BUCK: The party that believes in science somehow doesn’t understand science, certainly doesn’t understand basic biology, and the latest example of this — although there are many that we could point to, including I’ve seen, Clay, there’s some updates on the transgender swimmer at UPenn that we could get to later on in the show. Turns out, turns out there are even more problems than just how fast the times are for this biological male swimming against women.
So that’s something we can update you with. But for right now on this one — and this is one of those stories where I tell you this ’cause Clay and I both live in the news cycle matrix. We’re like characters, Morpheus and Neo. We’re just living in this news cycle all day long. Occasionally you see a story where you think, “Oh, this is some of the great work they do at the fantastic Babylon Bee, for example. This must not be a real thing. Oh, no, this is a real thing. This is a real thing: The pregnant man emoji.”
Thanks to Apple now, the Apple emoji factory has turned out a pregnant man emoji. Now, this is fascinating on many levels. The first one I just would have to point out to you is that there is an almost exact correlation, Clay, between people who will tell you that the science is settled, will double mask outside, will announce their pronouns, and believe that men can get pregnant. These all line up, and the problem is, men cannot get pregnant. But on social media, as you know, you can actually be suspended for that basic biological fact.
That is, there’s never been a man who’s been able to give birth. And so it’s interesting. I was at an event in Dallas, and I watched Jordan Peterson talk, who’s fantastic. Ted Cruz had an event. I was down there. I was the speaker on Friday night. On Saturday, Jordan Peterson talked, and one of the things that he talked about, Buck, was the degree to which to live in modern society you have to be willing to accept fundamental lies and not challenge them.
The idea that a man could give birth is a fundamental lie. And what I keep coming back to… So people can say, “Oh, it’s just an emoji; it doesn’t matter.” No, no. Because the precedent it is setting is the idea that this could happen, right? And so when I look at all of the things that are happening and you just try to apply logical principles to our society, Buck, the same people who are saying, “You can choose your gender and you’re a hero for doing so,” will tell you that if you choose your race, you are a horrible racist.
Look at what happened to Rachel Dolezal up in Washington State. Remember she was the white woman who was the head of the NAACP. She was destroyed. Yet I think for almost every single person out there, if you told me, “Hey, Clay, you — instead of being a guy — have to flip to being a girl or you can be Asian, Hispanic, or black instead of white,” which would be more substantial? I don’t think there’s hardly anybody out there listening to us who would say gender is the less substantial aspect there.
But it’s fascinating that we create these characteristics or these binaries of, “You’re white, you’re black, you’re Asian, you’re Hispanic,” these are categories that are far more complicated, actually, in the biological reality? If you have a white father and an Asian mother, if you have a black father and a white mother, there’s not this clarity as there is with gender, which is actually a clear, binary reality. And for people who want to do the, “What about individuals who are intersex?” There’s a different term they used to use for it.
Well, that is a biological reality that affects about one in 100,000 people, and that is not what the trans agenda — those, by the way, you still can’t get… It depends on what the plumbing is specifically but generally speaking, men still cannot get pregnant. You still do not have… So that is a biological reality that they are rejecting. Meanwhile, race, which is much more of a social construct — that’s kind of what I was getting at before — as you say, you absolutely have to fit into a category that the left accepts or else, and you certainly cannot claim… You know, can you claim multiple categories, and at what level…? Look what Elizabeth Warren tried to do, right? You see how this gets very messy.
CLAY: Well, think about there’s a lot of people out there who are doing, let’s say, 23andMe. When you do the DNA analysis and find out where your ancestors are from, there are people who find out that they’re actually a different race than they might have thought, right, based on where their DNA originates from. And yet you have a situation where no one ever finds out, “Oh, I thought was a guy and turns out I’m a girl,” right?
To your point on race, you can be wrong about what your racial background is based on the DNA analysis of where your DNA originated from. Nobody out there does the 23andMe and it comes back and they’re like, “Oh, you know what? Turns out I’m a girl and I thought I was a dude,” right? I mean, the idea that you could choose your gender — which is far more significant from a biological perspective than your race is — and that’s heroic, but if you choose your race, you are a horrible human being who deserves to be denigrated across all of society.
