Today on the Matt Walsh Show, desperate Democrats are warning that voting Republican means the death of democracy. But the real threat to our democracy, and in fact to our whole civilization, comes from somewhere else. It comes in part from the protesters at my event last night who were ripping pages out of the Bible and eating them. Also, Ted Cruz bravely walks into the chicken coop and debates the squawking hens of the View. CNN tries to embarrass Trump voters in a focus group but it doesn t work out the way they intended. And Sandy Hook families now want to sue Alex Jones for trillions of dollars. And one of the most prominent Native American activists who just died recently wasn t actually Native American at all.
00:01:00.440Hallow can help you find some peace and hope rooted not in the government or its institutions, but in God.
00:01:06.020Hallow has over 5,000 audio-guided prayers, meditations, and peaceful Christian music, including the Rosary with Bishop Barron and Mark Wahlberg,
00:01:13.880the Bible in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz, prayers for kids so we aren't raising another generation of crazies, and many more.
00:01:20.740Hallow helps you build a daily routine and a habit of prayer.
00:01:23.480It helps me to pray, meditate, and sleep better.
00:01:38.280We are now officially two weeks from Election Day.
00:01:42.640There was some question over the summer about whether it would really materialize, but now it seems rather clear that the red tsunami is coming.
00:01:49.700We can see the signs, the water level dropping, the tide going out, the wave gathering strength as it heads to shore.
00:01:56.120And when I talk about signs, I don't mean the polls, which are all fake and made up and meaningless and who cares.
00:02:01.420I'm talking about the Democrats themselves, how they're behaving, what they're saying.
00:02:06.080They know what's on the horizon, and that's why they're becoming so desperate and frantic.
00:02:10.940So this weekend, we saw Joe Biden promising a bunch of TikTok stars that he would pay for their abortions and make sure that every state in the union is sexually mutilating children.
00:02:20.720This is what Democratic desperation looks like.
00:02:23.880This is what they do when they're scared.
00:02:26.560They double down on their infanticide and child castration advocacy.
00:02:30.960Also, even more indicative, the Democrats are warning that the coming Republican takeover of the House and possibly the Senate as well will spell the end of democracy in America.
00:02:43.540So Max Boot writes for The Washington Post, quote,
00:02:46.240If the current trends hold up, Republicans are likely to take over at least the House and quite possibly the Senate, too, along with many state offices.
00:02:53.460This is how democracies die, both at home and abroad.
00:02:57.260So democracies die when voters participate in them, says The Washington Post.
00:03:04.720So by voting, you are killing democracy.
00:03:08.740In a similar way, you might die of thirst by drinking fresh water or drown by sitting on dry land.
00:03:16.880MSNBC had a similar message last night.
00:03:20.540According to Joy Reid and her panel of guests who, all together with their brainpower combined, equal the IQ of a moderately intelligent meerkat, if voters, they say, vote for Republicans, they are essentially Nazis.
00:03:56.300And what scares me is that I'm not sure everybody minds.
00:04:01.180You know, I think there are some people who will just sit back and let it happen, thinking it won't be that bad.
00:04:07.340And that, to me, is almost more dangerous than the radicals.
00:04:10.480Well, I mean, I'm not calling, I'm not going to say that, you know, the GOP are Nazis at this point or whatever, but it certainly sounds very familiar to what happened in Germany.
00:05:03.580The only problem is that there, you know, you might not have an opportunity for any problems after that if you're not able to eat.
00:05:09.420But I am, I have to say, I am begging all of you, absolutely begging you, especially on the left, to learn about something in history other than the Nazis.
00:05:20.340Not that you actually know anything about the Nazis or how they rose to power, of course.
00:05:23.500Your understanding of your one single historical period of interest is dubious at best.
00:05:28.820But it's really time to branch out anyway.
00:07:36.780I'm told that one of the protesters literally vomited out of rage.
00:07:42.240An actual scene from The Exorcist played out.
00:07:45.440During my talk, they repeatedly pulled the fire alarm, which had the effect of knocking the AV system out,
00:07:51.180so I didn't have a working microphone for a large portion of the speech.
00:07:54.220Fortunately, I had a loud enough voice, so that was only a minor inconvenience.
00:07:58.020Back outside, they ranted and raved incoherently, often branching into grievances that have seemingly nothing to do with the subject of my film or my talk.
00:08:08.480And that includes in organizing spaces, because so much of the time, organizing spaces are dominated by white people who don't give BIPOC voices a chance to speak.
00:10:29.120But more importantly, it's about driving truth, even the most basic truths, especially the most basic truths, out of college campuses, out of all of our institutions, out of the public square, off of social media, off of all the platforms, and off into exile.
00:10:44.240Their goal is to build a society apart from truth, where they can make their own truth and live in their relativistic utopia, one in which everything revolves around the self and around the ego.
00:11:24.760But what lies underneath all of the hysteria is this war on truth.
00:11:29.240These kids have been conditioned to lash out blindly, violently, with rage and fury at any discussion of truth, at any individual who speaks truth.
00:11:38.360That's why I'm doing all this, why I'm in the fight.
00:11:42.580I see this as a fight for truth itself, and thus for civilization itself.
00:11:49.660To reiterate what I said at the end of my speech last night, if you'll forgive me plagiarizing myself, it really is as simple as this for me, that the truth matters.
00:11:58.680And it matters more than anything else.
00:12:03.040It matters more than your preferences, your feelings.
00:12:05.220It matters more than your self-identification.
00:12:06.940It matters more than your life, and more than mine.
00:12:10.700See, these leftist protesters, they claim that my speaking truth, or anyone else who speaks truth, that when we do that, we somehow put their lives at risk.
00:12:19.900Now, I don't think that's true, that we're not putting their lives at risk by speaking the truth.
00:12:24.380But even if it was, I would still speak it, and I would still encourage you to speak it.
00:14:24.300Eight months ago, I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria while I was inpatient here in UW-Madison.
00:14:34.380I looked into the research and, like, talked to doctors.
00:14:38.100And through my journey, I decided to explore medically transitioning, you know, because it's shown to decrease suicidal ideation and stuff like that.
00:14:49.720And since then, although I've had to deal with other issues such as transphobia and sexual assault, I've been more happier overall than I ever was before.
00:15:02.980And my question to you is, what specifically about medically transitioning do you think is so immoral that we should ignore the potential benefits?
00:15:12.980And why should I listen to you as somebody who's not a medical professional and has not experienced gender dysphoria?
00:15:22.860Dishonesty in the false promises that they make, which is that you can attain this image of maleness or femaleness, or that you can actually become, in some ways, the opposite, gender or sex, whatever words you want to use, which is a lie.
00:20:09.200There's nothing wrong with who you are.
00:20:10.900The, the trouble is, is when your mind is not able to reconcile with who you are or for whatever reason is not wanting to accept who you are.
00:20:23.040And so it's that struggle to accept that, that is the fundamental issue that we need to try to address.
00:20:31.040As I'm, as I'm always saying, it is very much on our side, which is the side of, of truth, is very much a message of actual self-acceptance.
00:20:47.460I want to play this clip for you because there's, there's so much that is contained in this clip.
00:20:52.700So much is, is shown, is learned perhaps in this.
00:20:56.800CNN held a focus group with Trump supporters in Pennsylvania.
00:20:59.820And the goal, obviously, because it's a focus group with Trump supporters and it's on CNN, the goal is to embarrass them and to show that they're a bunch of ignoramuses.
00:23:11.640There's Brian Sicknick, who had a stroke, had a medical, you know, had a, had a medical emergency after the fact.
00:23:17.500And then there were, there were, there were other police officers who, in the weeks and months afterwards, there were, I think it was two, who tragically committed suicide.
00:23:27.880And shamelessly, for, you know, years now, it is, the, the, the, the left has been, has been taking those suicides and connecting it to January 6th without any evidence whatsoever.
00:23:43.000So these people know all of that because, well, how do they know it?
00:23:49.420Because they, although they're participating in a CNN, uh, forum or a CNN, you know, focus group, they don't, they don't rely on CNN to get their information.
00:24:00.720Really, the sense, rather than being a showcase of the ignorance of Trump voters, which is what CNN was hoping for, it is a showcase of, of, among other things, CNN's own irrelevance.
00:24:11.740That these random voters that they picked up in, uh, Pittsburgh, they don't, they don't, they don't, they're not looking at CNN for, they don't care what CNN says.
00:24:50.500It's good for one, it's good for the other.
00:24:51.980Anybody who's harmed anybody, anybody who caused property destruction, that needs to be dealt with.
00:24:57.600But if you're there making your voice heard at the people's house, no less, that's, again, it's a fundamental constitutional right of an American citizen.
00:25:07.720And people should not be being held a political prisoner because of it.
00:25:48.740I'd love to see an hour-long focus group with this group of Americans here, these patriots, and a CNN anchor.
00:25:55.740You know what I actually want to see, though?
00:25:57.420What I would love to see is a group of Democrat voters, focus group, ask the same questions.
00:26:03.860Okay, get some Democrat voters, get some leftists into a focus group and start talking to them about January 6th.
00:26:09.460And I guarantee there's going to be a whole lot more misinformation being spread.
00:26:13.500You know, because these are people who actually rely on the corporate media for their information.
00:26:18.900And if we were to swap them out for leftists, we're going to hear all about how there was like a dozen police officers with a bloodbath, people lying dead all over the place.
00:27:11.760And these were mostly people who are on the right.
00:27:15.900And it's happened one time in like decades.
00:27:21.760Okay, as opposed to on the left when it's, I mean, we went through a season, we went through a period of a, we went through a season when it was happening on a daily basis.
00:28:16.600On the left, though, they can't, they still have not gotten around to actually denouncing or admitting that, that any, that the BLM did anything wrong by rioting.
00:28:27.140Those many dozens and hundreds of times that they did.
00:28:33.020Ted Cruz was able to get himself onto the view, which I have to admit to some, I'm a little bit, I'm a little bit sour about this.
00:28:43.580I'm a little, I'm a little jealous because this is my, this is my dream.
00:28:47.080This is my dream is to be on the view.
00:28:50.140Ted Cruz was, had a chance to be on there.
00:28:52.520And I will say that if, if it can't be me, you know, there is a, there's, there are, there's a selection of people on the right who, if it can't be me, I would love for it to be one of them.
00:29:03.360I think Ted Cruz is on that list because he handled this wonderfully.
00:29:07.400And there were a lot of great moments.
00:29:09.160Um, but I thought this about election denial was maybe the best moment of all, listen.
00:29:17.960Anytime a Republican is in front of a TV camera, try to say the election was fair and square and legitimate.
00:31:19.760But even so, it's hard to overstate how kind of overwhelming it can be to be in a totally hostile environment, even when you're surrounded by morons.
00:31:30.520In fact, like especially if you're surrounded by morons in some ways.
00:31:35.320And everyone is, you sit at a table, everyone's against you.
00:32:46.560A few days ago, Marco Rubio reported that a man who was canvassing for him wearing a Rubio shirt and a DeSantis hat was brutally assaulted by someone because of his political views.
00:33:24.320So they set out to find ways to either they ignore these stories or they find ways to explain it away or outright justify the violence being committed against conservatives.
00:33:35.260And that's what they're doing here as well.
00:33:36.380Alex DeLuca with the Miami New Times tweets, quote,
00:37:51.420It says, Sandy Hook families are asking a Connecticut judge to order Alex Jones to pay them trillions, trillions of dollars in damages,
00:37:59.860in addition to the $965 million that jurors ordered Jones to pay the families.
00:38:06.820The families claim that they are entitled to the money because they allege that Jones broke a state law that bans the sale of goods through the use of false statements.
00:38:15.700Bloomberg News reported that the families arrived at $2.75 trillion by taking the maximum penalty allowed under state law, $5,000,
00:38:24.880and multiplying it by 550 million social media views that Jones got on his social media accounts in the three years following the 2012 shooting.
00:38:35.960The family's lawyer said, Alex Jones perpetrates this attack for one reason, greed.
00:38:40.900Alex Jones will never treat them like real people because they're too valuable to him as targets.
00:38:59.640And I say this as someone who, from the beginning, I was extremely vocally opposed to the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories.
00:39:06.040The idea that it was staged or a hoax or whatever never made any sense.
00:39:09.580There was never any good evidence to support it.
00:39:11.800There was never any evidence at all, actually, good or not.
00:39:15.860So you don't have to explain any of that to me.
00:39:17.880Even so, what they're doing to Alex Jones here goes way, way, way beyond the Sandy Hook stuff.
00:39:25.760This is transparently an effort to destroy him because he's Alex Jones, because he said a whole lot of other things that are even more offensive to the powers that be.
00:39:43.080Because if he was really being bankrupted and to the tune now of they're hoping trillions of dollars, which, of course, he doesn't have anything close to trillions of dollars.
00:39:54.460Nobody on earth does, not even Elon Musk does.
00:39:58.280But if it was really about misinformation or defamation, if we lived in a country where misinforming your audience or defaming someone actually led to you being utterly financially ruined and you end up in the hole by $2.75 trillion,
00:40:18.240then CNN would be ruined and MSNBC would be ruined and the New York Times would be ruined and the Associated Press would be ruined and CBS News would be ruined, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:40:28.080All of these institutions would be held accountable to the same extent, in fact, to a much greater extent, if we were the kind of country that treated misinformation that harshly, a country that really had no tolerance for it at all.
00:40:41.600I mean, all the outlets just mentioned, along with every other major corporate media outlet, have deliberately lied over and over again to feed many false narratives, including a racial narrative that has led to city blocks being burned and people actually dying.
00:41:13.020How many cops have been defamed, lied about, had their lives totally destroyed, their families' lives destroyed?
00:41:20.400How many left-wing media personalities had to pay a billion dollars to Officer Darren Wilson for repeatedly claiming that he shot an unarmed kid while his hands were in the air begging, you know, begging for mercy?
00:41:33.040How many billion-dollar judgments were meted out there?
00:42:16.860I mean, hiding for the rest of his life.
00:42:19.900Any billion-dollar judgments for that?
00:42:21.380I mean, there's that infamous, now infamous photo from, I think it was CNN, and all of the CNN reporters and anchors are sitting around the table and they've got their hands up.
00:42:32.980And they've got their hands up, don't shoot thing.
00:45:17.440You know, it's a kid's book for young kids, many of whom can't read.
00:45:20.440And that book did, if I have to remind you again, extraordinarily well.
00:45:25.020Because I am, if you hadn't heard me mention it before in the past, now a best-selling LGBT children's author.
00:45:31.440So, Marco Curez says, my family and I drove 500 miles to be at Friday's rally.
00:45:37.140I'm happy to report that after the event, those Satanists regrouped in a nearby park and cried their eyes out and consoled each other after the trauma of seeing you live in person.
00:46:19.480And it would have been even before Fetterman lost his ability to speak coherent sentences, if he ever even really had that ability to begin with.
00:46:27.280But Oz has been on television for, say, whatever else you want about him.
00:47:11.000It's also, it's an interesting strategy, too, by the way, for him.
00:47:14.520He's doing one debate and he's doing it so close to the election.
00:47:18.720You'd think maybe if you're going to do only one, maybe schedule it for like a month ago.
00:47:23.300So when it goes horribly, then you've got time to try to change the subject.
00:47:28.240Or another way of looking at it is do it very close to the election so that if it goes horribly, there's not a lot of time for that damage to, you know,
00:47:35.600there's not a lot of time for all the clips and videos of you choking to circulate.
00:47:39.800Maybe that's the strategy they're going with.
00:47:43.680Jack says, I've always avoided getting involved in activism because all the ones I've ever met have been really self-righteous and annoying.
00:47:50.780But to be fair, they were all activists for leftist causes.
00:47:58.780Well, I'm glad to hear that you're on board.
00:48:00.440And what you're saying is exactly what we talked about yesterday.
00:48:04.600This is the, you know, why the right doesn't get involved in activism as much.
00:48:08.620They have this notion of it as this, like, silly thing and, you know, and we're suffering the consequences of that.
00:48:17.400We're suffering the consequences of thinking that we don't have time to be activists and we've got jobs and everything else and so we can't do it.
00:48:26.920And that is another disadvantage because we don't, you know, you've got to take off work if you want to go to a rally or protest in the middle of the day.
00:48:34.140But do we want to save the country or not?
00:48:37.300You know, are we just going to give up?
00:48:39.020And activism, it's not the be-all and end-all, but there cannot be any political or cultural strategy that doesn't include any activism at all.
00:49:10.760I'm hearing a lot of that kind of thing, which leads again to the coming red wave, I would think.
00:49:15.120And Jonathan says, Matt, as a Muslim, I support you and believe in your intentions.
00:49:20.760I think everyone in the DW is working on what all of our faiths preach, and that is why Muslims like you and Jordan Peterson and secretly Ben Shapiro.
00:49:30.460Yeah, there is, as I said yesterday, if you're a religious person, and I have to always stipulate, an adherent to an old religion,
00:49:42.000and the leftism itself is a religion, so I don't mean that.
00:49:46.860If you are a religious person in the other sense of the word, then you would think that there would be plenty of grounds for an alliance when it comes to these cultural issues.
00:50:00.960Jill says, Matt, you've been chiming in on airplane controversies, but you haven't mentioned the biggest one, window shade up or down.
00:50:07.940Please tell me you have the correct view, which is that it always stays down.
00:50:10.820I think we have talked about this before, and unfortunately, that means that you're banned, Jill, twice over.
00:50:17.140You're banned once for not being able to recall every single thing we've talked about, which tells me that you're not taking notes during the show, which is unacceptable.
00:50:23.460And you're banned again for having the absolutely deranged and indefensible position that the window shade should stay down.
00:50:29.800So I'm just going to say a few things to reiterate.
00:53:00.140The whole world needs to see and know about this.
00:53:02.540Well, now feels like a good time to read another email the Daily Wire was CC'd on in an ongoing ad segment called Breakup Letters.
00:53:12.360No, these are not Tom Brady and Giselle's hacked emails, but real messages from former Harry's Razor's customers who canceled their subscriptions and switched to Jeremy's.
00:53:21.260Today's letter is from a man writing to Harry's, quote,
00:53:24.340I've been a subscriber since 2015, but I'm canceling because I'm one of the knuckle-dragging savages that believes in traditional morality.
00:53:31.180I stuck with you all after the Gillette Razor snafu, but I'm leaving because of your treatment of Daily Wire.
00:53:39.400When it comes to all these woke virtue signaling companies, Delete My Account is the new lose my number and, frankly, the only acceptable response to a partner who hates you.
00:53:47.240So if you're a man who also believes in traditional masculine values like not wearing a dress or ritualistically declaring that boys can be girls and girls can be boys,
00:53:55.980it's past time that you ditch your woke razor and pick up a Jeremy's razor instead.
00:54:10.320And keep the breakup emails coming by copying us at reviews at jeremysrazors.com.
00:54:15.520Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:54:16.960Right after Will Smith assaulted Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars at the behest of his emotionally abusive wife, legions of apologists on social media came up with a brilliant excuse in the form of a whataboutism.
00:54:32.920They declared that criticism of Smith and his eventual banishment from the Academy was hypocritical, was even racist, because John Wayne assaulted a Native American woman on stage at the Oscars and never faced any backlash.
00:54:48.000Now that claim dates back to 1973 when a woman named Sashin Littlefeather took the stage in her buckskin dress and Indian getup to turn down the Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando.
00:54:59.260She explained that Brando couldn't accept the award for his performance in The Godfather because of a long list of grievances having to do with Hollywood's treatment of Native Americans.
00:55:07.840The complaints went beyond Hollywood, actually.
00:55:10.420It went all the way back to Wounded Knee in 1890.
00:55:12.440Now, why a massacre in South Dakota in the 19th century would prevent Marlon Brando from accepting an Oscar in Hollywood in the 20th century was never explained.
00:55:23.720The greater point, as far as the social media peanut gallery was concerned, is that John Wayne was never held accountable for his vicious assault of the Native American woman.
00:55:34.740Of course, John Wayne didn't assault anyone on stage.
00:55:37.320The story, which grows with each retelling, much like the eight-pound bass I caught last June, which was a five-and-a-half-pound bass as recently as last month, is that John Wayne had to be held back by security because he tried to rush the stage and assault the woman.
00:55:55.880Now they say it was an assault before, but he was trying to rush the stage.
00:55:58.640It turns out that the story about him trying to rush the stage is also an exaggeration of the original story, which was that John Wayne was fuming backstage and ranting about how he wanted to go up there and pull her off the stage, but that he never did.
00:56:12.380And yet that story, too, as far as we could tell, was also made up.
00:56:16.340There's no evidence that John Wayne did anything of note that night.
00:56:22.420This is an urban legend that started to gain steam back in the 70s and has taken on a new life in recent years, whenever the racial grievance peddlers can make use of it.
