Today on the Matt Wall Show, we'll take a look at the latest hoax that the media and
00:00:33.460
the Democrats are pushing to advance their pro-abortion agenda.

Also, Kamala Harris has a campaign rally with Oprah, where she launches into what may be,

even by her standards, the most cringy and unintelligible ramble we've ever heard from

We're getting to the point where even the most left-wing news outlets are becoming frustrated
00:02:21.720
with how little Kamala Harris is speaking to the press.
00:02:24.760
Axios, for example, reported the other day, Exclusive, the Harris-Walls ticket is on pace
00:02:29.000
to do fewer interviews and press conferences than any major party's presidential pairing
00:02:35.160
According to the data, J.D. Vance alone has done seven times more interviews and press conferences
00:02:42.460
Now, this near-total media blackout makes it all the more important to pay attention
00:02:47.540
to the very few times that Kamala Harris is willing to speak off the cuff.
00:02:52.040
And we had one of those moments earlier this week when Kamala spoke with something called
00:02:56.200
the National Association of Black Journalists, or NABJ.
00:03:00.920
Still not clear why we have a segregated association of black journalists or why politicians think
00:03:05.160
it's important to speak to them, but apparently this is considered to be a worthwhile stop for
00:03:09.960
Donald Trump spoke to the NABJ a few weeks ago, and he was heckled throughout his appearance,
00:03:14.980
and the moderators were extremely hostile to him, but he did it anyway.
00:03:20.540
Kamala Harris, on the other hand, was not heckled by the Black Journalists Association
00:03:27.000
Instead, for roughly an hour, she was allowed to lie repeatedly without being interrupted or
00:03:33.500
And one of those lies was especially egregious.
00:03:35.800
In response to a question about abortion, Kamala Harris suggested that the so-called Heartbeat
00:03:40.760
Bill in Georgia, which bans abortion after a heartbeat is detected, was to blame for the
00:03:45.660
recent death of a 28-year-old woman named Amber Thurman.
00:03:49.080
And by extension, Kamala Harris implicated Donald Trump, the Supreme Court, and of course the
00:03:55.580
We need to put the protections of Roe v. Wade back into law, and when that bill gets passed
00:04:08.240
Over 20 states have passed what I call Trump abortion bans, because I understand how we
00:04:14.300
The former president handpicked three members of the United States Supreme Court with the
00:04:18.000
intention they would undo the protections of Roe v. Wade.
00:04:20.540
They did as he intended, and in state after state, laws have been passed criminalizing
00:04:26.780
I don't know if anyone here has heard most recently the stories out of Georgia.
00:04:32.060
Tragic story about a young woman who died because it appears the people who should have given
00:04:40.560
her health care were afraid they'd be criminalized after the Dobbs decision came down.
00:04:47.440
So first, she portrays Donald Trump as nefarious because he handpicked three Supreme Court
00:04:53.720
I guess he was supposed to, what, just draw their names from a hat or something?
00:04:57.320
And then Kamala launches into a narrative that's been making its way throughout the mainstream
00:05:03.180
It originated in an outlet called ProPublica, which is best known for posting a series of
00:05:07.080
recent hit pieces on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
00:05:10.740
And here's how one news station reported on the story.
00:05:14.220
A Georgia woman has been identified as one of the first known deaths related to a lack
00:05:21.820
Yeah, that's according to her family and state documentation obtained by non-profit newsroom
00:05:28.540
Non-profit newsroom ProPublica released a report on internal documents it obtained from the Georgia
00:05:33.880
committee tasked with reviewing pregnancy-related deaths.
00:05:37.180
The report indicated the committee, run by the State Department of Health, determined the
00:05:41.520
death of 28-year-old Amber Thurman was likely preventable if she'd had access to abortion
00:05:49.380
The report states Amber was going on eight weeks pregnant at the time, her family sharing
00:05:53.880
with 11 Alive that she drove to North Carolina to obtain FDA-approved medication to terminate
00:05:59.160
the pregnancy, saying by the time she arrived back to Georgia, she'd started bleeding heavily.
00:06:04.220
According to medical records cited by ProPublica, Amber was rushed to a hospital in metro Atlanta,
00:06:09.820
where doctors noted twice that a DNC procedure should be considered to remove the infection.
00:06:15.520
But the procedure, often used for abortions, wasn't done, not even when Amber became septic.
00:06:21.680
She was clearly septic and she was hemorrhaging.
00:06:24.640
She should have had a DNC right then and there.
00:06:27.380
Vice President Kamala Harris issuing a statement Tuesday, writing in part,
00:06:31.240
this is exactly what we feared when Roe was struck down and now women are dying.
00:06:36.560
Advocates of Georgia's abortion law say it has clear exceptions for medical emergencies
00:06:41.400
and includes expanded support for expectant mothers, from broadening Medicaid coverage
00:06:46.420
to expanding maternal health resources like in-home medical visits in rural and underserved
00:06:52.920
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more absurd and self-contradictory news segment anywhere
00:06:59.180
The report begins by stating that Amber Thurman died because of a lack of abortion care access,
00:07:04.720
quote unquote, abortion care access, otherwise known as killing your baby.
00:07:08.680
According to this report, Thurman's death was preventable because she drove from Georgia
00:07:13.960
to North Carolina to get an abortion when she was about nine weeks pregnant with twins.
00:07:18.200
But because of a traffic jam, she missed her appointment, so she was given abortion pills.
00:07:21.660
Then she drove back to Georgia, where she began suffering serious complications from sepsis,
00:07:26.740
which is a potentially fatal response to bacterial infection.
00:07:29.080
And then, according to this report, doctors in Georgia didn't perform a so-called DNC procedure
00:07:34.460
in order to save the life of the mother, waited more than 20 hours before significant intervention,
00:07:39.260
supposedly because they were worried that they might be prosecuted under Georgia's heartbeat law.
00:07:48.240
And then, after all this reporting, they casually mention at the very end of the news report
00:07:52.300
that actually none of this has anything to do with Georgia's heartbeat law,
00:07:55.760
which has clear exceptions in emergencies where the life of the mother is at stake.
00:08:00.860
I mean, just that's a fact about what's in the law.
00:08:06.900
here's what it says directly from the Georgia Department of Health, quote,
00:08:10.000
The law provides that no abortion shall be performed if the unborn child has a detectable human heartbeat
00:08:14.900
except A, in the event of a medical emergency or medically futile pregnancy,
00:08:18.800
or B, in cases involving rape or incest in which an official police report has been filed
00:08:23.860
and where the probable gestational age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or less.
00:08:27.980
The law does not prohibit the removal of a dead unborn child caused by a spontaneous abortion
00:08:35.400
Now, anyone connecting this incident to the Georgia heartbeat law is lying,
00:08:40.660
and they're doing it in the most flagrant and reprehensible way imaginable.
00:08:44.420
They're using the death of a young woman and her two children in order to defame the pro-life movement.
00:08:53.160
Some tragedies are impossible to prevent or even to predict.
00:08:58.740
She was perhaps the first woman killed by the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
00:09:02.180
Now, for her part, Kamala Harris said in a statement,
00:09:05.960
This young mother should be alive, raising her son and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school.
00:09:12.160
These are the consequences of Donald Trump's actions.
00:09:15.420
Now, this is a story that Kamala Harris pushes at every opportunity.
00:09:20.540
Yesterday she sat down with Oprah, for example,
00:09:23.100
and we'll have more about her exchange with Oprah later on in the show.
00:09:27.760
But I'm going to show you this part right now because they strongly imply, once again,
00:09:32.440
that Georgia's law somehow was involved in what happened here.
00:09:36.760
And then they play a montage that contradicts that narrative.
00:09:40.660
Amber's case came to light through the reporting of journalist Kavitha Serrana with ProPublica.
00:09:51.220
Two years ago, 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman, a medical assistant and a single mother to a six-year-old boy,
00:10:02.600
Amber had just secured her own apartment and was thinking about going to nursing school.
00:10:08.060
She made the decision to terminate her pregnancy.
00:10:11.560
A strict abortion ban had recently taken place in her home state of Georgia,
00:10:15.560
which caused Amber to travel to North Carolina for the procedure.
00:10:19.100
Traffic made her miss the appointment, so the clinic gave her medication, what are known as abortion pills.
00:10:26.600
Once back home, Amber experienced profuse bleeding, vomiting, severe pain.
00:10:36.100
At the Georgia hospital, Amber's condition deteriorated quickly.
00:10:40.220
In a rare occurrence, it was discovered her body had not expelled all the fetal tissue and an infection was spreading.
00:10:47.020
Official Georgia state medical expert analysis of her case says Amber should have received a life-saving D&C,
00:10:54.640
but doctors waited 20 hours before deciding to take her to surgery.
00:10:59.240
Amber's blood pressure had taken a dive or organs had started failing.
00:11:07.200
On the way to surgery, Amber's last words to her mother were,
00:11:14.260
Now, as Eric Erickson has pointed out, this is not just a hoax.
00:11:20.580
But the pro-life movement did not kill this woman.
00:11:25.280
These drugs are not, in fact, as safe as Tylenol, as Planned Parenthood claims.
00:11:29.860
Researchers have long understood that sepsis is a rare but potentially fatal adverse effect,
00:11:38.420
What can happen is that in some cases, after these drugs kill the child,
00:11:43.560
there's dead tissue that remains from the, from, because you've killed the child.
00:11:49.780
And that tissue can cause a serious infection if it's not expelled from the body.
00:11:53.680
So the pill can cause the intended death of the child and the unintended death of the mother.
00:11:59.600
Of course, no one at the National Association of Black Journalists pointed this out to Kamala Harris
00:12:07.300
Instead, they let her continue to ramble for another minute or so.
00:12:11.180
And then they pivoted to a question about why it's important for her to be joyful.
00:12:15.860
That's how shameless and embarrassing this whole event was.
00:12:18.980
So here's the rest of Kamala Harris' answer, and then we'll play the follow-up question.
00:12:23.100
Laws that make no exception even for rape or incest,
00:12:27.020
which means that you're telling a survivor of a crime of a violation to their body
00:12:30.780
that they have no right to make a decision about what happens to their body next,
00:12:39.120
An approach that doesn't take into account that most people, I think, agree.
00:12:43.280
You don't have to abandon your faith or deeply held beliefs to agree.
00:12:47.620
The government should not be telling her what to do with her body.
00:12:55.540
But it should not be the government or Donald Trump
00:12:58.180
telling her what to do about her own body and her life
00:13:02.740
because she's smart enough to know what's in her best interest
00:13:06.860
instead of having her government tell her what to do,
00:13:09.080
especially a bunch of people in these state capitals
00:13:11.100
who think they're in a better position to tell her what to do
00:13:13.500
than she is to know what's in her best interest.
00:13:18.220
Joyful Warrior has been used to describe your campaign.
00:13:26.160
And your opponent and Republicans have at times weaponized
00:13:35.560
Why is joy important to you to insert into this election?
00:13:44.440
as a way to suggest that you're not a serious candidate?
00:13:47.500
So Kamala lies about the death of a young woman and her children in Georgia.
00:13:52.600
And then she says that you're immoral if you think that the government
00:13:55.500
should tell a woman what to do about her own body and her life,
00:13:58.700
even though it's not her body we're talking about.
00:14:03.000
She also suggests that the Georgia law bans abortion in cases of rape and incest,
00:14:09.120
And instead of any kind of follow-up, she gets asked about her joy.
00:14:14.460
Nobody at this useless organization of black journalists
00:14:17.280
thought to correct the record on Amber Thurman.
00:14:20.320
No one thought to point out that, in fact, the pro-life movement
00:14:22.640
is concerned about the best interests and the body of the child,
00:14:32.360
Kamala didn't explain why mothers should be able to kill their children
00:14:35.180
if they determine that it's in their best interests
00:14:37.100
or explain why the interests of the child is not weighed at all as a factor
00:14:44.300
or explain how it could be in the interests of the child to be killed.
00:14:50.700
Instead, she simply declared that if you're a Christian or a Muslim
00:14:54.840
then killing children isn't really incompatible with your beliefs
00:15:04.380
There's another Georgia woman mentioned in this report from ProPublica
00:15:10.180
who suffered from diabetes, lupus, and hypertension.
00:15:15.340
that doctors warned that another pregnancy could potentially be fatal.
00:15:21.200
According to ProPublica, when she became pregnant anyway in 2022,
00:15:24.800
she avoided doctors and navigated an abortion on her own.
00:15:32.860
and would need a DNC procedure to clear it from her uterus
00:15:36.100
and stave off sepsis, a grave and painful infection.
00:15:42.260
after she took the pills, bedridden and moaning.
00:15:58.840
This situation, again, is being blamed on the pro-life movement
00:16:03.780
ProPublica, citing a report from a state committee of experts,
00:16:07.600
concluded that this was also a preventable death
00:16:10.480
because they determined that Candy Miller was responding
00:16:12.840
to the Georgia legislation when she ordered the abortion pills online.
00:16:16.560
But again, that doesn't make the Georgia legislation
00:16:27.720
instead of taking a lethal combination of painkillers,
00:16:35.020
there's nothing that would have prevented them from doing that.
00:16:50.780
These mothers' decisions to take the abortion pill is,
00:17:09.900
Every reasonable person who looks at these cases
00:17:26.300
And once again, the media is going along with it.
00:18:10.480
These are people who would rather see women die
00:18:42.260
No, it shouldn't be a political action campaign.
