The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 206 - The Democratic Party Officially Endorses Infanticide

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Democrats shoot down a bill that would have protected infants

00:00:05.120 born alive after abortion. So to be clear, the Democrat Party has now officially come out in

00:00:10.480 favor of infanticide. That is what happened. We'll talk about that. Also, after two biological males

00:00:16.380 just won a track and field championship in Connecticut, this question arises, and that is,

00:00:22.240 why is this happening considering the fact that almost everyone is opposed to this? Almost everyone

00:00:26.480 thinks this is crazy to have men racing against women, yet it continues to happen. Why are we

00:00:32.900 allowing a small minority to impose its will on the majority? We'll talk about that as well today

00:00:38.160 on the Matt Wall Show. I was just reading an email from somebody calling me a climate denier

00:00:49.000 because yesterday I said on the show that I don't think the world is coming to an end anytime soon

00:00:55.860 due to global warming. You know, I don't think you need to go building an ark because the polar ice

00:01:02.360 caps are going to melt. And so that makes me a climate denier. Yes, I deny the climate. That's

00:01:08.580 right. This is one of my favorite phrases the left uses. Of all their euphemisms and their misleading and

00:01:16.140 flatly dishonest labels and terms that they use, this may be my favorite when they call you a climate

00:01:23.440 denier. Like, yes, I deny the climate. It's true. I deny that the climate exists. I don't believe in

00:01:29.680 the climate. I don't think there is such a thing as a climate. I think that we live in a giant

00:01:34.380 artificial dome, much like the Truman Show, except this dome, according to my theory, was built by

00:01:40.460 aliens billions of years ago. And they're actually, the aliens are on platforms in the sky, what looks

00:01:49.640 like the sky anyway. It's actually just painted blue, but they're up there on the clouds are actually

00:01:52.900 these platforms and the aliens are up there and they're dumping, they're dumping buckets of water

00:01:57.480 to make rain and they're rolling bowling balls across wood floors to make thunder. Um, and, uh, and

00:02:03.980 that's, that's my theory. I deny the existence of the climate. Now, of course, uh, for most people

00:02:10.680 though, when, when, when you call them a climate denier, what you really mean is they are apocalyptic

00:02:15.920 changes in climate caused specifically by human activity deniers. And that's what most people are

00:02:22.960 denying when they're denying the climate. And it may seem like semantics to quibble over this,

00:02:27.480 but it's really not because climate denier makes you sound insane. Whereas anthropogenic,

00:02:33.800 anthropogenic, that's the word, uh, climate change denier sounds much more rational. And that's a little

00:02:41.140 bit more difficult to say, I admit, but, um, there's a reason when someone says climate or even

00:02:46.620 just climate change denier, nobody denies that either. Everyone knows that climates change. We

00:02:51.940 all agree that climates change all the time. The issue is why do they change? What causes the change

00:02:59.740 and to what degree are these different, uh, causes to blame and where is it all leading? And is the world

00:03:06.180 coming to an end soon? I mean, these are the questions that we're arguing about. No one's arguing about the

00:03:10.160 existence of the climate and no one is arguing even about whether or not climates change. Okay. Um,

00:03:16.240 and in fact, you know what, nobody's even arguing about whether or not humans have some kind of

00:03:23.200 effect. I mean, of course we are part of the world. We have an effect. Farting cows have an effect.

00:03:30.200 Volcanoes have an effect. The ocean has an effect. The sun has a huge effect. All of these things have

00:03:35.460 an effect. The question is to what extent, to what degree do these things affect the climate? That's

00:03:42.100 what the issue is over. All right. Um, quite a lot of material to cover today, but before we do,

00:03:47.460 I want to tell you about hair club. Um, it's important to have, to have confidence, of course,

00:03:53.080 to feel, to feel comfortable with yourself. And sometimes one change, it seems like a simple

00:05:22.240 something, um, utterly outrageous and, uh, horrifying. There's a bill called, this is

00:05:32.440 difficult. It's hard for me to even talk about these. I have to try to control myself when I talk

00:05:39.120 about this sort of thing, uh, because it makes me so angry and I have to watch what I say. Uh, a bill

00:05:46.940 called the born alive abortion survivors protection act failed in the Senate last night. Um, maybe you

00:05:55.500 heard about this. If you, if you rely on the mainstream media for your news, you probably

00:05:58.820 did not hear about that. We'll talk about that aspect of it in a minute, but Senate Democrats

00:06:03.460 blocked the bill. It was a bill sponsored by Ben Sass. Um, every single Democrat, except for three

00:06:11.240 Manchin, Casey and Jones, those are the ones who voted for the bill, but all of the rest of the

00:06:16.660 Democrats, every single one, except for those three voted against it. Now, what would this legislation

00:06:23.260 have done? Just like it says it would have required doctors to give medical treatment to infants that

00:06:29.740 are born alive after a failed abortion. This is something that happens, especially with late term

00:06:35.400 abortions. You could have babies that survive it and are born alive. And then the question is,

00:06:40.840 which should not even be a question, but what do you do about the child once he survives?

00:06:48.820 Um, according to the exact language of this bill, it would prohibit a healthy. I'm reading

00:06:53.260 now from the bill, prohibit a healthcare practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care

00:06:58.660 in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion. It goes on. If an abortion 0.51

00:07:04.420 results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of

00:07:09.220 the United States and entitled to all the protections of such laws. Any infant born alive after an abortion 0.83

00:07:14.820 or within a hospital clinic or other facility has the same claim to the protection of the law that

00:07:19.680 would arise for any newborn or for any person who comes to a hospital clinic or other facility for

00:07:24.520 screening and treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care. It also prescribes criminal

00:07:29.980 penalties for anyone who intentionally performs or attempts to perform an overt act that kills a child

00:07:36.480 born alive. Now there is something called the born alive infant protection act, which was signed into

00:07:43.820 law. And I think 2002, that by the way, was passed unanimously. Okay. So every Democrat in the Senate

00:07:53.200 back in 2002 voted for the born alive infant protection act. Um, and that, what that law did is it defines

00:08:01.620 any child who's born, um, whether after an abortion or in any other scenario as a human being, but it does not

00:08:09.940 specifically prescribe what must be done for these children. Um, it doesn't specifically require doctors

00:08:15.660 to give medical care to the child. It doesn't, um, it doesn't prescribe penalties for doctors who fail to

00:08:23.740 deliver that treatment. And so that's what this, that's what this law was supposed to do. Kind of following on the

00:08:30.440 heels of that one and saying, yeah, that's a human being, by the way, uh, it's a human being. And if

00:08:37.100 it needs medical treatment, you need to give medical treatment and you cannot kill this human being.

00:08:43.540 Uh, you'd hope it wouldn't be necessary, right. To pass a law like this. You'd hope that you wouldn't

00:08:48.480 need a law that actually specifically says, Hey, don't leave babies to die. But in recent weeks, we've seen

00:08:54.100 the Democrats have come out in favor of infanticide and we've seen them push the boundaries further and

00:09:00.100 further and further on abortion, legalizing later and later abortions so that it did become necessary

00:09:06.220 to add these protections, except Senate Democrats voted it down. Every Senate Democrat running for

00:09:12.920 president, just to be clear, every Senate Democrat running for president voted against this bill.

00:09:19.040 Cory Booker, Sherrod Brown, Kirsten Gillibrand, uh, Kamala Harris, um, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders.

00:09:27.620 I might be forgetting a couple, all of them voted against the bill, which means just to really emphasize

00:09:37.220 this, uh, what we're talking about here is the Democrat party has officially unambiguously without

00:09:45.720 question come out in favor of infanticide. They are saying, now this is not just some random, crazy,

00:09:54.220 radical, infanticidal Democrat out there on the fringes. Okay. This is the mainstream of the party. 0.99

00:09:59.700 The majority of the party is now saying that babies who are born out of the mother, living and breathing

00:10:05.800 out in the world, that those babies should not be given legal protection and that it should be legal 0.98

00:10:11.000 to kill them. That's what they're saying. Now, remember Democrats spent the last few weeks denying, 1.00

00:10:17.460 denying, denying with great moral indignation, um, the, the, the claim that they support infanticide

00:10:24.280 after, after Ralph Northam was, was interviewed and he very clearly advocated for infanticide and,

00:10:31.800 uh, but all the Democrats said, no, that's not what we think. That's not what he said. How dare you?

00:10:37.660 And when Republicans accused them and said, you guys support infanticide, Democrats said, 0.99

00:10:41.660 that's ridiculous. No, we don't. And then what Democrat or what, what Republicans said last night

00:10:48.040 was, okay, well, so you don't support infanticide. Well then, uh, just, I'm, I'm sure you'll support 1.00

00:10:52.700 this bill then that makes infanticide illegal. And Democrats said, um, about that, what does that tell

00:11:03.380 us? Uh, it tells us that Democrats are pathological liars, uh, as well as amoral baby murder apologists. 0.99

00:11:14.060 And listen, I know that we're supposed to reach across the aisle, you know, we're supposed to 0.98

00:11:21.140 try and be bipartisan. We're supposed to see the best in the other side and look for common ground

00:11:29.340 and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Um, but I'm just telling you how I feel in this moment

00:11:35.360 and I'm being brutally honest. This is how it seems to me that you cannot be a good person

00:11:43.640 and remain affiliated in any capacity with the Democrat party. Um, if you see a vote like this

00:11:53.240 and you still call yourself a Democrat, I don't care if you're just an average Joe Blow Democrat voter,

00:11:59.340 or politician, whatever, after a vote like this, if you still remain affiliated with the Democrat 0.92

00:12:05.760 party, then you are a bad person. You are simply a bad person. And I am ashamed to share a country 0.99

00:12:13.900 with you. And I wish that I didn't. And if I'm calling 40 million or 50 million Americans bad people,

00:12:24.100 then so be it. Now that said, I recognize that, um, many average Americans who call themselves

00:12:32.560 Democrats may be extremely ignorant. Um, so I guess maybe ignorant or evil are, are really the only, 0.97

00:12:42.820 I mean, if you're, if you're voting Democrat, if you're a Democrat, those are the only options. 1.00

00:12:46.540 You're extremely, extraordinarily, um, uh, clinically ignorant, or you're a bad person. 0.99

00:12:55.880 I, there's not any, there is no third option. There's no, there's no option C here, right? 1.00

00:13:02.620 Well, the option C is, is both. Maybe there's no option D. And we know that, that, um, the media is

00:13:10.560 constantly running cover for Democrats so that if you rely on the mass media for your news,

00:13:15.060 you might not even know about this vote. A lot of mass media outlets are just ignoring it,

00:13:19.620 saying nothing about it. Others are blatantly lying. Um, a quick look at the news. I just looked

00:13:25.560 this up on Google just to see what the headlines are about this vote. And I'll just read a couple,

00:13:30.080 a few headlines. Senate defeats anti-abortion bill as GOP tries to jam Dems. Anti-abortion measure

00:13:37.800 dies in U.S. Senate. Democrats block Senate GOP anti-abortion effort. Senate vote on abortion

00:13:44.960 legislation fails to advance measure. U.S. Democrats block born alive anti-abortion bill.

00:13:51.940 Okay. So you get the point. The media is calling this an anti-abortion measure, um, which is just

00:13:57.940 simply a lie. It actually has nothing to do with abortion at all. It deals with infants that are

00:14:01.540 born alive, already born infants. And liberals are the ones who are saying there's a distinct,

00:14:07.740 now, yes, I believe that there is no difference between an infant born who's born and an infant who's 0.54

00:14:12.520 not born yet. It's the same thing morally, physiologically, philosophically, all of that,

00:14:18.140 right? But, um, they're the ones who say that there's this huge distinction between the two. So by

00:14:25.400 their own standards, this was not an anti-abortion bill. This was a bill that was dealing with born

00:14:30.900 infants, with, with, with, with, with human beings that even they up until now would call babies,

00:14:37.120 not fetuses, babies. So these headlines, they're not just misleading. These headlines are blatant

00:14:43.280 fabric fabrications, total lies. These are headlines that are literally based on abortion

00:14:47.860 industry talking points. Okay. The abortion industry is, is, is writing their PR talking

00:14:53.600 points and handing them out to the media. And the media is taking those talking points and making

00:14:58.280 them into headlines. That's what's happening here. Uh, NARAL, which is an abortion lobbyist group,

00:15:03.440 uh, and a collection of despicable, disgusting scumbags tweeted this after the vote. They said, 1.00

00:15:09.680 breaking the Senate has voted down Senator Sasse's extremist anti-science bill that attempted to inflict

00:15:17.020 medically unnecessary restrictions on clinics, spread dangerous anti-choice lies and threatened

00:15:23.040 healthcare providers with jail time. Extremist. Yes. It's extremist to refrain from murdering already

00:15:29.620 born infants. Right. Uh, but, but this is the line that the Democrat party and the media has taken.

00:15:39.780 The abortion lobby gives them their talking points and they repeat them dutifully.

00:15:45.900 It's just, these are just lies, a lies that are meant to protect the slaughter of children,

00:15:52.480 born children. So the point is, if you're not informed, if you're lazy, um,

00:15:59.620 it's easy to be duped by this and to not realize. So there are probably average voting Democrats who

00:16:08.160 don't realize how radically far left the party has gotten, but that's no excuse. You see, you see,

00:16:13.740 we live in the information age. Um, you have no excuse to be ignorant. 0.99

00:16:19.880 You have no excuse to not know about these things. I don't care who you are. I don't care where you live. 0.99

00:16:24.320 I don't care what your situation is. Unless you're in a coma, you have no excuse to not know,

00:16:31.520 um, what has become of the Democrat party. All, I mean, just, it doesn't take that much research.

00:16:39.260 Um, so the thing is, you know, yes, I, I, I acknowledge that, um, there are Democrat voters 0.96

00:16:48.780 who are, who are extremely ignorant and don't realize how evil the party is, but 0.99

00:16:54.160 that ignorance now, that is a moral failing as well to be that ignorant. It's, it's, 1.00

00:17:03.180 it's gotta be that you want to remain ignorant. I mean, we, look, we've reached a point where if

00:17:11.760 you're, if you're a decent person, you cannot support this. I don't know how else to put it.

00:17:19.500 The Democrat party is endorsing the killing of born children. 0.97

00:17:28.480 That's where the line is drawn. I'm not saying you got to become a Republican. I'm not shilling for

00:17:31.940 the Republican. I don't care about that. I mean, be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want

00:17:36.220 to do, take, but, but you, you, you can't support this. The Democrat party, this is what they're

00:17:42.660 about. Killing babies, infanticide. And so that's where the line is drawn. It's just, are you going 1.00

00:17:49.480 to be a decent person or not? And if you're going to be decent, you cannot possibly affiliate

00:17:55.920 yourself. The Democrat party is an, is an evil institution. 0.96

00:18:01.940 With no morally redeeming aspects about it at all anymore.

00:18:10.280 Speaking of being informed, I want to play for you an exchange between,

00:18:15.580 and this was all, this also came out yesterday as it happens. This is an exchange between fake

00:18:21.720 Christian abortion, abortionist, Willie Parker. Well, he's, he's a real abortionist and a fake 0.94

00:18:26.620 Christian, just to be clear. And, um, and Dr. Mike Adams. So they had, uh, interestingly enough,

00:18:32.060 they had a debate at, at the university of North Carolina and Willie Parker, who's an abortionist,

00:18:36.720 um, volunteered to publicly debate this. It's very rare that you get a working abortionist

00:18:42.620 who's going to get up on stage and debate somebody about abortion. Um, you rarely see that these,

00:18:51.320 these people, these guys, they do not want to be in that situation of having to defend what they do,

00:18:57.220 um, against someone who's hostile to them. And we're going to find out why here. Uh, I think Willie

00:19:04.680 Parker is regretting putting himself in this position. And so I want you, I'm going to play

00:19:10.500 just one little clip from this exchange. I want you to watch this.

00:19:13.160 So when you crush a human skull, it's not really gray matter. It's white brain matter that oozes

00:19:19.300 out. What's your point? No, I'm asking you a question. Is, is the brain matter that oozes

00:19:25.000 out when you crush a human skull white? What does it matter? You've described what I do. So what is

00:19:30.920 your point? My point is that it intentionally kills an innocent human being. Would you concede the

00:19:36.680 point? It intent? I started my, my mate, my first concession was to your first two syllogisms that

00:19:44.040 abortion, uh, kills a human being. It is the intentional disruption of a pregnancy. It kills 1.00

00:19:50.200 human being. How many innocent human beings have you intentionally killed in your life's work?

00:19:55.320 I don't know. I don't measure my work. I don't, uh, uh, if it's a million, 20,000, what's the

00:20:06.040 difference? What's the difference between 20,000 and 30,000, 10,000 dead human beings. That's the

00:20:11.220 difference. Okay. So you see the abortionist admits that it is the killing of a human being.

00:20:20.360 He says that crushing skulls is an accurate description of what he does. Remember Dr.

00:20:29.040 Dr. Adams says, okay, well, you're crushing a skull, the brain's ooze out. And, and, um,

00:20:34.040 Willie Parker says, I won't call him doctor. Willie Parker says, uh, well, you're just,

00:20:39.380 you're describing what I do. So you don't have, the point is you don't have to search hard. You don't

00:20:46.280 have to spend a lot of time to discover that even the people in the abortion industry admit if you

00:20:52.560 catch them at the right moment in the right mood, um, they will admit that this is what they do.

00:20:59.100 This is killing that they kill people. It is violence. It is death. It is bloody. It is gruesome.

00:21:05.500 That is what they do in the abortion industry itself. Um, they're not having debates about

00:21:14.460 personhood, right? They know that they're killing people, persons. They know that they're not, 0.98

00:21:21.900 you know, those are debates for the rubes, for the pro-abortion rubes, uh, who are being manipulated.

00:21:30.800 They're going to have those debates and make those kinds of arguments. 1.00

00:21:33.900 The people in the abortion industry, they know they're not that stupid. They know better. 1.00

00:21:37.440 All right. Um, but if, look, as I'm saying, if you can watch a video like that, what I just played

00:21:48.360 for you and be on Willie Parker's side, I mean, if you can watch that and come away from it and say,

00:21:57.800 yeah, I'm on that guy's side, the guy who has lost track of the number of human beings he killed,

00:22:03.720 he's killed and doesn't even think the body count matters. Um, if you're going to be on his side,

00:22:08.800 then I, again, how can you, how could I call you a decent person? I mean, the word, the phrase

00:22:16.180 decent person would lose all meaning if I could apply it to someone who supports that. All right.

00:22:24.300 Um, a little bit more liberal madness to talk about here. Uh, uh, transgender sprinters, 1.00

00:22:30.080 that is male sprinters, guys, dudes, fellas. Uh, they, they finished first and second at the

00:22:37.400 girls indoor track championships in, uh, in Connecticut a few days ago. Um, and this is,

00:22:44.840 we, we see these headlines of course, all the time. Now, these particular, at least one of these guys,

00:22:49.060 I think both of them, but at least one of them was in the headlines last year for winning, uh,

00:22:55.320 track, the girls track championships last year. It might've been outdoor,

00:22:58.480 the spring events last year. Uh, so this guy is just, he's just dominating. He's just dominating

00:23:04.360 the, uh, the female circuit up in Connecticut, um, racing all these, these girls who, uh, 1.00

00:23:11.700 you know, I laugh at just the absurdity of it because what else can you do? But it's actually

00:23:15.140 not funny because these girls are being, they're, they're having, you know, these girls are working 1.00

00:23:19.760 hard. Um, I ran track, you know, I ran against men when I was, when I was in high school and it's a,

00:23:27.460 it's hard. I mean, to running is hard and to be a competitive runner is a hard thing. It's very

00:23:32.660 challenging. It takes a lot of work, a lot of effort, a lot of exercise, eating right. I mean,

00:23:38.000 you're running all the time. It's, it's a really difficult sport. Um, and these girls are working 1.00

00:23:44.420 their butts off and, uh, and putting everything they have into it. And, but all for nothing

00:23:51.620 because they can't compete against the guy. They, they, they, they, they biologically,

00:23:57.120 physically can't. If you compare, you look at any state, right. And you, you compare, um,

00:24:04.040 you look at the girls, uh, championships in whatever, in any track event, whether it's the

00:24:10.180 200 meter or the 800 meter or the mile, whatever it is. And you could, you look at the boys versus the

00:24:14.920 girls. Um, and assuming that they're actually, that they actually are all boys and all girls 0.96

00:24:22.100 and you compare the top times, um, for the boys to the girls. And it's just like you,

00:24:32.000 a time that would get you first place in a girls event, you wouldn't even make it onto the track in 1.00

00:24:41.120 the boys event, in the boys champion. You wouldn't even place, you wouldn't even get sixth place.

00:24:45.900 That's how much of a gap there is. And this is not an, this is not an insult. I'm not insulting,

00:24:50.840 uh, girls or anything. No, no, it's just, it's, it's, there, there are biological limitations. 0.98

00:24:57.920 Men are simply built in a certain way where they're going to be faster and stronger.

00:25:04.080 And so these girls have no chance and all of their hard work is being stolen. And this is, 1.00

00:25:15.720 this is cheating is what it is. But here's the interesting thing. Look, I saw, I saw this story

00:25:20.780 on Twitter, uh, saw whatever news outlet reported it. And this is, this is all anecdotal of course,

00:25:27.920 but I, you know, I, I looked at the comments under the, under the headline. And in fact,

00:25:34.500 I looked at a few, I, I, I went and checked a few headlines about this particular story. Um,

00:25:39.140 these transgenders winning against the girls. And I was looking at the comments on Twitter and every

00:25:47.060 single comment I saw was, was expressing some version of this is crazy. This is cheating. Totally

00:25:55.240 ridiculous. I feel bad for those girls. Every single comment, hundreds of comments. I couldn't 1.00

00:26:01.060 find one single person. And I know again, it's anecdotal, but I, I could not in my brief check,

00:26:07.360 I could not find one single person who was defending this and defending these guys and saying, yeah,

00:26:12.940 I think this is right. Yeah. I think we should have guys racing against girls and taking their

00:26:16.700 championships. And that's interesting, isn't it? Because we're told that this is a controversial

00:26:21.380 issue. And for any other controversial issue, whether it's abortion or anything else,

00:26:25.800 if I go on Twitter and I can easily find people on all sides of it, expressing all the different views.

00:26:32.220 But with something like this, it's very difficult to actually find a real human being, uh, who will

00:26:38.120 come out and say, yeah, I'm in favor of this. I think it's a good idea.

00:26:44.600 When you do a quick survey of what everyone's saying about a topic like this, it seems like

00:26:48.600 everybody is against it. Nobody thinks that this makes sense.

00:26:55.140 And what does that tell you? It tells you that when it comes to this issue, especially

00:26:59.740 the transgenderism, and especially when it comes to, you know, to boys invading 0.88

00:27:04.880 girls' sports and girls' locker rooms and girls' bathrooms, what you have is a tiny, tiny,

00:27:12.000 tiny minority, which has imposed its will on the majority. This is the, the tiniest minority of

00:27:22.080 people. And I'm not speaking just about the, the, the, the trans, the transgenders themselves who,

00:27:28.020 who themselves are a tiny minority, but then you also have a tiny minority, um, the, in the LGBT lobby

00:27:34.560 who are pushing this, the kind of extremist LGBT activists. They're the ones, this is their agenda. 1.00

00:27:44.600 This is what they want. And they are in a, obviously in a very small minority, yet they're getting their

00:27:53.820 way. And there's no reason for it. There, there's no reason to allow this. If, if the, uh, if the,

00:28:04.720 if, if, if, if the folks up there in Connecticut were to pass a rule saying, you know what, we're

00:28:12.020 done with this. If you're, if you're, if you are a biological male, you cannot compete against girls.

00:28:17.120 If they were to pass that rule in Connecticut, 99%, it seems of the country and of the people in

00:28:24.440 Connecticut would be totally in favor of it. And they would say, that makes a lot of sense.

00:28:28.340 There would only be that one crazy percent that says, no, I, this, this is, this is a bigoted,

00:28:35.260 this is unfair to those boys who now aren't going to have the opportunity to race against girls.

00:28:39.960 You would have that one loud, but small percent. And there's no reason to listen to them. They don't

00:28:46.460 really have any, they only have the power we give them. That's the thing.

00:28:54.040 So it's kind of even more pathetic in a way. On one hand, I'm glad that we don't live in a country 0.98

00:29:00.200 yet where a majority of people are in favor of something like this. But on the other hand,

00:29:05.620 it's really pitiful and sad when you think about it, that almost all of us disagree with it,

00:29:11.180 yet we're just going along with it anyway. All right. I'm going to jump ahead to, to some of

00:29:21.240 your emails now, mattwalshow at gmail.com, mattwalshow at gmail.com. If you want to offer

00:29:27.920 your opinions, questions, whatever it may be. And a bunch of interesting emails. So I want to get to

00:29:34.720 them before we run out of time. This is from Brandon. It says, Dear Matt, why does the Libertarian

00:29:39.220 Party suck at everything? Well, you know, Brandon, I think, I think the Libertarian Party has two 0.96

00:29:46.800 problems. Actually three. The first is that everyone's high all the time. So I think that's

00:29:51.000 getting in the way. Second is the perceived lack of cogency or focus. I have noticed, it's interesting

00:29:57.660 when you think about it, that the Libertarian Party has not gained more attention and attracted

00:30:04.580 more people. But I think it's, most people can't figure out exactly what the Libertarian Party is or

00:30:10.000 what libertarianism is or what it stands for. And I think libertarians themselves don't know exactly.

00:30:16.340 Especially when it comes to these really hot button, important social issues, like for instance,

00:30:21.860 abortion. Now, libertarians should be the first ones getting up there and saying, this is wrong,

00:30:28.860 because libertarianism is supposed to be, you know, the do no harm, right? The anti-aggression 0.71

00:30:35.300 principle is supposed to stand for individual liberty. And when you have something that is an

00:30:40.940 assault on human life, then that obviously is also an assault on liberty. So and there are some pro-life

00:30:46.120 libertarians, but they're also radically pro-choice libertarians. And if you don't have a coherent

00:30:52.100 viewpoint on an issue as fundamental and important as that, then it's going to be really hard for people

00:30:58.680 for you to attract people because people, everyone else, we don't know what you're all about.

00:31:03.940 And the third thing is, I think Libertarian Party needs more compelling figures to carry its banner.

00:31:13.660 I mean, Gary Johnson, who is the Libertarian Party now? Gary Johnson? It's the Libertarian Party. You need

00:31:21.920 to find someone who's young, exciting, interesting, kind of weird. That's what the Libertarian Party should be.

00:31:27.860 Not Gary Johnson. This is from Gareth, says, Hi, Matt, big fan of your show. I love your dry humor and down-to-earth

00:31:36.180 and common-sense approach to religion and politics. I've noticed that it seems like Daily Wire is giving you

00:31:40.140 more lately with a table to sit at and a fancy new microphone. And actually, the microphone's gone, as you

00:31:46.360 noticed. And yesterday, you even got to have a sponsor. Is there any chance Ben will let you in the studio to do a

00:31:52.040 backstage with the other guys? Yeah, I've been going to the studio every day for the last year

00:31:59.220 and a half, and it's been locked. But in fact, recently, they let me in the lobby, but they lock

00:32:04.480 the doors to get actually back into the studio. So I'm making my... No, actually, you see, what's

00:32:10.860 actually... The interference here is 3,000 miles where I live on the East Coast, and the Daily Wire is

00:32:17.300 headquartered out there in Los Angeles. So that's where the separation comes from. Although, I will

00:32:27.260 mention that I will soon be a part of one of the backstage shows, so I'm looking forward to that.

00:32:32.840 But I have to fly all the way out there for that. So that's the only thing.

00:32:36.140 This is from Mike. It says, Yesterday, you said that you approve of alcohol and tobacco use for

00:32:43.980 relaxing when done responsibly and in moderation. The same rationale could be used to justify

00:32:48.260 marijuana use. I'm curious what your position is on this, since some people prefer to smoke weed to

00:32:53.040 relax instead of drinking whiskey. That's an interesting question, Mike. I don't know the answer.

00:32:59.980 I don't know enough about it to answer. I've always thought that there's a definite difference

00:33:04.540 between alcohol and marijuana or tobacco and marijuana, certainly, in that alcohol, for one

00:33:09.580 thing, is a much more, at least my impression, a much more social substance. And it seems that

00:33:14.800 you can have one drink and be barely affected by it at all, just feeling a little bit relaxed. But

00:33:20.160 other than that, you're completely lucid and fine. Whereas marijuana, it seems, will have a much more

00:33:25.300 profound effect much quicker. But whenever I've made that argument, I've been informed by people who

00:33:32.820 smoke marijuana, that I'm totally wrong and I don't know what I'm talking about. And maybe that's

00:33:36.740 true. I don't smoke the stuff personally, so I suppose I'm just giving my general impression,

00:33:41.020 which could be wrong. I will say, this is what I'll say, okay? I think a substance can be perfectly

00:33:47.100 fine, perfectly moral, and even actively wholesome in a certain context, if it is possible to consume it

00:33:56.280 without being intoxicated by it, losing control of your reason and your senses, and if it is not

00:34:03.340 physically dangerous, at least within moderation, if it's not immediately addictive, and if it has

00:34:10.200 some positive effect, such as, as I mentioned, facilitating healthy social interaction, relaxation,

00:34:16.080 and so on. So whatever that applies to, I would say, in moderation, it would seem to me to be

00:34:22.760 perfectly moral. Does that apply to marijuana? I have thought no, but I could be wrong. So I'm not

00:34:31.840 sure. This is from Derek. Hi, Matt. I'm a huge fan of your show. I love the religious and political

00:34:38.420 commentary, but must admit, my favorite part are your rants about the idiosyncrasies of marriage

00:34:42.620 and the ever-elusive male understanding of the female psyche. My wife is a soap addict as well. The 0.87

00:34:48.340 struggle is real. Yes, it is. I just wanted to offer an opinion about the Bill Maher clip from

00:34:53.800 yesterday. I agree with everything you said, but what stuck out to me most was how thoroughly

00:34:58.540 convinced he is that all of the feelings he mentioned are universally desirable. What sheer

00:35:04.580 and utter arrogance to assume you know what other people desire. I was born and raised as a liberal in

00:35:10.260 California. I have a career that keeps my family and I moving around the country quite a bit. I have

00:35:15.300 lived in many major cities, most in very blue areas. When I retire, my wife and I plan to move

00:35:19.820 to the country, buy a piece of land, own 12 dogs, and enjoy the tranquility of rural America until we

00:35:24.960 die. My point being, I have experienced living in all sorts of geographic economic regions and can say

00:35:30.840 with objective certainty that I desire the rural life. In this clip, Maher says there's no CSI Lubbock.

00:35:37.540 It turns out that exorbitant amounts of murder don't take place in rural America.

00:35:41.100 Interesting fact, Lubbock is where Buddy Holly was born. He can keep the red carpet that all of those

00:35:47.360 self-aggrandizing narcissists he is so fond of like to walk down. It seems he just can't conceive of

00:35:52.420 people valuing church, family, and community more than a Tesla. They wear Target instead of Louis Vuitton,

00:35:58.760 not because they're downtrodden, but because they know the true value of material items and couldn't

00:36:03.100 give a rip about whose name is embroidered on the rear end. They'd probably be far happier spending the

00:36:08.320 money they'd saved buying Target clothes on Budweiser or whatever other beer Bill finds beneath his

00:36:13.720 standards. I dislike the two Americas perspective as well. There are good and not so good people from 1.00

00:36:19.040 every walk of life. I dislike vast generalizations, but for Bill, I will make an exception. The difference

00:36:24.800 between elitist celebrities like Bill Maher and red staters is that elitist celebrities like Bill look down on

00:36:30.200 the rest of the country, making fun of it with unwarranted hubris and misguided disdain. The red staters, 1.00

00:36:35.640 while often in a similar state of disbelief of the chosen lifestyles of their fellow Americans,

00:36:39.840 offer people like him prayers in return. Thanks for what you do. Keep up the good work.

00:36:45.560 Very eloquently put, Derek. I wish that maybe you should just be doing the show because I think you

00:36:49.660 had a lot more interesting things to say about that clip than I did. And that is one thing that

00:36:54.880 struck me as well when you're watching that clip and especially the red carpet line where Bill

00:37:00.440 Mark says, we have red carpets. Okay. You think the rest of us want red carpets? You think that's

00:37:06.360 what we care about? We have celebrities. It is Bill really doesn't understand that most people don't

00:37:13.680 care about that. I don't care to live in a place where, oh, there's a celebrity. What is a celebrity?

00:37:19.980 A celebrity is just a person who a lot of people are aware of. That's all a celebrity is.

00:37:25.720 So I don't need to live in a place where there are a lot of people who a lot of other people are

00:37:35.120 aware of. Who cares? It doesn't make them bad people. It doesn't make them good people. It's

00:37:40.300 a totally neutral thing. It could be that whatever you do for a living, if it happens to be in the

00:37:45.760 public eye, a lot of people will be aware of you. Who cares? And I think, Derek, the point you bring up

00:37:53.320 is a good one, that Bill is so disconnected from the experience of many average people

00:38:02.660 that he really doesn't understand, that we don't care about that.

00:38:10.460 If we did, we could easily. Look, if any one of us wanted to move to California, we could.

00:38:14.980 But we live where we live as a choice, right? Well, some of us. I mean, I do live on the East

00:38:23.140 Coast, and so I live in a more liberal area. I mean, you know, there are aspects of where you live

00:38:28.220 that is, but the point is, if it was really, here's what I mean, if it was really a priority,

00:38:32.200 like if we, you know, if we listened to that rant from Bill Maher, and we said, yes, that's what I

00:38:37.460 want. Yeah, that's what I, Wolfgang Puck and red carpets, and I want to be around that. I got to be

00:38:42.620 around that. Organic food, you know. If we really cared about that, and it was a huge priority in

00:38:49.540 our life, then we could move and go and pursue that. But we just don't. So that's all. All right.

00:38:57.420 Thanks for that email, Derek, and thanks everybody for listening and watching. Godspeed.

00:39:12.620 Hey, everybody. It's Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. The left keeps screaming

00:39:20.480 orange man bad, but right now, orange man is outwitting the left by being a little less the

00:39:27.020 Donald and a little more President Trump. That's on The Andrew Klavan Show. I'm Andrew Klavan.
