What are the recent protests involving leftist agitators and Don Lemon?

Matt Walsh 0:00
Today on the Matt Wall Show, leftist agitators are now storming churches to protest ICE, and failed CNN anchor Don Lemon has joined them. They're also violating the same federal law that was used by Biden to throw pro-lifers in prison, which should now be used against them. We'll talk about it. Plus, one of the most viral ex-posts of all time promises to help you fix your life in one day. Is this truly the key to a lifetime of success and happiness, or is it just more self-help bullcrap? We'll find out. All that, more today on the Matt Wall Show.

How is the FACE Act being applied in current protests?

Matt Walsh 0:52
During the Biden administration, we all became very familiar with the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, otherwise known as the FACE Act. This was the Clinton era law that had been mostly dormant for the past two decades. Then Merrick Garland took over the OJ and the FACE Act was used to prosecute dozens of Christians who demonstrated in front of abortion clinics. And in some cases, as you remember, as we talked about it on the show, pro-life demonstrators woke up to SWAT teams outside their homes. Meanwhile, the DOJ ignored the violent attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers. And this was just a ruthless series of prosecutions that targeted Christians, including elderly women in their 80s, and threatened them with 10 years in federal prison or more.

But there's another element of the FACE Act that never gets mentioned. Because as it turns out, strangely enough, the FACE Act doesn't only protect abortion clinics. The law also makes it a federal crime to obstruct or interfere with anyone, quote, lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship. So, yes, the same law that bans protests at abortion clinics also bans blockades of churches. which seems a little strange. What are the two things have to do with one another? But then another way to think of the FACE Act is that, well, it protects leftists at their temples where they conduct human sacrifice and where they conduct their own kind of religious cult ceremonies.

And then it protects the actual religious ceremonies of Christians, supposedly. Because by the same token, with the same legal force, it's supposed to protect Christians when they go to their actual places of worship, their actual churches. That's supposedly what it's meant to do. Now, that means that if we're still pretending that the rule of law means anything, well, FBI SWAT teams need to immediately conduct pre-dawn raids on the homes of everybody involved in the act of domestic terrorism that took place on Sunday at a Baptist church called City's Church in St. Paul near Minneapolis. This was an attack that was infinitely worse, of course, than any peaceful pro-life demonstration at any abortion clinic has ever been.

It's an effort by anti-American communists not simply to interfere with Americans' First Amendment rights, but also to wage war on Christianity and religion in general, which is always everywhere the primary nemesis of communists. Marxists want you loyal to the state, not to God. The pro-lifers at the abortion clinics, on the other hand, they weren't seeking to dismantle Western civilization or prevent society from functioning. They were trying to save babies. On the other hand, this is what the left is doing, trying to dismantle Western civilization and what it's founded on, which is the Christian religion. Acting on the assumption that the pastor of the church worked with ICE, Leftist rioters stormed into the church as people sat in the pews and began screaming and intimidating everybody inside.

So they went inside the building during the church service.

Watch.

So, and by the way, even without the FACE Act, this, what you just saw there, would still violate like 12 different laws. You cannot barge inside of a building and do a protest. There are valid places where you can conduct protests, not inside a building, where people are trying to do something else, and in this case, trying to worship. But before we get back to the law here, the many laws that were violated, you heard them there shouting, hands up, don't shoot.
