ANDREW KLAVAN (HOST): You know, I think that racism, for instance, tribalism, let's say, isn't one of the ways that we have evolved to deal with threats to ourselves, to our people, and to the, you know, culture that we're in. I think that the modern world — even if you look at World War II, after all that death, people came home and had babies. That's where the baby boom comes from. But I think that the problem is the modern world has detached us from necessity. And so our evolutionary systems for self-preservation don't always go off, and sometimes we have to warn people that this stuff is happening. But next to finagling us — this is the reason I see, and this is where I disagree with The Wall Street Journal on the causes of the baby dearth, is that, to my mind, next to finagling us out of our founding religion, the greatest triumph of the left, the anti-West, anti-freedom left, is that by commandeering the reasonable complaints of feminism for their own purposes — as I've said, feminism is now just leftism in a skirt. Everything. You know, all the — our attempts — you know, civil rights are just leftism in blackface. That's all it is. You know, every single movement in America that ceases to — that attempts to deal with the problem is immediately taken over by the left and put to the service a bigger government. That doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist. It means we're using the wrong solution, and they're not really solving the problem. I don't think that they have done anything. I don't think the left has done anything for Black people, literally nothing for Black people. They've made their life worse. I think the Democrat Party is a cancer on the lives of Black people, and I think that, you know, they take over civil rights to install — again, it's— the idea is to get their their brilliant elite utopian ideas in power and make sure that nobody else has anything to say.
