The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 813 - Why My Kids Aren’t Getting The COVID Vaccine

00:00:00.000 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 0.81

00:00:27.560 claims that almost all men are rapists. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.680 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 0.94

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 0.58

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.

00:10:11.520 Now let's get to our five headlines.

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? 0.87

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

00:11:22.360 GenuCell.com. All right, let's start with this from the Daily Wire. This is an incredible story.

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 0.65

00:14:51.360 you, you keep it within a, as long as it's inter gang violence, you don't involve anybody else. 0.98

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 0.93

00:15:17.760 to see that this is, you're, you're ushering in total chaos is what you're doing here. 0.95

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 1.00

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 0.97

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 0.98

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

00:23:36.120 to get involved? That's the best you could do.

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.

00:24:35.220 Okay. That's, that's what the FBI is saying.

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.

00:30:12.320 All kinds of violence.

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.

00:30:37.880 I agree that that's a, that's a big problem.

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.

00:30:54.740 Could be an argument for that.

00:30:57.540 In fact, it boggles my mind that we hear that, you know, there's a violence epidemic in the schools.

00:31:03.900 There's a bullying 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.

00:31:22.480 But there's bullying, there's violence.

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

00:31:34.500 in order for them to be properly socialized.

00:31:38.700 You got to send them into this environment where bullying and violence is out of control

00:31:43.920 and an epidemic according to them.

00:31:47.460 But you have to send your kids into that so that they can be properly socialized.

00:31:52.040 You wouldn't want to keep them home with you.

00:31:55.240 Then they're going to be weird.

00:31:56.420 Then they're going to be socially awkward.

00:31:58.160 As opposed to the public school system

00:32:02.260 where you got kids shooting each other, getting into fights every day.

00:32:09.080 A bullying epidemic, again, according to you.

00:32:13.460 That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

00:32:15.420 Yet another reason to keep your kids home and homeschool them. 0.99

00:32:18.020 All right.

00:32:19.160 Here's something from Justin Trudeau that I have to just read because I'm

00:32:22.780 I am sincerely confused by it.

00:32:25.420 Justin Trudeau tweeted this out yesterday.

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. 0.77

00:32:41.000 We must continue to work together, raise awareness, and advocate

00:32:44.260 to end this ongoing national tragedy.

00:32:47.020 Hashtag sisters in spirit.

00:32:49.080 Now, I'm honestly curious.

00:32:52.180 Did his cat walk across the keyboard?

00:32:55.700 Did he have some kind of mini seizure or spasms in the middle of typing?

00:33:00.260 2SLGBTQQIA plus? 0.98

00:33:04.440 What even is that?

00:33:05.600 I actually, I was looking that up out of curiosity because I, I, I, is that, is that,

00:33:11.820 is that what the acronym is now?

00:33:13.260 2SL.

00:33:13.660 And apparently that means, okay, 2SLGBTQQIA plus, that is two spirit, okay, two spirit, 0.77

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.

00:33:30.120 So now we're taking two spirits.

00:33:34.400 We're not even, we're not only including two spirit, but they're getting, um,

00:33:38.960 they're getting first place now.

00:33:40.320 They're getting pride of place right at the very beginning, two spirit.

00:33:45.640 That's very good.

00:33:47.560 For the, um, 12 or 13 people in the world to identify as two spirit, whatever the hell 0.90

00:33:54.020 that's supposed to mean.

00:33:55.520 It's good that we put them right there at the, at the front of the acronym.

00:33:59.840 Thanks for that, Justice Trudeau.

00:34:01.060 Uh, next we got Billie Eilish.

00:34:04.060 She was, uh, performing at a concert in Texas and decided to speak out against the Texas

00:34:09.680 abortion law.

00:34:10.580 And, uh, Hey, I mean, maybe she makes, uh, a compelling case, you know, Billie Eilish. 0.97

00:34:16.280 She's an eloquent and intelligent person.

00:34:17.960 So let's, let's just hear what she has to say about the Texas abortion law. 1.00

00:34:20.820 She may surprise us.

00:34:21.660 Hey, I am so sick and tired of old men. 1.00

00:34:39.980 Men in general, sorry, but old ones, especially. 1.00

00:34:45.580 And I have to be honest with you that when they made the law, I almost

00:35:15.460 didn't want to do this show.

00:35:16.880 All right.

00:35:17.240 Okay. 0.99

00:35:17.600 Shut up, Billie. 1.00

00:35:18.700 Because I wanted to punish this. 0.99

00:35:20.480 So I, I, I wanted to give her a chance.

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,

00:35:34.920 about her body and about women's.

00:35:37.480 No one's talking about your body, Billie Eilish.

00:35:39.500 No one cares.

00:35:41.580 No one is talking about that.

00:35:43.080 Who, who, who in the pro-life movement is talking about women's bodies?

00:35:50.760 Who, who, where is this happening?

00:35:52.980 Who are you referring to?

00:35:56.700 All we are doing, all we ever talk about when it comes to this issue, our focus as pro-lifers

00:36:03.180 is on the child.

00:36:04.940 That's our point.

00:36:05.840 That's what we're trying to defend is the body and the dignity and the moral worth of

00:36:13.480 that child.

00:36:17.360 All we ever hear from the other side, stop talking about our bodies, our bodies.

00:36:24.980 No, you stop talking about them.

00:36:26.340 We don't care.

00:36:28.320 That's not what we're talking about.

00:36:32.660 You know, when you have one side of the debate that feels the need to const, all they ever

00:36:36.960 do is lie.

00:36:39.360 They will simply never engage honestly on this issue.

00:36:45.160 They, they won't do it.

00:36:46.300 They never have.

00:36:48.400 Never.

00:36:48.800 When you've got one side of the debate that always lies about what the other side is actually

00:36:55.880 saying.

00:36:58.760 Well, that should, that should tell you who's on, who's on the right and wrong side of this

00:37:01.560 thing.

00:37:02.020 All right.

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

00:37:13.460 earth.

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

00:37:26.120 of space X Falcon nine rocket.

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.

00:37:39.800 Uh, Diddy moon is more than 500 feet wide.

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.

00:37:54.260 And so that's the plan.

00:37:55.680 Anyway, there are these two, two big asteroids that potentially could threaten to cause devastating,

00:38:02.000 uh, damage to earth.

00:38:03.600 And who knows, maybe wipe out all life on earth.

00:38:05.800 I'm not sure.

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

00:38:26.120 after all.

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

00:38:42.380 into us.

00:38:42.880 Now, both asteroids are going to hit us at the same time, which you'd have to admit would

00:38:46.940 be pretty hilarious.

00:38:48.400 If that were to happen, the means before we all perish in a ball of fire, the means would

00:38:54.560 just be tremendous.

00:38:56.100 Well, with cryptocurrency rapidly increasing in popularity, now is a great time to tell

00:40:05.500 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.

00:40:18.960 We're the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:40:24.060 Let's see.

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

00:40:35.320 this show as well.

00:40:36.160 You want this? 0.99

00:40:37.660 My whole home life is now about this damn dog, and now you want the show to be about 1.00

00:40:42.040 the dog too. 1.00

00:40:44.020 Is that what you want?

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

00:40:58.000 of their support for BLM.

00:40:59.220 In addition to virtue signaling on the field with phrases such as end racism, the league

00:41:03.540 has apparently given millions to BLM.

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.

00:41:17.160 I have many ways of rationalizing it.

00:41:21.500 I've given up most professional sports.

00:41:23.160 I used to be an NBA fan up until recently, but with this most recent round of BLM virtue 1.00

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.

00:41:42.260 I don't watch it anymore.

00:41:43.040 I gave that up.

00:41:43.680 But the NFL, I do try to rationalize it in that, number one, it's not nearly as bad as

00:41:50.200 some of the, especially the NBA.

00:41:54.700 There are plenty of NFL players.

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,

00:42:07.020 religious people.

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. 0.89

00:42:19.580 And you hear even Christians mocking that, as if it's silly.

00:42:23.380 I think it's fantastic.

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.

00:42:29.920 Yeah, you have a big game, give glory to God.

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

00:42:43.300 a difference in the culture.

00:42:44.960 So, you know, I balance that, but it is rationalization, I suppose.

00:42:49.560 I admit that.

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

00:42:57.900 from me.

00:42:58.160 It's something that my family enjoys.

00:43:02.460 Is it a rationalization?

00:43:03.520 Again, I admit that it is.

00:43:06.240 Ted Kaczynski, apparently a fan of the show, says, when grown-ass adults refer to a grown-ass

00:43:12.660 man as daddy who is not their real father.

00:43:16.520 What's your point, Ted?

00:43:17.980 I didn't hear you in the 90s making this criticism of Puff Daddy fans, so I think some hypocrisy

00:43:25.460 on your part.

00:43:27.480 Misinformation says, tell the school board people that activists harassing them at their

00:43:31.140 house, et cetera, is just part of the process.

00:43:34.700 That is part of the process, and, you know, apparently even following them into a bathroom

00:43:38.380 and filming them.

00:43:39.360 According to Joe Biden, part of the process.

00:43:44.960 And Mo Word says, to the PA legislator guy, there are plenty of laws that are not in men's

00:43:51.580 favor.

00:43:52.120 Look at family law and court rulings.

00:43:53.940 Men have to fight for equal custody, pay, alimony, and child support. 0.77

00:43:59.680 Well, right.

00:44:00.280 I mean, when it comes to the law, there's no question that the sexes are unequal and are 1.00

00:44:08.040 treated unequally before the law, but that women are the beneficiaries in that case. 0.66

00:44:14.380 Now, some people are more equal than others, and when it comes to the law, women are the 1.00

00:44:18.180 more equal, in the more equal category.

00:44:21.560 Women have, because of their sex, they have legal rights that men don't have. 1.00

00:44:29.080 And let's just, we could start and end with the fact that women are judge, jury, and executioner 1.00

00:44:36.240 over their own kids.

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. 1.00

00:44:51.460 And there are many cases like that, which are unspeakably horrific and tragic.

00:44:55.840 I hear from men like this. 1.00

00:44:57.880 Now, of course, there are plenty of cases on the other side where you have scumbag, cowardly 1.00

00:45:01.260 men pressuring and trying to force black male women into getting abortions. 1.00

00:45:05.840 That obviously happens. 0.94

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. 1.00

00:45:28.160 And that's a case of, and this is the way the law is set up, total helplessness on the

00:45:33.740 part of men.

00:45:35.840 So you give some other good examples, but I think that right there shows the way the

00:45:39.600 law really works.

00:45:40.220 This coming Tuesday, October 12th, we're making Backstage Extra Exciting.

00:46:43.960 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:46:49.800 Today for our daily cancellation, we return to the murky swamps of TikTok, ready to cancel

00:46:54.980 everything in our path.

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 1.00

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.

00:47:13.800 Here she is on the issue of race.

00:47:16.060 Listen.

00:47:17.640 In honor of this, white people, stitch this. 1.00

00:47:21.560 How many white people?

00:47:22.380 I make it my personal business to have complex conversations about race with any and all

00:47:29.420 white people that I encounter.

00:47:32.840 Complex conversations about race with all white people that you encounter. 0.90

00:47:36.900 How does that work?

00:47:38.180 Are you stopping people on the street?

00:47:40.160 Excuse me, sir.

00:47:40.720 I'd like to have a complex conversation about race with you. 0.83

00:47:43.380 Maybe you go door to door like a Jehovah's Witness, except significantly more annoying. 1.00

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. 0.67

00:48:02.340 Now let's get to the main event.

00:48:03.540 I'm here to double down on the video that made me go viral. 0.99

00:48:09.060 Most men are rapists. 0.99

00:48:11.620 And by that I mean most cis-heteronormative men. 1.00

00:48:14.280 There's a reason we say we live in a rape culture. 1.00

00:48:17.080 Most rapes go unreported, some even unknown.

00:48:20.100 And the way rape is portrayed and glamorized in movies and media misrepresents what most

00:48:24.960 rape actually looks like. 1.00

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 0.96

00:48:35.100 or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person without the consent of the victim. 0.88

00:48:39.980 Are you buying somebody drinks with the goal of getting them drunk enough so that they can't consent? 1.00

00:48:44.180 Rapist. 0.98

00:48:45.940 Coercing somebody into sex? 1.00

00:48:48.420 Rapist. 1.00

00:48:49.540 Guilting or manipulating someone into having sex with you? 1.00

00:48:53.020 Rapist. 0.99

00:48:54.180 Dating coaches and pickup artists have normalized this kind of behavior. 1.00

00:48:57.640 And if you engage in any of those things, you'll be known as a rapist.

00:49:01.200 Is your just-the-tip joke funny now? 0.91

00:49:05.160 Always with the hair.

00:49:06.300 They all have the same hair.

00:49:07.260 Do they go to, like, the hair salon and say,

00:49:09.100 uh, yeah, I'm a shrill feminist, just so go ahead and do. 1.00

00:49:11.900 Do what you do. 0.98

00:49:13.880 Um, now you notice how she lets gay men off the hook at the start. 1.00

00:49:16.520 Because apparently male-on-male rape doesn't exist. 1.00

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, 0.95

00:49:28.580 um, without their consent. 0.96

00:49:30.000 Yeah, that's obviously what the term means.

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,

00:49:39.140 by manipulating the word consent.

00:49:41.920 You'll notice that she doesn't pull out the old Websters to tell us what the word

00:49:44.980 consent means.

00:49:46.560 She does that with rape but not consent. 1.00

00:49:48.380 Because if she had, we'd see that consent means agreement to do something.

00:49:52.820 That's it.

00:49:53.620 If you agree to do it, you consented.

00:49:55.820 If you were forced to do it, you didn't consent.

00:49:58.600 So it's that simple.

00:50:00.120 She provides the example of a man, it's always a man, as if women don't do this, 1.00

00:50:04.240 a man getting a woman drunk in order to have sex with her. 0.92

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,

00:50:23.160 especially somewhere like a college campus,

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.

00:50:31.940 Who's the rapist there? 0.90

00:50:32.940 Both of them? 0.98

00:50:33.920 Are they raping each other? 0.98

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.

00:50:47.240 The onus always falls on men. 0.77

00:50:50.000 From there, she makes rape into an even more obscure concept 0.81

00:50:52.360 by claiming that men, again, always men, because women never do this, 0.97

00:50:56.960 men who guilt, manipulate, or coerce women into sex are rapists. 0.98

00:50:59.880 Now, it's possible to imagine forms of coerced sex that would count as rape. 1.00

00:51:04.500 If you tell a woman to have sex with you or you'll kill her, 0.99

00:51:07.080 that's coercion, and it's obviously rape. 1.00

00:51:10.900 But she says that most straight men are rapists, 0.97

00:51:14.820 which means she's talking about far less dire 0.98

00:51:17.140 and more generalized versions of manipulation.

00:51:20.920 Essentially, what feminists mean when they say this 1.00

00:51:22.800 is that trying to convince a woman to have sex 0.99

00:51:25.440 using any form of persuasion at all is rape,

00:51:29.800 which is another way of saying that a man who tries to initiate sex, 0.95

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 1.00

00:51:39.800 that most men are rapists, which is obviously ludicrous. 0.98

00:51:43.420 And worse than ludicrous, as this mentality has, again, 0.97

00:51:46.860 ruined the lives of many men by providing women with the framework 0.85

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,

00:52:03.040 then you've consented.

00:52:05.120 Even if you did it, but you didn't want to.

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.

00:52:14.480 In all of those cases, in any case like them,

00:52:17.700 you have agreed.

00:52:19.420 You have participated of your own free will and volition.

00:52:21.840 You were not raped.

00:52:23.480 But even if you weren't raped,

00:52:25.440 does that mean that you weren't used?

00:52:28.080 Is it possible for someone to be sexually used

00:52:30.700 and yet not raped? 0.92

00:52:32.440 Yes.

00:52:32.860 In fact, it's possible and it happens all the time.

00:52:35.460 And it's bad, but it's not rape.

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 0.83

00:52:43.380 is a rapist mentality.

00:52:45.320 Now, it isn't necessarily, 0.96

00:52:47.360 but it is a perverse and degraded mentality.

00:52:49.980 It's also the mentality that many people in our culture,

00:52:53.480 men and women, share.

00:52:55.380 The moment that we ripped the sexual act

00:52:57.280 out of the loving and committed confines of marriage,

00:52:59.720 we turned it into a purely selfish act

00:53:02.120 performed by individuals for their own gratification.

00:53:05.640 Everyone involved in hookup culture

00:53:07.460 is using someone's body for sexual pleasure. 0.94

00:53:10.680 Everyone who looks at porn is doing that. 0.84

00:53:12.540 Most of the people, men and women,

00:53:16.840 on dating apps are pursuing exactly that.

00:53:21.260 Are they all rapists?

00:53:22.800 No.

00:53:23.260 I mean, some of them are,

00:53:24.200 by statistics would seem to indicate,

00:53:26.340 but most of them aren't.

00:53:28.240 The problem, as I've described in the past,

00:53:30.140 is that in our culture today,

00:53:31.780 we have no moral language to govern sex except consent.

00:53:36.780 That's the only moral guide that we have left

00:53:40.900 because we've thrown everything else out.

00:53:44.180 The idea that sex used to be loving,

00:53:46.380 used to be,

00:53:47.900 sex is supposed to be loving,

00:53:49.800 it's supposed to be committed.

00:53:52.200 All of that we've thrown out

00:53:53.500 and we've left only consent

00:53:56.300 as the one single moral rule left

00:54:00.060 to govern the sexual act.

00:54:01.360 And a lot of people,

00:54:04.620 like the person in the video there,

00:54:06.940 have, without realizing it,

00:54:09.080 noticed the problem.

00:54:11.520 And they've looked around

00:54:13.480 and they've seen that,

00:54:14.440 wow, I mean, gee,

00:54:15.500 so often,

00:54:17.120 sex in our culture today is,

00:54:18.880 it's degraded, 0.98

00:54:20.160 it seems immoral, amoral,

00:54:23.140 people are just using each other as objects.

00:54:26.860 I mean, to use someone else 0.95

00:54:28.700 simply as basically a glorified masturbatory aid 0.96

00:54:32.800 as just this tool for you to get your thrills. 0.93

00:54:38.180 That's a terrible thing.

00:54:39.240 It's dehumanizing.

00:54:42.040 And it is.

00:54:45.260 But because they're committed to this idea

00:54:47.440 that we all need to be libertines,

00:54:52.600 that we can't, you know,

00:54:53.300 the concept that sex is supposed to be loving and committed,

00:54:56.440 that's patriarchal,

00:54:57.460 that's religious.

00:54:58.820 They're committed to that.

00:55:00.420 So they've thrown that out.

00:55:02.700 All they have left is consent.

00:55:04.580 And so they decide that,

00:55:05.900 oh, okay, well, all these cases here,

00:55:07.320 these are all violations of consent.

00:55:09.620 And that's how I'm going to be able to condemn them.

00:55:13.540 They're not.

00:55:15.580 But in many cases,

00:55:16.740 they are still immoral.

00:55:19.360 And that's why today,

00:55:21.200 even though,

00:55:21.680 even though she,

00:55:23.180 like so many feminists on this issue, 1.00

00:55:24.840 they're maybe closer to the point,

00:55:28.160 they're closer to the truth than they realize,

00:55:30.960 still, I have to say that today,

00:55:33.440 she is canceled. 0.58

00:55:34.940 And we'll leave it there.

00:55:35.900 Thanks for watching.
