00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as red states move to ban the procedure, states like Minnesota are
00:00:04.220 passing legislation to declare themselves sanctuaries for child mutilation. One father
00:00:08.060 of a quote-unquote trans six-year-old testified in favor of the bill. His testimony is being
00:00:12.640 hailed as heroic and beautiful by the left, but I have a different take, as you might expect.
00:00:16.980 Also, the College Board makes changes to its AP African American Studies course after pushback
00:00:21.460 from conservatives. A BBC correspondent celebrates the quote beautiful piece of hand luggage,
00:00:26.660 i.e. a baby that he had via the womb that he rented. Vegan activists hatch a disastrous plan
00:00:31.820 to shut down a slaughterhouse. In our Daily Cancellation, we explore the depressing world
00:00:35.780 of divorce coaches. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:47.440 You know, if you own a business, the past few years have been a bumpy ride. From COVID lockdowns to
00:00:51.300 Bidenflation, you could probably use a break, and innovation refunds can help with that. If your
00:00:55.620 business has five or more employees and managed to survive COVID, you could be eligible to receive
00:01:00.420 a payroll tax rebate of up to $26,000 per employee. It's not a loan. There's no payback.
00:01:06.040 It is a refund of your taxes. The challenge, though, is simply just to get your hands on it. How do you

00:01:51.760 Well, as we've been tracking on the show for years, the Republican Party did virtually nothing
00:01:56.580 to fight back against gender ideology and the trans agendas, indoctrination, and abuse of
00:02:00.940 children. They have been doing virtually nothing to fight back against it, but finally that has
00:02:05.060 changed, and not by accident. Those in the anti-gender ideology movement, otherwise known as the sanity
00:02:11.000 movement or the reality movement, whatever term you want to use, have been in the trenches fighting
00:02:15.420 against this madness for a long time. And it's through those efforts that we now find ourselves
00:02:19.840 in a position where states across the country are passing laws banning the mutilation, castration,
00:02:25.380 and abuse of gender-confused children. Utah, as we mentioned yesterday, is the latest state to pass a
00:02:30.620 measure banning medical transitions on children. And that is significant because it was less than a
00:02:36.760 year ago that Utah's Republican governor, Spencer Cox, vetoed a bill that would have banned males from
00:02:43.580 female sports. And his stated reason was that he said he wasn't an, quote, expert on transgenderism,
00:02:50.780 and therefore, because he's not an expert on it, all he could do was, quote, err on the side of
00:02:54.860 kindness, mercy, and compassion. It was one of the most shameful episodes of squishiness we've ever seen
00:03:00.920 from the squish party, and that's saying a lot. Banning males from female sports is a layup,
00:03:06.660 no pun intended. You don't need to be an expert on anything. You just need to have common sense,
00:03:11.020 and that's how you know that it's the right move. And you don't even need political courage to do it
00:03:16.200 because most Americans agree that sports should be segregated based on sex. Yet Cox went limp and
00:03:22.840 surrendered anyway. Now, that was back in March of 2022, so not all that long ago. Fast forward to
00:03:29.240 January 2023, and here he is signing a bill banning child gender transitions. He was afraid of being
00:03:36.300 called a transphobe just a few months ago. Now, he's signing legislation that will have him labeled
00:03:41.860 a transphobe by every corporate media publication in the country. All the people that he was mad,
00:03:46.920 that he was worried about being mad at him, are going to be even more mad at him now because of
00:03:51.960 this. So what changed? Did he somehow discover a backbone? Did he undergo his own gender transition
00:03:57.880 from spineless jellyfish to actual human man? Probably not. Instead, the political realities
00:04:04.900 changed because we forced them to change. You and me, those of us who have been speaking out and
00:04:10.920 fighting back against this trans madness. We changed the political atmosphere by basically
00:04:16.160 force of will. Changed it so that even a guy like Spencer Cox has no choice but to do the right thing.
00:04:22.580 And several other states, of course, are in line to do the same. Now, on the federal level,
00:04:25.880 the only 2024 candidate officially in the race at this point, Donald Trump, announced this week
00:04:29.520 a series of proposals to eradicate the trans agenda from schools and doctors' offices and
00:04:34.680 government agencies nationwide. And we mentioned this briefly on the show yesterday, but it's worth
00:04:38.420 listening to some of his proposal as he outlined it. And here it is. Listen.
00:04:44.160 The left-wing gender insanity being pushed on our children is an act of child abuse. Very simple.
00:04:51.560 Here's my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth.
00:04:57.220 On day one, I will revoke Joe Biden's cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care.
00:05:05.400 Ridiculous. A process that includes giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance,
00:05:12.560 and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. Can you believe this? I will sign a new executive
00:05:19.560 order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender
00:05:26.980 transition at any age. I will then ask Congress to permanently stop federal taxpayer dollars
00:05:33.380 from being used to promote or pay for these procedures and pass a law prohibiting child sexual
00:05:40.020 mutilation in all 50 states. It will go very quickly. I will declare that any hospital or health care
00:05:46.440 provider that participates in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth will no longer
00:05:52.980 meet federal health and safety standards for Medicaid and Medicare and will be terminated from
00:05:59.340 the program immediately. Furthermore, I will support the creation of a private right of action for
00:06:05.700 victims to sue doctors who have unforgivably performed these procedures on minor children.
00:06:13.440 Well, it's all very similar to the law that we're getting passed here in Tennessee,
00:06:16.440 Tennessee. But Tennessee is just one state. We need exactly this. We need exactly this on the
00:06:21.300 national level as well. Trump also says, as he goes on to say, that he would direct the Department
00:06:27.300 of Justice to investigate hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, doctors to find out if they've been
00:06:34.020 involved in a cover up of the horrific long term side effects and of gender transition drugs and
00:06:40.440 surgeries. And the answer, of course, is that yes, they have been covering those things up
00:06:44.680 as any genuine and thorough investigation will clearly show, which is why the next step under
00:06:49.340 a Trump administration or any Republican administration should be to arrest the culprits,
00:06:55.400 the hundreds and hundreds of them, if not thousands of them, and throw them in federal prison.
00:07:01.080 Now, this can't be a matter of simple fines and financial penalties. I mean, that should be part of
00:07:04.460 it. But the only real recourse here, the only semblance of justice would be prison sentences. It's
00:07:10.600 very long ones. Now, if it were up to me, we'd go further than that. As far as I'm concerned,
00:07:16.060 mutilating and castrating children should be legally considered a capital crime, and it should earn the
00:07:21.240 prescribed penalty for such crimes. But if we can't have that, then prison will have to suffice.
00:07:27.940 These are all very positive developments. Yeah, we know that the left isn't going to take any of
00:07:32.680 this lying down. They were so close in their minds to achieving their genderless dystopia that they're
00:07:39.140 not going to give up now. They can't because gender ideology is the centerpiece of their entire
00:07:43.700 cultural agenda. They can't give up on it. They can't give it up without giving the whole game
00:07:47.740 away, which they're not going to do. And so while red states move to protect children from these forms
00:07:52.960 of physical and sexual abuse, blue states are doubling down on the abuse and doing everything
00:07:57.980 in their power to ensure that more and more kids are fed into the transgender wood chipper.
00:08:04.040 Most recently, the state of Minnesota, which is following in the steps of states like California,
00:08:10.960 has introduced legislation to officially declare itself a sanctuary state for trans kids. In other
00:08:16.100 words, Democrats in Minnesota want to traffic children into the states so that they can be
00:08:21.420 castrated and sterilized. These people, they're not satisfied with simply butchering the children
00:08:26.180 who already live in Minnesota. They want the state to become a destination, a hub for such abuse.
00:08:31.540 Representative Lee Finke is a man who says he's a woman, and he wrote this legislation and then
00:08:39.100 explained it on the House floor this week in Minnesota. Listen to this.
00:08:43.540 There are gender diverse people in Minnesota right now receiving gender affirming care.
00:08:49.500 More are fleeing their home states asking where they should turn. There are people in the audience
00:08:55.520 today who have come here for this very reason. There are doctors in Minnesota right now providing
00:09:02.000 this world-class gender affirming care. And there are parents who are terrified about what unknown
00:09:08.320 consequences may come from simply affirming their child's authentic self. This is new law.
00:09:16.080 It's complex, and there are questions that still need to be answered. But we can answer those questions,
00:09:23.560 and we need to do so right now. Utah banned gender affirming care last Saturday. They were not the
00:09:32.840 first state to do so, and they will not be the last. Tennessee is close behind them. South Dakota is moving.
00:09:39.540 The organized political movement that has targeted my community is at work in every state that touches
00:09:46.340 ours. Well, you're damn right. We are targeting your community. We are. And by your community,
00:09:53.260 the community we're targeting, I'm referring to the community of child abusers. Of course,
00:09:59.080 Finke is supposed to be seen as an authority here because he identifies as trans himself.
00:10:03.480 But of course, that only makes him less reliable. He has a vested personal interest in transing the
00:10:10.240 kids because it makes him feel better about his own lifestyle choices, which is the motivation for
00:10:15.780 guys like him. For Finke, affirming the children, quote unquote, is really about affirming himself. And
00:10:22.820 you'll notice this about the vast majority of the voices speaking up in favor of transing the kids. Most of
00:10:27.580 them are either alleged medical professionals who stand to financially profit from this, or they are
00:10:33.340 trans activists desperately seeking affirmation and validation for their own self-identities.
00:10:39.440 And on the other side, who are the people on the other side that are speaking out against this? Well,
00:10:43.980 you have people who don't benefit in any selfish way at all from the position that we've taken on
00:10:49.220 this subject. We don't make money on kids who are not trans. We don't make money on kids who are
00:10:55.520 protected from the trans agenda. Every child who's protected from the trans agenda does not translate
00:11:00.520 into money for us. Whereas on the other side, every child who is fed into the trans agenda and
00:11:05.980 claimed by it translates into money for them. And we're also not seeking any sort of emotional
00:11:11.140 validation or affirmation of our own lifestyles. We know who we are. We're not worried about that.
00:11:18.560 We simply just believe in defending the truth for the truth's own sake. And we believe in protecting
00:11:23.040 kids for their own sake. That's it. But back to the other side, the debate over the sanctuary state
00:11:29.820 bill in Minnesota also featured the testimony of a father who claims that his own six-year-old child
00:11:35.820 is, quote, trans. And this video is being passed around on social media by trans activists who say
00:11:40.920 that they were brought to tears by it. It's so emotional and beautiful. They said, you can listen
00:11:47.920 yourself and tell me how beautiful you think this actually is. Listen. My wife and I are here today
00:11:53.620 because we have a trans child. Asher, six years old. At three, she was not sleeping very well.
00:12:03.180 She was waking up every single night. It was a lot more than just a toddler waking up. And one day,
00:12:09.920 I picked her up from daycare. And all the teachers had said, Asher told us that she's a she.
00:12:22.440 And I said to these wonderful daycare people who had never had a trans kid before at a pretty
00:12:29.800 religious place, so what'd you do? And they said, we called her a her. And I said, great. Oh my God,
00:12:40.080 great. And Asher comes around the corner and I said, hey, there's my beautiful daughter. And I think
00:12:47.200 there are a few things in this world that are, I'll remember for my whole life. And that is one of
00:12:52.300 them. The smile on her face, the look of affirmation, the confidence she had to tell her
00:12:59.400 teachers who had known her since diapers, that she was a she, that her father said, there's my
00:13:04.620 beautiful daughter. Well, speaking of people who should be in prison, there's one there. You know,
00:13:10.560 I've heard many, many testimonies from parents of young, quote, trans kids. And I've yet to hear
00:13:17.540 of a single, quote, unquote, trans kid who was acting differently in any significant way
00:13:24.620 from any other kid their age. So their father tells us that his son was waking up in the middle
00:13:30.540 of the night when he was three. Wow. That's, that's something. Wow. A toddler isn't sleeping
00:13:38.280 well? Who's ever heard of such a thing? This requires, I mean, this requires us to radically
00:13:45.160 rethink the kid's very identity because they're not sleeping well. I mean, well, you know, I have
00:13:51.180 four kids three and that are three years or older or older, and we've actually gone through the not
00:13:57.120 sleeping well three-year-old phase with, oh, I don't know, every single one of them. My six-year-old
00:14:03.120 son, when he was three, he woke up between midnight and 2 a.m. and started playing with his toys or like
00:14:08.820 walking around the house. And he would do this every night for at least six months, every single night.
00:14:15.920 And I had a lot of thoughts and feelings about the fact that he kept waking up and waking the whole
00:14:22.400 house up. I felt many things, most of them frustration. But it never occurred to me that
00:14:28.100 he was waking up because he was tortured by the thought that he might have been born in the wrong
00:14:31.960 body. That's just, that's something that never crossed my mind. And there are many insane things
00:14:36.660 that never occurred to me, in fact. And well, that's, I guess that's really just only one of them.
00:14:40.240 But it's not simply, let's not sell this father short. It's not simply that young Asher, I think
00:14:46.860 his name was, was waking up a lot in the middle of the night, as toddlers tend to do. He also,
00:14:52.000 at the age of three, announced himself as a girl at daycare. And that's all it took. A few sleepless
00:14:58.440 nights, a random declaration from a toddler, and that's all this guy needed. His poor son has now been
00:15:04.640 doomed to a life of confusion, identity crisis, despair, eventual medical and surgical mutilation.
00:15:10.240 Why is that? Well, because the father obviously wanted a trans child. He wanted the fashion
00:15:15.440 accessory to carry around. He wanted his child to become a vehicle for his own virtue signaling.
00:15:22.000 And he took the first opportunity that came his way. That's the kind of thing we're fighting against.
00:15:28.020 While the other side doubles down and gets more extreme in their evil, we have to double down
00:15:33.740 and become more extreme in our defense of truth and of kids. That's the path forward. And I'm happy
00:15:41.920 to see that it's the path we're finally walking down. Now let's get to our headlines.
00:15:47.180 If the past couple of years have taught us anything, it's that in a crisis, like a global pandemic or a
00:15:57.260 natural disaster, even the basics can be hard to come by, need to be prepared for anything. And
00:16:02.120 that's why my new partners at Jace Medical are here and they can help. Jace Medical helps you get a
00:16:06.900 long-term supply of prescription medication. Their mission is to empower you to be better medically
00:16:11.920 prepared in the case of any kind of emergency. A great way to start preparing is with the Jace
00:16:16.920 case, a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a whole
00:16:20.740 host of bacterial illnesses, including UTIs, respiratory infections, sinuses, skin infections,
00:16:26.600 and much more. All you have to do is fill out a simple online form and in some cases, jump on a
00:16:30.740 quick call with one of their board-certified physicians. From there, you can ask your physician
00:16:34.400 treatment-related questions on an ongoing basis. And you can do all of this to make sure that you
00:16:41.200 are prepared in case of anything. And as we said, we know that the last couple of years in particular
00:16:46.020 have shown us how important preparedness is, especially if you have kids. The Jace case gives
00:16:52.300 me peace of mind, I can tell you, knowing that my family will have what we need if the worst happens.
00:16:57.120 And I want you to be prepared for anything as well. All you got to do is go to jacemedical.com,

00:17:06.920 All right, so we'll begin with some news from apnews.com. It says, high school senior
00:17:14.600 Kalila Bendili is used to courses that don't address the African-American experience.
00:17:21.660 Then there's her 9 a.m. class. This week, it spanned topics from Afro-Caribbean migration to jazz.
00:17:27.720 The discussion in her advanced placement course on African-American studies touched on figures from
00:17:31.620 Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, and Rihanna. In her AP European history course,
00:17:37.560 she said, we're not discussing black people at all, even though they were colonized by Europeans.
00:17:42.420 Well, that's, I mean, that's shocking to me. Why aren't they discussing Rihanna in their European
00:17:48.220 history course? I mean, this is, that's racism. I can't think of any other reason
00:17:53.800 why you wouldn't be talking about Rihanna in your European history course.
00:17:58.400 What about in your astronomy class? Does Beyonce ever come up?
00:18:03.720 If not, there's racism. It says, her school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is one of 60 schools around
00:18:09.260 the country testing the new course, which has gained national attention since Florida Governor
00:18:12.400 Ron DeSantis threatened to ban it in his state. The rejection has stirred new political debate
00:18:16.420 over how schools teach about race. The official curriculum for the course released Wednesday
00:18:20.620 by the College Board downplays some components that had drawn criticism from DeSantis and other
00:18:25.420 conservatives. Topics including Black Lives Matter, slavery reparations, and queer life
00:18:29.820 are not part of the exam. Instead, they are included only on a sample list that states and school
00:18:34.700 systems can choose from for student projects. The College Board, which oversees AP exams, said
00:18:40.420 revisions to the course were substantially complete before DeSantis shared his objections.
00:18:44.480 So that's kind of the headline here that there was this new African American AP history course that was
00:18:55.280 devised by the College Board being rolled out of public schools across the country. And it included a lot
00:19:00.440 of radical far left propaganda. Ron DeSantis, among others, brought that up and was objecting to it and
00:19:09.380 said that it wasn't gonna be allowed in his state. And now the College Board has revised it and they've
00:19:15.180 supposedly downplayed a lot of those political elements. But they claim that, oh, we were gonna do
00:19:21.140 that anyway. We were totally gonna do that anyway. It's not because you conservatives, it's not because
00:19:26.780 we're not caving to backlash from you. But of course, they really are, which is good.
00:19:32.280 You know, this is something we've seen, in fact, more and more recently, that backlash from the
00:19:39.720 right actually gets results. And that is a new phenomenon in a lot of ways. Now, that doesn't
00:19:45.840 mean that problem solved here or that we should at all trust this African American studies course.
00:19:53.620 Of course, we shouldn't. Because it was always meant to be a vehicle for far left propaganda.
00:20:00.720 That's what it was always intended to be. And if the course still exists at all,
00:20:05.220 then it is still going to be a vehicle for far left propaganda, even if they supposedly are
00:20:10.540 downplaying certain elements of it that have drawn objection from the right. It's still there,
00:20:18.440 still a propaganda course. I mean, why would something like Queer Life, as the AP puts it,
00:20:23.980 or BLM, which is a political scam organization, why would that ever be a part of an African American
00:20:32.720 studies program to begin with? Well, because these programs are fundamentally ideological.
00:20:40.860 And the queer stuff in particular gets shoehorned in because it is central to their agenda. I mean,
00:20:49.540 everything always comes down to that on the left. Every subject ultimately comes down to an exploration
00:20:57.640 of gender and sexuality. Because that is their, on the left, that is their single preoccupation. It's
00:21:04.120 what they care the most about. And so everything will come down to that. But if we want to get some,
00:21:10.640 you know, I think some really insightful analysis of this debate about African American studies and
00:21:16.420 what belongs in the school and what doesn't, well, I think we should turn to the one place where we turn
00:21:21.000 for insightful analysis of really any subject. And that is, of course, The View, where Whoopi Goldberg
00:21:26.840 had some thoughts about all this, and in particular about Ron DeSantis. And let's give that a listen.
00:21:33.420 I don't understand why he believes that he wants people to see the history of Western civilization and
00:21:42.240 history and philosophy of Western civilization, because he wants to, he wants it seen through
00:21:47.080 that lens. Why is your lens better than my lens?
00:21:51.660 What, what, you know, so you're basically saying, like, to people like Marion Croke,
00:21:57.160 you're not going to teach about her. Her history is American history.
00:22:00.200 What, what, what is it that he doesn't get? We're not going anywhere. Just because you stopped
00:22:08.300 teaching it in the colleges, you think people are going to stop telling these stories? You're,
00:22:11.840 you're, no, it's not going to happen. Amen. Amen to that utter nonsense.
00:22:19.920 Of course, there's a couple problems here. And all stemming from the fact that Whoopi Goldberg has,
00:22:26.320 you know, an IQ of 14. So, and she's also a dishonest hack as well, obviously. Otherwise,
00:22:33.520 she wouldn't be, she wouldn't be on that show. But a couple problems. First, she says, she says,
00:22:37.540 well, African American history is American history. Yeah, well, right. That's the point that that's
00:22:42.420 actually the point that's being made by people like Ron DeSantis and anyone else who objects to
00:22:47.140 these kinds of courses in public school. We actually, we don't need to break American history down
00:22:52.680 on, on, on racial lines. We don't need to say, well, let's do the history of this race and then
00:22:58.340 the history of this race and the history of that race. Let's teach American history, which will
00:23:06.140 encompass people of different races. Nobody ever claimed otherwise. That's our point, to be clear.
00:23:16.380 But then she also seems to suggest that what DeSantis is really doing, and she's not the only one,
00:23:20.840 this is what we're hearing from the left, that because DeSantis and other conservatives are
00:23:25.600 objecting to this radical far left African American studies course, what we're really saying is that
00:23:32.140 we don't want black people mentioned in the school at all. We don't want any of them mentioned. So this
00:23:39.140 is, you know, this is, this is don't say gay 2.0. This is the, this is the don't say gay hysteria,
00:23:45.600 you know, completely fraudulent, phony hysteria ginned up by the media. And this is that all over
00:23:54.160 again. It's don't say gay 2.0. Where they took a, with don't say gay bill, which is a bill that
00:23:59.300 never existed. They took a bill that really just protects very young children in the school system
00:24:04.200 from being sexually indoctrinated by their teachers. And then they, they claim that it meant
00:24:08.620 that the word gay is never allowed to be said anywhere around the school system.
00:24:12.840 And now what they're claiming is that I, now it's the, what is it? This is the don't say black
00:24:17.740 bill, I guess is what they're saying. That we're not allowed to acknowledge black people at all.
00:24:22.520 And they're being erased from American history, which is, which is not the case. In fact, it's
00:24:27.660 what we're saying is the opposite. Let's teach American history, the history of this country.
00:24:33.440 And, and that includes the significant contributions of everyone, no matter what the race was.
00:24:42.840 Now it is true. And this of course is the, the problem that the left has that, uh, well,
00:24:48.940 if you teach American history and you're talking about the significant contributions made by anyone,
00:24:55.440 regardless of the race, that means that you will be acknowledging the contributions of lots of white
00:25:01.380 men too. Uh, that's, there'd be lots of white men going back to the founding of the country and, uh,
00:25:08.080 and ever since then. And that's, that is actually their problem. They don't want to have to acknowledge
00:25:13.620 that. Uh, Joy Reid also, we've already heard from Whoopi Goldberg. So let's throw Joy Reid in as
00:25:20.500 well. She also lashed out at Ron DeSantis, but, uh, only made him sound even better in the process,
00:25:25.060 which is usually the way these things work. Here she is. What DeSantis is doing is intentional
00:25:30.660 in order to peel off Trump's Republican voters and get them on his side ahead of his presidential
00:25:35.600 bid in 2024. He's turning Florida into a right-wing paradise where the focus isn't on healthcare or
00:25:41.760 jobs or taxes or infrastructure, or I don't know, hurricane or flood insurance in one of the most
00:25:46.520 natural disaster prone States in the country, you know, normal governor stuff, but rather on the
00:25:52.240 right-wing culture wars and nothing but the right-wing culture wars. And he's ticking all the
00:25:57.660 boxes. Not only is he banning books about history and any mention of the existence of gay people from
00:26:03.680 Florida schools, he's barring public high schools from teaching AP African-American studies. He's
00:26:10.380 taking aim at drag performances, even suggesting that he would urge the state's child protective services
00:26:15.920 to investigate parents who take their own kids to one. He's actively trying to ban
00:26:21.740 COVID vaccine mandates and restricting mask rules while at the same time calling for probes into
00:26:28.320 supposed wrongdoing linked to the vaccine. And he's doing all of this while making sure that anyone
00:26:34.860 can walk around with a gun, no permit required. It's a right-wing fantasy land like Disney world,
00:26:40.660 but in hell come to Florida, the meanest place on earth. Sounds great to me. Uh, of course,
00:26:47.420 much of what she said there is we heard again there that she's, he's banning any mention of the existence
00:26:52.720 of gay people. That's total fabrication. This is just what they, they, they make this up. And of course,
00:26:58.820 there's never going to be any fact check or anything like that from our brave fact checking
00:27:03.240 organizations out there. But I think this is a really good, this is, um, you know, this shouldn't
00:27:09.060 necessarily be your primary motivation as a leader, as a governor, but, um, it is a pretty good sign
00:27:16.860 that you're on the right path. When someone like Joy Reed says that this is, that you've, you know,
00:27:22.180 you're, you've turned your state into a nightmare and she'd never want to move there.
00:27:26.680 This is a, you could do worse if you're trying to figure out what sort of state, what sort of
00:27:31.740 community to build. Well, build the kind of community that Joy, that a person like Joy Reed would
00:27:38.000 never want to move into. Um, and if that, if, if, if, if that's your path forward, if that's kind of
00:27:47.040 your, your guiding light, well, you could do a lot worse. That's for sure. Here's an article from
00:27:53.160 the, uh, Virginia pilot says a house of delegates subcommittee on Monday passed a bill that would ban
00:27:58.500 transgender girls and women from competing on female sports teams at the K through 12, uh, schools and
00:28:03.820 universities. Delegant Karen Greenhall, who introduced the measure, told legislators they
00:28:08.460 had a responsibility to stand up for female athletes. Similarly gifted and trained males
00:28:13.180 will always have the physical advantage over females, which is the reason we have women's
00:28:16.780 sports, said Greenhall. These, uh, those opposed to the bill argued that it discriminated against
00:28:21.040 transgender youth. So we're talking about these kinds of bills across the country. It's also happening
00:28:24.400 in, uh, in Virginia, but I bring this up in particular because of testimony that was offered
00:28:29.900 by, um, Riley Gaines. She's a recent graduate from the university of Kentucky where she had been a
00:28:37.720 member of the women's swim, swim team. And, um, she said it was unfair that she had to compete against
00:28:42.300 Leah Thomas, who is the male who identified it as a woman and listen to a little bit of her experience.
00:28:48.480 Here it is. In addition to being forced to give up our awards, our titles, not opportunities.
00:28:54.200 The NCAA forced female swimmers to share a locker room with Thomas, a six, four, 22 year old
00:28:59.700 male who was fully intact with male genitalia. Let me be clear. We were not forewarned. We were not
00:29:07.460 asked for our consent and we did not give our consent. If nothing else, I hope you can truly see
00:29:14.280 how this is a violation of our privacy and how some of us have felt uncomfortable, awkward,
00:29:23.020 um, embarrassed, and even traumatized by this experience.
00:29:26.180 I know I don't speak for everyone. I, it's impossible to speak for everyone, but I can
00:29:32.700 attest to the tears that were shed on that pool deck by these poor ninth and 17th place finishers
00:29:37.340 who missed out on being named an all American by one place. And I can attest to the extreme
00:29:41.960 discomfort in the locker room when you turn around and there's a male watching you undress
00:29:46.580 while exposing himself. I can attest to the anger and frustration from these girls who had worked
00:29:52.440 so hard and sacrificed so much to get to this point. Yeah. She said she doesn't speak, uh, for,
00:29:58.800 for everyone. And, uh, well, she's right. She doesn't, it's, it's, it's, it's, as she said,
00:30:01.900 it's impossible to speak for everyone. Uh, there, there might be maybe like, I'd have to,
00:30:09.440 I would, I would have to leave open the theoretical possibility that there might be some women out
00:30:16.780 there who actually do want a man such as Leah Thomas disrobing in the locker room with them.
00:30:24.820 Maybe there are some women out there who, who really are gung ho about it and say, yeah, I want
00:30:29.240 more. I want, I want more, uh, men parading around the locker room with their penises hanging out.
00:30:34.420 That's I want more of that. Maybe there are some women out there who really feel that way.
00:30:38.060 I suspect that if those women exist at all, uh, they are very, very few and far between.
00:30:47.800 Well, you have instead are a bunch of women. You have some women who have spoken out bravely
00:30:52.660 about this and are willing to speak out. Um, many more who have, uh, complained about it privately,
00:30:58.700 but haven't spoken out in public. And then, and then many more who have said nothing at all,
00:31:03.220 but are extremely uncomfortable with it. And the reason they haven't said anything is because
00:31:05.920 they're worried about the penalties that they'll suffer, um, both academic penalties,
00:31:12.000 you know, the social consequences and all the rest of it being shamed as a transphobe and everything.
00:31:18.600 Um, and then there are many more women who have actually come out in favor of it verbally
00:31:23.760 because they think that that's what they're supposed to do. And they want to show off their
00:31:29.060 virtue and they want to win those social credit points. But of course, in reality, they prefer to
00:31:33.960 have the locker room to themselves. So I think when it comes to a locker room issue in particular,
00:31:37.640 those groups that I've just outlined, that probably encompasses almost all women. Um,
00:31:44.260 the number of women who are genuinely excited about the prospect, the reality of males disroping
00:31:52.340 in the locker room, it's got to be, it's virtually non-existent.
00:31:57.980 And this has always been, you know, we hear about when it comes to Leah Thomas or any of these
00:32:02.280 males competing against women, um, much of the conversation focuses around what's happening
00:32:10.100 in the pool or on the track or, you know, what's happening in the competition and the way that
00:32:14.420 these, these opportunities and medals and trophies are being taken away from women.
00:32:19.080 And that is a problem. It is a, it's a travesty in many ways, but what's happening in the locker room
00:32:26.260 is even, I mean, far worse. This is far more insidious that these women are being forced to
00:32:34.540 endure this and being screamed at and told to just shut up and deal with it while a man disrobes
00:32:43.080 in front of them. It is truly, truly evil and, uh, and sick. Speaking of evil and sick,
00:32:50.700 here's a tweet that's gone viral over the past few days. Um, it's from a correspondent for the BBC
00:32:58.860 named Mark Lowen. And he tweeted this along with a picture. He says, after six weeks in wonderful
00:33:07.940 and tearful, uh, farewells to our incredible, or sorry, after six weeks in wonderful Canada,
00:33:14.080 doesn't say Canada, there's a Canadian flag. I'm still learning how to read, uh, these hieroglyphic
00:33:19.560 posts where they use pictures instead of words. After six weeks in wonderful Canada and tearful
00:33:24.580 farewells to our incredible surrogate and friend, it's time to go home to Lisbon with our new family
00:33:29.780 member, our most beautiful hand luggage. Canada, you are a shining light of democracy and equality.
00:33:35.700 Thank you for letting us fulfill our dream. And then you see the two men there holding a baby
00:33:40.880 that was, uh, that was conceived and birthed via surrogacy. You know, we've, we've had this
00:33:49.320 conversation about surrogacy before on the show. And, um, as I have been arguing all along,
00:33:56.900 this is a, a deeply evil practice. This is the commodification of a children's, the commodification
00:34:06.100 of a woman's body. I mean, the idea that you can rent out a woman's body
00:34:11.340 for the purposes of, you know, growing a child that will then, and that child will then be separated
00:34:19.880 permanently from, from his mother. And that you're doing all of this to, not because it's best for
00:34:27.580 the child. This is not being done because it's best for the child. There's, there's no world where
00:34:33.740 it's the best thing for the child to be conceived and born via surrogacy and then separated from his
00:34:39.540 mother forever. That's never in the best interest of the child, but you're doing it for you to satisfy
00:34:47.740 your own desires. In fact, you hear Mark Lowen say it here. Thank you for letting us fulfill our dream.
00:34:56.080 But it's also in this particular case, um, this post really jumps out at you because it's so on the
00:35:02.860 nose when he refers to the child as hand luggage, our most beautiful hand luggage. This is something
00:35:12.720 that, you know, a real parent, you, you love your child. You would, you would never refer to your kid
00:35:21.440 that way. Uh, you know, people might have different funny sort of ways of, of talking about parenthood and
00:35:30.140 everything. Nobody would know, no, no actual parent would refer to their, their child who's just been
00:35:35.640 born as beautiful hand luggage, but that's the way they see it. That's, that's what the child is.
00:35:43.140 The child is, uh, is an accessory for these men. It is totally dehumanizing to both the child and the
00:35:54.180 woman. Um, you know, the, the, the commercialized renting and purchasing of a womb for the purposes
00:36:03.120 of fulfilling these, the, the, the, the quote dreams of these gay men is, uh, incredibly sinister
00:36:12.240 and wrong. But this is also what you end up with in a culture where we've decided that the, the ultimate
00:36:18.040 good is the fulfillment of your, of the individual's own desires, like satisfying the individual's own
00:36:25.180 desires, individual's own ego. Uh, we've decided that's, that's what we've structured our entire
00:36:29.680 culture around that. Um, we each have our, our own universe that we live in and that universe revolves
00:36:36.660 around us. And the most important thing in that universe is how we feel and affirming our own
00:36:42.980 feelings. And in that kind of situation, it's no surprise that, uh, we do things like rent out a
00:36:51.980 woman's womb so that gay men can grow children and then, uh, separate them forever from their
00:36:58.120 biological mother in order to satisfy their own desires. All right. Finally, this video went viral.
00:37:03.900 Um, I don't know where or when it was taken, but it's apparently from, from, from the way it's being
00:37:09.100 described. It's apparently vegan activists somewhere who, uh, are protesting a slaughterhouse
00:37:15.280 and their way of protesting the slaughterhouse is to try to stop a truck from going into the
00:37:19.740 slaughterhouse. They're, they're saying that the, the, the truck has, uh, animals in it that are being
00:37:24.100 brought into their demise. And so they want to stop this huge truck from going in and they have
00:37:31.500 their way of attempting to do that, which doesn't work out. Spoiler alert, doesn't work out too well
00:37:36.100 for them. But, uh, here's a video standing here in front of a fearman slaughterhouse where 10,000
00:37:41.420 lives are taken daily, 10,000 innocent lives slaughtered here for no more than the taste buds
00:37:47.500 of humankind, of humans. Here we have the truck approaching where approximately 300 animals are
00:37:53.540 stacked into this truck. We're going to, we're going to stop this truck so we can bear witness.
00:38:06.100 Oh my God.
00:38:18.100 Oh my God.
00:38:21.100 Oh my God.
00:38:25.100 Oh my God.
00:38:29.100 Oh, I almost got run over.
00:38:40.100 We got it live.
00:38:44.100 You guys just stopped.
00:38:49.100 A lunatic going to stop.
00:38:52.100 these drivers have no respect for life no respect for human life no respect for animal life
00:39:02.900 psychopaths geez what is wrong with that guy what is i i'm shell-shocked how's i i almost
00:39:17.760 got hurt when i threw myself in front of a truck how could that have happened wow geez what exactly
00:39:25.540 they are not setting their best the vegans aren't i don't know if it's because they're not getting
00:39:28.760 enough protein in their diet so their brains are atrophying a little bit uh that's that does
00:39:33.400 happen that's science so i don't know if that's what's maybe that is maybe this is their best
00:39:37.280 that's the thing i keep seeing vegan activists and the stunts that they pull and uh and and i always
00:39:43.220 assume well this can't be their best but i think the reality is that this is this is the best they
00:39:46.800 got so what exactly was the plan it's you we see at the beginning that there are people
00:39:52.980 on the sides of this uh huge big rig and they're holding on to the sides of it as if they think that
00:40:01.520 through just by holding it they can stop it from moving and the truck keeps going and then they try
00:40:07.440 to throw themselves in front of the truck and the truck continues on its way and i don't think the
00:40:12.160 truck actually did run anybody anybody over uh thankfully for the vegans but if you had that
00:40:18.980 would have been their fault you throw yourself in front of a truck that's on you and by the way
00:40:24.600 you know when you've got even if they are uh a bunch of noodley armed vegans even so when you have
00:40:33.460 people uh mobs of people trying to stop your car in the middle of the road um you the safest thing
00:40:40.320 is to keep going because we've seen what happens in the past when you stop for these people you get
00:40:44.660 pulled out of the truck you never know what will happen so for your own safety and also for the
00:40:50.340 safety of that of that precious cargo in the back on its way to the slaughterhouse and for all the
00:40:57.840 rest of the sake of all the rest of us who want to enjoy that delicious bacon you have no choice but
00:41:02.600 to continue going i think all right let's get to the comment section whether you've quit your new

00:42:23.320 cake i understand and agree with him about not customizing a gay marriage cake but the gender
00:42:27.000 cake was not customized both the customer and the baker were acting out of hate
00:42:30.460 that's been brewing how is it hate on the part of the baker yeah you're right about the customer
00:42:36.800 acting on the out hate trying to entrap jack phillips um trying to intentionally put him in a
00:42:43.240 position so that he can be sued so yes he's acting out of hate there but uh the baker just doesn't want
00:42:52.200 to be a part of any kind of celebration of a quote-unquote gender transition
00:42:57.980 because that would be to participate in a lie for one thing and it's a celebration of
00:43:05.920 self-harm and self-mutilation and a lot of terrible things the baker says i don't want to be i don't
00:43:11.160 want to be a part of that you can't force me to be a part of that i don't want to be a part of that
00:43:14.760 event and just because i've opened a bakery this small town bakery doesn't mean that i'm
00:43:21.140 required to be a part of any event that someone demands i i participate in
00:43:26.280 so no he's just as justified in not wanting to make the quote-unquote gender transition cake as
00:43:33.640 not wanting to customize the gay wedding cake this is not only freedom of speech this is a this is a
00:43:39.820 fundamental case of freedom of association you should not be forced to associate yourself with
00:43:44.080 an event that uh you find morally abhorrent for whatever your reasons are doesn't matter
00:43:50.260 and this doesn't need to be grounded especially the gender transition thing yeah jack phillips is a
00:43:56.720 christian but this is not this really has nothing to do with religious liberty necessarily yeah it
00:44:01.400 would be it would be immoral according to the christian faith to participate in an evil event like
00:44:05.940 that but you don't need to be a christian to see uh the the problem with you know the concept of
00:44:12.940 gender transition and celebrating it with a cake so this is basic free speech freedom of association and
00:44:19.420 that's it at the same time if this person really just wanted the cake for this celebration uh uh he could
00:44:29.140 have just said i'd like a pink cake with blue icing and he could have said that and he would have got
00:44:34.580 that because because jack phillips would not if you ever you know any baker you've ever been to
00:44:38.200 they don't demand details on the kind of ceremony that you're celebrating now if you offer it because
00:44:44.440 you want the cake customized for like a birthday then yeah but uh if you just go in there say i want
00:44:48.480 this cake they're not going to make you fill out a questionnaire with a bunch of uh information about
00:44:52.620 the type of event and that didn't happen here that information was volunteered and then jack phillips
00:44:58.060 said well now that you've told me that um and you've given me that information unsolicited
00:45:02.680 now i have to respond accordingly
00:45:05.080 actual final boss says i can't believe the media continues to misgender matt as a blogger he's
00:45:12.280 clearly a vlogger thank you very much that is what i identify as um kristin funk says we need
00:45:20.380 matt to do a segment on velma nothing i want to see more than matt put mindy kaling to task uh i'm only
00:45:27.520 even vaguely aware of the velma so i know that people are upset about velma velma is what is it
00:45:34.380 the netflix or maybe it's hbo max something like that one of the streaming services did a spin-off of
00:45:39.400 scooby-doo that's a cartoon and in the spin-off number one i mean the first problem is that from
00:45:45.920 what i've been told um scooby-doo is is not even featured at all in the show so they've taken scooby-doo
00:45:54.160 out and it all focuses around velma who's like a lesbian and genderqueer or whatever and they put
00:45:59.900 a bunch of woke uh stuff into it and all the rest of it um and they've also made this a cartoon
00:46:06.760 that's targeted supposedly towards you know adults although i'm sure there are plenty of kids watching
00:46:12.320 it um that's all i know about it i really have nothing interesting to say about it other than
00:46:18.280 this is yet more evidence of the fact that all we get from hollywood is a is a bunch of garbage um
00:46:26.700 and like even if it was you know what even if it was a faithful spin-off of scooby-doo i would object
00:46:35.160 to it even without i mean with all the woke stuff that's disgusting and abhorrent and it doesn't belong
00:46:41.640 in a cartoon especially because even if they claim it's targeted towards older people it's still you're
00:46:46.860 gonna end up with kids watching it so that doesn't belong there but um even without that like do we
00:46:52.940 need another you have all these franchises with a million spin-offs and everything was there ever
00:46:58.520 that much meat on the bone to begin with you take something like scooby-doo you know it was a it was a
00:47:04.220 vaguely amusing cartoon came out decades ago there was never that much meat on the bone there's not
00:47:10.160 there's not enough content there to support a decades-long franchise with films and spin-offs
00:47:18.480 and different shows and everything just let it rest let it go
00:47:23.120 uh and rodrigo says i have to disagree about your anxiety rant while i agree the teacher didn't manage
00:47:32.580 the situation the best way anxiety or more uh specifically chronic anxiety is a mental disorder
00:47:38.240 while normal anxiety has a clear and reasonable reason for it and if that reason disappears
00:47:43.460 the anxiety disappears chronic anxiety does not have any of that while normal anxiety is like fear
00:47:50.400 an alarm that signals something stressful chronic anxiety is like a phobia a broken alarm that needs
00:47:56.140 to be fixed but i kind of agree that not all problems like this should be fixed with drugs
00:47:59.920 we don't understand all the brain still so a lot of drugs affect that in other ways we still don't
00:48:05.400 understand fully that's a problem in the over medicated society in the u.s okay yeah i understand
00:48:11.780 that you you you are laying out the uh the assertions that are made in favor of treating uh anxiety as a
00:48:18.740 medical condition and in favor of inventing this uh illness called anxiety disorder so you you have you
00:48:25.040 have yes you have i think correctly laid out the series of assertions that's supposed to support that
00:48:30.840 but these are not arguments these are just this is just an assertion um and you haven't addressed any
00:48:38.180 of the actual problems that this raises so to begin with well you know you have anxiety that exists uh
00:48:47.360 for a good reason and then you have anxiety that exists for uh for not a good reason well who who
00:48:54.040 determines first of all who determines what is an appropriate reason to feel anxiety who who exactly
00:49:02.080 is in a position well the psychiatrists and the medical industry they decided who why do they get
00:49:09.460 to decide that what how are they experts in in what are good reasons and reasonable reasons to feel
00:49:16.960 anxious here here's a list of reasons why you should feel anxious if you're anxious for these reasons you
00:49:22.820 shouldn't feel anxious and that's an illness do you not see how totally arbitrary that is
00:49:28.100 are we not supposed to sit back and say well who where are you getting this from why are you the
00:49:33.260 authority on this just because you have doctor in front of your name does that that makes you an expert
00:49:37.500 on something as on a question as as big as you know what are the appropriate reasons to feel anxiety
00:49:48.020 so who why do they get to determine that what are they basing those determinations on
00:49:55.700 and also even if we could all agree i don't know by majority vote or some democratic process that
00:50:03.940 uh there are you know there there are unreasonable anxieties that people feel
00:50:09.860 well that in and of itself doesn't prove that it's an illness
00:50:13.780 you know maybe there are unreasonable anxieties i think that there are sure
00:50:18.800 but maybe that's also part of being a human being is to experience unreasonable anxieties
00:50:23.540 and here's another question too and i and i you know i've made the same point about depression and
00:50:30.260 i think it's the case of with anxiety as well
00:50:33.440 and this is something people don't like to just the possibility people don't like to think about
00:50:38.640 okay but what if you know if you're feeling anxious and you can't identify an exact reason for it
00:50:46.480 what if life itself is a reason to be anxious what if simply existing as a mortal human being
00:50:56.680 is reason enough to feel anxiety
00:51:00.860 just like with depression what if there are just realities about our the human condition
00:51:08.120 that can sometimes cause people to feel despair now that doesn't mean
00:51:12.800 that you should feel anxious all the time or you should be in despair all the time obviously you
00:51:16.700 shouldn't it also doesn't mean that you shouldn't look for for help if you're struggling with these
00:51:19.800 feelings i'm not saying that either all i'm saying is that uh maybe people who are feeling depressed
00:51:26.860 or feeling anxious they're not like diseased and they're not even being unreasonable
00:51:31.180 it's just it's it is it is tough to exist as a human being there are many things about life that
00:51:38.000 create anxiety let's start with the reality of death i mean the fact that death hovers over all of us
00:51:43.860 all the time and we know that eventually it will come and claim us and we will cease to exist
00:51:49.120 in the physical realm i mean that alone is something that can make people feel anxious and you can feel
00:51:55.780 anxious about that anytime and uh it might be in a kind of ambiguous amorphous way where you don't really
00:52:00.760 understand where the feelings are rooted from but maybe that's part of it i mean um so maybe these
00:52:06.280 are things that come with the human condition which again just because something is uh fundamental to
00:52:12.120 the human condition it doesn't mean that we shouldn't do anything to um help ourselves you know deal with
00:52:18.960 those realities but it does mean that just labeling it a disease and trying to solve the problem with a pill
00:52:26.380 might not be you know the the best approach uh it certainly might not get to the root of the problem
00:52:36.000 you know this weekend uh you probably didn't know because i just learned in this moment right now
00:52:40.980 is the grammys and if you're a true member of the spg you're aware of the outsized share of influence
00:52:47.220 pop culture has on my life i am a pop culture fanatic everyone says that about me although my affinity
00:52:54.660 for televised award ceremonies is widely recognized it's my notorious status as a rap mogul that gives
00:53:00.520 this award show truly venerable significance in the sweet baby gang i perused the nominees and sadly
00:53:06.040 um i wasn't among them probably because i don't have anything that could possibly be nominated for it but
00:53:10.660 still it's a grave injustice um that uh my hip-hop forefathers pooh shiesty and spot-em-got-em have also
00:53:18.120 endured and now i'm experiencing the same thing all this to say i'm proud to announce the newest
00:53:23.160 sweet baby album t-shirt which is which i have uh with me right now it is hopefully you can see
00:53:29.440 this in the thing it is the notorious spg and uh the great thing is that this is not a copyright

00:54:45.920 well on wednesdays for our members blog portion of the show i answer emails from listeners looking
00:54:54.340 for advice and i also sometimes issue corrections to the bad advice offered by people on other forums
00:54:59.100 especially uh tiktok and the bad advice videos are curated by my producer mckenna and sent to me
00:55:03.920 at which point i uh go through them all and that's when i become depressed and disgusted
00:55:08.080 and the light inside me dies a little more but at least it makes good content and that's how the
00:55:12.620 creative process works but yesterday uh i was sent one bad advice video that is so bad
00:55:17.860 in which i found so viscerally abhorrent and repulsive that it immediately graduated from
00:55:22.840 members block fodder to the daily cancellation this of course is the greatest honor i can bestow
00:55:26.940 on a terrible person and we have a very terrible person for today's segment jessica ashley
00:55:31.540 bills herself as a divorce coach this is apparently an actual industry
00:55:35.280 that exists in our country after a brief google search i discovered there are many divorce coaches
00:55:40.580 and divorce consultants charging exorbitant hourly rates to encourage and facilitate the dissolution
00:55:45.740 of marriages divorce coaches should not be confused with divorce lawyers these are two different
00:55:51.560 species of blood-sucking parasites think of one as kind of like a deer tick and the other is a dog
00:55:56.160 tick and even the ticks have ticks as there are now many pricey online certification programs offered
00:56:01.960 for those who want to become certified in the field of divorce coaching so if you wish to be a
00:56:06.640 certified a certifier of certified divorce coach then you get then you have to do that if you want
00:56:12.720 to be a certifier of people who are certifying divorce coaches there are probably different
00:56:16.540 programs for that and if you want to coach people who certify the people who certify the people who
00:56:21.200 are divorce coaches again there is i assume a program for that one thing we've learned about the
00:56:25.460 modern modern culture is that for every evil for every brand of misery there are a million
00:56:29.980 vultures circling looking for a way to make a fast buck on someone else's poor life choices
00:56:35.720 in fact there is so much misery and so many soulless profiteers trying to monetize it that it becomes a
00:56:41.640 kind of parasitic infinite regress and somewhere in this garbage heap lies jessica ashley who offers
00:56:48.080 three-month and six-month divorce subscription services she's also on call by the way ready for
00:56:53.360 her phone or facetime consultations for anyone desperate and stupid enough to pay the money for it
00:56:57.380 and sorry fellas i gotta tell you she does stipulate that she is a divorce coach for moms
00:57:02.460 specifically her website tagline is a mom's best girlfriend in divorce though i strongly suspect
00:57:09.380 that the market for divorce coaches consists almost entirely of women anyway it's like if the cupcake
00:57:13.560 wine company stipulated that it was just for women you know it's already kind of implied by the nature
00:57:17.780 of the product but jessica has developed a relatively sizable social media following consisting entirely of
00:57:23.760 the sorts of women who have been you know would have been probably tried and convicted of witchcraft
00:57:27.920 if they'd been born in a different era these are women who who can't get enough of this kind of stuff
00:57:34.360 listen the very best piece of advice i've ever received about divorce came in the early days of
00:57:39.820 my own divorce from a friend who'd never been divorced and in fact wasn't even married at the time
00:57:44.520 she said something so powerful really got in there and it still rings true today and i share it with
00:57:49.960 my divorce coaching clients often here's the best piece of divorce advice i've ever heard
00:57:54.760 your life is bigger than one man let's extend it your life is bigger than one relationship
00:58:02.540 one marriage one moment in time even if that relationship comes with good intentions and oodles
00:58:08.900 of love and big dreams and a home and kids and memories and vacations what happens if you release
00:58:15.680 your grasp that this relationship defines the whole of you and the whole of your life to see
00:58:22.520 what could come next what is happening now there was a time before this relationship you are heading
00:58:29.160 into the next part what are the possibilities that extend far beyond this one person now the people in
00:58:36.180 the comment section are absolutely blown away by these platitudes that jessica plagiarized from the
00:58:40.840 slogans on inspirational keychains at a gift shop somewhere she's like some kind of feminist bumper
00:58:46.480 sticker and yet many of the commenters claim that they were reduced to tears by jessica's recitation of
00:58:52.720 modernist cliches one woman said that the video had saved her life which is which is like having your
00:58:59.860 life saved by a fortune cookie worst of all the cliches aren't true because if you are betraying your
00:59:05.340 vows and dismantling your marriage and running out on your husband and hurting your children in pursuit of
00:59:09.780 your own personal happiness you are not bigger than the moment um there are moments in life
00:59:14.600 that make us who we are moments that tell us and tell the world who we really are and if you're
00:59:20.600 following jessica ashley's advice then you will answer that moment by announcing yourself to be a
00:59:26.500 disloyal self-centered shallow superficial narcissist you are not bigger than the moment you are defined
00:59:32.660 by it the whole point of marriage is that two become one and when you say i do to your spouse
00:59:38.340 you are entering into something that is bigger than you and from this union springs a family and
00:59:44.220 children and a whole life you could never live on your own you're not bigger than that if you shrink
00:59:49.900 away from that commitment that that that's uh that sacred institution that you've entered into it's not
00:59:55.040 because you're bigger than it but because you are smaller than it you are too small too hollow to grasp
01:00:00.500 the happiness that can be found in loyalty and fidelity to your family in the same way if you visit the
01:00:06.540 sistine chapel and you find that you're bored or unimpressed by the site it's not because you're
01:00:11.660 too significant or too big to appreciate it right it's because you're you're such a small-minded
01:00:16.460 brain-dead idiot that you can't recognize beauty when you're standing in its presence
01:00:20.840 that's why none of the divorced cat ladies who pay jessica for for consultations will go on to
01:00:27.080 achieve great things or contribute to the world in any important way none of them will now they say
01:00:32.260 they're getting they're divorced and they're free now and they can go out into the world and do all
01:00:36.480 these impressive things they're not going to do anything instead they'll wind up dating a bunch
01:00:40.200 of pathetic men desperate enough to see them as romantic options and they'll argue with their
01:00:44.600 ex-husbands and they'll watch a lot of tv and they'll be promoted to middle management and they'll
01:00:48.420 make you know 140 000 a year and they'll feel very accomplished and they'll spend their money on
01:00:53.360 consumer products and cat food and they'll tell themselves a story about the journey they've been on but
01:00:58.200 that journey will be about as interesting and unique as a hallmark greeting card less interesting
01:01:03.120 actually because at least a hallmark card is something that you buy to express gratitude
01:01:06.720 towards some other person in your life but the women who listen to jessica ashley are far more
01:01:12.540 focused on expressing gratitude towards themselves they are collapsing into themselves sucked into the
01:01:18.040 vortex of their own egos the human equivalent of dying stars slowly evolving into black holes
01:01:24.260 except that you know entire galaxies really do revolve around actual black holes in the case of
01:01:29.960 these women that's how they see themselves but it's not the reality now jessica has more wisdom to
01:01:35.720 offer though in another video she tries to explain why men might change during the course of a marriage
01:01:41.820 here's her theory have you ever asked why your husband is radically changed why he seems like a
01:01:48.140 completely different person than he was in the early days of marriage before kids or maybe even
01:01:53.340 before you got married have you looked back over the last few years with a fine tooth comb and
01:01:58.920 everything said and done looking for the perfect clue an incident or event that will help bring rationale
01:02:04.560 to why he has turned so hateful in his words and action when you entered into this union with such love
01:02:11.800 have you desperately sought out the perfect things for you to say or do that will get this marriage
01:02:18.240 back on track that will get him back on track that will maybe be the cure marriage counseling or a
01:02:24.880 couple's retreat or maybe a change in meds now certainly trauma grief mental health issues illness
01:02:30.720 injury so many things can cause us to be an axe totally differently but sometimes people's masks get
01:02:37.900 too heavy and they fall off and they reveal who they really are now sure okay that might be true
01:02:44.100 in some cases there are some men who essentially dupe their wives into marriage sociopaths who hide
01:02:50.060 their true nature their true selves uh there are women who do this also you know that that can happen
01:02:55.200 in a marriage but if you're a woman whose husband seems to have grown miserable and angry during the
01:03:01.440 course of your marriage you should also consider the very real possibility that he has become that sort of
01:03:07.720 man in response to the sort of woman you are um you should at least consider that possibility that is a
01:03:15.140 that is a potential explanation that you must take into account and if you're the sort of woman who
01:03:22.020 is inclined to seek counsel from a cliche spewing divorce coach on tiktok it seems rather likely that
01:03:28.480 your miserable angry quote hateful husband has been broken down by years spent trying to please the
01:03:35.160 shallow egotistical wench he married again i'm obviously not saying this is always the case i'm
01:03:40.120 simply saying that it's a possibility you have to take into consideration because as men you know we
01:03:45.940 very much want our wives to support us to be proud of us um we might not express that desire out loud in
01:03:52.680 fact we probably will never say that we aren't generally generally very adept at vocalizing those
01:03:57.120 kinds of emotions and desires but when a man comes home from his from work and you know his wife gives
01:04:02.080 him a kiss and says hi honey i'm so glad you're home or you know when his wife comes up to him at the blue
01:04:07.060 and says that she's she's proud of him and grateful for how hard he works um something like that that
01:04:13.060 that man will immediately be on cloud nine he will feel appreciated and respected and loved this is what
01:04:19.740 women need to understand about men you don't need to give us very much to make us happy we just need your
01:04:25.720 affection we and we'll never tell you that we'll never verbalize it but that's what we need that's what we
01:04:31.040 want we actually want to feel appreciated and loved by our wives if you can believe it that's that's
01:04:38.300 something that men in a marriage really want um let me let me give you let me give you a secret
01:04:44.840 here's the cheat code this is what every man wants okay this is this is how you make him happy
01:04:48.660 he wants to walk in the door after work and his children run up to him and say hi daddy and they give
01:04:54.640 him a hug and his wife comes over and smiles and kisses him dinner's on the stove everyone is happy
01:04:59.400 and glad to see him i mean and that's all it really is as simple as that that's that's if a man has that
01:05:05.680 he has almost everything he needs in the world of course now it can't be like that every day and every
01:05:11.920 family is different every situation is different uh it might be a situation where maybe both spouses
01:05:15.960 have to work especially in this economy uh maybe the man works a different shift so he's not really
01:05:20.740 coming home at dinner time anyway my point is simply to convey to you how easy it is to make a man
01:05:26.880 happy how simple our desires actually are how comparatively little we actually want
01:05:32.880 um how love and affection and gratitude are the things that we really need in our marriage
01:05:39.760 so if your husband seems bitter and angry you might consider whether you have given him
01:05:47.000 any of those things anytime recently or at all
01:05:52.300 or you could just assume that he's a sociopathic monster who was wearing a mask
01:05:57.580 and only let it slip after years of marriage that could be the case
01:06:01.300 but if you assume it's the case there's probably a rather self-serving reason for that
