00:00:00.000 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,
00:01:13.240 especially on a hot day having a slushie.
00:01:15.880 I mean, nothing beats it, right?
00:01:17.140 So I take them into the gas station.
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.
00:01:28.820 My kids, five years old.
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.
00:01:41.600 And they didn't like them.
00:01:42.700 So this is just, it was crushing for me.
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.
00:02:20.800 And I didn't raise them that way.
00:02:22.400 That's not, it's not my fault.
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.
00:02:47.000 I'm falling apart.
00:02:49.020 The mattress didn't do anything for the mental issues, I have to say.
00:02:51.720 You got to talk to a counselor for that.
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.
00:03:02.960 Really the best of both worlds.
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.
00:03:18.180 Very simple.
00:03:18.880 I took the quiz myself.
00:03:19.880 It just takes a couple minutes.
00:03:21.960 It's, and it makes it a lot easier.
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,
00:03:29.740 there's no confusion, no more compromising.
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.
00:04:08.900 Get up to $125 off at helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
00:04:12.560 That's helixsleep.com slash Walsh for up to $125 off your mattress.
00:04:16.940 Helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
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.
00:04:39.940 The legislation is absurd and horrifying.
00:04:42.460 Of course, it's not going to become law because it's not going to make it through the Senate,
00:04:46.200 and there's no way Trump would sign it.
00:04:47.680 But it does show what will certainly happen if the Democrats ever control the entire government again.
00:04:53.300 Because this thing passed unanimously.
00:04:55.920 It would not have done that a few years ago.
00:04:58.320 It would have been seen as too radical.
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.
00:05:19.200 But let's talk about what this law does.
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.
00:05:34.180 Not gender.
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?
00:06:11.960 Well, obviously it isn't.
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.
00:06:24.520 So, from their perspective, yes, it is.
00:06:28.980 And so I think that's part of the implication of this law.
00:06:31.240 Let me read a little bit from the bill itself.
00:06:34.360 It says,
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,
00:06:44.740 as well as because of sex-based stereotypes.
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.
00:06:57.240 It goes on,
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.
00:07:35.700 Now, here's the important part.
00:07:37.180 This discrimination prevents the full participation of LGBTQ people in society and disrupts the free flow of commerce.
00:07:44.720 Now, if a Christian business owner says,
00:07:49.640 I don't want to partake in the gay wedding,
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.
00:08:09.000 And then it goes on,
00:08:10.620 I'm not going to read this whole thing,
00:08:12.360 but it just establishes this idea that,
00:08:17.560 okay, these are fundamental human rights and you can't be discriminated.
00:08:23.200 And it becomes clear that,
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.
00:08:31.440 Over at the Daily Signal,
00:08:33.660 Ryan T. Anderson, one of my favorite writers,
00:08:36.040 summarizes some of the objectives of the law.
00:08:38.680 I'll read his bullet points for you.
00:08:40.420 Yeah, he says, number one,
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.
00:08:50.420 Number two,
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.
00:08:58.760 Number three,
00:08:59.580 the Equality Act would force all schools and businesses
00:09:01.900 to open their women's bathrooms,
00:09:03.960 locker rooms,
00:09:04.540 showers,
00:09:04.940 and sports teams to boys who identify as girls
00:09:07.220 and to men who identify as women.
00:09:10.040 Four,
00:09:10.580 the Equality Act could be used to force the military
00:09:13.280 to pay for reassignment procedures
00:09:15.140 and force the military to accept recruits
00:09:17.460 suffering from gender dysphoria
00:09:18.740 who are not combat ready.
00:09:21.100 Five,
00:09:21.540 the Equality Act would force faith-based adoption agencies
00:09:24.040 to either violate their conviction
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.
00:09:30.780 Six,
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.
00:09:36.980 Seven,
00:09:37.300 the Equality Act in general
00:09:38.440 threatens the freedom of speech,
00:09:40.160 freedom of association,
00:09:41.080 and free exercise of religion
00:09:42.700 of countless people.
00:09:46.760 Okay,
00:09:47.200 so let's go through a couple of things here.
00:09:51.880 The main and most immediate and explicit thing this bill does,
00:09:55.860 it seems,
00:09:57.000 is force everyone in society,
00:09:59.760 all institutions,
00:10:01.100 schools,
00:10:01.580 businesses,
00:10:01.940 etc.,
00:10:02.940 to pretend that a biological male
00:10:05.900 who claims to be a girl
00:10:07.580 really is a girl.
00:10:09.660 This is a law that says
00:10:11.180 if a dude says he's a girl,
00:10:13.100 then he's a girl.
00:10:14.920 Which,
00:10:15.560 logically,
00:10:16.140 is no different from a law that says
00:10:17.880 if someone says the moon is made of marshmallows,
00:10:21.160 then it is.
00:10:23.280 If they say it,
00:10:24.580 then it's true,
00:10:25.580 and you have to acknowledge
00:10:27.000 and affirm that truth,
00:10:28.980 or you are infringing on their rights.
00:10:30.600 which is madness.
00:10:34.520 It is trying to impose
00:10:36.160 a biological unreality
00:10:38.200 onto society.
00:10:39.880 In the process,
00:10:41.140 it would, of course,
00:10:41.780 destroy women's sports
00:10:42.860 because it would mean that any dude
00:10:44.400 who wants to join a girl's sports team
00:10:46.200 can just walk in,
00:10:47.860 no questions asked.
00:10:49.820 It's not even like
00:10:50.620 they have to be on hormones
00:10:51.700 or they have to have already done
00:10:52.640 the sex change or whatever.
00:10:55.040 Sex change, of course,
00:10:55.980 this is euphemistically named.
00:10:58.300 There's no such thing
00:10:59.080 as a sex change operation
00:11:00.440 or sex reassignment.
00:11:03.220 Just think about that phrase for a minute.
00:11:05.040 Sex reassignment.
00:11:06.660 Like, you can just reassign your sex.
00:11:08.760 I'm not going to reassign it.
00:11:11.280 You can't.
00:11:12.080 Sex is not assigned
00:11:13.640 in the first place.
00:11:14.720 It's just what,
00:11:15.580 it's who you are,
00:11:16.400 it's what you are.
00:11:17.040 There's no assigning that goes on.
00:11:18.980 It's just what you are.
00:11:20.860 You might as well say,
00:11:22.320 I'm going to do a height reassignment.
00:11:26.100 I'm going to reassign,
00:11:27.060 I've been assigned to be six foot one,
00:11:29.500 but I want to be eight foot three.
00:11:31.120 And so I'm going to reassign my height.
00:11:34.360 It makes no sense.
00:11:38.220 So they're saying
00:11:39.160 this is a fundamental human right
00:11:40.540 and a man who says he's a girl
00:11:44.720 has a fundamental human right
00:11:46.720 to force everyone to pretend
00:11:48.460 that he's something he isn't.
00:11:50.560 Now, even worse
00:11:51.540 is the danger that it puts
00:11:53.520 women and girls in
00:11:55.980 because under this law,
00:11:57.480 it is now a fundamental human right
00:11:59.560 of a man to walk into
00:12:01.320 any girl's bathroom,
00:12:02.500 no questions asked.
00:12:03.960 If you try to prevent him,
00:12:05.960 you're infringing on his rights
00:12:07.360 as a human being.
00:12:10.700 I mean,
00:12:12.240 liberals have been shrieking
00:12:14.480 about how a woman's autonomy
00:12:16.200 and her right to her body
00:12:18.120 and her right to privacy
00:12:19.560 are being stolen by laws
00:12:22.220 that simply prevent her
00:12:23.120 from killing her children.
00:12:24.940 But now these very same charlatans
00:12:27.100 in the Democrat Party
00:12:28.440 are going to really infringe
00:12:30.980 on a woman's right to privacy
00:12:32.400 by allowing men into her bathrooms
00:12:35.160 and her locker rooms.
00:12:37.740 Remember, abortion,
00:12:39.640 the so-called supposed right to abortion
00:12:41.820 that was located in 1973
00:12:43.640 by an all-male Supreme Court.
00:12:46.740 They found the right to abortion
00:12:48.760 in the right to privacy,
00:12:50.320 which also is not actually
00:12:52.580 in the Constitution.
00:12:54.580 But if the right to privacy
00:12:56.160 means anything,
00:12:57.420 I mean, if we have a right to privacy,
00:12:59.260 then wouldn't you have that right
00:13:01.540 in a bathroom,
00:13:02.560 in a locker room?
00:13:05.240 Isn't that one of the main areas
00:13:07.860 in life where you,
00:13:09.100 if there is such a thing
00:13:10.160 as a right to privacy,
00:13:10.960 you would want to be able
00:13:12.040 to call upon it
00:13:13.060 and say,
00:13:14.080 I am claiming my right to privacy.
00:13:16.040 But no, they're saying,
00:13:16.860 no, you don't have any right
00:13:17.620 to privacy there.
00:13:18.300 If a dude wants to come in
00:13:19.700 and he says he's a girl,
00:13:21.920 then that's it.
00:13:23.220 He's a girl.
00:13:27.540 And what do they do?
00:13:28.580 I was just thinking about this,
00:13:29.840 but because we're told
00:13:32.340 that there are countless genders.
00:13:35.060 You know,
00:13:35.300 there are an unlimited number of genders.
00:13:39.020 So what if somebody just makes up
00:13:41.760 a new gender
00:13:44.340 and says,
00:13:46.460 I'm going to walk into the women's.
00:13:49.580 What do you do with that?
00:13:50.600 What do you do with someone
00:13:51.440 who says he's,
00:13:52.420 well, he's not a woman or a man.
00:13:54.380 He's a, you know,
00:13:55.160 he's a floppy doodle.
00:13:57.260 That's it.
00:13:57.680 That's my gender is floppy doodle.
00:13:59.400 And,
00:13:59.720 and he says,
00:14:01.180 I want to go into the,
00:14:03.160 do you have to make a new locker room
00:14:05.300 for floppy doodles?
00:14:06.120 Or can the floppy doodle
00:14:07.400 go wherever he wants?
00:14:08.820 How does that work?
00:14:10.140 I mean,
00:14:10.460 I'm saying that's my gender.
00:14:11.920 You can't tell me it's not.
00:14:13.580 Oh, you're telling me
00:14:14.580 I'm not a floppy doodle.
00:14:15.420 Well, how dare you?
00:14:16.860 That's what I identify as.
00:14:18.400 I feel it deep in my heart and soul
00:14:20.120 that I'm a floppy doodle
00:14:20.960 and you can't tell me otherwise.
00:14:22.480 Another thing about this is
00:14:29.180 you see how Democrats
00:14:30.240 are constantly trying to hijack
00:14:32.340 the civil rights struggle
00:14:33.520 in such a demeaning,
00:14:35.380 insulting,
00:14:37.600 borderline racist way
00:14:40.000 where
00:14:41.900 the civil rights act initially
00:14:45.580 was about
00:14:46.560 actually giving
00:14:49.300 equal rights
00:14:51.020 to black Americans
00:14:52.200 who
00:14:52.740 you know,
00:14:55.160 up until the middle of
00:14:56.560 the 19th century
00:14:58.140 were enslaved,
00:14:59.780 okay,
00:14:59.960 were treated as property
00:15:01.000 and then for another
00:15:02.580 100 years
00:15:03.480 thereafter
00:15:04.020 they were really
00:15:05.600 legally prevented
00:15:06.660 from participating
00:15:07.720 in society.
00:15:08.840 Not because
00:15:09.740 they weren't allowed
00:15:10.460 to go
00:15:11.100 into a women's bathroom
00:15:13.120 if they were a man
00:15:14.040 but no,
00:15:15.540 they couldn't go into
00:15:16.440 any public restroom
00:15:18.500 unless there was one
00:15:19.120 specifically for their race.
00:15:22.540 They were prevented
00:15:23.460 from taking,
00:15:24.620 they really were
00:15:25.380 prevented legally
00:15:26.360 from being recognized
00:15:27.880 as full American citizens,
00:15:29.700 as full human beings
00:15:30.860 and from enjoying
00:15:32.300 those rights and privileges.
00:15:34.060 And that obviously
00:15:35.340 was a terrible
00:15:36.400 evil injustice.
00:15:38.080 So,
00:15:38.520 part of the Civil Rights Act
00:15:39.720 was about
00:15:40.260 addressing that,
00:15:41.980 okay?
00:15:43.780 Now,
00:15:45.340 Democrats
00:15:46.400 and the radical left
00:15:47.780 and those of course
00:15:49.200 are the same groups
00:15:49.980 and trying to hijack
00:15:52.080 that struggle
00:15:52.620 by equating,
00:15:54.500 you know,
00:15:54.780 think about
00:15:55.560 the situation
00:15:56.320 that a black
00:15:56.980 man
00:15:58.100 or woman
00:15:58.900 would have been in
00:15:59.740 in,
00:16:01.260 you know,
00:16:01.620 say the 1950s
00:16:02.680 before the Civil Rights Act
00:16:04.220 and they're trying
00:16:06.040 to say
00:16:06.460 that,
00:16:07.580 what,
00:16:07.980 transgenders
00:16:08.940 are in the same spot?
00:16:11.520 No,
00:16:11.760 a so-called
00:16:12.800 transgender
00:16:13.560 person
00:16:14.820 can do
00:16:15.920 all of the things
00:16:16.980 that the rest of us
00:16:17.700 can do.
00:16:18.620 There's nothing
00:16:19.320 that you can't do.
00:16:20.860 You can go
00:16:21.760 do whatever you want,
00:16:22.680 you can say
00:16:23.000 whatever you want,
00:16:23.540 you can go anywhere,
00:16:24.360 you can take part
00:16:25.000 in any activity,
00:16:26.480 you can go
00:16:27.320 in any store,
00:16:28.300 you can participate
00:16:29.460 fully in society.
00:16:33.360 As far as
00:16:34.140 bathrooms
00:16:34.580 and locker rooms go,
00:16:36.560 you have the right
00:16:37.640 to go into
00:16:39.120 the locker room
00:16:40.080 or bathroom
00:16:40.420 that aligns
00:16:41.560 with your biological sex,
00:16:42.860 which is the same
00:16:43.900 right that the rest
00:16:44.540 of us have
00:16:45.080 and it's the same
00:16:46.020 limitation that the rest
00:16:47.100 of us have
00:16:47.520 that we're not allowed
00:16:48.300 to go into the locker room
00:16:49.220 or bathroom
00:16:49.600 that doesn't align
00:16:50.840 with our biological sex.
00:16:52.440 Neither can you.
00:16:53.900 So what's happening here
00:16:54.700 is the LGBT people,
00:16:55.820 again,
00:16:56.360 they're not looking
00:16:57.000 for equal rights,
00:16:57.700 they're looking
00:16:58.020 for special rights.
00:16:59.160 They want something
00:16:59.780 that the rest of us
00:17:00.540 don't have.
00:17:02.580 That is,
00:17:03.140 I don't have the ability
00:17:04.380 to go into
00:17:05.040 any bathroom I want.
00:17:07.460 But what the LGBT people
00:17:08.460 are saying,
00:17:08.840 they're saying,
00:17:10.020 I want that right
00:17:10.620 for myself.
00:17:11.080 I want to be able
00:17:11.600 to go into any bathroom,
00:17:13.860 man or woman,
00:17:14.620 either one.
00:17:16.260 And if you won't let me,
00:17:17.580 then you've basically
00:17:18.260 enslaved me.
00:17:19.120 I am like a slave now.
00:17:22.240 Such a cynical exploitation
00:17:24.140 of the very real struggles
00:17:26.380 of black Americans
00:17:28.920 in this country.
00:17:30.080 It's gross.
00:17:32.160 It's disgusting
00:17:32.780 to try to exploit it
00:17:35.840 in that way.
00:17:36.360 One other point here.
00:17:42.680 You know,
00:17:42.980 the full LGBT acronym
00:17:44.640 is,
00:17:46.960 right now,
00:17:47.820 it keeps expanding,
00:17:48.740 but right now,
00:17:49.380 I just looked it up.
00:17:50.160 The full acronym
00:17:50.840 right now is
00:17:52.080 LGBTTQQIAAP.
00:17:56.520 And that stands for
00:17:57.560 Lesbian, Gay,
00:17:58.520 Bisexual,
00:17:59.220 Transgender,
00:17:59.820 Transsexual,
00:18:00.560 Queer,
00:18:01.000 Questioning,
00:18:02.180 Intersex,
00:18:02.900 Asexual,
00:18:03.660 Ally,
00:18:04.320 Pansexual.
00:18:05.020 Okay,
00:18:07.000 so,
00:18:07.960 and when we talk about
00:18:09.040 you're not allowed
00:18:10.440 to discriminate
00:18:10.940 and they say LGBT,
00:18:12.320 that's really shorthand
00:18:13.260 for the whole acronym,
00:18:14.300 right?
00:18:14.480 So,
00:18:15.120 what does that mean?
00:18:17.620 You can't discriminate
00:18:18.520 against what?
00:18:19.340 So,
00:18:19.540 you can't discriminate
00:18:20.200 against questioning people?
00:18:22.380 What does it mean
00:18:23.100 to discriminate
00:18:23.700 against the questioning?
00:18:25.580 Are the questioning
00:18:26.920 being discriminated?
00:18:28.060 Is there anywhere
00:18:28.960 you can go in society
00:18:29.740 where there's a sign up
00:18:30.740 on a window,
00:18:31.560 no questioning people
00:18:32.780 allowed here?
00:18:34.300 Questioning people
00:18:35.000 may not apply.
00:18:36.860 I mean,
00:18:37.020 is that happening
00:18:37.680 anywhere?
00:18:39.020 Has anyone in this country
00:18:40.180 ever been discriminated
00:18:41.120 against for questioning?
00:18:43.060 What does that even mean?
00:18:44.540 Or ally?
00:18:45.700 You can't be,
00:18:46.540 no allies allowed.
00:18:48.160 Allies get out.
00:18:50.260 It's just,
00:18:50.880 it's completely ridiculous.
00:18:53.800 These,
00:18:54.200 most of the people
00:18:54.800 in this acronym,
00:18:56.100 it's not even,
00:18:56.700 you wouldn't even know
00:18:57.880 if you met a person
00:18:58.660 like that.
00:18:59.840 I don't even know
00:19:00.720 what discriminating
00:19:01.600 against them
00:19:02.100 would even mean.
00:19:02.940 Pansexual.
00:19:07.500 So,
00:19:08.000 pansexuals
00:19:09.240 are being discriminated
00:19:09.980 against?
00:19:10.920 How so?
00:19:14.900 And once again,
00:19:15.760 I mean,
00:19:16.040 if you don't go,
00:19:16.680 as long as you don't
00:19:17.240 go around announcing
00:19:18.100 to everyone,
00:19:18.560 hey,
00:19:18.760 I'm a pansexual.
00:19:20.140 Now,
00:19:20.360 if you say that
00:19:20.820 to most people,
00:19:21.420 they'll say,
00:19:21.860 okay,
00:19:22.180 whatever,
00:19:22.460 I don't even know
00:19:22.840 what that means.
00:19:24.040 Good for you.
00:19:25.480 Pansexual.
00:19:25.960 Are you attracted
00:19:26.540 to pancakes?
00:19:27.360 I honestly,
00:19:27.920 I don't know
00:19:28.280 what it means.
00:19:30.620 But,
00:19:31.140 you can be that.
00:19:33.680 No one cares,
00:19:34.800 really.
00:19:35.240 But you don't have
00:19:36.160 to go around
00:19:36.580 announcing it
00:19:37.400 any more than
00:19:39.160 I go around
00:19:40.020 announcing my own
00:19:40.760 sexual orientation.
00:19:41.660 I don't walk up
00:19:43.460 to someone and say,
00:19:44.320 hey,
00:19:44.440 my name's Matt,
00:19:45.060 heterosexual.
00:19:45.800 How are you?
00:19:46.700 I don't do that.
00:19:48.740 So,
00:19:49.540 because it's
00:19:50.200 none of their business,
00:19:51.240 it's inappropriate,
00:19:52.040 it's weird.
00:19:53.260 If you're a pansexual,
00:19:54.640 whatever that means,
00:19:56.120 you don't need to
00:19:57.020 necessarily announce that.
00:19:58.760 And if you don't,
00:19:59.660 then there wouldn't
00:20:00.360 even be any opportunity
00:20:01.380 for discrimination.
00:20:04.040 So,
00:20:04.500 the whole thing
00:20:04.980 is just
00:20:07.760 ridiculous.
00:20:09.680 All right.
00:20:10.340 Mayor Pete
00:20:11.080 was on Fox News
00:20:12.160 last night.
00:20:12.860 He did a
00:20:13.580 Fox News
00:20:15.300 town hall.
00:20:16.580 Wait,
00:20:16.740 now I really want
00:20:17.640 to know what
00:20:18.000 pansexual is.
00:20:19.100 Hold on.
00:20:21.100 I'm describing.
00:20:22.120 I don't think
00:20:22.880 it's attraction
00:20:23.360 to pancakes.
00:20:25.540 Uh,
00:20:27.020 okay,
00:20:27.340 so not limited
00:20:28.220 in sexual choice
00:20:29.140 with regard
00:20:29.600 to biological
00:20:30.280 sex,
00:20:30.920 gender,
00:20:31.320 or gender
00:20:31.840 identity.
00:20:33.040 So,
00:20:33.740 pansexual is
00:20:34.780 you're just
00:20:36.380 attracted to
00:20:37.280 any,
00:20:37.820 everybody,
00:20:38.360 um,
00:20:38.680 without any,
00:20:39.680 so no discrimination
00:20:40.680 there.
00:20:41.260 Okay,
00:20:41.500 so that's what
00:20:41.820 pansexual is.
00:20:42.840 Pansexuals can't be
00:20:43.760 discriminated against
00:20:45.020 either.
00:20:45.660 Uh,
00:20:46.140 not that that's
00:20:46.680 happening anywhere.
00:20:47.720 That's not actually
00:20:48.660 happening,
00:20:49.120 but now good,
00:20:49.860 now it definitely
00:20:50.400 can't happen.
00:20:51.040 So that's great.
00:20:51.880 Mayor Pete
00:20:52.380 was on Fox News
00:20:53.360 last night,
00:20:54.080 did a,
00:20:54.500 um,
00:20:55.520 a Fox News
00:20:56.120 town hall,
00:20:56.940 and remember,
00:20:57.620 this is supposed
00:20:58.120 to be the moderate,
00:21:00.600 reasonable,
00:21:02.180 Democrat character,
00:21:03.900 but watch this.
00:21:06.320 There's been a lot
00:21:06.900 of focus this week
00:21:08.020 about the states
00:21:09.360 that have voted
00:21:10.060 to restrict
00:21:10.860 women's rights,
00:21:11.640 but there's also
00:21:12.200 been a movement
00:21:12.680 in the other direction.
00:21:14.080 New York State
00:21:14.680 also this year
00:21:15.680 passed a new law
00:21:16.920 which significantly
00:21:18.600 increases a woman's
00:21:19.820 right to accept,
00:21:20.500 uh,
00:21:20.680 to an abortion.
00:21:21.200 It used to be
00:21:21.860 the exception was
00:21:22.860 at,
00:21:23.660 after,
00:21:24.420 I think it's 24 weeks,
00:21:25.440 to protect
00:21:26.180 the life of a woman.
00:21:27.700 Now the new law
00:21:28.460 is to protect
00:21:29.340 the health of a woman,
00:21:30.600 which is a much
00:21:31.600 more lenient standard.
00:21:33.160 And I guess the question
00:21:33.900 is,
00:21:34.780 do you believe
00:21:35.640 at any point
00:21:37.020 in pregnancy,
00:21:37.940 whether it's
00:21:38.460 six weeks
00:21:39.300 or eight weeks
00:21:39.900 or 24 weeks
00:21:40.840 or whenever,
00:21:41.520 that there should be
00:21:42.280 any limit
00:21:42.920 on a woman's right
00:21:43.940 to have an abortion?
00:21:45.120 You know,
00:21:45.260 I think the dialogue
00:21:46.240 has got so caught up
00:21:47.920 on where you draw
00:21:48.860 the line
00:21:49.360 that we've gotten
00:21:50.340 away from the,
00:21:51.200 fundamental question
00:21:52.180 of who gets
00:21:53.200 to draw the line.
00:21:54.260 And I trust women
00:21:55.720 to draw the line
00:21:57.040 when it's their own.
00:22:02.720 So,
00:22:03.200 so just to be clear,
00:22:04.620 just to be clear,
00:22:05.940 you're saying
00:22:06.480 that you would be okay
00:22:07.520 with a woman
00:22:08.220 well into the third
00:22:09.740 trimester
00:22:10.420 deciding to abort
00:22:11.880 her pregnancy.
00:22:12.420 Look,
00:22:12.620 these hypotheticals
00:22:13.720 are usually set up
00:22:14.840 in order to provoke
00:22:15.740 a strong emotional...
00:22:16.860 No, no, but, Frank,
00:22:17.100 in fairness, sir,
00:22:17.700 it's not hypothetical.
00:22:18.800 There are 6,000 women
00:22:20.360 a year
00:22:20.720 who get abortions
00:22:21.500 in the third trimester.
00:22:22.000 That's right,
00:22:22.300 representing less
00:22:22.960 than 1% of cases.
00:22:24.080 I know,
00:22:24.360 but a 6,000 pregnancy...
00:22:25.700 Let's take ourselves in...
00:22:28.800 Yeah.
00:22:30.680 So let's put ourselves
00:22:32.160 in the shoes
00:22:32.840 of a woman
00:22:33.260 in that situation.
00:22:34.320 If it's that late
00:22:35.340 in your pregnancy,
00:22:36.880 that means almost
00:22:37.440 by definition
00:22:38.220 you've been expecting
00:22:39.520 to carry it to term.
00:22:41.000 We're talking about
00:22:41.640 women who have
00:22:42.380 perhaps chosen a name,
00:22:43.860 women who have
00:22:44.300 purchased a crib,
00:22:45.900 families that then get
00:22:47.520 the most devastating
00:22:48.800 medical news
00:22:49.760 of their lifetime,
00:22:50.600 something about
00:22:51.960 the health
00:22:52.700 or the life
00:22:53.260 of the mother
00:22:53.640 that forces them
00:22:54.880 to make an impossible,
00:22:56.820 unthinkable choice.
00:22:58.380 And the bottom line is,
00:22:59.800 as horrible
00:23:00.560 as that choice is,
00:23:02.020 that woman,
00:23:03.740 that family,
00:23:04.320 may seek
00:23:04.860 spiritual guidance,
00:23:06.380 they may seek
00:23:07.260 medical guidance,
00:23:08.500 but that decision
00:23:09.460 is not going to be
00:23:10.280 made any better,
00:23:11.240 medically or morally,
00:23:12.940 because the government
00:23:13.760 is dictating
00:23:14.520 how that decision
00:23:15.160 should be made.
00:23:15.900 Okay, so first of all,
00:23:19.220 here are all those
00:23:19.820 trained SEALs
00:23:20.800 in the audience
00:23:21.300 applauding
00:23:21.840 while this person
00:23:22.980 advocates killing
00:23:23.980 babies at 38 weeks.
00:23:27.740 And this is the answer
00:23:29.240 that every Democrat
00:23:31.240 has to give now.
00:23:32.420 They have to endorse
00:23:33.260 killing babies
00:23:34.040 all throughout pregnancy,
00:23:35.780 through every stage,
00:23:37.020 for any reason,
00:23:39.280 which is,
00:23:40.260 again,
00:23:41.640 the continued radicalization
00:23:43.200 of the Democrat Party.
00:23:44.120 But I do want to note
00:23:47.080 that everything he said
00:23:48.560 at the end there
00:23:49.160 was totally bogus
00:23:51.160 and wrong.
00:23:53.500 Where he's talking about,
00:23:54.900 well,
00:23:55.140 what are the situations
00:23:56.740 where somebody would,
00:23:58.380 very late in pregnancy,
00:23:59.800 when they've already
00:24:00.440 got the crib
00:24:01.220 and they've named
00:24:02.100 the child,
00:24:04.600 what are the situations
00:24:05.440 where they would get
00:24:06.000 an abortion?
00:24:06.780 And Mayor Pete pretends,
00:24:09.020 and he knows
00:24:09.660 what he's saying
00:24:10.140 isn't true,
00:24:10.660 that while there's no way
00:24:12.340 anybody would make
00:24:13.040 that choice,
00:24:14.640 a choice that only
00:24:15.960 encompasses 1%
00:24:17.200 of all abortions,
00:24:18.120 yeah,
00:24:18.320 but rape and incest
00:24:19.480 only accounts for 1%,
00:24:20.700 and Democrats talk
00:24:21.680 about that all the time.
00:24:23.300 So the fact that
00:24:24.080 it's only 1%,
00:24:25.160 according to you,
00:24:26.260 doesn't mean we
00:24:27.300 shouldn't talk about it.
00:24:28.680 And 1%,
00:24:29.560 considering how many
00:24:30.620 abortions happen
00:24:31.440 in this country,
00:24:32.140 hundreds of thousands
00:24:32.900 every year,
00:24:33.440 1% accounts for
00:24:35.000 thousands and thousands
00:24:36.200 of abortions.
00:24:36.820 So thousands of times
00:24:38.240 women are getting abortions
00:24:39.320 very late in pregnancy.
00:24:40.640 He says it's only
00:24:41.640 if the mother's life
00:24:43.080 is in jeopardy.
00:24:43.840 That is just not true.
00:24:45.300 That is a lie.
00:24:46.800 It's a total lie.
00:24:48.280 I've addressed it
00:24:49.300 plenty of times
00:24:50.060 in the past,
00:24:50.620 and I will once again
00:24:51.800 address it,
00:24:52.380 because it's simply
00:24:53.120 not true.
00:24:53.960 If a woman
00:24:54.720 at, say,
00:24:56.980 you know,
00:24:57.300 what,
00:24:57.580 32 weeks,
00:24:58.660 for instance,
00:25:01.300 has a
00:25:02.960 cataclysmic
00:25:07.000 medical complication,
00:25:08.320 and she can't
00:25:09.080 continue the
00:25:09.540 pregnancy,
00:25:10.640 that does happen.
00:25:13.140 But the thing is,
00:25:14.060 at 32 weeks,
00:25:16.040 in the third trimester,
00:25:20.540 she can,
00:25:21.640 they can deliver
00:25:22.580 the child,
00:25:23.920 and there's a very
00:25:25.400 good chance
00:25:25.940 the child will survive.
00:25:27.880 At 32 weeks,
00:25:28.640 there's a very good
00:25:29.480 chance the child
00:25:30.020 will survive.
00:25:30.640 With modern technology,
00:25:32.940 so there's no reason
00:25:34.740 to kill the child.
00:25:35.300 The point is,
00:25:36.280 in the third trimester,
00:25:38.460 late in pregnancy,
00:25:39.480 if there is some
00:25:41.620 sort of complication,
00:25:43.120 you've got to
00:25:44.520 deliver the baby
00:25:45.520 no matter what.
00:25:47.720 Even if you're
00:25:48.460 getting the abortion,
00:25:49.280 there is still
00:25:50.000 going to be
00:25:50.720 a delivery.
00:25:51.620 The only difference
00:25:52.700 is,
00:25:53.300 in the abortion,
00:25:54.280 you kill the child
00:25:55.360 first,
00:25:57.200 and then,
00:25:58.400 by stabbing it
00:25:59.200 with a poison needle,
00:26:00.800 and then you
00:26:01.460 deliver it.
00:26:02.040 But that extra step
00:26:06.220 of killing the child
00:26:07.120 first,
00:26:08.020 there is no medical
00:26:09.200 reason for that
00:26:10.080 at all.
00:26:10.640 That doesn't help
00:26:11.220 the woman.
00:26:12.340 That doesn't preserve
00:26:13.260 the woman's life.
00:26:14.060 That is just an extra
00:26:15.080 medical step,
00:26:16.420 which carries with it
00:26:17.700 medical,
00:26:18.960 huge quotes
00:26:20.120 around medical,
00:26:20.720 by the way,
00:26:21.200 huge scare quotes
00:26:22.440 around it.
00:26:22.800 It's not medical at all.
00:26:23.720 This is just murder.
00:26:25.880 But that is an extra step
00:26:28.120 that carries with it
00:26:29.840 extra risks to the mother,
00:26:31.420 and obviously
00:26:32.200 a huge risk
00:26:32.920 to the baby
00:26:33.400 who is going
00:26:33.980 to be killed,
00:26:34.680 more than likely
00:26:35.500 by the procedure,
00:26:36.280 unless the abortion
00:26:36.860 fails,
00:26:37.680 which does happen also.
00:26:39.800 And then,
00:26:40.140 in some cases,
00:26:40.660 the baby will just
00:26:41.300 be killed afterwards
00:26:42.220 if it is a failed
00:26:42.920 abortion,
00:26:43.380 which is what
00:26:43.740 Ralph Northam
00:26:44.340 in Virginia
00:26:45.100 advocated for.
00:26:47.620 There's no reason
00:26:48.380 for that.
00:26:49.040 You can just
00:26:49.440 deliver the baby,
00:26:51.180 send it to the NICU
00:26:52.640 for medical treatment,
00:26:54.780 and then if the woman
00:26:55.860 doesn't want the child,
00:26:57.060 you put the child
00:26:57.580 up for adoption,
00:26:58.820 and there will be
00:27:00.020 a very long line
00:27:02.500 of people
00:27:03.040 waiting to adopt
00:27:03.940 that child.
00:27:04.580 There will be no problem
00:27:05.540 finding a home
00:27:06.080 for that child.
00:27:06.780 No problem at all.
00:27:09.560 So this is just untrue.
00:27:13.940 Democrats want to pretend
00:27:15.500 that a late-term abortion
00:27:17.840 is the least egregious
00:27:19.260 kind of abortion
00:27:19.980 because, well,
00:27:20.740 it only happens
00:27:21.620 for medical reasons,
00:27:22.800 but it is definitely
00:27:24.180 the most egregious kind.
00:27:25.700 not only because
00:27:28.320 it's so late
00:27:29.180 in the pregnancy
00:27:29.840 and what you have now
00:27:31.140 is a fully formed
00:27:32.580 baby who visibly
00:27:35.140 looks like a baby,
00:27:36.560 not just because of that,
00:27:38.220 but because
00:27:38.760 it's,
00:27:40.180 it is,
00:27:41.280 you could just,
00:27:43.440 you're delivering
00:27:44.240 the baby anyway.
00:27:45.880 So just deliver him.
00:27:47.420 Do a C-section.
00:27:48.640 You don't need
00:27:49.540 to kill him first.
00:27:51.100 There's just no reason.
00:27:51.960 Now there's no reason
00:27:52.600 to kill a baby
00:27:53.120 at any stage,
00:27:53.800 but at that stage,
00:27:55.620 you're going through
00:27:56.840 the process of delivery
00:27:58.300 anyway.
00:28:01.820 So let him be born alive
00:28:03.660 and give him a chance.
00:28:06.960 All right.
00:28:09.180 Staying on this topic
00:28:10.160 for a moment,
00:28:11.320 Tommy Lahren
00:28:12.020 sent out a tweet
00:28:12.940 over the weekend
00:28:13.640 and here's the tweet.
00:28:17.160 I'll put it up
00:28:17.560 on the screen.
00:28:18.640 It says,
00:28:19.380 to those arguing
00:28:20.360 with me over
00:28:20.880 the Alabama law,
00:28:21.940 I am not saying
00:28:22.760 life doesn't matter.
00:28:23.980 I am asking you
00:28:24.840 if you honestly think
00:28:26.120 an all-out ban
00:28:26.980 is going to stop abortion,
00:28:28.480 do you think
00:28:29.280 government is the answer?
00:28:30.280 Do you think
00:28:30.560 it's effective?
00:28:31.580 Or does this just,
00:28:32.520 or does this ban
00:28:33.280 just make you feel better?
00:28:35.860 Now,
00:28:37.600 you know,
00:28:38.040 Tommy,
00:28:38.860 I have no issue
00:28:40.040 with Tommy.
00:28:41.300 I worked with her
00:28:42.340 briefly when I was
00:28:43.120 over at the Blaze
00:28:43.700 and I think she's a,
00:28:47.280 you know,
00:28:47.540 we didn't,
00:28:47.920 I lived,
00:28:49.880 I didn't,
00:28:50.480 I didn't live down
00:28:51.020 in Dallas
00:28:51.380 where the studios
00:28:52.040 are down there,
00:28:52.500 but I,
00:28:55.000 you know,
00:28:55.260 my experience
00:28:56.100 with her,
00:28:56.500 a little bit of experience,
00:28:57.080 I think she's a nice person,
00:28:58.100 she's perfectly fine,
00:28:58.600 I have no problem
00:28:59.120 with her.
00:29:00.940 But this kind
00:29:02.140 of thing,
00:29:03.200 and I've,
00:29:05.060 it's been known
00:29:06.100 now for a while,
00:29:07.160 when Tommy Lahren
00:29:08.060 came out in support of,
00:29:09.060 or against the Alabama law
00:29:10.540 a few days ago,
00:29:11.800 it was treated
00:29:12.480 as this headline story.
00:29:13.860 Now,
00:29:14.000 we've known
00:29:14.420 for a couple of years
00:29:15.080 now that Tommy
00:29:15.680 is pro-abortion,
00:29:16.920 which is very unfortunate,
00:29:19.180 and I just
00:29:21.560 don't think,
00:29:25.600 conservatism
00:29:26.500 is supposed to be
00:29:27.420 about advocating
00:29:28.280 liberty,
00:29:29.380 basic human rights,
00:29:30.620 that's what
00:29:31.780 conservatism
00:29:32.420 is supposed to be,
00:29:33.580 and
00:29:34.420 if you don't
00:29:36.420 have the right
00:29:38.600 to life,
00:29:39.280 then you can't
00:29:40.580 have any other right,
00:29:41.440 and so your ability
00:29:42.860 to be
00:29:43.460 an effective
00:29:46.000 advocate
00:29:46.940 for the conservative
00:29:47.560 position
00:29:48.040 is severely
00:29:49.540 hindered
00:29:50.140 if you're not
00:29:51.880 advocating for the
00:29:52.680 right to life,
00:29:53.260 which is the
00:29:53.700 foundational right
00:29:54.640 upon which all
00:29:55.400 the rest
00:29:55.720 lay.
00:29:58.160 But,
00:29:58.900 we've known
00:29:59.620 that about her.
00:30:00.700 The argument
00:30:01.520 that she puts
00:30:02.100 forward here
00:30:02.740 is
00:30:03.180 just bad.
00:30:05.220 It is a
00:30:06.460 straw man,
00:30:08.440 it makes no
00:30:10.580 sense,
00:30:11.440 you know,
00:30:13.600 we want to,
00:30:15.860 we're pro-life
00:30:16.840 because it makes
00:30:17.500 us feel better.
00:30:19.560 What?
00:30:22.440 Do you think
00:30:23.520 that
00:30:23.820 government is the
00:30:24.960 answer,
00:30:25.420 is an all-out
00:30:26.080 ban on abortion
00:30:26.680 going to stop
00:30:27.320 abortion?
00:30:28.920 Okay,
00:30:29.240 well the answer
00:30:29.660 is no.
00:30:30.280 Nobody thinks
00:30:31.160 that when you
00:30:31.780 ban abortion,
00:30:33.380 there's not
00:30:33.780 going to be
00:30:34.000 any abortions
00:30:34.600 anymore,
00:30:35.220 and abortion
00:30:35.600 is done,
00:30:36.340 and it's a
00:30:37.040 utopia.
00:30:37.720 No one thinks
00:30:38.240 that.
00:30:39.500 But I would
00:30:39.860 ask you this,
00:30:40.560 Tommy,
00:30:40.760 do you
00:30:41.940 think that
00:30:42.260 an all-out
00:30:42.820 ban on
00:30:43.460 rape has
00:30:44.420 stopped rape
00:30:45.020 from happening?
00:30:45.820 Has an all-out
00:30:46.700 ban on
00:30:47.180 carjacking,
00:30:48.300 or,
00:30:48.540 you know,
00:30:49.800 armed robbery,
00:30:51.300 or homicide,
00:30:54.100 which abortion
00:30:54.640 is homicide,
00:30:55.480 but other forms
00:30:56.120 of homicide,
00:30:56.720 has an all-out
00:30:57.900 ban on any
00:30:58.700 of those
00:30:59.100 things
00:30:59.540 stopped those
00:31:01.840 things from
00:31:02.240 happening?
00:31:03.400 No.
00:31:04.140 In fact,
00:31:04.600 I would even
00:31:05.360 argue,
00:31:06.500 it seems
00:31:08.460 to me
00:31:08.680 quite likely
00:31:09.400 that the
00:31:11.900 ban on
00:31:12.560 rape,
00:31:13.380 which we
00:31:13.840 have in
00:31:14.460 every state
00:31:14.980 in the
00:31:15.200 union,
00:31:16.000 I think
00:31:17.520 it's probably
00:31:18.060 likely that
00:31:19.060 it has never
00:31:19.800 actually prevented
00:31:20.880 a single
00:31:21.700 rape from
00:31:22.200 happening.
00:31:23.680 In that,
00:31:24.840 if someone
00:31:25.480 decides that
00:31:27.280 they want to
00:31:27.720 rape another
00:31:28.300 human being,
00:31:29.160 they have the
00:31:29.740 desire to
00:31:30.340 do it,
00:31:30.720 and they
00:31:32.060 find the
00:31:32.560 opportunity to
00:31:33.220 do it,
00:31:34.220 I doubt
00:31:35.680 they're going
00:31:36.080 to stop
00:31:36.620 because it's
00:31:37.720 illegal.
00:31:38.700 I don't know
00:31:39.360 if there's ever
00:31:39.900 been a person
00:31:40.420 who says,
00:31:40.700 you know,
00:31:40.880 I really want
00:31:41.300 to rape
00:31:41.640 someone,
00:31:42.220 and I have
00:31:42.640 the opportunity
00:31:43.000 to do it,
00:31:43.340 but it's
00:31:43.940 against the
00:31:44.480 law,
00:31:44.720 so I'm
00:31:44.880 not going
00:31:45.120 to do it.
00:31:46.720 No,
00:31:46.920 because if
00:31:47.460 someone is
00:31:48.120 a total
00:31:48.560 dirtbag,
00:31:49.640 and they're
00:31:50.220 an evil
00:31:50.640 person,
00:31:52.580 and so
00:31:53.400 they have
00:31:54.440 this desire
00:31:55.060 in the first
00:31:55.580 place,
00:31:56.360 which means
00:31:58.060 you have to
00:31:58.280 be so deep
00:31:59.340 into the depths
00:32:00.100 of evil
00:32:00.720 and darkness,
00:32:01.460 to even
00:32:01.720 have that
00:32:02.320 desire,
00:32:03.280 and if
00:32:03.960 they have
00:32:04.440 it,
00:32:05.060 then they're
00:32:05.900 not going
00:32:06.160 to be
00:32:06.260 prevented
00:32:06.580 by the
00:32:06.980 law.
00:32:08.300 The reason
00:32:09.100 why most
00:32:09.700 of us
00:32:10.140 have never
00:32:10.560 raped anyone
00:32:11.160 or never
00:32:11.500 killed anyone
00:32:12.120 is just
00:32:12.480 because we
00:32:13.360 have absolutely
00:32:14.040 no desire
00:32:14.740 to do that.
00:32:15.760 We're not
00:32:16.080 that kind
00:32:16.440 of person.
00:32:19.060 But if
00:32:19.680 someone is
00:32:20.320 that kind
00:32:20.880 of person,
00:32:21.940 then I
00:32:22.440 think it's
00:32:22.740 probably likely
00:32:23.480 that the
00:32:23.860 law will
00:32:24.360 not stop
00:32:24.920 them.
00:32:28.100 But the
00:32:28.820 reason why
00:32:29.900 we have
00:32:31.480 laws against
00:32:32.120 it is
00:32:33.760 because it
00:32:34.420 is an
00:32:36.100 evil,
00:32:36.920 violent
00:32:38.320 act which
00:32:40.360 harms another
00:32:41.380 person.
00:32:42.540 And in a
00:32:42.960 civilized
00:32:43.480 society,
00:32:44.940 acts like
00:32:45.700 that,
00:32:46.080 behavior like
00:32:46.660 that,
00:32:46.980 is illegal.
00:32:49.400 Whether how
00:32:50.440 effective the
00:32:51.120 law is in
00:32:51.760 actually stopping
00:32:52.460 a thing ahead
00:32:52.940 of time,
00:32:53.840 who knows?
00:32:56.080 But it's
00:32:56.820 against the
00:32:57.400 law because
00:32:57.920 we are a
00:32:58.480 civilized human
00:32:59.220 society.
00:33:01.780 And there
00:33:02.400 is a lot
00:33:02.920 of value
00:33:03.580 in simply
00:33:05.640 making that
00:33:06.360 statement as
00:33:07.200 a society
00:33:07.760 and saying,
00:33:08.380 we do not
00:33:08.840 approve of
00:33:09.340 that, that
00:33:09.780 is not
00:33:10.300 tolerated,
00:33:11.480 we will not
00:33:12.500 accept that.
00:33:14.460 And then
00:33:15.140 on the other
00:33:15.960 end of it,
00:33:16.900 you can try
00:33:18.000 to enact
00:33:18.580 some kind
00:33:19.200 of justice,
00:33:19.800 although you
00:33:20.160 can never
00:33:20.460 undo this
00:33:21.600 terrible thing
00:33:22.060 that happened,
00:33:22.500 and you
00:33:22.980 can enact
00:33:23.360 some kind
00:33:23.760 of justice
00:33:24.160 by punishing
00:33:25.020 the person
00:33:25.440 who did
00:33:25.780 it, and
00:33:26.700 that also
00:33:27.300 has value.
00:33:30.440 And so
00:33:30.720 when I say
00:33:31.220 that, so
00:33:31.800 maybe I should
00:33:32.260 correct myself
00:33:32.720 a little bit,
00:33:33.040 I say that
00:33:33.420 the laws
00:33:34.020 against rape
00:33:34.440 have never
00:33:34.740 prevented a
00:33:35.540 rape, I
00:33:36.320 think laws
00:33:37.180 against rape
00:33:37.680 probably
00:33:38.960 haven't stopped
00:33:39.860 a rapist
00:33:40.960 from initially
00:33:41.860 committing that
00:33:42.500 act against
00:33:43.020 another person,
00:33:43.900 but after it
00:33:46.280 happens, you
00:33:46.640 put that person
00:33:47.160 in jail, you
00:33:47.780 probably have
00:33:48.540 prevented
00:33:49.000 additional rapes
00:33:50.200 from that
00:33:50.560 person by
00:33:51.220 putting them
00:33:51.620 in jail.
00:33:52.500 So there
00:33:54.420 is some
00:33:55.400 preventative
00:33:55.840 value in
00:33:56.320 that case.
00:33:59.020 And so
00:33:59.200 that's it.
00:34:02.500 Are you
00:34:03.540 going to
00:34:03.740 say that
00:34:04.100 because we
00:34:04.540 have laws
00:34:05.000 against rape,
00:34:05.560 we have laws
00:34:05.960 against murder,
00:34:06.800 that we're
00:34:07.200 pretending that
00:34:07.840 government is
00:34:08.560 the answer?
00:34:09.800 No, but
00:34:10.360 government has
00:34:11.040 a role, has
00:34:11.840 a function in
00:34:12.780 society, and
00:34:16.120 to prohibit
00:34:17.900 and punish
00:34:19.040 violent acts
00:34:20.600 against other
00:34:21.220 people.
00:34:21.620 I mean, if
00:34:22.020 the government
00:34:22.380 doesn't have
00:34:22.840 that function
00:34:23.480 or that
00:34:23.840 role, then
00:34:24.560 what the hell
00:34:24.980 is the
00:34:25.220 point of
00:34:25.520 government?
00:34:26.520 That's one
00:34:26.960 of the most
00:34:27.240 basic roles
00:34:28.080 of government.
00:34:28.540 If it's not
00:34:28.880 supposed to do
00:34:29.400 that, then I
00:34:29.880 don't even
00:34:30.080 know why we
00:34:30.400 have a
00:34:30.700 government.
00:34:31.600 We may as
00:34:32.140 well have no
00:34:32.620 government then.
00:34:35.020 So it's the
00:34:35.600 same thing with
00:34:36.040 abortion.
00:34:36.380 So when someone
00:34:40.320 says, well, you
00:34:40.920 have a law
00:34:41.280 against abortion
00:34:41.800 that's not
00:34:42.140 going to
00:34:42.280 prevent any
00:34:42.740 abortions, even
00:34:43.800 if that's
00:34:44.300 true, I
00:34:45.600 still say it
00:34:46.620 should be
00:34:46.900 against the
00:34:47.400 law.
00:34:47.780 But I don't
00:34:48.240 even think
00:34:48.600 that is
00:34:48.920 true.
00:34:50.840 Because there's
00:34:53.300 been 60 million
00:34:53.980 abortions since
00:34:54.660 Roe v.
00:34:55.020 Wade, that's
00:34:55.400 an average of
00:34:55.900 1.3 million a
00:34:57.020 year.
00:34:57.400 Are you going
00:34:57.800 to tell me
00:34:58.320 that even if
00:34:59.140 abortion was
00:34:59.780 illegal, we
00:35:00.580 would still
00:35:00.960 have that
00:35:01.680 number of
00:35:02.240 abortions?
00:35:02.680 So you're
00:35:03.280 telling me
00:35:03.540 nobody would
00:35:04.520 have been
00:35:04.780 dissuaded from
00:35:05.380 getting an
00:35:05.740 abortion if
00:35:06.200 it was
00:35:06.400 illegal?
00:35:07.100 I don't
00:35:07.680 believe that.
00:35:11.480 Because
00:35:11.960 something like
00:35:12.800 rape or
00:35:14.300 homicide of a
00:35:15.300 born person,
00:35:16.760 the thing about
00:35:17.360 that is most
00:35:17.920 of the time,
00:35:18.640 it's one person
00:35:20.020 doing it to
00:35:20.480 another person.
00:35:21.860 Most of the
00:35:22.500 time, there is
00:35:22.980 no third
00:35:23.560 party involved.
00:35:25.240 But with the
00:35:26.040 nature of
00:35:26.480 abortion, cloaking
00:35:27.960 itself as it
00:35:28.700 does as a
00:35:29.240 medical procedure,
00:35:31.100 it's
00:35:32.680 usually there's
00:35:33.780 going to be a
00:35:34.460 third person,
00:35:35.120 there's a
00:35:35.340 third party
00:35:35.840 involved, there
00:35:36.380 is the
00:35:36.760 quote-unquote
00:35:37.200 doctor.
00:35:39.440 If you're not
00:35:40.120 going to get
00:35:40.400 that third
00:35:40.800 party involved,
00:35:41.480 then that means
00:35:41.880 you're left
00:35:42.280 using a
00:35:42.800 coat hanger,
00:35:43.440 some gruesome
00:35:44.240 thing like
00:35:45.160 that.
00:35:46.220 So are you
00:35:46.720 going to tell
00:35:47.000 me that every
00:35:47.520 single woman
00:35:48.180 who has gone
00:35:49.740 to a so-called
00:35:50.680 doctor for an
00:35:51.440 abortion, if she
00:35:52.060 had not been
00:35:52.580 able to go to
00:35:53.000 the doctor, she
00:35:53.520 would have
00:35:53.760 used a coat
00:35:54.300 hanger or
00:35:55.020 something like
00:35:55.420 that?
00:35:55.640 She would
00:35:55.820 have gone to
00:35:56.300 the supposed
00:35:57.060 back alley for
00:35:58.000 the abortion?
00:36:01.260 I don't think
00:36:02.180 so.
00:36:02.340 I think
00:36:02.960 actually that
00:36:03.760 laws against
00:36:04.500 abortion would
00:36:05.960 dissuade a
00:36:07.640 fair number of
00:36:08.520 women from
00:36:09.080 getting an
00:36:09.460 abortion.
00:36:10.240 I think there
00:36:10.580 are a fair
00:36:10.860 number of
00:36:11.200 women who
00:36:11.480 would say,
00:36:11.960 it's illegal,
00:36:13.740 I don't want
00:36:16.240 to go do the
00:36:16.800 back alley
00:36:17.300 thing, so maybe
00:36:18.740 I'll just have
00:36:19.180 the kid and put
00:36:19.760 him up for
00:36:20.060 adoption instead.
00:36:22.240 I think that
00:36:23.040 that is a
00:36:23.520 thought process
00:36:24.180 that would
00:36:24.580 probably go
00:36:25.240 through a lot
00:36:25.780 of women's
00:36:26.140 minds.
00:36:26.380 if abortions
00:36:29.520 were not
00:36:29.900 completely
00:36:30.300 legal and
00:36:31.060 easy to get
00:36:32.200 just by going
00:36:32.840 to a Planned
00:36:33.260 Parenthood down
00:36:33.740 the street.
00:36:36.380 So I do
00:36:37.320 think it will
00:36:37.880 dissuade and
00:36:38.520 prevent a
00:36:39.280 fair number of
00:36:39.800 abortions.
00:36:40.320 How many?
00:36:40.860 I don't know.
00:36:42.520 But also,
00:36:43.540 that part of
00:36:44.860 it is not
00:36:45.920 the point.
00:36:46.440 The point is,
00:36:46.980 it is an
00:36:47.360 evil, violent
00:36:50.180 act against
00:36:51.000 another human
00:36:51.620 being, and
00:36:52.260 that's why it
00:36:53.020 should be
00:36:53.260 illegal for
00:36:53.940 that reason.
00:36:54.780 Period.
00:36:55.000 All right,
00:36:57.800 let's go to
00:36:59.080 emails.
00:37:00.400 mattwalshow
00:37:00.940 at gmail.com,
00:37:01.940 mattwalshow
00:37:02.420 at gmail.com.
00:37:03.740 This is from
00:37:04.240 Ashley, says,
00:37:07.660 let's see here.
00:37:09.860 Yeah, Ashley
00:37:10.480 says, I really
00:37:11.380 enjoy your show
00:37:12.020 and I've been
00:37:12.340 watching since
00:37:12.900 the beginning
00:37:13.280 CarCast days.
00:37:14.280 As a pro-lifer,
00:37:14.980 I have to say,
00:37:15.480 I was a bit
00:37:16.040 stumped when
00:37:17.060 someone said,
00:37:18.120 if abortion
00:37:18.540 is murder,
00:37:19.180 then miscarriage
00:37:19.840 is manslaughter
00:37:20.740 in a spirited
00:37:21.500 debate.
00:37:22.200 I honestly
00:37:22.660 didn't have a
00:37:23.100 great response
00:37:23.740 and would like
00:37:24.080 to hear your
00:37:24.440 take.
00:37:25.000 I personally
00:37:25.440 don't believe
00:37:26.040 miscarriages
00:37:26.620 are manslaughter,
00:37:27.680 but if I
00:37:28.360 believe abortion
00:37:28.940 is murder,
00:37:29.480 which I do,
00:37:30.580 then wouldn't
00:37:30.960 it be honest
00:37:31.640 to say miscarriages
00:37:32.580 are in fact
00:37:33.260 manslaughter?
00:37:34.280 Anyway, I
00:37:34.800 appreciate your
00:37:35.340 time and all
00:37:35.860 you do for
00:37:36.360 the pro-life
00:37:37.080 movement.
00:37:37.600 Sincerely,
00:37:38.100 Ashley.
00:37:39.280 Hi, Ashley.
00:37:39.940 Yeah, this is a
00:37:40.420 common argument
00:37:41.020 from ProAborts
00:37:41.860 and I'm not
00:37:44.920 sure why because
00:37:45.980 it's very weak.
00:37:47.460 There is a
00:37:47.900 clear difference
00:37:48.580 between a
00:37:49.100 miscarriage
00:37:49.740 and an
00:37:50.200 abortion.
00:37:50.540 a miscarriage
00:37:52.560 by definition
00:37:53.320 is something
00:37:54.100 that happens
00:37:54.760 accidentally,
00:37:55.820 naturally,
00:37:56.260 because of
00:37:57.220 sickness or
00:37:57.800 injury or
00:37:58.680 some other
00:37:59.120 problem out
00:37:59.940 of anyone's
00:38:00.440 control.
00:38:01.920 Now, if it's
00:38:02.440 an intentional
00:38:02.960 miscarriage,
00:38:03.860 then it's not a
00:38:04.400 miscarriage,
00:38:04.760 it's an abortion.
00:38:05.480 So we're not
00:38:06.040 talking about a
00:38:06.640 miscarriage anymore.
00:38:07.220 The idea that
00:38:08.460 you can't
00:38:08.920 criminalize
00:38:09.680 abortion without
00:38:10.320 criminalizing
00:38:11.000 miscarriages is
00:38:11.960 exactly the
00:38:13.720 same as saying
00:38:14.420 you can't
00:38:14.860 criminalize
00:38:15.560 infanticide without
00:38:16.540 criminalizing
00:38:17.200 SIDS, which is
00:38:18.400 sudden infant
00:38:19.140 death syndrome.
00:38:20.200 There are
00:38:20.860 tragic cases
00:38:21.780 that I'm sure
00:38:22.320 you've heard
00:38:22.640 about where
00:38:23.160 an infant dies
00:38:23.960 suddenly, often
00:38:24.660 in their crib,
00:38:25.900 and not because
00:38:26.860 anyone did
00:38:27.500 anything to
00:38:28.040 cause it.
00:38:29.060 Obviously, that's
00:38:29.940 different from
00:38:30.580 someone intentionally
00:38:31.640 smothering their
00:38:32.480 infant or killing
00:38:33.540 them via shaken
00:38:34.760 baby syndrome or
00:38:35.740 in some other
00:38:36.460 way.
00:38:37.220 Obviously, the
00:38:38.140 intentional harm
00:38:39.100 to an infant
00:38:39.680 is evil and
00:38:41.120 therefore should
00:38:46.860 be punished,
00:38:47.760 but an
00:38:50.020 accidental,
00:38:51.220 uncaused
00:38:51.800 death of an
00:38:52.460 infant is
00:38:54.140 tragic and
00:38:55.520 not criminal,
00:38:56.140 so you're not
00:38:56.540 going to punish
00:38:57.040 the parent.
00:38:57.620 We all
00:38:58.040 understand that.
00:38:59.480 There's no
00:39:00.180 problem in
00:39:00.740 understanding that
00:39:01.420 concept.
00:39:02.940 And so the
00:39:03.340 same would go
00:39:04.780 for the
00:39:05.040 distinction between
00:39:05.900 someone dying
00:39:06.740 of brain
00:39:07.200 cancer and
00:39:07.920 someone dying
00:39:08.520 from being
00:39:08.880 shot in the
00:39:09.440 head.
00:39:11.180 Obviously, someone
00:39:11.900 dies of brain
00:39:12.540 cancer, no one
00:39:13.420 is going to
00:39:13.820 jail for that.
00:39:14.380 That's a
00:39:14.700 tragic illness,
00:39:16.380 and that's all.
00:39:17.500 We mourn it.
00:39:19.000 Someone gets
00:39:19.580 shot in the
00:39:20.220 head, we want
00:39:20.820 to find out who
00:39:21.500 pulled the
00:39:21.920 trigger and put
00:39:22.440 them in jail.
00:39:23.840 So same thing,
00:39:24.840 miscarriage versus
00:39:25.480 abortion.
00:39:26.200 Both are tragedies
00:39:27.200 because a human
00:39:28.560 being is dying,
00:39:29.600 and a miscarriage,
00:39:30.480 it's not anyone's
00:39:31.180 fault.
00:39:31.420 And so the
00:39:33.760 only thing that
00:39:34.440 we should do in
00:39:35.080 response to that
00:39:35.700 is have sympathy
00:39:36.540 for the mother
00:39:37.740 and the father.
00:39:39.820 But an abortion
00:39:40.740 is an intentional
00:39:41.980 killing.
00:39:42.400 So I just,
00:39:42.940 honestly, I
00:39:43.580 don't see the,
00:39:45.320 I just don't see
00:39:46.440 how so many
00:39:46.820 people are
00:39:47.200 confused by this.
00:39:49.800 I don't think
00:39:50.860 there's any force
00:39:51.740 or power to that
00:39:52.560 argument at all.
00:39:55.280 Let's see.
00:39:56.380 This is,
00:39:59.240 let's see,
00:40:00.260 there's one
00:40:00.580 other.
00:40:01.900 I'm going to
00:40:02.140 save that one
00:40:02.620 for tomorrow.
00:40:03.440 This is from
00:40:04.220 Locklug.
00:40:07.520 Says,
00:40:08.180 love the show.
00:40:09.060 Your show is my
00:40:09.740 favorite on the
00:40:10.120 Daily Wire.
00:40:10.720 I came for Ben,
00:40:11.480 stayed for Matt
00:40:12.080 the Magnificent.
00:40:12.800 Matt the
00:40:13.100 Magnificent.
00:40:13.760 Well, that's a
00:40:14.140 good one.
00:40:14.860 Before I ask my
00:40:15.540 question, please
00:40:16.160 bear in mind,
00:40:16.660 I am pro-life
00:40:17.400 on your side as a
00:40:18.520 Christian, though
00:40:19.040 not Catholic.
00:40:19.740 I'm Calvinist.
00:40:21.640 You stated recently
00:40:22.700 on your show that
00:40:23.360 an unborn child is
00:40:24.080 human life and has
00:40:24.800 intrinsic worth,
00:40:25.580 that all human
00:40:26.220 life has worth.
00:40:27.240 I agree, an
00:40:27.840 unborn child is the
00:40:28.560 closest to sinless
00:40:29.380 you can get,
00:40:29.960 though we are all
00:40:30.500 born in sin.
00:40:31.020 No one is good,
00:40:31.880 no, not one.
00:40:34.540 Shortly thereafter,
00:40:35.500 you advocated for the
00:40:36.420 death penalty for
00:40:37.140 rapists.
00:40:38.080 I'm not necessarily
00:40:38.780 against capital
00:40:39.600 punishment, but the
00:40:40.280 rapist is human and
00:40:42.020 alive, is he not?
00:40:43.080 What is the
00:40:43.480 difference exactly?
00:40:44.940 Is it that he has
00:40:45.660 forfeited his worth
00:40:46.640 by the commission of a
00:40:47.480 heinous crime, so
00:40:48.620 certain lives do
00:40:49.520 cease to have worth
00:40:50.300 and therefore must
00:40:51.080 end?
00:40:51.620 Is it that simple?
00:40:52.780 Am I missing
00:40:53.120 something?
00:40:54.500 Now, you don't
00:40:55.060 forfeit your worth,
00:40:56.120 but you can
00:40:57.320 forfeit your
00:40:57.940 rights.
00:40:59.160 So a person who
00:41:00.480 commits a violent
00:41:01.200 crime, we all
00:41:02.600 agree, has
00:41:03.100 forfeited his
00:41:03.880 right to almost
00:41:05.320 everything.
00:41:06.560 He's going to be
00:41:07.420 locked in a cage
00:41:08.260 now and everything
00:41:09.220 he does will be
00:41:10.360 controlled and
00:41:11.040 monitored.
00:41:12.040 So a person in
00:41:13.120 jail has almost
00:41:15.620 no rights.
00:41:17.240 Their First
00:41:18.140 Amendment rights
00:41:18.660 are severely
00:41:19.180 limited.
00:41:19.680 They have no
00:41:20.160 Second Amendment
00:41:20.680 rights.
00:41:21.700 Most of their
00:41:22.200 rights are gone.
00:41:22.780 Not all, but
00:41:23.820 most.
00:41:25.400 His liberty in
00:41:26.560 general is gone
00:41:27.600 because he is put
00:41:28.960 in this building.
00:41:29.700 He's not allowed
00:41:30.120 to leave.
00:41:31.420 That's one of the
00:41:31.940 most fundamental
00:41:32.680 freedoms we have,
00:41:33.780 is freedom to move
00:41:34.620 around and go
00:41:35.880 where we want,
00:41:37.000 to be put in a
00:41:38.240 cage and said,
00:41:39.200 you can't go
00:41:40.000 anywhere.
00:41:41.820 Well, that is a
00:41:43.280 severe restriction
00:41:44.860 on our liberties,
00:41:45.640 but we all agree,
00:41:47.020 unless we're
00:41:47.380 anarchists, that
00:41:48.280 yeah, we've got to
00:41:49.420 be able to do
00:41:50.000 that.
00:41:50.860 If someone is a
00:41:51.940 violent, dangerous
00:41:52.660 person, yet
00:41:54.620 someone, even in
00:41:55.340 that case, they're
00:41:56.040 still a human
00:41:56.640 being, they still
00:41:58.380 have worth, so we
00:41:59.960 believe that there's
00:42:00.540 a standard of
00:42:01.420 humane treatment,
00:42:02.340 that's why we
00:42:02.660 call it humane
00:42:03.580 treatment, to
00:42:04.320 treat someone like
00:42:05.160 a human, that
00:42:07.100 even someone in
00:42:07.940 jail is entitled
00:42:08.640 to, but that
00:42:09.660 doesn't change the
00:42:10.480 fact that he's
00:42:11.020 lost almost all of
00:42:12.280 his rights because
00:42:13.160 of his actions.
00:42:15.680 So if we believe
00:42:16.600 that a person can
00:42:17.220 lose almost all of
00:42:18.160 their rights, then
00:42:19.260 the only remaining
00:42:19.940 question is whether
00:42:20.900 they can lose
00:42:21.520 their right to
00:42:22.020 life.
00:42:23.320 And it's a
00:42:24.040 little bit of a
00:42:25.620 less difficult leap
00:42:26.580 to make once we've
00:42:27.480 established that,
00:42:28.280 yeah, you can lose
00:42:29.560 your rights.
00:42:32.000 And then the only
00:42:32.940 question is, well,
00:42:33.560 which rights can be
00:42:34.420 lost?
00:42:37.500 And I think that,
00:42:38.620 yeah, a person
00:42:39.540 can lose that
00:42:41.060 right, just as
00:42:44.980 you can only lose
00:42:45.820 your other
00:42:46.280 liberties through
00:42:47.260 deliberate action on
00:42:48.580 your part, or I
00:42:50.500 suppose, through
00:42:51.080 violent and
00:42:51.780 dangerous action
00:42:52.660 that is, you
00:42:55.080 know, you can
00:42:56.120 lose it through
00:42:56.660 violent and
00:42:57.200 dangerous action on
00:42:57.920 your part.
00:42:59.380 You can lose your
00:43:00.540 freedom to walk
00:43:02.160 around and many of
00:43:02.880 your freedoms, even
00:43:03.560 I guess if it's not
00:43:04.280 deliberate, if you're,
00:43:05.060 you know, if you're a
00:43:06.240 dangerous psychotic,
00:43:07.400 you can still be locked
00:43:08.280 somewhere for the sake
00:43:09.060 of society.
00:43:11.480 But either way, it's
00:43:12.600 about your actions.
00:43:14.280 It's about
00:43:14.920 demonstrating that
00:43:15.980 you are not the
00:43:17.160 kind of person who
00:43:17.960 can be trusted to
00:43:18.760 live in human
00:43:19.320 society.
00:43:20.860 An unborn child
00:43:21.860 cannot possibly have
00:43:23.800 demonstrated that.
00:43:25.560 An unborn child
00:43:26.620 cannot possibly have
00:43:27.620 committed any crime,
00:43:28.860 cannot possibly have
00:43:29.740 victimized anyone,
00:43:31.100 cannot possibly have
00:43:32.000 demonstrated that they
00:43:32.960 are dangerous.
00:43:34.420 Now, you could say
00:43:34.960 all you want that,
00:43:35.580 oh, this is an
00:43:36.120 unwanted child born
00:43:37.420 into a poor family.
00:43:38.760 The chances of them
00:43:39.860 becoming a criminal
00:43:40.940 are very great.
00:43:42.760 Well, that might be
00:43:43.360 true statistically,
00:43:44.460 but you can't start
00:43:45.140 executing people based
00:43:46.360 on the statistical
00:43:47.540 likelihood that
00:43:48.280 they're going to
00:43:48.660 commit a crime
00:43:49.300 in the future.
00:43:49.940 This is not the
00:43:50.420 minority report,
00:43:51.440 obviously.
00:43:53.560 No, this is about
00:43:54.420 what have they done.
00:43:57.220 And a person who
00:43:58.620 commits the most
00:44:00.720 heinous of crimes
00:44:01.860 against another
00:44:02.540 person,
00:44:04.060 there is a very
00:44:05.160 real, very
00:44:06.060 credible argument
00:44:07.160 you could make
00:44:07.780 that they have
00:44:09.380 lost their right
00:44:10.200 to continue existing
00:44:11.280 in human society.
00:44:13.620 That's all.
00:44:15.240 By committing
00:44:16.060 that act.
00:44:16.580 they're still a
00:44:18.720 human being,
00:44:19.580 but we as
00:44:22.880 society can just
00:44:24.140 no longer
00:44:25.020 tolerate their
00:44:26.920 continued presence.
00:44:29.600 Their actions are
00:44:30.600 too evil.
00:44:31.320 They're too
00:44:32.000 dangerous.
00:44:33.800 They have made
00:44:34.780 it clear.
00:44:35.400 They have told us
00:44:36.440 through their
00:44:37.080 actions,
00:44:37.760 I don't want to
00:44:40.440 live in human
00:44:41.080 society anymore.
00:44:41.960 I don't want to be
00:44:42.540 a part of it.
00:44:43.020 And so is
00:44:45.440 there a point
00:44:45.940 where we say,
00:44:47.000 okay,
00:44:48.280 I mean,
00:44:48.700 have it your
00:44:49.660 way as you
00:44:51.020 wish.
00:44:52.280 This is what
00:44:52.940 you wanted.
00:44:56.360 As I said,
00:44:57.020 I'm conflicted
00:44:57.560 on the capital
00:44:57.880 punishment,
00:44:58.340 so I kind of
00:44:58.760 waver back and
00:44:59.400 forth,
00:44:59.760 but there
00:45:00.100 definitely is an
00:45:00.940 argument there
00:45:01.540 and there is
00:45:02.860 no con,
00:45:03.300 you can be
00:45:03.840 pro-life and
00:45:04.600 for the death
00:45:05.460 penalty because
00:45:06.100 they're two
00:45:06.480 completely different
00:45:07.300 things.
00:45:08.660 Being pro-life
00:45:09.580 does not mean
00:45:10.520 that you oppose
00:45:11.880 killing people
00:45:12.620 under any
00:45:13.420 circumstance.
00:45:14.820 There are
00:45:15.360 clearly
00:45:15.800 circumstances,
00:45:16.520 even if you're
00:45:17.060 against capital
00:45:17.540 punishment.
00:45:18.040 You would
00:45:18.220 still say,
00:45:18.780 I assume,
00:45:19.520 that there
00:45:19.800 are other
00:45:20.200 circumstances,
00:45:20.840 self-defense,
00:45:22.560 just war.
00:45:24.900 I assume most
00:45:25.800 people think
00:45:26.280 that we were
00:45:26.600 justified in
00:45:27.200 killing the
00:45:27.540 Nazis in
00:45:27.960 World War II.
00:45:28.580 I rarely meet
00:45:29.520 anyone who
00:45:30.020 would say
00:45:30.340 otherwise,
00:45:30.880 even someone
00:45:31.340 who's against
00:45:31.680 the death
00:45:31.980 penalty.
00:45:32.400 So there
00:45:32.640 are circumstances,
00:45:34.460 but if we're
00:45:35.640 going to talk
00:45:36.240 about circumstances
00:45:36.960 where killing
00:45:37.440 someone is
00:45:37.920 morally acceptable,
00:45:39.540 I just don't
00:45:40.380 see how
00:45:41.240 killing an
00:45:41.960 innocent baby
00:45:42.700 could possibly
00:45:43.680 fit into that
00:45:44.860 acceptable genre.
00:45:48.660 All right,
00:45:49.160 there's a lot
00:45:49.520 here that I'm
00:45:49.860 leaving on the
00:45:50.280 table that I
00:45:51.520 guess we'll get
00:45:51.880 to tomorrow
00:45:52.380 because we're
00:45:53.600 just running out
00:45:54.180 of time.
00:45:54.740 So we'll save
00:45:55.540 the rest for
00:45:55.920 tomorrow.
00:45:56.780 And remember,
00:45:57.220 mattwalshow
00:45:57.760 at gmail.com
00:45:58.720 if you have
00:45:59.140 any emails,
00:46:00.760 questions,
00:46:01.340 comments yourself.
00:46:02.580 And I'll talk
00:46:03.260 to you tomorrow.
00:46:04.320 Godspeed.
00:46:04.720 Hey everybody,
00:46:18.700 it's Andrew
00:46:19.000 Klavan,
00:46:19.420 host of the
00:46:20.040 Andrew Klavan
00:46:20.780 Show.
00:46:21.120 Conservatives
00:46:21.800 stop complaining
00:46:22.820 about the end
00:46:23.620 of Game of
00:46:24.180 Thrones.
00:46:24.660 It is one of
00:46:25.100 the great
00:46:25.580 cultural wins
00:46:26.980 for our side,
00:46:28.320 an eight-season
00:46:29.300 long lesson
00:46:30.100 on how a
00:46:30.880 queen let
00:46:31.680 grievance
00:46:32.320 politics
00:46:33.080 transform her
00:46:34.240 into a tyrant.
00:46:35.280 It is a mini
00:46:35.980 history of the
00:46:37.040 Democrat Party.
00:46:38.100 We'll talk about
00:46:38.680 it on the
00:46:39.180 Andrew Klavan
00:46:39.760 Show.
00:46:40.340 I'm Andrew
00:46:40.920 Klavan.
