care of your children they mean it like mary poppins or tony soprano. even on issues less fundamental than abortion the left just doesn't take their problems out on america's kids. their problem seems to be that there are american kids at all. radical environmentalists regard children as enemies of the climate. corporate elites see babies as expensive competitors for the time attention and creativity of professional women which they apparently feel should belong exclusively to them. critical race theory con men suggest that babies become racist as early as 3 months old. "new york times" columnist paul krugman pictured here holding his if you are baby apparently believes the child tax credit is racist, too because it's really about more white christians. radical feminists have built their entire brand around de-prioritizing family life and shaming happy moms as sell outs to the patriarchy. i used to wonder where this hatred came from until i became

a parent last year. progressives hate babies because they're crying, drooling, everything left wokest believe. boys and girls are the answer to the argument and antidote to poisonous lie. first, of course, babies are alive from the moment of conception. everyone who has ever seen an ultrasound knows it second, children are male or female. parents learn the hard way that sex is not a social construct. social constructs don't pee on you while you are giving them a baath. children are individuals. people who know lots of kids know that identity politics is nonsense. everyone is born different. the only diversity that matters is the universal diversity of each child of god. children are creative. there is no greater proof of the wisdom of markets than the restless of restless 6-year-olds. spend five minutes outdoors with the pack of kids they are not going destroy the environment. they are going to save it children are brave. terrifying brave. girls are fierce and

independent. boys heroically reckless. they are not the helpless timid victims the leftist people say they're. just as important, neither are we. that's the less real problem with children. they create families. they turn boys into men. couples into parents and women into the archangels we call moms. this understanding of family rejects the old forms of authoritarianism just as it rejects the newer evils of eugenics. america's founders doesn't didn't seek to build a rye utopia out of a bloodstream of elites but a republican where every child born in america regardless of origins has limitless potential and spark of divine. remember, this was nation begun by the rejects of the old world. iminals the religious fanatics, not exactly royal blood. but it turns out that even the wretched refuge much the world nation envy of it families are the ultimate source of meaning and happiness in society. modern left, this makes them a rival to their totalitarian politics. babies, the moment they arrive

on the scene, create a force field of love and self-sacrifice and responsibility that leftism cannot penetrate. attentive parents don't give over their minds, bodies and souls to the latest washington outrage. the left thinks that's because kids are a distraction. no. it's because soccer practice and homework and story time are a thousand times more important than whatever aoc tweeted today. as wrote how can it be a large career to tell other people about the rule of three and a small career to tell one's children about the universe. you must be wide awake to the reality of the threats our nation faces but part of that is understanding the importance of family life as an objectively better way to spend your time better for the kids, better for the parents and better for the country. the natural authority parents exercise over their kids gives them dangerous ideas exercising constitutional authority as citizens over the state. the more attention we pay to our families, the more time we spend with other families at play dates, little league games,

church picnics, school plays, children don't just turn individuals into families, they also pull families into communities. turning moms and dads into coaches, sunday school teachers, neighborhood watch patrols and meals on wheels drivers. it sounds exhausting, sure. and it is. but the real secret is that the more kids couples have the more they realize how strong and capable they truly are. this the woke left cannot abide. leftism is an ideology of fear, grievance and affected helplessness. families live lives that relentless genuine adventure indifferent and immune to the numb high tech loneliness leftism offers its screen addicted surfs. too little was made of black lives matter endorsing explicitly the destruction of the nuclear family. a step that would rob children of their potential to realize their freedom. that is the left tell you in no uncertain terms what they want. children not the left's kryptonite but its cure. the world must be peopled. and the more effort we invest in

our children last. who, what nation sacrifices their children as western european countries are opening their schools and we are not as child abuse cases are reporting rather going down cases and hospitals are going up. it's reported in schools and we are keeping our school doors shut. so there is the idea of having kids and then there the idea of protecting those kids on the other side. >> ben: we will look back, i believe, at this pandemic and those decisions where the rest of the world was able to find a way to get kids back into school and we were not as being an incredible failure of governance. thank you, kayleigh, for joining me tonight. >> thank you, ben. >> ben: also here with me tonight is the author of "hillbilly he will i didn't" and republican running for senate in the state of ohio j.d. vance. i know you have opinions on this. what are your thoughts on the general tenure of the left when it comes to their opposition to the americans having more children? >> yeah, well, thanks for having me, ben. if folks want to help out please go to j.d. vance.com. my basic view on this is the

left feels comfortable experimenting on children with the lockdowns the mask mandates and just their general approach to public policy because they're increasingly the party and movement that doesn't have kids. and i look at the way they think about, for example, whether we should mask children or whether we should are actually secure the southern border, if you are a childless adult living in new york city, you probably care more about your house cleaner than do you about the children of america. but if you are a parent and you see the affect that this nonstop lockdown and masking has on kids, then you are going to care more about the kids. i think basically what we have done is that we have allowed the democrats to become dominated by a bunch of sociopaths who don't care about america's children. we just need to call it out. kudos for you to calling it out. all of us need to say the obvious this is a movement that is too invested in nothing because they are not invested in the future in this country's children. >> ben: you know, it really does feel like this is a movement that has been taken over by these young childless professionals who convince themselves that if they just,

you know, have a couple of cats or something like that that that can be just as fulfilling. you know, a situation where, of course, those cats aren't going to be taking care of you when you get older and the government will have to step in the place. you know, as one who speaks so often to libertarian audiences i have always stressed the number one thing you should care about, you should sound like rick santorum on the importance of the american family because strong families mean that government doesn't have to step in to take all these rolls. there is no way to make that argument. in terms of your own campaign and the effort you are going to lodge and making your argue. to the people of ohio, how are you going to talk about this issue and connect with them on putting families -- working families in america back at the priorities of a new republican party? >> look, i think my arguments to the folks of ohio is very simple, which is that we don't have a country. we don't have a state unless we have children and unless we have healthy families. and we need start recognizing that and enforcing that through public policy. i advanced an idea that comes

from a country in eastern europe victor war bond hungary where they give married couple as generous loan at the beginning of the marriage and they forgive the loan if the couple stays married and has children. the basic idea we would reward marriage where our tax code right now actually penalizes marriage and people getting married. the basic idea, whatever the policy details is pretty simple. we want people to have healthy vibrant families in this country and if we don't, we're not going to have a real country anymore. >> ben: you know, historically looking back at the strength of america's families in times of trouble, you know, they have -- it's allowed the country to emerge from difficult times in the past because we had that foundational element. my fear of this current moment coming out of this pandemic is that that is going to prove too week weak for the moment and allow government to step in and take over more and more authority over our lives. thank you so much for joining me tonight, j.d. >> thanks, ben. >> ben: coming up, joe biden knows what he is doing is illegal. guess what?

thanks so much leader mccarthy for joining me tonight. i know this is something that has been a recurring issue in prior democrat administrations. they have never really had a problem flouting the constitution when it gets in their way. but this one seems particularly egregious because the president himself acknowledged that what he was doing was likely unconstitutional. >> it wasn't just the president the supreme court said it the white house went back and told congress that they had to take action. nancy pelosi couldn't put it through and because socialist in congress protested, they bent what is really telling regardless on the issue. we believe in the rule of law. they know this is breaking the law, but they are doing it they are breaking the constitution. breaking the foundation of the institution of who we are. >> find so abhorrent is so many landlords across the country, they are not big corporations, they are small businesses. they are owners who have been
