    “Religious man tells his religious views to a religious university”

    There's a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate. Nothing wrong with his speech.
  • @brians9532
    Notice how they wont show the speach but make sure to let you know how to think.
  • @reaktorleak89
    Having kids and raising a family is the most important role. Without family life is harder and lonely.
  • @Sara-fv8hg
    Wait though he's not wrong. They are really twisting it for their narrative.
  • @jenusery4009
    Nothing wrong with raising a family and having children but there’s also nothing wrong with having a successful career as a single woman. Both are callings and you can have a great life doing either one. Feminism means having the right to choose which path you want!

    Speaking out is his right as an American. Cancel culture is insane.
  • @dmr6390
    Freedom of speech. You don’t have to like what someone said, but it is their right to say it. There are a lot more important news stories to cover: why doesn’t ABC news want to talk about the corruption between big business and government in this country, the endless wars, the rising costs of healthcare, education, housing, etc…. They choose stupid culture war topics like this
  • Wow a conservative Christian talking to a group of conservative Christians about being a conservative Christian- if u disagree with him, his msg clearly was not meant for u-
  • The audacity of him claiming that while his mom was a prestiged physicist!
  • The fact that people are this outraged is hilarious 😂 Thinking this guy should lose his job because of something he said that was completely HARMLESS
  • I stand with Harrison Butker. It doesn’t matter what profession a woman takes, once you quit that job they will forget you before you walk out the door, but being a wife and mother you will hold a place in their hearts for generations! As far as the reporters, I hear some discrimination against people who are Pro-families. Maybe you should take a look at your bias and prejudices and get those in line before you cast stones.
  • His networth is almost $5 million dollars, so of course his wife can stay home with the children and not have to work. According to the US Bureau of Labor, the average annual salary in Q4 of 2023 was $59,384. GFY

    There was no sexism or homophobia! Disagreeing with homosexuality is not homophobic.

    It's really fun watching two grown men get their panties in a twist on live tv.
  • @Sabin18946
    It costs $35k PER YEAR to go to school at Benedictine. There’s no way the average person could have children AND afford loan payments.

    Don’t judge people by their race, ethnicity, sex base them off of the content of their character- Martin Luther King Jr
  • @LastGunslinger1
    To everyone hating on him...go watch the full video where the audience is roaring with approval. He is a Catholic giving a Catholic speech at a Catholic University. It does not effect any of you in any way unless you go to Benedictine University. Stop being butthurt about a man trying to follow his faith and being proud of it.
