00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wall Show, we're told that the impending decision on Roe v. Wade will help the
00:00:03.780 Democrats because it will galvanize their base around the abortion issue. But as we've seen
00:00:07.600 over the last couple of days, abortion is actually the last issue Democrats want to talk about,
00:00:11.300 and we'll talk about why that is. Also, Rachel Levine at HHS says that there is no argument
00:00:15.320 against castrating children. Democrats also actually want Trump back on Twitter, according
00:00:20.080 to a new report. I wonder why that is. And in our daily cancellation, an obese woman fights for
00:00:24.320 greater plus-size representation in the travel industry. We'll talk about all that and more

00:01:50.500 a leak that Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed as authentic yesterday, no surprise, is that
00:01:55.400 overturning Roe would actually help the Democrats ultimately by galvanizing their base before the
00:02:00.880 midterms. It's pointed out that according to most polling data, a majority of Americans do not want
00:02:06.200 Roe overturned, supposedly. But it's always a precarious thing, I think, to trust popular wisdom
00:02:12.680 in a society so bereft of wisdom. Popular wisdom is simply the wisdom of the unwise. And that's
00:02:18.380 certainly the case here. First of all, of course, even if it happened to be true that overturning
00:02:23.400 Roe and abolishing the mythical constitutional right to abortion would help Democrats, it would still be
00:02:28.380 worth doing. I mean, even if overturning Roe would tear our country in two and precipitate a civil
00:02:33.220 war, it would still be worth doing. In fact, some might argue that the latter scenario would be an
00:02:37.660 added benefit of overturning it. Some might argue that anyway. I'm just saying some people might
00:02:42.980 think that. The point is that the first and most fundamental priority is to save the lives of
00:02:47.040 innocent children. There is no cost too heavy to pay. Literally no cost. I would accept any consequence
00:02:53.700 at all if it meant rescuing even one child from the hands of the butchers. But as it happens,
00:03:00.140 it is not true that overturning Roe will help the Democrats. It's not true because, for one thing,
00:03:06.320 if Democrat voters are galvanized, they're not going to be the only ones. This pushes the abortion
00:03:11.460 issue back down to the states, which means that Republican voters will finally now have the power
00:03:16.660 to elect people who can fully outlaw abortion in their states. This is an inability, a power that
00:03:21.920 pro-life voters have, most anyway, have never had. The Roe decision, by design, took the power out of
00:03:29.400 the hands of pro-life voters. And that was the whole point. How could putting power back into
00:03:35.280 their hands be somehow, what, demoralizing or only galvanizing to people on the opposite side of the
00:03:41.660 issue? That makes no sense. But there's another reason why this turn of events will not help the
00:03:46.820 Democrats, despite the popular wisdom. If this issue is still at the top of the stack by the time
00:03:53.300 the midterms roll around, and that's a big if, because there's a better than 50% chance that the
00:03:57.660 whole issue will be 300 news cycles in the past by then, and nobody will be talking about it anymore
00:04:02.020 because no one can talk about anything or focus on anything for more than, you know, 30 seconds at
00:04:06.460 a time. But if it's still somehow above the fold at that point, that will not actually be a good thing
00:04:12.300 for the Democrats, because that means that Democrat politicians within close proximity of an election
00:04:17.980 will have to talk about abortion, and they don't actually want to talk about abortion. That's the
00:04:24.020 dirty little secret here. They want their voters to be motivated by the fear of, quote-unquote,
00:04:29.680 anti-choice Republicans trying to take their, quote, bodily autonomy away, but they want to stoke this
00:04:35.380 fear in very generalized and very vague sorts of ways. They don't want to actually talk about abortion
00:04:42.140 itself. They certainly don't want to get into the nitty-gritty of what they really believe on this
00:04:47.580 issue because when they do, it quickly becomes apparent that their views on the subject fall
00:04:52.500 into two categories and only two categories, and usually both at once, one incoherent and two
00:04:58.840 barbaric. The entire Democrat strategy with respect to abortion is built around the effort to make sure
00:05:04.120 that voters don't notice these two facts, and that means being very circumspect about abortion and not
00:05:11.200 dwelling on the issue for very long. The polls may indicate that most Americans, quote-unquote,
00:05:17.120 support abortion, but that's only because, or rather support Roe, that's what the polls indicate,
00:05:21.520 that they support Roe, but that's only because most Americans don't understand Roe or what it
00:05:25.380 actually entails, which isn't fully their fault. I mean, they've got the entire media apparatus which
00:05:30.420 is trying to confuse them about it. A majority of those same Americans also support sweeping
00:05:36.080 restrictions on abortions, whereas Roe was designed to eliminate those restrictions. There is an
00:05:41.460 incoherence to the average American's view on the subject, and that's what Democrats want to
00:05:45.860 maintain. As always, they don't necessarily need or want you to agree with their views. They just want
00:05:51.520 you to be confused. Now, agreeing with them is great if they can get it, but if they can't get it, then
00:05:57.600 they'll take confusion. That's a fine runner-up prize as far as they're concerned. Once abortion
00:06:04.140 becomes the topic of conversation, as it is right now, for however long that remains the case, the
00:06:11.320 barbarism and incoherence of the left-wing position comes to the forefront. One of the most, one of the
00:06:17.480 best, I think most famous, most infamous examples of this happened back in 2019 when Virginia
00:06:22.440 Democrats were pushing for a bill that would legalize abortion through every phase of pregnancy
00:06:27.340 up until birth. And lots of other states have bills like this on the books now. In exchange in the
00:06:33.440 Virginia House of Delegates between Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert and Democrat Delegate Kathy
00:06:38.380 Tran, I think illustrates the problem for Democrats. When they're put on the spot and they're forced to
00:06:44.620 actually explain their real position on the subject, they're exposed as the incomprehensible
00:06:50.100 monsters that they truly are. So let's go back and watch that again to refresh our memories. And this
00:06:54.780 again is why Democrats do not actually want to talk about this and especially don't want to talk about
00:07:00.120 it when they're headed into an election. Watch this. Delegate Tran. Yes, sir. How late in a
00:07:06.160 pregnancy would your bill apply if a physician would simply willing to certify that, that the
00:07:14.240 continuation of the pregnancy would impair the mental health of, of the woman? How, how late are
00:07:19.680 we talking about? Well, so, so the way the suggestion that we've made in the bill is to say it's in the
00:07:27.200 third trimester and at the, you know, with the certification of the physician. So, so how late
00:07:33.340 in the third trimester would you be able to, to do that? You know, I'm, it's very unfortunate that
00:07:39.820 there are physicians, uh, witnesses were not able to attend today to speak specifically. No,
00:07:44.140 I'm talking about your bill. How, how late, how late in the third trimester could a physician
00:07:49.420 perform an abortion if he indicated it would impair the mental health of the, of the woman?
00:07:53.660 Or physical health. Okay. Okay. I'm talking about the mental health. So, I mean, through the third
00:08:00.540 trimester, the third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks. Okay. But to the end of the third
00:08:05.260 trimester. Yep. I don't think we have a limit in the bill. So, um,
00:08:09.340 where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs of that she is about
00:08:21.740 to give a birth. Would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so
00:08:27.020 certified? She's dilating. Uh, Mr. Chairman, that would be a, you know, a decision that the doctor,
00:08:40.300 the physician, and the woman would make at that point. I understand that. I'm asking if your bill
00:08:43.180 allows that. My bill would allow that. Yes. Hmm. So this was her bill, but she didn't want to talk
00:08:51.820 about it. This issue that's supposedly what good for the left, they, they, the Democrats and it's
00:08:57.480 going to motivate their voters and they don't want to talk about it. She don't want to talk about the
00:09:01.620 fact that yes, it would have made it legal to kill a fully developed infant child in the womb
00:09:07.900 seconds before birth. She also didn't want to talk about the fact that when Democrats say that abortion
00:09:14.360 might be necessary to protect the health of the mother, that also includes mental health.
00:09:19.760 That's really what they mean is if a woman says that her mental health will suffer because she'll
00:09:26.520 be sad about having a baby. Well, uh, that's an example if she gets an abortion in that case. Well,
00:09:31.760 that's also an example of, uh, of abortion saving the life of the mother. These are the kinds of ugly
00:09:38.480 realities that come out whenever the nation's attention is focused on this issue. Democrats are simply not
00:09:44.680 able to speak for more than one or two sentences about abortion without devolving into
00:09:49.340 savagery and nonsense. And that's certainly been the case of the last two days as well.
00:09:54.480 Um, let's look at a few examples. And speaking of not being able to speak for more than one or two
00:09:58.680 sentences, let's start with president Biden giving his take on the Supreme court's draft decision.
00:10:03.100 And I want you to listen to the words that he uses.
00:10:06.400 So the idea that we're going to make the judgment that is going to say that no one can make the
00:10:16.200 judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the Supreme court, I think goes way
00:10:24.960 overboard. Abort a child, he says. The Democrat position on this subject is so horrifying that just
00:10:32.900 simply hearing someone say it out loud abort a child makes your hair stand on end. You also see
00:10:40.880 there how, how much it pains Biden to be talking about this at all. He spends most of his answer
00:10:45.480 filibustering, you know, treading water, trying to avoid even saying the word abort the idea that
00:10:50.800 we're going to make a judgment that is going to say that no one can make the judgment to choose to
00:10:56.420 abort a child. Now, granted, Biden's brain is just a bowl of grits at this point, but this is pretty
00:11:03.000 standard for the left when it comes to this issue. Case in point, another case in point anyway, listen
00:11:07.500 to Whoopi Goldberg on The View yesterday. Listen to this. This is my body and nobody, you, you know,
00:11:15.260 you've got people telling me I got to wear a mask or don't wear a mask or do this. Everybody wants to
00:11:20.780 tell me what to do, but you won't let me make my decision about my body. You are not the person
00:11:29.000 to make that decision. My doctor and myself and my child, that's who makes the decision. And one of
00:11:36.460 the things I really want to point out before we go is the reason abortion came about. Women in this
00:11:43.380 country lived forever with it being illegal. Okay. Women, when they decide something is not right
00:11:52.960 for them, they're going to take it into their own hands. Well, we got tired of tripping over women
00:11:58.100 in bathrooms, public bathrooms who were giving themselves abortions because there was nowhere
00:12:03.840 safe, nowhere clean, nowhere to go. This law came about because people wanted people to have somewhere
00:12:11.660 safe and somewhere clean. It has nothing to do with your religion. This is not a religious issue.
00:12:17.380 This is a human issue. If you care about me as a, as a human being, you should know three things.
00:12:25.800 Getting an abortion is not easy. Making that decision is not easy.
00:12:30.560 We have to stop it there. Even though she has two other things on her list,
00:12:34.780 there's already too much nonsense to sort through. That was 78 seconds. So she had 78 seconds to talk
00:12:39.740 about abortion and she couldn't get through it without venturing repeatedly into the realm of
00:12:43.840 horrifying nonsense. First, she says that an abortion is a decision that should be left up to
00:12:50.140 myself, my doctor, and my child. So what? The child consents to the abortion now? This is consensual
00:12:59.020 butchery? Are we pretending that the child is consulted and agrees to have its body torn apart limb from limb?
00:13:05.280 That was 28 seconds in. From there, she claims that before Roe, you couldn't go into a women's
00:13:11.040 restroom without tripping over women, laying all over the floor, giving themselves abortions with
00:13:15.780 coat hangers. That's what she wants us to believe. And now that she's in the realm of the hallucinatory,
00:13:21.920 she actually points to something that's true. She says that getting an abortion is not easy.
00:13:27.360 That again, that's true. I mean, it comes at a great cost. Women suffer immensely before,
00:13:33.380 during, and after their abortions. But why, Whoopi? Why isn't it easy? Why do women suffer so much from
00:13:41.340 their abortions if abortion simply extracts a blob of lifeless, meaningless tissue? Why?
00:13:49.700 Why would it be so painful? Why isn't it easy?
00:13:53.420 You know, if you have a wart on your skin or something and you go and get that
00:14:01.420 blob of tissue removed, that's not, that's pretty easy. Nobody would be talking about the emotional
00:14:08.320 trauma involved there. So why is it hard? She doesn't want to answer that. She can't.
00:14:16.540 She can't talk about it beyond the blathering nonsense you just heard. And yet it helps
00:14:21.480 Democrats when abortion is the number one issue. This thing that they can't talk about.
00:14:28.800 And when it comes to disturbing gibberish that we hear from the left about abortion,
00:14:32.480 we certainly cannot neglect to acknowledge this moment on MSNBC yesterday. Here's Yamiche
00:14:37.600 Alcindor, alleged journalist, giving her perspective. Listen to this.
00:14:41.200 She'll always be able to get an abortion because she'll be able to fly to one of what they're
00:14:45.340 calling the 13 safe states, places that might continue to have abortion like California or
00:14:50.280 New York. But for a lot of vulnerable women, women who are poor, women who are women, women of color,
00:14:54.540 they will be forced to have pregnancies that they cannot afford to terminate and pregnancies
00:14:59.800 that will then turn into children. Forced to have pregnancies that turn into children.
00:15:06.300 Forced to have pregnancies that turn into children.
00:15:09.300 What were they before they turned into children? Were they
00:15:12.700 turtles before that? Kangaroos? Space aliens?
00:15:17.640 What was the woman pregnant with
00:15:19.660 before the point when the pregnancy turned into a child?
00:15:24.140 This, of course, makes no sense whatsoever. And only the most oblivious Americans could fail to
00:15:28.580 notice how nonsensical it is. And here we're only focusing on the turn into a child bit.
00:15:33.440 But the part right before that is just as stupid. She says,
00:15:36.660 forced to have pregnancies. Who's forcing women to have pregnancies? Less than 1% of abortions are due
00:15:45.940 to rape. And those statistics, by the way, are from like the Guttmacher Institute pro-abortion groups
00:15:53.000 give us those statistics. So we can be pretty sure that the actual number is smaller than even what
00:15:59.320 they tell us. Let's just go with 1% for the sake of argument. For the other 99 plus percent,
00:16:05.360 these are women who get pregnant after choosing to participate in the reproductive act.
00:16:12.720 They did a thing through their own free will and volition, which has literally billions of times in
00:16:18.120 the past resulted in pregnancy. They chose to participate in this activity. In the 99%
00:16:25.440 of cases, nobody forced anything. So who forced them to be pregnant? Nature? God? Who's the culprit
00:16:32.460 here? What are you talking about? Abortion doesn't turn back the clock or undo what's been done.
00:16:40.460 Abortion doesn't erase the pregnancy. One way or another, if a woman is pregnant,
00:16:45.560 eventually the pregnancy must come to an end. It can end naturally, usually through the birth of a
00:16:50.780 child, or it can be ended through violence. Violence against another living being. Our position
00:16:58.500 as pro-lifers is that once a woman becomes pregnant, it is not acceptable to commit violence against the
00:17:04.000 living being in the womb, no matter how she feels about the pregnancy. That's our position, and it's
00:17:09.440 clear. We're not ashamed of it. We'll say it out loud, clearly. We don't need recourse to
00:17:15.160 euphemism. The left hides behind euphemism and code words and gibberish because they're terrified
00:17:21.260 to let you see the hideous truth at the core of their position. And that's why already many of them
00:17:29.040 are changing the subject, changing it in quite desperate and hilarious ways. Here's Eric Swalwell,
00:17:34.380 congressman and infamous public farter, tweeting. He says, the Republicans won't stop with banning
00:17:40.260 abortion. They want to ban interracial marriage. Do you want to save that? Well, then you should
00:17:46.540 probably vote. Ban interracial marriage? What? How did that get introduced into the conversation?
00:17:55.100 And what Republican has advocated banning interracial marriage? I want to know which Republican has stood
00:18:01.780 on the floor of the Senate or the House of Representatives and said that we need to ban interracial
00:18:07.980 marriage. And how have we not heard about that if that happened? One of the conservative
00:18:14.940 justices on the court, Clarence Thomas, is in an interracial marriage. Does he want to ban his own
00:18:20.400 marriage? What is he babbling about? Well, he's just trying to change the subject because he wants to
00:18:28.260 talk about any subject other than the subject at hand. And don't be fooled. That's what they all want.
00:18:34.920 Now, let's get to our five headlines.
00:18:43.460 You know, identity theft may sound complicated, and maybe it sounds like something you don't have
00:18:48.140 to worry about. But in some cases, all a thief needs to carry out a shopping scam is your name,
00:18:52.520 mailing address, email address, and phone number. And it's not hard for them to get those details.
00:18:56.160 And with those details, they can start an online store account, but add their own shipping info.
00:19:00.500 Then they purchase items on accounts without your knowledge, leaving you only with collections
00:19:05.000 notices. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting
00:19:09.440 our lives. This is just one of the ways of many. Every day, we put our information at risk on the
00:19:13.000 internet. In an instant, a cybercriminal could steal what's yours, sometimes even harm your finances,
00:19:17.840 your credit, your reputation, your whole life, basically. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock
00:19:22.040 helps detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number for sale on the dark
00:19:26.920 web. If they detect your information is potentially compromised, they'll send you an alert, and you
00:19:31.340 also have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim. So you have

00:19:51.580 By the way, I also wanted to mention that Whoopi Goldberg, like I said, the Whoopi Goldberg clip,
00:19:59.060 there's just so much, it's hard to sift through everything and point to every part of every little
00:20:04.500 piece of it that was incorrect or false or, you know, fallacious. But one other point worth making
00:20:12.480 here is that she says, oh, this is not about religion. Don't bring your religion into it.
00:20:16.920 And of course, every time abortion comes up, this is what we hear from the left. Don't bring religion.
00:20:23.860 Oh, get your religion out of my uterus and so on and so forth. But you notice something? They are
00:20:30.180 always the ones who bring religion into it. They bring religion into it by telling us to keep religion
00:20:35.360 out of it. But most of us, we're not talking about religion. Now, it's true that if you are a
00:20:48.120 Christian, like it's not possible actually to be a Christian and be pro-abortion. That's true.
00:20:56.240 Because our faith absolutely forbids murdering innocent people, including and especially children.
00:21:05.360 But that's, we don't, the argument against abortion is universal and simple.
00:21:17.720 We don't need to make it into a theological conversation. And we're not the ones who do that.
00:21:22.760 In fact, the left, they're the ones who bring up religion in two ways. They bring it up by telling
00:21:26.940 us to keep religion out of it. And actually, ironically here, if anyone in the abortion conversation
00:21:33.220 is going to bring up religion to justify their position, it's almost always the left.
00:21:38.380 That's where you hear Joe Biden and all these alleged pro-abortion Catholics saying,
00:21:43.500 my religion calls me to, they're the ones who do that.
00:21:48.620 And why do they do it? It's because, again, they're just scrambling to say anything,
00:21:53.400 do anything, to put as much distance as they can in between the issue and themselves.
00:21:59.760 And they want to put distance between the issue and the conversation. And so if they can make
00:22:04.300 the conversation about religion, they'll do that. If they can make it about interracial marriage,
00:22:08.160 they'll do that. If they can make it about gay marriage, which is another thing we're seeing
00:22:13.720 from the left. Next, they're going to go after gay marriage. Anything they can do to put distance,
00:22:18.620 they're going to do that. A couple of the clips I want to play here. Kamala Harris spoke out yesterday
00:22:26.480 and here she is doing her best impression of a normal human being. She's trying to
00:22:35.040 sort of pretend to be angry. She's trying to generate feelings of anger. And let's see how she does.
00:22:41.720 Women would lose access to abortion immediately and outright. Those Republican leaders who are
00:22:51.220 trying to weaponize the use of the law against women. Well, we say, how dare they? How dare they
00:23:01.400 tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body? How dare they? How dare they try to stop
00:23:10.820 her from determining her own future? How dare they try to deny women their rights and their freedoms?
00:23:23.360 Just more transphobia from the left. We have to keep pointing this out. We have to keep pointing
00:23:29.780 it out because we can't let them get away with this. They're going to try to do it. They are doing
00:23:33.520 it right now, but we can't just let them get away with it. There are many reasons why everything she
00:23:40.140 said there is wrong and stupid and dishonest, but also you can't do this anymore, Kamala.
00:23:48.320 That's out the window for you. You're not allowed. This is not, you can't do it.
00:23:53.480 You've ruled this out. You've given this up. This whole thing about this attack on women,
00:23:58.260 that's out the window because women don't exist, according to you. According to your world,
00:24:02.740 your worldview has erased women from existence. They're gone, according to you.
00:24:10.580 Now, where does that leave you as a woman? I don't know. You're just some sort of like
00:24:13.900 phantom walking the earth. I don't know. I mean, I can't make sense of it. It's your worldview,
00:24:19.180 not mine. In my worldview, women certainly exist, but in yours, they don't. So you can't do this.
00:24:24.600 I'm not going to allow it. We can't allow it.
00:24:26.120 That's why on the right, we should not engage with this attack on women. We should not engage
00:24:32.540 with that claim beyond simply asking, what's a woman? What are you talking about? Again,
00:24:39.760 there are many other ways we could engage with it, but we shouldn't. Instead, it's just, I don't even,
00:24:44.580 I don't even know what you're saying. What in the world are you talking about? How could this be an
00:24:49.160 attack on women? Are you suggesting that women have some particular special capacity to give birth,
00:25:01.100 to bring new life into the world? Are you suggesting that this is a unique, special
00:25:07.320 aspect of womanhood? What a transphobic, horrendous thing to say.
00:25:13.660 We've got the same routine from Elizabeth Warren, who was also pretending to be upset. Let's play
00:25:19.620 clip 14. I am angry. I am angry because an extremist United States Supreme Court thinks that they can
00:25:35.140 impose their extremist views on all of the women of this country and they are wrong.
00:25:42.340 I am angry because we have reached the culmination of what Republicans have been fighting for,
00:25:53.540 angling for, for decades now, and we are going to fight back.
00:26:02.080 Somebody get grandmother over to a home. She's losing her mind. I mean, there's something especially
00:26:08.300 just repulsive in particular about, well, about all, you know, the entire pro-abortion side, but
00:26:14.180 in particular, these old, bitter, boomer feminists who are reaching, you know, the end of their,
00:26:24.760 the end of their days. I mean, they're, they're in the, certainly the, the latter part of their,
00:26:29.500 their lives. And, um, they have already overseen people like Elizabeth Warren,
00:26:34.220 who's what in her nineties or something, whatever she is. They've already overseen the slaughter,
00:26:40.360 the mass slaughter of 60 million babies. And they're not satisfied. I mean, their bloodlust
00:26:45.180 has not been quenched. They want even more babies to be killed. I mean, just imagine being,
00:26:50.500 you're a grandmother and you're angry. You're screeching. I mean, she sounds like some creature
00:26:58.360 that you hear in the woods at night, especially around here in Tennessee. I go take the garbage out
00:27:02.800 and we're surrounded by woods and you just hear all these sounds. It's like, it's like Elizabeth
00:27:06.940 Warren must be in the woods. It's what she sounds like. She's, she is reduced to this guttural
00:27:11.660 howling and screeching, this demonic, uh, hysteria. She reminds me of that, uh, either,
00:27:20.960 either a creature in the woods at night or maybe better yet, the scene and the passion of the Christ,
00:27:25.560 um, after, uh, you know, when you see after Christ conquers death, uh, and the resurrection and,
00:27:33.900 and, uh, and then we, we, we, we cut to a scene of Satan just howling in hell. And that's what she
00:27:38.900 reminds me of. And this is what they're, their grandmothers, and this is what they're doing.
00:27:46.420 Barely even, they've just, you're looking at someone who has forfeited her humanity,
00:27:51.820 a soulless husk. Pretty disturbing. All right, let's move to this. This is from the Daily Wire.
00:28:02.340 Uh, more disturbing news for you if you wanted some more. The highest ranking transgender person
00:28:06.620 in the Biden administration, who is also a pediatrician, claimed there is no argument
00:28:10.520 among medical professionals about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care.
00:28:16.240 This is, uh, speaking to the National Public Radio, Admiral Rachel Levine, the U.S. Assistant Secretary
00:28:20.800 for Health used the opportunity to attack Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, an ally of Florida,
00:28:26.380 uh, GOP Governor Ron DeSantis. Levine accused Ladapo of putting out a statement based upon
00:28:30.900 political considerations that is not appropriate. Ladapo had released a fact sheet on April 20th
00:28:36.260 that stated, uh, it would clarify evidence recently cited on a fact sheet released by the U.S.
00:28:41.420 Department of Health and Human Services. Um, and now the Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine,
00:28:47.980 and he's coming out and saying not just that it's acceptable to perform chemical castration
00:28:52.880 on children and to sterilize children, but actually that there's, there's no argument about it
00:28:57.540 whatsoever. And the response I've heard from the right to this is that, uh, well, that's,
00:29:04.720 that's absurd. That's ridiculous. I mean, of course there's, there's arguments within the medical
00:29:09.140 community about this, but actually Rachel Levine in this case is more right than we would like to
00:29:17.300 think. Not right about it being acceptable or okay to do that to kids. Obviously that is, uh, that's
00:29:25.080 child abuse. That's what I mean, worse than child abuse and everybody involved should go to prison
00:29:29.020 forever. But in terms of the medical community, community, the medical industry, there is now
00:29:37.200 almost unanimous agreement because they've pushed all the dissenting voices out and whatever dissenting
00:29:46.060 voices could still remain within that community have mostly been silenced or they have silenced
00:29:50.440 themselves out of fear and cowardice. I mean, remember, I have to keep emphasizing this because I,
00:29:55.940 I, I just, I feel like we're not, we're not focusing on it quite, quite enough. It was the
00:30:01.540 American Academy of Pediatrics last week that put out that book, um, promoting, you know, a book for
00:30:10.260 kids, which was charting on the children's bestseller list below my own book, by the way, my book was,
00:30:16.560 uh, actually we just found out from Amazon side note that's, um, uh, according to Amazon charts,
00:30:22.080 Johnny, the walrus was the number one book in the entire country last week. So that was good news.
00:30:25.940 And, uh, this disgusting book for the American Academy of Pediatrics was below that, but even so
00:30:31.160 American Academy of Pediatrics, that was their book promoting puberty blockers, chemical castration,
00:30:37.600 sterilization for kids. Okay. And that's his, in, in terms of the medical community,
00:30:43.460 that's as mainstream as you can possibly get.
00:30:47.220 And so when Rachel Levine claims, when he says that there's no argument to that, you know, within,
00:30:56.660 within the medical community,
00:30:58.620 it is a, it is a shame and an outrage that that is almost, almost true. There are exceptions,
00:31:07.040 exceptions, but they are few and far between, which does not at all, even a little bit serve to
00:31:15.560 legitimize this kind of butchery that's done to children and the drugging of children doesn't
00:31:22.220 serve to legitimize it. What it does, unfortunately, is serve to further delegitimize the medical industry.
00:31:28.880 They have delegitimize themselves by putting politics and putting ideology and, uh, and also
00:31:38.800 putting their own professional advancement above their oath to do no harm, you know, to treat,
00:31:47.860 not to harm. They've, they've put politics, ideology, personal advancement above all of that,
00:31:52.700 far above it. Whereas the actual, what is supposed to be the actual purpose of medicine is now,
00:31:59.820 it's not even an afterthought in many of these cases. And especially when it comes to gender
00:32:06.000 confused children. It's not an afterthought, you know, the idea of like actually helping these kids
00:32:13.320 and treating whatever ails them. And most of the time what's ailing them, it's a mental thing and
00:32:20.160 it's not even a mental illness. It's just confusion and understandable confusion given
00:32:25.160 the environment they're in. And so treating them doesn't require drugs, doesn't even, doesn't,
00:32:28.900 wouldn't even require intense therapy in many of these cases. It's just sitting them down and
00:32:33.440 telling them the truth and explaining it. Um, but no, it's, that's not an afterthought. That's just,
00:32:40.460 that's not a thought at all. That's not anywhere on the radar. They're not going to do that for these
00:32:45.440 kids. Um, let's see what else we got here. Uh, from the Daily Wire, Lil Nas X has been criticized
00:32:55.740 for promoting his songs to a young audience and then releasing music that's only suitable for
00:33:00.080 adults. The 23 year old rapper, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, insisted he was free to change
00:33:05.480 his target audience whenever he wants. Now he's back to targeting the kids' music market by inviting
00:33:10.120 the Wiggles to go on tour with him. Uh, he shared on Twitter last week, trying really hard to get the
00:33:15.300 Wiggles to co-headline the tour with me. I'll keep you guys updated. And, um, and I actually found out
00:33:22.280 about this last week before the, uh, for the Daily Wire reported on it because my wife, you know, has been
00:33:31.180 historically a big fan of the Wiggles and she has inflicted that on me over the course of, you know,
00:33:36.620 the last eight years with each successive kids. She's tried to indoctrinate them into the Wiggles.
00:33:40.980 And so I've got the songs about fruit salad and big red car and all this kind of stuff. Um, I have
00:33:45.820 to endure and listen to in the car and everything. And she saw this and was, was very upset. I don't
00:33:49.900 know if the Wiggles, um, have accepted this invitation or not, but this only goes to show
00:33:56.580 this Lil Nas X guy. You want to talk about groomers and predators in Hollywood and in the music industry?
00:34:04.040 He's like predator groomer. Number one, he's, he's blatant about it and completely unapologetic.
00:34:14.100 A lot of the other groomers and predators, they at least pretend to be offended when you
00:34:18.620 accuse them of that. They pretend that they're doing something else. Oh, we're not doing that.
00:34:23.040 For him, it's out in the open. I mean, he came onto the scene
00:34:27.040 trying to cultivate a fan base of not just kids, but very young kids, like elementary school age
00:34:35.520 kids. He went and performed at, at elementary schools and he was on Nickelodeon, all this kind
00:34:40.060 of stuff. And then he went immediately from that to, uh, given a lap dance to Satan right to there.
00:34:49.540 And, and then you, and then people that want to defend him, his defenders said, well, he's just,
00:34:56.820 he's, he's free to make that kind of transition. He's free to make the transition from singing
00:35:01.920 elementary schools to lap dancing on Satan. Uh, and this is just, it's a, it's a, it's the evolution
00:35:09.420 of his career. Yeah. Except now he's circling back around and trying to recruit, um, this
00:35:15.560 children's musical group to perform with him on, on, uh, on stage. So this is very much
00:35:23.240 out in the open attempt to sexualize, groom, prey upon kids. Uh, one of the quick thing I want to
00:35:30.780 mention this from the Washington Examiner says White House officials are letting it be known that
00:35:33.760 they desire Twitter to invite back former president Donald Trump conflicting with earlier reports.
00:35:38.880 The occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are reportedly warming up to the idea that president
00:35:42.660 Joe Biden might benefit if Elon Musk should, uh, his $44 billion takeover Twitter be finalized
00:35:49.460 immediately reverses the ban on Biden's 2020 rival beyond casting the Republican party as a hostage
00:35:54.880 to right-wing extremists. The other thing White House officials are cheering for a number of them
00:36:00.100 said over the weekend that if Elon Musk indeed takes over Twitter, they hope the first thing he does
00:36:05.480 is put Donald Trump back on it. And the reason they want Donald Trump back on Twitter is because
00:36:11.400 they think it works to their advantage to have, you know, to have this kind of immediate access to
00:36:17.120 Donald Trump's stream of consciousness. They think it works. They think that his tweeting works to
00:36:22.380 their advantage and they want him back on Twitter. And I've been saying this from day one, that they
00:36:28.100 pretended they wanted Trump off of Twitter, but they never actually wanted that. And they do want
00:36:32.200 him back on because it works more to their benefit to have them on. Now this reveals that, of course,
00:36:36.380 once again, that everything they say is, is fake and not true. And, uh, they're just pretending
00:36:40.640 because, you know, everything they say, Oh, Donald Trump is dangerous. We can't have his rhetoric.
00:36:44.720 No, they, they want it out there because they think it benefits them.
00:36:50.800 So it goes to show that, but it also shows how, you know, and I actually agree with them
00:36:55.640 that I think Trump back on Twitter benefits Democrats more than it benefits Republicans.
00:37:01.560 I know there are a lot of Republicans and conservatives cheering for it. They want Trump back on Twitter.
00:37:06.540 I think he should be allowed back on Twitter. I think the idea that the sitting president
00:37:11.400 United States was ever kicked off of Twitter in the first place is just utter madness.
00:37:16.500 And even now as a former president, it's still madness. But as of right now, Trump says that
00:37:21.320 if he's allowed back on, he's not going to, he's not going to accept the invitation because he wants
00:37:26.440 to use his platform, Truth Social. And, um, I, I, I hope that he sticks with that because I think
00:37:33.860 ultimately it just, it, what it means, it means a lot of things, but mainly it means that
00:37:39.180 if you got Trump on Twitter tweeting all the time, it means that the Democrats anytime they
00:37:45.720 want can just take one of his tweets and make that the story. Anytime they want to distract
00:37:50.700 from something. And we saw this through four years, five years, anytime they want to distract
00:37:57.040 from something, there was a, there was a new cycle that wasn't going their way. Just take one of
00:38:01.200 his tweets and he always had, there was always a, a stream of new tweets that they could choose
00:38:05.720 from. So they're pick of the litter, take one. And that's the story. Oh, look at this mean thing
00:38:09.760 he tweeted. Now I think they got diminishing returns on that from a PR perspective, but even
00:38:17.020 so it's a, it is still a diversion mechanism for them that works in their favor. If you've been
00:38:26.080 listening to my show for a while, you're probably familiar with one of our top sponsors who we're
00:38:30.620 very happy and proud to have on the show, Rock Auto. Well, recently my producer McKenna told me
00:38:35.820 about her own experience shopping with Rock Auto and how great it was for her. And it's such a great
00:38:40.460 story. We're going to tell it to you again. McKenna was carpooling with her boyfriend during an ice
00:38:44.800 storm and turned on his windshield wipers before he got in the car to help get rid of the ice. But with
00:38:49.020 this simple act, she destroyed her windshield wipers and they had to drive in the rain with wipers that
00:38:53.640 barely could wipe the rain away. During the drive to work, she figured it was worth checking
00:38:57.300 rockauto.com to see if they had replacement options for the windshield wipers. And sure enough,
00:39:02.040 she was able to buy some new windshield wipers for the car that are made to deal with ice and for a
00:39:06.640 surprisingly reasonable price. So if you're like McKenna, I need a quick fix, or if you need to do
00:39:11.480 some major repairs, you should check out rockauto.com. Once you go to rockauto.com, a list will guide you

00:39:37.760 needs today. All right, let's get now to the comment section.
00:39:55.100 Here's a message from Stephen L. who says, I find it hilarious that conservatives whined about doxing
00:40:00.440 libs of TikTok, but now want to dox the Supreme Court leaker. Yeah, well, that's not even close to
00:40:08.100 the same thing at all. Libs of TikTok was a Twitter account, an anonymous Twitter account
00:40:17.640 that posted TikTok videos on Twitter. That's what libs of TikTok was, is. And posted other things too,
00:40:26.740 but primarily that's why we call libs of TikTok. The person who leaked Supreme Court documents,
00:40:33.980 that is somebody who works within the Supreme Court, who's taking these, what are right now,
00:40:39.060 confidential documents, putting them out in public in an unprecedented historic move
00:40:46.320 in order to intimidate Supreme Court justices and influence the outcome of a Supreme Court case.
00:40:54.440 Okay, so this is two completely different things. In the case of, like, it's not newsworthy. Nobody
00:41:00.640 needs to know the identity of the person who's posting TikTok videos on Twitter. It is very
00:41:08.260 newsworthy, the identity of the person working within the Supreme Court, whoever it is, who's trying
00:41:13.640 to influence Supreme Court decisions and intimidate Supreme Court justices by leaking these documents.
00:41:19.440 Very newsworthy. And it's more than newsworthy. It's relevant to law enforcement. I mean,
00:41:27.020 this is someone who needs to be flushed out and at least fired, and I think also prosecuted.
00:41:34.460 So you're really reaching there, I got to say. Rose says, Matt, what about the theory that a
00:41:40.180 conservative leaked the decision in order to stop one of the five in the majority from defecting,
00:41:44.340 basically locking them into place? Yeah, I don't buy that at all. First of all, a conservative,
00:41:51.260 if we're talking about a clerk here, which I guess this is the assumption is that some clerk in the
00:41:55.920 Supreme Court is the one who leaked this, and which I think it's almost certain that it was a clerk who
00:42:05.680 communicated with this person over at Politico whether or not an actual justice was involved and
00:42:10.540 coordinated this, that I don't know, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
00:42:15.620 But as far as the idea that a conservative did it, first of all, a conservative would not do this
00:42:19.840 to their own people, their own side. And just as a matter of strategy, it has a much greater chance
00:42:26.800 of backfiring than actually working out. Because now you're, what's the idea here? You have,
00:42:34.240 you've got five in the majority, they're going to overturn Roe, and then you leak this decision
00:42:39.060 and you know that it's going to lead to harassment and intimidation of those justices. So there's a
00:42:44.160 very good chance you're going to scare one of them away from the decision they would have otherwise
00:42:48.360 made. So I don't think a conservative would do this to their own side. It also doesn't make any
00:42:53.520 sense from a strategic standpoint. And then, and then the biggest thing here, and the number one
00:42:57.500 reason why we know it wasn't a conservative who did this, is that it was leaked to Politico.
00:43:02.980 Okay, a conservative leaking to Politico, they might as well leak to the Huffington Post or like the
00:43:07.120 feminist blog Jezebel. It's the same kind of thing. That's how you know, they would not,
00:43:12.300 they would not be leaking this to Politico. They wouldn't entrust their anonymity to some leftist
00:43:19.440 over at Politico. Because by doing this, you know, you're putting your career on the line at the very
00:43:24.260 least. You might be putting your freedom on the line if you get criminally prosecuted.
00:43:30.020 And a conservative is going to trust Politico to keep that a secret? No way. No way at all.
00:43:37.120 Gergi says, lesbians and post-menopausal women freaking out over abortion law is just beyond
00:43:44.160 ludicrous. Yeah, we talked about that before. That's one of the reasons why it's ridiculous.
00:43:48.520 And that's also what makes, one of the reasons what makes it, that makes it even more repulsive
00:43:52.100 when you see people like Elizabeth Warren panicking over this. Like it doesn't even affect
00:43:57.480 them personally. Because there's no risk of you having a baby. But they just feel so passionate.
00:44:06.440 It's like they hate babies that much. It's not just their own potential babies they hate. It's they
00:44:13.560 just hate babies. And they're filled with rage, at least with the younger feminists. It's all very
00:44:21.040 self-centered. And it's narcissistic. And they're worried that they might be forced, God forbid,
00:44:27.520 to be responsible for their own actions and all of that. But yeah, again, with these older women,
00:44:33.060 that's not the case. For them, it's simply hatred of babies, hatred of human life.
00:44:37.320 This kind of demonic rage that I think animates and motivates them.
00:44:45.120 Malor Dankness says, hey, Matt, just got to know, I have to know where on earth you get your sock
00:44:50.800 subscription. I've been listening to your videos for a while, and I'm finally catching up.
00:44:55.420 Well, some sad news there. My wife recently, I found out, canceled my sock subscription,
00:45:00.500 which is reason enough, really. Maybe that should be a daily cancellation at some point.
00:45:05.820 It was a company called Southern Scholar, and they sell socks for gentlemen, which I am one. That's
00:45:11.980 how they advertise themselves. And this is not a paid promotion at all. But if you're a sock
00:45:16.780 enthusiast like I am, then I'd definitely check them out and get your sock subscription.
00:45:21.380 You know, the Daily Wire has accomplished a lot this year, including an announcement of our new
00:45:24.760 platform, DW Kids. We're taking on Disney, Hollywood, even Razor companies, and rebuilding the
00:45:30.280 culture that the left has been handily destroying because it's about time we do something.
00:45:34.480 So you can as well. Stop giving money to organizations that don't respect you or your
00:45:38.980 values. Help us build alternatives where the left is tearing down foundations. We're building
00:45:43.300 things. They're tearing things down. That's the way that goes. And you can start today. Head to

00:45:52.980 real American values today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:45:56.400 Unfortunately, we have to deal with a heavy topic for the daily cancellation today. It's heavy,
00:46:04.860 but it's also a big topic and one that can be difficult to fully kind of wrap your arms around.
00:46:10.720 Here's the story from the Daily Mail. They report that a morbidly obese traveler, quote,
00:46:14.700 has divided opinion after sharing a viral TikTok slamming Ryanair for the size of its seats,
00:46:19.720 with some critics telling her it was not the airline's fault. Now, it's basically a monthly
00:46:24.160 tradition at this point that a fat airline passenger complains on TikTok about the fact
00:46:28.160 that planes are not being redesigned to specifically accommodate their hefty frame.
00:46:32.860 This is right in line with those other complaints. The Daily Mail continues,
00:46:36.180 Kirstie Leanne, Kirstie Leanne 29 from Shropshire filmed the clip while flying with the budget carrier,
00:46:42.580 revealing how she struggled to fit down the plane's narrow aisle, couldn't use the tray table
00:46:46.500 due to lack of space, and could barely move in the tiny toilet cubicle. Kirstie, who blogs about
00:46:51.540 her experiences traveling as a size 24 to 26, wanted to highlight issues she encounters to others.
00:46:57.420 Recalling the problematic flight, Kirstie explained,
00:46:59.720 the first issue I faced was walking down the plane aisle. I was one of the last people on the plane
00:47:03.720 because I was running a little late, so I felt the stares of people. All I could think was that
00:47:07.580 they didn't want me to sit next to them. The plus-size blogger also revealed how she was unable
00:47:11.960 to do work because she didn't have space to use the tray table. She said, I was going to use the tray
00:47:15.940 table to do some work on the way, but when I couldn't put it down, I quickly decided that it was not
00:47:19.560 going to happen. Meanwhile, she continued, the bathroom was another issue I faced. Unfortunately,
00:47:23.040 it's probably one of the smallest bathrooms I've ever seen, and I decided against trying to squeeze
00:47:27.320 in. She continues with this horror story in greater detail, but you probably get the gist.
00:47:32.380 Apparently, Kirstie does this for a living, or at least as a hobby. She travels around and complains
00:47:37.300 when she's too fat to do certain things. According to her TikTok account, her mission is to push for
00:47:43.820 greater plus-sized representation in the travel industry. Although you could argue that plus-sized people
00:47:49.280 already have a very large representation. Now, we've talked plenty of times in the past about
00:47:54.740 the so-called body positivity movement, which encourages people to display their positive
00:47:58.620 attitudes about their bodies by destroying their bodies. This is what makes body positivity one of
00:48:03.280 the most self-contradictory and also destructive ideas to come along in quite some time. And it manages
00:48:08.520 to stand out even amid all the other self-contradictory and destructive ideas that are so popular these
00:48:12.820 days. But we're not going to dwell specifically on that aspect of it. We're also going to leave aside
00:48:18.300 the point that, if I'm being honest, part of me actually hopes that the obese community gets their
00:48:22.220 way, plays the victim card successfully, and forces planes to better accommodate them. Because the end
00:48:27.780 result is that we would all get bigger seats and more legroom, I guess, which would be kind of nice.
00:48:32.000 Of course, that's assuming that the concession doesn't involve setting aside a special area on
00:48:36.080 the plane just for fat people, where only they get the extra room. Maybe first class will be abolished
00:48:41.700 and replaced with fat class. Fat people will be rewarded with, you know, premium first class seats,
00:48:46.540 and even better, the first class food. So come to think of it, that's actually probably exactly what
00:48:50.920 would end up happening. So I take back what I said a moment ago. Anyway, I want to turn our
00:48:54.960 attention to another aspect of this situation, which lies a little deeper. And you can only see it when
00:48:59.800 you sort of trim the fat away. No pun intended, of course. I'm not the kind of person who would bring
00:49:05.660 up this discussion as nothing more than a vehicle to make fat puns. That's not who I am. Instead,
00:49:10.960 I'm struck by the important truth about human nature that this story and stories like it
00:49:16.320 illustrate for us. After all, the fat acceptance movement is supposed to be all about freedom,
00:49:22.620 right? People should be free to be whatever size they want. And the world's job is to accommodate
00:49:27.780 their girth, however gargantuan it might be. But as always, our culture promotes a kind of freedom,
00:49:35.160 which is really, in the end, slavery. When you do whatever you want, you exercise no self-control,
00:49:42.180 you exercise not at all in general, and simply follow the whims of the flesh, you end up trapped
00:49:49.280 in a nightmare of your own making. This woman is so free that she can't even fit on a plane. She's
00:49:54.620 so free that she can't fully participate in society. She's so free that she's probably going
00:49:58.280 to die before she reaches the age of 60. This is the freedom of the modern world, the freedom that
00:50:03.540 makes you a slave to your compulsions, the freedom that leads ultimately to annihilation.
00:50:09.120 And fat acceptance is just one example. There are many others, often quite a bit more serious. How
00:50:12.800 about, to return to the topic of the day, the freedom granted to women to kill their unborn
00:50:18.220 children. This is a freedom that deprives you of something good and true and fulfilling.
00:50:24.100 It deprives a woman of herself in many ways. It deprives her of the opportunity to be
00:50:28.480 transformed by the love for and from her child. It robs her of everything, consigns her to a life
00:50:36.160 of regret and loss and guilt. And then we call it freedom. Dostoevsky noticed this about the modern
00:50:44.340 world way back in the 1800s when he wrote The Brothers Karamazov, which includes this passage.
00:50:48.920 He writes,
00:50:50.540 The world has proclaimed the reign of freedom, especially of late. But what do we see in this
00:50:55.320 freedom of theirs? Nothing but slavery and self-destruction. For the world says, you have
00:51:00.740 desires and so satisfy them. For you have the same rights as the most rich and powerful. Don't be
00:51:05.540 afraid of satisfying them and even multiplying your desires. That is the modern doctrine of the world,
00:51:10.680 in that they see freedom. And what follows from this right of multiplication of desire,
00:51:15.700 in the rich, isolation and spiritual suicide, in the poor, envy and murder. For they have been
00:51:21.420 given rights, but have not been shown the means of satisfying their wants. They maintain that the
00:51:26.460 world is getting more and more united, more and more bound together in brotherly community,
00:51:30.380 as it overcomes distance and sets thoughts flying through the air. But put no faith in such a bond of
00:51:35.760 union. Interpreting freedom as the multiplication and rapid satisfaction of desire, men distort their own
00:51:41.460 nature. For many senseless and foolish desires and habits and ridiculous fancies are fostered in
00:51:47.320 them. Now, Dostoevsky noticed this about Western culture as he observed it from Russia in the year
00:51:53.540 1880. And he couldn't have known just how right he was. There's probably never been a better definition of the
00:52:00.440 modern conception of freedom than the one that he offers right there. Freedom is the multiplication and
00:52:05.420 satisfaction of desire. But that's not freedom at all. It is, as he points out, isolation, envy, hatred,
00:52:12.680 suicide. That's what this kind of freedom gets you. You aren't even free to walk down the aisle of a passenger
00:52:19.880 plane. You're left hampered, disabled, helpless, screaming out like a child, demanding that the world conform
00:52:26.160 itself to you. You're not going to find any freedom in such a life. But you will find, when it comes down to it,
00:52:34.300 that you are ultimately, at the end of the day, canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
