Matt Walsh: You Can Beat Leftists By Making Them ‘State Their Premise,’ Which They Won’t Do Because It’s ‘Evil’

Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh In an interview on Thursday night, he described his strategy for winning arguments against the Left. He said that it all boils down to getting them outlining their positions.

Walsh’s appearance on Fox News with host Tucker Carlson comes after he testified before a Tennessee House committee this week where the he sparred Democrat legislators voted in favor of a bill banning sex-change on minors.

“So, their really failed and embarrassing attempts to discredit me were not only humiliating for them, but also totally irrelevant, because even if you can prove that I’m a terrible guy, does that automatically make it okay to mutilate children then?” Walsh spoke. “Because that’s what we’re supposed to be talking about.”

“But they don’t want to talk about that because they know they can’t defend their position,” He stated. “This is the position that Democrats and the Left are constantly in on many issues, in particular on this one, where their position is something that is so unspeakably evil that they can’t speak it.”

“So, you can defeat them in an argument simply by trying to get them to state their premise,” He went on. “They can’t even state their premise. I mean, [Tennessee state Rep.] Caleb Hemmer [D] does believe that 16-year-olds can consent to having body parts removed, but he can’t say that out loud because he knows how crazy it sounds. And so instead, he just falls silent.”

Carlson: We were shocked — and probably most people were shocked — to learn that Vanderbilt Medical Center, which is a very well respected Hospital in Tennessee is involved in the mutilation of children’s genitals for profit. They bristle about it on video. Matt Walsh, who discovered the evidence, is now the reason we know. So yesterday at a hearing in Tennessee at the Statehouse, Democrats were outraged — not by the general mutilation going on at Vanderbilt Medical Center, but they were mad at Matt Walsh. John Ray Clemens (Democrat) asked Walsh about his credentials. Here’s Walsh’s response.

Clemmons – Can you provide a summary of both your educational background and your experience in healthcare education?

Walsh: What’s my experience with healthcare?

Clemmons, What was your education background? I’m just curious, you testified as to a lot of your own research. So I’m curious for what purpose you do that, and what background you have that qualifies you to speak to that?

Walsh: Well, my background that qualifies me to speak to this is that I’m a human being with the brain, and common sense, and I have a soul. And so therefore, I think it’s a really bad idea to chemically castrate children. This is what I have found. Also, I did — now it’s true, I didn’t, I didn’t go to college, but I did go to school long enough to learn how to read. I am able to read the data myself. And that’s exactly what I’ve done.

Clemmons, What purpose do you conduct research and what brain function does it serve?

Walsh: I use it to protect children from being castrated, mutilated and so on. That’s one of the things I try to do.

Carlson: John Ray Clemens is a soulless freak who can listen to all this and then take the side for the children’s castrators. It’s just beyond — but Matt Walsh is the villain.

Walsh was also heard leaving another Tennessee lawmaker Caleb Hemmer speechless at another hearing.

Hemmer: Just curious of your definition of if you feel like people are adults at 16, should —

Walsh: Adults are 18 at the earliest. But actually, your brain is not fully developed until you’re 25. We should have a discussion about whether or not we should perform surgery on people as young as 18. But certainly before 18, it’s absurd. You mean, 16-year olds cannot consent to have their body parts taken out? Do you? No?

Carlson: Caleb Hemmer was another ghost defending the indefensible. He didn’t have an answer. God bless Matt Walsh for this. He’s the host of “The Matt Walsh Show,” joins us now. Matt, thank you. It’s so satisfying to watch — boy, you expose these people as truly filthy people.

Walsh: Yeah, I think, well, I mean, they expose themselves, I think, I think most of all, and the interesting thing, too, is that I’m sitting there in the hearing, I was giving my view on this bill — I’m in favor of the bill to ban the mutilation of children. I’m giving my view as a taxpayer and a private citizen, not an author of the bill. So, their really failed and embarrassing attempts to discredit me were not only humiliating for them, but also totally irrelevant, because even if you can prove that I’m a terrible guy, does that automatically
