The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 581 - Dems Horrified That Barrett Might Interfere With Their Right To Kill Babies

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Democrats are coming up with a million reasons to oppose Amy Coney Barrett because they don't want to be honest about the real reason, which is that she might make it harder to kill babies. 0.80

00:00:09.820 That's what they're really upset about. Also, five headlines, including absurd claims of voter suppression, which we will analyze, and a harrowing video of an encounter between a mountain lion and a hiker that you don't want to miss.

00:00:20.660 In our daily cancellation, I'll be canceling everybody involved in a viral video of a woman forcing her boyfriend to marry her at a Target.

00:00:29.880 All of that coming up. But first, there are a lot of companies out there working constantly to undermine our values as conservatives.

00:00:36.580 Sometimes you think it might be nice to have a few companies who are actually on our side.

00:00:40.860 Well, the good news is I'll give you one company I can tell you about, the pro-life phone company, Charity Mobile.

00:00:46.000 With Charity Mobile, 5% of your monthly plan price goes to the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice.

00:00:52.480 There are all kinds of other perks, too. New activations and eligible accounts get a free cell phone with free activation and free shipping.

00:00:59.860 And you get all that despite there being no contracts, no termination fees, no risk with a 30-day guarantee.

00:01:06.420 Like I'll tell you, I've been using Charity Mobile for a few months now, and I love having the knowledge that I'm getting a great price and a great service,

00:01:12.800 but also supporting the pro-life cause at the same time.

00:01:15.980 A cause that's especially relevant now during these Supreme Court hearings, and we're hearing a lot about it.

00:01:20.800 So now's a great time to call Charity Mobile at 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.

00:01:30.880 Okay. Now, speaking of the hearings, one must feel a certain amount of sympathy for the Democrats who have been put in the unenviable position

00:01:39.860 of having to invent some reason to oppose the confirmation of a universally respected, admired, well-qualified female Supreme Court justice.

00:01:47.540 Presumably they've already skimmed through her high school yearbook, found no ammunition there, probably decided it'd be too difficult, you know,

00:01:56.300 to make outlandish sexual assault allegations stick to a woman especially, and particularly when they didn't even stick to Brett Kavanaugh.

00:02:03.860 So their options here are very limited.

00:02:07.480 And as the Senate confirmation hearings unfold this week, Democrats and their allies in the media have tried a number of different tacks.

00:02:15.680 You know, they've looked at a few different ways they can go about this, and with no success at all.

00:02:22.220 Having realized that their Ginsburg's dying wish gambit also wasn't landing because there is no dying wish clause in the Constitution, as it turns out,

00:02:31.040 they've rallied around the almost as absurd notion that Republicans would be guilty of court packing should they exercise their constitutional power to confirm a Supreme Court nominee.

00:02:39.580 Like we talked about yesterday, Senator Dick Durbin lamented that Republicans have, quote,

00:02:44.240 taken every vacancy and filled it, pretending not to know that court packing is not when vacancies are filled,

00:02:50.340 but when they are created by adding seats.

00:02:54.440 What else are Republicans supposed to do with a vacancy but fill it?

00:02:57.900 Saving a few for the Democrats might be good sportsmanship, but that hardly qualifies as a constitutional obligation,

00:03:03.340 nor as a persuasive argument.

00:03:06.740 During opening statements on Monday, Senator Cory Booker claimed that the hearing was illegitimate

00:03:12.540 because, as he eloquently put it, listen.

00:03:15.920 The American people should decide.

00:03:18.420 The American people should decide.

00:03:20.960 The American people should decide.

00:03:26.200 I will not be voting to confirm Judge Barrett's nomination.

00:03:29.920 Very dramatic stuff there from Cory.

00:03:32.140 Very affecting.

00:03:33.160 I felt that.

00:03:34.560 Senator Amy Klobuchar, for her part, tweeting during the hearing,

00:03:37.520 when she really should have been paying attention, I think, posted,

00:03:40.360 this isn't Donald Trump's country, it's yours.

00:03:42.920 This shouldn't be Donald Trump's judge, it should be yours.

00:03:46.400 But what these appeals to democracy ignore is that the electorate gave control of the Senate to Republicans

00:03:51.820 and elected Donald Trump to a four-year term.

00:03:54.800 their mandate from the voters, like their constitutional power, doesn't expire a month before the next election.

00:04:02.260 The American people did decide.

00:04:04.200 Or to put it in terms, Cory Booker might be able to understand,

00:04:07.820 the American people did decide.

00:04:09.240 The American people did decide.

00:04:10.540 The American people did decide.

00:04:13.320 Democrats in the hearing have repeatedly tried to make hay out of the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic.

00:04:19.280 So we've heard a lot about that.

00:04:20.720 On Monday, Senator Mazie Hirono spent her opening statement recounting the horrors of the coronavirus

00:04:25.640 and its effects on the economy, or rather the effects of the lockdown on the economy.

00:04:30.280 But she could never quite explain why the coronavirus should prevent a Supreme Court justice from being confirmed,

00:04:35.880 especially when it didn't prevent hundreds of Black Lives Matter rallies all across the country for three months in a row.

00:04:42.360 Booker sputtered something about how it's not normal.

00:04:46.120 This isn't normal to have confirmation hearings during a pandemic.

00:04:49.780 It isn't normal.

00:04:51.560 Now, the obvious response to that claim is, so what?

00:04:55.920 Pandemics themselves aren't normal. 0.99

00:04:57.900 Therefore, the things we do during them won't be normal.

00:05:00.900 But that doesn't mean we should stop doing things.

00:05:04.260 As much as that has actually been the strategy, of course, for the last six months.

00:05:08.400 Not a good one.

00:05:09.720 And speaking of normal, it wasn't normal to attempt to block a Supreme Court nominee 0.98

00:05:13.220 by accusing him of being a serial gang rapist.

00:05:15.580 Democrats seem to aspire to normalcy only under very limited circumstances. 0.83

00:05:21.540 And of course, some of the criticisms of Barrett have taken a more personal tone.

00:05:25.240 Much has been made of the fact that she served as a handmaid in a group called People of Praise.

00:05:29.700 But the protesters dressed in ridiculous red costumes outside the hearings seem not to know that

00:05:34.860 handmaid, in Barrett's case, was a reference to the Bible, not a book written by Margaret Atwood in the 1980s.

00:05:41.200 And this sort of confusion is inevitable when your exposure to historical literature extends only to that novel

00:05:47.720 plus Harry Potter and Twilight.

00:05:50.100 Now, predictably, the fact that Barrett has seven children has also been the subject of attack.

00:05:55.600 Many examples here.

00:05:57.160 Here's just one. 0.99

00:05:58.240 Author Lauren Hoff mocked the judge for her, quote, clown car vagina. 1.00

00:06:04.180 Many of the Twitter followers laughed and applauded. 1.00

00:06:07.200 One of them commented that delivering a child is like, quote, taking a dump.

00:06:12.740 Now, I'm tempted to say that many of Barrett's critics are jealous that she's an attractive and successful woman

00:06:17.920 with a husband and children while they have only their cats and Netflix accounts to keep them company

00:06:22.680 as they slowly shrivel away into nothingness to be forgotten by everyone and mourned by no one.

00:06:27.380 But I'm not going to say that because it would be uncharitable.

00:06:29.980 I won't say that.

00:06:30.780 Someone might say that, but I'm not going to.

00:06:35.320 Anyway, the interesting thing is that this narrative of Amy Coney Barrett, the barefoot

00:06:39.180 baby factory handmade submissive, is being advanced alongside the claim that, as Slate argued this

00:06:45.900 week, she is a ruthless, self-promoting careerist who's concerned only with her own professional 1.00

00:06:51.400 advancement.

00:06:52.820 Now, of course, God forbid anyone were to utter such slander about, say, Senator Kamala Harris,

00:06:57.200 who began her political career in bed with a well-connected and still married, we might

00:07:01.620 add, California politician.

00:07:03.900 It'd be horrifically sexist to make that sort of charge against the Democratic vice presidential

00:07:08.080 candidate, but Barrett, for obvious reasons, for obvious political reasons, is fair game.

00:07:13.980 These are all the desperate cries of people who cannot utter their real objection, except

00:07:20.980 in euphemism.

00:07:21.720 Harris, joining the hearing remotely, declared that Barrett would undo Ginsburg's legacy.

00:07:27.780 By the way, there is no clause in the Constitution requiring that a deceased justice's legacy be

00:07:32.620 respected or upheld either.

00:07:35.040 And she also said that Barrett would roll back Americans' rights.

00:07:38.140 What she means here, what everyone cited above really means, is that Justice Amy Coney Barrett

00:07:44.220 might make it harder for parents to legally kill their children.

00:07:48.620 This is the real source of all of the impotent rage being directed at the nomination, the

00:07:53.880 hearings, and Barrett personally.

00:07:56.460 If she believed in a mother's right to kill her offspring, none of the people mentioned

00:08:00.140 here would be objecting.

00:08:02.160 On the contrary, they would extol her brilliance and beauty and bravery, and their venom would

00:08:06.320 be reserved for the people doing what they themselves are doing right now.

00:08:10.200 Democrats have no problem with this flagrant hypocrisy because they believe themselves to

00:08:15.280 be opposing, literally, Hitler. 0.99

00:08:17.460 The other side of the aisle, to them, represents abject evil, racism, bigotry, the enslavement 0.93

00:08:24.180 of women.

00:08:25.720 Those in their camp who don't believe this at least want everyone to believe they believe

00:08:29.500 it.

00:08:30.580 But meanwhile, it doesn't require exaggeration or hysteria or recourse to dystopian fantasy

00:08:36.920 novels to believe, rather to notice, to know, that they are the ones who actually do support,

00:08:43.240 fund, and facilitate one of the most hideous forms of evil the world has ever seen.

00:08:47.500 Sixty million human beings have been butchered since and because of the Supreme Court decision

00:08:52.160 that these people hail as the high watermark of the civil rights movement.

00:08:56.620 Many of these humans have been killed in the very early stages of pregnancy, a fact that

00:08:59.860 makes their murder no less evil.

00:09:01.780 But many millions have been executed at a stage late enough to require dismemberment before

00:09:06.880 the corpses can be extracted from the womb.

00:09:08.880 This mass grave, this mountain of corpses, this systematic extermination of our own children

00:09:15.880 is what Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, all the rest of them are so jealously and vengefully

00:09:22.820 guarding.

00:09:23.780 They pretend to be fighting evil, and they've given themselves the moral license to lie and

00:09:28.560 cheat to that end. 0.72

00:09:29.800 But they are, in fact, the genocidal fascists they pretend to oppose.

00:09:35.280 And we should always keep that in mind when we watch the hearings this week.

00:09:41.540 Let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:48.620 You know, small businesses have been getting completely decimated ever since the lockdown

00:09:53.380 started.

00:09:54.300 I hear the stories all the time.

00:09:55.740 We all hear the stories.

00:09:57.040 And maybe if you're listening, you are, unfortunately, one of these stories.

00:10:00.860 So the fact is, a lot of people, millions and millions are feeling the effects of the

00:10:04.820 lockdown.

00:10:05.300 And that's why we're excited to tell you that next week, the Daily Wire God King, Jeremy

00:10:09.320 Boring, is going to be presenting alongside a team of world-renowned business leaders at

00:10:13.560 Expert Ownership Live.

00:10:17.040 It's a two-day virtual conference about leading through crisis.

00:10:20.360 The conference features a lineup of speakers like leadership author John Maxwell, plus the

00:10:25.280 founders of Duck Commander and Otterbox, plus the Benham Brothers.

00:10:28.320 There's many others who can relate to what entrepreneurs and leaders are going through

00:10:33.180 right now because they're going through it themselves.

00:10:36.380 They'll share stories about their own businesses, startup journeys as well, the tough times that

00:10:40.740 their companies went through, and how they were able to navigate those challenges and come

00:10:45.480 out on the other side of it.

00:11:29.120 All right.

00:11:29.540 I want to show you one other thing from the hearings.

00:11:31.500 This I have to mention because it just exemplifies the fact that the whole mask thing is largely

00:11:39.300 for show.

00:11:39.900 So let me, I'll show you this.

00:11:41.300 One example.

00:11:42.540 Okay.

00:11:43.360 Chosen at random.

00:11:44.560 You'll see this Senator getting ready to speak and then, uh, and then watch what he does.

00:11:49.640 Watch.

00:11:50.300 Well, definitely some good news.

00:11:52.260 Uh, Senator Lee's enthusiasm for the dormant commerce clause convinces me you've made a full

00:11:58.460 recovery.

00:12:00.300 Senator Whitehouse.

00:12:02.720 Chairman, Judge Barrett, America's worried about one thing above all else right now.

00:12:10.960 And it's our health.

00:12:12.920 Okay.

00:12:13.100 So you see, as soon as he, as he's about to start speaking, he rips the mask off with a

00:12:18.440 vengeance.

00:12:18.780 He rips it off eagerly and like slams it down the table.

00:12:21.640 And I understand that, you know, whenever, whenever I go grocery shopping at a store where

00:12:25.900 I'm required to wear it, as soon as I get outside, as soon as I exit the door, I'm ripping

00:12:30.160 that, that thing off and like falling to my knees and gasping for breath as if I've just

00:12:34.980 come up for air after a free dive to the bottom of the ocean.

00:12:38.040 And I'm always perplexed to see that.

00:12:40.260 That's what I do.

00:12:41.000 Right.

00:12:41.140 But I'm perplexed to look around and see that it seems like everyone else, they leave the

00:12:45.920 store and keep the mask on as they walk across the parking lot to their cars.

00:12:50.640 And they keep the mask on when they get into their car too.

00:12:54.120 Like they like having it on.

00:12:56.180 I can't wait to take it off.

00:12:57.660 Um, so that, you know, I get that.

00:13:00.780 And I also understand wanting to take the mask off so that you can speak and be understood.

00:13:08.720 That's one of the many frustrating aspects of this mask thing is that you can't understand

00:13:13.780 what the hell people are saying.

00:13:16.060 In fact, I was at a store last night and I was, I was trying to talk to the guy behind

00:13:19.640 the camera, behind the counter rather, but he had a mask on and there was glass up.

00:13:26.800 The glass, it wasn't like bulletproof glass for no glass put there for coronavirus, uh,

00:13:32.020 the magical glass that we see everywhere.

00:13:33.460 So he had a glass, the glass up mask on, and he also had a pretty thick accent.

00:13:38.140 So I'm trying to communicate with him.

00:13:40.880 I can't understand what the hell he's saying.

00:13:42.320 I, we, we, we can't understand each other.

00:13:44.580 And so it was just, uh, it was just one of those things where I had to say, okay, yeah.

00:13:48.760 All right.

00:13:49.820 I hope I'm giving the, the, the correct general response here.

00:13:52.520 Cause I don't know what you're saying to me.

00:13:54.000 That's how it is.

00:13:54.680 You can't understand what anyone's saying.

00:13:56.380 You can't see anybody's face.

00:13:58.060 I think there's a psychological effect there too.

00:14:01.800 A lot of, I think psychologists in the future are going to have a lot of fun going back and

00:14:06.540 looking at how we're all affected by this, but going months and months in public, it just

00:14:10.620 depends on where you live because some areas, uh, mercifully are not as strict about it, but

00:14:16.000 at least where I live, everybody has it on all the time.

00:14:19.100 And so you go months at a time out in public and you never see anybody's face and you can't

00:14:23.400 really understand them either.

00:14:24.940 Anyway.

00:14:26.340 So, um, that part I understand, but, but, but here's, here's my, my point.

00:14:34.740 If you're going to take it off to speak, why are you wearing it at all?

00:14:39.160 The senators are sitting there wearing the mask and they're, they're not talking.

00:14:44.540 They're just breathing normally.

00:14:46.420 And then they take it off at precisely the moment when they would be the most likely to

00:14:50.160 spread it though.

00:14:51.960 It's still extremely unlikely, but, but still it's incoherent. 1.00

00:14:55.100 If you're going to wear the mask, wear the damn mask. 0.98

00:14:58.220 But if you're going to do what I would say is the reasonable thing and not wear it when 0.99

00:15:02.800 you're trying to speak, then what's the medical reason to wear it at all?

00:15:06.300 It's like when you go to a restaurant now and they say, you know, wear the mask when

00:15:11.320 you come in and you're walking to your table, you got to wear the mask for that.

00:15:15.620 And then, and then, and then you sit down and you take it off and you carry on a loud

00:15:19.300 conversation spewing your fumes this way and that.

00:15:22.700 Again, I'm not saying that you should wear your mask when you sit down to actually eat

00:15:26.020 your dinner.

00:15:26.460 I see some people doing that and it's completely insane.

00:15:28.840 But what I'm saying is what the hell is the actual point of wearing it on your way to

00:15:33.120 the table when you're not saying anything and then you sit down and then you take it

00:15:37.340 off.

00:15:37.980 It's of course, it's an offshoot of the airline thing where you have to remain socially

00:15:41.240 distanced and they're very strict about it.

00:15:43.280 Remain socially distanced, uh, in line to get on the plane and then be packed in like

00:15:48.740 sardines, uh, breathing recycled air for the next six hours.

00:15:52.660 It just, it, it doesn't make any sense.

00:15:55.060 It's all for show.

00:15:55.980 Okay, number two, we're always hearing about this mythical beast called voter suppression.

00:16:02.100 We hear about it, um, we're warned about it, but we never actually see it.

00:16:08.920 We never see this voter suppression in action until now.

00:16:12.980 Claire McCaskill uploaded a video from, uh, Georgia and that I think she took herself.

00:16:20.320 I'm not, I'm not sure about that, but she uploaded this video, got a lot of attention,

00:16:23.420 uh, went viral, polls opened, you know, for, for, for in-person voting in Georgia, at least

00:16:29.180 in this, in this part of Georgia.

00:16:31.060 And, um, she took a video and she says that this proves voter suppression is a video of

00:16:35.480 voter suppression.

00:16:36.640 So what are we going to see here?

00:16:38.100 We're going to see voters being blocked from the entrance.

00:16:40.400 Are we going to see voters being thrown out of polling stations by, by bouncers?

00:16:44.720 What are we going to see?

00:16:46.060 Well, here's the video.

00:16:47.500 Um, this is it right here.

00:16:49.740 This, this is the voter suppression.

00:16:51.860 As you can see, whole bunch of people lined up to vote three weeks before the election.

00:16:58.480 This is voter suppression.

00:17:00.060 They say hundreds of people being able to vote three weeks early is suppression.

00:17:08.420 Right?

00:17:09.440 Actually, no, no, that's not what suppression is.

00:17:11.780 The fact that this line exists is not evidence that people aren't able to vote.

00:17:17.140 In fact, it's evidence of the opposite in the same way that a long line for a star Wars

00:17:21.620 film is not evidence that people aren't able to watch star Wars.

00:17:25.920 A long line for a roller coaster is not evidence that, uh, the amusement park doesn't want you

00:17:31.260 on the roller coaster.

00:17:32.880 It's evidence that they want you on it.

00:17:34.560 And a lot of people want to do it.

00:17:35.980 And so, and you can only, you know, get bored so many people at a time.

00:17:39.400 You'd only get so many people into the building at a time, especially now with all these COVID 1.00

00:17:44.760 restrictions.

00:17:46.140 So we're going to pretend that that's got no factor at all either.

00:17:49.840 It's just, it's, it's, it's what they're putting forth as evidence of voter suppression

00:17:56.260 is evidence of the opposite of it is it's evidence against voter suppression.

00:18:00.600 We are three weeks before the election and there's a line around the freaking block of 0.58

00:18:04.300 people who can vote. 0.89

00:18:06.200 Yes, it might take a little bit.

00:18:07.700 It's inconvenient.

00:18:08.360 Someone, I was talking about this and someone said to me, well, it's, uh, this is about the

00:18:12.620 inconveniences.

00:18:13.660 So what doesn't mean you can't do it just because you're inconvenienced doesn't mean

00:18:18.580 you're being suppressed or oppressed.

00:18:20.840 If it's that important to you, then you'll just wait in line.

00:18:23.360 No big deal.

00:18:24.660 If it's not that important to you, then don't do it.

00:18:27.660 No skin off my back.

00:18:28.540 I'm I've made my point clear there as well.

00:18:30.660 I, I, I, I don't think we need to go out of our way to make sure that every last person

00:18:35.440 votes, um, but if you want to, you can.

00:18:40.660 Okay.

00:18:41.320 Number three news in the Harvard Gazette says, uh, people who survive serious COVID-19 infections

00:18:48.120 have long lasting immune responses against the virus.

00:18:50.880 According to a new study led by researchers at Harvard affiliated Massachusetts general

00:18:55.300 hospital, the researchers found that levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin G remained

00:19:01.540 elevated in effective patients for four months and were associated with the presence of protective

00:19:06.240 neutralizing antibodies, which also demonstrated little decrease in activity over time.

00:19:09.900 Um, so yeah, that's, that's, that's kind of what I thought.

00:19:12.720 And I, if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.

00:19:15.380 Um, it's all about the immunoglobulin G you guys have heard me go on about immunoglobulin

00:19:20.560 G many times.

00:19:22.300 I mean, I'm always talking about it.

00:19:24.100 And, um, so this is good news anyway, but of course when Trump made this claim about himself

00:19:29.520 that maybe he's immune now, it was called fake news.

00:19:33.220 In fact, I believe Twitter flagged it as fake news, censored the, uh, the tweet.

00:19:42.020 I wonder if they'll do the same with Harvard.

00:19:43.820 Probably not.

00:19:45.000 Okay.

00:19:45.300 Kanye West has released his first campaign ad.

00:19:49.500 The moment we've all been waiting for.

00:19:51.180 Here it is.

00:19:52.640 America.

00:19:53.880 What is America's destiny?

00:19:56.240 What is best for our nation?

00:19:57.800 Our people?

00:19:58.880 What is just true justice?

00:20:01.140 We have to think about all these things together as a people to contemplate our future, to live

00:20:07.820 up to our dream.

00:20:09.100 We must have vision.

00:20:10.520 We as a people will revive our nation's commitment to faith, to what our constitution calls the

00:20:16.680 free exercise of religion, including of course, prayer through prayer.

00:20:22.440 Faith can be restored.

00:20:24.460 We as a people are called to a greater purpose than ourselves.

00:20:28.080 We are not only a beacon to the world, but we should be servants to each other, to encourage

00:20:33.880 each other, to help each other, to lift up each other.

00:20:37.800 Our fellow Americans, that we may all prosper together.

00:20:41.540 We have to act on faith with the sure knowledge that we are pursuing the right goals and doing

00:20:47.260 the right things.

00:20:48.420 We will build a stronger country by building stronger families.

00:20:51.460 Families are the building blocks of society, of a nation.

00:20:56.880 By turning to faith, we will be the kind of nation, the kind of people God intends us

00:21:03.840 to be.

00:21:05.400 I am Kanye West, and I approve this message.

00:21:08.960 Okay, so I have to say the production quality and presentation here is not the best, and

00:21:21.340 I'd expect maybe a little bit more from an artistic visionary.

00:21:24.460 But the message is on point, and I think the message is great.

00:21:30.020 I'm on board with most of what he has to say.

00:21:31.800 His campaign website has this ad, and then right under the ad is a bunch of merchandise

00:21:38.040 you could buy, and then right under that is the presidential platform.

00:21:42.020 A lot of it is kind of the typical political talking points that you would get from a sort

00:21:46.140 of Democrat-like kind of person.

00:21:48.500 But the first item on the platform is good.

00:21:51.740 It says, restore faith and revive our constitutional commitment to freedom of religion and the free

00:21:56.400 exercise of one's faith, demonstrated by restoring prayer in the classroom, including spiritual

00:22:00.320 foundation.

00:22:01.800 So I like it.

00:22:03.080 I think this should be the message of the Republican Party as well, which it is sometimes when they

00:22:09.800 feel like focusing on it.

00:22:11.440 So I don't know.

00:22:12.140 I might have to vote for Kanye.

00:22:13.940 He's a bit eccentric.

00:22:15.420 But then again, if you're trying to avoid eccentricities in this election, probably you're best just

00:22:20.620 not voting at all.

00:22:21.780 Number five, a little nightmare fuel for you.

00:22:23.680 A jogger in Provo, Utah was out on a trail recently when apparently he unknowingly got close

00:22:29.940 to some mountain lion clubs, cubs, that is, rather.

00:22:34.640 So mountain lion was getting next to a mountain lion club where they're all gathered together.

00:22:39.360 Probably not a good idea either.

00:22:40.520 But especially a mountain lion cub is what he apparently came in the vicinity of.

00:22:45.620 I don't think he knew that.

00:22:47.220 But then mama mountain lion appeared on the scene and was not too happy about it. 1.00

00:22:52.600 And here's how that went. 0.99

00:22:53.720 Holy shit. 1.00

00:22:58.660 No, go away. 1.00

00:23:00.580 Go away.

00:23:02.580 No.

00:23:07.320 No. 1.00

00:23:09.180 Fuck you, dude. 1.00

00:23:11.420 Holy. 1.00

00:23:11.940 Gosh, fuck, where's my gun? 1.00

00:23:30.360 Okay. 1.00

00:23:31.920 This is when I fucking die. 1.00

00:23:35.480 No. 1.00

00:23:36.840 Get the fuck away. 1.00

00:23:39.040 Stupid kitty cat. 1.00

00:23:41.940 Holy, come on, dude. 1.00

00:23:48.880 I don't feel like dying today.

00:23:51.700 Ah.

00:23:53.540 That lasted for six minutes.

00:23:55.140 We can't play the whole thing, of course.

00:23:56.260 Six minutes, he was backing up as the mountain lion escorted him away from the premises.

00:24:04.420 Now, the cat was not, some of the headlines I've seen about this have said that the cat was

00:24:08.620 stalking him.

00:24:09.940 But no, she wasn't stalking, wasn't trying to eat him.

00:24:13.660 If she wanted to eat him, she would have. 1.00

00:24:16.260 I think if a mountain lion is stalking you when you're jogging, then you're screwed. 1.00

00:24:20.220 That's it. 0.98

00:24:20.680 You're not going to see it coming until the thing's jaws are around your neck.

00:24:26.200 But still, I mean, he's backing away.

00:24:29.120 If he had made any wrong move here, taken a wrong step, literally, he would have been

00:24:34.700 dead.

00:24:35.580 Like, what I was worried about the whole time watching this video is if this guy trips while

00:24:39.760 walking backwards on this path with a bunch of rocks and roots and stuff, if he trips,

00:24:45.420 he's done.

00:24:46.660 If he had turned and run away, he'd be done.

00:24:49.520 So not a lot of room for error.

00:24:51.400 And it seems he mostly did the right thing.

00:24:53.000 He backed away slowly.

00:24:54.320 He kept eye contact with the cat.

00:24:56.820 He screamed.

00:24:58.000 He tried to make himself bigger.

00:24:59.660 He threw something.

00:25:02.340 Crouching down to pick up the rock is a very risky proposition when you're face-to-face with

00:25:07.460 the mountain lion.

00:25:08.680 But for the most part, I think a pretty good strategy there.

00:25:12.480 And obviously, he survived.

00:25:13.980 So proof is in the pudding.

00:25:15.660 That said, far be it for me to Monday morning quarterback something like this.

00:25:18.620 But I will say, if you're ever in this situation, one quick note I would make.

00:25:25.760 Put the phone down.

00:25:27.820 There is no advantage to filming it.

00:25:30.420 This isn't like you're in a confrontation with the police and you want to film it so that

00:25:33.820 you can sue them later.

00:25:34.740 There's not any suing the mountain lion if she rips your face off.

00:25:38.860 That's not going to happen.

00:25:39.700 So there's no conceivably good reason to film in a situation like this.

00:25:46.720 And it does hamper you because you're looking down at the camera.

00:25:50.180 Plus, you're not able to, you know, you want to be waving your arms and making yourself as

00:25:53.940 big as possible.

00:25:54.520 So he's holding his camera like this.

00:25:55.720 He might be waving with the other hand.

00:25:57.180 But he's, you know, that second arm could make a big difference.

00:25:59.520 Um, so I, I, you know, there's, I, I, I would just say if, if you're, if you're facing the

00:26:07.340 possibility of being eaten, um, probably your priority in that situation shouldn't be,

00:26:17.760 let me get this because it's going to make a great viral video.

00:26:21.560 It does make a great video.

00:26:23.300 This is a really compelling video.

00:26:24.600 I have to say, but that, you know, that probably shouldn't be your priority.

00:26:29.260 Um, finally, bonus story here.

00:26:30.900 Number six from religion news, religion news reporter, Alejandra Molina says,

00:26:35.560 Amy Coney Barrett nomination fight leaves progressive Catholics feeling unseen.

00:26:40.040 I spoke with black and Latinx Catholics who believe in abortion rights and marriage equality

00:26:45.620 to learn how the focus on white conservative Catholicism overshadows their faith.

00:26:50.360 Yes.

00:26:52.380 Um, Catholics who believe in abortion rights and gay marriage. 0.67

00:26:56.980 I can think of many similar reports you could file.

00:26:59.460 Like, um, I spoke with carnivorous vegans to learn how the focus on vegetarian vegans overshadows

00:27:06.120 them.

00:27:07.140 Or I spoke with God fearing atheists to learn how the focus on godless atheists overshadows

00:27:12.760 them.

00:27:13.080 You know, things like that.

00:27:14.140 There are many, many examples.

00:27:16.400 There is of course, no such thing, uh, is the point I'm trying to make here.

00:27:19.140 There is no such thing as a Catholic who believes in abortion rights, because that would be 1.00

00:27:23.020 a Catholic who rejects the moral authorities.

00:27:26.240 This is not a, it's not a small detail.

00:27:27.880 Okay.

00:27:28.500 If you're a Catholic claiming that you support abortion rights, then you are Catholic who 0.94

00:27:32.320 me, this means that you reject the moral authority of the church.

00:27:37.780 And if you reject the moral authority of the church, then you're not a Catholic.

00:27:41.480 You don't have to be a Catholic.

00:27:42.940 You're not, you're not required to be, but being a Catholic is a certain thing.

00:27:47.380 This means you're not just like anything else.

00:27:53.520 You can't say I'm a Mormon, but I reject most of the teachings of the Mormon church.

00:27:58.100 Well, then you're not a Mormon. 0.67

00:27:59.620 You can be something else if you want to be, but you can't be that because that's what

00:28:02.760 it means to be that.

00:28:06.040 Uh, but we're going to see a lot more of this kind of thing as the week goes on.

00:28:09.600 I'm sure.

00:28:10.000 Okay.

00:28:10.240 Let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:28:11.760 But before we do that, don't want to forget it is baseball season and the old glory daily

00:28:16.400 wire baseball bat is back.

00:28:17.820 This is a limited edition, handcrafted, custom painted baseball bat emblazoned with the daily

00:28:22.320 wire logo.

00:28:23.440 Very nice looking thing.

00:28:24.700 When we, um, first put this bat out, uh, it was a numbered edition a few months ago and

00:28:29.160 it sold out in 48 hours.

00:28:30.520 And that was when it was only available to all access members.

00:28:33.520 So it was a limited edition for a limited number of people.

00:28:38.000 Now anyone can purchase it, but inventory is still limited.

00:28:41.640 So you got to go and get yours now before they're gone.

00:28:43.740 Text the keyword baseball to eight, three, four, zero, zero baseball to eight, three, four,

00:28:50.200 zero, zero and purchase your bat today.

00:28:51.840 Okay.

00:28:52.560 Let's get to our daily cancellation today for our daily cancellation, a video that may or

00:28:56.740 may not be totally staged and fake.

00:28:58.980 Honestly, I didn't do much research into it before I started shooting the show today, mostly

00:29:02.880 because I'm lazy and also because I really need this video for show content.

00:29:06.820 So I'm going to assume it's real.

00:29:08.860 You see, I like literally everyone else in media.

00:29:11.900 I am at this point, barely human.

00:29:13.760 I think of everything in terms of whether I can use it for content.

00:29:16.680 That's the only thing I care about.

00:29:17.960 Actually, I can, I can relate to the jogger filming his own potential mauling because I

00:29:21.860 might do the same, to be honest with you.

00:29:23.520 Like if I were to accidentally drive off of a 500 foot cliff, the last thing I would think

00:29:28.700 as I plunge to my death is that at least if I somehow survive this, it will make

00:29:32.800 great content.

00:29:34.540 But anyway, my sociopathy isn't really the point today.

00:29:37.480 The point is that this video, which appears to show a woman fed up with her boyfriend,

00:29:42.660 you know, and fed up with him not sealing the deal, deciding to put on a wedding dress

00:29:47.300 and a fanny pack for some reason, grab her enabling bridesmaid and somehow a minister and 1.00

00:29:52.600 go to her boyfriend's job, which is at Target, to force him to marry her. 0.97

00:29:56.460 This is really a form of kidnapping, it seems to me.

00:29:58.580 But here is the footage.

00:30:01.120 Watch this.

00:30:01.520 We put this ring on my finger two years ago, and it's time to do it or get out.

00:30:09.240 We're getting married right now, or I'm leaving, I'm out.

00:30:13.540 I'm done.

00:30:14.700 Like if you don't marry me in this second, I brought the pastor, I brought Emily, he's

00:30:20.520 my bridesmaid.

00:30:21.640 Hi guys.

00:30:22.660 I'm just finally making him commit, you know, like we're getting married now or like it's

00:30:27.400 over.

00:30:28.540 Woo! 0.99

00:30:29.720 Do it.

00:30:32.020 Yes, we can talk about this outside.

00:30:33.980 All right.

00:30:34.580 I'm shaking.

00:30:36.540 Thank you so much.

00:30:42.360 Now, perhaps unsurprisingly, I am canceling all parties concerned here.

00:30:47.160 I cancel the would-be bride on the general grounds of her apparently being a lunatic, though 0.98

00:30:53.100 I suppose she gets points for getting married in a Target parking lot rather than doing the 1.00

00:30:56.700 whole elaborate traditional wedding routine, because if she did the traditional wedding 1.00

00:31:00.240 routine, one shudders to imagine what sort of bridezilla she would be. 0.97

00:31:04.380 She strikes me as the type of bride who would break down in tears in the middle of reception 0.99

00:31:08.100 because the napkins are the wrong shade of white or something.

00:31:11.840 In fact, now that I think of it, we may be asking the wrong question about this incident.

00:31:15.640 We're asking whether it's staged, but do we even know if that guy was actually her boyfriend?

00:31:20.960 How do we know they knew each other at all?

00:31:23.520 Maybe she met him for the first time the previous Tuesday when she went to Target and he was

00:31:28.900 working and she stopped him to ask if they sell sweaters for poodles and his friendliness

00:31:34.460 gave her the impression that they were madly in love.

00:31:36.840 So she showed up a few days later with a priest and demanded that they marry on the spot.

00:31:41.480 You know, it's a tale as old as time.

00:31:42.700 Classic love story.

00:31:43.620 Could be the case here.

00:31:44.800 We really don't know.

00:31:46.600 But she's canceling.

00:31:49.380 Canceled.

00:31:49.740 I also cancel the man, though, because a couple of reasons.

00:31:53.360 First of all, you have done something wrong in your relationship if you have given your

00:31:57.700 girlfriend the impression that it would be acceptable for her to come to your work in

00:32:02.500 a wedding dress and ask to get married real quick on your lunch break.

00:32:06.960 Also, I'm canceling him on the assumption.

00:32:09.260 Let's just assume that it's true that he's been engaged to her for two years and is stringing

00:32:15.360 her along.

00:32:16.000 Her approach here is ill-advised on a number of levels, but she's right, at least, that

00:32:21.720 two years is too long.

00:32:23.280 So she's correct on that score. 0.99

00:32:24.520 I'll defend her there.

00:32:25.660 So he is canceled for that.

00:32:27.100 And they are canceled together.

00:32:28.220 They have that in common, at least.

00:32:30.120 Perhaps it can serve as the foundation for their new life together as a married couple,

00:32:34.340 their mutual cancellation.

00:32:35.840 I don't know.

00:32:36.280 Now, I understand that people today, people in my generation, are afraid of marriage,

00:32:42.820 allergic to it.

00:32:44.400 That's why marriage rates have been dropping while unmarried cohabitation skyrockets. 0.97

00:32:48.920 And I understand, to some extent, why this fear of marriage is there.

00:32:53.140 It's somewhat justified.

00:32:55.460 Older generations, the boomer generation, they complain about millennials being afraid of commitment.

00:33:00.000 But where do you think we contracted this particular disease from?

00:33:04.880 Baby boomers got divorced like it was their hobby, like it was their favorite thing in 1.00

00:33:08.540 the world to do.

00:33:10.480 My parents are still married, but growing up, half of my friends had divorced parents by

00:33:14.880 the time I was in middle school.

00:33:15.980 So a lot of people in my generation grew up in broken homes and didn't get the greatest

00:33:21.400 example of marriage.

00:33:22.500 If you're wondering why your kids don't want to get married, consider the possibility that 0.99

00:33:27.320 they were turned off from the whole enterprise because you suck so bad at it. 0.99

00:33:31.960 Maybe. 0.99

00:33:33.640 That said, you can only use mommy and daddy as an excuse for so long. 0.54

00:33:37.740 And swearing off marriage doesn't really make sense unless you're going to swear off romantic

00:33:41.580 relationships completely and live a celibate life, in which case, more power to you.

00:33:46.120 There's something to be said for that, perhaps.

00:33:47.820 But if you still want to have that sort of companionship, then you really have two ways of

00:33:53.500 going about it.

00:33:54.140 Number one, strive to find and form a lasting, committed, stable relationship with someone

00:33:59.800 who you can come to know and love and with whom you can build a family and a life together

00:34:05.200 and grow old by each other's side.

00:34:07.580 Or two, you can wander from one meaningless, self-centered, temporary relationship to another.

00:34:13.720 The thrill of something new quickly giving way to dissolution and heartbreak again and

00:34:17.580 again and again until finally you're too old for that sort of thing.

00:34:20.560 Your physical beauty wears away and ultimately you're left alone with no one by your side

00:34:25.460 in old age and no child to care for you.

00:34:27.880 Those are really your two options.

00:34:29.960 That's really it.

00:34:31.460 Of course, option one can turn into option two if the marriage doesn't work out. 0.78

00:34:35.320 But still, at the end of the day, these are broadly speaking what you have to choose

00:34:40.240 from if you don't want to be celibate and become a hermit.

00:34:43.540 Which again, more power to you if that's what you want to do.

00:34:46.340 To each their own.

00:34:47.020 But I would highly recommend option one and if you're going to go with option one, that

00:34:51.140 requires some decisiveness and yes, a little bit of risk.

00:34:53.660 You're never going to know everything there is to know about someone before you get married.

00:34:56.700 There's always going to be some mystery in the other, which is a good thing if you look

00:35:00.760 at it the right way.

00:35:02.180 And that means there's always going to be a little bit of a leap you have to take when

00:35:04.800 you tie the knot.

00:35:06.820 Yet putting off the leap won't accomplish much.

00:35:10.060 There's only so much you can feasibly learn about somebody before you've married them.

00:35:14.800 It's part of the bargain.

00:35:17.040 And as far as that goes, you'll have learned almost all that you can learn very quickly.

00:35:21.880 One thing I hear from people a lot is that, well, you know, we have to live together for

00:35:25.680 five years before marriage to find out if the other person has annoying habits.

00:35:30.740 Are you kidding?

00:35:31.540 Of course they have annoying habits.

00:35:33.000 Everyone does.

00:35:33.600 I have approximately 900,000 annoying habits.

00:35:36.140 My wife has counted all of them.

00:35:38.000 But you learn to have fun with the annoying habits.

00:35:40.100 At least I do.

00:35:41.240 My wife doesn't like the sound of chewing. 1.00

00:35:42.820 So what do I do?

00:35:43.840 Well, when we're watching a movie, I intentionally chomp on a bowl of tortilla chips just to piss

00:35:50.920 her off. 1.00

00:35:51.340 It's a great time.

00:35:52.760 Intentionally annoying her is my love language because I'm essentially still in sixth grade,

00:35:57.300 emotionally speaking.

00:35:58.820 So don't worry about that sort of thing.

00:36:01.420 It'll happen.

00:36:02.340 You work around it.

00:36:03.200 Um, I tend to think you can know if somebody is marriage material and whether you want

00:36:09.220 to marry them in like a month.

00:36:11.940 I know I did with my wife, but let's be cautious and say six months.

00:36:15.960 By six months, you will know almost everything you can know about that person before marriage.

00:36:22.340 It's possible they're hiding some deep, dark secret.

00:36:24.980 It's possible your beloved is a chainsaw murderer.

00:36:27.460 But frankly, if you haven't figured that out in six months of dating, you probably won't

00:36:31.680 figure it out in six years either.

00:36:34.020 And besides, chainsaw murdering isn't a deal breaker in a marriage. 0.93

00:36:37.240 You can work around that too.

00:36:39.020 Spice of life and all that.

00:36:40.940 So make your decision in six months.

00:36:43.580 Get engaged.

00:36:45.240 Get married six months after that.

00:36:46.940 One year is all you should need.

00:36:48.460 One year.

00:36:49.560 That's it.

00:36:50.040 One and done, let's say.

00:36:51.260 That's what I did.

00:36:52.640 And so I decided that, of course, everyone else should do it too.

00:36:55.900 And when I am theocratic fascist dictator of America, this will be obviously required by

00:37:00.580 law.

00:37:01.240 Under my regime, upon reaching adulthood, you will be given six months to find someone

00:37:06.580 and get married.

00:37:07.180 If you don't find anyone, somebody will be assigned to you.

00:37:11.140 The wedding will be carried out shortly after that.

00:37:13.560 There will be no reception as music and dancing will be, of course, banned.

00:37:16.820 And then you'll have 24 hours for a honeymoon at Six Flags or something before being sent

00:37:21.460 to work in the factories for the rest of your life.

00:37:24.200 There may be a few flaws in that sort of system, I admit.

00:37:26.920 But it's better than what we're doing now.

00:37:30.520 In fact, really anything is better than what we're doing now.

00:37:33.680 Actually, what you just saw there is probably better than the way that most people my generation

00:37:39.800 handle relationships.

00:37:40.780 So maybe I don't cancel them, in fact.

00:37:42.660 Maybe I cancel everybody else.

00:37:43.800 You know, and look, they have a great story to tell their kids one day, if everything

00:37:50.620 works out.

00:37:53.920 And I, you know, I think that should it go that way, when the kids finally hear that story,

00:38:01.740 they won't be surprised because they'll know their mom and they'll hear that story and think,

00:38:06.840 yeah, well, it sounds like mom.

00:38:08.780 All right.

00:38:09.360 So who am I canceling?

00:38:10.840 I'm canceling Commitment Averse.

00:38:14.800 Millennials.

00:38:15.260 I guess that's that in the end is who it's canceled.

00:38:17.780 I guess the guy, the guy is canceled, not the woman.

00:38:21.180 We went on a circuitous path here, but this is where we ended up.

00:38:25.440 Okay.
