Birth rate

Yeah.

You also mentioned, before we come on here actually, you were talking about the, um, birth rates-

Yeah

... as well.

That's what abortion and contraception brings you.

We've seen countries that are paying people indiscriminately, mind you, to have children because their birth rates are so low.

I'm not encouraging that here in the United States.

I don't think that's the right way to go.

America's birth rate is too low, just like that of the rest of the West.

Now we're being told the solution to all of this is, you won't believe it, more government involvement.

I will explain why this is a foolish idea in just a moment.

Plus, Germany's AfD breaks through, Milo Yiannopoulos goes native, and we bring you the single stupidest clip in the entire history of the Internet.

This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

[upbeat music] So America's birth rate is too low.

That is obvious.

And this is not just in England, but actually progressive parties throughout the world are pushing very hard for a very different understanding of what it is to be a person, which is just a very thin, very radical and very...

I think, post-human understanding of pure autonomy, pure autonomy that has no embodied content whatsoever.

And I'm thinking about policies such as voluntary medically assisted suicide, which is obviously a deeply unchristian policy to try and legislate in favor of.

I mean, the entire field of transgender ideology has...

Like it, th- this is ci- how civilization and, and life works.

But now this is why we've got decline in birth rates, extreme mental health crisis, children who don't even believe they're born in the right body to the point where they wanna medicalize themselves and remove healthy body parts.

Um, like all these things, it's just absurd.

It, it, it, it's, it's, it's insanity.

And like it's the most, and people like you and me are the ones with the highest rate of happiness.

So like it, it's so, the, all the evidence is against what they're doing, but they're just really pushing this, uh, agenda.

And the, the declining birth rates is a really fascinating one and I think a scary one.

Um, definitely for, in particular when we were mentioning about white people in Britain, that is a s- seriously scary thing because I think the numbers are, are getting r- are just getting worse.

There are more babies born over the Rhine every year than in this land of the Seine, and five times more births than deaths.

Moreover, the French birth rate is dropping.

In the days of Napoleon, the average number was four to the family.

It is now two or less, and the death of the million and a half young men killed in the war will make the babies still fewer.

In the first place, I would say that I do not believe that the lack of babies comes from any physical weakness in the Latin races.

The Latins, as a rule, have fewer children than Anglo-Saxons, but when the French came to Canada, they brought forth as many children as the famous old woman who lived in a shoe, who had so many children she didn't know what to do.

To give an illustration of the birth rate of the French Canadians, the government of Quebec some years ago offered 100 acres of land to every father of a family having 12 or more living children.

On the day appointed, more than 700 claimants came forward to get the farms.

So I think that's a huge issue as well.

I mean, Ireland's at 1.47 birth rate.

That's not replacement.

And what I find so tragic is that, like, when I was in primary school, all my friends were from families of four.
