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

So the popular wisdom that's formed around the leak of the Roe v. Wade decision,
a leak that Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed as authentic yesterday, no surprise,
is that overturning Roe would actually help the Democrats ultimately by galvanizing their
base before the midterms. It's pointed out that according to most polling data,
a majority of Americans do not want Roe overturned, supposedly.
But it's always a precarious thing, I think, to trust popular wisdom in a society so bereft of wisdom.
Popular wisdom is simply the wisdom of the unwise.
And that's certainly the case here.
First of all, of course, even if it happened to be true that overturning Roe and abolishing the mythical
constitutional right to abortion would help Democrats, it would still be worth doing.
I mean, even if overturning Roe would tear our country into and precipitate a civil war,
It would still be worth doing. In fact, some might argue that the latter scenario would be an added
benefit of overturning it. Some might argue that anyway. I'm just saying some people might think that.
The point is that the first and most fundamental priority is to save the lives of innocent children.
There is no cost too heavy to pay. Literally no cost. I would accept any consequence at all
if it meant rescuing even one child from the hands of the butchers. But as it happens, it is not true
that overturning Roe will help the Democrats.
It's not true because, for one thing, if Democrat voters are galvanized, they're not going to be the only ones.
This pushes the abortion issue back down to the states, which means that Republican voters will finally now have the power to elect people who can fully outlaw abortion in their states.
This is an inability of power that pro-life voters have, most anyway, have never had.
The Roe decision by design took the power out of the hands of pro-life voters.
and that was the whole point.
How could putting power back into their hands be somehow, what, demoralizing or only galvanizing
to people on the opposite side of the issue?
That makes no sense.
But there's another reason why this turn of events will not help the Democrats, despite the popular
wisdom.
If this issue is still at the top of the stack by the time the midterms roll around, and that's a big if,
because there's a better than 50% chance that the whole issue will be 300 news cycles in the
passed by then and nobody will be talking about it anymore because no one can talk about anything
or focus on anything for more than, you know, 30 seconds at a time. But if it's still somehow
above the fold at that point, that will not actually be a good thing for the Democrats, because
that means that Democrat politicians within close proximity of an election will have to talk
about abortion. And they don't actually want to talk about abortion. That's the dirty little
secret here. They want their voters to be motivated by the fear of, quote, unquote, anti-choice
Republicans trying to take their, quote, bodily autonomy away, but they want to stoke this fear
in very generalized and very vague sorts of ways. They don't want to actually talk about abortion
itself. They certainly don't want to get into the nitty-gritty of what they really believe on this
issue, because when they do, it quickly becomes apparent that their views on the subject
fall into two categories and only two categories, and usually both at once.
One, incoherence, and two, barbaric.
The entire Democrat strategy with respect to abortion is built around the effort to make sure
that voters don't notice these two facts.
And that means being very circumspect about abortion and not dwelling on the issue for
very long.
The polls may indicate that most Americans quote-unquote support abortion, but that's only
because a rather support Roe, that's what the polls indicate, that they support Roe.
But that's only because most Americans don't understand Roe or what it actually entails,
which isn't fully their fault.
I mean, they've got the entire media apparatus, which is trying to confuse them about it.
A majority of those same Americans also supports sweeping restrictions on abortions,
whereas Roe was designed to eliminate those restrictions.
There is an incoherence to the average Americans' view on the subject,
and that's what Democrats want to maintain, as always.
They don't necessarily need or want you to agree with their views.
they just want you to be confused.
Now, agreeing with them is great if they can get it,
but if they can't get it, then they'll take confusion.
That's a fine runner-up prize as far as they're concerned.
Once abortion becomes the topic of conversation, as it is right now,
for however long that remains the case,
the barbarism and incoherence of the left-wing position comes to the forefront.
One of the best, I think, most famous, most infamous examples of this happened back in
2019, when Virginia Democrats were pushing for a bill that would legalize abortion through every
phase of pregnancy up until birth. And lots of other states have bills like this on the books now.
In exchange in the Virginia House of Delegates between Republican delegate Todd Gilbert and Democrat
delegate Kathy Tran, I think, illustrates the problem for Democrats. When they're put on the
spot and they're forced to actually explain their real position on the subject, they're exposed
as the incomprehensible monsters that they truly are.
So let's go back and watch that again to refresh our memories.
And this again is why Democrats do not actually want to talk about this
and especially don't want to talk about it
when they're headed into an election. Watch this.
Delegate Tran.
Yes, sir.
How late in a pregnancy would your bill apply
if a physician would simply willing to certify
that the continuation of the pregnancy
would impair the mental health of the woman?
How late are we talking about?
So the way the suggestion that we've made in the bill is to say it's in the third trimester
and with the certification of the physician.
So how late in the third trimester would you be able to do that?
You know, it's very unfortunate that our physicians' witnesses were not able to attend today to speak specifically.
No, I'm talking about your bill.
How late in the third trimester could a physician perform an abortion?
if he indicated it would impair the mental health of the woman?
Or physical health.
Okay.
I'm talking about the mental health.
So, I mean, through the third trimester,
the third trimester goes all the way up to 40 weeks.
Okay.
But to the end of the third trimester?
Yep, I don't think we have a limit in the bill.
So where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth,
she has physical signs that she is about to give a birth,
would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion
if she was so certified.
She's dilating.
Mr. Chairman, that would be a, you know, a decision that the doctor, the physician, and the woman would make at that point.
I'm asking if your bill allows that.
My bill would allow that, yes.
So this was her bill, but she didn't want to talk about it.
This issue that's supposedly, what, good for the left, the Democrats, and it's going to motivate their voters, and they don't want to talk about it.
She don't want to talk about the fact that, yes, it would have made it legal to kill a fully developed infant child in the womb, seconds before birth.
She also didn't want to talk about the fact that when Democrats say that abortion might be necessary to protect the health of the mother, that also includes mental health.
That's really what they mean is if a woman says that her mental health will suffer because she'll be sad about having a baby.
Well, that's an example.
If she gets an abortion in that case, well, that's also an example of abortion saving the life of the mother.
These are the kinds of ugly realities that come out whenever the nation's attention is focused on this issue.
Democrats are simply not able to speak for more than one or two sentences about abortion without devolving into savagery and nonsense.
And that's certainly been the case of the last two days as well.
Let's look at a few examples.
And speaking of not being able to speak for more than one or two sentences,
let's start with President Biden,
giving his take on the Supreme Court's draft decision.
And I want you to listen to the words that he uses.
So the idea that we're going to make a judgment that is going to say that
no one can make the judgment to choose to abort a child based on a decision by the Supreme Court.
I think goes way overboard.
abort a child, he says.
The Democrat position on this subject is so horrifying that just simply hearing someone say it out loud, abort a child, makes your hair stand on end.
You also see there how much it pains Biden to be talking about this at all.
He spends most of his answer filibustering, you know, treading water, trying to avoid even saying the word abort.
The idea that we're going to make a judgment that is going to say that no one can make the judgment to choose to
abort a child.
Now, granted, Biden's brain is just a bowl of grits at this point,
but this is pretty standard for the left when it comes to this issue.
Case in point, another case in point anyway,
listen to Whoopi Goldberg on the view yesterday.
Listen to this.
This is my body, and nobody.
You know, you got people telling me I got to wear a mask or don't wear a mask or do this.
Everybody wants to tell me what to do.
But you won't let me make my decision about my body.
are not the person to make that decision. My doctor and myself and my child, that's who makes
the decision. And one of the things I really want to point out before we go is the reason
abortion came about. Women in this country lived forever with it being illegal.
Okay? Women, when they decide something is not right for them, they're going to take it into
their own hands. Well, we got tired of tripping over women in bathrooms, public bathrooms,
who were giving themselves abortions because there was nowhere safe, nowhere clean, nowhere to
go. This law came about because people wanted people to have somewhere safe and somewhere
clean. It has nothing to do with your religion. This is not a religious issue. This is a human
issue. If you care about me as a human being, you should
know three things. Getting an abortion is not easy. Making that decision is not easy.
So we have to stop it there, even though she has two other things on her list. There's already
too much nonsense to sort through. That was 78 seconds. So she had 78 seconds to talk about abortion
and she couldn't get through it without venturing repeatedly into the realm of horrifying nonsense.
First, she says that an abortion is a decision that should be left up to myself, my doctor,
and my child.
So what?
The child consents to the abortion now?
This is consensual butchery.
Are we pretending that the child is consulted
and agrees to have its body torn apart, limb from limb?
That was 28 seconds, and from there she claims that before Roe,
you couldn't go into a women's restroom
without tripping over women laying all over the floor
giving themselves abortions with coat hangers.
That's what she wants us to believe.
And now that she's in the realm of the hallucinatory,
She actually points to something that's true. She says that getting an abortion is not easy.
That again, that's true. I mean, it comes at a great cost. Women suffer immensely before,
during, and after their abortions. But why, whoopee, why isn't it easy? Why do women suffer so
much from their abortions if abortion simply extracts a blob of lifeless, meaningless tissue?
Why?
Why would it be so painful?
Why isn't it easy?
You know, if you have a wart on your skin or something
and you go and get that blob of tissue removed,
that's pretty easy.
Nobody will be talking about the emotional trauma involved there.
Lots of places can expose you to identity theft.
Oh, no.

So why is it hard?
She doesn't want to answer that.
She can't.
She can't talk about it beyond the blathering nonsense you just heard.
And yet it helps Democrats when abortion is the number one issue, this thing that they can't talk about.
And when it comes to disturbing gibberish that we hear from the left about abortion, we certainly cannot neglect to acknowledge this moment on MSNBC yesterday.
Here's Yomish Alcindor, alleged journalist, giving her perspective.
Listen to this.
You'll always be able to get an abortion because she'll be able to fly to one of what they're calling the 13 safe states, places that might continue to have abortion like California or New York.
but for a lot of vulnerable women, women who are poor, women are women of color,
they will be forced to have pregnancies that they cannot afford to terminate in pregnancies
that will then turn into children.
Forced to have pregnancies that turn into children.
Forced to have pregnancies that turn into children.
What were they before they turned into children?
Were they turtles before that, kangaroos, space aliens?
What was the woman pregnant with before the point when the pregnancy,
turned into a child. This of course makes no sense whatsoever, and only the most oblivious Americans
could fail to notice how nonsensical it is. And here we're only focusing on the turn into a child bit.
But the part right before that is just as stupid. She says, I'm forced to have pregnancies.
Who's forcing women to have pregnancies? Less than 1% of abortions are due to rape. And those
statistics, by the way, are from like the Gutmacher Institute pro-abortion.
groups, give us those statistics. So we can be pretty sure that the actual number is smaller than
even what they tell us. Let's just go with 1% for the sake of argument. For the other 99 plus percent,
these are women who get pregnant after choosing to participate in the reproductive act. They did a thing
through their own free will and volition, which has literally billions of times in the past resulted in
pregnancy. They chose to participate in this activity. In the 99% of cases, nobody forced anything.
So who forced them to be pregnant? Nature, God, who's the culprit here? What are you talking about?
Abortion doesn't turn back the clock or undo what's been done. Abortion doesn't erase the pregnancy.
One way or another, if a woman is pregnant, eventually the pregnancy must come to an end. It can end naturally.
usually through the birth of a child, or it can be ended through violence.
Violence against another living being.
Our position as pro-lifers is that once a woman becomes pregnant, it is not acceptable
to commit violence against the living being in the womb, no matter how she feels about the pregnancy.
That's our position, and it's clear.
We're not ashamed of it.
We'll say it out loud, clearly.
We don't need recourse to euphemism.
The left hides behind euphemism and code words,
gibberish because they're terrified to let you see the hideous truth at the core of their position.
And that's why already many of them are changing the subject, changing it in quite desperate and
hilarious ways. Here's Eric Swalwell, congressman and infamous public farder, tweeting, he says,
the Republicans won't stop with banning abortion. They want to ban interracial marriage.
Do you want to save that? Well, then you should probably vote.
ban interracial marriage? What? How did that get introduced into the conversation?
And what Republican has advocated banning interracial marriage? I want to know which Republican
has stood on the floor of the Senate or the House of Representatives and said that we need to ban
interracial marriage? And how have we not heard about that if that happened?
one of the conservative justices on the court, Clarence Thomas, is in an interracial marriage.
Does he want to ban his own marriage?
What is he babbling about?
Well, he's just trying to change the subject because he wants to talk about any subject
other than the subject at hand.
And don't be fooled.
That's what they all want.
Now let's get to our five headlines.
You know, identity theft may sound complicated, and maybe it sounds like something you don't have to
worry about. But in some cases, all a thief needs to carry out a shopping scam is your name,
mailing address, email address, and phone number. And it's not hard for them to get those details.
And with those details, they can start an online store account, but add their own shipping info.
Then they purchase items on accounts without your knowledge, leaving you only with collections
notices. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.
This is just one of the ways of many. Every day, we put our information at risk on the internet
in an instant. A cyber criminal could steal what's yours. Sometimes even harm your finances, your
credit, your reputation, your whole life, basically. Good thing, there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps
detect a wide range of identity threats like your Social Security number for sale in the
dark web. If they detect your information as potentially would compromise, they'll send you
an alert, and you also have access to a dedicated restoration specialist if you become a victim.
So you have on both ends, you have protection. Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor

By the way, I also wanted to mention that, like I said, the Opie Goldberg clip,
there's just so much, it's hard to sift through everything and point to every part of,
every little piece of it that was incorrect or false or, you know, fallacious.
But one other point worth making here is that she says, oh, this is not about religion.
Don't bring your religion into it.
And of course, every time abortion comes up, this is what we hear from the left.
Don't bring religion.
Oh, get your religion out of my uterus and so on and so forth.
But you notice something?
They are always the ones who bring religion into it.
They bring religion into it by telling us to keep religion out of it.
But most of us, we're not talking about religion.
Now, it's true that if you are a Christian,
it's not possible actually to be a Christian and be pro-abortion. That's true. Because our faith
absolutely forbids murdering innocent people, including and especially children. But that's,
we don't, the argument against abortion is universal and simple. We don't need to make it into
a theological conversation. And we're not the ones who do that.
In fact, the left, they're the ones who bring up religion in two ways.
They bring it up by telling us to keep religion out of it.
And actually, ironically here, if anyone in the abortion conversation is going to bring up religion to justify their position, it's almost always the left.
That's where you hear Joe Biden and all these alleged pro-abortion Catholics saying, my religion calls me to, they're the ones who do that.
And why do they do it?
It's because, again, they're just scrambling to say anything, do anything to put as much.
distance as they can in between the issue and themselves.
And they want to put distance between the issue and the conversation.
And so if they can make the conversation about religion, they'll do that.
If they can make it about interracial marriage, they'll do that.
If they can make it about gay marriage, which is another thing we're seeing from the left.
Next, they're going to go after gay marriage.
Anything they can do to put distance, they're going to do that.
A couple of the clips I want to play here.
Kamala Harris spoke out yesterday and here she is doing her best impression of a normal human being
and who's she's trying to sort of pretend to be angry.
She's trying to generate feelings of anger and let's see how she does.
Women would lose access to abortion immediately and outright.
Those Republican leaders who are trying to weaponize,
the use of the law against women,
what we say,
how dare they?
How dare they tell a woman
what she can do and cannot do with her own body?
How dare they?
Stop her from determining her own future.
Try to deny women and their freedoms.
Just more transphobia from the left.
And we have to keep pointing this out.
We have to keep putting it out because we can't let them get away with this.
They're going to try to do it.
They are doing it right now, but we can't just let them get away with it.
There are many reasons why everything she said there is wrong and stupid and dishonest.
But also, you can't do this anymore, Kamala.
That's out the window for you.
You're not a lot.
This is not, you can't do it.
You've ruled this out.
You've given this up.
This whole thing about, this attack.
on women. That's out the window because women don't exist, according to you. According to your
world, your worldview has erased women from existence. They're gone, according to you. Now, where does
that leave you as a woman? I don't know. You're just some sort of like phantom walking the earth.
I don't know. I mean, I can't make sense of it. It's your worldview, not mine. In my worldview,
women certainly exist, but in yours, they don't. So you can't do this. I'm not going to allow it.
We can't allow it. That's why on the right, we should not engage with us.
attack on women, we should not engage with that claim beyond simply asking what's a woman,
what are you talking about? Again, there are many other ways we could engage with it,
but we shouldn't. Instead, it's just, I don't even know what you're saying. What in the
world are you talking about? How could this be an attack on women? Are you suggesting that
women have some particular special capacity to give birth? Or, are you suggesting that women have some particular special
capacity to give birth, to bring new life into the world? Are you suggesting that this is a unique,
special aspect of womanhood? What a transphobic, horrendous thing to say. We got the same routine
from Elizabeth Warren, who was also pretending to be upset. Let's play clip 14. Somebody get grandmother
over to a home. She's losing her mind. I mean, there's something especially, especially,
just repulsive in particular about, well, about all, you know, the entire pro-abortion side,
but in particular, these old bitter boomer feminists who are reaching, you know, the end of their,
the end of their days. I mean, they're in certainly the latter part of their lives. And they have
already overseen people like Elizabeth Warren, who's in her 90s or something, whatever she is,
they've already overseen the slaughter, the mass slaughter of 60 million babies, and they're not
satisfied. I mean, their bloodlust has not been quenched. They want even more babies to be killed.
I mean, just imagine being, you're a grandmother, and you're angry, you're screeching. I mean,
she sounds like some creature that you hear in the woods at night, especially around here in Tennessee.
I go take the garbage out, and we're surrounded by woods and you just hear all these sounds.
it's like Elizabeth Warren must be in the woods.
So what she sounds like.
She has reduced to this guttural howling and screeching,
this demonic hysteria.
She reminds me of that either a creature in the woods a night
or maybe better yet, the scene and the passion of the Christ,
after, you know, when you see after Christ conquers death
and the resurrection and then we cut to a scene of saving.
Satan just howling in hell.
And that's what she reminds me of.
And this is what they're, they're grandmothers, and this is what they're doing.
You barely even, they've just, you're looking at someone who was forfeited her humanity,
a soulless husk.
Pretty disturbing.
All right.
Let's move to this.
This is from the Daily Wire.
More disturbing news for you, if you wanted some more.
The highest ranking transgender person in the Biden administration, who was also a pediatrician,
claimed there is no argument among medical professionals about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care.
This is speaking to the National Public Radio. Admiral Rachel Levine, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health,
used the opportunity to attack Florida Surging General Joseph Lodapo, an ally of Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis.
Levine accused Ladovpo of putting out a statement based upon political considerations that is not appropriate.
Lodopo had released a fact sheet on April 20th that stated it would clarify,
evidence recently cited on a fact sheet released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
And now the Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine, and he's coming out and saying not just that
it's acceptable to perform chemical castration on children and to sterilize children, but actually
that there's no argument about it whatsoever. And the response I've heard from the right
to this is that, well, that's absurd. That's ridiculous. Of course, there's arguments with
within the medical community about this.
But actually, Rachel Levine in this case is more right than we would like to think.
Not right about it being acceptable or okay to do that to kids.
Obviously, that's child abuse.
That's, I mean, worse than child abuse.
And everybody involved should go to prison forever.
But in terms of the medical community, the medical industry,
there is now almost unanimous agreement
because they've pushed all the dissenting voices out.
And whatever descending voices could still remain within that community
have mostly been silenced or they have silenced themselves out of fear and cowardice.
I mean, remember, I have to keep emphasizing this because I just,
I feel like we're not focusing on it quite enough.
It was the American Academy of Pediatrics last week.
that put out that book promoting, you know, a book for kids, which was charting on the children's
bestseller list below my own book, by the way. My book was, actually, we just found out from
Amazon side note that's, according to Amazon charts, Johnny the Walrus was the number one book
in the entire country last week. So that was good news. And this disgusting book for the American Academy
Pediatrics was below that, but even so, American Academy of Pediatrics that was their
book promoting puberty blockers, chemical castration, sterilization for kids.
Okay. And that's as, in terms of the medical community, that's as mainstream as you can
possibly get. And so when Rachel Levine claims, when he says that there's no argument
to that, you know, within, within the medical community, it is a, it is a shame and an outrage
that that is almost, almost true. There are exceptions.
but they are few and far between.
Which does not at all, even a little bit,
serve to legitimize this kind of butchery that's done to children.
And the drugging of children doesn't serve to legitimize it.
What it does, unfortunately,
is serve to further delegitimize the medical industry.
They have delegitimize themselves
by putting politics and putting ideology
and also putting their own professional advancement above their oath to do no harm,
you know, to treat not to harm.
They've put politics, ideology, personal advancement above all of that, far above it.
Whereas the actual, what is supposed to be the actual purpose of medicine is now,
it's not even an afterthought in many of these cases.
And especially when it comes to gender confused children.
It's not an afterthought.
the idea of actually helping these kids and treating whatever ails them.
And most of the time, what's ailing them, it's a mental thing.
And it's not even a mental illness.
It's just confusion and understandable confusion given the environment they're in.
And so treating them doesn't require drugs.
It wouldn't even require intense therapy in many of these cases.
It's just sitting them down and telling them the truth and explaining it.
But no, that's not an afterthought.
It's just that's not a thought at all.
That's not anywhere on the radar.
They're not going to do that for these kids.
Let's see what else we got here.
From the Daily Wire, Lil Nas X has been criticized for promoting his songs to a young audience
and then releasing music that's only suitable for adults.
The 23-year-old rapper whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill
insisted that he was free to change his target audience whenever he wants.
Now he's back to targeting the kids' music market by inviting The Wiggles to go on tour with him.
He shared on Twitter last week trying really hard to get the Wiggles to co-headlines
the tour with me. I'll keep you guys updated. And I actually found out about this last week
before the early why I reported on it because my wife, you know, has been historically a big
fan of the Wiggles, and she has inflicted that on me over the course of, you know, the last eight
years with each successive kids. She's tried to indoctrinate them into the Wiggles. And so I've got
the songs about fruit salad and big red card and all this kind of stuff. I have to endure and
listen to in the car and everything. And she saw this one was very upset. I don't know if the Wiggles
have accepted this invitation or not. But this only goes to show this little Nas X guy.
You want to talk about groomers and predators in Hollywood and in the music industry?
He's like predator groomer number one. He's blatant about it and completely unapologetic.
A lot of the other groomers and predators, they at least pretend to be offended when you accuse them of that.
They pretend that they're doing something else.
Oh, we're not doing that.
For him, it's out in the open.
I mean, he came onto the scene trying to cultivate a fan base of not just kids, but very young kids, like elementary school-aged kids.
He went and performed at elementary schools.
And he was on Nickelode and all this kind of stuff.
and then he went immediately from that to giving a lap dance to Satan,
right to there.
And then people that want to defend him, his defender said,
well, he's just, he's free to make that kind of transition.
He's free to make the transition from singing elementary schools to lap dancing on Satan.
And this is just, it's a, it's the evolution of his career.
Yeah, except now.
he's circling back around and trying to recruit this children's musical group to perform with him on stage.
So this is very much out in the open attempt to sexualize, groom, prey upon kids.
One of the quick thing I want to mention this for the Washington Examiner says,
White House officials are letting it be known that they desire Twitter to invite back former President Donald Trump.
Conflicting with earlier reports, the occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue are reportedly warming up to the
idea that President Joe Biden might benefit if Elon Musk should his $44 billion takeover
Twitter be finalized, immediately reverses the ban on Biden's 2020 rival.
Beyond casting the Republican Party as a hostage to right-wing extremists, the other thing
White House officials are cheering for, a number of them said over the weekend, that if Elon
Musk indeed takes over Twitter, they hope the first thing he does is put Donald Trump back on
it. And the reason they want Donald Trump back on Twitter is because the president.
They think it works to their advantage to have, you know, to have this kind of immediate access to Donald Trump's stream of consciousness.
They think it works. They think that his tweeting works to their advantage and they want him back on Twitter.
And I've been saying this from day one that they pretended they wanted Trump off at Twitter, but they never actually wanted that and they do want him back on because it works more to their benefit to have money.
Now, this reveals that, of course, once again, that everything they say is fake and not true.
and they're just pretending because, you know, everything they say, oh, Donald Trump is dangerous,
we can't have his rhetoric. No, they want it out there because they think it benefits them.
So it goes to show that, but it also shows how, you know, and I actually agree with them that I think
Trump back on Twitter benefits Democrats more than it benefits Republicans. I know there are a lot of
Republicans and conservatives cheering for it. They want Trump back on Twitter. I think he should be
allowed back on Twitter. I think the idea that the sitting president of the United States was
ever kicked off a Twitter in the first place is just utter madness. And even now as a former president,
it's still madness. But as of right now, Trump says that if he's allowed back on, he's not going to,
he's not going to accept the invitation because he wants to use his platform, truth, social.
And I hope that he sticks with that. Because I think ultimately it just, what it means, it means a lot of things,
but mainly it means that if you got Trump on Twitter, tweeting all the time,
it means that the Democrats, any time they want, can just take one of his tweets and make that the story.
Anytime they want to distract from something, and we saw this through four years, five years.
Anytime they wanted to distract from something, there was a new cycle that wasn't going their way.
Just take one of his tweets, and he always had, there was always a stream of new tweets that they could choose from.
say their pick of the litter, take one, and that's the story. Oh, look at this mean thing he tweeted.
Now, I think they got diminishing returns on that from a PR perspective, but even so,
it's a say it is still a diversion mechanism for them that works in their favor.
If you've been listening to my show for a while, you're probably familiar with one of our top sponsors
who are very happy and proud to have on the show, Rock Auto.
Well, recently my producer McKenna told me about her own experience shopping with Rock Auto,
how great it was for her.
And it's such a great story.
We're going to tell it to you again.
McKenna was carpooling with her boyfriend during an ice storm and turned on his windshield wipers
before he got in the car to help get rid of the ice.
But with this simple act, she destroyed her windshield wipers.
And they had the drive in the rain with wipers that barely could wipe the rain away.
During the drive to work, she figured it was worth checking rock auto.com to see if they
had replacement options for the windshield wipers.
And sure enough, she was able to buy some new windshield wipers for the car that are made to deal with ice and for a surprisingly reasonable price.
So if you're like McKenna, I need a quick fix or if you need to do some major repairs, you should check out rockado.com. Once you go to rock auto.com, a list will guide you through every single make and model you can possibly imagine. All you have to do is quickly finds your car and Rock Auto will give you a list of every part available for your vehicle. Included with the part descriptions are photos and specs so you can feel confident you're choosing the correct parts. So go to rockato.com for your auto part needs today and write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box so they know that I'm the one that sent you. That's rock auto.com for your auto part needs.
today.
All right, let's get now to the comment section.
Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
Who's to play, baby gang?
Here's a message from Stephen L. who says,
I find it hilarious that conservatives whined about doxing libs of TikTok, but now want to
dox the Supreme Court leaker.
Yeah, well, that's not even close to the same thing at all.
libs of ticot was a twitter account an honest twitter account that posted
ticot videos on twitter that's what libs of ticot was is um and posted other things too
but primarily that's what we call lives of ticot the person who leaked supreme court documents
that is somebody who works within the supreme court who's taking these what are right now
confidential documents, putting them out in public, in an unprecedented historic move in order
to intimidate Supreme Court justices and influence the outcome of a Supreme Court case.
Okay, so this is two completely different things.
In the case of, like, it's not newsworthy.
Nobody needs to know the identity of the person who's posting TikTok videos on Twitter.
It is very newsworthy, the identity of the person working within the Supreme Court, whoever it is,
who's trying to influence Supreme Court decisions and intimidate Supreme Court justice by leaking these documents.
Very newsworthy. And it's more than newsworthy. It's relevant to law enforcement. I mean,
this is someone who needs to be flushed out and at least fired, and I think also prosecuted.
So you're really reaching there, I've got to say.
says, Matt, what about the theory that a conservative leaked the decision in order to stop one of the five in the majority from defecting, basically locking them into place? Yeah, I don't buy that at all. First of all, a conservative, if we're talking about a clerk here, which I guess this is the assumption is that some clerk in the Supreme Court is the one who leaked this, and which I think it's almost certain that it was a clerk who communicated with this person over at Politico, whether or not
an actual justice was involved and coordinated this, that I don't know, and I wouldn't be surprised
if that was the case. But as far as the idea that a conservative did it, first of all, a conservative
would not do this to their own people, their own side. And just as a matter of strategy,
it has a much greater chance of backfiring than actually working out. Because now you're,
what's the idea here? You have, you've got five in the majority. They're going to overturn Roe.
and then you leak this decision
and you know that it's going to lead to harassment and intimidation of those justice.
So there's a very good chance you're going to scare one of them away
from the decision they would have otherwise made.
So I don't think a conservative would do this to their own side.
It also doesn't make any sense from a strategic standpoint.
And then the biggest thing here,
and the number one reason why we know it wasn't a conservative who did this,
is that it was leaked to Politico.
Okay, conservative leaking to Politico.
They might as well leak to the Huffington Post or like the feminist blog
Jezebel. It's the same kind of thing. That's how you know. They would not be leaking this to Politico.
They wouldn't entrust their anonymity to some leftist over Politico. Because by doing this,
you know, you're putting your career on the line at the very least. You might be putting your
freedom on the line if you get criminally prosecuted. And a conservative is going to trust
Politico to keep that a secret? No way. No way at all.
Gergi says lesbians and postmenopausal women freaking out over abortion law is just beyond ludicrous.
Yeah, we talked about that before.
That's one of the reasons why it's ridiculous.
And that's also what makes one of the reasons what makes it, that makes it even more repulsive when you see people like Elizabeth Warren panicking over this.
Like, it doesn't even affect them personally because there's no risk of you having a baby.
But they just feel so passionate.
It's like they hate babies that much.
It's not just their own potential babies they hate.
It's they just hate babies.
And they're filled with rage, at least with the younger feminists,
it's all very self-centered and it's narcissistic.
And they're worried that they might be forced, God forbid,
to be responsible for their own actions and all of that.
But yeah, again, with these older women, that's not the case.
For them, it's simply hatred of babies,
nature of human life, this kind of demonic rage that I think animates and motivates them.
Mallor Denkness says, hey Matt, just got to know, I have to know where on earth you get your
socks subscription.
I've been listening to your videos for a while and I'm finally catching up.
Well, some sad news there.
My wife recently, I found out it canceled my sock subscription, which is reason enough,
really.
Maybe that should be a daily cancellation at some point.
It was a company called Southern Scholar, and they sell socks for gentlemen, which I am one.
That's how they advertise themselves.
And this is not a pay promotion at all.
But if you're a sock enthusiast like I am, then I'd definitely check them out and get your
sock subscription.

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