Tucker Carlson had a guest on to
talk about, I swear this is
a conversation about the use of
pronouns that people prefer.
Which turns into a conversation
about how the left hates sex and
doesn't want babies to be born
somehow.
And it gets even worse from there.
Take a look.
>> What are the more subtle
implications of a declining
fertility rate?
>> Well,
most people point to the economy as
the driver of the problem.
People just start having kids
because they can't afford it.
And I think there's actually
a cultural driver going on Tucker.
Really, there's this cultural dogma
that's telling little girls that
their greatest value in society is
to the extent that they can
maneuver to monetize their
talents and abilities.
You saw this over
Mother's Day weekend with prominent
publications, prominent feminists,
who were really denigrating
motherhood and extolling
intentional childlessness.
You can see it in the Biden plan to
$225 billion to have nationalized,
daycare to
get bodies into the workforce.
It's essentially Tucker you could
say handmaids of capitalism that's
being pushed when the truth of
the matter is women,
still want to be mothers.
And they're essentially cauterizing
their hearts, to put off having
children, put off having more than
one child to go into the workforce
establish their careers first and
they run at a time.
>> Okay, I apologize.
That is Rebecca Heinrichs of
the Hudson Institute trying to take
the obvious unfair critique that
the GOP is being modeled after
Gillean Handmaid's Tale to just
flip everything on its head.
But we don't have much time.
So I want to play the third video
for this blocks so
we can combine our commentary.
Of that its feminism has
ruined women and
has trained them to not want kids.
And now it's going to get
even creepier.
>> Men and women come together and
create new life like the whole
thing is repulsive to them.
Why is that?.
>> Well, I think it's because it
started with the feminist movement
that they felt that that empowered
a woman's future.
But I think it also reflects
reality, Tucker, that the age
when people are getting married,
having children, buying a home,
buying a house has gone from
mid-20s to mid-30s.
And where our crisis right now is
that, we're not reproducing
ourselves, we're about one point
eight >> Yeah.
>> Rather than two point
one or two.
And we're suffering from
what prolonged adolescence.
These children, or
they have adult bodies but
they have the minds of children.
They don't want to grow up.
AOC is a good example of a person
who's suffering from prolonged
adolescence.
But they just don't want to
take off their training wheels and
go out and experience life, and
it's adventures and dangerous.
>> So AOC I believe at the time
that she was elected the youngest
Congresswoman in American
history is a prolonged adolescent,
the body of an adult but
really a child's mind.
She's only fundamentally changed
the way the entire United States
thinks about climate policy in
a number of other things like
raising it to the top of our
political awareness.
But she's basically just
a child's brain in an adult's body.
>> That's why you guys spend
24/7 attacking her because
she's not important, right?
If she's just a child,
that's why 80% of your programming
centers around her.
Okay, so, but let's now go to
the heart of the issue here.
And there was an interesting stew
of talking points in there.
And there was one in there that was
really interesting.
So first, you have the standard
Fox News stuff.
Women, what are you doing?
Get back in the kitchen
in the bedroom.
Your job is to make babies your
baby machines,
because we need boys.
Yeah, I guess you make girls
everyone's allowed to but
that's not important.
We're going to control
their bodies too.
So before they were like hey we
don't want you to have choice over
your own body in reproductive
issues.
Now they're going further.
No, no, you must create
babies, right?
And so,
no I don't want you going to work.
Get back at home.
But you saw it right there.
They're like, we have a fertility
problem, if you watch the longer
clips of those Tucker's like
obsessed with fertility by the way,
he of course he doesn't mean for
all Americans, let's keep it real.
In other segments,
they've talked about how white
people are having fertility issues.
And then as a former congressman
King said,
we can't reproduce our civilization
with other people's babies, okay?
And they're particularly concerned
about Latino babies in this case
because they think they have high
fertility rates and
white people don't.
And so they're saying no,
it's a trick white people, okay?
And now the second part of that is,
that's 1955 that it reveals their
complete hand.
They're totally sexist.
So, most sexiest thing
in the world that to view women as
just basically chattel to produce
babies for themselves.
And then the second portion
of it is this totally
disconnected from today's reality.
Why do you think women are in
the workforce?
Why do you think like both
partners are constantly working.
Because you can't make enough
money, the wages are so damn low.
If you have two minimum wage
workers in that family then
they work the entire year with no
days off, congratulations.
Your family combined both of
you together,
made a little over $30,000
not individually, the whole family.
So you want the mom to go and
you want them to have a kid.
And all the expenses of a kid now
the only two dads working and
he's making $15,000 how are they
going to afford that?
They're not having kids because
they're being rational.
They have no earthly prayer of
being able to afford it and
who created that?
You created that Tucker Carlson.
Fox News created that.
Republicans created that lower
wages, lower wages, crush them,
crush them, crush them, right?
And to this day, you're still
arguing against a higher wages for
American workers.
But then comes the really
interesting and weird part of it.
Hen meets of capitalism and
it several times in that segment,
both his guests and Tucker Carlson
spoke out against capitalism.
What in the world is going on at
Fox News?
They have created some sort of
weird Kamera >> That's fake
populism.
>> Right?
of populism and that's anti
capitalist While pushing for laws
that are Uber capitalists, that
are massively runaway capitalism.
But disguising it as of all things
to sell it to the Fox News audience
as socialism.
They're like, don't worry guys,
we hate capitalism, go socialism.
There real problem is the goddamn
capitalists are making
the women work.
How was that for topsy-turvy?
>> I think you're exactly right.
I mean, this is such an insult
to women.
They know their policies have
failed women, so
they're just trying to paint
feminism as this Boogeyman because
they have nothing else to offer.
Women, especially women of color
are really struggling economically
right now.
And if Republicans really
cared about fostering the next
generation of young women,
they would really be advocating for
things like paid leave, abortion
access, raising the minimum wage.
But just this past week, they voted
against the Paycheck Fairness Act.
So I don't know why they're acting
like they don't know why some women
are delaying motherhood.
It's economic instability, and
I think their policies are really
what got us here.
>> Yeah and by the way,
it was super fast last point,
the weirdo Heritage Foundation guy
that they had.
He at least acknowledged briefly
that, they say it's because of $1.7
trillion in student loan debt and
the economy's doing really bad.
But let's move on and pretend that
they're in training wheels.
Again, super weird to say that
someone's on training wheels when
they ran for primary data democrat
and became a Congresswoman.
But really fast,
let's bring up this chart.
Here is maybe what you could do if
you want people to have more kids.
When you ask people why they're
having fewer, childcare is too
expensive, 64% say let's see,
they want more time with
the children they have, not much
you're going to do about that.
But worried about the economy,
can't afford more children,
weighted because of
financial instability.
Let's see, there's no paid
family leave, comes up twice there,
global instability, there's
a lot of stuff there that in theory
the government could do to help.
Look at that, the number one thing,
64%, is childcare.
Well, why don't we have some sort
of system of government childcare?
If you want to make sure that
people feel free to have all the
babies that you want, well, that's
one way that you could do it.
But he's not
going to engage with that.
>> I've gotta say two last things.
One is a comment on that.
All the Republicans just voted
against childcare.
So if you're pro life and you
want people to have more babies,
why in god's green earth would you
vote against childcare?
You would do that because you don't
really care about any of
those things.
You want to crush the average
American and you want
the corporations to get everything.
So Tucker Carlson's propaganda is
now at a different
level of devious.
He now understands the right
wing populism also despises
multinational corporations that run
our lives.
So he's now flipping it and
helping them by pretending to be
against them.
The minute he actually advocates
for laws, that check corporate
rule, I'll give him credit we do it
all the time, right?
But he doesn't he loves
corporate rule while pretending
to be against it.
Now finally, Bridgette,
I gotta ask you a question.
So they made assumptions
about AOC's intentions, right?
She said comments before about how
she's concerned about having kids
for all the same reasons many young
women are.
And she's also said she was looking
forward to having kids but they for
the purposes of lying to their
audience, they pretended that she
was against having kids herself.
And that it was because of climate
change.
Now, as you saw on the poll there,
I don't know where climate
change was, but
it wasn't at the very top, right?
It was real economic concerns that
we're at the time.
But Bridget, how much agency does
it take away from women, for
these men to be talking on air
about what you should do and
how you should be having babies.
And I cannot understand Republican
women.
I just cannot understand them that
look at that and go yeah,
I can't wait for these guys.
These old creepy guys could control
my body.
>> Yeah, you're exactly right.
It is so insulting and
infantilizing.
The way they talk about AOC just in
general is disgusting but first
they talk about her like she's
some sort of girl like the body
of a woman than the girl's head.
And then they go on to infantilized
her talking about what
she should be doing with her body.
These are people who their entire
mission in life is to control women
in our bodies and make decisions
that should be ours on our behalf.
And yeah, it's completely
infantilizing and very insulting,
I think any woman, whether you
decide to have children or not,
whether you're a parent or
not should hear this.
And be really insulted by the way
that these old white men
are talking about our bodies and
what we should and
should not do with them.
>> Yeah, and wait till they get
a load of bridges podcast.
It's no girls on the internet.
So when Tucker Carlson gets a load
of that, he's definitely doing it.
So we knew it there's less babies
because a brand yet she says
there's no girls on the internet.
And you work for ultraviolet which
is a feminist group.
My god, they're going to have
a field day with that.
Good luck with that.
