00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the baby killers are in a state of full-on panic as the Supreme
00:00:04.100 Court reportedly prepares to overturn Roe, abolishing the constitutional right to abortion,
00:00:08.280 which was always fictional and never really existed anyway. I have a lot to say about this,
00:00:12.400 as you can imagine. Also, an MSABC analyst warns that Nazis will take over because Elon Musk owns
00:00:17.520 Twitter. Jen Psaki makes the lamest attempt yet to justify the Biden administration's
00:00:21.360 new ministry of truth. The ruling class once again celebrates itself at the Met Gala,
00:00:25.500 and in our daily cancellation, we'll discuss the story of a woman who left her husband after she
00:00:29.660 met her true, quote, soulmate. Not a great decision, as it turns out. We'll talk about
00:00:33.660 all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show. You know, interest rates are continuing to
00:00:46.440 fluctuate. They're very volatile. I really can't stress this enough. It's important to get ahead
00:00:50.360 of them and look into a mortgage refinance while you can, or better yet, you should pay off high
00:00:54.680 interest debt while you still can. I mean it. You still have time to save up to $1,000 a month.
00:00:59.280 You just have to call American Financing, America's home loan for, home for home loans,
00:01:03.540 I should say, or you'll get a free mortgage review from a salary-based consultant. There's
00:01:06.780 no pressure, there's no obligation, no upfront or hidden fees. Just a simple conversation around
00:01:10.300 custom loans that may fit your budget better, from flexible terms to accessing cash and even
00:01:15.280 debt consolidation. It really could mean up to $1,000 in monthly savings, plus tens of thousands
00:01:20.100 long-term. And if you start soon, you could close in as fast as 10 days. So this means that
00:01:25.280 it's a quick close. It's very easy. You're saving money. And that's something we could
00:01:29.200 all use more of, I think, these days. So it's really as simple as that. And if you want to
00:01:33.920 go to American Financing, all you have to do is call 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711.
00:01:40.920 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
00:01:47.760 Roe v. Wade is not yet officially overturned, but it would appear that it's on its last legs.
00:01:52.680 After killing so many innocent lives, Roe itself is now a dead man walking, condemned,
00:01:57.960 in its case, justly. The earth-shattering news came last night in a leaked draft of the 5-4
00:02:03.200 majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito. Roe is totally eviscerated and repudiated.
00:02:08.240 The subsequent 1992 decision, Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which rests on the foundation of Roe,
00:02:14.120 would also be overturned. Now, the Politico report, which first published the leaked draft,
00:02:19.120 calls it a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the very idea that the Constitution guarantees
00:02:24.520 abortion rights, which is exactly what it is. Alito writes that, quote,
00:02:28.840 it's time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected
00:02:32.800 representatives. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each state from regulating
00:02:36.920 a prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule this decision
00:02:42.340 and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives. The full text of the
00:02:47.540 opinion, which runs some 98 pages, is available to be read, and it should be read, because it's
00:02:52.640 almost certainly authentic, and it totally rips to shreds the legal justifications and arguments for
00:02:57.580 Roe, such as they are. Though, really, it doesn't take 98 pages to accomplish that task.
00:03:02.700 You only need a bowed paragraph, because there is no legal reasoning behind Roe. All you have to do
00:03:08.280 is dig one inch below the surface, and you'll find that the entire precipice of abortion rights,
00:03:12.740 quote-unquote, is grounded in nothing. It has no roots. It would be a compliment to call it flimsy.
00:03:19.060 At least flimsy things exist, but the constitutional right to abortion does not exist. The activist
00:03:25.100 judges who invented the right attached it to the constitutional right to privacy, which also
00:03:30.560 does not exist in the Constitution. There are, then, at least two degrees of separation between
00:03:35.360 abortion rights and the actual text of the Constitution. That's how utterly baseless
00:03:41.180 the decision was, and it's why it deserves to be overturned. It is the worst Supreme Court decision
00:03:47.180 in history. There are others that come close. This is the worst. But Roe is not yet overturned. Not yet,
00:03:55.360 anyway. That won't happen until the decision is officially announced. And that brings us to the other
00:03:59.560 major aspect of this story, the fact that it was leaked in the first place. The whole point of
00:04:04.400 leaking it, which is an unprecedented move, nothing like this has ever happened before in American
00:04:08.780 history. The whole point, of course, is to pressure one of the justices in the majority to switch sides.
00:04:13.680 The other reason behind the leak is to push Democrats in Congress to pass a bill heading the
00:04:18.060 Supreme Court off at the pass and codifying abortion rights into law nationwide. Within minutes of the
00:04:22.820 Politico piece being published, the Democrat Party had its messaging out, and it was calling for exactly
00:04:27.460 that. Just a few examples. Bernie Sanders tweeted,
00:04:30.760 Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country now.
00:04:35.800 And if there aren't 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster
00:04:40.040 to pass it with 50 votes. Elizabeth Warren said,
00:04:43.300 An extremist Supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and impose its far-right unpopular views on
00:04:48.660 the entire country. It's time for the millions who support the Constitution and abortion rights to stand up
00:04:53.580 and make their voices heard. We're not going back. Not ever. Ayanna Pressley said,
00:04:59.320 abortion care is a fundamental human right, and we must legislate like it. AOC said,
00:05:06.000 people elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like this,
00:05:10.620 to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, and have a president who uses his legal authority to break
00:05:15.540 through congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate. It's high time we do it.
00:05:19.980 And then Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer issued a joint statement calling the reported decision
00:05:24.680 an abomination and one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.
00:05:30.340 Meanwhile, the fundraising emails have already gone out. So the Democrats were ready for this,
00:05:35.540 which makes it look all the more like the leak was coordinated at the highest levels of the party.
00:05:40.300 All the evidence is pointing in that direction. And that brings us to, I think, a few points that
00:05:44.660 need to be made here. First, leaking the full draft of a Supreme Court decision in order to intimidate
00:05:54.260 justices into switching sides, potentially putting their lives in jeopardy in the process,
00:05:58.780 and that's part of the point of leaking it, and also to galvanize political support for your own side.
00:06:04.500 All of that is much more of an assault on our institutions and our democracy than anything
00:06:09.860 that happened on January 6th. May 2nd, okay, is the day the draft was published. That's yesterday.
00:06:15.820 That should be the date that lives in infamy. That's what we should be talking about. May 2nd.
00:06:19.940 Where were you on May 2nd? Because that's an actual insurrection. In effect, it's an attempt
00:06:26.680 to completely upend and delegitimize the rule of law, incite violence and chaos,
00:06:32.080 and potentially plunge the nation into civil war. That's the whole intention behind it.
00:06:37.740 January 6th was a stroll in the park compared to this. It's not even close. Leftists are cheering
00:06:45.680 whoever leaked this and will make that person into a hero whenever their identity is unveiled
00:06:49.600 because when it comes down to it, of course, they couldn't care less about saving democracy
00:06:55.120 or protecting our institutions. They'll tear the whole thing down if it benefits them.
00:07:00.280 They won't even hesitate. Second point, speaking of democracy, if Roe is overturned,
00:07:06.500 it will not have the effect of abolishing abortion nationwide. You know, the left likes to cite,
00:07:13.420 and they're doing this a lot this morning, talking about the polling data from Gallup and other
00:07:18.480 places, which shows allegedly that 70% of Americans oppose overturning Roe.
00:07:25.660 But that's only because most Americans don't understand what Roe is and what overturning it
00:07:31.180 actually means. And that's because they're being lied to on this point. All that will happen now
00:07:37.100 is the decision reverts back to the states, which means that most of the leftists hysterically
00:07:43.320 hyperventilating right now actually won't be affected at all by this. Their states will still
00:07:48.720 have abortion. In fact, a lot of these states, like in California and New York and others,
00:07:53.960 they'll probably have more abortions now. They're going to change the law to make it even more
00:07:59.560 accepting of abortion. If it's possible to make, you know, in a lot of these cases,
00:08:04.120 they already have abortion up till birth. So how could you make the law more radical? Well,
00:08:08.420 they're going to try. Post-birth abortions on the horizon? Potentially.
00:08:15.000 But just think about this. The people who claim to cherish democracy are now panicking
00:08:19.420 because voters will get to decide on abortion. They cherish democracy and they're panicked because
00:08:29.520 voters are going to decide on abortion. Allowing voters to decide the issue is now itself an attack
00:08:34.780 on democracy, according to the democracy advocates in the Democrat Party. Now, I should say that in my
00:08:41.540 case, I don't claim that democracy is my highest value or priority. That's what they say. I think
00:08:51.680 there are things higher and more important than that, which is why overturning Roe is a great and
00:08:56.460 necessary first step and something to certainly celebrate. But it's only a first step as far as
00:09:04.720 I'm concerned. The next step is to abolish abortion and criminalize it nationwide. The next step is to
00:09:09.600 essentially do what idiot leftists think is already happening. They think that overturning Roe v. Wade
00:09:15.580 means that abortion is abolished nationwide. That's not what it means. But that's what they're worried
00:09:21.420 about. And that's actually what we should try to do. As always with the left, I take a, you know,
00:09:28.620 I'll give you something to cry about approach with the left. You're going to cry about it, then,
00:09:33.020 you know, I'll give you something to cry about. Let's go ahead and criminalize it nationwide.
00:09:36.740 And that is the next fight. And Republicans have to lean into it because the die is cast.
00:09:44.400 The greatest cultural battle of our lives doesn't end now. It begins. Democrats are going to do
00:09:51.740 everything in their power and everything not in their power to usurp the Supreme Court decision and
00:09:58.140 ensure that babies continue to die at the same rate or at a higher rate than before. Republicans must
00:10:04.200 respond not by declaring victory and then just washing their hands of the issue, not by hiding
00:10:09.740 from it, but by pushing back in the other direction. They, the Democrats, want to codify abortion
00:10:16.380 nationwide. We have to push to criminalize it. There's no escaping the fight now. You're either with
00:10:24.120 us or against us on this. And that goes for every elected Republican. Third point, bringing this all
00:10:31.060 together. As I have warned for years, the left in America is nothing less and nothing more than a
00:10:38.400 death cult. They fear death, certainly, fear it for themselves anyway, as evidenced by their hysteria
00:10:43.920 over COVID. But paradoxically, they worship destruction. They hate what is good and beautiful.
00:10:51.060 They hate innocence, most especially. They wish to destroy it all. That's why they spend so much of
00:10:56.400 their demonic energy preying upon children. They consider it their right to corrupt, abuse, mutilate,
00:11:03.140 drug, castrate, and sexualize children outside of the womb. Inside the womb, they believe it's their
00:11:08.800 sacred right to butcher and dismember the most precious and vulnerable of God's creation.
00:11:14.100 They believe that this is literally sacred. As the Democrat lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania put it
00:11:19.780 last night, he tweeted, let's be clear. The right to an abortion is sacred. Democrats have to act
00:11:26.580 quickly, get rid of the filibuster to pass the Women's Health Protection Act, and finally codify Roe
00:11:30.960 into law. We cannot afford to wait. Sacred, he says. And he means it. They all mean it.
00:11:39.960 Why is abortion sacred to them? Why is it their highest sacrament? Why does it attract the most
00:11:44.740 religious zeal from the death worshipers? Because abortion is the ultimate middle finger to objective
00:11:52.520 morality, to truth, to nature, to the family, to God, to everything they despise. Through abortion,
00:12:03.920 a woman declares that she lives for herself and for herself alone. She sacrifices her child,
00:12:09.860 her family, her femininity, everything on the altar of her own ego, the altar of the self.
00:12:17.200 She fully initiates herself into the cult of self-worship. Abortion is, in many ways, like
00:12:22.940 Satan's parody of baptism. The woman baptizes herself in the blood of her own child and becomes a fully
00:12:29.760 liberated, fully realized, independent person. I mean, that's the dogma anyway. That's the faith-based
00:12:35.060 claim. Of course, in reality, through abortion, the woman destroys herself, consigns herself to despair
00:12:41.640 and loneliness and grief. But they don't tell her that. They make very different promises.
00:12:49.760 And they cannot let abortion go without surrendering their entire worldview. Abortion is
00:12:55.100 the foundation of everything they've built. Or I should say, it's the foundation of everything
00:13:02.260 they've torn down. Because they don't build. They just tear things down. It lies at the center of
00:13:08.100 everything for them. And so they'll fight like rabid dogs to protect it. They will do anything. I mean,
00:13:14.780 literally anything. Lie, cheat, steal, kill. Anything. So be it. This is a fight worth having,
00:13:24.900 no matter the cost. And I'm telling you right now, it's about to get very, very ugly. So buckle up.
00:13:32.260 And get ready. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:13:41.140 Well, it's finally happened. The Fed is realizing the dire straits our economy is in thanks to our
00:13:46.540 loose monetary policy. Apparently, you can't just spend trillions every year with no repercussions.
00:13:51.300 Turns out. I mean, who would have thought? Aside from any rational person. Now to play catch up,
00:13:56.460 the Fed has been raising rates and plans to plans to raise them seven times this year alone. You're
00:14:01.820 already starting to see those ripple effects in the housing market as people's buying power
00:14:05.760 diminishes. Consider what could happen in the stock market if our economy stalls out. Don't wait till
00:14:11.040 that happens. Take some of your profits from the stock market now and solidify them with gold from
00:14:15.880 Birch Gold. Throughout history, gold has maintained its value better than any other investment in the
00:14:20.300 world. Text Walsh to 989898 for a free zero-obligation info kit on holding gold in a tax-sheltered

00:14:35.260 Birch Gold. You should too. Text Walsh to 989898 and secure the gains you've made while you can.
00:14:42.360 You know, on a lighter note, before I get back into the heavy stuff, I forgot to, yesterday,
00:14:45.680 I forgot to give a shout-out to the Sweet Baby Gang member who represented the gang at my kid's
00:14:51.580 first communion on Saturday. And it was after Mass, for the record, but somebody shouted Sweet Baby
00:14:59.460 Gang, you know, as we were walking to, like, the reception. And I appreciated that. There's never
00:15:06.360 an inappropriate time to rep the gang. Now, my wife, I should tell you, doesn't really agree with me on
00:15:13.200 this point, but I think there's never an inappropriate time. I mean, if you see me graveside
00:15:18.040 at a funeral ceremony, there would be nothing wrong with shouting Sweet Baby Gang. If I'm in the
00:15:24.740 hospital dying of some horrific illness and you happen to be walking by in the hallway and you see
00:15:29.660 me in there, nothing wrong with poking your head in and saying Sweet Baby Gang. In fact, I would really
00:15:34.060 appreciate it. That's the last thing I heard before I died. So, another shout-out to the member of the
00:15:41.540 Sweet Baby, the loyal member of the Sweet Baby Gang at the first communion. Okay, more on the top
00:15:46.380 story of the day and of the century, really. First of all, I got to play this because Libs of TikTok
00:15:50.540 is, as always, Johnny on the spot with the compilation of leftists melting down over the
00:15:58.800 draft decision and the possibility that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. And there's going to be a lot
00:16:03.740 more where this came from. But here's just the first round, and it's quite enjoyable, so let's watch.
00:16:11.540 This abortion law goes beyond a woman's issue, and it goes beyond anything you can ever imagine. The
00:16:26.780 societal implications of this are going to be insane. The amount of, uh, just pain and damage
00:16:33.500 this is going to cause, and the full ability to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her body,
00:16:38.360 and we're going back into a handmaid's tale society here. All of you women
00:16:42.920 who sat home, all of you young girls, adults over 18 years old who did not go out and vote,
00:16:55.400 who did not think that you need to protect your womb,
00:16:59.760 We're now back in the dark ages. Brace yourselves, ladies. I'm with you. My heart is just broken. I don't
00:17:13.520 understand why this country hates women so much. I just don't understand it.
00:17:18.800 We'll get through this. We'll figure out a way.
00:17:28.960 No more joking about
00:17:30.240 it being
00:17:33.740 a handmaid's tale. It will be.
00:17:36.480 You know, a couple of things there. Um, first of all, there really is something, I think,
00:17:47.240 and you can't judge a book by its cover all, all the time, but I think there is something
00:17:52.720 about the ugliness of leftism that seems to manifest itself in a physical way as well.
00:18:02.280 You know, if you buy into the, the leftist death cult, you become a very ugly person on the inside.
00:18:11.100 And, and it's just interesting that so often that tends to reflect, um, on the outside as well,
00:18:18.000 which, which you see so often. And we saw, we saw there. Um, and of course, a couple other takeaways
00:18:24.760 is that these people have only read one book, Handmaid's Tale, which I'm not even sure that they've
00:18:29.660 read that book. They've probably just seen the show and maybe they haven't even seen
00:18:32.260 the show. They're just aware of it. And so that's the only, it's, it used to be Harry Potter,
00:18:36.460 but we got to get rid of Harry Potter because, uh, JK Rowling is transphobic apparently.
00:18:40.940 And so now it's Handmaid's Tale. And speaking of transphobia, I have to say that I am
00:18:46.380 totally shocked and scandalized by the transphobia on display from the left since last night.
00:18:55.980 Do you notice how all, I mean, I don't know what happened, but, but, uh, all of a sudden,
00:18:59.800 at least for this news cycle, women are female again, because we keep hearing how this is an
00:19:05.000 attack on women. And it's like, these people don't realize that, uh, men can get pregnant,
00:19:10.940 or at least I thought they could. That's why, isn't that what you've been telling us?
00:19:15.340 So you'll just see how, just for the news cycle, just for this issue, not even just
00:19:19.580 the news cycle. But for this particular issue right now, um, women are defined biologically
00:19:27.200 because that's what they need right now. And then you move on to the next topic and they don't need
00:19:33.440 that anymore. So they'll throw that to the side. This is the, this is the, um, advantage of being a
00:19:40.340 relativist though, that you can invent whatever truth you need, whatever truth you want in whatever
00:19:46.940 situation. And so for this, this is an attack on, on women's rights, even though, and the other thing
00:19:53.840 we keep hearing now is that, um, you know, this men, men are legislating women's bodies and putting
00:20:00.720 aside how, again, the fact that that statement contradicts everything they say about sex and
00:20:05.340 gender, but also actually it was seven white men, it was seven old white men who decided Roe.
00:20:12.260 And now it's looking like that decision is going to be overturned by a group that includes
00:20:17.440 a woman and a black man. So diversity is our strength. This is a win. This is a win for
00:20:24.640 diversity. In fact, it's one of the only wins for diversity that we've seen in quite some time.
00:20:29.160 Um, meanwhile, over on cable news, they've brought in Jeffrey Toobin, um, public masturbator to give
00:20:34.860 his thoughts on, um, on all of this because he's their legal analyst. And, uh, here's what he had to
00:20:41.100 say. You know, there is a lot of evidence. Uh, there are many societies, especially in central and
00:20:47.200 South America that ban abortion altogether. And the rate of abortion does not go down when,
00:20:55.540 when abortion is banned. There are just as many abortions, if not more in societies where abortion
00:21:02.440 is legal. What's different is that women die and women are horribly mutilated, uh, because abortion
00:21:10.340 is, is conducted in a, uh, unsafe way. But the idea of a legal ban on abortion, stopping abortion
00:21:20.120 is a myth. It does not happen. All it does is drive the process underground and date and endanger
00:21:27.620 women's lives. Now, Jeffrey Toobin is, you may think, uh, why they're bringing this guy on to talk
00:21:34.520 about this issue, but he is really invested in the abortion issue because he cheated on his wife
00:21:39.900 and, um, conceived a child with his mistress and then paid for his mistress to, uh, to have an
00:21:47.040 abortion, demanded that his mistress have an abortion. So he's very invested and he's an expert
00:21:52.280 in that way. You know, he, he has all, he has some lived experience with this issue and you're always
00:21:58.080 going to find that with the men who feel the strongest about keeping abortion legal. It's because
00:22:02.900 they've got very self-serving reasons for them. As I've tried to explain before, this is one thing
00:22:08.380 that women should understand. I think, uh, I think every pro-life woman does, but pro-abortion women
00:22:12.620 don't. And that is that the men who are your quote allies, it's only because they want to use you.
00:22:20.040 Well, there are two reasons. Uh, one is it's a virtue signal on their part. And, but, but I think at a
00:22:27.160 deeper level, it's because they want to use you like an object. They want to be able to use you
00:22:32.980 sexually and then just throw you aside and not have any consequences, not have any responsibilities
00:22:39.100 or obligations that come with it. That's what that's about. That's why they're your ally because
00:22:43.740 you are a sexual object. You are nothing but a glorified masturbatory aid to them. And, uh, that's
00:22:50.900 how they want to use you. And they are more than willing if it means that they can, uh, use you
00:22:57.220 for their own sexual gratification. Um, if that means that killing a child, they're perfectly fine
00:23:03.840 with that. So those are your allies, ladies. And you notice as to the substance of his argument,
00:23:12.380 such as it is, he says two things. We're going to hear a lot of this. We already have. Uh, one is
00:23:17.020 that if you get rid of abortion, which again, overturning Roe v. Wade does not get rid of
00:23:22.160 abortion. But if you do, then, um, it's going to make abortion unsafe for women. And also getting
00:23:30.340 rid of abortion will not drive the rate of abortion down. So we heard both of those things as for the
00:23:35.860 unsafe part of this. Well, first of all, there's no such thing as a safe abortion because in every
00:23:42.600 abortion, at least one person is killed, uh, unless the baby survives the abortion and then is killed
00:23:49.140 outside of the womb or left to die in the corner of a room somewhere as often happens, as has happened
00:23:54.460 in DC recently. Um, so that's, that's what abortion is. It is by its nature, inherently unsafe.
00:24:04.860 It's also unsafe for women inherently by its nature.
00:24:08.840 It is physical destruction. It is, uh, in a culture where we call everything violence,
00:24:16.460 abortion is violence and it's a violent act, a violent, lethal act being carried out within your
00:24:22.620 body. And that is by its nature, unsafe physically, nevermind psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually
00:24:31.180 where it's totally devastating. But as to the physical part of it,
00:24:38.840 um, is, is it true that, um, it's probably physically quote safer for a woman to get an
00:24:49.160 abortion at a clinic as opposed to in a back alley somewhere, even though the back alley hysteria,
00:24:55.300 back alley abortion hysteria is mostly mostly based based on myths and everything else. But is it,
00:25:00.180 is it true that it's most of the time going to be quote physically safer for the woman to get the
00:25:06.340 abortion in a, in a, in a clinic as opposed to the mythical back alley? Well, yeah, of course.
00:25:13.600 But
00:25:14.080 a, a, a sane and civilized and moral society, which is grounded in law should not provide
00:25:23.500 safe spaces to kill children.
00:25:26.280 So if going into a back alley to get an abortion means that it's, it turns into this dark and dirty
00:25:35.360 and disgusting thing. Well, yeah, because that's what it is.
00:25:42.040 And we shouldn't be doing anything to sanitize it or make it safer
00:25:45.720 any more than we should be providing an environment for mothers to bring their two-year-olds and have
00:25:54.180 them euthanized. As far as this claim that it, that outlawing abortion doesn't drive the rate
00:26:02.980 of abortion down, um, I would not take that claim on face value from Jeffrey Toobin in the first place,
00:26:08.980 but even just pretending that it's true, which it isn't, but pretending for a second for the sake
00:26:15.340 of argument, that it's true that you outlaw abortion and it doesn't drive the rate of abortion
00:26:18.980 down. Like, of course it does, but just again, for the sake of argument, let's pretend that that's
00:26:24.080 true. Well, it's basically irrelevant. I mean, murder in all forms, outside of the womb anyway,
00:26:36.920 murder in every other form is illegal and yet it still happens.
00:26:40.940 Like the fact that it's illegal to just walk up to somebody and shoot them in the head,
00:26:48.140 does that prevent people from doing it? Obviously not. Go to any major city in America and it happens
00:26:53.760 all the time. So the simple fact that murder is illegal doesn't stop anyone. In fact, nobody
00:27:00.820 is prevented from committing murder just because it's illegal.
00:27:05.340 The laws against, um, against murder have almost no direct preventative effect
00:27:15.420 because you could still just walk up to somebody and kill them if you want.
00:27:21.440 Same for the laws against rape, same for the laws against everything. You can still do it and all of
00:27:27.500 these things still happen. I mean, human beings have been raping and killing each other since the
00:27:32.160 dawn of human civilization, tragically. And that's always going to be the case. So does that mean
00:27:37.140 that you just get rid of the laws against murder and rape because it's going to happen anyway?
00:27:42.960 No, you still have the laws in place because number one, again, if you, if you want to be a
00:27:47.580 civilized, sane, just moral society, then you cannot tolerate and accept actions like that.
00:27:56.200 Crimes like that.
00:27:57.100 Also, you need to have something in place to punish people who commit these acts
00:28:02.640 and to segregate those who have shown a willingness to commit those acts from the rest of society to
00:28:09.340 keep everybody safe. And there is certainly, we have to assume some deterrent effect in having murder
00:28:18.680 illegal. So the argument just doesn't make any sense. Whether it drives the rate of abortion down
00:28:28.160 or not, the fact is you, it must be illegal because it's the murder of a child and that's it. That's
00:28:35.700 why it should be illegal. All right. You know, the other great thing about this decision, the draft
00:28:42.720 decision anyway, is that it completely ruined the night for all of the libs at the Met Gala last
00:28:48.140 night. The Met Gala was, was happening with the theme gilded glamour and they all showed up on the
00:28:54.860 red carpet. So I want to go through a little bit of a, you didn't expect you're going to get this
00:28:59.380 today, but we're going to do a little bit of a fashion review. Let's just go through some of the
00:29:02.240 looks. And first of all, Mayor Eric Adams was there and you know, he promised to put an end
00:29:08.760 to the violent crime epidemic in the city. Lots of people were wondering how he would do that.
00:29:15.120 And last night he finally unveiled his plan to get rid of gun violence. And there it is there.
00:29:21.160 He's wearing a suit that says end gun violence. And just like that, the violent crime epidemic
00:29:28.180 in New York city and indeed across the entire country was, was brought to an end because of
00:29:33.760 Eric Adams. So that I thought was, was pretty courageous. Lots of other courageous. Let's just go
00:29:37.800 through some of these. I don't even know what you're going to put up on the screen.
00:29:39.780 Okay. So we got this person here. I don't know who that person, I don't know who any of these people
00:29:42.540 are, but she's got that a little bit of, um, if you, I think it's a beautiful dress. If you want
00:29:49.160 to look like a diseased bird or maybe a pin cushion, it's a great look. Go to the next one.
00:29:54.960 What else do we have here? Another one. So it's more of the diseased bird look. Okay. Now this,
00:29:59.840 this, I like this right here because this is kind of that, um, if you're going for the Pepto-Bismol vibe,
00:30:06.620 and that vibe is really in right now. So I don't know who that is, but it's guy with the full pink
00:30:12.680 suit, pink shoes and everything. That's a great look. I'm actually liking all these. Okay. This
00:30:17.740 guy, that's just, if you want to look stupid, I guess you wear that. We can go to the next one.
00:30:20.960 Okay. This one right here. That's the one. This is like, if Edward Scissorhands had sex with a peacock
00:30:34.360 and then the kid grew up and became addicted to meth and was a sex offender, that's what it would
00:30:44.120 look like. All right. I think we saw enough there. And all of those people, oh, then there's that one
00:30:49.340 too there. That's kind of like if you, if you get a BDSM outfit at party city, that's what you would,
00:30:55.080 I think that's probably what that would look like. All those people, they got dressed up. They got the,
00:30:58.700 they spent thousands of dollars on their, on their nice outfits and they went into the gala,
00:31:02.700 the banquet. And it's right then that the news dropped that Roe v. Wade was, was, is going to be
00:31:09.720 overturned. And I just, I love every part of that. Um, even if the news never should have been leaked
00:31:15.200 in the first place. Okay. Let's move to this MSNBC, uh, the anchor over at MSNBC worries that
00:31:22.580 Nazis may be taking over because of Elon Musk taking control of Twitter. I'm not sure I exactly
00:31:29.220 see the connection, but let's listen to him make the case anyway. I mean, it's easy in American
00:31:34.180 discourse to talk simplistically about the far left and the far right as two equally dangerous fringe
00:31:40.100 blocks. Elon Musk has done it plenty of times just in the past week, but here's the difference.
00:31:45.180 America's far left wants to give us free healthcare and free childcare. America's far right wants to
00:31:49.840 give us white supremacy and no democracy. And this asymmetrical polarization of U S politics would
00:31:55.940 be laughable if it weren't so horrifying. We are living through an unspeakably dangerous moment.
00:32:01.820 The pro QAnon pro neo Nazi faction of the Republican body is poised to expand dramatically come the
00:32:08.200 midterms. We're just two years away from Donald Trump, very possibly re-seizing executive power.
00:32:14.400 If that happens, we may look back on this past week as a pivotal moment when a petulant and not
00:32:20.660 so bright billionaire casually bought one of the world's most influential messaging machines
00:32:25.220 and just handed it to the far right. Uh, not so bright billionaire says the talking head on MSNBC,
00:32:34.380 not so bright. I mean, the guy's is the richest man in the world and he builds rockets.
00:32:40.320 He's not, he just builds rockets and he's planning to go to Mars. Okay. Elon Musk is actually going to,
00:32:48.600 to, to, to land crafts on Mars, but he's not so bright. He's certainly not as bright as a bloviating
00:32:56.500 talking head on MSNBC. And, uh, this guy, whoever he is, he says that, uh, you know, the far left and the far
00:33:04.740 right can't be compared. They're not equally as dangerous. And he's right about that part, but he's wrong
00:33:10.520 about all the rest of it. All the far left wants to do is give you free healthcare. Yeah, that's all they want to
00:33:15.580 do. Uh, what he forgets to mention is that the free healthcare that the far left wants to give
00:33:20.820 includes, um, dismembering babies in the womb and chemically castrating 12 year old boys.
00:33:27.540 That's the healthcare they want. So he forgot to leave. He left that part out. He forgot about that
00:33:30.620 part. But otherwise, again, I totally agree with him that you can't compare the far right and the
00:33:36.500 far left. This is something that Elon Musk does, you know, because Elon Musk himself, despite how he is
00:33:44.780 portrayed, is not a member of the far right. I'm not sure you can really say he's a member of the
00:33:50.560 right at all. Uh, I don't know that he would identify himself as a conservative and I don't
00:33:55.860 think I would identify him that way, but he said many times recently that he considers the far right
00:34:01.920 and the far left to be a problem. And so he wants to handle Twitter in a way that, you know, if it,
00:34:07.520 if it upsets the most extreme 10% of, uh, on both ends of the spectrum, then that means you're doing
00:34:12.620 your job. Um, and in spite of saying that, of course, the, the left is still freaking out about
00:34:17.820 him because Musk is looking, is, is trying to find an avenue here of kind of neutrality
00:34:24.940 and the left does not want neutrality. They take it if you're with a, you know, with us or against
00:34:33.420 this approach and they take that approach with everything. And they take it with the issue of
00:34:41.100 free speech as well. But Musk is wrong about that when he, when he says, oh, they're, they're
00:34:47.080 equally as dangerous. Uh, no, they're not because on the far left, again, you know, that's where you
00:34:57.740 get the death cult. That's where you get people who, um, are right now panicking over the thought
00:35:04.700 that more babies will be born. That's what they're upset about.
00:35:12.400 All right. One of the clip I want to play for you. Jen Psaki yesterday at the white house press
00:35:16.080 conference was asked about the disinformation board, the ministry of truth. And here's her
00:35:20.700 explanation of it. The mandate is not to adjudicate what is true or false online or, or otherwise. Um,
00:35:27.880 it will operate in a non-partisan and apolitical manner. It's basically meant to coordinate a lot of
00:35:33.240 the ongoing work that is happening. And what their focus is, the focus is on disinformation
00:35:38.380 and threats to the homeland, as I noted, which things like inciting things that would incite
00:35:41.740 violent extremism, um, you know, human traffickers and other transnational criminal organizations,
00:35:46.720 uh, any efforts that pull out, uh, malign foreign influence, anything that would endanger
00:35:51.200 individuals during emergencies. So a lot of this work is really about work that people may not see
00:35:56.940 every day. That's ongoing by the department of Homeland security.
00:35:59.560 Mm-hmm. She says that it's nonpartisan, which is the same thing we heard from the DHS secretary
00:36:03.500 yesterday in his interview on CNN, where he said that, uh, the person who is helming is going to
00:36:09.520 be at the lead of the quote unquote disinformation board is totally neutral. But once again, that we,
00:36:14.380 we know that that is not true. There's no such thing as a neutral person, especially not on the
00:36:18.460 left, but really not anywhere in human society, not anywhere in the human race. Nobody is actually
00:36:22.900 neutral. Everybody has a worldview, a perspective, which is exactly why you cannot entrust human
00:36:28.280 beings in the government with something like this. And you certainly will claim that it's going to
00:36:33.760 be nonpartisan. There is no nonpartisan part of the government that may exist in theory. That may be
00:36:46.120 an ideal that you strive towards, but that doesn't actually exist. Everybody in government, all of them
00:36:53.140 have, um, political leanings, political, uh, loyalties, all of them do.
00:37:01.900 Which is why you cannot entrust them with something like this. Uh, one of the thing here is from the
00:37:06.360 Daily Wire. It says security guard, Travis McGivern, um, testified Monday that he had to,
00:37:11.400 he had to remove Johnny Depp from a situation due to the actor's ex-wife, Amber Heard, physically
00:37:16.280 assaulting him. Heard allegedly punched Depp in the face during the incident through a can of Red
00:37:21.160 Bull, the actor, and tried to spit on him. Depp is suing the Aquaman actress for more than $50
00:37:25.680 million over alleged defamation stemming from an op-ed Heard penned at the Washington Post,
00:37:29.280 claiming to be a victim of domestic violence. Heard is countersued for more than $100 million
00:37:32.440 herself. Um, McGivern testified, at some point I witnessed Miss Heard throw a Red Bull can that
00:37:38.420 struck Mr. Depp in the back. At that point, I moved closer to Mr. Depp. I didn't want my client to
00:37:42.400 get hit with anything else. Their verbal onslaught continued from both of them. Miss Heard threw something
00:37:47.660 else, either a purse or a bag. And I was able to knock it away so it didn't hit Depp. At one point,
00:37:52.880 she spit at him and a lot of verbal vitriol from both of them. And then he says that he had to get
00:37:59.040 Johnny Depp out of the situation for his own safety. Now, this is the latest out of this trial. And, um,
00:38:06.780 here's my, my, my point about this. Now, um, it's good that it seems like most people who have
00:38:12.940 followed the trial between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, um, are realizing that this is not the,
00:38:19.900 the simple picture that Amber Heard and her advocates wanted to paint where, you know,
00:38:26.220 she's the, the victimized woman and he's the evil man and all that. I think most people are realizing
00:38:30.720 that it's, it's more complicated than that. But then you have people that are going too far to the
00:38:35.420 other end of the spectrum here and are coming fully to Johnny Depp's defense and they're fully on
00:38:40.860 his side and Amber Heard is the, is the villain here. No, there are, and I say this as someone I
00:38:48.820 admit, haven't, I haven't followed the case, the story that closely, but I just know because this
00:38:55.220 is a general principle that is almost always true, not always, but almost always true. In a, you know,
00:39:01.980 in a divorce situation, marriage falling apart, something like this, there is very rarely a clear
00:39:08.600 good guy and a clear bad guy. You know, they, they both can recall situations where one person was
00:39:15.540 the good guy and one, one person was the bad guy, but that's the thing. They both have evidence of
00:39:21.400 that. They both have examples they can present and then they're just throwing those examples back and
00:39:25.500 forth and sometimes they're throwing physical objects as well. Because in the vast majority of
00:39:31.080 cases, it takes more than one person to make a marriage fall apart, which is why it's normally
00:39:38.760 quite absurd to take sides, especially when it's celebrities, it's people you don't even know.
00:39:44.020 Even when it's a couple that you do know, taking sides when the marriage is falling apart is usually
00:39:49.340 a bad move. Because it means you're getting, you're getting the story from one person and they're just
00:39:55.600 telling their side of it and they're not going to tell you all the terrible stuff that they've done.
00:39:58.680 But when it's celebrities, like it's just, it's guaranteed that they're both total scumbags.
00:40:06.860 Johnny Depp has already been divorced multiple times. And, and I do know this much about him.
00:40:13.120 He left the mother of his children to go shack up with this Amber Heard character. And then a year
00:40:18.800 later, the marriage fell apart. Marriage barely lasted a year. So he left his family for this woman
00:40:24.540 and the marriage falls apart. So that already means he cannot be the, the flat out good guy here,
00:40:31.380 which doesn't make Amber Heard a good person. It just means they're both bad guys.
00:40:36.560 Like it almost doesn't matter what happened in this particular marriage. You left your family for
00:40:41.980 this woman. You abandoned your kids. So you're already the bad guy. There's no recovering that.
00:40:48.180 So, and that just makes it a little bit simpler. Uh, they're both probably scumbags. And, uh, also,
00:40:56.020 by the way, Johnny Depp, if you're a conservative defending him, he almost certainly hates your guts
00:41:01.040 and would never come to your defense if he ever, if he, if he cared enough to say anything about you,
00:41:06.140 which he wouldn't. So another thing to keep in mind, you know, using the internet without express VPN,
00:41:10.700 it's, uh, kind of like taking a call on a train or a bus on speaker for everyone to hear. You don't
00:41:15.980 know who has asked, who has access to your most private sensitive information, even though lots
00:41:20.580 of people actually seem willing to do just that. We'll even use FaceTime in public, which I find
00:41:24.140 incredibly annoying. Uh, so don't be that person. Here's why I use express VPN. Internet service
00:41:29.300 providers know every single website you visit. And in the U S they can legally sell this information
00:41:33.720 to ad companies and tech giants who then use your data to target you express VPN creates a secure

00:42:17.700 Sharon says, uh, I'm so excited to have Johnny, the walrus from our preschool class. The kids love
00:42:22.380 the book. When I was reading it this morning, they immediately asked if I could read it again.
00:42:26.660 Um, I love that. I'm hearing people read it to preschool classes. People are, um, another great
00:42:31.860 thing that you can do if you want to be very charitable is, you know, they have those, um,
00:42:36.080 a lot of, a lot of places will have those little free box libraries that, you know, on the sidewalk
00:42:42.340 and you could just put a book in there, leave a book, take a book type of thing. Um, I'm hearing
00:42:46.360 people leaving there, you know, donating boxes to schools and libraries. All of that is great.
00:42:52.120 And I appreciate it. And it's again, charitable work as well. Um, let's see, Wayne talking about
00:43:00.600 the discovery plus documentary about, uh, called generation drag about cross-dressing kids and
00:43:05.920 their abusive parents. Wayne says, in some cases, I can't fault the parent in the documentary. When
00:43:10.080 I was a father in the late eighties and early nineties, and the boys became teens, it was a
00:43:13.620 constant battle of wills. We punished it. We punished, but still it didn't stop their rebelliousness when
00:43:19.900 they were out of sight. It's tough teaching your children the truth when they're bombarded daily
00:43:23.540 by lies today. I think the pressure is far worse than back then for some of those fathers in the
00:43:27.640 video who don't agree. I doubt they'd say anything in the documentary. I can imagine what would happen
00:43:32.320 if they did the mothers or fathers that would speak out, wouldn't be on the show and probably
00:43:36.580 be demonized. Well, Wayne, I appreciate your attempt to be charitable to these parents, but I think it's,
00:43:44.480 uh, vastly misguided in this case. You know, first of all, saving your children from something like
00:43:53.620 this is worth any cost you have to pay, including, and especially being villainized by what the mass
00:44:02.660 media, by the left, by the culture, who cares about that? I mean, that's something, if you're
00:44:09.020 going to be a parent at all, then you need to be willing to be villainized because that's the way
00:44:16.000 the culture responds to good parenting these days. And it's been that way for a long time.
00:44:19.340 So I'm not going to, I don't accept that excuse at all. And yeah, it is very difficult to be a
00:44:26.780 parent. I know that. And I think that there are serious challenges that parents today face
00:44:32.860 that parents in the past did not face. Now there are serious challenges that parents in the past
00:44:37.580 faced that we don't, but there are just certain things we're dealing with right now. I mean,
00:44:42.580 let's just take the internet for one thing, social media, all that sort of thing. You know,
00:44:46.520 if you were a parent in the nineties or any time before that in human history, you didn't have to
00:44:52.240 worry about this little contraption that your kid might carry around just totally overtaking their
00:45:00.760 entire life. I mean, I guess back in the nineties, you had Game Boys or something like that. And maybe
00:45:03.780 some kids played with those too, too much, but just, just now having social media, there's like this
00:45:08.280 whole other universe that exists out there where kids get sucked into it and it becomes their entire
00:45:13.940 life, their entire identity. And, uh, it's where they're exposed to the most hideous and graphic
00:45:19.780 and perverse things imaginable. That's something that didn't exist in the past. It does now. So
00:45:24.060 those are all the challenges. And I get that, but that's your calling. That's what you're called to.
00:45:29.880 That's your vocation because you're a parent today. You're not a parent 30 years ago. You're a parent
00:45:34.860 today. And so you just have to deal with that. And there is simply never a time when you can,
00:45:41.500 as a parent, go along with your kid destroying themselves. Your kid, uh, rejecting their own
00:45:51.380 essential nature. Your boy rejecting his masculinity, parading around on stage, cross-dressing,
00:45:59.900 being used as a pawn, being sexualized in that way. I mean, you can never accept that.
00:46:06.020 You got to fight tooth and nail every day to save your child from that, if that's what it takes.
00:46:14.900 All right. Um, let's see what else do we have here? Cool Papa J magic says the crusades were based,
00:46:23.400 Matt, you should do a series about the crusades and other history that's told in falsehoods by the
00:46:27.140 regime. Um, yeah, the thing about the crusades is that they happen over the course of centuries and
00:46:31.520 it's hard to speak in general terms about this entire period of history that, that, uh, that,
00:46:37.720 that's spanned centuries. But one thing we can say about the crusades and they don't teach this in
00:46:42.700 school because they don't teach much of anything worth knowing in school. Uh, but the crusades were
00:46:48.140 launched as a defensive strike against what at that point was centuries of Muslim aggression. So
00:46:56.460 that's the most important thing to know about the crusades. And finally, Andrew says, Matt,
00:47:00.000 why are you not promoting your movie? What is a woman? Well, stay tuned very soon. I'll have a
00:47:06.560 lot more. I just, I've, I've been, it's been like a gag order. There's so much I've wanted to say about
00:47:11.860 this film and, but, but very soon you're going to hear a lot more about it. And that's all I can say
00:47:16.960 right now. Just stay tuned. When the world goes woke, the daily wire builds alternatives. That's why
00:47:22.280 we've started our own publishing wing called DW books. And we're so proud to announce that one of our
00:47:26.680 first books, fiery, but mostly peaceful, the 2020 riots and the gaslighting of America is finally
00:47:30.820 available for purchase today. The book is written by Julio Rosas, who exposes the Black Lives Matter
00:47:35.760 riots that broke out across the country in the aftermath of George Floyd's death and exposes them
00:47:40.040 for the sham that they all really were. Rosas, who was reporting from the ground, has as a firsthand
00:47:44.820 experience that he illuminates the media's attempts to convince Americans that the fatal and destructive
00:47:49.300 riots were peaceful somehow. Here, check out the trailer.
00:47:52.700 The media gaslit the American people for all of 2020 as the riots unfolded. They did not give you
00:47:58.520 the full story. I was there. George Floyd, Kyle Rittenhouse, Rayshard Brooks, Chaz in Seattle. I saw
00:48:05.460 all the riots with my own eyes. Windshields being smashed, giant rocks that were being thrown,
00:48:10.940 businesses that were starting to be looted. The crowd started to become hostile. All the cops were
00:48:17.120 trapped and surrounded. Police were being ordered to retreat. I experienced the tear gas. I experienced
00:48:22.680 the smoke. This was very real to me. The mainstream media, they were trying to call them protests.
00:48:28.720 CNN with that chyron saying, fiery but mostly peaceful. They're trying to push a narrative of
00:48:33.640 don't believe your lying eyes because they were trying to appease a very dedicated Antifa movement
00:48:39.500 that's there. When you read my book, Fiery but Mostly Peaceful, you will get the full story. You will
00:48:44.320 learn what actually happened during the riots of 2020 and what the media did not want to tell you.
00:48:48.580 Buy my book, Fiery but Mostly Peaceful, everywhere books are sold.
00:48:52.680 The book is available right now for purchase on Amazon or anywhere you go buy books online,
00:48:57.540 so order your copy today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:49:05.200 Now an epic story with a twist ending for our daily cancellation today. It begins with the
00:49:09.580 Sydney Morning Herald and an article by a woman named Amanda Trenfield, which is actually an excerpt
00:49:14.940 from a forthcoming book by the same author. More on that book in just a moment. The title of the piece
00:49:21.000 is, less than a month after I met my soulmate, I ended my 14-year marriage. Now from here, we're told
00:49:27.780 all about Amanda's first encounter with her soulmate and about the decision she made to leave her
00:49:32.640 husband in pursuit of this other man. She reports, quote, I wasn't expecting a formal dinner with
00:49:38.680 cheerful conference attendees in the beautiful West Australian town of Margaret River to turn my life
00:49:43.820 upside down. I had a good life. I wasn't looking to upend it. Or was I? I decided only the week earlier
00:49:50.260 to attend the three-day event with my husband. It wasn't in the family holiday plan and we had to
00:49:55.360 arrange care for the children, but I saw it as a perfect opportunity for us to reconnect as we had
00:49:59.860 become quite distant. I believe that time away from the stress of everyday life was the perfect remedy
00:50:04.940 to reignite our relationship. Now it appears that she gave the reconnecting with my husband and
00:50:11.440 reigniting our relationship idea about 30 minutes to pan out. And when it didn't, she immediately
00:50:16.200 started ogling another man. She tells us about how she fell madly in love with a dude named Jason,
00:50:22.360 who was sitting at the same table as her at this conference. And she says they talked all night.
00:50:27.260 She took sips from his glass of wine. He fed her dessert. And we're not told where the husband was
00:50:34.580 during all of this. In fact, Amanda's husband is not mentioned hardly at all through the entire story.
00:50:39.080 Her children also are not mentioned after the first paragraph. They're not even background
00:50:43.280 characters in Amanda's love story. They don't exist, which tells you everything you need to know,
00:50:48.480 really. Be that as it may, wherever her husband was during all of this, here's a tip that hopefully most
00:50:53.860 men don't need to hear. But if your wife is sitting with another man at a table, staring lovingly into
00:51:00.580 his eyes and eating pieces of chocolate cake off of his fork, you may want to have a chat with her
00:51:07.460 because you've probably got some serious problems. Now later we're told that Amanda and Jason went to
00:51:12.800 the hotel bar. Again, the husband is absent from the narrative. Again, I must remind any man listening
00:51:19.620 that it's a very bad sign if your wife is sitting with any man except for you at a hotel bar.
00:51:25.900 But Amanda tells us, quote,
00:51:27.340 At the hotel bar, Jason bought me a glass of my favorite rosé. We looked into each other's eyes,
00:51:33.280 his dark and mysterious, mine big and brown, and clinked glasses. The electricity between us was
00:51:39.300 strong and raw. It traveled to my core. It was so intense I needed to break eye contact.
00:51:44.740 The energy, it was electric. My body was completely charged. I was completely on.
00:51:51.400 I loved talking with him. I felt warm, relaxed, and safe in his presence. I felt I could truly be
00:51:56.480 myself at a level I wasn't familiar with. I realized that it was a feeling I hadn't enjoyed in a long,
00:52:02.400 long time, perhaps ever. The bar called last drinks and the evening, now the early morning,
00:52:06.760 came to an end. The goodbye was overt, open, and revealing of our mutual affection.
00:52:11.960 We enjoyed a body-hugging embrace where I whispered into his ear,
00:52:15.860 This isn't over. I need to see you again. He put his hands tightly on my waist and pulled me close.
00:52:21.680 Yes, he replied. It was all I needed to hear.
00:52:26.740 And I keep going back to the same question. Where's the husband?
00:52:29.740 She's locked in an embrace with a guy whispering in his ear, and her husband's just off in somewhere else.
00:52:36.120 No, it looks fine. Nothing to worry about there.
00:52:37.780 Now, she says that this experience flirting with Jason at the hotel bar profoundly changed her.
00:52:43.600 As she puts it,
00:52:44.220 Actually, there's nothing unusual about the circumstances. I think people having affairs
00:53:12.080 at hotel bars, pretty common. They left the conference and went home. Amanda had no more
00:53:17.360 contact with the mysterious Jason, but a month later, she left her husband, ditched her kids,
00:53:21.980 tore her family apart, ended her marriage, and set out to be with the true love of her life,
00:53:27.160 her true soulmate, Jason. And you can find out much more about this story in her memoir,
00:53:32.480 soon to be published, titled, When a Soulmate Says No. Because as it turns out,
00:53:38.640 her soulmate Jason rejected her. I mean, we can only imagine that when the woman he flirted with
00:53:44.380 for a few hours at a bar a month ago showed up at his doorstep and announced that she'd left her
00:53:49.160 family for him, he was extremely creeped out. I'm not sure how he broke the news to her, but the end
00:53:55.220 result is that Amanda was left alone, rejected, and humiliated. She had ruined her life for nothing.
00:54:01.100 She was a failure, an embarrassment, a woman whose unquenchable narcissism had destroyed her family,
00:54:08.640 and now she has nothing to show for it. Where could she go from there? What could she do?
00:54:15.260 Well, what else but become a life coach? Yes, Amanda Trenfield is now, according to her website,
00:54:21.060 a transformational life coach. She's even certified in the field. She's a certified
00:54:25.640 reinvention coach, she claims. Now, I have no idea how one obtains a certificate as a
00:54:31.080 reinvention coach, but there's no question that Amanda is qualified. After all, she had a stable
00:54:36.400 life and a family, and she reinvented it into a pile of rubble. Very similar to the way that I
00:54:43.820 reinvented my parents' car when I was 19 by having a head-on collision. And nobody was injured in that
00:54:50.360 case. In Amanda's case, entire lives were destroyed and devastated. And now she wants to coach you on how to
00:54:55.540 do the same to your own life. Though that's not exactly how she puts it, of course, the description
00:55:00.000 of her book tries to put a positive spin on all this. In the description, it says,
00:55:04.160 Amanda never imagined that after uprooting her comfortable, stable life to make room for her
00:55:08.060 soulmate, that he would decide to go his own way. They both agreed that their connection was
00:55:12.880 unbelievably cosmic. So why did he say no? A fearless voyage of self-discovery fueled by stubbornness,
00:55:19.920 tenacity, and an unquenchable thirst for answers to the great mysteries of the soul.
00:55:24.000 Amanda shares the intimate details of her transformation from lovesick hot mess
00:55:28.300 to self-actualized superstar with unapologetic vulnerability and effervescent humor.
00:55:34.080 Through the exploration of grief, spirituality, energy therapies, self-acceptance, and the
00:55:38.260 undeniable healing power of a good Diana Ross song, Amanda's story serves as an example of what
00:55:42.420 is possible when we dare to dream of a life that's nothing short of miraculous.
00:55:46.440 That is a very flowery way of putting, I screwed my whole life up. And her story does indeed serve
00:55:55.120 as an example. It shows the possibilities that open up when you shirk your responsibilities,
00:55:59.840 reject your obligations to your family and to your spouse and to God, break your promises,
00:56:03.940 betray your vows, blow your whole life to pieces for the sake of fleeting emotional or sexual
00:56:07.440 enjoyment. And really, all of those possibilities are just one possibility which present themselves in
00:56:12.160 vaguely different forms. The possibility is that you, which is really a certainty, is that you end
00:56:17.340 up alone, pathetic, and miserable, and you spend the rest of your life trying to justify and rationalize
00:56:21.880 the mistakes you made, and also attempting to recruit more people to join you in your misery and
00:56:26.820 your failure. Many, many, many such cases. Amanda is but one. But there is another important lesson
00:56:33.900 we can learn from Amanda. And that is that this is one of the dangers of the soulmate trope. Of course,
00:56:41.700 the real cause of Amanda's troubles is not any misunderstanding about souls or mates, but, you know,
00:56:47.140 it's really her own catastrophic narcissism, cowardice, and weakness. But even so, it's important
00:56:51.440 to note that the soulmate, as the concept is presented in old Disney films and Nicholas Sparks novels
00:56:57.960 and so on, is a myth. There is not one single person who you are destined to be with. Your romantic
00:57:05.380 match is not written in the stars somewhere. And the problem with seeing things this way is that
00:57:10.760 if there's just one person in the world made for you, then it's possible, even likely, if you just do
00:57:17.540 the numbers game, that whoever you marry is not that person. It's possible, in this way of thinking,
00:57:23.940 to marry the wrong person. And it's also possible that you'll meet the right person after having
00:57:28.980 already married the wrong one. Whoops, sorry, honey. I thought our marriage was written in the stars.
00:57:33.360 Turns out I misread the stars. It was actually supposed to be my secretary. So, see you later.
00:57:37.620 Again, many such cases. So, am I saying that my own wife is not my soulmate? No, I am not saying that.
00:57:46.380 She is my soulmate because we chose each other and stood at the altar and got married.
00:57:52.040 Now, we are bonded together for life in a deep and mysterious and spiritual way. Now, we are souls
00:57:58.800 forged together as one. Now, we are soulmates. I think this is actually quite a bit more romantic
00:58:04.700 because it makes us active participants in our own love stories. We weren't drawn together by destiny.
00:58:11.280 We chose each other by our own free will, and we bestowed the sacrament of marriage onto each other,
00:58:16.520 which is how marriage works. So, my wife didn't marry me because I was her soulmate. I'm her soulmate
00:58:22.480 because she married me. That's the truth, and it's so much better, really, than the half-baked
00:58:28.180 nonsense you get from Amanda and the life coaching community. But if you don't believe me and you
00:58:34.420 want to hear more from Amanda and hear her side of this, you can always have a one-hour consultation
00:58:38.740 with her. I went to her website and checked it out. It'll cost you just about $400 an hour.
00:58:43.060 And the good news is that I looked, and she has wide-open availability every day of every hour
00:58:48.700 this month. It looks like her life coaching career is working out about as well as her marriage.
00:58:53.740 And it also looks like there's nothing left to say about Amanda or to her, except you're canceled.
00:58:59.560 And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
00:59:03.060 Godspeed.
