Summary
Matt Walsh's new film "Am I A Racist" has sparked a controversy about if and when it is ok to deceive. Mainstream media outlets continue to use a tragic death in Georgia to claim pro-life laws are causing women to die. John and Maria discuss why this story is actually about the harms of chemical abortion. And the Emmys send us back to the 90's and a debate between a sitting Vice President and tv actress.

| 0:07.0 | Today we're going to talk about Matt Walsh's new film and whether it's ever okay to use some light deception in pursuit of a journalistic endeavor, |
| 0:14.8 | we're also going to talk about a really sad story out of Georgia where yet |
