The War on Showing

A viral video of a gay couple taunting their five-month-old child for saying "mama" has become, in Matt Walsh's telling, one of those rare moments when reality slips through the left's carefully constructed curtain. The child, acquired through surrogacy, naturally makes the sound "mama"—the easiest sound for an infant to produce, the root of the word for mother in nearly every culture. Instead of the enthusiastic affirmation a mother would give, the child receives "no." The men then post the footage online with the caption "Six Week Old Homophobic Baby," using the child as a punchline.

Walsh argues this is not an isolated incident but the logical endpoint of a legal and cultural trajectory that began with the 2015 Obergefell decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. The slippery slope that social conservatives warned about, he says, has arrived.

What you'll learn

2 (01:57) **The Viral Video: Shane McAnally's Baby** - Walsh plays and describes a video posted by gay country singer Shane McAnally, in which his husband tries to get their five-month-old baby to say "Dada or Pop," while the baby repeatedly says "Mama."
3 (04:50) **The Biological Argument: Children Need a Mother** - Walsh argues that two men are biologically incapable of providing what a child needs, which is a mother and a father.
4 (10:00) **Defining Conservatism: The Family as the Foundation** - Walsh asserts that anyone who supports gay adoption or surrogacy is not a conservative, as they are destroying the fundamental building block of civilization: the family.

Show Notes

A video goes viral showing a baby being refused his mother by two gay "dads." This is just the tip of the iceberg, which is why we will have an important discussion today about surrogacy.
