Today on the Matt Wall Show, Pfizer is seeking an emergency authorization to start giving the
00:00:04.500
vaccine to kids aged 5 to 11. But what's the emergency exactly? And what will we do when
00:00:10.380
the government starts mandating this stuff to young children? Also, gang members in Chicago
00:00:14.740
get into a shootout in broad daylight, and the DA has decided to charge none of them with crimes at
00:00:19.960
all. Plus, a school shooting in Texas has the left screaming about gun control again. But as always,
00:00:24.480
they're missing the point. And in our daily cancellation, we'll discuss the TikToker who
00:00:27.560
claims that almost all men are rapists. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

You may think that you can go online, maybe put your browser in incognito mode and your online
00:00:47.100
activity will be private, but it's not as simple as that. There are many ways that these companies
00:00:54.360
can still track your internet activity. And that means to really stop people from seeing the sites
00:00:59.380
you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN. Think about all the times you've used
00:01:03.740
Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' house. Without ExpressVPN, every site you
00:01:08.380
visit could be logged by the admin of that network. And that's still true even when you're in incognito
00:01:12.880
mode. I mean, do you really want your parents to see what you've been looking at? I mean, personally,
00:01:17.120
I wouldn't care if they did, but I mean, I don't want to know about all the details of things you
00:01:20.540
look at it when you're on your computer. What's more, your home internet provider can also see
00:01:24.580
and record your browsing data. And in the U.S., they're legally allowed to sell that data to
00:01:28.640
advertisers. ExpressVPN is an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through
00:01:33.000
a network of secure servers so that your private online activity stays just that private. So stop

00:01:53.820
even sure if this episode will see the light of day, given what I'm going to say here at the
00:01:57.640
beginning. There's no reason why it ought to be taken down, of course. There's no reason why any
00:02:00.820
opinion ought to be censored, but there's just no telling how our big tech overlords will react these
00:02:05.980
days. The rules are arbitrary for a reason, and yet some important points I think still need to be
00:02:10.920
made about this. The former FDA commissioner, Scott Gottlieb, appeared on CBS to express optimism
00:02:19.140
that the Pfizer COVID vaccine might be available to children aged 5 to 11 by as early as this
00:02:26.600
Halloween. Let's listen. Lastly, the CEO of Pfizer, the company you started on the board of,
00:02:32.840
affirmed today that that data on vaccinations for 5 to 11-year-olds will be going to the FDA within a
00:02:40.200
matter of days. Is that confirming your schedule of vaccines by Halloween? Yeah, I think that's still
00:02:46.540
possible. FDA has said that the review is going to be a matter of weeks, not months. I interpret that
00:02:52.100
to mean potentially a four-week review, maybe a six-week review. So I think on the low end,
00:02:58.640
it could take four weeks, and that could give you a vaccine by Halloween. If it slips a little,
00:03:02.840
it could be mid-November. Now, it should be noted that Pfizer is asking for an emergency
00:03:08.340
authorization to start injecting this stuff into kids. But what is the emergency exactly?
00:03:12.980
Kids are doing fine. COVID is no serious threat to them. Why do we need to rush this out like it's
00:03:18.300
an emergency when it isn't? An article on NBC.com has more. It says, Pfizer and BioNTech announced
00:03:25.120
Thursday that they had submitted an emergency request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
00:03:28.940
for authorization of the company's two-dose COVID-19 vaccine in children ages 5 to 11.
00:03:33.720
Quote, with new cases in children in the U.S. continuing to be at a high level,
00:03:38.120
this submission is an important step in our ongoing effort against COVID-19. This is from
00:03:43.160
Pfizer. We're committed to working with the FDA with the ultimate goal of helping protect children
00:03:48.520
against this serious public health threat. An FDA advisory committee plans to meet to discuss
00:03:53.160
authorization on October 26th. The company said last month that the vaccine was safe in children 5 to
00:03:59.160
11 and showed a, quote, robust antibody response based on data collected in a trial that included
00:04:04.820
more than 2,000 children. During the trial, children were given two smaller doses than those given to
00:04:09.380
people who are 12 and older. Pfizer said that the shots produced antibody responses and side effects
00:04:14.140
that were comparable to those seen in a similar study of people 16 to 25 who received the full dose
00:04:19.240
of the vaccine. Oh, okay. Well, new COVID cases are at a high level, Pfizer says. Pretty broad,
00:04:26.580
just at a high level. What Pfizer forgets to mention is that those cases, 6 million in total,
00:04:32.220
and that includes kids of all ages, not just 5 to 11. But those 6 million cases have resulted in death
00:04:38.300
for a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of them. Even hospitalization rates,
00:04:44.680
according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, could be as low as 0.1%. The vast majority of cases
00:04:50.880
result in mild symptoms or no symptoms. This is not a serious public health threat for kids.
00:04:56.580
Not for kids, anyway. It is for their great-grandparents, who are almost all vaccinated
00:05:02.060
by now. But it's not for them. Kids already have, through their natural immune system,
00:05:07.520
greater protection from COVID than vaccinated adults do. We also have nearly two years of data
00:05:13.820
to support these conclusions. We have a case study, then, that includes 6 million kids,
00:05:20.820
at least, and much more than that. I mean, those are confirmed cases.
00:05:26.520
Over the course of 22 months, we could say, therefore, with great confidence that COVID is
00:05:31.700
extremely unlikely to do significant damage to our kids. What about the COVID vaccine? In that case,
00:05:37.580
according to Pfizer, they've tested it on 2,000 children. We have data from, you know, 6 million kids
00:05:44.320
demonstrating their robust natural immunity versus data from 2,000 children, according to Pfizer,
00:05:50.120
that says that, allegedly, it's safe and effective in the same age group. We have no data about the
00:05:55.600
long-term effects of the vaccine in kids. Well, we can. How could we? And by long-term here, I mean,
00:06:01.280
we don't know the effects beyond a few weeks in this relatively small sample size for the vaccine.
00:06:07.800
That's an important point, too, because consider this report from Reuters published a couple of days
00:06:12.900
ago. Maybe you didn't hear about this. There's a reason if you didn't. The headline is Sweden and
00:06:17.940
Denmark paused Moderna COVID-19 vaccine for younger age groups. And it says, quote, Sweden and Denmark
00:06:24.240
said on Wednesday they're pausing the use of Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine for younger age groups
00:06:28.940
after reports of possible rare cardiovascular side effects. The Swedish health agency said it would
00:06:34.760
pause using the shot for people born in 1991. So that's anyone 30 or younger? As data pointed to
00:06:43.600
an increase of myocarditis and pericarditis among youths and young adults that have been vaccinated.
00:06:49.080
Those conditions involve an inflammation of the heart or its lining. The health agency said the
00:06:53.620
connection is especially clear when it comes to Moderna's vaccine spike vax, especially after the
00:06:57.940
second dose. But they said that the risk is very small. Okay, the risk is small, they say.
00:07:04.760
We don't know the exact connection, if there is one. This is also Moderna, not Pfizer. But that's
00:07:10.680
all exactly the point, right? The unknowns. Meanwhile, there are certain things we do know,
00:07:15.460
things we know as certainly as we can know anything when it comes to this virus.
00:07:19.080
And one of those things is that COVID itself presents only a very small, minuscule threat to
00:07:24.880
young kids. We know that more firmly than we know almost anything else about this virus or the
00:07:30.720
vaccines that are meant to prevent it. And so I'm resting on that knowledge, on that data,
00:07:35.840
on that science when I say, as a parent of four kids, all under 12, that they're not going to be
00:07:40.520
getting the vaccine. It's not happening, period. We know that California has already preemptively
00:07:46.820
mandated the vaccine for all kids in school. Once this rush job is complete and the drug is approved
00:07:51.880
for those age groups, they've already said that it's going to be mandated. I expect many other states
00:07:56.340
to follow suit. Who knows what will happen on the federal level, but I think we could probably
00:07:59.800
make a pretty confident guess. And will the mandates for children go beyond public schools?
00:08:05.900
It seems certain that it will happen there in public schools. And if you don't want your kid
00:08:09.120
to take this vaccine, then you're going to reach a point here where you just have to pull them out of
00:08:13.660
the government school system. Those will be your only choices soon enough. But will our rulers move
00:08:20.140
to preclude our kids from general participation in society as they're trying to do with adults,
00:08:26.060
if they aren't vaccinated? We'll see soon enough. The real question is whether this will be our line
00:08:32.100
in the sand, our last line. There should have been many other lines, but those have all been crossed
00:08:36.800
already. Will we allow the government now to force an unnecessary drug into our kids' bodies?
00:08:44.480
Or will this be our metaphorical Alamo? You know, the issue goes beyond science.
00:08:49.700
It's true that my personal reasons for rejecting the vaccine for my kids
00:08:55.500
are science-based, as I've already explained. This is a simple matter of looking at the data
00:09:03.120
and making a decision based on that, as I have done, as many other parents have done.
00:09:09.880
But if the government tried to force this substance into my kids' bodies,
00:09:16.700
it wouldn't just be scientifically unnecessary. It would be basically a total revocation of my
00:09:23.420
rights as a parent and my kids' rights. The government would be forcing a medical decision
00:09:28.140
onto my kids, not even because my kids need it. Okay, so this isn't like a case where my kid needs a
00:09:34.620
blood transfusion or they're going to die. And the government comes and says, you got to do it.
00:09:40.780
If for some reason I wasn't going to. That's not what this is. This is not forcing it on the kids
00:09:47.680
because they need it. We could have a separate debate about those kinds of situations.
00:09:56.600
That's not what this is. This is simply because the government has decided that it wants my kids
00:10:01.740
to have it. And if it can do that, if I allow it to do that, if we allow it, then, well, game over.
00:10:20.000
You know, whenever I see someone with puffy eyes, all I can think about is how much better they would
00:10:24.940
look if only they knew about GenuCell. I mean, I talked about, I saw someone with puffy eyes the other
00:10:28.820
day. I went up to them and said, excuse me, do you realize your eyes are puffy and disgusting?
00:10:32.900
And they looked at me and I, and then that's when I had a chance to tell them about GenuCell. I don't
00:10:37.280
know if they appreciated it, but you will, if you get GenuCell. If you're one of the millions of

00:11:32.000
Okay, this is from the Daily Wire. It says, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Fox's office refused
00:11:38.060
this in Chicago, refused to charge five men arrested in connection with a gang-related gunfight
00:11:44.620
that left at least one person dead and two wounded, even though police requested a number of felony
00:11:49.840
charges for each individual suspect because the five men were mutual combatants. The five men were
00:11:55.300
released, leaving Chicago officials, including Mayor Lori Lightfoot, incensed. The Chicago Sun-Times
00:12:01.140
reported that the men, linked to a deadly gang-related shootout Friday in Austin, were released from
00:12:06.600
custody after prosecutors declined to charge each of them with a pair of felonies, including first-degree
00:12:11.020
murder, even though police sought to charge all five suspects with murder and aggravated battery.
00:12:15.500
Um, the outlet noted that the brazen mid-morning gunfight, which left one shooter dead and two
00:12:21.060
suspects wounded, stemmed from an internal dispute between two factions of the four-corner hustler
00:12:26.200
street gang, according to an internal police report and a law enforcement source with knowledge of
00:12:30.700
the investigation. So, uh, to review here, this is a gunfight in the middle of the day. Somebody dies.
00:12:37.560
They arrest the survivors of the gunfight, and then prosecutors say, yeah, you know what,
00:12:44.920
we're going to let this one slide. Not even a slap on the wrist here. Not even, not even give them
00:12:52.600
like a ticket for, for being a public nuisance. Um, all five suspects were released without charges on
00:13:00.400
Sunday because according to the state's attorney's office, well, listen to this. Here's the reason why
00:13:05.400
they're not being charged because according to the state's attorney's office, they were targeting each
00:13:10.680
other. So no harm, no foul. I mean, somebody died, but no harm, no foul. Um, a spokeswoman first claimed
00:13:18.820
that prosecutors had determined that the evidence was insufficient to meet our burden of proof to
00:13:24.340
approve felony charges. Even though these guys were out in the open shooting at each other, but there's
00:13:30.540
not enough evidence that it happened. Um, but they didn't specify what evidence might be necessary
00:13:36.400
to bring charges, um, that the police department felt were warranted. Uh, later they noted that mutual
00:13:43.860
combatants was, mutual combatants was cited as the reason for the rejection. A designation the Sun
00:13:50.900
Times noted refers to a fight or struggle that two parties willingly engage in. Uh, the Cook County
00:13:58.080
prosecutor released another individual from custody last week for the same reason, despite indications
00:14:03.060
that they were engaging in gang violence. Uh, um, you know, I, I keep scrolling down here to see the
00:14:11.540
punchline if there's something else, but that's, that's it. They're saying both, both sides agreed to
00:14:18.620
engage in this gunfight and they were only shooting at each other. And so we're not going to charge them
00:14:26.120
with a crime. This is the Chicago attorney's office. Basically what they've done here is they
00:14:33.240
have in one fell swoop, they have decriminalized gang violence as long as it's between each other.
00:14:40.400
So if you're a member of one gang and someone's on your, your corner, they're selling drugs,
00:14:44.940
you can go up and shoot them as, as long as you keep it, you know, within that, as long, as long as
00:14:51.360
you, you keep it within a, as long as it's inter gang violence, you don't involve anybody else.
00:15:00.560
This, and you know, it's bad when he, when even mayor Lori Lightfoot, who is herself a deranged
00:15:06.820
leftist far left radical lunatic, even she is ticked off about this because she at least has the sense
00:15:17.760
to see that this is, you're, you're ushering in total chaos is what you're doing here.
00:15:23.060
You are now abandoning our city to chaos. That's what's happening.
00:15:29.140
Um, in fact, that's what she said. Uh, she said, if they do not feel like the criminal justice system
00:15:33.820
is going to hold them accountable, talking about violent criminals, gang members, we're going to see
00:15:39.540
a level of brazenness that will send this city into chaos. And we cannot let that happen.
00:15:44.240
Um, it's hard to imagine that it could get more brazen or more chaotic in a place like Chicago,
00:15:51.940
but that's what, that's what they're looking at. This is so, so what I guess dueling is, is,
00:15:59.560
can, can we have duels now? Is that back on the table? Has Chicago just legalized dueling?
00:16:05.840
No. So if you have a, a beef with another guy, you can agree to meet out at high noon out in the
00:16:13.200
street, shoot at each other. Of course, Mayor Lightfoot has no room to complain. This is the
00:16:22.400
inevitable result of running these cities according to leftist policies and philosophies.
00:16:28.780
Because what really lies at the root of it, whatever excuse they give Kim Fox gives for not
00:16:36.760
filing any charges, the real reason she's not filing charges is because she just fundamentally
00:16:42.560
doesn't believe that it's their fault. She thinks that they're all, they're all victims.
00:16:49.520
You know, they're victims of, um, of systemic racism. You know, this is, this is not, this is not
00:16:58.600
anything they're doing of their own free will and volition. So you can't blame them for it. They're
00:17:04.740
all victims. A violent criminal who goes out in Chicago and kills someone else is himself a victim
00:17:10.620
as well. That's the mentality that Lori Lightfoot subscribes to. All these Democrats running all
00:17:20.240
the cities believe that as well. So Kim Fox is really just taking it to its logical conclusion,
00:17:26.900
which is to embrace anarchy and chaos and to basically abolish the law completely.
00:17:33.860
All right. Chris Hayes ran a segment last night in response to, um, Josh Holly, who was skeptical
00:17:42.740
about this claim that school board members are the victims of widespread intimidation and death threats.
00:17:48.360
So Chris Hayes, uh, spliced together Holly with clips that are meant to prove that this is a problem.
00:17:55.460
So Chris Hayes and his team, they went and they found, um, examples, you know, trying to prove that no,
00:18:00.160
whether this, the FBI and the Biden administration going after parents at school board meetings.
00:18:07.380
This isn't, as I have claimed, as Josh Holly has claimed, it's, this is not about intimidating
00:18:11.820
parents or trying to silence them. There is in fact a big problem. It's not, it's not just the
00:18:16.120
parents are criticizing school board members or raising their voices and yelling. Um, they are,
00:18:21.080
there, there's death threats, there's violence. It's an epidemic and that's why the DOJ needs to be
00:18:27.620
involved. Chris Hayes wants to prove that. So hit, so he and his team got together and they got all
00:18:33.920
the clips they could find to try to make that point, to try to prove it. And here's the best
00:18:39.540
they could do. Let's watch this. He thinks innocent parents are being silenced by the DOJ for politely
00:18:45.540
disagreeing with their local government. He was indignant as he asked the deputy attorney general
00:18:50.140
about the existence of school board threats and intimidation, which is frankly kind of astounding
00:18:54.460
when the reality of what's happening on the ground is undeniable.
00:19:00.000
Is waiting to express one's view at a school board meeting, harassment and intimidation?
00:19:05.380
We know who you are. We know who you are. You can leave freely, but we will find you and we know
00:19:12.200
who you are. Harassment and intimidation? What did those terms mean in the context of a local
00:19:18.580
school board meeting? The death threat was, you're going to get knifed, you're going to get a
00:19:24.700
you're dead. Tell me where the line is with parents expressing their concerns, waiting for hours in the
00:19:33.420
school board meetings. We've all seen the videos. This happened in my state. People were actually
00:19:36.600
throwing fists and hitting each other outside the auditorium this evening after the board unanimously
00:19:42.660
voted to approve requiring masks. If this isn't a deliberate attempt to chill parents from showing
00:19:50.760
up at school board meetings for their elected school boards, I don't know what is. One of the board
00:19:55.800
members they called for her and her children to choke and die. Another one said that the board member
00:20:01.520
was about to get ruined. Another one suggested another board member die by suicide, calling also
00:20:07.620
for harassment and bullying of board members. You are attempting to intimidate them. You are
00:20:13.000
attempting to silence them. It has an effect on you that you can't really put into words when someone
00:20:19.240
describes the way they want to come into your home and end your life. I cannot believe that an attorney
00:20:27.640
general of the United States is engaging in this kind of conduct. And frankly, I can't believe that you
00:20:32.940
are sitting here today defending it. Josh Hawley is very upset. We're going to send him that
00:20:38.400
montage just to read him into a little bit of what's been going on at the local level, but I suspect he
00:20:42.740
knows. Okay, so there you go. I wanted you to see all that because that's the worst of the worst. I can
00:20:47.480
assume that Chris Hayes, MSNBC, if there were more compelling examples of parents engaging in actual
00:20:56.340
violence, intimidation, death threats, they wouldn't have left those on the cutting room floor. So that's the
00:21:02.380
best they could do. And what do we see there? We saw exactly one clip of an actual parent
00:21:09.580
engaging in what you could arguably call intimidation, saying, we know who you are.
00:21:16.300
Of course, that kind of language you hear from Antifa, BLM, I mean, this is,
00:21:21.900
you have to really stretch to see that as a threat. It could just as easily be a threat to,
00:21:30.440
we're going to vote you off the school board. But even if you give them that, that's the one clip
00:21:37.560
they were able to show. Verified, confirmed of an actual parent saying something that you could
00:21:45.460
interpret as a threat if you wanted to. And then what else did we have? We had a news report of
00:21:51.860
parents throwing fists. Okay. Well, there have been a handful of cases of that where parents on both
00:22:00.500
sides get into heated scuffles and no one is seriously injured, but that's on both sides.
00:22:09.640
And then you had a couple of school board members alleging, claiming that they had received death
00:22:15.620
threats. We don't actually see those. They just tell us that they've gotten them. Maybe they have,
00:22:22.340
maybe they haven't. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to, I don't believe it on face value. I just don't.
00:22:29.640
Especially when you have so much, when there's so much to be gained by claiming that you're getting
00:22:33.720
the death threats. Maybe you are, but I would need to see them because I'm not, I'm not going to,
00:22:39.700
I'm not going to take your word for it. Especially when this is the, this is the kind of
00:22:45.700
reflexive move of everybody these days, uh, especially public officials when they're getting
00:22:53.340
criticism and they're facing backlash. Every time we are, I'm getting death threats now. Maybe you are,
00:22:58.640
if you are, that's very bad, but also maybe you're not all, even if it, let's just pretend that all of
00:23:08.480
that is, is those are all valid examples of, you know, intimidation threats. If we believe all of
00:23:16.220
it, we just saw. I mean, considering how many school board school boards there are across the
00:23:22.300
country, how many meetings and protests there have been, does that just really that you think that
00:23:30.160
justifies the department of justice getting involved? You think that is a reason for the FBI
00:23:43.860
Because I could tell you something right now, if someone wanted to make a montage of the things
00:23:47.860
that are done and said at BLM rallies and by Antifa, you know, they're not going to have to
00:23:55.360
grasp at straws nearly as much. And we know FBI, DOJ never involved there.
00:24:04.840
So this only, all you have to do is look, listen to the other side as they're trying to justify this.
00:24:11.660
That's all the evidence that you need, that it is not justifiable.
00:24:15.300
That this is indeed about intimidating and shutting down, silencing parents.
00:24:25.440
This is a warning. You know, it's, it's better to stay home. It's better not to come to the meetings.
00:24:31.320
Because if you do, then you're going to end up on the FBI's radar. We're watching you.
00:24:39.460
All right. There was, uh, another school shooting yesterday. This one was the circumstances of this
00:24:45.460
one, a little bit different from what we normally think of when we, when we hear about school
00:24:49.700
shootings. Um, this is from, uh, the local NBC affiliate. It says four people were hurt Wednesday
00:24:56.600
morning during a shooting at a Timberview high school in Arlington. According to police,
00:25:01.040
Arlington police said that there was a fight between students on the second floor of the school
00:25:04.540
when one of the students pulled out a gun and, um, that student is 18 years old. And we still don't
00:25:11.460
know a lot of the details here, but he fired the gun and he, and four people got hit. We still don't
00:25:17.460
know if he was firing at the person that he was having a fight with and then accidentally hit the
00:25:22.980
other people, or if he just started spraying bull. I don't think we know that yet. Um, and also we hear
00:25:29.980
that it's a fight. There's a, there's a video going around claiming that it's a footage of this fight
00:25:36.040
that led to the shooting. And it's not really a fight so much as one kid is just getting absolutely
00:25:41.680
pummeled and, uh, and assaulted by another. And in that case, we don't know which kid is which.
00:25:47.060
So there's a, there's a lot of unknown, but for the left and the media, um, they,
00:25:52.420
they know as much as they need to know there's a shooting it's at a school. And so that means,
00:25:57.080
um, let's start shilling for gun control. And so we've seen that of course, in social media right
00:26:01.740
away, this connection with, uh, with gun control. Here's just one example, Chris Murphy, Senator
00:26:07.660
Chris Murphy in Connecticut. Uh, he posted what he, what he says, what he claims is a screenshot of a
00:26:13.520
text message conversation between a kid at this school and, um, and his, and his mother, um, saying
00:26:20.620
there's a school shooting. And he says, read this. It's from today in Texas. Each day you choose to be
00:26:25.360
too busy to join the anti-gun violence movement. You endorse this as the new normal for our kids,
00:26:31.180
for your kids. And of course, with the people promoting gun control, as is always the case
00:26:38.880
in the aftermath of incidents like this, what they fail to mention is that there were already a whole,
00:26:47.280
a number of, of, of laws in place that had, had already made this very illegal. So if laws in and
00:27:00.220
of themselves were able to prevent this, then it should not have happened in the first place.
00:27:04.480
So this guy, not a kid, he's a, he's a grown man, 18 years old. Um, he brought a gun to school.
00:27:14.260
That's definitely against the law. Despite what caricature you, the left may have in their head
00:27:20.020
of, of Texas, it's not legal for students to bring guns to school in Texas. I got news for you.
00:27:25.140
Um, so that's against the law. He broke that law. Uh, also he's 18 years old and you can't carry a
00:27:33.680
handgun at 18 in Texas. You gotta be 21. Um, so that's also against the law and he's, um, and he shot
00:27:45.620
for people, which is also against the law. So a whole number of laws that he broke and is going to rightly
00:27:53.060
pay the price for it. The question that we, that we have to ask Chris Murphy and that Chris Murphy
00:27:59.980
and people like him will never answer clearly is what other laws, if those laws didn't stop this,
00:28:07.980
then what law would have, what additional law, if somebody is breaking, is, is committing an act
00:28:18.120
in which they, they break 20 laws. Do you think adding another so that they break 21 instead of
00:28:27.000
just 20? Is that what difference is that going to make? As far as being in the, the anti gun violence
00:28:35.740
movement, I don't even know what that means. Anti sure. Yeah. We're all against gun violence.
00:28:41.880
Um, I I'm against people falling victim to any form of violence with any, with any kind of weapon.
00:28:51.560
So I'll one up you, Chris, uh, Chris Murphy. I'm anti weapon violence of all kinds.
00:29:01.320
If someone is falling victim, unless it's self-defense, I'm, I'm, I am, uh, against, uh,
00:29:05.600
violence committed by any kind of weapon at all. I am anti, uh, I'm anti violence. If it's unjustified
00:29:13.620
violence, so you, you, you've, you're focusing only on guns. I'll go, I'll go further than that.
00:29:23.820
The question is what additional laws can actually prevent this?
00:29:29.120
Because those forms of violence are already illegal in about 10 different ways, at least.
00:29:35.600
Unless you live in Chicago, where apparently actually now it's, it's legal,
00:29:38.400
but you got to take that up with the Democrats that are running those cities.
00:29:44.340
Um, so that's not an issue here. Although I do see an, uh, another point that could be made
00:29:52.780
when you hear about yet another shooting out of school, even if the circumstances here are a little
00:29:58.480
bit different from again, what you normally think of when we think about mass shootings at schools,
00:30:02.600
but still it's more violence in the school system.
00:30:07.660
And I agree that violence in the school system is a problem.
00:30:15.800
You know, there are many schools, especially in the city where, uh, maybe kids aren't getting shot
00:30:20.200
every day. Thank God. But there is violence every day.
00:30:24.100
They might be using their fists and throwing chairs at each other, but there's violence every
00:30:29.920
single day. In many of these schools, it is, it's chaos.
00:30:41.960
When are we going to look at the system itself? I mean, the school system itself.
00:30:45.520
Maybe there's a problem with the school system itself.
00:30:51.020
Maybe this is just another reason to actually homeschool your kids.
00:30:57.540
In fact, it boggles my mind that we hear that, you know, there's a violence epidemic in the schools.
00:31:07.420
The parents and the family members of the shooter in this case have come out and said that he was
00:31:11.600
bullied and that's what he was responding to that. You know, he'd been bullied for years and years.
00:31:15.340
Pretty common excuse you hear in these kinds of cases. I don't know if it's true or not.
00:31:26.200
And yet the same people who tell us that about the school system,
00:31:29.660
they also tell us that, well, you got to send your kid to public school
00:31:38.700
You got to send them into this environment where bullying and violence is out of control
00:31:47.460
But you have to send your kids into that so that they can be properly socialized.
00:32:02.260
where you got kids shooting each other, getting into fights every day.
00:32:15.420
Yet another reason to keep your kids home and homeschool them.
00:32:19.160
Here's something from Justin Trudeau that I have to just read because I'm
00:32:27.680
He said, people across the country are lighting candles to honor indigenous women,
00:32:31.960
girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA plus people who are missing or have been murdered.
00:32:41.000
We must continue to work together, raise awareness, and advocate
00:32:55.700
Did he have some kind of mini seizure or spasms in the middle of typing?
00:33:05.600
I actually, I was looking that up out of curiosity because I, I, I, is that, is that,
00:33:13.660
And apparently that means, okay, 2SLGBTQQIA plus, that is two spirit, okay, two spirit,
00:33:22.980
lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual plus.
00:33:27.560
And then everybody else that we're, we're lumping in there.
00:33:34.400
We're not even, we're not only including two spirit, but they're getting, um,
00:33:40.320
They're getting pride of place right at the very beginning, two spirit.
00:33:47.560
For the, um, 12 or 13 people in the world to identify as two spirit, whatever the hell
00:33:55.520
It's good that we put them right there at the, at the front of the acronym.
00:34:04.060
She was, uh, performing at a concert in Texas and decided to speak out against the Texas
00:34:10.580
And, uh, Hey, I mean, maybe she makes, uh, a compelling case, you know, Billie Eilish.
00:34:17.960
So let's, let's just hear what she has to say about the Texas abortion law.
00:34:39.980
Men in general, sorry, but old ones, especially.
00:34:45.580
And I have to be honest with you that when they made the law, I almost
00:35:22.500
Maybe she had something interesting and intelligent to say, but apparently not.
00:35:28.480
All she wants to say is that we, uh, that we men, you know, we should shut up about her,
00:35:37.480
No one's talking about your body, Billie Eilish.
00:35:43.080
Who, who, who in the pro-life movement is talking about women's bodies?
00:35:56.700
All we are doing, all we ever talk about when it comes to this issue, our focus as pro-lifers
00:36:05.840
That's what we're trying to defend is the body and the dignity and the moral worth of
00:36:17.360
All we ever hear from the other side, stop talking about our bodies, our bodies.
00:36:32.660
You know, when you have one side of the debate that feels the need to const, all they ever
00:36:39.360
They will simply never engage honestly on this issue.
00:36:48.800
When you've got one side of the debate that always lies about what the other side is actually
00:36:58.760
Well, that should, that should tell you who's on, who's on the right and wrong side of this
00:37:02.480
Next from the daily wire, it says the U S space agency, uh, uh, NASA plans to conduct a mission
00:37:08.440
next month to deflect a pair of asteroids fair, far out in deep space to keep them from threatening
00:37:13.880
Dubbed the DART mission or the double asteroid redirection test, the national aeronautics
00:37:20.400
and space agency will spend, we'll send a spacecraft to a pair of asteroids on November 24th, a bit
00:37:28.940
Um, and if all goes according to plan, it will smash into one of the two asteroids known as
00:37:34.200
Diddy moon at roughly 13,500 miles per hour, nearly a full year later.
00:37:44.700
And, uh, Diddy moon sounds like a, I don't know, a Teletubby or something more than 500
00:37:49.040
feet wide and orbits a much larger space rock known as Diddy muss, which is five times as big.
00:37:55.680
Anyway, there are these two, two big asteroids that potentially could threaten to cause devastating,
00:38:03.600
And who knows, maybe wipe out all life on earth.
00:38:06.260
And so they're sending these, these rockets out to deflect them before that happens.
00:38:12.860
And my first question to that is why this was our way out and you're going to ruin that
00:38:19.600
for us, NASA, but then I am giving a little bit of hope given that this is the U S government
00:38:26.780
And so it seems there's, there's a, you know, a pretty good chance.
00:38:30.660
It seems like that, um, they could go and accidentally deflect this thing into earth.
00:38:35.380
So it seems a pretty good chance that this thing was never going to threaten earth at all.
00:38:39.560
And they've hatched this plan and they're going to send, they're going to deflect it right
00:38:42.880
Now, both asteroids are going to hit us at the same time, which you'd have to admit would
00:38:48.400
If that were to happen, the means before we all perish in a ball of fire, the means would
00:38:56.100

All right, let's get now to reading the comments.
00:40:07.840
This theocratic policy's dictatorship is on its way.
00:40:13.620
Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.
00:40:25.460
MFN says, Matt's dog situation is worth its own episodes.
00:40:29.420
So, my dog has already replaced me in my family, and now you want the dog to replace me on
00:40:37.660
My whole home life is now about this damn dog, and now you want the show to be about
00:40:44.700
Maybe I'll just bring the dog in here, have him sit here for an hour in front of the camera?
00:40:47.160
Don't answer that, because a lot of you probably would prefer that, and I don't want to hear it.
00:40:53.280
Ty says, Matt, I wanted to know if you've struggled giving up NFL football in the wake
00:40:59.220
In addition to virtue signaling on the field with phrases such as end racism, the league
00:41:05.840
I know for me personally, the NFL is hard to give up, but I have contemplated it.
00:41:11.880
Yes, the answer to your question is, I have found it difficult.
00:41:23.160
I used to be an NBA fan up until recently, but with this most recent round of BLM virtue
00:41:29.100
signaling, when it was virtue signaling on steroids starting about a year or two years
00:41:35.600
ago, I couldn't do it anymore, so I can't watch the NBA.
00:41:43.680
But the NFL, I do try to rationalize it in that, number one, it's not nearly as bad as
00:41:58.620
One thing I like about NFL players, for one thing, one thing I've always liked about the
00:42:01.840
NFL, about football in general, is that it seems to attract a lot of people of faith,
00:42:07.600
You hear NFL players after games, and people make fun of them for this, but talking about
00:42:12.820
they had a big game, they scored touchdowns, and you always hear NFL players, even the
00:42:15.960
big stars, saying, ah, give glory to God for that.
00:42:19.580
And you hear even Christians mocking that, as if it's silly.
00:42:24.660
I mean, we should give glory to God in all things.
00:42:26.300
And every time I hear an NFL player say something like that, I think it's great.
00:42:32.460
And I think that stuff really makes a difference.
00:42:36.140
It seems small, but to have athletes who are glorifying God, even in small ways, it makes
00:42:44.960
So, you know, I balance that, but it is rationalization, I suppose.
00:42:50.820
I just enjoy watching football, and I enjoy watching it with my family.
00:42:53.580
And there's part of me that I feel, you know, I don't want to let the left take this away
00:43:06.240
Ted Kaczynski, apparently a fan of the show, says, when grown-ass adults refer to a grown-ass
00:43:17.980
I didn't hear you in the 90s making this criticism of Puff Daddy fans, so I think some hypocrisy
00:43:27.480
Misinformation says, tell the school board people that activists harassing them at their
00:43:34.700
That is part of the process, and, you know, apparently even following them into a bathroom
00:43:44.960
And Mo Word says, to the PA legislator guy, there are plenty of laws that are not in men's
00:43:53.940
Men have to fight for equal custody, pay, alimony, and child support.
00:44:00.280
I mean, when it comes to the law, there's no question that the sexes are unequal and are
00:44:08.040
treated unequally before the law, but that women are the beneficiaries in that case.
00:44:14.380
Now, some people are more equal than others, and when it comes to the law, women are the
00:44:21.560
Women have, because of their sex, they have legal rights that men don't have.
00:44:29.080
And let's just, we could start and end with the fact that women are judge, jury, and executioner
00:44:37.580
And so if a man and a woman conceive a child, for the first nine months of that child's existence,
00:44:44.380
the woman has absolute authority to kill that child if she wants, even if the man protests.
00:44:51.460
And there are many cases like that, which are unspeakably horrific and tragic.
00:44:57.880
Now, of course, there are plenty of cases on the other side where you have scumbag, cowardly
00:45:01.260
men pressuring and trying to force black male women into getting abortions.
00:45:10.180
Jeffrey Toobin over at CNN is an example of that kind of guy.
00:45:15.920
A lot of cases on the reverse, where you've got men pleading with their girlfriends, less
00:45:21.760
often wives, not to abort the children, and they do it anyway.
00:45:28.160
And that's a case of, and this is the way the law is set up, total helplessness on the
00:45:35.840
So you give some other good examples, but I think that right there shows the way the
00:45:40.220
This coming Tuesday, October 12th, we're making Backstage Extra Exciting.
00:45:44.100
Instead of the usual Daily Wire studio, we'll be live streaming our conversation on stage
00:45:48.500
at the famous Ryman Auditorium right here in Nashville, doing what we do best, which is

Today for our daily cancellation, we return to the murky swamps of TikTok, ready to cancel
00:46:56.080
And right away, a good candidate presents itself.
00:46:57.680
Here's a feminist woman named Christy, who looks exactly like every other feminist woman
00:47:01.780
named Christy that you've ever met, if you've had the misfortune of meeting more than one.
00:47:05.720
Just as a quick introduction to Christy, this is not the video we're going to focus on today,
00:47:09.900
but I just want to play one of her most recent contributions.
00:47:22.380
I make it my personal business to have complex conversations about race with any and all
00:47:32.840
Complex conversations about race with all white people that you encounter.
00:47:40.720
I'd like to have a complex conversation about race with you.
00:47:43.380
Maybe you go door to door like a Jehovah's Witness, except significantly more annoying.
00:47:47.220
I shudder at the thought of being stuck next to her on an airplane for three hours.
00:47:51.060
Just one more reason to choose a seat in the exit row, I guess.
00:47:56.580
The exit would be for her, not for me in that case.
00:47:59.020
Anyway, that gives you an idea of where she's coming from.
00:48:03.540
I'm here to double down on the video that made me go viral.
00:48:11.620
And by that I mean most cis-heteronormative men.
00:48:14.280
There's a reason we say we live in a rape culture.
00:48:20.100
And the way rape is portrayed and glamorized in movies and media misrepresents what most
00:48:26.620
Let's just look at the updated definition of rape so that everybody's clear.
00:48:29.660
The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus or any other body part or object
00:48:35.100
or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person without the consent of the victim.
00:48:39.980
Are you buying somebody drinks with the goal of getting them drunk enough so that they can't consent?
00:48:49.540
Guilting or manipulating someone into having sex with you?
00:48:54.180
Dating coaches and pickup artists have normalized this kind of behavior.
00:48:57.640
And if you engage in any of those things, you'll be known as a rapist.
00:49:09.100
uh, yeah, I'm a shrill feminist, just so go ahead and do.
00:49:13.880
Um, now you notice how she lets gay men off the hook at the start.
00:49:16.520
Because apparently male-on-male rape doesn't exist.
00:49:18.940
This will come as welcome news to everybody who's going to prison.
00:49:22.060
From there, she gives us a definition of rape that few could argue with.
00:49:25.220
Rape is having sex with someone, performing any kind of sexual act with them,
00:49:31.980
But then she performs the trick that has become so common in our culture,
00:49:34.780
a trick that has led to lots of confusion and to very many ruined lives,
00:49:41.920
You'll notice that she doesn't pull out the old Websters to tell us what the word
00:49:48.380
Because if she had, we'd see that consent means agreement to do something.
00:49:55.820
If you were forced to do it, you didn't consent.
00:50:00.120
She provides the example of a man, it's always a man, as if women don't do this,
00:50:04.240
a man getting a woman drunk in order to have sex with her.
00:50:06.540
Now, if someone is trying to intoxicate another person
00:50:09.520
with the explicit goal of taking advantage of them,
00:50:13.020
and the other person has no sober intention of engaging in any kind of sexual activity,
00:50:16.440
then, yes, that could be a form of removing consent.
00:50:20.540
But the problem is that in most cases where alcohol is involved,
00:50:25.120
you have two people in a sexually charged environment,
00:50:27.960
both getting drunk, and then both having sex while drunk.
00:50:35.960
Well, the school rape tribunals always put the blame on men.
00:50:38.640
In fact, I'm not aware of a single case where a woman has been charged
00:50:42.260
or even accused of rape after a mutual drunk sex.
00:50:50.000
From there, she makes rape into an even more obscure concept
00:50:52.360
by claiming that men, again, always men, because women never do this,
00:50:56.960
men who guilt, manipulate, or coerce women into sex are rapists.
00:50:59.880
Now, it's possible to imagine forms of coerced sex that would count as rape.
00:51:04.500
If you tell a woman to have sex with you or you'll kill her,
00:51:10.900
But she says that most straight men are rapists,
00:51:20.920
Essentially, what feminists mean when they say this
00:51:29.800
which is another way of saying that a man who tries to initiate sex,
00:51:33.580
even with his own wife, potentially, is a rapist.
00:51:37.080
You would have to mean that if you're trying to support the claim
00:51:39.800
that most men are rapists, which is obviously ludicrous.
00:51:43.420
And worse than ludicrous, as this mentality has, again,
00:51:46.860
ruined the lives of many men by providing women with the framework
00:51:49.940
to accuse their consensual sexual partners of rape after the fact.
00:51:54.420
The word consent means what it means in reality.
00:51:58.520
If you agree to do it, if you're not forced, but you agreed,
00:52:07.840
Even if you did it and you felt bad about it later.
00:52:10.540
Even if you did it, but only because you thought
00:52:12.320
it was the only way to secure promotion at work.
00:52:19.420
You have participated of your own free will and volition.
00:52:32.860
In fact, it's possible and it happens all the time.
00:52:37.540
At the end of the video, she says via text on the screen there
00:52:40.280
that feeling entitled to someone's body for sexual pleasure
00:52:49.980
It's also the mentality that many people in our culture,
00:52:57.280
out of the loving and committed confines of marriage,
00:53:02.120
performed by individuals for their own gratification.
00:53:31.780
we have no moral language to govern sex except consent.
00:54:28.700
simply as basically a glorified masturbatory aid
00:54:53.300
the concept that sex is supposed to be loving and committed,
00:55:09.620
And that's how I'm going to be able to condemn them.
00:55:55.200
