Q&A

  • How did the moderators in the presidential and vice presidential debates exhibit bias?

    The moderators repeatedly interjected to fact-check candidates, often favoring Democrats and preventing candidates from responding to their claims. They also used a format that allowed them to quickly change the subject after making a fact-check.

  • What evidence was presented to debunk the moderator's claim that it is illegal to kill a baby after birth in the United States?

    The episode cited a report by John Solomon at Just the News, which revealed that infants born alive during failed abortions in Minnesota were denied life-saving care and allowed to die. This contradicts the moderator's claim and highlights a disturbing trend of infanticide.

  • What is the significance of Kamala Harris's support for the dock workers union strike?

    The episode suggests that Harris's support for the strike could be a political strategy to gain favor with unions and present herself as a dealmaker, potentially undercutting Trump's appeal to working-class voters.

  • How does the episode respond to Melania Trump's pro-abortion stance?

    The episode argues that Melania's claim that abortion is a woman's right to control her own body is flawed because it ignores the separate existence and humanity of the unborn child. The episode emphasizes the responsibility of parents to their children, both in the womb and after birth.

  • What is the episode's main criticism of Jesse Smollett's recent interview?

    The episode criticizes Smollett's continued insistence on his innocence regarding the staged hate crime hoax, highlighting the media's complicity in perpetuating his victimhood narrative. The episode argues that Smollett's identity is now inextricably tied to victimhood, preventing him from taking responsibility for his actions.

Show Notes

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has done a lot of "fact-checking" during this election, and especially during the debates. Unfortunately, every single fact check has been wrong. Also, Kamala Harris takes the side of the dockworker union that's threatening to cripple the economy. A lib journalist gets horribly offended when a flight attendant tells her to have a blessed day. And Jussie Smollett emerges from hiding to explain to the world why he's still a victim.
