MATT WALSH (HOST): No one seems to be pointing this out, but what happened in North Carolina underscores the absurdity of having women in positions like this. It's not just that she was breastfeeding on the job -- like that's outrageous, obviously, for a million reasons that probably don't need to be explained. But I'll go a step further. Even if that agent had waited to breastfeed until she got home, it would still be not only ludicrous but morally insane for her to be in a position like this. She is a mom of a very young child. Right? That's the main problem with her breastfeeding on the job. It's not even that she's breastfeeding on the job, it's that she has a baby. Like, her job requires her to potentially throw herself in front of a bullet to protect whatever government official she's assigned to. She has to be willing to die as part of her job description. What happens to her baby in that case?
Functional societies do not ask or even allow mothers to stand on the front lines and take bullets for their country. Like, that's what men are for. You know, everybody in the country, myself included, was very critical of that female agent who infamously was seemingly hiding behind the pile of bodies after Trump was shot. We all remember that picture. And it was a disgraceful sight. And then later on, she couldn't get her gun in the holster, the whole thing. Right? Very disgraceful, very embarrassing. But here's the thing, it would be just as disgraceful for different reasons if that woman had been in front of the pile. Because that's not where you're supposed to put women in a society. You don't put them in the front lines to take the bullets. And until we can agree on that very basic point, which every civilization before us could agree on, then we don't have a chance of fixing this country, much less the Secret Service.
