00:00:34.700 Alex Cooper.

00:00:35.940 Who is Alex Cooper?

00:00:37.800 Alex Cooper, she is 31 years old.

00:00:40.560 She's the host of Call Her Daddy.

00:00:42.660 It is one of the most popular podcasts in the world,

00:00:45.860 especially among young women and girls.

00:00:48.360 Kind of a little, maybe too much in depth here,

00:00:51.020 but she launched this podcast back in 2018

00:00:53.200 with her then roommate, Sophia Franklin.

00:00:55.660 It was with Barstool Sports at the time, so Dave Portnoy. The show very quickly became famous for its extremely explicit and graphic talk about sex and hooking up and dating and relationships. I'm talking think like detailed, like very, very detailed on sexual acts and thinking, you know, encouraging casual sex and her signature message that what feels good is good.

00:01:23.500 Well, she had a very nasty public breakup with her co-host, Sophia Franklin.

00:01:28.260 So she then went solo.

00:01:29.940 She signed a massive $60 million deal with Spotify.

00:01:34.600 And later, after that, I guess ran its course.

00:01:37.220 She signed a $125 million deal with Sirius XM.

00:01:41.620 She's built out the Unwell Network.

00:01:43.640 She interviews huge celebrities, including Kamala Harris.

00:01:46.880 We're going to get to that.

00:01:48.100 She's turned herself into this multi-million dollar media brand, which is impressive.

00:01:52.320 I'll give it to her.

00:01:53.180 I am the first to say, like, not a fan of hers, even Taylor Swift.

00:01:56.780 I can't say I'm a huge Swifty, but I think the brand that these women have built for

00:02:01.340 themselves is impressive.

00:02:03.860 And if you say it's not, then you're either cynical or you're lying.

00:02:06.580 It is impressive.

00:02:07.440 But with that is a cultural grip that is really, really hard to overstate.

00:02:13.100 How is this woman one of the top female podcasters in the country with a deal of $125 million

00:02:21.440 with SiriusXM?

00:02:23.180 what she's peddling. It is not empowerment. It is poison. And I feel like it's time we say it

00:02:28.620 out loud. She built her empire on raw, explicit locker room talk about sex and dating and

00:02:36.480 relationships. She and her original co-host, Sophia Franklin, they turned hookup culture

00:02:42.180 into a sport. I'm talking graphic stories and visuals and explanations about sexual acts and

00:02:49.400 techniques on how to do these sexual acts, such as the infamous, this is really what got her

00:02:53.960 famous, which is like a telltale sign of how rotted our culture is. The infamous Gluck Gluck

00:03:00.720 9000. I honestly feel so uncomfortable even saying that as a fully grown adult, a married grown

00:03:08.060 adult. But I feel uncomfortable because I know the platform that I have. And I know oftentimes

00:03:12.100 it's young women, young girls, high school, college age girls who watch my content. Oh my gosh,

00:03:17.920 I can't imagine unashamedly declaring that to millions and millions and millions of people

00:03:21.840 with her platform. Anyway, she talks about sleeping with professors. She talks about

00:03:26.000 treating intimacy like this casual transaction. But I think the real rot at the core of her message

00:03:34.080 is the hedonistic mantra. What feels good is good. We've got a clip from earlier this week that's

00:03:42.460 been all over the internet. Let's watch it. I've had so many dates where I had great first

00:03:46.740 date kisses and I was like oh my god I'm never calling you but oh who doesn't love a make out

00:03:52.440 like make outs are so fun okay and so kiss them the first date sleep with them the first night

00:03:58.000 like I don't care you have to go based on what feels good to your body and what feels right to

00:04:03.020 you and so if you have some friends that are prudes that are like you should never kiss on

00:04:08.100 the first date you're gonna give them the wrong impression and they're just gonna think you're a

00:04:12.220 okay maybe for you cassandra but i'm about to let him in my back door all night so so women should

00:04:22.300 do literally the exact opposite of everything that she tells you to do i'm sitting here listening to

00:04:28.580 this and like her whole like just do whatever feels good to you have fun it's cool it's fun

00:04:33.600 to swap bodily fluids with total strangers no it's not risky or dangerous or regrettable

00:05:16.700 Don't let them be prudes. And if they try to, they're just a prude. Prove to them that you're

00:05:21.860 strong and independent by letting strangers give you anal. Like what is wrong with you? This message

00:05:30.520 is so harmful. This advice, it is a recipe. It's a recipe for heartbreak and regret and guilt and

00:05:38.920 shame and broken families. Studies in real life stories from women in their 30s, they show what

00:05:45.780 happens when you follow that path. It shows emotional numbness, it shows higher rates of

00:05:50.840 STDs, it shows difficulty forming deep bonds, it shows the painful realization that casual sex

00:05:58.140 doesn't lead to commitment. Yet what Alex Cooper is trying to do here is she's trying to sell this

00:06:05.020 like liberation. Like you feel so free. It feels so great. You have so much fun. And I think we

00:06:11.280 have seen the effects of what happens when young women listen to this message. And that's honestly

00:06:17.240 why she is on top. That is why she is one of the biggest and most listened to female podcasts out

00:06:23.260 there. It's because our culture has normalized this garbage, this harmful garbage. It's the

00:06:30.040 same toxic feminism that turned sex in the city into a blueprint for life, except it's only louder

00:06:36.840 and cruder, and it's aimed straight towards Gen Z and millennials via TikTok clips and her podcast.

00:06:45.020 But you want to know what the ultimate irony is. The ultimate irony, and amidst all this messaging,

00:06:51.540 like hook up with whoever you want, however many people you want, do it, it's fun. The irony is

00:06:56.140 that Alex Cooper herself is now married. She's married to a movie producer whose name is Matt

00:07:02.220 Kaplan. I believe they met in 2020. They got engaged pretty quickly in 2023. They launched

00:07:07.920 this media company together, the Unwell Network. So seems like Alex Cooper, maybe, I don't know.

00:07:14.600 I don't know what her married life looks like, what she does behind closed doors, but it seems

00:07:18.940 as if she traded the wild years for monogamy and a vogue feature. It's like marriage for me,

00:07:25.140 but not for thee. She pursued the tried and true path to human happiness, which is marriage,

00:07:30.560 which is unity with another human being of the opposite sex. It's having children

00:07:34.360 while she peddled singleness and hookups and this man hatred to their female audience. Well,

00:07:41.060 I think she realized that anger sells, but it's not a path to fulfillment or satisfaction or

00:07:47.400 anything of any amount of reward or purpose. But would you be shocked if I told you the woman who

00:07:53.360 taught your daughters how to do the gluck gluck 9000 and sleep with as many men as possible even

00:07:58.300 as early as last week would you be shocked if i told you that her relationship her marriage is a

00:08:04.640 little rocky right now probably not i saw a headline from the new york post it says alex

00:08:10.400 cooper and matt caplan sleeping in separate rooms as marriage tension brews breaking the girl that

00:08:16.520 talks about sleeping with other dudes for a living has a horrible marriage more at noon i hate to say

00:08:21.240 this but because i wish it wasn't true but i think the news of her marriage probably not lasting more

00:08:27.100 than a couple years would be the least surprising thing ever her slogan for a while like one of the

00:08:32.460 quotes that she was recognized by online was cheat or get cheated on uh actually this story the the

00:08:39.800 article released by the post which i think now several other outlets have picked up on actually

00:08:44.680 it's kind of framing her as the victim, which maybe is unsurprising. They have an 11 year age

00:08:50.940 gap. I'm realizing he is 42. She is 31. The article actually talks about how Kaplan, Matt,

00:08:57.780 her husband, allegedly earned a reputation for frequently yelling at staff members. Some

00:09:02.940 employees have reportedly threatened to walk out in the middle of film sets and live tours due to

00:09:07.220 his alleged behavior. I don't know who the source is. It's an anonymous source who's telling all

00:09:12.360 this. But the source, an insider who seems to be close with both Alex Cooper and her husband,

00:09:18.940 the source says that Alex Cooper's biggest fear is bad press. They continued on and saying it's

00:09:23.920 the only thing that matters to her. She wants to control the narrative always. They said she's

00:09:28.000 insecure and cutthroat all in one. She really doesn't have that many friends, which kind of

00:09:33.820 checks out if you've been following the discourse online between Alex Earl and Alex Cooper. The

00:09:39.300 content of their feud or at least what we know about it is incredibly confusing but it's even

00:09:43.480 more confusing that they're both blonde women who just look like young beautiful blonde women named

00:09:52.400 alex although alex earl's name is with an eye alex earl used to work at the unwell brand with alex

00:09:59.120 cooper i don't really know what happened there i think that's a lot of the inconspicuousness

00:10:03.780 online that people are very very curious about we don't know what cause really they're falling out

00:10:08.940 I'm sitting here trying to think of how I can frame this online feud to you guys between Alex and Alex.

00:10:14.500 But actually, SNL does a good job. Let's watch it.

00:10:17.060 What is up, daddy gang?

00:10:20.560 Welcome, ladies. So for anyone not familiar, would you mind introducing yourselves?

00:10:25.340 Yeah, of course. So I'm Alex with an E.

00:10:28.040 And I'm Alex with an I.

00:10:29.720 I'm pretty much Martha Stewart if instead of teaching baking, she taught you the Glock 3000.

00:10:35.300 And I'm basically Ellen if she never came out.

00:10:37.720 right i'm actually ashamed i knew and understood the entire skit you should be proud of yourself

00:10:44.960 if you don't really know who they're portraying um it's just sad because i think this is exactly

00:10:50.540 what gen z airheads really sound like okay and one more alex cooper clip for you because i just

00:10:57.720 want to reinforce the point number one of the platform this woman has uh not even just amongst

00:11:03.320 the youth. But going into the presidential election in 2024, Alex Cooper sat down and

00:11:10.060 interviewed Kamala Harris. As you can imagine, they talked about abortion or what they call

00:11:14.660 reproductive rights and healthcare freedom. They talked about how women are marginalized and

00:11:19.920 victimized. Anyways, this is who sat down with the vice president. How do you work with the

00:11:25.980 balls and the asshole on a man? The balls, like it really depends on the guy. Like some guys don't

00:11:32.100 like it yeah some have less sensitivity and you can tug on them yeah put them all in your mouth

00:11:36.920 like some guys like fuck yeah it hurts whenever you try to do it um and it's so interesting to

00:11:42.020 always see like the difference in the balls because some have a really tight smaller ones

00:11:45.920 and then other really saggy i don't know if my team is going to like bleep out some of those

00:11:50.860 words in post but i hope they do because it feels too explicit but then if they do bleep it out you

00:11:57.740 don't even know what's going on. Like, that's how raunchy this was. And she sat down with the

00:12:03.200 vice president, the former vice president, who was hoping to win the Democratic presidential nominee

00:12:07.700 in 2024. I'm curious, like you don't do too many long form interviews. What made you want to do

00:12:15.220 Call Her Daddy today? Well, I think you and your listeners have really got this thing right,

00:12:23.200 Which is one of the best ways to communicate with people is to be real, you know, and to talk about the things that people really care about.

00:12:32.700 What I love about what you do is that your voice in your show is really about your listeners.

00:12:40.500 And I think especially now, this is a moment in the country and in life where people really want to know they're seen and heard and that they're part of a community, that they're not out there alone.

00:12:51.800 and um and so i'm really glad to be with you we would have been cooked we would have been doomed

00:12:57.960 if kamala harris won but the sad thing is they really thought sitting down talking to alex cooper

00:13:04.020 with kamala harris would play really really well with young people because again she has that sort

00:13:10.220 of pull so if your mom listening to this and you want a good role model for your daughters or you

00:13:14.220 want them to listen to a podcast that is in direct contrast with everything that alex cooper does

00:13:20.180 the advice that she gives, everything that she stands for, look no further. You found the Riley

00:13:25.060 Gaines show. But seriously, my message to moms with daughters, your girls are currently under

00:13:30.560 siege. They're hearing that their worth is in how they perform in the bedroom, not who they are in

00:13:36.220 their hearts, not who God knows them to be, not who he created them to be. They're hearing the

00:13:41.260 really harmful, dangerous message that their feelings trump their gut instinct or their

00:13:46.660 intuition that sleeping around is fun and empowering until it isn't. And by then, guess

00:13:53.220 what? The damage has already been done. Tell your daughters the truth that real empowerment comes

00:13:57.260 from self-respect and boundaries and saving intimacy for someone who earns it. Teach them

00:14:03.380 that what feels good in the moment often leads to lifelong regret. Protect them from the Call Her

00:14:11.260 Daddy podcast. Block it. You can discuss it. You can counter it with real talk about virtue and

00:14:17.800 faith and building a life that lasts. You are their shield as a parent, as a mom. I imagine I'm

00:14:24.560 talking to the moms right now. You are a shield against a culture that wants them used up and

00:14:30.140 discarded all in the name of feminism, weirdly enough, raise them to be wives and mothers of

00:14:36.180 substance, not statistics in someone else's empire. And I don't think we should leave this

00:14:43.140 episode without giving a message to moms with sons too. Because yes, again, Alex Cooper, I think

00:14:48.740 she's directly targeting young girls, but young boys are indirectly being targeted here. Your

00:14:53.580 boys are growing up in a world where women are raised on this trash. They're being taught to

00:14:59.120 view themselves as disposable conquests, or worse, to chase the very chaos that leaves everyone

00:15:05.520 broken. These girls influenced by Alex Cooper and call her daddy, they're not learning how to be

00:15:11.820 partners or good stewards of that relationship. They're learning how to chase the thrill. Teach

00:15:17.460 your sons how to seek women of character, not the ones chasing what feels good. Raise them to be

00:15:24.480 the protectors and providers and leaders who value commitment and purity. Show them the hypocrisy

00:15:30.780 in these influencers so they don't fall for the trap. Your sons, they deserve a future with

00:15:35.460 a wife who builds a home, not one trained to tear it down all in the name of fun or to not be a

00:15:42.640 prude. Be the voice that counters all of that noise. It's not a matter of opinion. You can look

00:15:49.440 at statistics and research and data and you can see the direct correlation. Hedonism, it doesn't

00:15:54.820 build strong families. It doesn't build a strong nation. No, it leaves wreckage. Alex Cooper's

00:16:01.140 success alone is proof of how far we've fallen. But the good news is we do not have to accept it.

00:16:07.720 Turn off the podcast unless it's this one. Open up the real conversations at home. You can reclaim

00:16:13.140 the culture for our kids. It is not too late. It is the best investment you will ever make

00:16:18.980 is in your kids and in their future. If we don't fight for them now, who will? Thank you guys for
