00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, surprisingly, a Democrat congresswoman has taken a stand
00:00:04.860 against the religious bigotry in her own ranks. Also, a megachurch pastor says that the Old
00:00:10.020 Testament no longer applies to Christians. We'll talk about that utter stupidity and heresy
00:00:16.080 today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:21.980 So I really like this headline from Yahoo that I just saw on Twitter. The headline is
00:00:28.080 Influencer says she was on a tapas and cocaine diet to stay thin. Here's why that's not healthy.
00:00:37.200 I'm not sure if the here's why that's not healthy bit at the end there is strictly speaking necessary.
00:00:43.440 I don't know if anyone's going to read the first part of that headline and say to themselves,
00:00:47.260 oh, wow, you know, that sounds like a great idea. I'll just subsist on little appetizer dishes and
00:00:53.400 cocaine. And, you know, that sounds like a great diet plan. And then they read the second part and
00:00:57.320 say, oh, never mind, says here it's not healthy. Shoot. But let me click and find out why it's not
00:01:03.460 healthy, though. That's the thing. All right. A Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii named Tulsi
00:01:09.720 Gabbard has really impressed me, actually. Doesn't happen often with Democrats. But she wrote an op-ed
00:01:18.300 in The Hill defending religious liberty and calling out her fellow Democrats for their attacks on it.
00:01:24.560 She doesn't use their names specifically, but she's talking about Senators Kamala Harris and
00:01:31.260 Maisie Hirono because they've essentially been trying to impose a religious test on a Catholic
00:01:37.880 judicial nominee named Brian Bosher. They're upset that Bosher is Catholic. And they're especially upset
00:01:46.200 that he's a member of the Knights of Columbus. Now, Hirono, who you may remember as somehow managing
00:01:53.000 to be the most insufferable Democrat during the Kavanaugh hearings, but she wants Bosher to leave
00:01:59.480 the Knights of Columbus. She's very concerned he's got to leave the Knights of Columbus if he wants to
00:02:03.140 be a judge. And he should also recuse himself from any case that deals with issues that the Knights of
00:02:12.740 Columbus have taken a position on. Not any case that the Knights of Columbus are specifically involved in,
00:02:18.900 which, of course, in that case, he should recuse him. But no, any case that deals with issues that
00:02:23.680 the Knights... Well, here's the thing. The Knights of Columbus, they're a Catholic organization,
00:02:27.420 so their positions are just going to be whatever the Catholic Church's positions are. And the Catholic
00:02:33.860 Church has a position on many different subjects, especially the big, most controversial subjects like
00:02:44.120 abortion and marriage and those sorts of things. So what she's really saying is... She might be saying
00:02:51.060 Knights of Columbus. What she's really saying, though, is he should recuse himself from any case involving
00:02:58.160 issues that the Catholic Church has taken a position on, which is another way of saying you can't be a judge
00:03:05.080 if you're Catholic. Let me read a little bit from Gabbard's Hill piece, because this is really solid stuff.
00:03:11.960 She says, while I oppose the nomination of Brian Bosher to the U.S. District Court at Nebraska,
00:03:18.340 I stand strongly against those who are fomenting religious bigotry, citing as disqualifiers Bosher's
00:03:24.760 Catholicism and his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus. If Bosher is unqualified because of his
00:03:30.700 Catholicism and his affiliation with the Knights of Columbus, then President John F. Kennedy and the
00:03:35.700 liberal lion of the Senate, Ted Kennedy, would have been unqualified for the same reasons.
00:03:40.920 Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that there shall be no religious test for any
00:03:47.900 seeking to serve in public offense. No American should be told that his or her public service
00:03:53.620 is unwelcome because, quote, the dogma lives loudly within you, as Senator Dianne Feinstein said to Amy
00:04:00.720 Coney Barrett during her confirmation hearings in 2017 to serve as U.S. Circuit Court judge in the
00:04:06.380 Seventh Circuit. While I absolutely believe in the separation of church and state as a necessary to
00:04:11.060 the health of our nation, no American should be asked to renounce his or her faith or membership
00:04:15.720 in a faith-based service organization in order to hold public office. The party that works so hard
00:04:20.920 to convince people that Catholics and Knights of Columbus like Al Smith and John F. Kennedy could
00:04:26.780 be good Catholics and good public servants shows an alarming disregard of its own history
00:04:31.240 in making such attacks. Very well put. And this is coming from a Democrat. Okay, it's very rare you
00:04:39.360 get this from a Democrat, which is why other Democrats and liberals are not very pleased with
00:04:46.020 Gabbard and have come out and made that clear. Coming to the defense of Hirono and Harris, Jill
00:04:52.720 Filipovic, who's a leftist writer with apparently a big, pretty big following online, she had this to
00:05:00.920 say on Twitter. She says, Tulsi Gabbard is accusing female senators of anti-Catholic bigotry for, rightly,
00:05:08.800 questioning a judicial nominee's membership in an extreme right-wing, anti-choice, anti-LGBT,
00:05:15.360 all-male organization. Gabbard is not a progressive. She's a fraud. So if you stand up,
00:05:22.180 Jill's making it very clear. And there are a lot of leftists who agree with her.
00:05:26.520 If you stand for religious liberty, then you're a fraud. You're not a real progressive. You're a
00:05:31.180 fraud. And I might actually agree with her on that. That if you stand for religious liberty,
00:05:38.100 you're not a real leftist or a real progressive by today's progressive standards, which is a good
00:05:44.320 thing. The only difference is I see that as a very positive thing. Now, Jill says that the Knights of
00:05:50.580 Columbus, and apparently Harris and Hirono feel the same way, the Knights of Columbus are an extreme
00:05:58.760 right-wing group. If you aren't familiar, the Knights of Columbus is a group of men who get
00:06:06.400 together and they pray and they do charity drives and they do things like that. Okay. I mean, it is the
00:06:13.540 most unthreatening group of people that you could possibly imagine. This is one of the main groups,
00:06:19.720 around Christmas time, where you see those boxes and people are collecting toys, doing toys. This
00:06:25.320 is one of the main groups that does toy drives around Christmas time, collecting toys for poor
00:06:30.200 kids. That's what the Knights of Columbus does. Yet they are now an extremist group. As if the Knights
00:06:40.580 of Columbus are wearing literal suits of armor and charging into battle with swords and spears and that
00:06:48.400 sort of thing. Clearly, this stuff about the Knights of Columbus, it is, again, this is just very thinly
00:07:00.000 veiled anti-Catholic bigotry. That's really what that's about. The Knights of Columbus, when it comes
00:07:06.840 down to it, these are just Catholic men who get together and have a fraternity. And as I said,
00:07:16.820 they pray and they do charity work and that sort of thing. So if you've got a problem with them,
00:07:23.240 what you really have a problem with is Catholicism. So how do we account for this? How do we account
00:07:28.780 for this just kind of open anti-Christian bigotry on the left? Well, where now they're so straightforward
00:07:39.420 about it, they're so blatant, it's like they're not even trying to disguise it? Well, there's a very
00:07:45.740 obvious answer here, of course. The left hates Christianity because of the moral message of
00:07:52.780 Christianity. And that moral message makes them feel bad. It cramps their style. It interferes with
00:07:59.400 their relativistic approach to things. And that's the main reason why they hate it, which is pretty
00:08:06.620 obvious. But I think there's something else as well. There's also a fundamental lack of understanding
00:08:13.940 on the left when it comes to religion. And that is, when a leftist thinks of bigotry, they think of
00:08:24.260 a person who hates someone else for that other person's identity. If you hate someone because of
00:08:32.400 their identity, then you're a bigot. Except the problem is, people on the left, they don't recognize
00:08:39.880 religious affiliation as an identity. They just don't see it that way. They can't understand
00:08:46.060 how a person's religion is not only a part of their identity, but any religious person will tell you
00:08:53.040 it's not only a part of their identity, it is the most central, crucial, important part of their
00:08:59.580 identity. Now, you notice that we say this about religious bigotry and how they don't care about
00:09:07.000 religious bigotry, yet they do talk about Islamophobia all the time. So they are worried
00:09:12.740 about that kind of religious bigotry, but that's because they associate Islam with non-white people.
00:09:20.980 And so when they're worried about Islamophobia, what they're really worried about in their mind is
00:09:25.820 sort of an anti-Arab bias. So they see that as entirely ethnic and racial. That's why they care
00:09:33.780 about that. If Muslims were mostly white, they wouldn't care about Islamophobia at all.
00:09:41.520 And that's why, that's another one of the reasons why they don't care about anti-Christian bias is
00:09:46.320 because they see Christianity as a white thing, which of course is ridiculous. Christianity was born in
00:09:53.960 the Middle East. The majority of Christians in the world are actually not white. I mean,
00:10:01.160 there are a whole lot of Christians in Africa. There are a whole lot of Christians in South and
00:10:05.020 Central America. There are plenty of Christians in Asia. It is not a white invention and it's not a
00:10:12.280 white thing. It is a universal thing. But it is also a choice. You know, you have to choose to accept
00:10:23.340 this faith, to accept the gospel. You have to choose that. But that doesn't make it any less a part of
00:10:31.700 your identity. If anything, it makes it more a part of your identity, or at least it makes it a more
00:10:40.040 important part of your identity. Because it's not something that you're just born with. It's not
00:10:46.420 just an accident of nature. It's, it's something that you pursue and find and organize your life
00:10:56.000 around. And that's why, that's why it's not as, it's not as simple as saying, oh, well, you know,
00:11:06.040 it's okay to, to hate someone for their, or to hate someone's religion because they choose that,
00:11:10.520 they could easily choose a different religion. I mean, these are people on the left there. These
00:11:17.100 are the ones who are, who are constantly talking about the value of choice, right? They're supposed
00:11:21.220 to be pro-choice. They're supposed to be, they're supposed to see choice as this wonderful, beautiful
00:11:26.180 thing. Well, okay. I agree. Religion is a choice. And that is what makes it such a crucial thing to,
00:11:35.540 to a person's identity. Staying in the realm of religion, my friend, Paul Blanc at the Daily Wire
00:11:45.020 has an interesting piece on the site right now about a megachurch pastor who has announced his
00:11:51.660 congregation that the 10 commandments no longer apply to Christians. Okay. Here's what Paul writes.
00:11:59.600 He says, popular megachurch pastor Andy Stanley of North Point Ministries says Christians need to
00:12:05.640 stop erecting monuments to the 10 commandments because they apparently no longer apply to
00:12:09.780 Christians, which is completely false. In a piece posted to Relevant Magazine on Monday,
00:12:14.420 Pastor Stanley said that since the 10 commandments come from the old covenant,
00:12:18.800 Christians should stop erecting monuments dedicated to them. Stanley says, if we're going to create a
00:12:25.160 monument to stand as a testament to our faith, shouldn't it at least be a monument of something
00:12:29.440 that actually applies to us? Participants in the new covenant, that's Christians, are not required to
00:12:36.660 obey any of the commandments found in the first part of their Bibles. Participants in the new covenants
00:12:42.460 are expected to obey the single command Jesus issued as part of his new covenant,
00:12:47.620 as I have loved you, so you must love one another. He continued,
00:12:52.540 But how many times have you seen Christians trying to post the text of the Sermon on the Mount at a
00:12:57.380 public place, or the all-encompassing commandment Jesus gave us? Stanley goes on to say that this
00:13:04.020 commandment from Christ is a replacement for everything in the existing list, including the Big Ten.
00:13:11.740 Just as his new covenant replaced the old covenant, Jesus' new commandment replaced all the old
00:13:16.800 commandments, Stanley contended. Stanley also promoted the fact that too many congregations
00:13:21.160 placed too much emphasis on the old covenant. Jesus was foreshadowed in the old covenant. He did
00:13:27.860 not come to extend it. Dear Christian reader, why, why, why would we even be tempted to reach back
00:13:34.820 beyond the cross to borrow from a covenant that was temporary and inferior to the covenant established
00:13:40.200 for us at Calvary? Okay. First of all, I'd be perfectly fine with putting the text of the Sermon on the
00:13:51.040 Mount anywhere. I think that'd be great. Now, a monument with the entire text of the Sermon on the
00:13:56.040 Mount might be, that'd be kind of a big monument, because it's a pretty lengthy sermon, but I'm
00:14:03.900 perfectly fine with that. So that's the only part of what you just read that I agree with, that, yeah,
00:14:10.380 let's put the Sermon on the Mount. Let's make monuments of the Sermon on the Mount. The rest of
00:14:14.580 it, though, is just, is just, it is bad exegesis. It is bad hermeneutics. It is bad theology. It is bad
00:14:23.420 everything. It's heresy. It's stupidity. It's the kind of thing that you could maybe excuse a six-year-old
00:14:31.200 for saying before his Sunday school teacher corrects him. And this guy pastors a church,
00:14:37.400 not just any church, but a big, a mega church with thousands of, of adherents. And he writes
00:14:44.040 best-selling books. And yet he has not the most basic theological understanding of his own religion.
00:14:53.460 Because, you know, basically anyone could be a mega church pastor. You just, you just,
00:14:58.400 just walk in and you say, here I am. I'm going to tell you about Jesus.
00:15:04.200 And people go and they sit and they listen to this guy pontificate.
00:15:09.800 And they imagine that they're doing something religiously,
00:15:13.300 you know, fulfilling or edifying.
00:15:18.600 This is just this guy's opinion. He's just giving you his opinion. And it's a really bad,
00:15:23.020 stupid, wrong opinion on top of that. He has no business being a pastor.
00:15:31.620 Where to even begin with this? Jesus is not a replacement. And the commandments he gives us
00:15:38.720 are not replacements. A replacement is something you put in place because the old thing is broken.
00:15:44.060 It's like God changed his mind and said, ah, you know, never mind with all that. Let's do this instead.
00:15:51.280 No, Jesus came to fulfill the old covenant. Fulfill it. Not abolish it. Not replace it.
00:15:58.040 He says that himself. He clarifies this exact point. It's right there in the book.
00:16:03.140 Matthew 5, 17. Look it up.
00:16:05.960 I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. There's a difference.
00:16:09.800 And there's this as well.
00:16:15.120 You shall love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
00:16:18.620 This is the great and first commandment, and a second is like it.
00:16:22.540 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
00:16:24.500 He calls these commandments greatest. Great.
00:16:29.320 He does not say they're the only ones.
00:16:33.020 He doesn't say that they replace the old ones.
00:16:35.440 Don't kill. Don't steal. Honor your parents. Don't covet. Don't take the Lord's name.
00:16:40.040 Apparently, Pastor Andy Staley thinks that, Stanley thinks that, okay, well, I guess, so what?
00:16:44.720 We can still, we don't have to honor our parents anymore?
00:16:48.800 We could take the Lord's name in vain?
00:16:53.580 No, Jesus, that's not what Jesus said.
00:16:55.500 Jesus doesn't replace those. He doesn't do away with them.
00:16:59.220 He doesn't say, yeah, forget about all that.
00:17:00.700 In fact, again, he specifically clarifies this point in that verse I just read.
00:17:07.320 Read one more sentence over.
00:17:08.780 He says, on these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.
00:17:16.520 Now, why would he be talking about that the law and the prophets depend on these two commandments
00:17:24.120 that he just gave if the law and the prophets are now irrelevant?
00:17:28.960 What he's saying is that the moral laws of the Old Testament, including the Ten Commandments,
00:17:36.680 rest upon these commandments that he gave.
00:17:40.960 And these commandments are, this is a commandment of love.
00:17:43.780 So he's saying, love is the foundation.
00:17:46.960 And the law and the prophets depend upon, are rooted in, are founded upon love.
00:17:55.660 By the way, this, see, here's the difference between what I'm saying now and what Pastor Stanley is saying.
00:18:05.040 I'm not giving, like, my interpretation or my opinion about it.
00:18:09.760 I'm just telling you what, what, I'm just telling you what the book says.
00:18:12.220 That's all.
00:18:13.540 I'm just giving you what the book says.
00:18:15.480 And I'm saying, if we have to choose between siding with what Jesus says in the Gospels
00:18:24.540 or siding with Andy Stanley, you know, I'm going with Jesus, personally.
00:18:28.620 That's just me.
00:18:30.940 The moral laws of the Old Testament hold.
00:18:35.420 Okay?
00:18:36.220 The moral laws hold forever and all time.
00:18:39.180 This is just basic Christian theology.
00:18:42.100 I mean, again, this is Sunday school, when you're seven years old type of stuff.
00:18:48.700 There are different kinds of laws in the Old Testament, and you do have to distinguish between them.
00:18:53.800 So you have moral laws decreed by God, and then you have ceremonial laws, like the stuff about mixed fabrics
00:19:02.040 and dietary restrictions and so on.
00:19:04.420 Now, those we are no longer bound to uphold.
00:19:06.980 Those are not immutable, eternal, fundamentally moral laws.
00:19:15.040 And this is also something that Paul spends a lot of time—now I'm talking about St. Paul,
00:19:19.500 not Paul Bois from Daily Water—this is something that St. Paul spends a lot of time in his epistles explaining.
00:19:28.160 That's the thing.
00:19:28.940 All you have to go is just read the text.
00:19:30.900 Just go read the text for yourself.
00:19:32.240 This stuff has been clarified.
00:19:35.440 It's been settled.
00:19:37.420 And it's amazing to me—I don't know how I could still be amazed by it—but it's amazing to me
00:19:41.680 that people could still be confused about this stuff when you could just go pick up the book and read it.
00:19:48.360 Not only are people confused, but pastors are confused.
00:19:52.820 Have you ever read Paul?
00:19:54.400 Pick him up sometime.
00:19:55.660 And it's not that—the epistles aren't that long.
00:19:58.120 There aren't that many of them.
00:19:59.100 Also, if you read church history, okay, if you read the history of early Christianity,
00:20:05.780 if you read about the kind of things that the church fathers were dealing with in the first, second, third centuries,
00:20:12.320 you'll find that heretics like Stanley, they're not even doing us the favor of inventing new heresies, okay?
00:20:18.860 They're just cooking up old ones.
00:20:20.400 So they don't even have the creativity to come up with new ones,
00:20:23.340 and at least that would make it a little bit interesting to have this conversation.
00:20:26.920 There was a guy named Marcion.
00:20:30.960 He was a false teacher, a leader of a heretical Christian sect in the early second century.
00:20:35.260 That was 1900 years ago.
00:20:37.920 And he taught what Stanley is basically saying here.
00:20:41.200 He said the Old Testament doesn't apply to us.
00:20:45.300 He also taught that the Old Testament God was a tyrant and a despot
00:20:50.700 and a completely different God from the God of the New Testament.
00:20:56.520 Now, Stanley doesn't go that far, that's true, but the crux is the same.
00:21:01.140 Okay, so this is basically Marcionism repackaged, reheated, and made a little bit more palatable.
00:21:09.060 Because, as I said, the guy Marcion, 1900 years ago, he was just, he had open contempt for the Old Testament
00:21:17.300 and for that God, and, you know, he basically spat upon it.
00:21:24.300 Stanley isn't going to go that far, but their basic point is exactly the same,
00:21:29.600 which is, this stuff doesn't apply to us.
00:21:32.940 It's not our book.
00:21:41.240 This, you know, Stanley's church should be empty now.
00:21:46.040 I mean, after writing this article, his church should be completely empty.
00:21:51.100 If you go to his church, you should be running for the hills at this point.
00:21:56.220 If you keep going, just realize that you're not going to a church, okay?
00:22:02.940 You're not going for anything that could be considered a church service.
00:22:08.660 You're going to just sit down and hear some dude's opinion,
00:22:12.940 an opinion which is disconnected, divorced from Christian theology and the text of Scripture.
00:22:22.980 So, this dude is just inventing his new thing, that's all.
00:22:26.280 So, he's coming up with his new kind of religion, and if you go to his church,
00:22:30.560 then you're a member of that religion that he's inventing.
00:22:36.260 Let's call it Stanleyism.
00:22:37.660 Okay, this is not Christianity.
00:22:38.960 This is Stanleyism.
00:22:41.440 And you have every right to be a member of Stanleyism.
00:22:44.000 If that's, if it appeals to you, in America, First Amendment,
00:22:46.940 you have every right to join that religion.
00:22:48.320 But I just feel like you should know, it's not the Christian religion.
00:22:54.820 Because all you have to do is read the text, read the Scripture,
00:22:58.580 read a little bit about the history of your own religion,
00:23:01.660 or of your former religion,
00:23:03.660 and you're going to find that these things have been dealt with.
00:23:08.220 I mean, they've been dealt with.
00:23:11.660 There's really no real controversy here.
00:23:13.940 It's very clear.
00:23:18.060 All right, what else?
00:23:21.640 Real quick, California is looking at a ban on paper receipts, apparently.
00:23:28.900 They handled the straws, and now they're going over to the receipts.
00:23:32.900 Now, all I want to say about this is,
00:23:35.680 I'm the same as anyone else.
00:23:38.000 I get annoyed by receipts.
00:23:39.380 Like, you go to Rite Aid or something,
00:23:41.060 and you buy a soda and a pack of gum,
00:23:42.980 and they give you a receipt
00:23:44.660 that's this huge, five-mile-long scroll, right?
00:23:49.420 And it's completely ridiculous.
00:23:51.240 But this is, and everybody's annoyed by that.
00:23:54.260 And it is, it does seem like,
00:23:56.100 I'm not much of an environmentalist.
00:23:58.760 But sometimes when I get those receipts,
00:24:00.320 I do think to myself,
00:24:01.760 eh, I mean, did we really have to kill a tree for this?
00:24:04.440 Seems like sort of a waste.
00:24:06.900 But this is an example.
00:24:08.260 The reason I bring this up is,
00:24:09.220 this is an example,
00:24:10.940 like with the plastic straw thing,
00:24:13.840 but even more so with this.
00:24:15.040 This is an example of the government
00:24:16.700 trying to solve a problem
00:24:18.700 that the market is already in the process of solving.
00:24:22.880 Because while it's true
00:24:24.240 that you could still go to places
00:24:26.080 and get these absurdly long receipts,
00:24:28.760 more and more places
00:24:30.560 are moving away from paper receipts,
00:24:32.600 and they're doing the digital receipt.
00:24:34.340 And I have found,
00:24:35.440 just my anecdotal experience,
00:24:37.560 it's more and more common now
00:24:39.340 when you go to a place
00:24:40.220 that they'll actually ask you,
00:24:41.780 do you want a receipt?
00:24:43.060 And you can say no,
00:24:44.180 and then they won't give you one.
00:24:45.680 It used to be back in the day,
00:24:46.820 they just gave a receipt to everybody
00:24:47.820 without asking.
00:24:49.100 So people are moving away from receipts,
00:24:50.880 they're doing the digital receipts,
00:24:52.120 and 10 or 15 years from now,
00:24:54.280 paper receipts won't exist.
00:24:57.340 So we're already heading in that direction
00:24:59.560 without government involvement.
00:25:01.360 All the government has to do is nothing.
00:25:04.500 All it needs to do is just sit back and say,
00:25:06.400 well, this problem's being solved.
00:25:08.640 So we don't even need to argue
00:25:11.440 about whether or not this is a real problem
00:25:13.360 or whether or not it matters.
00:25:16.340 That's not the point.
00:25:19.280 Because it's an issue
00:25:21.040 that is already being addressed naturally
00:25:23.820 by the marketplace.
00:25:29.520 But then what happens
00:25:32.240 is that bureaucrats
00:25:33.720 stick their noses in it
00:25:35.500 and what could have been
00:25:37.420 a very natural and normal
00:25:39.200 transition from one thing to another
00:25:43.080 now becomes complicated
00:25:44.940 and expensive
00:25:46.320 and it involves regulations
00:25:48.280 and laws
00:25:49.220 and all of it
00:25:50.140 completely unnecessary.
00:25:52.800 All right.
00:25:54.180 Something to think about over the weekend.
00:25:55.660 We'll leave it there.
00:25:56.480 Have a great weekend
00:25:57.140 and enjoy watching playoff football
00:25:59.040 over the weekend.
00:25:59.720 I will not be watching.
00:26:00.620 I retire from watching football
00:26:01.940 after my Ravens lost
00:26:04.180 in a heartbreaker last weekend.
00:26:06.700 And I'm just,
00:26:08.660 it's happened too many times
00:26:10.120 and I'm giving up.
00:26:11.860 I'm looking for a new sport.
00:26:13.360 So any suggestions?
00:26:14.520 I've been looking for a new sport to watch
00:26:15.980 because I'm done with football.
00:26:17.860 I can't take it anymore.
00:26:18.980 I can't take the heartbreak.
00:26:20.900 So, you know,
00:26:23.020 I'm thinking something like,
00:26:24.060 I watch competitive bass fishing
00:26:25.820 a little bit.
00:26:26.380 I'm thinking maybe
00:26:26.880 I'll invest myself more in that.
00:26:30.380 Soccer, maybe.
00:26:31.020 Well, that's not really a sport,
00:26:32.040 but I'm looking for something else
00:26:33.620 besides football.
00:26:34.100 But anyone who is watching it,
00:26:35.320 hope you enjoy it.
00:26:36.480 And I'll talk to you next week.
00:26:38.380 Godspeed.
00:26:38.700 Today on the Ben Shapiro Show,
00:26:47.040 as government employees miss paychecks,
00:26:48.980 President Trump visits the border,
00:26:50.520 Democrats prep for 2020,
00:26:51.940 and we check the mailbag.
00:26:53.020 That's today on the Ben Shapiro Show.
00:26:54.340 We'll see you next week.
