Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Democrats have once again proven that they are a radical anti-science cult
00:00:06.260
with the passage of something they call the Equality Act, which would, among other things,
00:00:11.480
force women's sports teams to allow men. So we'll talk about that.
00:00:15.920
Also, Mayor Pete is supposed to be this moderate, reasonable Democrat.
00:00:20.480
So why is he advocating for abortion in the third trimester?
00:00:24.080
We'll discuss that as well, among other things, today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000
All right, hope you had a great, magnificent, tremendous weekend.
00:00:36.400
You know, mine was pretty good. It was a good weekend for the most part.
00:00:39.220
There was one disturbing aspect of it. I took my kids out yesterday to the lake.
00:00:45.240
Beautiful day, hot day, went to the lake, did a little bit of fishing.
00:00:48.380
That's not the disturbing part. The disturbing was on the way home when I got this idea.
00:00:53.640
I was really excited because it was such a hot day.
00:00:55.180
And I said, you know, I had this idea that I'm going to get them a nice treat.
00:01:00.460
I'm going to get them slushies from the gas station.
00:01:02.580
My kids have never had slushies before. They're five years old.
00:01:05.020
The twins are. They've gone through five years of life and never had a slushie.
00:01:07.900
So I was really excited. As a kid, slushies were one of my favorite childhood treats,
00:01:18.740
I'm hyping it up a lot and saying, oh, this is this.
00:01:22.540
I love this when I was your age. You guys are going to love this.
00:01:25.140
And I get them the slushies and they don't like slushies.
00:01:31.520
I would have killed a man for a slushie when I was their age, literally.
00:01:35.940
And they said it tastes like soda fizz, which, yeah, that's the point.
00:01:45.260
And there's nothing more difficult than that as a parent when there's something that you cherish from your childhood
00:01:52.400
and you're so excited to tell your kids about it and to introduce them to it and they don't like it.
00:01:56.400
It's similar to the first time I showed my kids the movie Babe,
00:01:59.660
which was one of my favorite movies growing up as a kid, and they didn't like that movie.
00:02:03.520
Now, the talking pig movie, they like Peppa the pig, which is, you know, that's the British pig.
00:02:09.860
They like that. They don't like the American pig.
00:02:12.420
So what I'm beginning, and they don't like slushies, they don't like American pigs, American talking pigs anyway.
00:02:18.080
So I'm getting this vibe that my kids are communists, basically.
00:02:23.860
The Russians got to them somehow, and I'm just as horrified by it as you are.
00:02:29.720
All right, several big topics to get into today, but first I want to tell you about Helix Sleep.
00:02:36.160
You know, we got one of these mattresses ourselves,
00:02:38.920
and I feel like I'm a good person to offer an endorsement of it because I'm usually not a great sleeper.
00:02:43.640
I have back issues, shoulder issues, mental issues.
00:02:49.020
The mattress didn't do anything for the mental issues, I have to say.
00:02:53.240
But as for the back and shoulder problems, it's been great.
00:02:57.120
Gives me kind of the firm support that I need when I'm sleeping,
00:02:59.840
but it's also a soft mattress at the same time.
00:03:04.420
And I've been sleeping like a baby on it ever since.
00:03:06.980
Well, not like an infant because they don't sleep,
00:03:08.600
but more like a one or two-year-old I've been sleeping.
00:03:10.820
Helix Sleep has a quiz that takes just two minutes to complete,
00:03:14.400
matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you.
00:03:23.500
The whole mattress shopping experience becomes easier.
00:03:26.340
Whether you're a side sleeper, hot sleeper, you like a plush or firm bed with Helix,
00:03:32.000
Helix Sleep is rated the number one mattress by GQ and Wired magazine.
00:03:36.040
And CNN calls it the most comfortable mattress they've ever slept on.
00:03:38.960
Just go to helixsleep.com slash Walsh, take their two-minute sleep quiz,
00:03:43.060
and they'll match you to a customized mattress that will give you the best sleep of your life.
00:03:47.680
And for couples, Helix can even split the mattress down the middle,
00:03:50.840
providing individual support needs and feel preferences for each side.
00:03:54.420
They have a 10-year warranty, and you get to try it out for 100 nights risk-free.
00:03:58.700
They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it.
00:04:01.320
So, but you will love it, so you don't have to worry about that.
00:04:03.780
Helix is offering up to $125 off all mattress orders for our listeners right now.

00:04:12.560
That's helixsleep.com slash Walsh for up to $125 off your mattress.
00:04:19.700
Okay, so the Democrats in the House on Friday voted unanimously to pass something
00:04:24.500
that they are, in true Orwellian fashion, calling the Equality Act.
00:04:29.880
And in so doing, they have proven yet again, as if we needed more proof,
00:04:35.160
that the Democrat Party is a radical anti-science cult.
00:04:42.460
Of course, it's not going to become law because it's not going to make it through the Senate,
00:04:47.680
But it does show what will certainly happen if the Democrats ever control the entire government again.
00:04:59.920
But now, the whole Democrat Party is radical, extreme.
00:05:07.140
Even the ones who get credit for being moderate are really just as crazy as the rest of them.
00:05:12.860
And a good example of that is good old Mayor Pete, who we'll talk about in a minute.
00:05:21.900
The law would expand the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ban discrimination, quote-unquote,
00:05:30.380
based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
00:05:35.880
That's already illegal, but on gender identity.
00:05:40.140
But what is discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity?
00:05:45.440
Well, there's plenty that is left vague in the bill, and intentionally so.
00:05:49.440
It doesn't specifically say, for instance, that a Christian baker would have to bake a cake for a gay wedding.
00:05:54.940
But that is the implication, because this would codify into law the idea that any form of discrimination
00:06:00.280
against someone based on sexual orientation is an infringement on their fundamental human rights.
00:06:05.800
And if that's an infringement on their fundamental human rights,
00:06:08.400
then is it an infringement of their rights to refuse to bake a cake?
00:06:13.360
Not based on any coherent or rational definition of human rights.
00:06:18.500
But the Democrats are not working from a coherent and rational definition of human rights.
00:06:28.980
And so I think that's part of the implication of this law.
00:06:35.060
Discrimination can occur on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition of an individual,
00:06:47.280
Each of these factors alone can serve as the basis for discrimination, and each is a form of sex discrimination.
00:06:52.680
So they're establishing gender identity in that realm of sex discrimination.
00:07:00.200
A single instance of discrimination may have more than one basis, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:04.960
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer, referred to as LGBTQ people,
00:07:10.780
commonly experience discrimination in securing access to public accommodations,
00:07:14.640
including restaurants, senior centers, stores, places of or establishments that provide entertainment,
00:07:20.140
health care facilities, shelters, government offices, youth service providers,
00:07:24.580
including adoption and foster care providers, and transportation.
00:07:27.640
Forms of discrimination include the exclusion and denial of entry, unequal or unfair treatment, harassment, and violence.
00:07:33.420
This discrimination prevents the full participation.
00:07:37.180
This discrimination prevents the full participation of LGBTQ people in society and disrupts the free flow of commerce.
00:07:51.600
does that mean that that prevents the participation of the LGBTQ person in society and disrupts commerce?
00:08:01.380
Again, obviously not, but from the perspective of these crazy Democrats, yeah.
00:08:17.560
okay, these are fundamental human rights and you can't be discriminated.
00:08:25.280
yes, cake bakers would be in trouble with a law like this.
00:08:29.100
Any Christian business owner would be in trouble.
00:08:42.300
the Equality Act would force employers to cover abortion
00:08:45.540
and medical professionals to perform or assist in performing abortions.
00:08:51.020
the Equality Act would force employers to pay for sex reassignment procedures
00:08:54.560
in their health insurance plans and require medical professionals to perform them.
00:08:59.580
the Equality Act would force all schools and businesses
00:09:10.580
the Equality Act could be used to force the military
00:09:21.540
the Equality Act would force faith-based adoption agencies
00:09:25.500
that every child deserves both a mother and father
00:09:27.580
or to stop serving children in need altogether.
00:09:31.220
the Equality Act would force a variety of small business owners
00:09:33.800
to violate their beliefs about marriage, sexuality, and gender.
00:09:51.880
The main and most immediate and explicit thing this bill does,
00:10:17.880
if someone says the moon is made of marshmallows,
