Today on the Matt Wall Show, another debate. We've got many more of these to go. God help us all.
00:00:04.600
We're going to go over the highlights or lowlights of the debate last night, including
00:00:07.820
all of the Dems admitting, finally, that they want to give free health care to illegals.
00:00:12.900
That's something that, up until very recently, they denied. So we'll talk about that. And also,
00:00:17.980
there's an especially disgusting article that's gone viral featuring a woman bragging about all
00:00:23.160
the time she's cheated on her boyfriend. We'll go through that and talk about why it's so horrible,
00:00:28.580
although I guess you could probably guess. Talk about that and get to your emails today
00:00:40.360
Okay, there was another debate last night. I'm sure you heard about it. And we've got how many more
00:00:45.320
of these things to go? We've got like a year and a half worth of debates. Oh, my Lord. I can't.
00:00:52.240
God save me. God save me. Please just deliver me from this, Lord. I can't. I just can't do it.
00:00:58.980
I'm not crying. Well, I'm crying a little bit. I just can't imagine how, I mean, how does this happen?
00:01:05.660
How is this happening already? I feel like the campaigning never stopped. I feel like we never
00:01:10.620
left an election year. We've been in an election year my entire life, and I just can't take it anymore.
00:01:16.320
You know, I was, I'm a football fan, so I like to watch football during the season. And I also like
00:01:24.140
to watch during the season the analyst shows of where the guys all sit around, and girls too,
00:01:31.780
okay, not discriminating, like to sit around on TV and they talk about the games that happened over
00:01:37.220
the weekend and they predict what's going to happen in the upcoming games. And I like to watch those
00:01:41.020
shows, those football talk shows. But it never fails to occur to me as I'm watching it, how kind
00:01:46.820
of stupid and pointless it really is that you've got all these people sitting around talking about
00:01:50.680
a game and very seriously analyzing it and discussing, you know, which team do they think is going to do
00:01:57.540
better in the game next week than the other. But yet I enjoy watching it anyway. But really, I think
00:02:04.360
talking and analyzing, and I thought this last night as I was flipping through cable news after the
00:02:09.980
debate, watching all the talking heads, analyzing the debate. And I realized that's even more stupid
00:02:14.480
and pointless actually, because the debates are a game also. But at least with football, you know,
00:02:21.700
it's a game and nobody hides it. And also football is a lot less scripted. It's a lot less predetermined
00:02:27.840
than is a debate. But we all sit around, you know, we got all these canned lines, these pre-planned,
00:02:33.240
pre-packaged, scripted lines that these politicians had already, that they already decided they were
00:02:38.980
going to fit in. And so they give their little line and then we all discuss the loads. It was a great,
00:02:43.600
it was a great moment from her when she, well, what a great moment when she said the line that
00:02:48.220
her staffer gave to her to say. Anyway, I guess on my part, it's not very good a professional for me
00:02:56.180
to complain about the thing that I'm going to spend much of the show talking about. So forget everything
00:03:02.000
I just said. Let's start over. There was another debate last night and boy, was it exciting and relevant
00:03:08.000
to your life? And that's why I'm going to talk about it today. Now, not to spoil anything,
00:03:12.580
but the major takeaways seem to be Joe Biden is old. Bernie wants to give people free stuff.
00:03:19.040
Nobody has any idea how they're going to enact any of the policies they propose. Kamala Harris is not
00:03:26.360
accusing Biden of racism, but she's definitely accusing him of racism. And Marianne Williamson,
00:03:31.680
whoever that is, needs to lay off the Buddhism. Oh, and Andrew Yang was the only guy on the
00:03:37.920
stage with, with, with somewhat interesting ideas. I didn't say good ideas, interesting ideas,
00:03:42.520
which means naturally he was given about 14 seconds to speak. We're going to go through,
00:03:46.980
talk about some of the stuff in more depth. Um, really the headline for me is just like the night
00:03:53.000
before Wednesday night, the Democrats on the stage took off the mask and let their extremism shine
00:03:59.760
through, especially on immigration. And we'll get to that in a moment, but for the media and the
00:04:05.640
pundits, that's not going to be the headline. And you see how it really doesn't matter what
00:04:11.120
happens in the debate. What matters is the narrative the media creates after the fact.
00:04:15.400
So the media narrative, which was already predetermined was that Kamala Harris was
00:04:20.960
electrifying and wonderful. And, uh, she's now a rising star. The media is a self-fulfilling
00:04:26.200
prophecy that prophecy. They, they want her to be a rising star. They'd already decided before the
00:04:31.180
debate that she was going to be the rising star after the debate. And so now she's going to be a
00:04:35.660
rising star because they said so. Um, just like the media decided that, uh, for, for a little while,
00:04:41.940
for a few weeks, it felt like O'Rourke was the rising star. And then they got bored of him and
00:04:46.540
they said, uh, nevermind. And he's not a rising star anymore. So Harris had, uh, basically two moments.
00:04:54.480
One was a canned line that a staffer obviously gave her to use a bad line actually. And, uh,
00:05:00.180
I'll explain why in a second. And then the other was a shameful attempt, yet a successful attempt
00:05:05.060
to smear Joe Biden while pretending that she was not smearing him. Uh, nothing particularly amazing
00:05:11.200
or brilliant about any of it. It was, it was competent, but, uh, but which is more than I could
00:05:15.920
say for some of the people on the stage, but nothing amazing about it yet. We're told that it
00:05:19.500
was amazing and brilliant. So let's look first at the canned line she used that everybody is
00:05:24.840
fawning over. Watch this. Hey guys, you know what? America does not want to witness a food
00:05:32.140
fight. They want to know how we're going to put food on their table. Okay. Now again, that's a line
00:05:39.980
that someone gave her and she waited for a chance to unit, use it fine. Um, but it's actually wrong.
00:05:49.500
Okay. Two sentences and both sentences are wrong. First of all, she says that no, that people aren't
00:05:53.780
there to witness a food fight. Uh, yes, they definitely are. That's exactly why people are
00:05:58.900
tuning in. It's always funny when politicians say this at debates, they say, Hey folks, but you know,
00:06:03.900
people aren't watching this to see us fight. Okay. Yes, we are. That's all. That's the only reason
00:06:09.960
we're watching it. So yes, please fight. That's the whole reason, but more to the point, she says
00:06:16.000
that, um, we want to know, uh, well, we don't want to see a food fight. We want to know how are they
00:06:22.660
going to put food on our table? They being the politicians again? Uh, no is the answer to that.
00:06:30.840
I don't want to know that. Uh, I I'm not watching a debate to find out how food is, how are you going
00:06:38.460
to put food on my table? It was like my kids come in. Hey dad, what's for dinner tomorrow? Uh, I don't
00:06:45.700
know. I'll watch the debate tonight. I'll let you know what Kamala Harris has to say. Okay. I got to
00:06:49.180
check with her first. Maybe she's going to make us lasagna, but I'm not sure yet. Don't get your
00:06:52.940
hopes up. Um, no, that's that. What a gross and patronizing and stupid line that everybody
00:06:58.700
applauds. Oh my gosh, what a line. Do you notice how she said food? And then she used food again.
00:07:03.380
She used food in two different contexts. That was a mate. Wow. Wow. Guys, that was really smart. That
00:07:07.860
was great. What a great line. What a moment. What a moment of that line was. No, it was a moment of
00:07:13.640
utter stupidity. What? That's what you want. You want politicians to put food on your table.
00:07:19.300
You pathetic infantilized baby. Not you specifically who are watching this. I'm sure you're not that I'm
00:07:26.980
just yelling at the hypothetical person who thinks that's a good line. Um, uh, that, that, so that's
00:07:33.440
nanny state of statism in the extreme. It's an infantilizing and insulting. Um, and it's just,
00:07:39.960
it's just not true. But of course it got huge applause because, because she's half right.
00:07:43.940
Some folks actually do want to know, um, how politicians are going to put food on their table.
00:07:50.840
There are some people in this country who are like, uh, baby birds basically with their chirping,
00:07:56.800
with their eyes closed and their mouths open, just waiting for a bureaucracy to regurgitate pre-chewed
00:08:03.260
food into their mouth. There are people in this country that are like that. Unfortunately,
00:08:06.520
quite a lot of people and the Democrat party is trying to breed more of them, but it is just
00:08:11.240
disgusting and wrong. And so that was a bad line. Um, so that was, that was Kamala Harris. Um,
00:08:20.160
Bernie Sanders, there were a couple of interesting moments with Bernie Sanders and we'll talk about
00:08:25.020
those in just a minute. But first, uh, you know, it's, it's summertime and the only thing more
00:08:31.880
annoying than having to watch 57 Democrat debates while the life is slowly sucked out of you are
00:08:40.300
flies and other insects invading your home. And, uh, who knows, you know, where those flies have been
00:08:45.400
a fly landing on your salad salad or on your, on your sandwich could have been on a dirty diaper
00:08:51.620
before. Okay. Could have been in a garbage heap. Um, could have been on a dead squirrel. Okay. I mean,
00:08:59.540
they're, I could keep listing things that it could have been on because flies are gross. So you don't
00:09:03.480
want that. That's why we'd like to thank our sponsors over at Dynatrap. Dynatrap is the leading
00:09:07.920
manufacturer of outdoor mosquito and insect traps. And now they've come up with a solution for indoor
00:09:12.740
pests. The Dynatrap fly light, the Dynatrap fly light works day and night to attract and trap flies,
00:09:19.740
fruit flies, mosquitoes, other pesky, pesky insects. And, uh, I'll tell you, it works for me. We've got
00:09:25.020
these things. We've got a bunch of them all over the house now. Um, and they are because kids are
00:09:31.560
always leaving the door open. That's one thing kids are incapable of doing is shutting a door
00:09:35.000
behind them. So they leave the door open flies come in, but these things really take care of
00:09:38.320
the flies. In fact, I was walking. I had, we have one up here and I was, uh, walking by one. There was
00:09:43.200
a, there was a beetle trapped in there and the beetle was trying to escape, but I just sat and watched
00:09:49.780
the beetle trying to get out. And I said, she'll never escape beetle. And I rubbed my hands together
00:09:55.460
very nefariously. Uh, but that's kind of weird. You don't have to do that. But the point is that
00:09:59.740
Dynatrap takes care of the problems. Um, if you want to get a Dynatrap fly light, you can get yours

00:10:28.240
moments with him. Speaking of nanny statism and baby birds chirping for food to be regurgitated into
00:10:35.560
their mouths. Uh, Bernie Sanders wants very much to be the mama bird for all of us spitting food into
00:10:42.200
our mouths, which is a horrifying mental image that you now have in your head. Thanks to me.
00:10:47.680
There were a couple of interesting moments with him. The first was when he finally admitted,
00:10:52.720
um, that he wants to take money from the middle class. Now he always pretends that, oh, all the
00:10:58.760
money's going to come from the millionaires and billionaires, but here he finally, I want you to
00:11:02.920
watch this whole exchange because he finally admits it. Watch this right here. Will taxes go up for the
00:11:08.020
middle class in a Sanders administration? And if so, how do you sell that to voters?
00:11:13.060
Well, you're quite right. We have a new vision for America. And at a time when we have three people
00:11:19.940
in this country owning more wealth than the bottom half of America, while 500,000 people are sleeping
00:11:26.980
out on the streets today, we think it is time for change, real change. And by that, I mean that
00:11:34.660
health care, in my view, is a human right. And we have got to pass a Medicare for All single-payer system.
00:11:42.900
Under that system, by the way, the vast majority of the people in this country will be paying
00:11:51.140
significantly less for health care than they are right now. I believe that education is the future
00:11:57.940
for this country. And that is why I believe that we must make public colleges and universities tuition
00:12:04.740
free and eliminate student debt. And we do that by placing a tax on Wall Street. Every proposal that
00:12:15.380
I have brought forth is fully paid for. Senator Sanders, I'll give you 10 seconds just to answer
00:12:21.220
the very direct question. Will you raise taxes for the middle class in a Sanders administration?
00:12:27.940
People who have health care under Medicare for All will have no premiums, no deductibles,
00:12:33.620
no copayments, no out-of-pocket expenses. Yes, they will pay more in taxes, but less in health care
00:12:40.820
for what they get. All right. He comes out with it once and for all, which is good because Bernie really
00:12:45.940
hates to go into specifics and you've got to trap him to get him to do it. And so he finally says,
00:12:50.660
oh yeah, well, I'm going to help the middle class by taking money from the middle class. That's
00:12:55.060
basically his plan. But speaking of his plan, there was another moment where, again, remember,
00:13:06.740
he likes to scream about millionaires and billionaires. That's his whole thing. And drug companies,
00:13:10.180
right? Those are the bad guys. But there was one part of the debate where the moderators actually did a
00:13:18.980
good job. And they tried a couple of times saying, hey, Bernie, okay, you want to give health care to
00:13:25.140
everybody, free stuff to everybody. How are you going to do it? It's a very specific question,
00:13:29.540
very reasonable question, not a gotcha, not a trap question. How are you going to do it?
00:13:34.340
Senator Sanders, you basically want to scrap the private health insurance system as we know it and
00:13:44.260
replace it with a government run plan. None of the states that have tried something like that,
00:13:48.420
California, Vermont, New York has struggled with it, have been successful. If politicians
00:13:53.380
can't make it work in those states, how would you implement it on a national level? How does this work?
00:13:57.700
I find it hard to believe that every other major country on earth, including my neighbor,
00:14:05.700
50 miles north of me in Canada, somehow has figured out a way to provide health care to every man,
00:14:12.180
woman and child. And in most cases, they're spending 50% per capita what we are spending. Let's be clear.
00:14:20.260
Let us be very clear. The function of health care today from the insurance and drug company perspective
00:14:28.820
is not to provide quality care to all in a cost-effective way. The function of the health
00:14:34.820
care system today is to make billions in profits for the insurance companies. And last year, if you
00:14:41.300
could believe it, while we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs, and I will lower
00:14:47.380
prescription drug prices in half in this country, top 10 companies make $69 billion in profit.
00:14:55.140
They will spend hundreds of millions of dollars lying to the American people telling us why we cannot
00:15:02.340
have a Medicare for all single-payer program. I just have to follow up there. How do you implement it
00:15:07.700
on a national level? How do you implement it on a national level given the fact that it's not succeeded
00:15:13.140
and other states have tried? I will tell you how we'll do it. We'll do it the way
00:15:17.220
real change has always taken place, whether it was the labor movement, the civil rights movement,
00:15:22.260
or the women's movement. We will have Medicare for all when tens of millions of people are prepared
00:15:29.140
to stand up and tell the insurance companies and the drug companies that their day is gone,
00:15:35.860
that health care is a human right, not something to make huge profits off of.
00:15:41.460
Senator Sanders, how are you going to give health care to all? Well, I'll tell you how.
00:15:45.620
We're going to give health care to all. Okay, but how? By giving health care to all.
00:15:50.900
Yeah, but how though? Well, health care to all. That's how we're going to do it.
00:15:57.140
Well, if that was uncomfortable, which it was, it was nothing compared to this, which is the moment
00:16:05.060
that people are raving about of Harris calling Biden a racist, but not calling him a racist.
00:16:12.500
Watch. Growing up, my sister and I had to deal with the neighbor who told us her parents couldn't
00:16:17.940
play with us because she, because we were black. And I will say also that, that in this campaign,
00:16:24.420
we've also heard, and I'm going to now direct this at Vice President Biden.
00:16:28.100
I do not believe you are a racist. And I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance
00:16:37.060
of finding common ground. But I also believe, and it is personal, and I was actually very,
00:16:43.060
it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States senators who built
00:16:51.540
their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country.
00:16:57.220
And it was not only that, but you also worked with them to oppose busing. And, you know,
00:17:05.860
there was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools.
00:17:12.660
And she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.
00:17:19.380
So I will tell you that on this subject, it cannot be an intellectual debate among Democrats.
00:17:26.020
That's, that's really, and I'm not a Joe Biden fan, but I, I, that's one of the dirtiest things
00:17:31.620
I've ever seen, or at least that I've seen in a while at a debate. It's certainly in the top 10.
00:17:38.660
And you knew it was going to be bad. As soon as she said, Vice President Biden,
00:17:42.260
I don't think you're a racist, but see the, but when you attach a, but it's a very magical,
00:17:48.580
but that you're attaching. When you attach a, but to a statement, like, I don't think you're a racist,
00:17:54.740
or I'm not a racist. It's just, anytime there's a butt after the word racist, then you, what happened
00:18:01.140
is what's going on is that everything before that, but has been erased. So it's forget about
00:18:07.700
what was said before the, but now it's just, let's move on to the statement. And she, she moves on to
00:18:12.820
accusing Biden of, of racism, basically, even though she knows that Biden is not a racist. She knows it.
00:18:19.700
I mean, it's, there are a lot of things you could say about Biden, many of them not good,
00:18:22.740
but one, but one thing you cannot honestly say about him is that he's a racist. Um, and they
00:18:28.500
all know that. And at any rate, if they really do think the guy is a segregationist bigot Klansman,
00:18:35.260
basically, then they're to blame for saying nothing about it for 40 years. Harris never,
00:18:41.360
Harris has been in the game for a while now. She never said anything about it during the Obama
00:18:45.140
administration. She never, she never said, Hey, by the way, uh, Barack Obama, you chose a racist
00:18:49.760
segregationist who opposed busing. And, uh, you know, who, who caused me all this pain as a young
00:18:54.880
girl. That's a, an emotional story, an emotional moment that, uh, I'm sure she rehearsed plenty of
00:19:01.100
times beforehand, but it's an emotional moment. We're told, yeah, where was that emotional moment
00:19:06.000
for the eight years that, that, that he was vice president. If you really think that he's got some,
00:19:13.060
that he's either a segregationist himself, or he's got some warm feelings about segregation or whatever,
00:19:19.260
then why didn't you say anything? So I, we have two options here now for Harris, either she's just a
00:19:27.300
lying fraud or she's a coward who allowed a segregationist racist bigot, uh, to be in the
00:19:36.780
white house all those years and said not in her own party and said nothing. So those are the
00:19:42.840
options, but maybe Biden is learning something at the age of 76, which is that, um, in the Democrat
00:19:49.460
party, in the modern Democrat party, anyway, you're racist. If you're a white man, um, especially an
00:19:55.800
old one. And it's as simple as that. You're not going to get away from it. You're going to be
00:20:00.400
accused of racism. They're kind of accusing mayor Pete of racism a little bit. They're, they're throwing
00:20:04.480
a race thing at him. Um, they're not doing it with Swalwell, but only because he's polling at negative
00:20:09.360
32%. So it doesn't matter. Uh, once you, as a white man, if you, if you peek your head above
00:20:14.840
the fray a little bit, you're going to get cut down with racism claims. That's the way that it
00:20:18.260
works now in the modern Democrat party. Um, all right, a couple other things. Here's the moment
00:20:23.820
when the Democrats, when the Democrats really let their extremist flag fly, uh, which they did two
00:20:35.820
nights ago and they did it again last night. Here it is. A lot of you have been talking tonight
00:20:39.880
about these government healthcare plans that you've proposed in one form or another. This
00:20:44.580
is a show of hands question and hold them up for a moment so people can see. Raise your hand if
00:20:50.340
government, if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.
00:20:57.480
I am old enough to remember. Um, I'm old enough to remember up until
00:21:05.180
you know, the last 55 seconds or so when Democrats always pretended that they weren't giving, uh,
00:21:14.780
healthcare to illegals, that they didn't want to get free healthcare. In fact, they not only,
00:21:17.900
they don't, they not only denied that claim, but they said that claim is absurd, ridiculous,
00:21:21.500
a lie. We would never do that. And now all of them are just raising the, Hey, do you want to give
00:21:26.800
free healthcare to everybody in the world? Anyone who happens to cross the border? Oh yeah, sure.
00:21:30.740
Me too. Yep. And then of course it's an applause line from the train seals in the audience.
00:21:34.140
Um, who, by the way, those are the people that in any debate, the people that I hate the most are
00:21:40.700
the, the audience. They always hate is a strong word. Uh, they are the ones who I am the most annoyed
00:21:45.940
by always are the audience members who just will clap at anything, um, without even thinking about it.
00:21:51.820
So now we're clapping at giving healthcare to, well, okay. So yeah, just, just, yeah. Give free
00:21:56.560
healthcare to anyone in the world, no matter who they are. Uh, sure. Why not? Let's give free
00:22:01.560
healthcare to 7 billion people. Uh, why not? I mean, I can't, I can't think of any reason why
00:22:06.320
that wouldn't work except for maybe about 7 billion reasons. Um, it's just, it's, it's total madness.
00:22:13.060
And it's also, it's not just stupid and mad and, and impractical and all those things. It is those
00:22:19.480
things, but it's also morally abominable. It's, it's, it is, it is a moral atrocity. What you just
00:22:26.060
witnessed cloaked in compassion, of course, cloaked in this, uh, claim of, uh, they want to help people.
00:22:32.520
They want to help sick people. What they're doing is they are enticing more people to come across the
00:22:39.080
border. They are enticing more people to cross the Rio Grande. Um, just like that father and daughter
00:22:44.240
did and drowned in the process. They are enticing more people to make that dangerous, potentially
00:22:49.340
fatal hazardous trek across deserts, across rivers, across, uh, places where there are drug cartels and
00:22:56.740
bandits and wild animals. They are enticing people to do that by saying, yeah, come here and we'll
00:23:01.540
take care of all your medical bills. It is, uh, it is, that's not the kind of thing you say if you
00:23:07.520
actually care about these people. All right. Uh, finally, let's lighten the mood a bit. A woman named,
00:23:14.620
uh, Marianne will Williamson was also there. I'm not sure why, but she was there and her contributions
00:23:21.380
were like, well, you know how you have that one aunt who comes to Thanksgiving and derails every
00:23:28.020
conversation with irrelevant personal stories. And all you can do while she babbles a smile politely
00:23:32.600
and wait for her to start to stop talking so that you can continue the conversation where you left off
00:23:37.320
before she interjected. Um, you know, that, that, we all have that, that, that, that person at the
00:23:42.900
Thanksgiving table, um, Williamson not only behaved like that aunt, but she even kinds of,
00:23:49.220
kind of looks like that aunt. Um, she looks like every person's eccentric aunt. Uh, so there were
00:23:57.100
a couple of moments with her. Here's my favorite, probably my favorite Williamson moment right here.
00:24:02.660
My first call is to the prime minister of New Zealand who said that her goal is to make New
00:24:08.120
Zealand the place where it's the best place in the world for a child to grow up. And I will tell her
00:24:12.640
girlfriend, you are so on because the United States of America is going to be the best place in the
00:24:17.420
world for a child to grow up. You guys were close with the short, at least it was shorter.
00:24:23.700
What'd she say? It was hard for me to understand, but she said, girlfriend, you are so on. Um, which
00:24:28.780
I am going to start using that phrase a lot more than I have in the past because I never have before,
00:24:33.680
but girlfriend, you are so on. That's a great phrase, but she now if, so she's claiming that she had
00:24:40.180
a conversation with a New Zealand prime minister, I guess, and the, the, the prime minister of New
00:24:44.500
Zealand said, I'm going to make a New Zealand, the best place for a young girl to grow up.
00:24:48.700
And, uh, Williamson said, girlfriend, you are so on because I'm going to make America when I'm
00:24:53.000
president, I'm going to make America the best place to grow up. If that conversation actually
00:24:57.480
happened, which it probably didn't, but if it did, I can only imagine the prime minister of New
00:25:02.960
Zealand, what her facial expression must've been when Marianne Williamson is claiming that she's
00:25:07.320
going to be president and she's going to change the country. You know, the New Zealand prime minister
00:25:10.640
was probably like, yeah, sure. Hmm. Yeah. I know you are. I know you are, Marianne. Yeah. That's
00:25:15.780
going to be great when you're president. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Um, and then here was her, her, uh,
00:25:23.340
closing statement. I'm sorry. We haven't talked more tonight about how we're going to beat Donald
00:25:27.900
Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider
00:25:33.540
politics talk. He's not going to be beaten just by somebody who has plans. He's going to be beaten by
00:25:39.320
somebody who has an idea of what this man has done. This man has reached into the psyche of the
00:25:44.040
American people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes. So, Mr. President, if you're
00:25:49.820
listening, I want you to hear me, please. You have harnessed fear for political purposes and only love can
00:25:55.320
cast that out. So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you're doing. I'm going to harness love for
00:26:01.740
political purposes. I will meet you on that field and, sir, love will win. We got to harness the
00:26:07.660
power of love. She, Marianne Williamson basically speaks like 80s pop lyrics. She speaks in 80s songs
00:26:19.620
is, uh, I think that's, that's, I would, that's how I would nail it down for her, but it was good to
00:26:24.980
have her and, uh, have her there and kind of breaking up the monotony a little bit. And, uh, honestly, I,
00:26:31.440
I hope that she is the nominee. I think that that would be a lot of fun. Okay. Before we go any
00:26:38.140
further, I need to tell you about Freedom Project Academy. Um, this year, nearly $70 billion with a B
00:26:45.100
of taxpayer money will be sent, spent on public education. Yet a new report finds that just two
00:26:50.920
and five American students are actually ready to attend college. So the public education, the money
00:26:55.860
we're spending, it's not doing the job. Public education is not doing the job. And we could see
00:27:01.000
that all around. Just look anywhere and you can see, just walk outside of your house, uh, have,
00:27:06.580
have interactions with human beings in this country. And you could tell that, okay, public education is
00:27:10.860
not working. Many of you then have been searching for a school with traditional values that help
00:27:15.500
students develop strong foundations in math, science, English, American history, the kind of
00:27:20.700
education where, where, where students are taught how to think, not just what the thing, not, not
00:27:25.120
taught, you know, what things to parrot, what concepts and, and, and phrases to repeat, but how
00:27:32.000
to work through problems. Your search is over. Freedom Project Academy is an accredited online school
00:27:38.260
built on Judeo-Christian values and classical curriculum for students from K all the way through
00:27:42.500
high school. Talking about a complete interactive educational experience where students attend live
00:27:46.960
classes with other students from across the country. Freedom Project Academy provides live
00:27:51.940
and recorded lessons, homework, tests, tutoring, grades, transcripts. So it's all there. This is the

freedom for school.com freedom for school.com. All right. Uh, there's, there's an article in Cosmo
00:28:36.260
that's gone viral online and it's a Cosmo article. So of course it's stupid and gross and just bad in
00:28:44.540
every way, but I actually think that there's something we can learn from this one. The title
00:28:48.820
is I've cheated on every boyfriend I've ever had and I don't regret it. Now, um, the writer who bravely
00:28:58.560
remains anonymous goes into elaborate details about the many times that she's cheated. I'm not going to
00:29:04.480
read all the details. You can just imagine what it's like, uh, what this article is like all,
00:29:11.240
but I will read, um, let me read a few step snippets just so you get an idea. Uh, she says
00:29:16.280
cheating is one of the big no-nos, a flashing do not pass sign. One of the few things most people
00:29:21.760
in the world can agree is very bad. It's a capital S scandal, something you have to have literally
00:29:26.960
Beyonce level strength to forgive. And I would know I saw one of my parents do it to the other.
00:29:32.520
And now because of that, they are no longer married still knowing this. I've cheated on all
00:29:36.420
three of my serious boyfriends. I'm not completely morally bankrupt. Yes, you are. And I feel bad for
00:29:41.920
lying. Even if the lie only live for a few days or weeks until I broke up with each guy, but I don't
00:29:47.020
regret each instance of cheating. Not really because although they were all very different, each experience
00:29:51.680
taught me crucial things about myself and my sexuality in my early twenties. Uh, before I go on,
00:29:56.720
go for, go further. Um, just imagine how she says she's not morally bankrupt, but of course, imagine how
00:30:06.220
morally bankrupt you have to be to cheat when you're just dating someone. Now cheating when you're married
00:30:15.340
is more serious and worse. Um, but there's one uniquely awful element of cheating in a non-marriage
00:30:25.780
relationship. And that is that you can leave the relationship easily. Like if, if you're, if you
00:30:31.240
really are not into this person so much so that you're, that you want to cheat on them, then just,
00:30:36.800
you can, you can, you can just call them on that. You can send a text message. If you want to,
00:30:40.760
you could literally, now that's, that would still make you kind of a scumbag, but it's better than
00:30:45.080
cheating. You could literally just send a text message right before you're about to cheat and
00:30:49.660
just say, Hey, it's not working out, working out. We're, we're breaking up again. You're still a
00:30:52.760
jerk and a scumbag if you do that, but at least then you're not technically cheating. I mean,
00:30:56.800
or, or you could, if you could control yourself, you could hold off for, I don't know, 24 hours and
00:31:04.120
just sit down with the person and say, listen, uh, this isn't working. I'm not into it. I've, I,
00:31:08.700
I am strongly tempted to cheat on you. And so obviously this isn't happening. Let's break up.
00:31:13.980
I, if you could just hold off on 24, you can't even do that. You're, you're, you're so, you have
00:31:19.860
so little control and so little concern for other people, including this person that you've been
00:31:26.520
with and you've probably claimed that you love. And at a minimum you've spent time with, and at a
00:31:32.760
point you had some affection for, you have so little concern for, for, for them and for their
00:31:37.700
emotional state. It's like, they're nothing. They're just garbage to you that you can't even
00:31:41.480
hold off for a few hours and just break it off and then go do what you want to do, which I don't
00:31:48.600
recommend that, but it's at least then you're not cheating. And so that's what makes it. I just,
00:31:53.760
I don't get it. I don't get the cheat, even though it happens all the time in non-marriage
00:31:58.240
relationships. What's the, just break up. You can, there's nothing. You don't have kids.
00:32:03.540
You don't, you have nothing. It's nothing. Just break up. Um, so anyway. Okay. Uh, and then
00:32:11.460
she even says, Oh, well, we broke up a few days later. Okay. You couldn't have waited.
00:32:14.340
So why do you do that first? She says, uh, the frenzy. Okay. Then she, she, um, where are we
00:32:22.980
here? Uh, she moves on and she's describing, uh, one of her cheating experiences. This is what she's
00:32:30.420
cheating with a guy named Drew on her boyfriend, Matt. Um, the frenzied grabbing and kissing on
00:32:38.000
Drew's bed that night, for instance, didn't immediately reveal to me how badly I needed to
00:32:42.880
break up with Matt, but it did show me that my sexuality hadn't dried up. Like I was worrying
00:32:46.820
it had, I was still capable of feeling tingly and wild over the coming weeks. I noticed how
00:32:51.600
not there that feeling was with Matt, how it had never really been there at all. It wasn't
00:32:56.380
me that was broken. It was our relationship. No, it's you. Uh, mainly it's just you. You're
00:33:00.560
a terrible person. And I think it would have, uh, it would have taken me so much longer to
00:33:04.960
realize that if I just walked out of Drew, Drew's room that night, but she's saying that she
00:33:09.580
couldn't, how could she possibly, possibly realize that her relationship with Matt,
00:33:12.880
wasn't working if she didn't cheat on him multiple times with some guy named Drew.
00:33:16.680
I mean, most of us can figure these things out without treating, cheating on our significant
00:33:20.440
others with a guy named Drew or anyone else. Uh, but she, she couldn't do it. It said she,
00:33:24.840
she had, there's no way she could have figured it out. Um, so I don't really think cheating
00:33:30.980
is a capital offense, not when you're young and still trying to learn how your heart and
00:33:34.520
body work. I think about the way my grandparents were in their eighties and still happily married
00:33:38.940
talk about their early relationships and how much more laid back they were than, than, uh,
00:33:44.020
than any of mine. They talk about going on dates and groups of people and attraction that felt like
00:33:48.460
popcorn in a hot pan, quick and random. Things were casual and open until they were very serious.
00:33:53.280
That's not really how people date anymore. And so instead some people cheat. Okay. But your
00:33:57.480
grandpa, they're saying they went on dates with groups. That doesn't mean that they were having sex
00:34:01.420
with all those people. It just means that they went on dates with groups. People still do that.
00:34:05.460
It's a normal thing to do. I don't think your grandparents were confessing to be poly to
00:34:09.380
being polyamorous. That's not the point they were trying to make. Um, then she goes into more
00:34:14.300
details about the guys that she slept with behind the backs of guys she's dated. Um,
00:34:18.820
and then she says, uh, this is the part where I tell you that I don't regret cheating. It also
00:34:24.480
doesn't feel great though. Guilt is like a gas in that it will expand to fill whatever container it's
00:34:29.560
in. I felt the pressure of it building inside me and it was painful. Oh, poor her poor, poor baby.
00:34:35.460
Still regret and guilt are separate feelings. And I know that given the chance, I wouldn't do any of
00:34:40.280
this differently because otherwise I'm not really sure who I'd be now. Well, you'd be a better person
00:34:46.040
rather than a dirt bag is what you would be. Um, and then she comes to the conclusion, which she
00:34:50.700
arrives at after cheating on another boyfriend with an ex-boyfriend who she'd also cheated on.
00:34:56.200
Okay. So now she's, she's cheating on another guy with the guy, Matt from before. Remember Matt?
00:35:00.840
Well, Matt's back in the picture. She's cheating on another guy with Matt. Um, and she says,
00:35:05.820
I'd come a long way since the night on Drew's bed. When I first cheated on Matt, I learned so much
00:35:10.920
about myself in the years since then, like how it feels to be in love, how a kiss feels when I really
00:35:15.860
want it and how sex feels when love and wanting it converge. That third lesson is so rare to learn
00:35:21.940
and perfect. When you experience it, how could I ever regret doing any of the things I did to find
00:35:27.240
it? So there you go. Uh, here's a follow-up article that I'm just predicting follow-up article in 20
00:35:36.220
years. The title is going to be, I'm miserable and alone, and it's all men's fault. That's going to be
00:35:44.100
the follow-up article because this, this is someone who, you know, if this is your attitude, you are going
00:35:49.560
to die alone. I know you're young as well. I'm young. You're not going to be young forever. In
00:35:53.500
fact, you're going to be young. If you're in your twenties, I mean, by the time you're in your thirties,
00:35:57.280
you're not, you're still young, but you're not really it. You're, you're definitely like in grown
00:36:01.800
up territory. Now you are, you were in your twenties too, but in your thirties, you just, you, you can't
00:36:06.340
deny it anymore. Um, so that's already almost gone for you. It sounds like, and, um, you're going to be
00:36:14.980
old or older for a lot longer than you were young. And so now you're just ensuring that you're going
00:36:21.900
to be alone and miserable, and you're going to die alone and no one is going to weep for you or
00:36:26.560
care. I mean that, and not to be harsh about it, but well, yeah, I am being harsh on purpose because
00:36:30.780
that's the reality. When you live a selfish narcissistic life and you never learn how to
00:36:36.920
commit yourself to anyone, you never learn how to have integrity or fidelity or loyalty. You're,
00:36:42.500
you're going to be alone. You're going to die and there's not going to be anyone around to care.
00:36:46.600
All your friends are going to be either dead or they're going to, you know, by then they're all
00:36:50.000
going to have their own lives that they're going to be worried about. And, um, that's what you're
00:36:55.040
setting yourself up for. Um, now, and I think that, so that maybe the two things that we take from this
00:37:04.240
is that, you know, she's approaching relationships from this intensely selfish
00:37:11.700
perspective. She's not the only one. Now this might be an extreme example,
00:37:17.660
but I think that's how most people approach relationships actually these days, even if
00:37:23.900
they're not serial cheaters, but she's just taking what is a common kind of, um, philosophy for human
00:37:31.760
relationships these days. And she's just taking it to its logical extension, which again, will lead
00:37:37.200
all the way to her dying alone. Um, I, I, but I think that a lot of, so she's all the way she's,
00:37:44.680
she's taking the train all the way there. A lot of people are on the same track
00:37:47.800
because how she keeps talking about, Oh, this is how it made me feel and, and, and how I feel
00:37:54.660
and what I need. I, me, I, me, I, me. Right. I think that's, that's how people have been raised
00:38:01.600
and trained and, and conditioned to approach relationships. Does it make you happy? It's
00:38:08.300
all about you. There's no element of service sacrifice that the word sacrifice. We have
00:38:18.540
pretty much completely removed from relation discussions of relationships or discussions of
00:38:25.140
anything. And you just, you, you, you cannot have a healthy relationship of any kind with anyone,
00:38:32.500
but especially a romantic relationship and especially a marriage. If you're not willing
00:38:36.480
to make sacrifices for the other person. Uh, it's simple. It's as simple as that.
00:38:43.920
Um, all to also notice how she treats guilt and shame as these objectively bad things.
00:38:50.060
Oh, guilt and shame. No guilt and shame are good.
00:38:52.820
It, the thing that prompted the guilt and shame is not good. And that's why you have the guilt and
00:38:58.480
shame, but the fact that you're feeling it is good. So guilt and shame is good in the same way
00:39:03.440
that the, the sensation in your finger from your nerve endings, uh, that painful sensation when you
00:39:09.580
touch a hot stove is good. The sensation is good. It doesn't feel good, but it is good because it lets
00:39:16.040
you know, take your hand off the stove, you dummy. And that's another thing we, we, that's a distinction.
00:39:22.340
We fail to grasp these days. There is sometimes something can be good, even though it doesn't
00:39:31.000
feel good. And sometimes something can be bad, even though it does feel good. So those two,
00:39:39.040
you know, feeling good and being good are not the same. That guilty feeling is that part is good
00:39:46.320
because it's a, it's the hand, it is the, it is the pain in your finger, letting you know that
00:39:50.380
morally speaking, you have your hand on a hot stove and it's time to pull it away.
00:39:56.440
All right. Um, let's, uh, we're going to get to emails in a minute, but first I want to tell you
00:40:01.740
about big token. Big token is a new app that lets you share data about yourself, your interests,
00:40:06.480
your habits, and then you get paid for it because right now you share a lot of information already
00:40:11.160
that you don't get paid for. Uh, well, it's time that you take back control that you make some money
00:40:16.460
off of your own information. That's where big token comes in. Here's how it works. First, you
00:40:20.940
download the app, you sign up for a free big token account. I've done this myself. It's very easy.
00:40:24.800
It only takes a minute. Um, next you complete actions to earn points. Actions include answering
00:40:29.600
surveys, checking into locations, connecting your social accounts and more. Then you can redeem your
00:40:34.400
points for rewards, such as cash, gift cards. Uh, you could donate to charity. I didn't choose that
00:40:40.440
option just to be honest with you, but you can choose it if you want to. Um, you choose the data
00:40:45.220
you share with big token and then you get paid for it. And you can also get more points just by
00:40:49.820
referring friends and family. Your data is always secure in big token. You don't have to worry about
00:40:55.940
that. There's a lot of problems with data these days being misused and abused. Well, you don't have
00:40:59.640
to worry about it with big token based on the data you choose to share. You'll be placed into specific
00:41:03.620
ad groups and brands will buy access to those ad groups, uh, for use in personalized advertising.
00:41:09.280
The best part, again, you get paid. If you want to start earning money for your data, go to the
00:41:14.200
app store or Google play search for big token. That's B I G T O K E N. That's one word. Download
00:41:19.660
the app, sign up, make sure to use my referral code, Matt Walsh. Again, search big token in the app store
00:41:26.040
or on Google play, download the app, use my referral code, Matt Walsh to sign up, claim your data and get
00:41:33.200
paid with big token. All right. Uh, Matt Walsh show at gmail.com is the email address. This is from
00:41:41.920
Rodolfo says, hi, Matt, long time listener. Since pride has been the topic of the month. I, and I agree
00:41:47.360
with arguments, uh, from your fellow daily wire contributors that pride is the queen of all vices.
00:41:53.320
I came to a realization that pride is what keeps me from taking family handouts in the form of money
00:41:58.880
and the urge to get ahead on my own. My question is, is this form of pride bad as well? And if so,
00:42:06.740
uh, am I confused with my reasoning for preferring to do everything on my own? Thanks. Love the show.
00:42:12.340
Hope your recovery is going well. Well, I thank you for that. Um, well, I, uh, and it's not going well.
00:42:18.360
I'm in extreme pain every moment and my life is miserable. Um, no, I'm just kidding. Actually,
00:42:22.120
it's going fine. I, I think that we, we have to distinguish between a few things, pride,
00:42:30.980
confidence, dignity. And those are three different things. So just because you're confident doesn't
00:42:38.280
mean that you're prideful. Um, confidence is just recognizing abilities that you have
00:42:44.860
and realizing that they're there. That's what confidence is. Nothing wrong with that. That's
00:42:48.820
good. Actually. You want to have that. And just because you have dignity, um, doesn't mean that
00:42:53.960
you're prideful. I think your desire to get ahead on your own and your belief and not to take handouts
00:42:58.660
and your belief that you can, to me, that seems like a combination of dignity and confidence.
00:43:05.340
You're confident. You can do it. Um, you have, you, you want, you're dignified. You want to be able
00:43:11.960
to stand on your own two feet as a man that's dignity. And, um, so that's, that's what I would say now
00:43:17.320
that can bleed into pride. If you're really in dire need and you really need help. And sometimes
00:43:24.600
we all need help and that's fine to reach out. If you're really in dire need and, and you still
00:43:29.000
refuse help, then yeah, I think it's prideful. Like I have extreme example. If you're, if you're
00:43:35.540
drowning in the water and a lifeguard is going to come save you and you say, oh, no, no, I got it.
00:43:40.700
I got it. Don't worry about it. I got it. And then you just drown. Well, you, you literally
00:43:43.880
drowned from your pride. Your pride is what sunk you there. Um, or a less extreme example would be
00:43:50.420
the stereotypical, but in my experience, completely accurate thing where the men, a man is lost and
00:43:56.440
doesn't want to stop for directions because he wants to figure it out on his own. That's how I am,
00:44:00.160
even though it's so cliched. Um, uh, that's also pride. So I think that's how you sort through that.
00:44:12.440
QB says, Matt, I want to say something regarding your argument in, uh, this episode of your podcast
00:44:22.280
referring to episode I did a few days ago. You say at 1804 that the border is open.
00:44:27.980
In what universe is that true? There are thousands of border agents and immigration officers. Uh, there
00:44:34.260
are hundreds of miles of physical barrier. I don't see how making immigration even more illegal will
00:44:38.760
prevent anyone from dying, trying to get in. Seriously. The only reason this family took the
00:44:43.060
dangerous route they did was to get a, get around border security. If the U S border were actually
00:44:47.420
open as it should be, then this family would not have died since they could have just walked in
00:44:51.120
through a safer path. Matt, you sound like someone who wants to respond to the black market and drugs
00:44:55.320
by making drugs even more illegal. I know that you understand that prohibition makes the drug trade
00:45:00.040
more dangerous. Why can't you understand that for human movement? Uh, would you have responded to the
00:45:05.660
existence of the likes of Al Capone by making alcohol more illegal? Well, you're right. If the
00:45:12.060
border was completely open and we had no immigration laws of any kind and no, we weren't even attempting in
00:45:17.400
any way to enforce the border, then yeah, people would be able to just walk right across and probably
00:45:22.520
fewer of them would die in the process. The only problem is that they would have no reason to even
00:45:28.540
attempt it in that case, because in short order, our country would be just a failed state, like the
00:45:34.440
countries to the South of us, the countries that those people are fleeing from. So this is really
00:45:39.980
simple to me, right? We have a border for the same reason that you have a door on your house and you have
00:45:45.860
walls, which comprise your house. If you didn't have walls and you didn't have a door, you wouldn't have a
00:45:51.400
house. It's the exact same concept. Without a border, we don't have a country. Same concept. In order to
00:45:59.260
be a country, we need to, we need there to be a distinction between our country and the ones
00:46:05.160
surrounding it. And we need to be able to define and, and enforce that distinction.
00:46:12.400
Being a citizen has to mean something. It can't just be, oh, you happen to walk across this line
00:46:20.860
in the sand. Because if it doesn't mean anything, and we just fling the doors open to everyone,
00:46:28.140
then how long do you think we last as America? There's a reason why people want to come here.
00:46:35.200
The reason is that we are not those other countries. If we become those other countries,
00:46:41.560
then we are not in any position to help the people from those countries. All right. Finally,
00:46:47.000
this is from Katie says, hi, Matt. I've recently started listening to your show and I'm really
00:46:50.140
glad I found it. What are your thoughts on the Pope changing the Lord's prayer? I'm asking you
00:46:55.460
specifically as a Catholic, who's supposed to follow the Pope's interpretation of the Bible.
00:46:59.120
Does it bother you that he believes God misspoke when telling the disciples his prayer?
00:47:03.220
Or is this something that should have been changed from the start? Well, first of all,
00:47:07.780
I am not, I'm not required to follow the Pope's personal interpretation of Bible passages. I disagree
00:47:14.920
with many of his interpretations, in fact, including on issues such as capital punishment. And I'm
00:47:20.900
perfectly entitled to do that. And I don't have to, that's just because he offers some opinion
00:47:26.940
doesn't mean that it's infallible and we all have to follow it. This particular change though,
00:47:32.200
so they changed, um, lead us not into temptation. And now it's going to be, do not let us fall into
00:47:37.980
temptation. The idea behind the change is that God would not lead anyone into temptation. Um,
00:47:44.100
God is not the tempter. Satan is. God doesn't try to get us to sin. So to pray that he doesn't
00:47:50.640
do that makes no sense because he wouldn't do that anyway. Um, instead it should be something like,
00:47:56.260
you know, prevent us from succumbing to sin, which is, which is what that means. Um, I'm okay with
00:48:02.820
the change. Honestly, I, I'm not, there are plenty of things this Pope does. And when I first heard
00:48:06.980
this and I read the headline months ago, I had the reaction that everyone else had, which is, oh,
00:48:11.860
what's that, what's that old rascal up to again? Um, but then when I actually read what the change is,
00:48:18.100
I'm fine with it because people are saying, like, I guess you did just there that he's changing God's
00:48:25.660
word or changing Jesus's word. He's not, he's changing the English translation to better reflect
00:48:34.800
the original meaning of Jesus. People forget that we speak a different language from what Jesus spoke.
00:48:40.760
So none of our, if you read in English, then you are not reading the literal words of Jesus anyway.
00:48:50.000
You're reading a translation. And every translation is in a sense, an interpretation.
00:48:58.200
Any translation, it's whether it's a translation of the Bible or of crime and punishment, whatever it
00:49:02.880
is, uh, you're, you are part of translating is interpreting because it can't just be a one-to-one
00:49:10.720
like, um, literally just taking that word and putting it on the paper in, in, in sequential
00:49:16.780
order, because then it's not going to make any sense. So you have to rearrange the words a little
00:49:21.500
bit. You have to use sometimes different words to bring out the meaning of the original in English
00:49:26.880
in a way that's going to make sense to us. Um, I mean, the King James Bible, all of the formal
00:49:33.260
floweries, that's not in the original. That's not, that's not how these, that's not how these people
00:49:37.140
spoke. Um, that's an interpretation trying to bring out the deeper sort of meaning of the original. So
00:49:44.660
I think that, um, that's what this is. It's just, it's not changing. It's just the argument. Maybe
00:49:51.220
you disagree, but just to be clear, the argument here is no, we're not changing what Jesus, we're
00:49:55.420
not saying Jesus misspoke. We're saying that our English translation for these many years has been
00:50:00.620
wrong and has not totally captured what Jesus was actually trying to say because he wasn't saying
00:50:06.740
that God would ever lead us into temptation. That's not the point. Um, so that's the argument.
00:50:13.240
So, so again, if you disagree with it, then it's just, it's a disagreement of, oh no, I think that
00:50:18.580
the translation was accurate before. It's not an argument of, should we change Jesus's words or not?
00:50:24.040
Because no one is saying that we should in this case. All right. Um, that's it. I think we'll
00:50:30.140
leave it there. Uh, have a great weekend, everybody. God.
00:50:47.340
Today on the Ben Shapiro show, we recap night two of the democratic debates, all the excitement,
00:50:52.520
all the splendor, all the misery that's today on the Ben Shapiro show.
