Today on The Matt Walsh Show, a mass shooting at a gay club in Colorado means that we should
00:00:04.220
stop opposing the mutilation and sexualization of children. This is the leftist claim anyway.
00:00:09.280
How does it make any sense at all? It doesn't, but we'll talk about it. Also, the president of
00:00:13.180
FIFA attempts to defend his woke credentials, even though he decided to hold the World Cup
00:00:16.840
in Qatar. Trump is invited back to Twitter, but will he accept the invitation? Biden turns 80
00:00:21.800
years old in the White House, and a four-star college football recruit has his scholarship
00:00:25.320
withdrawn because he sang along to a rap song. How does that make any sense at all? Well,
00:00:30.560
it doesn't either. We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:45.840
The left loves mass shootings. This is an inescapable conclusion. I mean, not every person
00:01:52.500
on the left side of the political spectrum feels that way, certainly, but institutionally,
00:01:56.460
the media, the pundit class, government officials, activists, the leftists who are setting and enacting
00:02:02.440
the agenda, they all love mass shootings. I mean, that's why they don't hesitate to exploit them.
00:02:08.640
And exploitation starts immediately. There's no period of mourning, no space given for grief. There
00:02:14.540
certainly isn't a moment taken to let the dust settle and figure out what actually happened.
00:02:19.280
That's because it doesn't matter what actually happened. All that matters is what they can say
00:02:23.080
about what happened, what they can, you know, do with it, how they can use it. Of course, such a
00:02:28.820
cynical, even bloodthirsty attitude is no surprise coming from the same people who support, cheer on,
00:02:34.380
facilitate, fund the mass slaughter of unborn children. These are not people who value human life
00:02:39.940
or feel it all squeamish about standing atop the bodies of the dead to advance their political
00:02:44.980
and personal ambitions. And so we cannot be shocked at all by what we've seen in response
00:02:49.260
to the mass shooting at a gay club called Club Q in Colorado Springs over the weekend.
00:02:54.420
In total, five people were killed, 25 more were wounded, several critically so,
00:02:59.120
when a shooter now identified as 22-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich opened fire.
00:03:04.280
Now, at this point, there's still no information about Aldrich's motive. We haven't been given
00:03:09.680
any specific details about why he did what he did. But whatever he says to investigators,
00:03:15.880
he was taken alive. We already know the fundamental reason for the attack.
00:03:20.000
Aldrich is a violent, unstable sociopath. That's the reason. I mean, how was he able to carry out
00:03:26.980
this assault? Well, we know that too. He was able to do it because the court system, the DA and the FBI
00:03:32.560
allowed it. According to reports in many outlets, including Fox News, Aldrich was arrested just last year
00:03:38.180
for making bomb threats and refusing to surrender to police when they came. His mother had called
00:03:43.200
police, this was back in June of 2021, reporting that her son had made a bomb threat and was
00:03:47.760
threatening to, had made a bomb or said that he had made a homemade bomb and was threatening to
00:03:52.020
detonate it. When police arrived, they found Aldrich hiding in a house nearby where he refused to
00:03:57.220
surrender. When they finally managed to detain him, he was charged with two counts of felony menacing
00:04:03.400
and three counts of first degree kidnapping. And then guess what happened? The DA decided not to
00:04:12.220
pursue charges. Why? Well, it's hard to say. In fact, we can't say because the case has been sealed.
00:04:18.840
All the records are sealed. All we know is that this is yet another case of a violent, mentally ill
00:04:25.300
criminal. The fact that he threatened to blow up his own mother with a homemade bomb is, I think,
00:04:28.980
enough confirmation that he's crazy, who was known to law enforcement, known to the courts,
00:04:34.620
and yet for whatever reason was not sitting in a cage like he ought to have been. This is the same
00:04:41.500
pattern that appears and then reappears and appears again with nearly every violent criminal that makes
00:04:46.260
it into the national headlines and with a huge portion of the violent criminals that don't make
00:04:51.020
it into the national headlines. Untold thousands of lives could be saved if the people charged with
00:04:58.600
enforcing our laws simply enforced them. There's no new law that we need in Colorado Springs that would
00:05:06.520
have prevented the massacre. We already have laws against bomb threats, kidnapping. We simply needed
00:05:13.160
it to be enforced with the punishment that is already prescribed for it, and that would have been
00:05:18.700
enough, yet it wasn't done. This could be the conversation. It's an important conversation,
00:05:25.060
and it's not a wholly political conversation. The DA in Colorado Springs, as far as I know,
00:05:29.460
is a Republican. Now, yeah, it's often woke Democrat DAs who don't enforce their own laws,
00:05:34.000
but it's not only them, and this is not a problem that concerns only district attorneys. We have a crisis
00:05:39.080
across the board at every level of the most basic laws not being enforced consistently or not being
00:05:45.440
enforced at all. It's a problem that we should address, and we need to, and we could, but the
00:05:52.840
people guiding the public conversation have no interest in having that conversation. That's not
00:05:57.600
the conversation they want to have, because that conversation does not allow them to demonize
00:06:03.000
their most hated ideological opponents. In fact, on the left, if they had the conversation about not
00:06:10.280
enforcing laws, rather than demonizing people on the right, they'd be agreeing with us. They'd be saying,
00:06:15.560
oh, you know what, you were right about this all along, and they don't want to do that. And so instead,
00:06:20.220
the left has decided to blame conservatives for causing this last mass shooting through our alleged
00:06:26.740
anti-LGBT rhetoric. The Attorney General of Colorado, Phil Weiser, who should be answering questions
00:06:32.840
about why the laws against kidnapping aren't being enforced in his state, apparently, instead was on CNN
00:06:37.620
this morning casting the blame as far from himself as he possibly could. Listen.
00:06:43.200
Thank you so much, Attorney General, for joining us. The major question this morning has been about
00:06:47.740
motive here. Is the suspect speaking to investigators yet, and what have you learned about a potential
00:06:54.740
So the investigation's ongoing, and I think it's fair to say, based on the facts, it's very hard to
00:07:01.680
conceive of a situation where the motive wasn't generated by hate. This was a well-known nightclub
00:07:07.260
that individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, the LGBTQ community
00:07:12.840
knew was a safe place, was a place where people could be their authentic selves. And someone came
00:07:19.440
and essentially took all that away, because we know there's so much of this hate out there,
00:07:25.120
particularly towards individuals who are LGBTQ. And this is obviously something that is painful.
00:07:31.040
It was on Transgender Remembrance Day when it happened.
00:07:33.920
And so this is a call to all of us to look at that hate and ask, what do we do about it?
00:07:39.680
It's very hard to conceive of a situation where this incident doesn't enforce my preferred political
00:07:44.420
narrative. That's what he's saying. He says there's a lot of hate towards LGBT people.
00:07:49.580
But what is he talking about? I mean, what hate? We'll try to figure that out in a moment. But first,
00:07:54.340
here's Don Lemon inviting Weiser to continue with this line of propaganda, and he does.
00:08:00.000
Everyone we've spoken to there, members of the LGBTQ community, they have said that they believe
00:08:05.580
that there's, you know, where else could this point to? Again, we don't know the motive here.
00:08:09.740
But can you talk to us about, and you said that it was a safe haven, right, for members of the
00:08:14.320
LGBTQ community. The importance of our elected officials, our leaders on social media, the importance
00:08:22.320
of words, and using LGBT members of the LGBTQ plus community as sort of political pawns in politics?
00:08:35.540
Absolutely. We are living at a time of rising hate and rising demonization. And all of us in
00:08:42.680
leadership positions have to recognize that our words matter. We can and we must have a more
00:08:49.480
inclusive. We the people. That's a phrase that Justice Ginsburg used. The legitimate or
00:08:56.500
legitimization, I should say, of hating towards LGBTQ plus individuals has to stop.
00:09:03.740
Don Lemon worries that LGBT people are being used as pawns, and so he proceeds to use them as pawns.
00:09:11.040
I guess, you know, answering his own question. The attorney general, meanwhile, says that we're
00:09:14.620
living in a time of rising hate and demonization. And he's right. A good example of this demonization
00:09:20.060
is the fact that the attorney general of Colorado is blaming social conservatives for a mass shooting
00:09:25.600
carried out by a known violent criminal in his state. But this is the line that every prominent
00:09:31.400
person on the left has taken, and lots of people that are not as prominent as well. Joe Biden blamed
00:09:36.380
hate against LGBT people. Of course, GLAAD issued a statement blaming not just hateful rhetoric,
00:09:40.920
but also legislation. Their statement says, quote, you can draw a straight line from the false and
00:09:46.460
vile rhetoric about LGBTQ people spread by extremists and amplified across social media
00:09:51.180
to the nearly 300 anti-LGBTQ bills introduced this year to the dozens of attacks on our community like
00:09:57.920
this one. That this mass shooting took place on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance when we
00:10:02.980
honor the memory of the trans people killed the prior year deepens the trauma and tragedy for all in
00:10:07.640
the LGBTQ community. The media must stop spreading misinformation and elevate the truth that LGBT
00:10:12.760
people exist, belong, and want to live in peace and safety. So this became immediately the standard
00:10:19.360
talking point. And the left named specific villains also, people who are most responsible for the
00:10:25.760
shooting. People like, well, me, for instance. I am currently trending on Twitter because there are so
00:10:32.920
many tweets like this one from a guy named Joshua Hill. He says, quote, this club had a drag show
00:10:38.320
every Saturday. It's impossible to escape the horrifying conclusion that the escalating rhetoric
00:10:43.700
against drag queens promoted by people like Shia Reichich, who lives with TikTok, Matt Walsh,
00:10:48.660
and others created the environment where someone would do this. And then from Brianna Wu, she says,
00:10:54.600
this spike of hate crimes is very clearly on libs of TikTok, Matt Walsh, and the anti-trans
00:10:59.740
mainstream media that has smeared LGBT people as sexual deviance. And from trans activist Alejandra
00:11:06.780
Caraballo, he tweeted, quote, these people like libs of TikTok, Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson,
00:11:11.180
Christopher Rufo have spent all year stoking and inciting violence against LGBTQ people. When the
00:11:16.620
violence happens, they deny it, minimize it, and double down on the hate. They are sick, twisted
00:11:20.440
sociopaths. Another activist posted, this is where the hateful rhetoric that's allowed to spread on this
00:11:25.760
platform eventually leads. Shia Reichich, Matt Walsh, et cetera, will continue spewing bile,
00:11:31.080
trying to escalate words into physical violence. We keep us safe, et cetera, and so forth. Many more
00:11:38.380
where those came from. The message is clear. I must be silenced along with Shia Reichich and Christopher
00:11:44.740
Rufo and other conservatives because our rhetoric is causing shootings to happen. But what is our
00:11:53.140
rhetoric exactly? Have any of us ever called for violence? No, of course not. I mean, if we had,
00:11:59.540
then they'd have the clips of those and those would be circulating, but they don't because we never
00:12:03.360
said that. Are we running around attacking gay people as a group simply for existing? No, we're not
00:12:11.320
doing that. Again, if we had done that, then the clips would be out there. You could be sure of it.
00:12:16.200
We are in the left's crosshairs for two very specific reasons. Two reasons. We oppose the
00:12:23.300
medical transition of minors, and we don't think that children should be involved in drag shows.
00:12:30.900
That's it. That's the hateful rhetoric they're talking about. All of the alleged anti-LGBT laws that
00:12:38.480
GLAAD mentioned are exclusively focused on those two issues.
00:12:45.480
No children at drag shows, no children getting gender transitions, and then we can add in a third
00:12:50.840
one too is that we should not be destroying female sports by allowing males to play in it.
00:12:56.320
So those are all the laws when it comes to LGBT people are about that, which is another way of
00:13:02.760
saying that the laws don't focus on LGBT people at all. They don't put any restrictions on LGBT people.
00:13:11.440
Unless the left is saying that exposing kids to drag shows is like an elemental,
00:13:19.100
inextricable part of gay culture. Is that what they are? That's apparently what they are saying.
00:13:24.100
That's what they are claiming. I mean, what other conclusion could I draw if I say
00:13:29.700
kids shouldn't be at drag shows? And then you respond by saying, this is an attack on LGBT people.
00:13:35.520
I didn't even say anything about LGBT people. I don't care who's there. I don't care who's involved.
00:13:40.480
I don't care if they're gay, straight, whatever. Kids don't belong at burlesque shows.
00:13:49.120
So all of this, you know, this is focused on protecting children from castration,
00:13:55.260
mutilation, and sexualization. That's our dastardly agenda, which the left claims is somehow spawning
00:14:02.940
violence. In other words, they are using a mass shooting as a way to blackmail us into accepting
00:14:10.480
the abuse of children. People die. And as soon as the bodies hit the ground, these demons think,
00:14:18.900
yes, we can use this as ammo against conservatives who don't think children should be exposed to drag
00:14:23.680
shows. Just imagine that. People are dead, and that's the first thing these demented freaks think.
00:14:32.480
The first thing they think. Seeing the bodies hit the ground, the first thing they think is,
00:14:39.040
oh, this is great. Yeah, now we can silence people who are saying kids shouldn't be at drag shows.
00:14:44.200
Why do they do this? I mean, why do they play this game? Well, because they know that they can't defend
00:14:53.680
their positions otherwise. They want the kids at the drag shows. They want them in the sex change
00:14:58.580
clinics. But they dare not defend either stance out loud. They can't. So instead, they resort to the
00:15:06.940
worst kind of emotional manipulation, which is the only tool that these scumbags have in their toolbox
00:15:15.140
is emotional manipulation. That's all they've got. In this case, gleefully exploiting the deaths of the
00:15:22.220
very people they pretend to care about. But they don't care about them. They don't care about anyone
00:15:27.620
or anything except their demented ideological agenda. There is no tactic they won't resort to,
00:15:35.180
no depth to which they will not plunge in pursuit of that agenda, and to silence those who oppose it.
00:15:44.600
And I must tell them, once again, it's not going to work. Not in my case, it won't.
00:15:57.620
If you're listening to this show, odds are that you put a lot of stock into how you raise your kids.
00:16:05.040
You understand that your children look to you to define their values and their perspectives of
00:16:08.800
the world. That's why it's extremely important that you have a will in place. A will also determines
00:16:13.400
how your financial assets are dispersed as well as your personal property. It lays out your healthcare
00:16:17.760
power of attorney to ensure that your end-of-life decisions are carried out. If you're just starting
00:16:21.920
out and you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on an attorney, but you want to make sure
00:16:26.940
your savings, your belongings, and your family are all protected, you have to create a will at

Epic Will's complete package. That's epicwill.com, promo code Walsh. I have to say one other thing
00:16:58.720
here also, and I have to note this. I just am not persuaded by the hateful rhetoric hand-wringing,
00:17:08.620
especially as it comes from the same people who make death threats against me every day, okay?
00:17:15.300
I mean, I have in the past trended on Twitter because there were so many people doxing me
00:17:22.460
and threatening to kill me and my family. It happens in such volume and so often that it
00:17:30.200
results in me trending because of it. And yet I'm supposed to take you seriously when you pretend
00:17:37.460
to care about irresponsible rhetoric right after you just threatened to kill me and my family?
00:17:42.840
Right? So if you're wondering, if you're someone on the left and you happen to be watching this,
00:17:47.640
you're wondering, well, why isn't he taking this more seriously? That's why.
00:17:52.400
My children can't even walk down to check the mailbox alone because of the security threats.
00:17:59.400
So that's what I'm dealing with, okay? Now, I don't want you to think that that means that
00:18:04.260
we're huddling and cowering in fear. We're not. We're ready. And if anyone ever came looking to
00:18:11.120
make good on any of these threats, it will be the biggest mistake they ever make and the last
00:18:15.320
mistake they make in their pitiful, worthless lives. But I just, I am not, if you're looking
00:18:27.320
for someone to take you seriously on the hateful rhetoric stuff, I'm not the guy. You're talking
00:18:34.000
to the wrong guy. I can't stomach the nonsense. This, let's tone down the rhetoric.
00:18:42.120
When, you know, someone threatening to blow up my house is just another day at the office.
00:18:50.600
And, and, and why, again, I have to keep emphasizing why, like, what do they hate me so much for?
00:18:57.040
What did I do to them? Well, I'm trying to stop them from exposing themselves to children,
00:19:05.780
and I'm trying to stop them from castrating children. That's it. They are so devoted to
00:19:13.160
doing both of those things that they want you dead, and they want everyone you love dead if you try to
00:19:20.920
stop them. Sure. Tone down the rhetoric. Okay. You know, the World Cup kicked off this weekend,
00:19:29.720
I think. The World Cup is, that's the soccer thing. And I don't follow it because I'm more of a sports
00:19:35.340
fan personally, but, and I don't have anything against soccer. I think soccer is a fine hobby,
00:19:41.000
you know, for children. That is, if you want your children to become communists.
00:19:44.880
It's a great hobby for communist children, I suppose is what I'm saying. And I don't mean any
00:19:49.160
offense by that. And it's not even the communism of soccer that I have the biggest problem with.
00:19:54.000
It's really, it's, it's, it's mainly that soccer makes baseball seem thrilling by comparison,
00:19:58.860
which is very hard to do. But anyway, the World Cup did kick off. And we talked about last week,
00:20:04.180
there's controversy over the fact that the World Cup is in Qatar, and Qatar is not exactly known as,
00:20:09.840
like, the gay rights capital of the world. Okay. It's not, it's, it's not that precisely.
00:20:15.360
Um, homosexuality is effectively illegal there, or literally illegal. And, uh, this is in conflict
00:20:23.540
with FIFA. That's the World Cup's governing organization. It's in conflict with, with all
00:20:29.200
of the LGBT, uh, virtue signaling that they usually do. They, so they want to have their woke cake and
00:20:34.280
eat it too. On one hand, they want to advertise themselves as uber woke on LGBT stuff. But on the
00:20:39.620
