Brad and Hannah argue that arranged marriages are better than our current system of family courtships, which is a system where couples are assigned to one another and don't even have a choice in the matter. They also argue that women should be assigned to me as my wife.

00:00:00.100 Here we are once again, fighting a sea of tears for me to wade through.
00:00:03.680 This time, I thought we should change it up a bit, and instead of reviewing just the smug,
00:00:07.760 self-satisfied liberals who hate me, I thought we should see a pair of smug,
00:00:11.660 self-satisfied libertarians who hate me.
00:00:13.500 This is Brad and Hannah, as they're known to the five people who follow them and watch them.
00:00:18.460 They had a lot to say, so let's take a look.
00:00:20.080 Now, on the complete opposite end of this spectrum are arranged marriages.
00:00:23.840 Instead of a boundless, never-ending buffet of options, a young person in a culture that 1.00
00:00:28.120 practices arranged marriages will be assigned just one, and they don't even make the choice.
00:00:33.600 Their families just pair them up and say, here you go.
00:00:37.460 There's far less freedom and far less autonomy in a system of that sort, but it is without
00:00:41.720 a doubt superior to our system.
00:00:45.580 We would be happier.
00:00:47.620 Every person in the dating scene right now would be happier if they were just matched up 0.96
00:00:51.040 with someone against their will.
00:00:52.460 Against their will?
00:00:54.340 That's a new dating app, right?
00:00:56.140 Like, be matched to somebody against your will.
00:00:59.120 Here you go.
00:01:00.020 You're assigned this person.
00:01:01.240 Go make babies. 0.98
00:01:02.420 What the heck is wrong with them? 0.98
00:01:03.760 I don't know.
00:01:04.380 How is it conservative to be like, yeah, it would have a lot less freedom and individual
00:01:08.680 rights, but it'd be better?
00:01:10.880 That's like, that's not what conservatism in America has ever been about.
00:01:14.800 How bad is your marriage?
00:01:16.100 Is what I want to know.
00:01:17.100 That you think people should just be like, assign people like a lottery system, like, here
00:01:20.720 you go, and that would be just as good as whatever you found.
00:01:23.180 I, I, it's a little rapey, to be honest.
00:01:26.500 The vibes of like, yeah, women should be assigned to me as my wife. 1.00
00:01:31.140 No, they should not, sir.
00:01:33.680 They should not.
00:01:35.360 This seems like it comes from a very incel kind of mindset of like, I can't get women 1.00
00:01:39.140 on my own.
00:01:39.640 They never pick me.
00:01:40.540 He is married.
00:01:41.280 I know, but he speaks for that crowd.
00:01:43.680 Yeah, I guess.
00:01:44.900 Yeah.
00:01:46.200 Just a quick tip for any future libertarians react videos.
00:01:48.980 I would dial down the music, but also the shrillness and smugness by about eight or nine
00:01:53.600 points. 0.77
00:01:54.420 Because right now you're at a full 10 on the smarmy dork scale.
00:01:57.480 And it's, it's frankly a bit overwhelming.
00:01:59.660 As mentioned, libertarians in general have a serious problem with smugness, but here I
00:02:03.180 think we've met like the libertarian smug super spreaders.
00:02:06.960 These are our patient zeros of, of libertarian smugness.
00:02:10.160 They also have zero in the way of arguments, rebuttals, or clever comebacks.
00:02:14.700 They are of course being wildly dishonest about my argument.
00:02:17.560 I never said that arranged marriages are ideal.
00:02:19.340 I also never said that women should be assigned to me to be married.
00:02:22.280 I also never mentioned that women should be the only ones subjected to it.
00:02:26.520 I said that arranged marriages are better than our current approach to dating.
00:02:29.920 That's simply because our current approach couldn't possibly be any worse.
00:02:34.040 But is there at least some wisdom to the arranged marriage model? 0.95
00:02:38.140 Yes, there is.
00:02:38.820 And before you continue scoffing and gasping at the very idea that there could be anything
00:02:42.380 redeeming in it, consider that many cultures around the world, especially non-Western cultures,
00:02:46.640 have had and still have such a system. 1.00
00:02:49.100 Are they all just a bunch of idiot troglodytes, Brad and Hannah? 1.00
00:02:52.960 Are you sure you want to make that argument? 1.00
00:02:55.420 If that's the broad brush you want to use to paint billions of people and dozens of culture,
00:03:00.460 cultures across the world and throughout history, go for it, I guess.
00:03:04.240 Fits with the whole smug theme, I guess.
00:03:05.760 As for me, my preferred system is essentially the one we had in this country before the modern
00:03:10.980 dating scene began to form, and certainly before hookup culture and dating apps took hold.
00:03:15.280 I favor courtship, where the dating phase is understood by all parties concerned to be
00:03:20.220 the path to marriage.
00:03:22.000 Typically, in a courtship culture, families may not choose your spouse, but they are heavily
00:03:26.460 involved in selecting potential matches.
00:03:28.120 This is far superior to our current arrangement, where a legion of confused, lethargic, hapless
00:03:33.740 single people scroll endlessly through avatars on their phones, randomly selecting one after
00:03:38.840 another for fleeting temporary flings, where emotion, infatuation, and physical attraction
00:03:43.280 are the only driving forces, the only litmus test.
00:03:46.920 One time my dad tried to set me up with somebody, and I was aghast at who he thought I would like.
00:03:51.640 I was actually insulted.
00:03:52.540 I was like, Dad, you know I'm cute, right?
00:03:54.000 Like, you know I don't have a problem pulling men, right?
00:03:57.180 Like, no, absolutely not.
00:03:58.740 But at least that was a suggestion.
00:04:01.040 It wasn't a...
00:04:01.980 It was a suggestion that he would like me to be with, which was this super Christian
00:04:05.080 guy who was in his church, and who was slightly balding, but he thought it was a good option
00:04:08.980 for me, so he was a really good guy.
00:04:10.380 And I was like, yeah, I'm going to need a really good guy who's not balding.
00:04:13.760 And also who doesn't live in Anderson, South Carolina, because I'm pretty sure as hell not.
00:04:17.580 And those kinds of things.
00:04:19.220 So all I'm saying is, I would never...
00:04:20.780 I love my parents dearly, but I would never want them to pick my mate.
00:04:24.440 They would have no clue how to begin to pick who I would actually want.
00:04:27.540 Yeah.
00:04:27.940 No, it's just creepy, and it's really crazy, and I just can't relate to that one at all.
00:04:34.060 Can someone make a video attacking me that, like, puts some effort into it?
00:04:38.020 I'm looking for a good challenge here.
00:04:39.520 This is just...
00:04:40.840 So your dad set you up with someone who you admit is a really good guy, but he's losing
00:04:45.420 his hair, so you had no interest in him.
00:04:46.980 And you say that you're too attractive to be wasting your time with men who have the
00:04:50.780 audacity to possess physical flaws.
00:04:52.580 Now, look, I wouldn't usually say what I'm about to say, but speaking to the girl now,
00:04:58.120 you earlier felt comfortable commenting on my marriage, inaccurately, of course, so you've
00:05:01.820 opened yourself up to some harsh truths.
00:05:04.320 And here it is, cupcake.
00:05:05.880 You may be slightly overestimating yourself.
00:05:08.840 You seem to have erroneously given yourself a couple of extra points on the 1 to 10 physical
00:05:13.760 attractiveness scale, just a tip.
00:05:18.200 And even if you hadn't, if you're single and making your decisions based on hairlines,
00:05:22.880 you're either going to be lonely and miserable, as you are right now, for the rest of your 0.99
00:05:26.500 life, or eventually you're going to be frivolously marrying some scumbag who isn't a good guy, 1.00
00:05:31.060 but at least still has all his hair. 0.99
00:05:32.700 And a short time later, you're going to file for divorce and try to make yourself into 1.00
00:05:35.880 the victim of your failed marriage when it's your own vanity and stupidity that put you 1.00
00:05:40.120 in that position. 1.00
00:05:41.800 One of those two results are your destiny, unless you learn to look a little deeper in
00:05:46.920 your search for a mate.
00:05:48.320 The fact that you can't look deeper right now and that your father seems to have a better
00:05:51.680 view of who would be a good match for you than you do only proves my point.
00:05:56.680 You yourself specifically would be better off with an arranged marriage.
00:06:02.420 Now, I'm not sure I could say the same for the poor sap who ends up with you on the altar,
00:06:06.920 but you would actually be better off with that.
00:06:08.680 Yeah, usually I like to give credit to libertarians for having a little bit of intellect.
00:06:13.340 I mean, just really a little, little bit, but a little bit, not a lot.
00:06:16.600 You can often find a crumb of wisdom in there babbling every once in a while.
00:06:19.200 Unfortunately, Brad and Hannah disproved that point.
00:06:22.760 Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the
00:06:27.720 grassroots.
00:06:28.580 No group in America is better positioned than 40 Days for Life to fight this battle.
00:06:32.360 There are one million volunteers hold peaceful vigils outside of abortion facilities in a thousand
00:06:36.280 different cities, and in fact, most of their volunteers are located in Blue Stage, which
00:06:39.700 is good because that's where they're going to be most needed.
00:06:42.000 Now, of course, many former abortion facility directors say that these vigils can cause the
00:06:46.680 abortion no-show rate to increase to as high as 75%, which is a major blow to the abortion
00:06:52.120 business and also means that you're saving lives.
00:06:54.340 These peaceful vigils have even led to many closures of abortion facilities in America, nearly
00:06:58.580 half of which were in cities like San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle, hardly pro-life areas.
00:07:04.720 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots to end abortion.
00:07:08.800 Check out their locations, their podcasts, and their free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.
00:07:13.920 Again, for more information on 40 Days for Life, simply head to 40daysforlife.com.
00:07:18.620 So let's move on to Jamie Raines, who's a trans YouTuber who, let's just say, she has a whole 0.55
00:07:25.340 other set of problems, listen.
00:07:26.720 From the Daily Wire, which I think I've heard of, made by somebody or involving heavily somebody
00:07:32.660 called Matt Walsh.
00:07:36.720 What is a woman? 1.00
00:07:38.080 Immediately, is he wearing a sandwich board that says, what is a woman?
00:07:42.040 Okay.
00:07:43.120 Can you tell me that?
00:07:47.180 Well, you're at the Women's March, you must have some idea.
00:07:49.080 Please, if one person could tell me what a woman is. 0.99
00:07:51.300 You are not here for women. 1.00
00:07:53.040 We ask you to leave.
00:07:54.420 What is that?
00:07:55.340 What is that?
00:07:56.540 Oh, wow.
00:07:57.360 So a dude going to a woman's march and going up to women and asking them to define what
00:08:03.100 a woman is and probably acting like it's some big gotcha moment. 1.00
00:08:07.320 Yeah, that's interesting.
00:08:09.160 Oh, let's not forget the sandwich board.
00:08:11.140 I mean, what definition was he looking for?
00:08:13.020 One based off of genitals and reproductive organs?
00:08:16.160 That's a little bit very narrow and not exactly great to boil people down to their parts.
00:08:21.180 Okay, well, first of all, Jamie, how do you know I'm a dude?
00:08:24.680 I don't, I didn't tell you that.
00:08:26.280 That was not, that was not said.
00:08:28.600 So where'd you get that from?
00:08:30.100 And yeah, it is a gotcha moment.
00:08:32.960 In fact, if people are marching in a women's march and holding signs and chanting slogans, 0.98
00:08:37.380 claiming that women are under attack and being oppressed, and yet they have absolutely no
00:08:40.980 idea what a woman is and can't begin to define the term, then yes, that's a gotcha moment 1.00
00:08:45.260 as it reveals the inherent absurdity and incoherence of their worldview.
00:08:49.280 But it's not a gotcha moment that I engineer.
00:08:52.740 Okay, I'm not backing anybody into a corner.
00:08:55.040 All I did was walk up to them and ask them what the words they're using mean.
00:09:01.280 That's a fair question.
00:09:02.200 In fact, that's the fairest question you can ever ask anyone is when they're using words
00:09:07.100 to say, well, what do you mean by that?
00:09:08.660 How could that be an unfair question? 1.00
00:09:09.960 If it becomes a gotcha moment for you that only shows just how totally vapid and ridiculous 1.00
00:09:15.280 your ideology is. 0.96
00:09:16.400 As for what kind of definition I'm looking for, well, to start with, I'd like a definition,
00:09:20.940 some kind of definition.
00:09:22.620 Let's just get a definition on the table first, and then we can debate whether it's the right
00:09:26.740 or wrong one.
00:09:27.420 But you guys won't put any definition at all on the table.
00:09:31.000 You act like the word has no meaning at all, like it's just a bunch of arbitrary gibberish,
00:09:35.160 and yet you continue to use the word, and you expect us all to know what it means, or
00:09:42.820 to know what you mean when you use it.
00:09:44.140 So again, is it a gotcha?
00:09:45.720 Yes, it certainly is.
00:09:46.960 But I didn't get you.
00:09:48.740 You got yourself.
00:09:50.060 That medically transitioned to appear like a male.
00:09:53.400 I will never be a man.
00:09:56.980 Oh, no, no, no, do not agree with that.
00:10:01.480 99.99999999% of trans men will very strongly disagree with that statement.
00:10:08.020 I don't know if that person actually identifies as a trans man.
00:10:11.740 By the sounds of it, they are assigned female at birth and transitioned in the sense of taking
00:10:15.600 testosterone and living within society as a man.
00:10:18.620 But yes, sure, for the purposes of your seemingly transphobic documentary, go and find one of
00:10:25.000 the very, very few trans people who holds these kind of gender-critical, transphobic-y views on
00:10:32.540 trans people, and include them, ignore the many thousands and the vast, vast majority of trans 1.00
00:10:38.420 people who will very strongly disagree with this very, very small number of trans people who will
00:10:43.160 say things like this.
00:10:44.860 But who cares if Scott Nugent's views are in the minority among trans people?
00:10:49.740 Trans people are in the minority among the general population.
00:10:52.240 If you can dismiss Scott for being in the minority, then can't I dismiss you for being
00:10:59.120 in the minority?
00:11:00.740 Also, I did not ignore other trans people.
00:11:02.600 We talked to lots of trans people in the film, some of whom you've already seen in the
00:11:06.040 trailer, despite claiming that we ignored them.
00:11:08.000 We tried to speak to many more trans people, but they refused to speak to us.
00:11:11.160 And this is a pretty common phenomenon, right?
00:11:13.020 Trans activists claim that nobody will talk to us.
00:11:15.840 Oh, why don't you talk to us?
00:11:17.120 And yet, when I try to talk to them, they literally run away.
00:11:21.660 I mean, literally get up and run away in some cases.
00:11:23.580 I think I know why Jamie is really mad and it has nothing to do with my opinions.
00:11:26.900 Jamie has beard envy.
00:11:28.900 And look, it'll get you nowhere.
00:11:30.420 Some of us were born with this magnificent ability and others make YouTube videos about
00:11:34.560 it.
00:11:35.380 Also, you were born a woman.
00:11:37.260 So that might not help either.
00:11:38.980 We don't get to it.
00:11:49.760 Or you could hear it.
00:11:55.720 Here it is.
