The Matt Walsh Show

A young child began taking ADHD medicine that could cause suicidal thoughts. Weeks later she killed herself. The suicide rate among children has skyrocketed as the prevalence of psychotropic drugs has also skyrocketed. Is there some kind of connection here? Yes. And the drug companies know it. Today we'll talk about the practice of drugging kids, and the horrible things that can happen as a result. Date: 11-19-2018 Learn more about your ad choices.

Recently, Ken Ham responded to my podcast where I explained why I do not hold to a Young Earth Creationist view. His response was misleading and obscurant.

During the shooting in California, men shielded women from bullets and carried them to safety. This is true masculinity. Also, on the way other end of the spectrum, a "transgender" man in Canada is suing women for refusing to touch his genitals. Yes, really. Date: 11-09-2018 Learn more about your ad choices.

Should the media stop naming mass killers? Also, left-wing thugs descend on Tucker Carlson's house. Why don't police treat them like the terrorists they are? Finally, I wrote an innocuous tweet and someone said my house should burn down because of it. What does that say about the state of discourse in America?

There is a caravan of 7,000 migrants headed for the United States. Today we'll tackle two questions related to this issue: 1) As many of these migrants appear to be grown men, wouldn't it be better if they stayed home and helped to rebuild their own countries? 2) The Left claims that Christians are required to support open borders. Is that true? (Hint: no, it's not). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

You cannot logically oppose the killing of born infants if you do not oppose the killing of unborn infants. As a society, we have to decide where we stand on murder.

The Gosnell movie was dropped from a third of its theaters in its second week, despite a very strong box office performance. The media and the Left have been stonewalling this film from the beginning, and they haven't let up. But why are they so terrified of the Gosnell story? Why have they ignored it? I think the reason is pretty clear. We'll talk about it now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Atheists like to say that the Christianity is irrational and grounded purely in blind, unthinking, uncritical faith. This couldn't be further from the truth. Christianity is completely rational, completely logical, and grounded in a real historical event. The evidence for that event is overwhelming. Let's look at the evidence now.

Young Earth Creationism -- the belief that the universe was made in six 24 hour days less than 10,000 years ago -- is quite common among Christians in America. I think it's wrong and comes from a misreading of the Biblical text and a misunderstanding of science. I also think Young Earth Creationism is an unnecessary stumbling block which prevents non-believers from taking Christianity seriously. I'll explain why. Learn more about your ad choices.

A male cyclist competed in a women’s cycling event and won. The left says this is a great victory for trans rights. But yet again, victories for trans rights must come at the expense of women’s rights. And speaking of rights, a great victory for religious liberty happened this week.

Why are Trump's enemies always doing stupid and self-destructive things? And why are white Americans always so desperate to prove that they have non-white or non-American heritage? What's wrong with just being a white American? Also, we'll talk about Pastor Andrew Brunson, who was released from a Turkish prison last week after spending two years behind bars for "Christianization." Why is the persecution and genocide of Christians across the globe ignored by people in this country? Learn more about your ad choices.

According to a viral feminist propaganda song, women cannot open their windows or walk out their doors without worrying about being assaulted by evil men.

There are many reasons to now suspect that the accusations against Kavanaugh were part of a coordinated smear campaign. If that's the case, everyone involved in the effort must go to prison.

The Democrats were heading into the midterms in a pretty good position. But they've overplayed their hand with Kavanaugh.

How did Christine Ford get home from the party after her alleged assault? Why hasn't that person come forward to testify to her demeanor and appearance mere moments after she was supposedly attacked? For that matter, why hasn't anyone in her life -- parent, family member, friend -- come forward to vouch for her emotional state in the weeks, months, and years after the supposed attack, when she claims she was traumatized and failing school because of it?

Democrats don't care about the truth. That's not why they insisted on this FBI investigation. This is about digging up more dirt on Kavanaugh, even if it has nothing to do with sexual assault.

The most insane narrative to come out of the Kavanaugh hearings is that Kavanaugh is an unfit judge because he was angry. Well, let's think about this.

Do you know what Democrats would do if the shoe was on the other foot? They would just hold the vote and confirm their guy. There would be no investigation, no hearing, nothing. They'd flip us the bird and do what they want. And that is exactly what Republicans should do. Republicans need to stop being cowards and confirm Kavanaugh. Learn more about your ad choices.

Christine Ford, Kavanaugh's accuser, has presented a list of demands. The demands are silly and manipulative. And they raise a question: Is Christine Ford acting like a traumatized woman seeking justice, or is she acting like a political agent seeking to prevent a conservative from being appointed to the Supreme Court? I think the answer to that question is clear. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's time for the #MeToo Movement to end. Sexual assault allegations need to be judged on a case by case basis, not as part of some overall movement.

At the very last minute, Democrats have conjured up sexual assault allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. There are several very good reasons to doubt the story. I will outline those reasons. Also, we have to tackle another question: even if Kavanaugh is guilty, should he necessarily lose the Supreme Court position because of a bad thing he did as a kid three decades ago?

Abstinence before marriage is not just a religious idea. It is a strategy that could solve or greatly reduce many of our most serious societal problems. Advocating “safe sex” has not solved anything.

Norm MacDonald is the latest public figure to feel the wrath of the outrage mob for making a perfectly valid point about a contentious issue. This is how things go in America now. Nobody is allowed to think for themselves or introduce a divergent opinion into the mix. Nuance and subtlety are rejected. People just want to hear their own shallow thoughts repeated back to them. Fruitful debate will be impossible in this country until we learn how to engage ideas that differ from our own. Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been several stories in the news recently about men who were falsely accused of rape. Some of them went to prison. All of them had their lives and reputations ruined.

Serena Williams had a hysterical temper tantrum and then claimed that she was "fighting for women's rights." The idea of "rights" -- especially women's rights -- has been so degraded in our society that now a wealthy athlete can pretend she's fighting for rights as she smashes her tennis racket and screams at an umpire. Let's talk about what "rights" really are, and why we need to stop cheapening them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

These days we are told that monogamy is "unnatural" or "unrealistic." As the argument goes, being faithful in a marriage can be hard which means it is impossible and against our very nature. This is the logic of a weak, cowardly age. Monogamy is, in fact, far more "natural" for humans than the other option. And it's perfectly feasible and even pretty easy if you are willing to exercise a little bit of self-restraint and selflessness. Learn more about your ad choices.

The hype around Colin Kaepernick is overblown on both sides. The Right has turned him into some kind of historic villain, and the Left has turned him into a martyr who "sacrificed everything." Both of these characterizations are ridiculous, but the latter is most ridiculous. Kaepernick did not sacrifice everything. In fact, he sacrificed nothing. On the contrary, his political crusade has profited him tremendously. And that's simply not how sacrifice works. Learn more about your ad choices.

Yesterday we talked about why there can be no objective morality without God. The only logical position for an atheist to hold is moral relativism. Now today I want to discuss why moral relativism -- which is a position many atheists and secular people do openly hold -- is nonsensical and false. We do not get to invent our own moral systems. There is only one true moral system, and it is a system that everyone, everywhere, knows and recognizes. Learn more about your ad choices.
