ralph live streamer was uh detained while live streaming at the u.s supreme court oh they're detaining me and they don't know nothing on you at all no you're telling me the truth yes i didn't turn that off the cops turned that off by the way okay something in america if you want to change it we elect representatives to act on our behalf if they do what we ask them to do we reelect them that's the reward if they don't we vote them out that's the punishment that's how our system works for hundreds of years we have used that system to resolve plenty of complex and thorny moral issues not just abortion many others and it has worked well and that's why this has always been a stable country because we get to rule ourselves roe versus wade took that right away in a single 1973 decision the high court banned democracy from the debate over abortion justices prohibited the states from enacting abortion restrictions that their own citizens strongly preferred that meant that going forward alabama would be required to have the same abortion laws as massachusetts now some people love this of course people in massachusetts loved it people in alabama hated it but there was nothing anybody could do about it because supreme court had cut voters out of the equation and as a result of that the issue of abortion was never resolved things are not resolved by fiat they're only resolved by consent that's the core idea in democracy and it's true so as a result of the short circuiting of democracy demands from the left forced it as a result of that for nearly 50 years this issue has festered it has given americans yet another reason to dislike each other it has divided the country and now finally after 49 years voters might have their rightful say over what to do about abortion as is their right according to a piece last night in the blog politico the majority of justices on the supreme court are ready to overturn row justice leto said so very clearly in a draft opinion you can read yourself because it's circulating on the internet now we shouldn't be able to read that draft opinion it's not for public consumption a final official decision on row is supposed to be months away and yet an unnamed liberal operative short circuited this ancient process which has worked well for hundreds of years this person leaked the opinion and not by accident the point of leaking the opinion was to intimidate conservative justices into reversing course mob justice now if you're shocked by that you shouldn't be remember that it's not so different from what we saw this january when another unnamed liberal operative leaked the news that justice steven brier was planning on retiring and that news forced even brier to retire which liberal operatives wanted him to do because he was a white man so that was in other words another op one of many we're now seeing in our country and as if to prove that within moments of this story breaking last night a mob formed a flash mob at the supreme court watch well the upside is they're not telling you it's your body your choice even these people couldn't pull that off with a straight face after forcing millions of americans to inject an experimental drug against their will or be fired do you remember that so they can't claim you have bodily autonomy anymore because you demonstrably don't so instead they moved to name calling you're a fascist if you just so 12 hours ago ben Shapiro tweeted i'm sorry the constitution is happening to you agree with that and they've been honing those talking points because they've been preparing for this moment for quite some time the supreme court everyone knows is currently debating the constitutionality of a mississippi law that okay so people want to know how our abortion fights a proxy for race this is a topic covered in the new york times back in september of 2021 topic i covered on my show about six months ago why is abortion such a divisive topic in the united states when it's not nearly as intense in europe or in australia because abortion fights are not really about abortion abortion was a way to rally protestants catholics and trads right natural supporters of the republican party this was a cause that we denied all these disparate elements of the republican party so starting in the 1970s conservative activists saw they weren't going to be off to unite these groups around oh we need to retain irs tax breaks for racially discriminatory private schools but aha abortion you take this issue you sacralize it and you make it a proxy essentially for race it's a proxy for traditional attitudes it's an issue that attracts support from many constituencies who would not otherwise necessarily vote republican so it's a way of bringing these various groups into the republican party and essentially most of most of these groups are dominantly white so it's abortion fights fighting against the right to an abortion essentially become a proxy fight for standing up for your tribe your white tribe so almost all proxy fights are tribal and racial at their core so northern ireland is not really protestant versus rama catholic it's a tribal fight and jews versus muslims in the middle east it's not primarily about religion it's a tribal fight so when you get down to it things become tribal that's usually the bottom line for most human conflicts between in groups and out groups bans abortion after 15 weeks now during oral arguments in this case in december just as elito noted that quote the fetus has an interest in having a life now that's true but when he said that plans for retaliation began no one wanted sam elito to vote the wrong way and now those plans are underway and it's no exaggeration to say that once this stuff gets going you don't know where it winds up people could get hurt because of this leak you'd hate to think that could happen and you'd hate even more to think anyone wanted that to happen but people do and here they are adis shaves works for the nation she's some kind of reporter she has tweeted that it's quote good that conservative justices and their families will quote have their lives threatened she's in favor of that over at vox.com Ian Millheiser added quote seriously shout out to whoever the hero was within the supreme court who said eff it let's burn this place down oh we don't get what we want we'll just burn it down government by tantrum you've seen that before brian fallon the executive director of the thoroughly thuggish activist group demand justice or else which is implied said this quote is a brave clerk taking this unprecedented step of leaking a draft opinion to warn the country what's coming in a last ditch hail mary to see if the public response might cause the court to consider oh the public response like do what we want or we'll hurt you again we've seen that before let's stop pretending these are threats of violence obviously the ceo of Planned Parenthood is now calling an activist to storm state capital buildings watch this we know that this decision is going to enrage people we know we've already seen what's happened when people find out that when they found out what was happening in texas they started filling state houses in florida they started filling state houses in other places because they know that the fight right now is on the ground and in these states and so we're going to continue to capture that rage oh we're going to capture that rage people get angry and you wouldn't like us when we're angry what didn't we have a system didn't we have democratic norms we're supposed to i remember this this nice nice liberal lady a friend of mine just a wonderful person but uh she said there's no way we're going to allow trump to be reelected in 2020 like we'll go out and then we'll bomb this country if necessary we will do anything to stop trumps reelection observe if you don't like something isn't there a process for resolving that don't you elect people to see your will put into law not anymore you just storm capitals but wait a second says the attuned television of your isn't storming capitals to thwart democracy and insurrection oh no only under certain circumstances not when the abortion people do it not when they announce their plans on cn when that happens it's a good thing already the leaders of the democratic party are vowing to use this draft decision as a pretext to eliminate the filibuster and pack the supreme court now here's the best part all of this is happening in the name of democracy so that you will never have a chance to vote on something that matters to you like abortion and by the way it matters to you whether you're for it or against it but so that you won't have a chance to ever vote on something like that they're going to thwart democracy here's a former u.s attorney explaining that the conservative justices on the supreme court are in fact insurrectionists i think it's not too great a stretch to say there's some connection between an effort to overturn an election and an effort to overturn roe and and it's this as i've been thinking about it there there is a segment of the ideological spectrum now who thinks it has certain kinds of powers and wants to engage in radical efforts to overturn things that they don't like there's no more incrementalism there's no more compromise you don't like the results of an election you storm the capital and you talk about hanging the vice president of the united states and you get the presidency back yeah it's like overturning an election i mean you listen to something like that and there are like nine points you could make in response then you have to ask either the person saying that is so stupid that he doesn't understand what he's saying or he's willing to say absolutely anything to stop the other side and that's of course what you're watching these people aren't stupid they're just dishonest now the thread the consistent note in all of these clips is that none of the people yammering about this draft opinion written by samolito have actually read it and you know that because they don't even attempt to respond to the legal arguments because legal arguments are immaterial just as they okay this is tucker colson at his best so the place that i turned to seek commentary on this matter is i went to steve sailor's comment section so here's some of the most interesting comments i found there one thing here from the chat new york city subway shooter said that planned parenthood was a way to delive millions of single mother blacks it was a holocaust and a lot of my right-wing friends says this is a gift to the left they really needed that boost of energy here's some of the comments on steve sailor if there is any chance at all that this could once again make people serious about sex and human relationships it won't be a bad thing how many human lives will it say probably not many downsizes or weaponizes the abortion issue at a time when democratic prospects otherwise are looking bad gives them something to campaign on that may win them some votes so who exactly is going to change their vote to democrat because of this the upside is that it makes people aware that the only thing democrats have going for them is that they're in favor of people letting letting people murder unborn children rejoined to look up the statistics of people who have abortions and not the kinds of people we want breeding gosh gotta disavow didn't the new york times say that 70 percent of women who have abortions are women of color the u.s. justice who wrote this is perfectly correct saying the u.s constitution does not grant the right to abortion and never occurred to our founding fathers to think of such a thing now we could vote for constitutional amendment granting the right to abortion that could settle the issue in the short term if abortion disappears more unwomened when men are going to end up on welfare so this will be a financial burden on blue states that they can't afford so a spiked number of babies given to adoption agencies create a large generation of unwanted children who are psychologically messed up and probably criminally inclined so it may well be a social disaster abortion is the holiest sacrament in the progressive religion since it frees women up to work and have sex lives like men middle-income women will become a lot more discriminating in who they hook up with yeah i'm going to be much more careful about how i conduct myself on tinder now right now they're quite discriminating about social status and height now they need to think about is the guy gonna stick around biggest winners out of all this dorky asian men so does life begin at conception so every time a couple of gamys bump into each other something sacred has been created since most pregnancies end in natural abortion early on does this mean god is the ultimate murderer speculation at power line is this leak came from one of the most left wing justices probably sotomayor who is by far the dumbest and most political of the nine justices is any law clerk leaking an opinion will be kissing his legal career goodbye so this will likely cause great contention between the right and left it could solidify divisions on the u.s supreme court may conservative justice including chief justice robberts even less likely to work with the liberal ones so the liberal justices may have lost their swing vote in robberts will certainly spike the number of babies given up to adoption agencies you talk to any couples who are trying to adopt trying to find a white american a baby without any birth defects it's like finding a needle in the haystack and very few jewish women give up in america give up children for abortion so intelligent daison comments on cc lsborg this is epochal the port of this news will not be grasped for a long time the future generations will look back on today is the day when sanity begin returning to the west the progressive agenda is being undone by reality as a result of this ruling will allow stronger families saner women economic parity between capital and labor less politicization of medicine leak will only end up severely hurting the democrats on the left the leaker will be discovered it turns out that a justice was involved that justice will be impeached and removed protecting integrity of the court leftness calculated badly with this one estranged how will the armchair legal scholars are yelling this will throw the november election to the democrats majority of the american electorate is pro-life yeah but about 70% of the electorate support some limited access to abortion so even though trump failed to deliver on most of his promises number one he was great on immigration and the one promise he did particularly deliver on was the supreme court and it's about to start paying off in spades so who is the most likely clerk to leak this and uh justice soto mayor has a clerk named amit meet jane though this is the supreme court clerk who allegedly turned over that uh that brief let's have a look here so josh gerstein has cited him in the past so this is the guy who very likely turned over this brief he's an attorney in brooklyn his whole career has been left-wing projects people overestimate both abortion's popularity and its reach as a galvanizing issue on the electorate well how well forcing the stripper to have a kid out of wedlock strengthen your family or my family is the stripper going to magically transform herself into a tradwife once blessed with the pregnancy she doesn't want no one is going to be more likely to view sex as a potent procreative force if abortion is restricted in their state most white women who want abortions will spend a few hundred dollars extra in travel to a state where abortion is legal and get one the ones who don't will be the most stupid and drug-addicted ones the amount of unwanted offspring aborted vastly outnumbers the amount of children that come here through illegal immigration what is the sense of opposing the latter while restricting abortion oh right sex is supposed to be special so how many voters are really so gung-ho and killing babies that they care more about that than the soaring prices of everything child grooming agenda and race war hangover right a fair number but they are the ones who tend to vote democrat anyway so some of the sharpest opinions on the cc they were when the seven justices in 1973 produced row v way they didn't even consider really what the constitution had to say about because they didn't care that's why it's an embarrassing decision so instead of assessing what elito wrote it is to accuse him of terrorism overturning precedent is an act of insurrection says the federal prosecutor on tv really so any supreme court decision must remain in place bell says bill gates his mom's main charity was planned parenthood bill gates supports it too so bill gates says over population we have three solutions education vaccines and medical procedures okay meaning abortion is forever or else you're committing an act of insurrection hmm legal scholars out there are there any supreme court decisions through the ages that were overturned and that were happy were overturned yeah probably quite a few plus he versus ferguson anyone but it doesn't matter the legal experts are screaming about fascism they're telling you it's only a matter of time before the supreme court brings back segregation if not slavery watch this is just the beginning next logo after gay marriage and and maybe maybe the board the what is it brown versus board of education yeah they already eroded our voting right oh my god oh my god we may return power to local communities to decide what kind of schools they want to have whether people want to have gay marriage or not so she's arguing that this decision might restore more democracy to america and that's a bad thing it's a little bit so i see some i see fascism down the line here why is she wow more democracy equals fascism down the line fascism down the line you know it's it's almost you know it almost detracts from us to play you something like that but that show is real ratings people listen to someone like that who literally couldn't navigate it a check out scanner telling you what the supreme court draft opinion might mean despite the fact she's totally capable of reading it or anything else longer than a tweet whatever she clearly didn't read what elito wrote elito did actually by the way anticipate this argument that if you do this all kinds of other terrible things are going to happen he said it right out loud here's what he wrote for all the people who will never read it and we're quoting what is distinctive about abortion wrote elito is its effect on what roe termed potential life abortion is what he said is a unique issue quote to ensure that our decision is not misunderstood or mischaracterized comma we emphasize that our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other right oh so they're not trying to bring back slavery or legalized cannibalism that are making it illegal for you to vote what they're trying to do is allow you to vote on abortion that's how dishonest these people are if roe v wade gets goes away you get to vote on abortion and if you're a pro-lifer that's good news if you're a pro-choice activist that's a good news why wouldn't you want your democracy to function you don't want to vote on it you want some elderly person to tell you what to do no it's a democracy you vote but no one on television sang that instead they're demagoguing and their hysteria in fact they're nullifying all the gender rules they've just concocted which is gratifying to watch they don't realize it but it's fun to see it and CNN for example which spent all last year telling you that men can get pregnant oh yes they can suddenly they rediscovered the meaning of the word woman oh forgive me i seem to be losing my voice so you'll hear me a little bit differently but it seems to be in line with how women are losing their rights in this country this opinion can be if true narrowed down and defined quite simply women are not viewed as equal to men well women are far more hostile to abortion than men are so much for that way of thinking all right let's have a look at this great thomas edsel column in the new york times back on september 15th 2021 so opinions on abortion are essentially a proxy for racial attitudes whites who score high on measures of racial resentment and racial grievance far more likely to sport strict limits on abortion than whites who score low on those measures this is part of a larger picture in which racial attitudes are increasingly linked with opinions on a wide range of disparate issues including social welfare gun control immigration and climate change so these issues are closely interconnected with racial attitudes and this is a key factor in the deep polarization within the electorate so abortion wasn't always this huge role in american politics what happened is that key leaders of the conservative movement late 1970s and early 1980s such as richard vigory paul wirek phyllis schlafly cherry fourwell wanted to expand their base beyond those opposed to the civil rights movement all right and conservative strategists suffered on a concerted effort to politicize abortion because it dodged the race issue and it offered the opportunity to unify conservative catholics and evangelicals so the anti-abortion movement has been remarkably successful at convincing observers that the positions individuals take on their on the abortion issue always follow in a deductive way from their moral principles they don't so in 1978 the hostile reaction to an irs proposal to impose taxes on churches running segregated private schools meaning children white southerners seeking to avoid federally mandated school integration orders and we also with with busing in the 1970s we suddenly had the first time the explosion in los angeles of jewish schools and a lot of jewish centrists and center-right politicians came out of that movement so conservatives have a hostile reaction to the irs wanting to take away tax deductions on racially segregated private schools so they tried to mobilize an evangelical parishness thought through the creation of the moral majority they would find an issue with abortion that could bring together a much larger constituency so building a new movement around the burning issue of defending the tax advantages of racially segregated schools was not going to be a viable strategy on the national stage so stop the taxes on segregation just wasn't going to inspire the kind of broad based conservative counter revolution that they envisioned so after a long and contentious debate conservative strategists came to a consensus they landed upon the one surprising word that would supply the key to the political puzzle of the age abortion so abortion opponents much more likely to be committed to a patriarchal worldview which the control of reproduction of female sexuality is thought to be central in maintaining a hierarchy that sustains the family which is under threat from secular modern forces and even though this is all coming from a left-wing secular perspective i think they're absolutely right so Judaism is opposed to abortion Judaism generally speaking traditional Judaism definitely regards abortion as killing but most rabbis have not regarded it as murder so not all forms of killing are murder so killing is taking our life murder is immoral killing and there are moral gradations to killing so it wasn't always such a big deal in american politics 50 years ago the southern baptist convention adopted a liberal resolution on abortion but that that changed so there was a 1990 meeting of conservatives in washington at which conservative activist paul wirick spoke he said spoke he said the religious right did not come together in response to the road decision no what got the movement going as a political movement was the attempt on the part of the internal revenue service to rescind the tax-exempt status of bob jones university because of its racially discriminatory policies including abandon interracial dating the university maintained until 2000 so i went to the evangelical christian school forest lake christian academy and they really got behind sending people to forest lake to bob jones universities so most people who went to forest lake christian were politically conservative and going to bob jones was kind of the thing to do so opposition to abortion became a convenient diversion it became a godsend to distract from what motivated this political activism meaning the defense of racial segregation in christian institutions so politicians who have become adamant those of abortion right when open racism is unfashionable or when speaking honestly about race is unfashionable these politicians needed a more high-minded issue one that would not compel them to surrender their fundamental political orientation so the beauty of defending a fetus is that the fetus demands nothing in return fairly low risk advocacy so 1970s america you had all these surging rights movements rights for african americans women's rights reproductive rights gay rights rights for criminal defendants in the mentally ill and this set the stage for the explosive conservative reaction reaction so there is this persistent association between abortion views and ethno racial exclusion so being anti-choice or hoarding exclusionary beliefs is a clear marker of republican affiliation being pro-choice or defining america in racially inclusive terms signals a democratic identity and you see the same thing on a wide range of other issues from health care burning rights to mask wearing and vaccination during covid so for the target population particularly evangelical partisans and conservatively inclined catholics who these conservative activists are trying to mobilize racial animosity and abortion attitudes are related in an indirect way but through an aversion to intellectual elites so the people perceived to be pushing the government's role in equal opportunity and racial integration now the same as those pushing permissive abortion laws meaning the highly educated from new england from banking universities northern cities and elsewhere so the policy domain may differ but the heated people are the same so instead of religiosity driving political attitudes the shifting political landscape in which republicans have become associated with religious values and cultural conservatism has changed partisans involvement with their religious community so some people go to a traditional religious community in large part because that's where they can socialize with other people who are right-wing if you want to raise a family and have kids and live a monogamous life the easiest way to do that is to integrate yourself into a religious community you just want to screw around you will most likely become secular so republicans and democrats select into or out of religious communities in large part based on what kind of sex life they want and what kind of community they want to live in politically so once you select in or out of a traditional religious group you then find yourself essentially politically homogeneous social network where you encounter less diverse political information so churches and synagogues less and less places where people with different political viewpoints come together religious communities become more like echo chambers populated by like-minded partisans women are losing their rights really what percentage of college students that elite colleges are women what percentage of first hires are big companies are women yeah women are losing their rights how many elections are determined by women let's see all of them hires stupid people and in fact just to get back to the constitution which is the core question here abortion does not appear there nor has there ever been a right to abortion in in this country now if that bothers you if you want to write to abortion you can vote for it in the congress you could pass a constitutional amendment if you actually supported democracy that's what you would do or call for your representatives to do but so far nobody has and in fact we're moving the other direction today joe biden announced that democracy has been suspended one of the reasons why i voted against a number of the members in the court they would choose to acknowledge that there's a ninth amendment they would choose to acknowledge the right to privacy because i mean there's so many fundamental rights that are affected by that and i'm not a lot i'm not prepared to leave that to the whims and the of the public at the moment we can't remember the word but we're going to piece together the sentence and we're quoting the whims of the public no longer matter sorry pal they do matter it's a democracy our whims matter so do our beliefs we get to vote on this stuff because that's our system you're just passing through you'll be gone soon the rest of us get to decide how we're governed because we're a self-governing country we're free people sorry there's a lot to unpack here and so we thought we would stop with start rather with an actual lawyer someone who knows a lot about the supreme court our friend laura ingram the host of the ingram angle yeah just wondering what laura ingram has to say i'm absolutely fascinated all right instead let's uh tune in to podcast from september 12 brought to be kind the case for abortion ed dot and rigid spencer evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence with no natural predators within the herd it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most and left the intelligent to become an endangered species having kids is such an important decision we're just waiting for the right time it's not something you want to rush into obviously no way oh shit i'm pregnant again i got too many damn kids thought you was on the pills and shit oh no what's the thing that britney britney don't think there's no way we could have a child now not with the mark at the way it is no that just wouldn't make any sense he don't care about you yeah well there must be something he likes over here bring that to me baby well we finally decided to have children and i'm not pointing fingers but it's not going well and this is helping i'm just saying that before i have an beat trail maybe you should be willing to it's always me right well it's not my sperm count yeah i'm gonna fuck all you cleavon is lucky to be alive he attempted to jump a jet ski from a lake into a swimming pool and impaled his crotch on an iron gate but thanks to recent advances in stem cell research and the fine work of doctors crinsky and alt shuler cleavon should regain full reproductive function um but i think the thing that they they don't seem to understand they shoot themselves in the book these pro-lifetype people is that we have detailed data on the kind of people that get abortion and we have detailed data on the heritability of the traits that are involved women that have abortions are helping to remove people like them that is to say antisocial unpleasant people from the gene pool yeah we must be cruel only to be kind uh is generally my attitude towards this that's a phrase from our guy hamlet okay a little burst uh from richard and ed so one thing i found interesting on vice all right remember vice was mocking iver mackton and that it was essentially horse dewormer now we see now we see that they're promoting a drug a horse a horse medicine is part of it do-it-yourself home abortion process so when it when it brings about an abortion like horse medicine is awesome that's from vice magazine which is seeking a buyer because it's no longer economically viable right back to this great new york times article and quite another law professor noting that anti-abortion and racial segregation are explicit code travelers but they have different chronological origins and different original audiences so abortion sex control patriarchy are a set of strong themes that develop alongside private schools with their ability to shape use of religion sex culture and race along with welfare reform and criminal law enforcement and these things have always had race at the center of those systems so i see synergies with conservative politics aligning with ideas about sex sexuality religion and family so an historian at Vanderbilt adds there are three dimensions to the question of abortion one is the obvious and genuine concern for fundamentalist christian morality among the southern polity some think abortion is wrong second dimension is the politicization of the issue to rile up the electorate then the third part of the issue the overlooked part is the deep resonance of state and regional sovereignty so regional politics is defined by a resistance to federal authority federal government can run any aspect of regional cultural politics then they can run at all this has been a concern about just about everything since reconstruction including lynch law fair employment practices the brown decision busing prayer in schools and abortion the issue runs deep this is the remnants of the lost cause still blowing in the political winds so the strength of the opposition to abortion in the american south grows out of the unique tensions in the region between notions of manhood and the evangelical attempts to control the sins of men so there's always been a tension in southern life between the ideals of masculinity and expectations of evangelical propriety so in the early 20th century preachers and earnest prisoners did their part to reign in the worst excesses of southern manhood be they related to drink or sex or violence so the excessive sin led to heightened evangelistic fervor the greater the sin the greater the salvation meaning masculine indiscretions were subtle ways allowed even celebrated among the church crowd as justifications for an equally aggressive response since the late 1970s however southern evangelicalism has become more welcoming of the type of rugged masculinity the southern sinners of yesteryear displayed so for theological as well as cultural and political reasons southern evangelical majority has increasingly embraced a muscular Christianity that deems protection of home and heart and all facets of family values and notions of life and liberty associated with them a cause worth waging with all the force and abandon required so the enemy is now in the southern evangelicals view and a feminine liberalism and a secular humanism means that even those leaders who might not display christlike temperaments or norms are welcomed into the fold the southern evangelicals of jettison the new testament the old testament for a revival of societal reconstruction carved out plenty of room for the rampaging politician who can impose as well so you don't such as donald trump to remake the nation in their image so the swashbuckling southern rural politician enjoys more freedom than ever to play hard even as he decries the sins of abortion and feminism as saint and sinner he's been granted the right and the freedom to lead the family values charge against washington and its soft liberal elite so abortion has become both polarized and moralized and when issues become moralized they become more difficult to resolve and an issue becomes demoralized as has been the case with gay marriage it becomes increasingly likely to reach bipartisan consensus so over the past 20 years the percentage of the population saying that abortion is morally unacceptable has stayed pretty close to 50 percent let's get a little bit more here from richard and ed a reason like an ancient riverbed or something like that you're just literally stumbling over you know t-rex jaws and all that great stuff oh exciting oh well um so some of these places were and uh jfgrp revealed yesterday youtube has demonetized him and seized about seven thousand dollars in superchats he kept quiet about it for months yeah that happened to me too when ed lucas back youtube channel demonetized youtube kept about three thousand dollars in my superchats where we went are actually mentioned in the first drastic park i i think he says i have a plane waiting in chotto um that's where i literally was in that town anyway let's get started so we're going to talk about a very very difficult and divisive and and i sometimes heart wrenching or stomach turning subject and that is abortion so this has come back to attention this whole issue of abortion seems to never really leave the political scene at least in the united states and there's for forever it's been a seemingly kind of 50 50 split between pro-life and pro-choice at least those monikers that's not exactly accurate however roughly 70 to 75 percent of the american public more or less supports continuing the abortion laws that we have that is they are kind of effectively pro-choice or effectively status quo but there certainly is a very organized very passionate pro-life contingent that is always there and that is at least for the best 30 years been associated with republican party and let's get a bus here from jf garbys the garden is in the morning in australia right now well i have finalized my automated watering system for the raised bed and this is one of the things i'm most proud of in my entire life controlled by the self the lettuce we're not doing good in the greenhouse their problem is why they are built that way i mean i see why if you have an important role in their lives even if you love them and you like them and you want to take care of them as good as you can okay that's already a problematic but okay do it but do it in private like don't uh don't make some balls of these children belonging to you because when you enter the domain of tattoo you enter the domain of symbols and you're telling other people something you're telling can you something with these tattoos and you're telling him i will be a better father than you because i have the tattoos i care more about them it's absolute modern cockery i'm totally against it he should laser them out panicked cnn guest wonders how we're going to control the channels of communications in this country of course that would be a discussion to have on cnn let's see what they have to say i think there's a bigger problem that when we focus on the personalities of people like elon muskin people say oh i think elon's thinking this or that there's a bigger problem here about how we are going to control the channels of communication in this country we're not this country has already decided it would not control the channels of communication there are some amount of control on broadcast waves and really the the government was able to put its dirty ends in this domain simply because there are limited wave spaces and you have to say all right you are the radio station that gets this frequency you get this frequency but given that this problem does not exist on the internet therefore we can return to a true interpretation and there is no such thing as how we're going to control the channel of communication in this country precisely the decision of elon musk is that no one will be able to because they'll be bought out in 1927 we had the radio at 1934 the communications act congress stepped in we made rules FCC wasn't great but it's still regulating the broadcast yes and the broadcast have now the broadcast industry is now dead and it was it was not even justified those were unconstitutional organizations they've run for many decades because basically the corporate world controlling the the airwaves add an interest in being legislated but the reality is the first amendment goes much further the first amendment would make it so that you the government shouldn't be able to say to a radio station you cannot use dirty words in your broadcast yeah i know that's what they do but they shouldn't be able to do this but with the internet it's over now they even if they were to try to control it there would be ways to build independent infrastructure grebs kodas as the rest of my plans aren't growing though so yes i need to water less i suppose i take jf's intermittent watering advice was its own rule to knock itself down and knock its own creators down uh but we will have solutions emerging like odyssey and like twitter's uh elon musk's twitter he gave over our what amongst our airwaves or our internet waves to mark suckerberg and elon musk and jim bowden says look correct me please abortion before roe v wave was always subject to each individual state and was not a federal issue that is correct we are in so much trouble yeah well it's not our airwaves that's the point that's the great uh advance of the internet um we didn't give our airwaves to mark zuckerberg elon musk they just exist the channels of communication exist between the citizens of america it's unstoppable the internet has been designed in a way that it's harder to do what you want to do and you probably won't be able to do it because those guys believe in making money we've already seen that with the 2016 i love when the leftists bring this against the big tech moguls that oh they like to make money they make money out of hate speech it's really not what they're doing the thing is they are losing money in fact uh opening these trust and safety committees and these branches of their organizations really they could not have those because they're protected by section 230 so they don't have to if they if they opt for being protected by section 230 they have the protection so the reality is they're spending money on a wasteful campaign against themselves that's the current state of big tech and this guy wants them to spend more election in suckerberg when he was taking rubles brads from russia and say oh i think it's crazy to think they had any influence on this election musk is the same zuckerberg was taking rubles musk doesn't want it oh you know he's upset with the sec he tried to dare they question him you know what i'm saying this is dangerous we can't think anymore in this country we don't have people no i'm serious we don't have people in and i mean russian disinformation i mean we're talking about a few thousand dollars in facebook ads and this is what the leftist obsessed with they think that a few facebook ads changed the direction the 2016 election congress who can make regulations that can make it work i think we can look to the western countries in europe for how they are trying to limit it but you western countries in their seat is seething as nicolas petres says the problem with western europe is that they can they can impede on speech because they don't have the first amendment there will never be successful legislation around the internet so let it go freely in the u.s it's impossible because of the first amendment that's it so these people can keep seething it won't it won't fix itself and it's not because of a lack of talent and politicians or they are unable to think it's because the structure of the american censorship is purely private because of the first amendment elon musk has given some thoughts on what he was thinking for twitter through different threads and replies which gives us which starts giving us a cue on what it will look like elon musk's twitter he answered to a a thread all all's well that's all well musk tosses tactical nukes at ministry of truth and trust fund journal so there was initially a tweet about the new minister minister of truth is such a nice neutral unbiased person so he's talking about the lady that sings you know that i've shown her in in previous shows and his answer to this is all well that's all well a little play of word i guess a play of sound sounds and words but basically he's saying the ministry of truth he's not into this and twitter will go its own way meanwhile he also replied this was in relation to a thread by glenn greenwald who says rich white woman molly young fast who won the birth lottery by being born to rich famous white parents who raised her in manaton sent her to private schools and thus herself bought an upper east side co-op for five million dollar in 2007 at the age of 29 rents about rich white men it's always those people who rents against rich white men it's rich white woman basically and elon musk was laughing his ass off oh mr crabs so the people who are who are talking about privilege are often basically feeling guilty uh i've i've never heard someone who truly had to work his way through through the social ladder a little bit like i did although i've been lucky in life i've certainly not have any redundancy and that kind of stuff i've been lucky in terms of having good parents and that's it people like me or people even lower than me people who don't have the luck that i have they don't complain about privilege they work their way up the more they can and they feel lucky that they have anything so all of this stemmed from this initial thread someone was saying i don't like the twitter is amplifying the gendered barb that elon musk appropriated from anti-racist because a united state senator suggests that he might pay more taxes and his feelings were hurt it shouldn't be news media shouldn't cover it and platforms shouldn't amplify it this was all initially from many from many months ago when elon musk calls it is a bit warren senator caron after she tweeted that the rigged tax code could be should be changed so the person of the year will actually pay taxes referring to the tesla ceo okay but uh we can't change the tax code if someone is rich just in principle and on paper uh elon musk is rich on paper but he didn't sell his stock so he didn't have running money in his bank account and therefore what do you want to do on the tax code the only change you could do is start taxing property rather than income which is a radical change that would that would have severe negative consequences grapescode that says that is one of the worst run-on sentences i've ever seen is this woman a journalist i don't know which woman you're talking because there were two there were there's the ministry of true woman and there's okay so one of the glorious things to come out of this supreme court leak are the the intensity of liberal tears i'm enjoying that so let's get a little bit the decision would be an abomination an abomination one of the worst ever in modern history honestly i want to cry you know i want to cry in so many different ways look i feel really angry about this and what i feel angry about is that an extremist supreme court is going to impose their views on the rest of america fundamental rights include interstate travel include the idea of same-sex marriage include same-sex relationships wait isn't this kind of the opposite of the supreme court imposing their views on the rest of the america they're saying that states get to choose what kind of laws they have about abortion like whether you're pro or con this decision it is unquestionably a move in favor of democracy so if you're outraged by this decision you're outraged at the prospect of americans voting for their own laws just to name a few now this is essentially gone what's next as i was getting ready for the show this morning i was thinking about hillary clinton and how this just might put her over the edge and make her jump back in but i mean it's just this is the kind of news that rocks your world as a woman no one is safe this overturning row will and again a far high percentage of women are morally opposed to abortion than men right men like to bang and men who like to bang generally speaking going to be fairly much in favor of abortion will be a mass criminalization event it will undercut majoritarian democracy undermine privacy protections well it's gonna undercut majoritarian democracy by returning this issue to the people how well you know is that and poor gasoline on our already inflamed political divisions this is just the beginning next logo after gay marriage and maybe maybe uh the board the what is it brown versus board of education they already eroded our voting rights a little bit so i see some i see fascism down the line here i don't know oh fascism now to reiterate there has been no official supreme court decision the people you just saw are attempting to intimidate the court shape their final opinion just as the leaker probably intended we'll find out in the days and weeks ahead of course this is not new you might recall you might remember when chuck schumer threatened the u.s supreme court justices gorsuch and kavanaugh during a speech right there on the steps of the u.s supreme court take a look and ask yourself this question if you said these words what would happen take a look i want to tell you for such i want to tell you kavanaugh you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price pay the pay the price and we have a long history with this let's not forget ted kennedy's totally complete dishonest diatribe about supreme court nominee at the time right robert borke outright lying take a look robert borke's america is a land in which women would be forced into back alley abortions blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters rogue police could break down citizens doors and midnight raids and school children could not be taught about evolution writers and artists would be censured at the whim of government now ted kennedy kennedy cared so deeply about women that he actually let one drown slowly trapped in his car in a pond uh in chapaquitic and he went home that night there was a house across okay let's get a little bit more here from richard and ed in fact they've kind of forced their will upon the republican party to a very large degree um that i wanted to talk about this more seriously first off i'll mention some details about the texas law that was passed last week just in case any of our viewers haven't been so this podcast was released september 12 of last year paying attention so rather strange law um for people who who don't know there is so ethan ralph says that the police arrested him because he was pointed out as being a bomber and so the police arrested him checked him out and then released a very famous supreme court case roe v wade that based the access to abortion upon a kind of sent a right to privacy within the constitution so so much of abortion legislation really has been done through the supreme court and i think that's actually a big problem uh to begin with but that roe v wade law has been maintained for uh 40 some odd years and this law that was passed in texas doesn't directly challenge it and that's some of kind of the weird thing about it it makes abortion providers and even those people who assisted a woman get an abortion though not the woman herself i should libel in civil court to ten thousand dollar judgments that can be brought by anyone in the country it's a really strange way of going about it and i think this is one of the reasons why the supreme court at least for the time being has punted on the law claiming that there has been no harm yet even though abortion providers have effectively shut down basically you could live in montana and you could hear about a woman who got an abortion after six weeks and you could sue her not sue her sue the provider or sue say the the person who drove her sue the person who paid for it sue the guy who made a hamburger for her and i don't know there must be some limit but it does open up space for this just free for all of lawsuits and that has made providing abortions effectively impossible so there after six weeks there are no abortions in texas but again because you can take people to court which is just inherently debilitating um i i think it raises questions of how many abortions are going to be taking place in texas at all i mean you could sue someone are you sure it's six weeks are you sure it's six weeks since you've been pregnant before six weeks i'm not so sure i think it might be seven so i can sue you for ten grand it is a strange situation to say the least i don't quite know what's going to happen but this is where we are but i think what adonai knows jd vance has won the ohio primary wow so gd vance you know very articulate author making the case for the nationalism for for a republican party that primarily caters to the working class he has won the ohio g.o.p senate nomination which means he most likely will be ohio's next senator and then it becomes a future presidential prospect because of course there's all of this talk about this there's a lot of this seems to be this is going to affect the midterm elections it's it's overshadowed covet at least for a time um but i want to take a step back and really talk about abortion and fertility and also i i think how you can morally think about abortion um and how abortion has been viewed in the past uh so ed you know we think about these of the the anti-abortion crusade or the pro-life cause as being a christian thing not even just a conservative thing but a a christian thing that's catholic and evangelical um evangelical christian it's worth mentioning that um it's it might even be a political cause excuse me it might be a political cause more than a christian cause when rove way raid was decided the southern baptist convention endorsed the decision and they said this is a we were we all respect a woman's right to privacy it was only later that it became the centerpiece of the religious right and became very important in left-right politics in america um but what what has been the christian response to the to an abortion throughout the ages well abortion has not been a huge issue in christianity i grew up in something adventism which is very liberal on abortion but growing up in australia and european christianity australian christianity abortion was not a big deal so scott mcconnell her founder of the american serverie magazine he tweets jd vance didn't go for the we are ukraine stuff so common and seemingly required for everyone thought this would kill him well it didn't so media will try to spin this as trump still controls the rubes or something and trump's endorsement was crucial but jd vance the brilliant and brave guy he is not a natural politician and he will be an historic senator so jd vance wins the republican nomination for senate and peter teal massively invested in jd vance the body of the latter is formed and you know my monotheism the jewish sort of early medieval theologian my monotheism of course i know now my monotheism my monotheism he invented this concept of the nephel and the nephel is the neonate who is doomed to die and if the child was born early it was a nephel rather than a proper human and therefore it didn't have a soul fascinating i think things have changed quite a bit i mean as we've as we've talked about this the the pro-life movement has made a very strong claim that life just begins at conception the moment the sperm hits the egg and i think any reasonable person would agree that there's something has happened to be at least potential for life or some kind of white form has occurred i think the wide availability of ultrasounds has has probably shifted consciousness a little bit in the sense of you have a kind of photograph of a fetus and you feel like well this is clearly a real person and and so on i think that has changed opinions i mean we should remember that abortions are declining pretty significantly since the 1970s i think for a lot of many different factors but they still make up from what we were looking at between 18 to 20 percent of all pregnancies do end in abortion and thus it's you know it's an issue that at least has to be addressed seriously and i don't think a way particularly in the current situation where we are now i don't think addressing it by declaring it bloody murder is is really all that helpful i think there there is a great deal of moral ambiguity and we're going to talk about the effects of it later but one thing that i've noticed and which i've always it's always bothered me i mean i generally support abortion rights but is that the pro-life movement never wants to actually go after the mother in terms of persecution or criminal charges or civil charges in this latter um texas scheme uh so there was a moment in 2016 it's it's largely forgotten now but donald trump had discovered that he was pro-life like many other republicans who want to seek the conservative not the republican nomination discover that like george herbert walker bush and many others and uh he was asked you know oh you want to ban abortions and would you have to would this be criminalized to the extent that that women would be arrested and donald trump thought about it for a moment he said well yes we would have to do that which is a reasonable response if you're going to claim that this is murder or at the very least a crime you're going to simply have to take into account the woman who has the abortion and the pro he got hit from both sides so the liberals freaked out of course but then the pro-life movement freaked out in the sense could they hated trump at that point they hated trump and they were saying well this is not how we think about the issue and you know you kind of do have to think about the issue in that way if you're going to declare this murder the fact that women can't be sued but the abortion provider can be sued uh in texas it's morally speaking it's the same thing as saying well we want to arrest the hit man who's profiting off murder but the person who hired the hit man oh well that she's an innocent victim of the profiteering hit man give me a break they don't they don't i don't think in england anyway prostitution isn't illegal but being a pimp profiting from prostitution that's illegal but but actually being a prostitute is not illegal so so it's a sort of similar silly equivalence and not giving agency to women by the way no no they're not if anything you could be considered a highly sexist set of law yes so i wonder how ethan ralph is doing after getting arrested i like everyone i like honcho thank you honcho karin ir l c o r n e says thank you thank you so much i think we have uh neon nicker sent three dollars imagine if karin was your mom in years from now you see these streams who cares what does that mean next that was stupid that was the stupidest donation ever who gave me want to be a sinner i don't think you needed much of i can't actually do karin we love you sent three dollars are you going to make an appearance at ralphamenia are you going to get in the room yes are you accepting applications i think we would make beautiful babies together yes yes yes but you have to be unvaccinated i only want unvaccinated cum oh god this is out i only want the cum of unvaccinated men not little boys i only like men i like men real men well it's good to see a real triumph of the human spirit that uh ethan ralph isn't allowing his his arrest to get him down yeah someone sent ethan ralph a clip i didn't harass her i just said take the mask off your face take a mask off the child free your face free yourself be free at last pressed here i mean maybe not really good baby pepe sent three dollars wealth there's enough of everything holy take i'm about to take it back okay take the phone back no it's fine i know where i'm going this place is good but do you think it's going to stay open yeah i know for a fact somebody of okay that's inspiring to see that ethan ralph has rebounded from his arrest a highly patriarchal set of laws yeah but i think the thing that they they don't seem to understand they shoot themselves in the foot these pro-life type people is that we have detailed data on the kind of people that get abortions and we have detailed data on the heritability of the traits that are involved so there is research indicating abortion people that have abortions and particularly people that have multiple abortions which is 42 percent of women that have had an abortion that have more than one in england um have different personality traits there are not people who have abortions are high in histrionic personality traits that is to say they are attention seeking they are low in agreeableness they're just basically unstable and not very nice people they are high in narcissistic personality traits which includes low empathy and low altruism and they are high in anti-social personality traits that is to say psychopathic personality traits um so the kind of women that have abortions are on average narcissistic psychopathic and histrionic and the heritability of these traits is at least 0.5 um if not higher if not more in the region of 0.6 and so women that have abortions are helping to remove some of these people like them that is to say anti-social unpleasant people from the g-ball oh my god i can watch you arrest that mother earlier you know i didn't get to see that because i walked that's odd yeah someone sent ethan robb a clip i didn't harass her i just said yeah i know for a fact some of you my girlfriend fiora is going to russia and she's going to russia and she's hot yes she's going to russia really yes yes yes okay uh let's meet her anonymous and she knows i am now getting vaccinated asap oh i see just in case do it boosted end vaccine to get back with kippos this fucking pen doesn't even work i like so i get stopped to try to fuck with okay where are you going yeah i'm actually hungry i haven't eaten today i know that's not true we had some case uh we had a little bit of case but that's it yeah i'm hungry and the police fucked with me i thought we got some good footage before hey what's going on at the capitol i haven't been able to see i mean at the supreme court is this place open until midnight i can't really read chat this place open until my person sent three dollars i'm calling the police current sexually harassed the whole chat wow what hey hold this down here where they can't see where i'm going they can't see i don't want to get in trouble i know where they're coming you're not just get to be yeah let's hold it up here so they can see every fucking landmark there is on the way there yeah that's good that's a good idea gotta have some opsec here ethan ralph trying for the human spirit you apparently don't know how autistic some of these fuckers are i think one time they're trying out like in ireland you have these witches on this on this bus from Dublin to Belfast singing this song to val dunican we need a borsch and like making light of it we need a borsch quick simple and free please give let's surely let them have abortions they want to resign from the gene pool and it is for the good of the gene pool that they do so yeah we must be cruel only to be kind is generally my attitude towards this that's a phrase from our guy hamlet but i i i it's hard for me not to agree and i think there's there's also been a and this is even worth discussing in itself there has been a noticeable change in the sense that abortion in the 70s was declared a right of privacy and bell says look these three dollar text to speech chats are evidence of defeat nick puentes takes them now puentes has two hour shows these days healthy shows uh three hours dollar wise but yeah three dollars to have your say i'm not sure this is really helping public discourse see which is a kind of euphemism you could say uh the famously bill clinton said we we abortion should be um safe legal and rare so they they kind of inherently said this is not something we want to do but it's not something that we want to make it legal and that's just open up this huge can of worms by doing that including throwing potentially these throwing women in prison in my book which is feminism and the fall of the west i talked about where i did an article on a woman that had had three abortions this is what i wanted to get to talk about her a little bit well okay yeah let's talk about her she so she i met her at a conference at an academic conference and then one day when i'm years ago whenever it was 10 years ago when i was working for this english language newspaper i put out an abortion in finland is the most restricted of any scandinavian country you have to go in and say what an abortion they have to go and think about it for a week or something and then you have to go back and there's no abortion on demand um it's more it's more strict conservative here and so i thought well this is in the news that's my hook so i'll do an article about it for the newspaper about abortion in finland i'll interview someone that's having abortion so i put out on facebook look because anyone had abortion if so get in touch with me anonymously and this girl went back and said i volunteer uh and and she hadn't just had one she'd had three uh and um and the first one um she she had she was going out with boyfriend and he was a drug addict and whatever and uh and so she had an abortion uh then then she got pregnant and she and she kept that child um and then then the third time um she um she was she didn't feel bad about it because she took the morning after pill which just didn't work that was the second occasion so she thought that's fair enough for me to have an abortion and then she got pregnant another time and so she obviously just didn't learn from her mistakes she wasn't able to efficiently use contraception like i got the distinctive she was underweight she was underweight so i got the impression she was quite sort of mentally unstable which is consistent with the kind of people that get abortions um and yeah and then so she told me all this and i did the article and then um sometime later i met her in a cafe just by chance and it was just really tense because i knew too much and she knew i knew too much it was horrible uh nothing to say to each other anymore uh and i think that there is a sense in which she did feel because she said so in that she felt what she was doing when she first said it was very very wrong and she remembered crying and saying my baby will never see this sunrise because she felt on some level that it was murder and i think uh on on some level a lot of women do think that um even if they have it they still kind of think it and i think a lot of us it kind of is you kind of can't help but thinking but that that uh embryo even if it is got no consciousness it's got no feelings whatever but it has the potential for life uh for human life and it's completely and totally reliant on its mother and on the love of its mother it's totally reliant on it in the way that that mother was once in the same position right on her own mother not to fall down the stairs not to drink not to stick a needle up herself in a warm bath whatever um and uh and and it is it is it is the it is the most vulnerable member of our community um and yet it is or future member of our community and yet it is the member of our community that has less rights than than an animal and so you can see the cognitive dissonance that it brings about it does have i agree i i have something i i hopefully something is interesting to say on this real quick on less rights than an animal i did find it fascinating that um uh pete budigieg the one-time presidential candidate who we talked about um if you uh a year or so ago um he and chastin or chastin or not not not so chastin um uh they have had a surrogate child and they actually photograph themselves in a hospital bed for some reason holding a newborn and i it's interesting because i i recently got a new dog and you know you usually wait about six weeks with a puppy because the dog needs to breastfeed bond with his mother bond with his siblings and so on a human child however is ripped right from his mother's arms and put into the hands of chastin uh it's it's it is rather shocking pete budigieg has a husband yes he's very brave yeah he is a quirk um but yes um you're the only one who thinks he's not gay you're like is he quack um no um he's a quack he's definitely a quack uh no it's it's it's a it's a it's a it's a definite it's a definite problem it's a definite it's something that makes me personally i'm sure but on the one hand it's yeah there's some sense in which in which okay let's uh let's check in with Mr Ethan Ralph how's the boy doing whoa whoa look at that guy whoa whoa i better better turn off the music but uh i think twice before for messing with the Ethan Ralph man it's a community that um triumphs over other communities in the battle of group selection has a sense of itself as sacred and a sense of itself as god being on its side you're god bless america Trump's having a good night based on these endorsements all right so let's get to it uh jd vance is in yellow you see how much yellow covers the map here throughout the state of ohio what you were talking about down here in the southwestern part of the state this is hamlin and county uh this is Cincinnati dolin expected to do well in this city okay but jd vance lives there and he's holding his own right now just north of here you mentioned well butler county advanced doing well there also there's a little town here called middle town it's right on the border butler county and warren county why do i mention that if you follow the book and the movie of hillbilly elegy that is where jd vance spent a lot of his youth remember he was from kentucky moved to southwestern ohio that was a spot right there uh in middle town you mentioned claremont too listen uh vance is doing really well here also you mentioned warren let me just jump over here um to warren county as well and just watch what vance is doing he's at 36 percent so this i mean that you find a lot of republican votes in southwestern ohio that is point number one point number two in the middle you talked about columbus ohio this is franklin county uh dolin expected to do well here he's doing decent uh but he's from northern ohio and i'm going to show you right now where you really expected to do well i mentioned delaware county and i showed this a bit earlier today this is where trump had the rally with jd vance and he's at 35 percent in delaware county if josh mandel or dolin really wanted to cut in vance's league you expect to see that perhaps in counties like delaware quickly growing uh rather effluent uh this is kayahoga county in cleveland dolin's doing well here also but again it's it's the rest of this state where you see jd vance just wiping up you know in the southwest and the southern part of the state some of these rural counties also up here in the northeast also remember remember when trump won in 2016 we're at the board that night shon and i was showing you that these are counties that have been held by democrats for 50 years and trump broke through that wall and but listen i mean there's gonna be a lot of pieces written this week about trump's endorsement and what it means i can tell you that i mean this is jd vance territory right now okay go back a year and a half ago this is biden and trump in ohio and this is trump winning easily by eight points what we don't show on the map is what he did in 2016 when he won the state by eight points as well ohio is a red state ohio is a trump state based on the su presidential elections so far tonight we come back here to the senate race trump went in there and made endorsements in 12 different races of which one i'm just showing you right now with jd vance here in ohio who looks to be in a comfortable position right now about half of the vote counted he made endorsements in 11 other races so far tonight he has nine for nine in the congressional races and he is leading in the three others including the senate race it's a pretty good night for the former president on the democratic side tim ryan has been called for him this nobody was really thinking about this right 70 percent of the vote counted for tim ryan he is a democrat okay let's have a look at a tweet here from joseph cotto he says as i grow older i come to like the america i live in less and less has no common culture at no core of identity an increasingly polarized electric electric the toxic pop culture an ever more activist left-wing media and academic government complex and a generally ignorant populace so is it really america is just getting worse and worse and worse or is joseph cotto unhappy with his life and then he projects on to america and i i don't know which one but i do notice with with many people on the distant right it's very clear that they're unhappy with their life and then they project on that unhappiness onto wider america america has all the problems that joseph cotto lists but i i live in the same america with many of these problems and i feel like i'm as happy as a clan so if if joseph cotto is not happy and i think it's america that's primarily at issue there if you're unhappy it's not primarily because of america it's primarily because of you the sanctity of life and all of this whole thing and abortion and the fact that christianity which i'm going to argue in a future book is highly group selective it sanctifies life like that is is uh perhaps part of its success in the way that others others don't i mean abortion is perfectly acceptable about you know you get women that are pregnant among the anamama of venezuela and they'll get their friends to jump on their stomach um or they'll you just commit infanticide or have assurance that jadie vance has been coming out of the window is a kind of a primary it's it's interesting because there are going to be other states too i know for example i was in Pennsylvania who i'm supporting um he's had tens and tens of millions of dollars i believe president trump has a rally with him uh later this week uh it's going to be interesting to see if that effect carries in a lot of states north carolining he got georgia and right we got a story to follow to see what this party does all right bill hammer at the big board thank you sir when we come back the great one mark levin and what yeah the great one mark levin i really wonder what mark levin has to say but if donald trump runs in 2024 he seems to be poised for the victory country but i do sir i do i think it extends to the animama i think that they have their own and um and exposure of course the greeks practiced exposure aristotle wrote about his disbelief that the egyptians didn't practice exposure right um so it was perfectly if you had none healthy charge you just left it out for the to be taken away whatever and um and so there was this there's this sanctity of life element which they are lacking but on the other hand there is a there is something um logical about it i mean if you think about the chaos that's happening in ireland now you've got that this has gone from being an extremely religious conservative society which it was the first time i went there in 2002 to within 10 years or a bit more than that being read more woke than england and it's just incredible how much is this flipped and um it strikes me that it might be relevant to that that they didn't legalize abortion until a few years ago yeah all of these these these histrionic narcissistic psychopathic women who in england since 1967 would have been proportionately more likely to have abortions in ireland probably would have been well they wouldn't they would have been less likely to okay the ones that have a bit of money would make their way to england and have an abortion in england um that that was a and uh marlon says joseph cotto is saying he's unhappy with america not that he's unhappy that armchair psychologizing was was unnecessary well it's just a general perspective like why is it that a certain tax or a certain event or a certain piece of music or a certain film or certain politics resonates with you it says something about you so when when i talk i'm not just saying something about joseph cotto if i talk about joseph cotto i am in part perhaps talking about joseph cotto but i'm probably primarily talking about myself so if i'm saying something on abortion ostensibly i'm commenting on abortion but i'm probably saying more about myself whatever use what language you will you cannot say anything but what you are and we cannot help but look out through the world through a particular pair of glasses and when you change the pair of glasses then you change your perspective on the world so i wasn't slamming joseph cotto i was just making the point that the position of the observer is an integral part of the data and personal unhappiness is a driving force for the more extreme brands of politics in a way in regard to joseph cotto as extreme but i don't believe that trends in america are the primary things that would make people unhappy right there's certainly some negative trends in america but there are also some positive trends in america overall the situation in america is not the primary cause of any americans unhappiness well known phenomenon that the abortion boat deliverable to get the abortion but otherwise so you've just got this build up of ghastly people and those are the very people that were making their way on that bus to belfast singing their lighthearted song about abortion right it's this this ironic cycle of a a christian society kind of sets the stage for a decadent society that is going to become anti christian and then maybe back again i would add this i mean i agree with most everything you're saying i would add this the way that people argue for and against abortion is all within the confines of a rational liberalism and so for instance yes you can certainly find a pro-life christian who will who will simply say this is in the bible no you know we follow the bible literally it's that we can of course find that but what you mostly find is a an argument that goes something like this this person first off life does does begin at conception even if the you know a fetus or even an early multiplying cells are not conscious there is that spark of life and so they must be treated like a human and they are the most vulnerable humans out there so this is all liberalism human rights type arguments um and where else do they go with this oh right a lot of people who are pro-choice will talk about rape or you know child molestation or incest or some of these just really terrible things and the the pro-life answer to that is well it's you know rape incest molestation those are already crimes but the life and so anyone who engages in that should be prosecuted but the life in question is not the woman it's actually the child and the child has not engaged in rape or incest or child molestation so his right should be protected but it's all that human rights kind of dogma the other liberal version of this whether you know it might just be based on just pure choice and you know oh it's great to get an abortion so you can go have more sex and career or whatever but if they actually want to explain it they also explain it within terms of liberalism so this is your body and you are in control you have total sovereignty over your body you can do with it whatever you want you can be abstinent you could be a pornography actress it's up to you and a parasite in your body kind of does not have rights over you so that child that is the movement to this individualistic worldview which is both are individualistic i guess what i'm saying is i permit me if i just say this and i'm not trying to be pretentious but immanuel cons he criticized pure rationality what he understood is that if you engage in just pure reasoning you are going to reach a paradox at some point and zeno found this out long before play-doh what he meant is you pure reason is actually limited and you have it has to interface with the real world to be taken seriously both of those arguments which i represented are pure liberal reasoning and they're both kind of right and i don't think they're ever going to defeat the other argument because you're just engaging in the abstract language of rights in both cases and yeah there's a little feminism potpourri thrown in here and there's a little bit of christian spice thrown in here but it's still a liberal argument and you just can't get past that a counter argument is that yeah exactly is that you are a group or a group oriented species and yes you are an individual woman but that that child that fetus is part of the group right it's it's distinct it's distinct forget about whether it has rights i don't care about that it's part of the group and it's a matter for other people not just yes it's about would you say that men should become warriors and women should birth warriors all else's folly perhaps i wouldn't say that but it's it's their relative it's their right what it is you make a non-liberal argument it's their child it's their nephew their niece their co-ethnic and it relates to them and so and you relate to them as well and so this idea that you're separate and distinct from the body from the from the group of which you're part no you're not you're you're reliant on that group and it's cooperative interaction and and what it produces and whatever in order to survive and therefore um you are you can't be separated from it in such a black and white way i think that's the argument and i also think that i quite like davis chappelle's argument which is that um why is it that the women have the right you know they can just say i can have an abortion okay that's their right they're right well then surely the man should have the right to say look bitch if you're gonna have this baby i don't want then i don't have to support it um that would be you know that's he should have a right as well surely he should have the right to say look i don't want to have this child you're gonna go ahead and have it i don't want it so so i shouldn't be hassled to support it when i thought it was quite he does makes quite intelligent point i remember i had an english teacher in high school who noted why is it that uh all the women who are most adamantly against abortion of women you wouldn't want to have sex with anyway well people who are most adamantly against abortion tend to be older and they tend to be more religiously and politically zealous and not exactly the the young winsome demographic so you're probably wondering what the heck is going on with even ralph why did he get arrested free bird okay not only that nifuentes heartbroken folks he's a heartbroken jilted scorned ex-lover his dumper pumping but buddy jaden has abandoned him adans in contact with cwc jaden's in contact with jake loyed and apu and you

the grandpa really was ashamed of flam apparently you know ralph emailed this like flam's porn history to his whole family which is pretty fucked up but i was just waiting for like flam's dad to burst into his bedroom and be like i'm cutting it down now so i need to get it off the internet now but i don't like his flam lives at this fucking parent still i was waiting for him to kick him off the internet yeah i'm just watching this purely for research purposes oh man what's what's happened to what happened to ralph is that it for ralph but uh fuck you ralph you slime ball piece of shit for doing that to flamco's family oh my favorite thing that you ever did was the fucking barbecue like the andy you see this you mother fucker like it's we'll watch it in a second here uh jack tuxan uh a Tucson for sneaking up to people no no but uh yeah thank you so much uh it's for your life for i am for the break i mean nick's saying it's jaden didn't compliment him enough i didn't get enough guys this is today's show is insane it is absolutely a banger tonight everyone hit that fucking like button and welcome to the show we're gonna get into it right after i am uh and i remember we're reading all the dough knows that are under like copper where i'm at and it's hurting his fuck folks so we get like one megabit per first of all look at that this posture dude everyone's like no like he's like a hunchback like fun look at this chin bro it's like fucking like how many chins oh my god like what the fuck man there's like a meat bag hanging bro well it's personal box come on guys look at the first jen bro it's like jimmy like he has down syndrome or some sort of physical disability that involves mental retardation or oh i gotta disavow these kind of personal insults let's get back to the high minor conversation it's natural pal um but but um yeah it's it's uh i mean there was a but all the intelligent points is is when you get away from liberal rationality i guess that's just what i'm trying to put forward it's like engaging in pure mathematics to understand politics you're just going to reach these weird paradoxes both liberal arguments are correct i can't find like logical faults with them but that just proves that that's not the way you should think about the world and davis jeppell is a lot smarter than middle class liberal because he kind of gets it of like their incentives and volunteer and so on and i think it actually is moral to apply pragmatism to this to the case of abortion and ask who's having these abortions well yes indeed i mean we know he doesn't there was research by michael woodley of mani and his team which found that there's no uh there's no correlation between intelligence and abortion you think they might be because you thought these uh perhaps there is now but and it perhaps it's changing but when he did this study um based on what you have two kinds of people that have abortions you have these uh low iq people basically that leave it too late and they can't uh you use the morning after pill and so they have to have an abortion um and then you get sort of middle-class unpleasant people yeah and they and they haven't and also older people just women that are older and they find out they want a child with Down Syndrome or something and they have an abortion and they'll often be more intelligent um and so uh and so they sort of cancel each other out so um abortion doesn't seem to be doing anything to intelligence it certainly seems to be reducing intelligence um it may even be increasing it because it strikes me that you the abortion statistics now for america anyway are that it's overwhelmingly poorer people have abortions um and that and those people will tend to be of lower intelligence and i guess this is because people that are increasingly people that are more educated and rich just aren't having babies and so having babies and abortions is a matter for the less well off and then of course those personality traits and those personality traits i mean that they are just genetic those are the kinds of people you don't want in the society i mean talk about a christian perspective there was actually um a britain the dean of st paul's cathedral uh the very reverend william in and he presented a christian case for eugenics including abortion and he said a good tree he said the the sermon on the mount itself implies that humans are animals that can be worse or better bred and he said a good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit it says that in the bible and and he said this is quite clear saying that we should have that we should have um eugenics and he said that eugenics believe that less civilization is guarded by scientific principles it must come to ruin we stand by scientific as against emotional or sentimentalist ethics and yeah he was a leading christian of his time i mean look i god bless him uh but that's that's not you rarely hear that kind those kinds of sentiments from christians in fact what we've seen is a kind of reaction to the texas law of almost endorsing dysgenics of promoting uh down syndrome births of all i i think 80 to 100 of which are terminated in in european countries like france and island i was looking at the statistics of these and they are the majority of them are terminated in united states through abortion um but uh again the people who are really in support of the the the texas law were just they were becoming almost radically it's 70 70 in the united states down syndrome 90 in britain and in island they have a they they have a policy that they want to be down syndrome free mm-hmm and you do notice that i remember when i was a child you would see these people with down syndrome about yeah and now you don't they're all dead and there aren't new ones finland some of them host podcast finland finland has finland has a rate of 50% only for down syndrome abortion right you do see quite a few of them here but uh and they're not in not and the expense involved i mean i count the expense and the illness and the whatever it is unbelievable the expense yeah and the constant chronic illness that they have it's long huge long list of terrible problems right and we're just in a different society i mean the sadly i mean we we just have to recognize this fact that children were once considered assets and are now kind of considered liabilities now i am perfectly willing to impoverish myself on behalf of my children because i get it but the fact is you you don't have more kids and then they help out at the farm and it's almost like this just benefit you're you're getting dividends from children no you you have children and you raise them that's a lot of time money for education and so on going forward and whether they're going to actually take care of you when you're 90 or something you know you hope so but it's not guaranteed we just had a difference we didn't have leaks in this campaign we didn't have people stabbing each other in the back we were a team and we will be a team all the way to november um i have absolutely got to think the 45th the president of united states donald j trump ladies and gentlemen one forgiveness example of what could be in this country ladies and gentlemen remember 2019 when wages were going up and not down remember 2019 when workers were doing well in this country not struggling terribly thanks to the president for everything for endorsing me and i got to say a lot of the fake news media out there and and and there are some good ones in the back there there's some bad ones too let's be honest but they wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of donald trump's america first agenda ladies and gentlemen it ain't the death of the america first agenda it wasn't just the president of course we had a lot of endorsements especially some of our early endorsements i want to make sure i i give some shout-outs to penny nance a great advocate for life and for people all across the country you know let me go back to us okay let's check in on russia versus ukraine almost as big as ethan routh versus wasky hey everyone petersine here coming to you from colorado today i wanted to talk about the change in the russian strategy not necessarily from an economic point of view but more from a political one the key issue was that giant convoy on the third day of the war that was coming from belarus down to Kiev something like 40 miles long thousands of vehicles and it stalled out in a day because the russians forgot fuel trucks and then it got abandoned for a while because the russians forgot food and logistical supply and that's kind of been the defining factor of the war to this point is the russians just seem to be utterly incompetent in logistics and multi-domain operations so the west took one lesson from that which i've already spoken to the russians took another one the russians now realize that they're not going to be welcomed in as liberators and that means they view the entire ukrainian population and anyone who supports them as a mortal enemy the russians feel that this is an existential crisis for them they they know that if i can't advance just through ukraine but beyond it that they're not going to be able to survive in the long term from a strategic point of view they just don't have the demographic strength to do it so the whole idea is you use your troops to plug gaps but first they have to get through ukraine and so they're falling back on a much older strategy one they used against napoleon one they used against hitler one they used in chechnya one they used in syria and that is the complete obliteration of all civilian infrastructure and the idea behind that is threefold number one if you make an area ininhabitable uh in industrial age then people feel they have to leave so number two it generates a huge number of refugees by design and then third you have a lot of people who for whatever reason stay uh most of whom are not fighters but the russians don't care their idea is if you destroy all the civilian infrastructure and someone stays behind then clearly they have an independent food supply that's coming from abroad and so clearly they are in fair game and you can kill them on site to that end the russians have recalled most of their Wagner group mercenaries they've recruited militants from within the syrian space they're tapping the Chechens and basically the russians are advancing slowly with artillery until there's nothing left standing and then they send in these groups to execute on site everyone they find we also know from russian intercepts uh that the butchham massacres were not one-offs they're happening throughout the space that the russians have occupied it's it's inhumane by really any measure but the russians are very good at fighting this sort of war also by design it generates a huge number of refugees so okay just want to check in with fox news at the top of the hour here getting received 60 this weekend is going to be on which which do you identify with if you think it ought to be birthing person's day you ought to be a democrat if you think it ought to be mother's day you ought to be a republican it's that simple and that's why they're going to lose and i think lose maybe for two generations because they're just nuts yeah well i mean look if kevin mccarthy if you're right and apparently the president was not angry at the tapes that were released and they have made amends that's between them i'm not getting the middle of that but if they follow your lead that you laid out an agenda positive agenda to save the country like you did in 94 it will be 94 2010 and maybe even bigger uh anyway mr speaker thanks for being with us unfortunately that's all the time we have left please set your dvr never miss an episode thank you for making this show possible let not your heart be troubled the great show laura ingram is next have a great night i'm laura ingram this is ingram angle from a hysterical washington tonight thanks for joining us we're gonna have more on jd vance's big ohio win a little bit later in the show and other races that went the america first way but first the anti-democrats that's the focus of tonight okay we'll pass on that let's get back to as of april 29 the day i'm recording this we already know there's at least 8.3 million refugees who have fled the country and another 7.7 that are internally displaced within the country and the un estimates that there's another 12 million ukrainians who are trapped in place by the war because of either the destruction of the infrastructure or the shells are still falling so that's collectively that's half over half of ukraine's pre-war population and we know now that the russians are going to do this everywhere uh it doesn't matter to the russians who the target is so for example the cities of karkiv and myriapole have been under assault since the beginning these are ethnic russian cities these are places that were relatively pro-russia before the war they're certainly not now and that means that the russian strategy of tapping fifth columns before the war probably isn't going to carry on because whether you're a russian in kazakhstan or georgia or latvia or moldova you now know that the russians really don't care about not just their ethnic kin but their their own ethnicity and that changes some of the math i don't think we failed frankly we conduct our military operations not a war it's a military operation it has its own strategy it's called it's has its own aims now because of the size of the refugee community it's already far larger than any refugee movements we have seen in history ever and it's happened so fast so more people are now displaced than during even the indian partitions and there's only so many people who can help one of the groups that can help is a group called the afia foundation afyafoundation.org it's a group that we have decided to help share with the world and i've got as many people as possible afya is now bringing gains across the entire country and that means we have a country of 45 million people that is either going to descend into partisan warfare or into a massive refugee community or both so please give what you can so that folks like afya can kind of get a jump start on this and put together that's about 15 000 miles of interconnected waterway now why is that important two things one moving stuff from a to b is a bit of a bitch but moving it by water is actually pretty easy in terms of locomotion costs it's one fifteenth the cost once you add in everything from the taxes that go into the infrastructure it's about one fiftieth to one seventieth the cost based on where you are the united states has 15 000 miles in one system the rest of the world combined has 13 000 miles so it doesn't matter if we intellect a monkey we're going to be okay because we have this as an advantage and it overlays the greatest chunk of arable land on the planet we are always going to be capital rich as a result because it's just cheaper for us to move things from a to b second we are the only country on the planet that has a spatial orientation that allows us to have a major population on both trading basins so when the asians are in recession we can trade with the europeans when the europeans are in recession we can trade with the asians when we're in recession we export it to the world because we're just that kind of people that's not really a joke every recession we've had since 1945 has gone global we have yet to import one as a side effect of this yeah so when you can't talk about what you want to talk about meaning the interests of your people all right you have to use proxies like abortion that's the overall theme for tonight now there's a downside in having to always talk in euphemisms always having to talk in proxy terms having to say lies out loud such as you know every individual of every group is just equally talented is that when you speak lies and you write lies you start to think in lies right so we're not coming to grips with this massive crime wave and traffic fatality wave and pedestrian death wave that's hitting united states of america because we can't be specific about you know which groups are suffering the post which is the black community all right blacks have had an astronomical increase in driving deaths since the george floyd riots as police have cut back on policing as police have stopped back on making routine traffic stops then we've had an explosion of bad driving and that has resulted in a rapid increase in black deaths it has not resulted in a rapid increase in white deaths or asian deaths on the road so the people who are behaving more cautiously they generally speaking are not being victimized by this rapid increase in traffic death pedestrian death and in crime we've had a massive explosion in crime since george floyd died and we can't talk honestly about law enforcement and public education and public transportation because we can't talk honestly about how different groups have different gifts and so republicans have been waging a battle for their people's interest using abortion as a proxy but now it seems that they may well have finally achieved their golden grail of reversing rovey wade and the results may be absolutely disastrous for republicans i'm not sure i'm not predicting that but it's certainly possible the conventional wisdom is that this development of the supreme court appearing to be on track to reverse rovey wade will be very good for democrats that's the conventional wisdom so maybe republicans will be hoisted on their own petard because republicans and conservative activists have not been able to speak for what they really want to advocate for because they have had to use euphemisms now they've internalized these euphemisms so that people get all emotional about abortion for example and and think that abortion is such a critical issue now they get what they want and we'll see if they get hoisted on their own petard laura ingram's making a good point here if if the case for you know unlimited access for abortion all right for at least the first trimester is is so widespread and so popular then why do democrats fear this case going to the people well that least he admitted what was really happening the killing of a child well i know the left loves confusing people but let's be clear about this overturning row i'll say it slowly for you does not mean abortion is outlawed in all 50 states although that's what the pro-life community are hoping and praying for for sure overturning row simply means again i'll go slowly that voters in each state will have a say in how abortion would be regulated if at all now roe took that decision away from the voters by making this spurious argument that abortion itself was a fundamental right protected in the 14th amendment and i have a question tonight why are pro-abortion forces so upset because of abortion is as popular as they claim why they're worried about what happens next that's a good point because if abortion is indeed popular democrats should be thrilled to test that theory out in all 50 states but i'll tell you what's really going on they do not trust the people because if the voters choose some right progressivism is fundamentally about the rule of the elites communism is fundamentally about the rule of the elites left wing the further you go left the more and more it's about replacing the sovereignty of the people with the sovereignty of experts so when you have left-wing parties in power they are increasingly anti-populus the populace believes in the wisdom of the virtue of the common person right progressives populism's enemies right progressives leftist socialist communists they believe in rule by the elites and they believe in the elites doing what is best for the people and so populace can be on the left or they can be on the right and jay biden has many populist tendencies but in the western world today populism is much more associated with the right because leftism has become increasingly the religion the governing ideology of the ruling class and of the elites who are inherently anti-populus and the elites stay in power by making pragmatic alliances with various segments of society be it the middle class the upper class the lower classes the elites like a pluralist society because pluralism destroys the power of the people because the people no longer feel they have much in common so the people become so increasingly divided into various subsections that the people cannot effectively mount a rebellion against the ruling elites and the ruling class so you have populism and progressivism their opposites right pluralism progressivism leftism socialism communism these are all on the left and they all believe in rule by experts and then you have populism which believes in the virtue of the people and that the people sovereignty should should dominate and so the left you see by their reaction to this ruling how much they distrust the people and i'm not a populist i'm a populist in some things i believe in expert rule in other things i don't think the elites are typically more wrong than the populist or less wrong than the populist i don't instinctively side with the populist or the elites or the experts or the ruling class or the lower classes i just go wherever i feel like the truth is leading me but laura ingram's touching on something important here or someone that the left doesn't like they'll say the system is broken they try to rig the system then so right so when the leftists in the media and academic elites say you know our democracy is broken they don't mean democracy as in the will of the people right if you're pro democracy you're pro this apparent supreme court ruling because it restores sovereignty to to the people right but they stay our democracy not democracy our democracy is broken and what do they mean by our democracy they increasingly mean rule by experts and rule by the elites rather than rule by the people so it's our democratic institutions which are broken institutions they feel like they can control right our democratic institutions which increasingly give power to an administrative state and to a ruling class of experts who cannot be held in check by the will of the people so the more diverse america is the less you have a people who can effectively rebel against a ruling class against elite class against rule by experts so that conservatives never went again hence their incessant talk over things like court packing you heard that tedious chant and ending the filibuster etc so if they win america still has a functioning democracy if they lose it's all illegitimate and a sign that democracy is on the ropes if republicans win in the mid-term elections that voting as we know it in this country will be gone our democracy is at risk and if the house takes back the is taken back by the republicans our democracy will be stepped on again yet the ironic thing is these so-called progressives that they've been they're the ones that have been tearing down our democratic institutions trashing our norms and all of our procedures literally ripping down our historical statues and monuments no votes there they've been doing this for years now they allege that our systems of commerce government business of course now the court structurally racist they so laura ingram was about the first major political player who came out in serious support for donald trump so she came out in support for donald trump in i think late may of 2015 and she was the first major person to do so and she did so primarily on the issue of immigration they say our framers were racist and now they want to prevent certain gop candidates even who they don't like who and certainly don't think like someone they'll tolerate like mit romney they want to prevent them from even running for office at all they believe free speech on social media is dangerous they believe that fox news should be outlawed they're ideal type of government these big pro-democracy people their ideal type of government produces places like new york city and chicago americans have begun though to figure it all out haven't they what's become of these modern democrats they don't want an independent media just like they don't want an independent judiciary and they certainly don't want many of the states to be self-governing or to set their own priorities on issues that are important to those states today's democrats prefer that a small homogeneous group of elites or to the rest of us around my friends that is not democracy no serious person thought that the framers wrote the 14th amendment to just validate whatever would end up would end up being the new york times the song from john hinkley we are drifting on the sea all the ups and downs i had along the way the long and mournful sounds the hell i had to pay everyone i know is free the sun is shining bright we are drifting on the sea everyone is here waiting for the time it is like the wind looking so sublime i am just a guy who made it through the rain i really don't i over he got a chance it's just you and a different circumstance we are drifting on looking so sublime we are drifting
