0:00.0 | Today on The Matt Wall Show, Alejandro Casio Cortez says that it's more important to be morally right than factually right. |
0:07.0 | And this is obviously a stupid thing to say, but there's an important point about her comment. |
0:12.0 | A lot of people have missed. We're going to talk about that. |
0:14.0 | Also, the American Psychological Association says that masculinity is harmful. |
0:19.0 | And finally, why was Lil Wayne dressed like a kegler-elf on acid last night? |
0:24.0 | We got to discuss that as well today on The Matt Wall Show. |
0:31.0 | All right, let's talk about AOC, Alejandro Casio Cortez. |
0:35.0 | I just complained last week about people talking about her too much, conservatives talking about her too much. |
0:39.0 | And then here I am a few days later, like a hypocrite. |
0:44.0 | But I feel like it's not that hypocritical because I don't want to talk about her exactly. |
0:49.0 | There's just one thing that she said. One thing that's gotten a lot of attention, like everything else she says gets a lot of attention. |
0:56.0 | And it's also attracted a lot of criticism rightfully so. |
1:00.0 | But I think we're kind of missing an important point because there's something legitimately interesting and kind of instructive about what she said, but we're missing it. |
1:11.0 | We're missing it. So this was on 60 minutes, not long after she proposed that 70% tax, which would result in massive unemployment and destroy the economy. |
1:21.0 | But she said something, you know, on this during the interview, she said, I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually and semantically correct than about being morally right. |
1:36.0 | Okay, so she's complaining that people are more concerned about being factually right than about being morally right. |
1:44.0 | Obviously, as many people have pointed out, the number one problem here is that this is what we call a false dichotomy. It's a false choice. |
1:52.0 | She's making us choose between two things when actually we can have them both. |
1:57.0 | You can be factually correct and morally correct. Most of the time, the two things aren't even necessarily, you know, they aren't necessarily related. |
2:09.0 | So if I were to say that a triangle has three sides, I am factually correct. Am I morally correct? Well, it's a morally neutral thing to say. It's not, I don't think anyone would say that triangles are morally correct. |
2:25.0 | That's just what they are. It's just a matter of fact. But whenever you do or say, if you say something, if you make a point that is morally correct, then you are also going to be factually correct. |
2:41.0 | So I can say that abortion is morally wrong because you're killing a human being, which is morally wrong. I am both morally correct and factually correct. |
