The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1183 - The Plot By LGBT Activists To Stigmatize Sanity And Normalcy

00:00:00.160 Today on the Matt Wall Show, LGBT activists have been pushing the word cisgender to describe

00:00:04.140 normal people who identify as the sex that they actually are. Elon Musk says that the word will

00:00:08.820 now be considered a slur on Twitter. He's right that it is a slur, but it's also more than that.

00:00:12.580 It's part of a plot hatched decades ago by pedophiles and other depraved lunatics

00:00:16.920 to stigmatize normalcy. We'll discuss that. Also, we have the latest on the story of the

00:00:21.920 lost submersible that set out to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. And our Daily Cancellation

00:00:26.140 will deal with the story of the life coach who learned to love herself by abandoning her

00:00:30.600 cancer-stricken husband. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.940 You know, it takes a special kind of company to want to partner with my show. I say a lot of

00:00:45.900 things that make a lot of people angry, as you probably noticed, and this tends to scare off

00:00:49.100 advertisers. That's why I'm so grateful to partners like Pure Talk who stand behind me and my show,

00:00:53.660 no matter the consequences they might face. Pure Talk shares my values, which is why we've made

00:00:58.360 them the official cell phone wireless partner of The Daily Wire. That's not the only reason. Pure

00:01:35.740 On Tuesday, two days ago, Elon Musk announced that effective immediately, the words cis and cisgender

00:01:42.160 will be considered slurs on Twitter. Going forward, Musk said anyone who uses either of those words as

00:01:47.380 part of a coordinated harassment campaign risks suspension on the platform. Now, even apart from

00:01:53.120 any targeted harassment campaign, Musk said tweets that disparage other users for being quote cis or

00:01:58.980 quote cisgender will get less visibility on the platform. Now, if you didn't graduate from a liberal

00:02:05.220 arts college in the last six years or so, if you're not fortunate enough to, if you're fortunate enough

00:02:10.260 to not to receive regular lectures from your employer's HR department, what you just heard is

00:02:15.200 probably sort of incomprehensible. It might as well be another language because it basically is.

00:02:20.220 What's a cisgender, you might be thinking, and why does any of that matter? Is there anything else

00:02:24.760 going on in the world? Who cares about some Twitter policy about a couple of made-up words? Those are

00:02:29.560 fair questions. But the unfortunate reality is that for most Americans, the words cis and cisgender are now

00:02:35.380 all over the place. Even if you're somehow insulated from this insanity, your kids probably aren't.

00:02:40.160 Whether it's in elementary schools or colleges or workplaces, these words are

00:02:44.000 presented as scientific terms with real medically established meanings. And all this happened or

00:02:51.600 seemed to happen very suddenly. Nobody could define cis or cisgender until just a few years ago. You

00:02:58.020 take a look at a chart of Google Trends, you'll notice that until around 2014, nobody on the planet had

00:03:04.000 any interest in searching the internet for the word cisgender. And then all of a sudden, there was a huge

00:03:09.520 spike. And interest has only increased since then. This isn't a phenomenon that we can just ignore,

00:03:15.120 as tempting as that might be. So where does this come from? You know, well, at first blush, it's kind

00:03:21.300 of hard to say. What we do know is that coincidentally, around the time that people suddenly started

00:03:25.720 Googling the word cisgender, which by the way, simply means a normal person who identifies as the

00:03:32.300 sex that they are. That's what cisgender is. If you're accused of being cisgender, what they're

00:03:36.860 saying is, oh, you're normal. But it was around this time that corporate media outlets began promoting

00:03:41.380 the word and all of its variants. Here's a video, just for example, from CBS News in 2017,

00:03:46.520 explaining the terminology to the masses. Listen.

00:03:50.160 Using the term cis is a term that says, I recognize that trans people exist. So it's a very intentional

00:03:59.880 term that demonstrates awareness, and I would say care, to say that trans people matter.

00:04:08.880 So I know that when I talk to people and they say they're cis, they are recognizing me and

00:04:13.740 they're recognizing everybody else in the transgender community.

00:04:16.440 Do you think that identifying as cisgender is something that everybody should do who identifies

00:04:21.140 with their given gender at birth? I think after some self-exploration, they should at least

00:04:29.740 consider it if they believe themselves to be an ally for the LGBTQIA community.

00:04:34.860 So what CBS News is saying there in the clip is that anyone who willingly calls himself a cisgender

00:04:40.680 person is someone who believes that, quote, trans people matter. They're allies.

00:04:46.440 Of the LGBTQ community. Which, by the way, notice this as well, that what trans people are insisting

00:04:52.980 is that you change the way you describe them in order to affirm them, right? We know that. You have

00:04:58.740 to change your perception of them and thus of reality, really, to affirm them. But it goes farther

00:05:04.720 than that because they also want you to change the way you describe yourself for the sake of affirming

00:05:10.820 them. So your own perception of yourself and the way that you talk about yourself must be changed

00:05:18.960 for their sake. Which means that in the clearest possible term, CBS is admitting that this is not

00:05:24.880 a biological designation. It has no basis in science. It's a signaling mechanism. It tells you

00:05:30.400 the politics of a person who uses the word. If someone says they're cisgender, it's the equivalent of

00:05:35.220 seeing pronouns in their Twitter bio. At the very least, you know, they're not voting for Ron DeSantis

00:05:40.160 or Donald Trump. But what about people who don't voluntarily call themselves cisgender? What are we

00:05:45.700 to make of them? Well, within about a year of that CBS video, NBC News put out a video that addresses

00:05:51.160 the non-believers, you know, the heretics who still have not gotten with the program. Watch this and see

00:05:59.180 if you can detect the change in tone as compared with the CBS footage from a few months before it.

00:06:05.120 Watch. Gender identity is like a game show and doctors are the contestants. When each of us are

00:06:10.740 born, a doctor takes one look at us and makes a guess about what our gender identity will be.

00:06:16.120 Well, I see a penis, so I think that this baby will grow up to be a man. Did I get it right?

00:06:22.540 If you're cisgender, it means that the doctor guessed your gender identity correctly at birth,

00:06:29.580 that you actually like the letter that the doctor put on your birth certificate when you were born.

00:06:34.340 If you're trans, though, it probably went more like this.

00:06:38.880 Ah, well, this baby has a vagina, so I'm going to guess that she will grow up to be a woman.

00:06:46.020 Did I get it?

00:06:47.780 Dang it, I knew I should have guessed genderqueer.

00:06:50.100 The thing about cisgender people is that a lot of y'all like to act like you're the normal ones,

00:06:55.620 but I've got news for you. There's no such thing as a normal gender. Cis people just got lucky.

00:07:01.740 The doctor guessed your gender correctly when you were a baby, so you grew up in a world that

00:07:05.880 treated you as you wanted to be treated. But that doesn't change the fact that, at the end of the

00:07:10.660 day, a large part of the difference between cis people and trans people comes down to a guess

00:07:16.120 that a doctor made when we were babies.

00:07:19.840 Yes, biology is a game show, you see. The doctor just guesses what gender you are. It's totally

00:07:25.480 random. It's not based on anything. And then, of course, the key quote, which is,

00:07:29.380 the thing about cisgender people is a lot of y'all like to act like you're the normal ones,

00:07:33.760 but I've got news for you. There's no such thing as a normal gender. You just got lucky.

00:07:37.880 Okay. There is, and the key part of that is there is no such thing as normal. If I had to summarize

00:07:45.160 the LGBT cult's agenda, you know, its mantra in one sentence, that would be it. There is no such

00:07:52.640 thing as normal. But the bitterness you can detect in that video isn't exactly subtle. And now a few

00:07:57.640 years later, it's spilled out into the open. Gender cultists all over the world openly mock and harass

00:08:02.280 people for being, quote, cis. If you're cis, they tell you that means you have privilege. You were

00:08:06.560 born with advantages and are therefore lesser. It's like being born with the wrong skin color,

00:08:11.500 as we know. Through no fault of your own, you're worthy of scorn. Taken together, the NBC and CBS

00:08:16.800 clips send a clear message. If you're not interested in cutting off your breasts or chopping off your

00:08:21.700 penis or sterilizing yourself with hormones, then you're a member of a disfavored group.

00:08:26.220 The best you can do is be an ally and a promoter for people who hate you and who hate themselves.

00:08:31.440 And again, remember, everything about you should be restructured to affirm nothing about you is

00:08:39.560 actually about you. You see, it's all about them always. Your whole existence is all about affirming

00:08:47.280 them. When Elon Musk called cis a slur, this is the phenomenon that he's referring to. And in many

00:08:53.500 respects, he's absolutely right. The promotion of this word, which began out of nowhere just a few

00:08:56.620 years ago, is clearly an effort to delegitimize hundreds of millions of Americans who did nothing

00:09:02.740 wrong in their lives whatsoever. That's the very definition of a slur. On top of that, these words

00:09:07.920 are also a way for true believers to, you know, their signposts to signal their political allegiance,

00:09:14.340 as well as their subservience. Calling yourself cisgender, it's like flying a pride flag in front of

00:09:19.340 your home. Everyone understands the implications. But the language in those NBC and CBS clips raise a lot

00:09:26.360 of unanswered questions. And here's the big one. Why did corporate media decide to start promoting

00:09:30.980 this newspeak all at once around six years ago? What are they getting all out of, you know, all this

00:09:35.680 from? Where are they getting it from? What do they get out of it? Did they just invent the words out of

00:09:41.000 thin air? Conspicuously enough, they don't say. They don't tell you anything about the origins of this

00:09:46.120 nonsense. They never do. Okay? Of all the things that they're constantly insisting, what they never do is

00:09:52.320 tell you, oh, here's where we got this from. Here's who we got this from. Instead, they parade

00:09:58.660 activists in front of the camera to pretend to be doctors who tell you what to think about all this.

00:10:04.760 That's your first clue that the cis newspeak is more than a slur or a signaling mechanism. In fact,

00:10:09.720 it's part of a much larger psyop to denigrate normalcy and to undermine the basic moral tenets that

00:10:16.300 have held American society together for generations. That's the real point behind calling someone cis.

00:10:22.640 is to brand them as just one possible variation. When you're called cis, you are, against your will,

00:10:29.980 placed on a spectrum along with trans and non-binary and other made-up identities.

00:10:35.040 You have been conscripted into all this, whether you like it or not.

00:10:40.000 Now, let's consider what CBS and NBC didn't show you in their little explainers on cisgenderism.

00:10:45.420 Look up the first mention of the word cisgender in recorded history. All of corporate media somehow

00:10:52.380 neglect to mention this part of it when they start pushing cis and cisgender, when they started doing

00:10:57.680 this six years ago. But we do know where it came from because all these terms have originators. They

00:11:04.480 were coined by people. We know who those people were. Well, as Genevieve Gluck, who's the founder of the

00:11:09.140 media outlet Redux, explained this week, the term cisgender originates with a German sexologist

00:11:14.460 and physician named Volkmar Sigush. And he came up with the term cis-sexual, which then evolved into

00:11:21.900 cisgender, in a 1991 publication called Transsexuals and Our Nosemorific View. And he wrote, quote,

00:11:28.980 Speaking of cis-sexuals, if they are transsexuals, logically there must be cis-sexuals. One is not

00:11:35.020 to be thought without the other at all. I've allowed myself to introduce the terms cis-sexualism,

00:11:39.940 cis-sexuals, cisgender, etc. So he's the guy who came up with it. That's where it comes from.

00:11:46.440 Who is Volkmar Sigush? He's considered one of the most influential figures of the sexual revolution.

00:11:51.120 He's also on the record saying that pedophiles have a, quote, enlightened mental state.

00:11:56.080 Quote, this is him now, quote, It's been my experience that you can reach your objective

00:12:01.280 with what I would call kind-hearted, informed, and enlightened patients, in the sense that they

00:12:05.600 don't lose their desire, but that they no longer have physical contact with children.

00:12:10.520 That's a quote from the grandfather of the cis terminology, saying that when a patient tells

00:12:16.200 you he wants to have sex with children, the objective is to make sure that he doesn't lose

00:12:21.360 his desire. That's not the extent. That's not the full extent of Sigush's perversions.

00:12:26.820 Dagmar Herzog, who wrote Sex After Fascism, explained that Sigush also argued in favor of

00:12:31.880 exposing children to pornography. As Herzog put it, quote, Volkmar Sigush and Gunter Schmidt

00:12:37.820 argued provocatively that the representation of sex, per se, did no damage to youth or children,

00:12:42.880 and that the kind of pornography in which sex was represented without prejudices as a pleasure-filled

00:12:47.100 social activity, is exactly the kind that one could, without worries, give to children and

00:12:52.140 adolescents. So you had people back then arguing for exposing children to pornography, which is

00:12:58.580 exactly what's happening in schools right now. Interesting. It's almost like none of this is a

00:13:03.120 coincidence. It's almost like this has been an agenda that's been in place for decades.

00:13:08.300 Sigush went on to argue that, quote, Adding taboos to childish eroticism creates what we all want

00:13:13.220 to prevent sexual violence. And Sigush went on to say, quote, There's nothing wrong with pedophilia

00:13:18.900 in the sense of the word that is against liking even loving children. The sensuality that spontaneously

00:13:23.660 unfolds between a child and an adult is something wonderful, he says. Nothing can remind us more

00:13:28.640 intensely of the paradises of childhood. Nothing is pure and more harmless than this eroticism of the

00:13:33.480 body and the heart. Childish eroticism is not only full of delights, it's also necessary,

00:13:38.800 he wrote. Now, this is the guy who invented the fake terms cis and cisgender that you're now told

00:13:45.220 to take very seriously. Every single person who unironically uses these terms, they are speaking

00:13:51.560 off of a script that was assigned to them by a pedophile. Is that a coincidence? Well, if you're

00:13:59.500 tempted to think that it is, you should know that Sigush is not an outlier. The left's entire sexual

00:14:04.700 agenda, along with many of the buzzwords they use, all of it was invented by pedophiles and

00:14:11.560 demented sexologists, many of them German, as it happens, in the 20th century. That's where it all

00:14:16.200 comes from. Consider Sigush's contemporary, the Berlin-based sexologist Hilmut Kentler. Now,

00:14:22.540 around the same time that Sigush and his colleagues were arguing that children should be exposed to

00:14:25.720 pornography, Kentler placed foster children in the homes of pedophiles that he knew personally.

00:14:31.300 And he intentionally placed these children in the homes of pedophiles. Here's one documentary on

00:14:38.040 YouTube that explained the, quote, study. Watch. Believing strongly in the link between emancipation

00:14:44.820 and maturity, he then pitched a prominent study that continued to shape his career. This study

00:14:51.020 initially involved taking three troubled youths from foster care with the consent of their parents.

00:14:56.820 It claimed that the extended period of time away from their family would help to guide them onto a

00:15:02.600 straighter path. He also held the belief that this arrangement would help the childless adults

00:15:07.640 learn to become more loving foster parents. After his death in 2008, however, several allegations

00:15:16.420 started to seep out of the woodwork, stemming from first-hand statements of the afflicted youths

00:15:22.280 themselves. Kentler, under the disguise of rehabilitation, had placed them with known

00:15:28.780 pedophiles in hopes that the affection shown to them would help establish a mental relationship.

00:15:36.520 Now, Kentler's experiment was not rejected by the medical community or political leaders in Berlin.

00:15:42.120 In fact, the Berlin government endorsed the whole thing. In the 1980s, the German parliament invited

00:15:46.400 Kentler to speak about his findings. Kentler reported that, quote,

00:15:49.080 these people, meaning the adult, only endured these moronic boys because they were in love and

00:15:54.520 infatuated with them, unquote. Now, none of that bothered politicians in Germany. Kentler wasn't

00:15:59.540 dragged out of parliament in handcuffs. The German government celebrated what he did. Nearly everything

00:16:04.900 the left says about sexuality and gender can be traced back to this depraved community of 20th

00:16:11.780 century sexologists and psychologists. We've already talked plenty about Alfred Kinsey, who worked with

00:16:16.460 pedophiles to conduct, quote, unquote, research on, quote, unquote, children's orgasms. And John Money,

00:16:23.600 who forced children to perform sex acts in front of him. And then there's Magnus Hirschfeld, who opened

00:16:28.160 up one of the first so-called transgender clinics, who also believed in eugenics and sterilizing his own

00:16:33.300 patients. There's also Erwin Gorbrandt, the sex reassignment surgeon, who also conducted hypothermia

00:16:39.720 experiments on prisoners in concentration camps. And he's a favorite of trans activists, too.

00:16:44.300 All of these men had out in the open agendas to normalize depravity and stigmatize normalcy.

00:16:52.440 It took decades to achieve it, but they did finally achieve it.

00:16:57.060 And along the way, every physician in the country recognized what was happening. John Ollivan,

00:17:02.060 for example, is the first person known to use the word transgender. And here's how he described the

00:17:07.180 phenomenon of transgenderism in the 1965 book, Sexual Hygiene and Pathology. Here's what he said,

00:17:12.940 quote, where the compulsive urge reaches beyond female vestments and becomes an urge for gender

00:17:18.360 change, transvestitism becomes transsexualism. The term is misleading. Actually, transgenderism is

00:17:24.660 what is meant, because sexuality is not a major factor in primary transvesticism.

00:17:30.320 Ollivan went on to note that transgenders often amounted to, quote, desperately pleading primary

00:17:35.060 transvestites who may also employ pseudoscientific reasoning or even threats of suicide.

00:17:40.460 These transvestites have turned to veterinarians and to abortionists with a request for castration,

00:17:45.820 and a few to force the surgeon's hand have crudely amputated all or part of their scrotum.

00:17:50.560 However, others have mutilated themselves in an extreme near psychotic panic state.

00:17:55.520 Now, you don't hear John Ollivan's descriptions of transgenderism very much anymore,

00:18:00.000 nor do you hear much about Virginia Prince, who's widely credited with popularizing the term

00:18:04.140 transgender in the late 1960s. Who was Prince? Well, he was a self-loathing homosexual who despised

00:18:09.600 women and other gay people. In their book, Richard Eakins and David King wrote that Prince's

00:18:14.200 organizations always excluded, quote, bondage or masochistic people, amateur investigators,

00:18:19.980 curiosity seekers, homosexuals, transsexuals, or emotionally disturbed people.

00:18:24.820 Now, this is the history that trans activists never tell you about. All the terms they bombard you

00:18:31.100 with, cis, trans, and so on, were concocted decades ago by the most contemptible and perverted

00:18:37.460 members of society. None of this is an accident. Ultimately, the plan is to redefine all of human

00:18:43.760 existence through the LGBT lens. Cisgender rebrands normal men and women as just one variation,

00:18:50.880 one gender identity. We all end up in the pride rainbow, whether we like it or not.

00:18:56.360 That's the overarching goal. It has been since the beginning, which is why we see this everywhere.

00:19:02.360 This week, Men's Health pushed the term gynosexual to describe men who are attracted to women,

00:19:07.940 you know, otherwise known as normal straight guys. Now you're a gynosexual. Put a G in the LGBT

00:19:13.880 acronym. Meanwhile, the guy who invented the hideous progress pride flag, which is like the most recent

00:19:19.880 pride flag, which is even uglier than the original, he came out with a new variation that now includes

00:19:24.400 autistic people. Autistic people are now part of the LGBT club. One by one, each group is drafted

00:19:31.740 into the cause, dragged into it, kicking and screaming. They did this with intersex people

00:19:36.400 years ago. Suddenly, people unlucky enough to be born with genital defects find themselves as members

00:19:41.040 of the LGBT club. They have their own pride flag. Whether they wanted one or not, they got it.

00:19:45.940 All of this traces back to the godfathers of this movement, who were, almost to a man,

00:19:50.080 child abusing perverts, who had an open agenda to stigmatize normalcy, to sexualize children. That

00:19:58.340 was always the goal from the very beginning. All of these people, this is what they wanted to do.

00:20:03.840 These are mad scientists who invented all of the concepts that trans activists push today,

00:20:08.540 invented them mostly, again, to normalize and excuse their own sexual proclivities and perversions.

00:20:14.420 The terminology you're bombarded with, it's not just a slur or a signaling mechanism. I mean,

00:20:18.360 it is that, but it's also part of an effort to destroy the foundational elements of this country.

00:20:24.780 An effort that was invented by some of the most evil people this world has ever seen.

00:20:29.820 And it's been going on for a very long time. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:22:02.000 Daily Wire has the latest on the story of the trapped submersible. Time ran out for the passengers

00:22:10.900 on the Titan submersible on Thursday morning, according to estimates from officials. According

00:22:15.280 to the U.S. Coast Guard, the oxygen supply on submersible, which aimed to see the wreck of the

00:22:19.760 Titanic, would evaporate fully at roughly 7 or 8 a.m. on Thursday, which is long past now, of course.

00:22:27.300 Joyce Murray, Canada's Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard, said,

00:22:31.700 we have to retain hope as part of what we're doing as a human community to find the explorers

00:22:35.600 and bring them to safety. There were experts who cautioned against the premature determination

00:22:39.720 of the exact time the oxygen would be depleted completely. And of course, the assumption is

00:22:46.840 that oxygen would be depleted this morning, but we actually don't really know that. That also rests

00:22:53.700 on the assumption that if anybody is still alive in the submersible, that all of them are alive.

00:22:59.800 And if they're not all alive, then oxygen will last longer. So there's, of course, still a lot

00:23:07.120 that's very much unknown. And they do finally have other submarines on the scene, ones that have

00:23:16.300 mechanical arms and that sort of thing that could attach a cable to the submersible to lift it up,

00:23:20.080 if they can even find it, if the thing hasn't imploded by now, which is a very good chance that

00:23:24.260 it just imploded on descent. And now it's in a million pieces and will never be found. There's a good

00:23:29.520 chance we'll never know exactly what happened. But obviously, hopefully they do find it.

00:23:35.980 You know, as we've been talking about this, and I talked about it yesterday,

00:23:39.080 and I guess a couple of points I wanted to make, or in some cases reiterate. And

00:23:47.560 yesterday I was making the case that to begin with, the response from, not everybody certainly,

00:23:55.440 but many people in the public, the response to this whole story has been like extremely disturbing

00:24:01.260 and a real sign of cultural rot and also spiritual rot within those people. I mean,

00:24:08.340 the people, their first instinct is to laugh about it, to gloat. Now, I understand there's gallows humor,

00:24:16.480 there's morbid humor, there's always people that make jokes about tragic events. And,

00:24:20.400 you know, that's, that's sort of, that's one thing. But then there are people who are,

00:24:24.700 they're happy about it. Their instinctive reaction from the beginning was to gloat and be happy

00:24:31.220 that this happened. And they're largely happy because the people on the, on the subversible were rich.

00:24:39.200 And so therefore, it's good that they died the worst imaginable death. I mean, this is,

00:24:45.020 it is, again, it's a, it's a, a sign that something is, you know, if you have that instinctive reaction,

00:24:53.260 then you have to look within yourself because there's something has gone horribly wrong with

00:24:56.720 you personally. That should not be your immediate reaction to something like this.

00:25:03.560 And there'd also been a lot of people that are just kind of dismissing the whole thing and saying,

00:25:07.640 well, it's just, it's just a rich people on a tourist excursion. When, you know, and yes, you

00:25:16.440 could, you could, that's one way of looking at it, that these are rich people on a tourist trip.

00:25:20.920 And even if that is what happened, it still is a tragedy and we should still try to rescue them.

00:25:29.100 We still, we still shouldn't be happy that it happened. And that's the kind of thing that

00:25:31.720 shouldn't need to be explained. But as I said yesterday, this, this is also,

00:25:36.280 and I don't know why people are so resistant to this, like, this is also exploration. These,

00:25:41.520 these people are explorers. I mean, when you go two and a half miles under the ocean,

00:25:46.580 that's, that counts as exploration.

00:25:50.440 Um, now you could talk about what are their motives for doing it?

00:25:55.920 Oh, they're just doing it for bragging rights. They're doing it out of hubris.

00:26:00.440 Okay. Well, welcome to every explorer who's ever lived.

00:26:06.280 You know, there's always been in the whole history of exploration, there's always been

00:26:11.180 hubris and bragging rights and, uh, personal ambition and competition and all these things

00:26:17.660 that have fueled people to do extraordinary things that most of us wouldn't ever even consider doing.

00:26:24.280 That's always part of it. And another point too, is that,

00:26:28.500 you know, I, I hear people say, well, this is, this is rich people wasting their money.

00:26:33.660 You know, it's $250,000 ticket to go to the bottom of the ocean. We got the rich people

00:26:38.500 wasting their money. You know, first of all, pound for pound, it's very likely that you have wasted

00:26:48.840 more money, or at least, you know, if you look at your, at your, uh, at your total income

00:26:55.200 versus how much money you personally have wasted. This applies to me as well.

00:27:00.880 As a percentage, you have very likely wasted more money than any of the rich people on that

00:27:07.240 submersible. Uh, so we're all guilty of wasting money and that's, that's modern life. Like we fill

00:27:14.880 our lives and our homes with a whole bunch of crap. We don't need constantly finding new reasons to waste

00:27:20.540 money. We all do that. And as your income increases, you just end up wasting more money. But, you know,

00:27:26.020 if you're not wasting as much money as a billionaire, it's probably just because you don't have that much

00:27:29.780 money to waste, but you certainly waste almost all the money you can waste. So it's, it's, uh,

00:27:34.140 sort of a pointless thing to get all high, high and mighty about, but also

00:27:38.340 of all the things that a rich person can waste their money on. Um, I think this is one of the better

00:27:44.560 things. I mean, the world's a better place. If you have rich people that are motivated, uh, to do

00:27:50.740 eccentric and crazy things like, okay, they want to go to the bottom of the ocean. They want to fly

00:27:55.580 into space. There are a lot of things that, that the elites can spend their money on that, that,

00:28:00.580 and do spend their money on that have a very destructive effect on society and on our culture.

00:28:07.640 That's not one of those things. Okay. I wish this is what all the billionaires were doing.

00:28:11.340 And this is also, you know, rich people spending their money, uh, to go to space or go to the

00:28:19.260 ocean. This is, this is what is going to fund and drive innovation going into the future. This,

00:28:25.420 this is what does it. So I don't, as I said yesterday, I don't, I don't understand the

00:28:30.880 instinctive reaction that people have. Um, and the first thing that I think when I hear someone does

00:28:35.100 something like this, I have, I have respect for it because, you know, the only reason, I mean,

00:28:38.920 the idea of seeing what the bottom of the ocean looks like is cool. So I like the idea of it being

00:28:46.980 able to see the Titanic at the bottom of the, at the bottom of the ocean. That's a, that's a very

00:28:52.400 fascinating idea. I would never do it though, because I would be afraid. I'd be afraid to do it

00:29:00.160 because exactly this, I wouldn't want this to happen. So generally the way that I'm wired is

00:29:06.860 that when, when someone does something that, that, that, you know, in theory, I think is cool,

00:29:13.180 but I wouldn't do because I'm afraid that I respect that that takes boldness and it takes some, uh,

00:29:19.400 measure of courage. Now there's also the assumption that I keep hearing from people that,

00:29:23.080 well, these people were stupid. They, uh, they, they, they, they didn't understand the risks.

00:29:29.000 You know, they, they got on that thing. They thought they'd be fine. They thought they'd be

00:29:31.840 safe. Why would you assume they didn't understand the risks? Um, I mean, unless they're actually

00:29:38.720 insane, I think we can assume, and they had to sign all the waiver saying, Hey, this can definitely

00:29:44.400 kill you. I think we can assume that they did know the risks and yet they did it anyway.

00:29:50.020 Like there are people that are willing to do it. I think for some in our culture, that's such a

00:29:53.580 foreign idea. It's such a foreign concept that, uh, you would do something risky knowing that you

00:30:00.300 could lose your life in the process. And it's so foreign to some people that they just assume

00:30:06.360 that the ones who are stuck on the submersible didn't even know what they were getting themselves

00:30:09.980 into. Uh, I can think, I think we can assume that they did and yet they, they did it anyway,

00:30:16.180 which personally I respect. All right. Moving on to, uh, this daily wire, former NCAA swimmer,

00:30:27.340 Riley Gaines delivered a fact check in real time to a Democrat witness during a Wednesday hearing

00:30:31.700 Gaines, who also testified during the Senate judiciary committee hearing titled, uh, protecting

00:30:35.900 pride, defending the civil rights of LGBTQ plus Americans disputed the claim made by the human

00:30:41.620 rights campaign. President Kelly Robinson, that biological males had no inherent advantages when

00:30:46.780 it came to athletics, no inherent advantages. If you're a biological male against females,

00:30:52.940 this was the claim made by the president of human rights, uh, campaign. And here's how Riley

00:30:57.240 Gaines responded to that. Watch women. You don't believe that a biological male has a physical

00:31:03.560 advantage in sports over a biological female, not as a definitive statement. Give me an example.

00:31:11.620 Well, no, I, I don't think how, how, how, how many female members of the NBA do you see?

00:31:19.760 Well, I can say that, you know, there's been this news article about men that think that they could

00:31:23.880 beat Serena Williams in tennis, right? That they think that they could actually score a point on her.

00:31:29.060 Um, and it's just not the case. She is stronger than that. What's your experience, Ben? Male, female,

00:31:35.860 both Serena and Venus lost to the 203rd ranked male tennis player, which they're phenoms for women.

00:31:41.620 Um, my experience, my husband, he swam at university of Kentucky as well in terms of accolades and in

00:31:47.400 terms of national ranking, I was a much better swimmer than him. Um, he could kick my butt any

00:31:53.440 day of the week without trying. So that's a great moment from Riley Gaines. Also it's, it's a moment

00:32:00.200 of stating the obvious, and this is one of the, uh, this is why I appreciate, uh, Riley Gaines.

00:32:06.540 She's, she's, she's good, obviously very forceful and compelling advocate for, uh, sanity on this

00:32:12.660 issue. But this is one thing that I think people who are on team sanity, when they get, when they,

00:32:19.860 you know, when they, when they decide they want to start speaking up about all this, uh, this is a

00:32:25.780 challenge that I think many people don't expect. They don't expect it to be a challenge, which is that,

00:32:32.620 you know, explaining something so obvious it's, there's actually, it can be difficult at first

00:32:38.340 to explain something so obvious. When you have someone challenging one of the most obvious realities

00:32:44.800 of life, um, it's, uh, it, it can almost throw you for a loop. So when you have someone sitting in

00:32:51.520 front of you saying, males don't have any advantages against females in sports,

00:32:57.400 that's inherently absurd. Like everybody knows that's ridiculous. And if they ask, well, what's

00:33:05.400 proof that they're, what's the proof? Like what evidence do we have that males are better than

00:33:10.500 females? Everywhere. Look anywhere. Look, just literally just look around you. The proof is all

00:33:18.060 around you. Um, look at any, look at any actual sporting event, any kind of almost any, uh, competition,

00:33:28.300 especially any, any sporting event where you can measure anything like a race, you know, especially,

00:33:35.080 and you can, you can actually measure somebody's performance in a really quantifiable way.

00:33:40.140 And then you can take the, the men's performance and you, you have those numbers and you can compare

00:33:47.720 them to females. And on average, the men are always going to be faster and better and stronger

00:33:53.900 always, you know, like the, the, the fastest woman at the Olympics in any race has never been faster

00:34:02.760 than the fastest man. Like the, the, the, the gold medal winning woman in any race in the Olympics

00:34:09.060 has never been faster than the gold medal winning man. Now, of course the woman who wins the gold

00:34:16.520 medal in the Olympics in a hundred meter dash or whatever the event is, is she going to be faster

00:34:21.860 than some men? Sure. Yeah. If you take any average guy who's, who hasn't, uh, hasn't even gone for a

00:34:28.620 jog in, in 25 years and you put her, put them on the track against that, uh, Olympic, uh, sprinter

00:34:35.300 on the female side, he's going to lose. But we're talking about averages. We're talking about the

00:34:42.520 inherent advantages that men have over women. It's one of those things that's so incredibly obvious.

00:34:50.680 Uh, and, and the other challenge too, is that you're trying to explain something to someone who

00:34:57.820 already knows. Okay. They, they already know that you're right and they're wrong. You're trying to

00:35:04.200 explain a truth to them, describe something to them that they already recognize. Um, but Riley

00:35:12.840 games did a great job there. And that's why I also, as I always say, um, you have to keep it very simple

00:35:21.140 because on the left, when they're making some kind of claim that males don't have an advantage over

00:35:27.340 females or whatever it is, they obviously can't support that claim, but they have no evidence for

00:35:32.260 that whatsoever. Um, all they can do is obfuscate, uh, make everything more obscure, try to make the

00:35:41.860 picture foggier and hazier, get kind of drag you away from the main point and get you lost in the weeds

00:35:49.100 over here. And that's why when you're dealing with these people, the goal should always be to just keep

00:35:56.000 it simple, stick with the basic facts. Don't let them drag you off to some irrelevant detour. Stick with

00:36:04.040 the facts. Okay. Another story I want to mention briefly, Daily Wire reports, average math and reading

00:36:08.400 test scores for 13 year olds in the United States hit the lowest level in decades. According to a recent

00:36:12.600 national long-term trend assessment released on Wednesday, the national assessment of educational

00:36:17.040 progress, uh, reported the declining education levels occurred during the pandemic. However,

00:36:23.000 the downward trajectory began at least a decade before government officials and school districts

00:36:26.420 shuttered classroom doors and switched to online learning in response to COVID. Um, so this is,

00:36:32.020 that, that's why it's really important when you hear, uh, about all these disastrous outcomes in the

00:36:36.760 public school system and test scores are declining and it's just every week there's another report just

00:36:42.000 like this. And very often they try to blame it all on the pandemic, which to begin with, um, that's

00:36:49.020 wrong because the pandemic didn't do any of this. Okay. There's nothing that happened in the pandemic

00:36:53.080 that would prevent kids from learning to read. Okay. The, the, the COVID didn't do that. It was the

00:37:00.460 government's response to COVID that did that. But even that is not the explanation because all of

00:37:07.260 these trends, the decline in, uh, performance among kids in grade school has that that's, that's,

00:37:15.300 that's a trend that dates back the years and years and years that accelerated during the pandemic.

00:37:19.960 I mean, when you shut down all the, uh, the schools and crucially you shut down the schools and then

00:37:25.580 try to replace the schools with online, with zoom. Now, if you shut down the schools and then everybody

00:37:31.940 goes into a homeschool environment, well, then the kids end up educationally, they end up better

00:37:36.400 because the, the, the education you get in homeschool is far, is far superior to what they

00:37:40.740 get in public school. But that's not what happened for a lot of these kids. You know, it's not like

00:37:45.060 they seamlessly went from, uh, public schools are shut down and now they're being homeschooled.

00:37:49.800 Uh, no, they went from that to, uh, all of that is being replaced by the screen, you know, by zoom

00:37:55.840 meetings basically. Um, and that had the effect of accelerating all these trends, but these were trends

00:38:04.660 that were in place long before that. And if we were a culture that, um, if we were a serious culture

00:38:13.320 in any way, this would be a huge scandal, you know, that we would, that we would be talking about and

00:38:23.200 focusing on. And the scandal being the total failure of the education system to do the one thing it's

00:38:32.600 supposed to do, which is to educate the next generation of Americans. It is completely failing

00:38:39.740 in that regard. Every time we see one of these, uh, uh, man, dumb guy on the street interviews and

00:38:47.780 someone's out on a college campus or they're just out in a street corner somewhere. And they're talking

00:38:52.220 to a random young adults who are walking by and asking them who was the first president of the United

00:38:56.060 States. Or, you know, can you name four States in our country? You know, how many continents are on the

00:39:01.940 globe? And they, and they, and they, and they're being stumped by that. And we all kind of laugh

00:39:06.400 about it. Um, and it, it makes sense to laugh because it's absurd, but at the same time that

00:39:13.620 again is it, it's, it's, it's, it's a tragedy actually. It's a testament to the fact that our

00:39:18.120 education system has completely failed. And yet we basically, you know, and this is something that

00:39:25.560 every once in a while people look over at it and they say, oh, well, that's, that's a problem.

00:39:29.540 That's unfortunate, but then nothing has ever done about it. You know, it's just like the, the,

00:39:36.160 the sex abuse epidemic in public schools that's been going on for years. The, the, the department

00:39:43.620 of education like 20 years ago did a report showing that sex abuse in public school by public school

00:39:53.200 staff members is, is an epidemic. It's like thousands of cases of it. And it's even 20

00:40:00.940 years ago, the department of education admitted that. And we see the stories that come up. We're

00:40:05.060 all, we're all familiar with these kinds of stories, public school teachers, uh, being arrested for

00:40:10.080 child porn or abusing their students. And yeah, people pretend to care about it. And we, and when,

00:40:15.600 anytime we hear a new story or new scandal, we glance over at it and then we just get back to

00:40:21.700 whatever we were doing. And I think the reason is that, uh, our society doesn't want to face

00:40:28.080 the total collapse of the education system. Uh, and what a disaster it has been for children,

00:40:35.920 a disaster in pretty much every way imaginable. We don't want to face that because of the

00:40:39.900 implications because of what it means. And what it means individually for a lot of parents is that

00:40:46.280 if, if, if, if, if you in any way can, you should be pulling your kids out of that system.

00:40:54.780 Well, but if I, if you do that, then that's like major sacrifices you have to make in your life.

00:40:59.500 You have to completely restructure your life because modern society is basically structured all

00:41:07.140 structured around public school system around this, uh, this idea that you put your kids on the bus

00:41:15.380 at seven 30 in the morning. They're gone. Uh, and that's, uh, they've, they've got daycares and

00:41:20.680 public schools glorified daycare system. And then they come back at four o'clock and you've got all

00:41:25.620 that time in between to do what you want to go to work. Uh, and our society, whole society is kind

00:41:30.140 of structured around that. If you take public school out, it becomes, uh, it's, you have to drastically

00:41:37.540 change the way that you do things, make some major sacrifices. People don't want to do that.

00:41:43.160 So instead we, we kind of, we look away and we let the public school off the hook,

00:41:47.500 which we have to stop doing. Let's get to the comment section.

00:42:01.700 The one year anniversary of Roe versus Wade being overturned is coming up. And since then,

00:42:06.160 the left has absolutely lost their minds. Pro-life efforts, which are more important now than ever

00:42:10.000 are booming. Uh, you heard that right. Despite the narrative, pro-lifers, uh, actually are not

00:42:14.780 going away. They have increased in number for days for life is changing hearts and minds in the most

00:42:19.120 blue pro-abortion States in the country. They've had a record number of locations since Roe was

00:42:23.160 overturned. They grew in both volunteers and locations with about 1 million volunteers in 1500

00:42:28.160 cities. They hold peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities. This success has come with new unwanted

00:42:32.760 attention. As you'd imagine from the federal government and the DOJ in regards to free speech,

00:42:36.980 uh, as, uh, one of the largest pro-life organizations in the world, no one is in a better position than

00:42:42.380 40 days for life to end abortion in each state in a post-Roe America. You can help them fight the

00:42:48.060 ongoing legal battles of protecting free speech for their volunteers, including Mark, the 40 days for

00:42:52.000 life volunteer who had his house raided by the FBI, help them defend free speech by giving a tax

00:42:57.820 deductible gift of any amount at 40 days for life.com. That's 40 days for life.com.

00:43:02.640 Extremism 101 says about time. You came back. Listen, I know you're doing what you're doing

00:43:07.780 is probably important, but as my routine, not important also is my lunchtime spent with you.

00:43:12.220 Not important. I expect to see your response during the comment section. A real sweet daddy

00:43:15.620 answers questions like these. Uh, you know, I, I understand that I can understand, uh, the trauma

00:43:21.960 that you are suffering as well by my repeated absences. I'll probably all have more to say about

00:43:27.260 this soon, but I will say that, uh, yes, I'm aware that I've been missing a lot of shows recently

00:43:33.760 and that's, that's, it's not what I would, what I would, what I would want. You know, I like to think

00:43:39.380 I'm usually pretty reliable. I do the show come hell or high water, but, um, I am working on

00:43:46.100 some major projects that I wish I could say more about, but I can't. Uh, but I am, there's a reason

00:43:53.180 for it. I'll tell you that. Here's what I can say. Uh, when I miss the show, it's not, I'm not just

00:43:58.860 like lounging on my couch, having a good time as much as I wish maybe that was the case. Uh, we are,

00:44:04.600 we're working on some things. It's all I can say for right now, but there is a, there is a reason

00:44:10.580 for the absences and it will all make sense soon enough. And I think you also know, and I, and I,

00:44:17.160 and I, you know, I think you'll give me this at least that historically when I say, oh, I've got

00:44:25.340 big things coming up. I'm working on a project. You know, we, we deliver on that. So if I say we're

00:44:30.320 working on big projects, we are, um, let's see. Ryan says regarding the daily cancellation,

00:44:36.320 I'm certain there's more to the story than Liz Gilbert, just shelving her book. I'm guessing

00:44:40.440 her publisher decided not to release the book and gave her the option to act like it was her idea.

00:44:44.540 The screams of protecting her ego. Uh, yeah, that, that might be the case,

00:44:49.800 but then the irony is that she pretended it was her idea to protect her ego and to save face,

00:44:56.280 but it had the opposite, has the opposite effect. If you really want to save face,

00:45:00.540 it's like what I would do in that situation. If I had written a book and the publisher said,

00:45:05.000 we're not going to release it because the dumbest people on the internet are offended for the dumbest

00:45:10.920 reason, then I would come out and say, this was not my decision. I think this is insane.

00:45:17.680 However, I can't release the book by, you know, I legally, I can't release it myself.

00:45:22.240 The publisher owns it. And so there's nothing I can do, but this is crazy. And I hate it. You know,

00:45:26.400 that's what I would do. So that just makes it even worse. If this was not Gilbert's idea to

00:45:33.660 shelve her book and, uh, and yet she took quote unquote credit for it anyway. Uh, that, that makes

00:45:40.080 her stupid as well, as well as a coward at the same time. John says my difficulty with having tons

00:45:46.160 of sympathy with the people in the sub is that it was built to Chrysler levels of quality when it

00:45:50.460 needed to be built to Lexus levels of quality. Yeah, I think that's well established now. Not that I,

00:45:56.100 look, I'm not, I'm also, I admit, I'm not an expert in, um, underwater submersibles and how they

00:46:02.020 should be built and all that. So that's also been funny to me. See all these, uh, see all,

00:46:07.440 all these submarine experts on Twitter, all of a sudden giving these in-depth critiques

00:46:12.960 of how the submersible was built. This wasn't built up to snuff at all. This is what the hell

00:46:18.660 do you know about building a submersible? Um, but based on what I've heard, that would seem to be

00:46:24.300 the case that it was not, uh, it was not built to the level of quality that it should be. But then again,

00:46:30.160 you know, the, the CEO of the company is on the ship. He, so he, if this thing went down

00:46:38.260 and they're all dead, then he went down with the ship. And so he obviously believed in what he was

00:46:43.560 doing. And if, if there was a risk being taken, he took the risk on himself as well. Got to respect

00:46:49.300 that. I think, uh, passionately stoic says exploring. I thought there were tourists paying

00:46:57.320 for a thrill. Yeah. Again, it's, there's also a kind of a fine line sometimes between those two

00:47:03.880 things. Tourists paying for a thrill exploring. Yeah. That's those, they're not always, those not

00:47:09.740 always distinct things. Um, and again, going back to the whole history of exploration,

00:47:19.120 you know, in any exploratory expedition, there are always these criticisms like, well, what is this

00:47:26.560 really accomplishing? You know, how does this advance, uh, humanity in any way? This is really

00:47:31.880 all about your ego. This is your arrogance is you're just thrill seeking. You're wasting money.

00:47:36.580 Pretty much any exploratory expedition that has ever been launched in history. There have been

00:47:42.160 those criticisms of it. And I'm not saying that them going down to try to visit the Titanic is an

00:47:49.860 exploratory expedition on the same level of, you know, the great explorers of history. Uh, but I do

00:47:57.180 think that, yeah, by definition going two and a half miles under the ocean is exploring. I mean,

00:48:02.860 you're, you are exploring something. I think if you looked up the definition of exploring,

00:48:06.580 you would find that going two and a half miles under the ocean does qualify.

00:48:11.060 Now, whether you think it was a pointless exploration expedition or whatever, you can

00:48:15.000 put every adjective you want onto it. That's your opinion. But yes, I do think it counts.

00:48:21.820 It's not exactly the same. If you're taking a cruise to the Bahamas,

00:48:26.320 it would be a real stretch to say that you're on an exploration expedition, but this is not that.

00:48:32.320 Okay. When you're, when you're going to a place that almost nobody has ever been, uh, I think it

00:48:40.780 counts. Um, Tara says these people paid a lot of money to explore that, which has already been

00:48:48.200 explored. I don't see anything there to respect. Once again, I mean, have you, uh, I'm sure you have

00:48:57.440 spent money in your life to go to many places where other people have already been. And it's

00:49:03.020 also funny to me, we kind of talked about this in the cancellation yesterday, but, um, cause we're

00:49:06.180 talking about the eat, pray, love woman and the author of that book. And so many people are kind

00:49:12.040 of like turning up their noses at this and making fun of these people for going two and a half miles

00:49:16.960 under the ocean, thinking that it's some sort of significant expedition. How many of those people

00:49:22.020 have gone to the Bahamas or to Jamaica or to France or something, and then come back talking

00:49:27.320 about how it was a life changing journey, you know, when you went to, when you went to an actual

00:49:32.860 tourist destination and yet, and yet for this, we could say, Oh, that's, that's silly. That's other

00:49:39.220 people have been there. Yeah. The whole history of humanity, there's been like 200 people that have

00:49:43.820 been that deep in the ocean, but other people have been there. So there's no point in going back.

00:51:11.800 For our Daily Cancellation Day, we turn to a woman named Yana Fry, whose current occupation is life

00:51:17.440 coach. This is not the first time that a life coach has been featured in this segment. As you know,

00:51:21.320 if someone calls themselves a life coach, it's a surefire sign that their own life is in utter

00:51:26.340 shambles. When you think about somebody hitting rock bottom, you probably imagine a person lying in

00:51:30.960 the gutter, disheveled, passed out, drunk, homeless. That's not quite rock bottom. There is a level

00:51:35.960 deeper, more debased and pathetic and disgraceful than that. And that's the level where you become a life

00:51:40.700 coach. People who can't do teach, which means that if you don't know how to live a successful life,

00:51:46.820 you teach other people how to live a successful life, except that your advice is sure to be quite

00:51:50.380 terrible. Before we get to the actual reason why Yana is the subject of our cancellation today,

00:51:55.580 I want to share, just for context, I guess, one little morsel of her wisdom. This is the first thing

00:52:01.220 that popped up when I searched her name on YouTube. So I didn't do a lot of digging, but I think this is

00:52:05.960 good enough. It gives us a feel for who this person is. Here she is delivering some real important life

00:52:11.920 coaching. Listen. You are the one living and writing your story. There is no one else.

00:52:27.400 You are the only person who is responsible for all the pain and pleasure in your life.

00:52:33.520 You are the only one who has the power to create or destroy everything around you.

00:52:47.440 And the sooner we all remember it, realize it,

00:52:54.040 the faster we can restore peace in our society.

00:53:05.820 You are the only one who has the power to create or destroy everything in your life.

00:53:11.600 Not only is this obviously nonsense, just a lot of self-affirmation mumbo-jumbo. It also sounds

00:53:16.940 like the kind of thing that a comic book supervillain would say to himself in the mirror.

00:53:20.000 You are the only one with the power to destroy and create. It evinces an extreme level of

00:53:25.840 narcissism. I mean, narcissism that verges into delusion. That's something we should keep in mind

00:53:30.540 as we move on to the story that has gone viral this week, centering around this woman. The Daily

00:53:36.340 Mail reports, quote, a woman who divorced her husband while he was suffering from testicular cancer

00:53:40.240 has revealed why she has no regrets. Yana Fry, a life coach from St. Petersburg, Russia,

00:53:45.480 who now lives in Singapore, got married when she was just 22 years old. And looking back,

00:53:49.800 she wishes she hadn't tied the knot before she was 30. Her ex-husband, who was 15 years her senior,

00:53:55.020 was diagnosed with testicular cancer three months into her marriage, and she stayed with him for

00:53:58.900 another five years. Even before his diagnosis, Yana said her husband was always one to drown in

00:54:03.880 self-pity, and after years of mental anguish, she called it quits, much to her in-law's disdain.

00:54:09.460 I rushed into that marriage. I don't think women should marry before 30. We have no idea who we are,

00:54:14.380 and we don't know what a good partner is for us, the 40-year-old explained. Yana met her husband about a

00:54:19.280 year before they tied the knot, and while they had a good relationship, she believes it never stood a

00:54:23.300 chance after he fell unwell because of the toll his illness took on them both. Now, from here,

00:54:30.000 we're told all about Yana's husband's cancer diagnosis, which obviously affected Yana herself

00:54:35.460 most of all. She is the main character. She is the one with the power to create and destroy.

00:54:40.740 The whole universe revolves around her, and now her husband's terminal illness revolves around her, too.

00:54:47.500 His terminal illness was cramping her style, ruining her vibe. The Daily Mail continues,

00:54:52.960 people react in one of two ways to critical illnesses. I've seen it over and over, she said.

00:54:58.100 The first type was how my husband, unfortunately, was, the people who drown in self-pity. The second

00:55:02.480 type of people are those who are instead concerned with everyone around them. Yes, how dare her husband

00:55:07.160 pity himself because he had cancer? He should have been pitying her instead. You know, this marriage

00:55:13.800 isn't big enough for two people to be pitied. Continuing, quote, Yana said that at the time,

00:55:19.380 society was less aware of mental health, so much so that even medical professionals never asked how

00:55:23.840 she was coping. I was in a state of shock. When I first heard the diagnosis, it took me six months to

00:55:29.040 even be able to say the word cancer, she said. We saw different kinds of doctors. Not a single person

00:55:34.120 ever offered me help. They never asked, do you need a support system? Are you part of a counseling

00:55:39.100 group? I was hoping for the best with my husband's cancer, but then years went by. I started to lose

00:55:43.840 hope. It was five years with all the treatments and started to change the dynamics within our

00:55:47.620 relationship. It wasn't until the fifth year that I started to think about leaving. Yes, how dare

00:55:53.760 those parents, how dare those doctors, you know, the cancer doctors, not ask her. It should begin with

00:55:59.740 that. Like, how is your mental? Yeah, I mean, you're dying of cancer, but what about you? How's

00:56:04.980 your mental health? How are you feeling? I mean, all this, it's understandable though, isn't it? I

00:56:09.800 mean, she gave the guy five years to get over his annoying cancer phase, but he had the gall to

00:56:14.700 continue being sick, even though his sickness was clearly impacting her mental health. So she finally

00:56:20.040 decided to file for divorce, reading again, quote, but I felt like I couldn't say anything. When someone

00:56:24.660 is dying next to you, you feel like you can't talk about your own well-being because you compare it to

00:56:28.840 their suffering. Yana said that everything changed for her when one of her friends took their own

00:56:32.940 life and she attended their open casket funeral, which brought home her own fragile mental state.

00:56:38.640 It was my first funeral and it was very shocking. In my mind at the time, suicide became an option,

00:56:43.260 even though I had never considered that before. I was in such a bad state, she explained. It was very

00:56:47.440 clear to me that if I didn't save myself, I was probably going to die. So Yana made the decision to

00:56:52.240 divorce her dying ex-husband and it was an understandably difficult time for both of them.

00:56:56.740 His main focus was more and more about him. At the beginning of his treatment, he was still

00:57:01.120 checking in on me. He felt even more pity for himself because of the divorce, she said.

00:57:06.060 Pretty egotistical of that guy. He has cancer, his wife leaves him. That's no reason to get all upset.

00:57:13.440 Now anyway, we're told that Yana left her husband, then he died, and she found out about it on Facebook,

00:57:18.400 which was very offensive to her personally. She insists that someone in her husband's family

00:57:22.460 should have thought to reach out to the horrible wench who left him on his deathbed

00:57:27.280 to personally alert her that the man she abandoned had passed away. But because she was not personally

00:57:33.160 told, she was once again the victim. So you notice the theme playing out. It's not very subtle.

00:57:37.680 Yana Fry is the victim of every misfortune that happens around her. Even if it's not happening to her,

00:57:42.980 she's still the main victim. And everything that happens is really about her. Her husband's cancer is

00:57:47.320 about her. Her friend's funeral was about her. Her husband, or then her ex-husband's death was about

00:57:52.760 her. All about her, the goddess who alone possesses the power to create and destroy. And apparently she

00:58:00.760 chooses to destroy. She destroyed her marriage, her vows, her husband's will to live. A trail of

00:58:06.920 destruction in her wake, which she has now brought into a new marriage, which she will of course also

00:58:12.300 abandon the second that she detects that the focus has shifted even for a moment away from

00:58:17.300 her. And the only difference there is that the second husband will deserve to be abandoned by

00:58:22.220 his wife, given that he married her knowing what a self-absorbed monster she is. You get what you

00:58:27.840 pay for, as they say. Now as for the lesson that Yana has learned from all this, it's exactly what

00:58:32.440 you think the lesson would be. Quote, I'm finally learning to love myself and accept myself for who

00:58:37.040 I am, she said, revealing that she's now a stepmother to her second husband's son and hopes to have

00:58:41.700 children of her own. Yana is hoping that by sharing her experience, other people, especially women,

00:58:46.180 will find the courage to do what is right for themselves, even if it comes at the cost of

00:58:49.660 social disapproval. I feel we, especially women, are just usually brought up in this mentality to

00:58:54.460 serve others. But when you get a go against it, you learn a lot about resilience and self-awareness,

00:58:58.840 she said. You learn how to not crack under the pressure of the world. Being so close to death

00:59:03.540 has made me appreciate life much more. Wasn't that nice? You know, the horrible, agonizing death of

00:59:10.440 her husband helped her to appreciate life and love herself. So really, it was all worth it when you

00:59:16.180 think about it. Now, I don't have to explain why this woman is awful. I don't have to tell you that

00:59:21.720 she's a narcissistic, soulless hobgoblin. I don't have to explain that she is so self-absorbed that she

00:59:26.800 has now collapsed in on herself like a dying star and turned into a black hole that obliterates everything

00:59:32.460 in its orbit. That all we can see. The important point to take from this tragic tale, a story equal

00:59:39.840 part sad and revolting, is that it is the inevitable consequence of the love yourself first mentality

00:59:46.620 that is shared by many people in modern culture. Anyone who believes that the point of life is to

00:59:54.580 pursue your own happiness first and foremost as an end to itself, and that the highest form of love

01:00:01.060 is self-love, and that self-love is foundational, and that first you have to love yourself and think

01:00:07.440 about loving yourself before you can love anybody else. When, of course, you know, the reality is

01:00:14.860 the opposite. Stop thinking about yourself for five seconds. Work on loving the people around you,

01:00:20.200 loving and serving the people around you, and if you do that and you stop thinking about yourself,

01:00:24.120 you're going to turn back, you know, one day and notice, oh, you know, I feel pretty good about

01:00:28.260 myself too. That happens as a byproduct of focusing on loving other people. But in our culture, we have

01:00:36.400 it exactly backwards. Focus on loving yourself first, and then you can love others. And until you can love

01:00:41.580 yourself, everyone else be damned. But everybody with this mentality is no different from Jana Frye.

01:00:47.980 If they haven't abandoned a cancer-stricken spouse, it's only because they haven't yet had a cancer-stricken

01:00:52.820 spouse to abandon. And if they did have a cancer-stricken spouse and they didn't abandon him,

01:00:57.380 they did at least sulk and pout and emanate resentment and scorn. Sacrificial love is a foreign

01:01:04.400 concept to these people. The idea of serving someone else, the idea of loving the other and giving of

01:01:10.300 themselves is repulsive. And this is the attitude that is intentionally instilled in children from a

01:01:15.680 young age, the attitude that many of them bring into adulthood and keep through their lives,

01:01:19.460 destroying one relationship after another as they alienate everyone around them.

01:01:25.820 Now, we know that, of course, justice will come for Jana Frye as it does for all of these sorts of

01:01:31.060 people. It'll come when it's her turn to shuffle off this mortal coil. And she looks around to find

01:01:36.920 that there's no one there for her. And she'll die alone just as her husband did. That's where her

01:01:42.780 self-love will lead her, where it leads everyone. And that is why she is today canceled.

01:01:50.760 And I'll do it for the show today. We'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
