Summary

A WPATH-certified medical professional suggests that gender confirmation surgery should include making creative genitals that don t resemble anything that belongs on the human body. This is the kind of horror that was always inevitable as the transgender movement rapidly becomes the transhumanist movement. Also, rowdy mobs of illegals are now forcibly pushing through the border. The family of the teenage girl who knocked her classmate unconscious and slammed her head into the pavement now says that the attacker is the real victim in the case. And Drew Barrymore declares that after three divorces, she feels totally liberated. We ll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Warshaw Show.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a WPATH-certified medical professional suggests that gender
00:00:03.740 confirmation surgery, quote-unquote, should include making creative genitals that don't
00:00:08.080 resemble anything that belongs on the human body. This is the kind of horror that was always
00:00:11.960 inevitable as the transgender movement rapidly becomes the transhumanist movement. Also,
00:00:16.380 rowdy mobs of illegals are now forcibly pushing through the border. The family of the teenage
00:00:20.800 girl who knocked her classmate unconscious and slammed her head into the pavement now says
00:00:24.280 that the attacker is the real victim in the case. Imagine that. And Drew Barrymore declares that
00:00:29.160 after three divorces, she feels totally liberated. We'll talk about all that and more today on the
00:00:33.500 Matt Wall Show.
00:00:59.160 I'm here today because my mother chose life, and you're here today because your mother
00:01:03.500 chose life also. The miracle of life is a gift everyone deserves because every life is precious.
00:01:08.840 That's why we've partnered with Preborn's network of clinics. Preborn introduces unborn babies to
00:01:13.320 their mothers through ultrasound. After hearing her baby's heartbeat and seeing her precious baby,
00:01:18.220 she could be twice as likely to choose life through love, compassion, and free ultrasounds. Preborn
00:01:22.740 has rescued over 280,000 unborn babies, and every day their clinics rescue 200 unborn babies.
00:01:28.380 Now that is a miracle. One ultrasound is just 28 bucks, the cost of a dinner, or you can sponsor
00:01:33.900 five ultrasounds for $140, helping to rescue five unborn babies. Any amount will help. All gifts are
00:01:39.660 tax deductible, and 100% of your donation will go towards saving babies. To donate securely, dial
00:01:44.900 pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250, say the keyword baby, or go to preborn.com
00:01:50.640 slash Matt. That's preborn.com slash Matt. Well, it's been more than two weeks since the WPATH files
00:01:57.220 demonstrated very clearly that so-called transgender medicine is the single most unethical and barbaric
00:02:03.340 practice that the medical industry has ever endorsed or conceived of. It's a coordinated effort
00:02:08.660 to permanently destroy the bodies of thousands of young children and adults as well. The doctors who
00:02:13.900 are involved in this butchery understand very well that kids cannot consent to permanent sterilization
00:02:19.300 and amputation. They've said it on tape, as the WPATH files prove. And yet, despite these revelations,
00:02:24.220 no major hospital has announced that they're cutting ties with WPATH. In fact,
00:02:28.240 they haven't responded to the files at all. Instead, as of today, hospitals like UCLA and
00:02:32.980 Mass General proudly declare on their websites that they carefully follow WPATH's so-called
00:02:38.260 standards of care as they castrate their underage patients. And what this means is that the medical
00:02:44.620 industry is all in on WPATH. Hospitals and medical associations aren't going to disassociate
00:02:50.200 with these quacks, at least not until they're forced to. They simply don't care about the fact
00:02:55.620 that they're ruining the lives of children who can't provide informed consent. In practical terms,
00:03:00.240 for now, this means that some of the most disturbed and ideologically driven deviants on the planet,
00:03:05.140 the experts at WPATH, will continue to write the book on so-called trans medicine.
00:03:10.360 And they have free reign to do so. So it's worth taking a closer look at who exactly these experts
00:03:17.200 are, since no one else in the medical establishment is interested in doing that. As Jen Speck highlighted
00:03:24.240 this week, one of these experts is a New York psychotherapist using the name Laura Jacobs.
00:03:29.460 And on his website, Jacobs proudly lists his affiliation with WPATH, including his work on
00:03:34.400 formulating WPATH's standards of care. Redux looked further into Laura Jacobs' background. They found that he,
00:03:40.060 quote, influenced the development of transgender health guidelines regarding gender dysphoria
00:03:44.480 in adolescence and previously contributed a chapter to an anthology in which he promotes BDSM practices,
00:03:50.380 including age play and genital torture. That's in quotes. Apparently, this is the kind of resume
00:03:57.600 that qualifies a man to become a WPATH certified expert and to come up with the highly permissive
00:04:04.260 criteria that doctors use in order to castrate children all over the country. And yet, if you look
00:04:09.280 a little closer, this guy is somehow even weirder and more unsettling than his bio would
00:04:15.080 suggest, which is saying a lot because the bio suggests that he's extremely weird and unsettling.
00:04:20.100 This is a video that was found by a researcher named Johnny Bell. It's from a TEDx talk that
00:04:25.400 Jacobs delivered a couple of years ago. I want you to watch as Laura Jacobs begins by explaining
00:04:30.840 his own, quote, unquote, gender identity. Watch.
00:04:34.000 Now, I identify as trans and genderqueer. And to me, that means I like to play with gender.
00:04:39.220 I like to problematize gender. I like to confront gender norms in how I present and how I move
00:04:45.520 through the world. I feel female and male. I feel both and neither one. And so many of the labels
00:04:52.900 that we use in this area feel equally authentic and inauthentic. And I simply can't tell where one gender
00:05:01.920 ends and another begins. Now, there's more to this clip, and it gets a lot worse from there,
00:05:07.880 which you'll see in a minute. But it's important to stop there and highlight the complete and total
00:05:12.980 incoherence of what you just heard. WPATH certified medical professional Laura Jacobs says that he likes
00:05:19.080 to play with gender, which means that he's genderqueer. He says that he feels female and male. He also feels
00:05:26.460 both and neither at the same time. And he says that various labels feel equally authentic and
00:05:32.560 inauthentic. Now, it's hard to think of a better illustration of the way trans activists can string
00:05:37.440 sentences together that mean absolutely nothing. It's a characteristic that every single trans
00:05:43.720 activist has in common without fail. They advance their ideas not by convincing anybody, but by
00:05:48.020 confusing them. Authenticity is the opposite of inauthenticity. Male is the opposite of female.
00:05:55.220 If you think that something can be two mutually incompatible things at the same exact time,
00:06:00.980 then you are extremely confused on every conceivable level. I mean, this is no different
00:06:07.700 than saying that somebody can be a bachelor and married at the same time, or that a square can be a
00:06:12.340 square while equally being a circle. It's the definition of nonsense. And this is how gender
00:06:18.800 ideology is promoted, not with arguments or explanations, but with an avalanche of pure
00:06:23.740 unbridled nonsense that the ideologues hope will distract and confuse you so much that you just throw
00:06:30.380 up your hands and agree with whatever crap they're spewing. And here I'm assuming that Jacobs knows that
00:06:36.280 he's saying a bunch of nonsensical drivel. If he thinks that it actually makes sense, then instead of
00:06:40.340 working on medical standards that every major hospital follows, these 30 seconds alone are
00:06:45.540 strong evidence that Laura Jacobs should certainly seek some help himself. Although what comes next is
00:06:52.360 even better evidence, I think, of that last point. Laura Jacobs doesn't stop there. Narcissists never
00:06:58.580 admit defeat, even when their own arguments are self-defeating and totally nonsensical. Instead,
00:07:03.240 Jacobs launches into an extremely creepy, to say the least, transhumanist monologue.
00:07:09.340 Now, as you watch this, keep in mind again that this is a representative for WPATH, which every major
00:07:14.780 medical organization and hospital currently pretends is a legitimate authority, and in fact, the authority
00:07:21.800 on so-called trans healthcare watch.
00:07:25.540 Medical interventions allow some of us to change our primary and secondary sex characteristics. We have phalloplasty that creates a penis and the scrotum and testicles. We have vaginoplasty that creates a vagina and a vulva. We have chest masculinization and breast augmentation, all of which create bodies that are readable to outsiders, but it's clear that cisgender bodies are still the reference point.
00:07:53.540 But will technology give us options that are artistic and creative?
00:08:01.540 Artificial limbs even now can transmit rudimentary sensory data back to the wearer. And it seems to me that a fully functional, artificial, sensate penis is maybe not that far off. But do we have to stick to penis and vagina norms?
00:08:20.540 Artificial norms? Can we have genitalia that look like flowers or abstract sculpture? Can we have multiple? Can they be interchangeable? And what about other areas of the body?
00:08:34.580 Do we have to stick to penis and vagina norms, asks Jacobs? Can we have genitalia that look like flowers or abstract sculptures? Can we have multiple? Can they be interchangeable?
00:08:47.580 I mean, this is body horror at its most deranged. If a filmmaker made a horror movie where people were walking around with genitals that looked like abstract sculptures, I would think that the filmmaker was a deranged creep.
00:09:00.940 But Jacobs wants to do this in real life. And once you get past the raw human disgust that you feel listening to somebody talk like this, you begin to realize that it was inevitable that we get to this point.
00:09:12.780 Transgenderism, the belief that people can change their gender has always had a lot in common with transhumanism, which involves the use of technology to alter the human condition.
00:09:22.180 It was unavoidable that the two ideologies would converge, as they are really the same ideology, dimensions of the same basic idea anyway.
00:09:28.920 Both transgenderism and transhumanism are grounded in a rejection of both the classical and Christian traditions of human nature.
00:09:35.160 They want to make human beings gods over themselves, over their own nature.
00:09:40.560 You know, he uses the word creative, that our limbs and organs should be creative.
00:09:48.960 And he means it in a kind of a literal sense, that he wants to have the power of creation over his own body.
00:09:56.380 Transgenderism and transhumanism have more in common with Machiavelli, who taught that the only truth is effectual truth, meaning that, you know, it's what you can control.
00:10:04.300 There's no transcendent authority in this understanding.
00:10:08.200 Humans are, again, their own gods.
00:10:10.340 That is the essence of transgenderism.
00:10:12.800 And now it's coming to the forefront.
00:10:14.740 More and more people identifying as transgender are admitting that, you know, they're not really receiving medical care or anything like that.
00:10:20.920 That was always a lie, one that WPATH was founded in order to spread.
00:10:25.100 Now we're seeing so-called transgender individuals coming right out and admitting that their real goal is to embrace transhumanism.
00:10:30.680 They don't just want to change genders.
00:10:33.140 They want to redesign their entire body.
00:10:35.780 They don't want to resemble men or women.
00:10:37.700 They want to carve up their body parts into, you know, starfish and flowers.
00:10:42.120 And it's not just one WPATH quack who's pushing this, as disturbing as that would be, all on its own.
00:10:46.620 The child psychologist Elliot Kamenetzky recently noted that the popular website Healthline recommends that visitors talk to a surgeon if they're interested in splitting their penis in half or creating other various designs out of their genitalia.
00:11:02.320 There are various diagrams on Healthline's website that are too graphic to put on air.
00:11:06.900 This is supposedly a leading website that people turn to for medical information.
00:11:10.280 Like WPATH, they're trying to normalize general mutilation, not in the name of transgenderism, but in the name of transhumanism, which is sort of the next step.
00:11:20.260 Spend some time on social media and you'll find this idea is catching on.
00:11:22.920 Here's a few clips from an upcoming documentary on this topic.
00:11:25.340 Listen to how young people are talking about transgenderism and how they perceive themselves.
00:11:29.580 Watch.
00:11:29.780 God blessed me by making me a transsexual for the same reason God made wheat, but not bread and fruit, but not wine, so that humanity might share in the act of creation.
00:11:44.880 Hello, guys and gals and non-binary pals.
00:11:48.180 You know, life isn't about finding yourself.
00:11:50.620 It's about creating yourself.
00:11:52.440 God made trans people for the same reason he made wheat, but not bread.
00:11:55.820 God created grapes, but not wine.
00:11:57.520 So that humanity can share in the art of creation.
00:12:01.620 So there was always a contradiction between, obviously, transgenderism and Christianity.
00:12:07.140 The two are diametrically opposed to each other.
00:12:10.020 And we see why.
00:12:11.180 You know, now a lot of trans activists are making that contradiction explicit.
00:12:13.920 They're denying that man was made in God's likeness, which is obviously foundational biblical teaching.
00:12:19.520 And instead, they're equating man with various inert objects like wheat and grapes.
00:12:24.200 Which means the whole pretense of transgender medicine is long gone.
00:12:28.020 We're entering into cultish, blasphemous territory here, which is where we've always been, really.
00:12:34.540 And they're basically admitting it.
00:12:36.180 And again, this is a rapidly growing segment of the so-called trans community that's talking like this.
00:12:40.300 Go on YouTube and you'll find an assortment of demented videos about so-called trans people who think they've transformed into lizards and dragons and other species, both mythical and not.
00:12:50.940 And they have millions of views.
00:12:53.060 Here are just two of them.
00:12:54.420 Watch.
00:12:55.620 I am presently the most modified transsexual in the world.
00:12:59.660 I have eight horns on my forehead.
00:13:01.800 I have had my ears removed.
00:13:03.600 My nose reshaped.
00:13:05.500 Most of my teeth removed.
00:13:07.320 I've had the white part, the seclera of my eyeballs, permanently stained green.
00:13:12.500 I've had my tongue bifurcated, my whole face is tattooed, and I have had some scarifications in my chin and branding on my chest and on my wrist.
00:13:24.120 My transformation is, for me, the greatest journey of my lifetime.
00:13:30.780 I am Tiamat, Regent Medusa, and I am a genderless dragon.
00:13:37.100 I was born a male.
00:13:40.140 When I look in the mirror, I see a creature.
00:13:44.780 I don't see a human.
00:13:48.700 A genderless dragon.
00:13:50.900 Now, of course, in reality, he's neither genderless nor a dragon, but he is as much a dragon as he is genderless all the same.
00:14:02.380 But then again, of course, if a man can become a woman, then there's no reason why you can't become a dragon.
00:14:08.520 And the upshot of all this insanity, again, is that the veneer of transgenderism as some kind of serious medical discipline is fading, and it's fading very, very quickly.
00:14:15.680 We've seen how trans activists claim to be preoccupied with gender-affirming care and freedom, but in many cases, it's really a Trojan horse for the weirdest and most unhinged excesses of transhumanism.
00:14:28.500 And make no mistake about it, top hospitals in the country endorse this.
00:14:32.020 Until they disavow W-Path and, you know, freak shows like Laura Jacobs who work with them, then there's really no other conclusion we can draw.
00:14:39.620 Increasingly, transgenderism is explicitly about mutilation and body modification.
00:14:45.920 I mean, it always has been about those things, but increasingly is explicitly about those things, in order to achieve some sort of godlike status.
00:14:54.640 And it's very clear that these ghouls will sacrifice many more children on their quest for divinity, unless and until they're finally destroyed for good.
00:15:05.220 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:15:09.620 You know, I sent a portrait to Paint Your Life a few years ago.

00:16:23.620 From The Telegraph, dozens of migrants smashed through a border checkpoint guarded by armed troops in Texas on Thursday
00:16:29.180 in the latest chaotic scenes at the U.S. border, in a video shared on social media,
00:16:32.780 a surge of male migrants pushed past a row of U.S. National Guard soldiers in El Paso,
00:16:37.600 having earlier torn down razor wires and fences.
00:16:40.340 The group had been detained on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande.
00:16:44.220 According to witnesses, the crowd of men had been pushed south of the wire in the middle of the night by troops.
00:16:50.180 A few hours later, the men grew impatient and broke through barriers,
00:16:54.000 running towards a section of the border wall where they could be processed by officials.
00:16:57.440 Here, we have two videos here where there's a news report about it.
00:17:02.320 But before we play the news report, here's the actual raw footage of this group,
00:17:06.660 this violent mob pushing through the border and through the National Guard.
00:17:11.300 Let's just put that up.
00:17:12.720 Okay, now you see they break through.
00:17:38.620 So they push through and they ultimately break through the chain there,
00:17:49.780 the human chain set up by the National Guard.
00:17:52.000 Before we talk about this, here's a little more information from a local news report.
00:17:55.880 The shocking video highlights the growing frustrations of presumptive asylum seekers
00:18:01.120 and the efforts of federal authorities to prevent the illegal crossings.
00:18:06.320 Our KTSM 9 News reporter, Tirza Ortiz, is live with more.
00:18:09.560 Tirza.
00:18:10.200 Well, Skylar, that's right.
00:18:11.720 We just watched that chaotic video of hours ago right behind me that took place at Gate 36.
00:18:19.280 Now, the confrontation comes just a day after the Court of Appeals put a block
00:18:23.660 on the controversial immigration bill known as Senate Bill 4.
00:18:28.560 Our partners at Border Reports say today's events come days after documented verbal confrontations
00:18:33.680 between the Texas National Guard and migrants.
00:18:36.680 However, nothing has ever escalated past shouts up until this afternoon.
00:18:40.160 This video taken by our KTSM crew shows two soldiers holding a man down on the ground
00:18:45.440 while two women shout and plead for the soldiers to stop.
00:18:48.220 This chaotic scene is something Border Patrol agents say is avoidable.
00:18:51.780 I mainly wanted to play that report from KTSM, Embassy Affiliate in El Paso,
00:18:57.260 because of that great phrase at the beginning.
00:18:59.660 What was it?
00:19:00.620 Presumptive asylum seeker.
00:19:02.220 So now, rowdy, violent groups of male illegal immigrants are presumptive asylum seekers,
00:19:09.700 meaning they haven't gone through, of course, any legal channel to seek asylum.
00:19:14.440 We don't even know that they will.
00:19:16.980 I mean, they're not going to go through any legal channels.
00:19:19.620 So we don't, you know, all we know is that there's just this mob of people at the border
00:19:23.340 trying to sneak in.
00:19:24.220 And, but we presume, we presume they want asylum, so they're presumptive asylum seekers,
00:19:30.240 which means now that every single illegal immigrant who comes across the border
00:19:34.800 is either an asylum seeker or, if not, a presumptive asylum seeker.
00:19:39.960 That covers all of them, and that's the way that it works now.
00:19:43.460 And as to the video of those guys pushing past the National Guard,
00:19:48.700 well, look, if we're going to post the military down there,
00:19:51.400 but we're not going to let them use force,
00:19:56.440 then you might as well not have them there at all.
00:20:00.420 In fact, I'd rather not have the National Guard.
00:20:03.600 It's better to not have them if they can't use force, because it's embarrassing.
00:20:07.720 I mean, it's pathetic.
00:20:11.040 The image of, you know, of having the National Guard down there,
00:20:16.940 and then these illegal immigrants pushed right through them.
00:20:22.160 That is the image of a weak, neutered, impotent nation.
00:20:25.960 One where the military is posted on the border,
00:20:28.140 but you can walk right up to them and push them out of the way
00:20:31.220 and continue right along.
00:20:33.560 It is absolutely pathetic.
00:20:36.600 Now, am I advocating for the military to shoot illegals
00:20:40.200 who are trying to sneak across?
00:20:41.300 I'm not advocating anything.
00:20:42.480 In fact, I very much don't want to see that.
00:20:44.020 I'd prefer if none of this was happening.
00:20:45.780 I very much would prefer if we had a strong, orderly border,
00:20:51.740 which makes for a peaceful border and nobody gets hurt.
00:20:55.700 And that's what I want.
00:20:57.800 That's what I advocate for.
00:20:59.560 That's what I would love to see.
00:21:01.380 But if an angry mob is physically assaulting
00:21:03.700 the National Guardsmen that are standing there to protect our nation,
00:21:07.780 they have every right, and I would say,
00:21:09.260 a duty to use whatever physical means necessary
00:21:11.400 to regain control of the situation.
00:21:14.020 And the result, however unfortunate,
00:21:16.460 will be the fault of the angry mob
00:21:18.100 who have no right to be there in the first place.
00:21:21.040 This is not your country.
00:21:23.400 And this should be obvious.
00:21:24.720 It shouldn't even be controversial.
00:21:26.100 If you're going to put men with guns anywhere to protect anything,
00:21:29.460 then implicitly you have to allow them to use force when necessary
00:21:33.900 and when they're attacked by violent mobs.
00:21:37.580 If you're not going to let them do that,
00:21:38.880 then they shouldn't be there.
00:21:39.560 Also, even without the violent mob,
00:21:42.640 I mean, this is a matter of national security as well.
00:21:46.100 And we know that the people that run our country will never frame it that way.
00:21:48.620 They won't talk about it that way.
00:21:50.380 I mean, they'll use the term national security all the time,
00:21:52.280 but they won't use it to talk about the border.
00:21:54.100 When in that case, it actually applies.
00:21:58.240 And this is what gets me,
00:21:59.380 because our government will go overseas
00:22:03.480 and they will drone bomb Middle Eastern villages
00:22:07.180 and kill lots of people, including innocent civilians.
00:22:10.460 And we'll do all this in the name of national security.
00:22:15.420 And most Americans won't care that much, won't be that upset.
00:22:18.700 Not a big scandal.
00:22:20.620 Just as one example, think back to last year
00:22:23.700 when Biden sent a drone to, I think it was Syria,
00:22:27.860 to kill an Al-Qaeda leader.
00:22:30.220 And they incinerated the guy and they bragged about it,
00:22:34.060 put the video up.
00:22:35.100 They sent the video out so we could all see.
00:22:36.260 And then we find out a few days later that,
00:22:38.660 oh, no, the guy they killed was a father of 10
00:22:40.660 who was an innocent civilian
00:22:42.120 and had nothing to do with Al-Qaeda.
00:22:44.800 And it wasn't even considered a scandal.
00:22:46.900 I don't think Biden himself ever answered any questions about it.
00:22:50.980 And if it was a scandal, it was like a scandal.
00:22:52.920 It's like a couple of days, people were a little upset.
00:22:55.660 And then they could just say, oops, yeah, we got that one wrong.
00:22:58.940 Our bad.
00:23:00.840 Whoops.
00:23:01.160 So overseas, we have a very relaxed, very generous view
00:23:07.620 of what counts as national security.
00:23:11.320 And we're willing, and when I say we, I mean the government.
00:23:15.760 So it's not we.
00:23:17.400 They are willing to kill thousands of people over the years
00:23:20.640 for the sake of national security.
00:23:22.820 And all the people they're killing are thousands of miles away
00:23:28.160 from this country.
00:23:29.460 And there's no real risk that any one of them individually
00:23:31.900 will end up coming here.
00:23:33.700 Yet somehow the idea of using force to protect our border,
00:23:37.380 our actual national security, is unthinkable to a lot of people.
00:23:41.640 And the same administration that's off killing Syrian civilians
00:23:45.560 would never dream of allowing the National Guard
00:23:48.400 to use any kind of force in direct defense of itself
00:23:53.740 and of the nation itself.
00:23:57.480 All right.
00:23:58.320 This is from the Daily Wire.
00:23:59.420 Representative Jerry Nadler took a wave of backlash on Thursday
00:24:02.280 after he claimed during a House hearing
00:24:03.500 that men do not compete in women's sports.
00:24:05.560 Nadler's comments was a response to Representative Harriet Hageman,
00:24:09.100 who had offered into evidence a list of instances
00:24:11.380 in which men had usurped women's sporting events
00:24:13.740 to make them their own.
00:24:16.480 Let's watch that moment with Representative Nadler.
00:24:20.500 Ask unanimous consent to submit for the record
00:24:23.560 the instances of men hijacking women's sports
00:24:27.000 and the various examples that we have
00:24:30.960 demonstrating not only the injuries
00:24:33.440 that have been suffered by women
00:24:34.920 as men have participated in girls' sports,
00:24:38.300 but also the girls and women
00:24:40.520 who have been affected by this,
00:24:42.320 including Riley Gaines
00:24:45.980 when Will Thomas decided to join
00:24:48.960 the women's swimming team in Pennsylvania.
00:24:54.240 Again, this bill...
00:24:55.520 I object to concluding these mistruths in the record.
00:25:00.620 There's an objection.
00:25:03.980 Okay.
00:25:04.820 I think that speaks volumes as well.
00:25:08.040 If you do not want in the record
00:25:09.840 the information about the impact.
00:25:12.780 So he calls it mistruths.
00:25:14.720 No explanation.
00:25:16.600 No further explanation is offered.
00:25:19.360 This is what they do.
00:25:20.220 They simply deny that the truth is true.
00:25:23.060 And we're left to speculate
00:25:24.360 about what exactly Nadler is denying.
00:25:27.980 Is he denying the whole controversy?
00:25:29.360 Is he denying the existence
00:25:31.040 of people like Leah Thomas?
00:25:32.700 Is he declaring that none of this is real?
00:25:34.280 Fallon Fox,
00:25:35.040 the man who beat women to a pulp,
00:25:36.800 cracked their skulls in MMA?
00:25:38.940 Is he denying that any of that even happened?
00:25:42.100 It's possible.
00:25:43.720 It's possible that he's declaring
00:25:45.020 that all of the stuff
00:25:45.900 we have all seen happen
00:25:47.020 over the last five years,
00:25:48.180 last ten years,
00:25:49.200 didn't happen at all.
00:25:51.380 And it didn't happen
00:25:52.420 because he, Nadler,
00:25:53.340 wishes that it didn't happen
00:25:54.400 or wants us to not know
00:25:58.180 that it happened
00:25:58.840 and therefore it didn't.
00:26:00.460 So he could mean that.
00:26:01.360 Alternatively,
00:26:01.920 Nadler could, of course,
00:26:02.760 be saying that
00:26:03.340 men have not invaded women's sports,
00:26:05.780 that that is a mistruth
00:26:06.800 because all of the men
00:26:10.240 who invaded women's sports
00:26:11.460 are not really men.
00:26:13.020 How are they not men?
00:26:15.280 Well, because they said
00:26:16.180 they aren't men.
00:26:17.480 And if somebody says
00:26:18.160 they aren't a man,
00:26:18.960 then that automatically
00:26:19.980 makes them not a man.
00:26:20.960 And the biological advantages
00:26:24.400 that men have
00:26:25.400 suddenly evaporate
00:26:26.600 once a man declares
00:26:28.200 that he's not actually a man.
00:26:29.720 You know, it's like
00:26:30.120 it's like if a 400-pound wrestler
00:26:32.540 jumps off the top rope
00:26:35.100 and lands right on top of you.
00:26:37.340 It's not going to crush you
00:26:38.680 as long as he declares
00:26:40.080 ahead of time
00:26:40.760 that he's not really 400 pounds,
00:26:42.960 that he's actually 85 pounds.
00:26:44.940 And if he just says that,
00:26:46.240 then the fact that he says it
00:26:48.200 and believes it
00:26:49.120 makes it effectively true
00:26:51.160 and you'll be safe.
00:26:53.120 That's what Nadler is saying.
00:26:54.060 Maybe.
00:26:55.860 Either way,
00:26:56.400 he's denying the plain reality
00:26:58.260 that's in front of all of our faces.
00:27:00.360 And because he's a Democrat
00:27:01.480 and because transgenderism
00:27:02.640 obviously is sacrosanct,
00:27:03.920 he will never be asked
00:27:05.200 for any further explanation
00:27:07.600 and he won't offer one either.
00:27:11.520 All right, moving to this.
00:27:12.200 New York Post has this report.
00:27:13.460 The family of the Missouri girl
00:27:14.740 who has been charged
00:27:16.060 with beating 16-year-old Kaylee Gain
00:27:18.000 into unconsciousness
00:27:19.160 says she's the real victim
00:27:22.820 and had been harassed
00:27:24.020 and bullied
00:27:24.480 before the caught-on-video assault.
00:27:26.760 The 15-year-old's aunt
00:27:27.640 told Daily Mail
00:27:28.700 that her niece,
00:27:29.400 described as an honor student
00:27:30.620 with a stellar record
00:27:31.700 at Hazelwood East High School,
00:27:33.580 was defending herself
00:27:34.640 during the viral March 8th fight
00:27:36.280 in Spanish Lakes, Missouri.
00:27:38.500 The accused attacker's loved ones
00:27:40.840 are asking the juvenile court system
00:27:42.280 to show compassion for the teen
00:27:43.540 and they're seeking $150,000
00:27:45.140 in donations
00:27:45.960 towards her legal defense.
00:27:47.200 The teen suspect's family
00:27:48.900 on Saturday
00:27:49.580 launched a petition
00:27:50.740 on Change.org
00:27:51.640 begging Chief Juvenile Officer
00:27:53.180 Rick Gaines
00:27:53.820 of the 21st Circuit Court
00:27:55.880 not to charge her as an adult.
00:27:58.440 The petition highlighted
00:27:59.580 the girl's many academic
00:28:00.700 and athletic accomplishments,
00:28:01.980 including the fact
00:28:02.600 that she speaks four languages,
00:28:05.180 plays the violin
00:28:05.940 in the school orchestra,
00:28:07.280 and is on the volleyball team
00:28:09.680 and had recently been selected
00:28:11.260 for college-level AP classes.
00:28:13.160 Quote,
00:28:14.820 Prior to an incident
00:28:15.540 on March 8th
00:28:16.200 where she was seen
00:28:17.640 defending herself
00:28:18.600 from harassment and bullying,
00:28:20.120 she had never been in trouble.
00:28:21.360 Her work as a scholar
00:28:22.320 was tainted by the bullying
00:28:26.840 she had to endure at school.
00:28:28.540 Okay.
00:28:30.980 A few things on this one.
00:28:34.680 First of all,
00:28:35.540 the idea that
00:28:36.480 this skinny little white girl
00:28:39.020 was harassing
00:28:40.180 and bullying
00:28:40.860 the black kids
00:28:41.980 is just ridiculous.
00:28:44.200 Like,
00:28:44.480 give me a break.
00:28:45.740 Nobody believes that.
00:28:46.920 Okay.
00:28:47.300 Nobody looks at
00:28:48.260 Kaylee Gaines,
00:28:51.120 the child
00:28:52.440 that was
00:28:52.840 the victim here.
00:28:55.420 Nobody looks at her
00:28:56.360 and says,
00:28:56.820 oh yeah,
00:28:57.160 oh yeah,
00:28:57.440 she's the bully
00:28:58.220 in this scenario.
00:28:59.380 It didn't happen.
00:29:00.800 I guarantee it didn't happen.
00:29:01.760 But,
00:29:02.400 of course,
00:29:02.660 even if it did,
00:29:03.300 it doesn't matter.
00:29:04.980 Because once somebody
00:29:05.980 is knocked down,
00:29:06.820 once they're lying
00:29:07.460 on the pavement,
00:29:08.080 the supposed bullying
00:29:10.480 and harassment
00:29:11.400 that they were
00:29:12.820 allegedly guilty of
00:29:14.040 is over.
00:29:16.020 Right?
00:29:16.500 And you can leave
00:29:17.080 the situation.
00:29:18.000 Your claim of self-defense
00:29:19.240 is now,
00:29:20.140 it ends there.
00:29:22.580 And when you get
00:29:23.340 on top of that person,
00:29:24.320 you begin banging
00:29:25.600 their head into the pavement,
00:29:26.660 not just once,
00:29:27.820 but many times,
00:29:29.300 over and over again
00:29:30.000 until they're unconscious.
00:29:32.000 And then even
00:29:32.420 while they're unconscious,
00:29:34.540 you're still banging
00:29:35.080 their head against the pavement,
00:29:36.320 you have now clearly
00:29:37.540 exceeded the bounds.
00:29:38.640 I mean,
00:29:38.760 you have far,
00:29:39.580 far exceeded the bounds
00:29:40.620 of anything that can be
00:29:41.460 considered self-defense
00:29:42.540 or a justified response
00:29:44.320 to alleged bullying.
00:29:46.120 Bullying that,
00:29:46.860 again,
00:29:47.080 I'm sure never happened.
00:29:49.200 But,
00:29:49.660 you know,
00:29:51.020 the underlying problem here,
00:29:52.020 of course,
00:29:52.260 is the total lack
00:29:53.000 of accountability.
00:29:54.060 If this girl,
00:29:54.980 if this attacker,
00:29:55.740 if her guilt
00:29:56.480 can be mitigated at all,
00:29:58.640 it's not because
00:29:59.560 she's supposedly
00:30:00.100 an honor roll student,
00:30:02.100 which,
00:30:03.500 I'll be honest,
00:30:04.360 I have trouble
00:30:04.840 buying that,
00:30:06.640 but speaks four languages
00:30:09.280 fluently,
00:30:10.320 sure.
00:30:11.820 But also,
00:30:12.860 doesn't matter,
00:30:13.740 makes no difference.
00:30:14.520 Even if that's true,
00:30:15.220 doesn't matter.
00:30:16.240 Even if she was bullied,
00:30:17.100 doesn't matter.
00:30:18.780 None of that mitigates it.
00:30:21.700 But if anything
00:30:22.680 does mitigate her guilt,
00:30:23.820 it's that she clearly
00:30:24.520 was not raised well.
00:30:26.160 Most likely,
00:30:26.760 she was not raised
00:30:27.520 at all,
00:30:28.100 really.
00:30:28.780 No accountability,
00:30:29.780 no discipline,
00:30:30.620 no moral formation.
00:30:31.620 So that's the real
00:30:33.040 mitigating factor here.
00:30:35.260 And I do think
00:30:36.120 it's a mitigating factor.
00:30:37.900 You know,
00:30:38.020 when you've got a kid
00:30:38.920 who's 15 or 16,
00:30:40.700 and just,
00:30:42.680 they have awful
00:30:45.000 or absent parents,
00:30:47.100 and they're acting out
00:30:48.880 in terrible ways,
00:30:50.700 yeah,
00:30:51.140 it's fair to say
00:30:51.960 that a big part
00:30:53.300 of the reason
00:30:53.640 why they're doing that
00:30:54.480 is because the parents
00:30:55.520 failed them.
00:30:57.820 Although in this case,
00:30:59.080 the girl still should
00:31:00.800 be charged as an adult
00:31:02.240 and sent to prison
00:31:02.920 because even with all
00:31:03.840 that taken into account,
00:31:04.840 the fact that she tried
00:31:05.660 to kill somebody
00:31:06.480 and almost did
00:31:08.200 overrides all of that.
00:31:12.580 You know,
00:31:12.820 there are lines
00:31:13.420 that you cross,
00:31:14.260 and once you cross
00:31:15.080 that line,
00:31:16.160 it doesn't matter
00:31:16.900 why you crossed it.
00:31:18.020 It doesn't matter
00:31:18.460 what's going on
00:31:18.940 in your life.
00:31:19.420 It doesn't matter
00:31:19.900 whatever trauma
00:31:20.540 you've suffered.
00:31:21.100 It really doesn't matter
00:31:22.680 once you've crossed
00:31:24.380 that line.
00:31:25.820 There have to be
00:31:26.560 consequences for that
00:31:27.460 behavior,
00:31:27.860 severe consequences.
00:31:29.080 No matter how poorly
00:31:30.200 she was raised.
00:31:32.920 And if being raised
00:31:34.080 poorly was an excuse,
00:31:35.720 something to let
00:31:36.200 people off the hook,
00:31:37.060 then nearly everybody
00:31:37.840 in prison right now
00:31:38.640 should be let out of prison
00:31:39.500 because,
00:31:41.260 which there are plenty
00:31:42.740 of DAs and judges
00:31:43.680 in this country
00:31:44.440 that would love
00:31:44.880 to do exactly that,
00:31:45.700 of course.
00:31:47.080 And I'm not saying
00:31:47.760 that the family,
00:31:48.300 you know,
00:31:49.060 it's not that they
00:31:49.920 should come out publicly
00:31:51.920 and condemn the girl.
00:31:53.620 I wouldn't expect
00:31:54.220 them to do that.
00:31:56.000 But you don't need
00:31:56.960 to offer excuses
00:31:57.940 for her.
00:31:59.080 You don't need
00:31:59.720 to imply
00:32:00.300 or explicitly argue
00:32:01.500 that her good grades
00:32:02.380 are somehow
00:32:02.760 a mitigating factor.
00:32:04.420 You don't need
00:32:05.060 to try to blame
00:32:05.780 the victim here
00:32:06.520 by saying
00:32:07.160 that she was bullying.
00:32:09.460 You don't need
00:32:10.080 to try to fundraise
00:32:11.300 and get petitions
00:32:13.200 signed.
00:32:14.640 You know,
00:32:15.040 if the family
00:32:15.460 said nothing
00:32:16.000 at all publicly
00:32:16.640 except that they're
00:32:17.240 praying for the full
00:32:17.960 recovery of the victim,
00:32:19.020 then that would tell me
00:32:19.700 that this girl,
00:32:20.640 you know,
00:32:21.220 is more of a bad apple
00:32:23.380 who lashed out violently
00:32:24.560 despite being raised well.
00:32:26.420 And that can happen
00:32:26.980 after all.
00:32:28.280 Good parenting
00:32:28.780 is no guarantee
00:32:30.040 against kids
00:32:31.400 doing horrible things.
00:32:32.860 But what this behavior,
00:32:34.020 with this behavior,
00:32:35.360 it tells us,
00:32:36.020 confirms for us
00:32:36.780 that, you know,
00:32:38.300 what we already expected,
00:32:39.320 which is that this is
00:32:40.040 a whole family
00:32:40.800 of people
00:32:41.220 who refuse
00:32:41.660 to be accountable,
00:32:42.780 refuse to hold
00:32:43.420 themselves
00:32:43.900 and hold their children
00:32:45.340 to any sort
00:32:46.000 of moral standard
00:32:46.820 because that's
00:32:47.320 what it comes down to.
00:32:48.760 You have to establish
00:32:50.180 moral standards
00:32:51.220 for your kids
00:32:52.160 and hold them to it.
00:32:53.100 That's the work
00:32:53.800 of parenting.
00:32:54.480 I mean,
00:32:54.640 that's not the whole deal
00:32:57.240 because you also
00:32:58.320 have to provide
00:32:58.880 for their physical needs
00:33:00.140 and all of that
00:33:00.840 and food,
00:33:01.340 shelter,
00:33:01.600 and the rest of it.
00:33:02.160 But so much of it
00:33:04.220 is simply
00:33:05.760 establishing moral standards
00:33:07.840 and holding your kids
00:33:08.580 to it.
00:33:09.660 That's the hard part.
00:33:11.340 And the hardest thing
00:33:12.120 about it is that
00:33:12.760 when you establish
00:33:13.420 those standards
00:33:14.100 for your kids,
00:33:16.520 you know,
00:33:17.660 that means first
00:33:19.120 and foremost
00:33:19.640 holding yourself
00:33:20.700 to the same standards.
00:33:21.760 So if one of the standards
00:33:23.140 you have for your kids
00:33:23.960 is that you want them
00:33:24.620 to be patient,
00:33:26.180 well,
00:33:27.260 then you have to be patient.
00:33:28.360 And the more that you
00:33:29.060 break that standard
00:33:30.100 of patience,
00:33:31.400 then the more impatient
00:33:33.220 you are,
00:33:33.760 the more that they
00:33:34.320 will follow your lead
00:33:35.480 and fail to live up
00:33:36.200 to the standards
00:33:36.660 that you are also
00:33:37.300 failing to live up to.
00:33:39.040 And this is,
00:33:42.880 this again is what
00:33:44.080 parenting is,
00:33:45.060 but many of these kids
00:33:46.020 they're raised
00:33:46.780 without any standards
00:33:48.560 at all.
00:33:50.400 And in fact,
00:33:50.900 I think if you were
00:33:51.480 to ask the parents
00:33:52.460 and by that I mean
00:33:54.020 usually the mom
00:33:54.880 because so often
00:33:56.100 the dad is not there
00:33:56.900 so being another
00:33:57.540 big part of the problem.
00:33:59.260 But if you were
00:33:59.800 to ask the mom,
00:34:01.520 like you were
00:34:01.800 to take the,
00:34:02.480 say the mom
00:34:03.380 of this girl
00:34:04.760 and you were
00:34:07.200 just to ask her,
00:34:08.240 what are the moral
00:34:09.680 standards
00:34:10.220 that you hold
00:34:12.240 your child to?
00:34:13.820 What are the moral
00:34:14.580 standards in your home
00:34:15.580 for your family?
00:34:17.580 I'm guessing that
00:34:18.260 if you were to ask
00:34:18.820 that question,
00:34:19.440 you wouldn't even,
00:34:21.120 they wouldn't even
00:34:22.020 be able to answer it.
00:34:22.720 There would be no answer.
00:34:25.020 Even like in theory,
00:34:26.540 she couldn't tell you
00:34:27.260 because the thought
00:34:28.680 of establishing
00:34:29.200 moral standards
00:34:29.900 for a child
00:34:30.500 never even occurred to her.
00:34:33.380 And I think we can
00:34:34.800 clearly see that
00:34:35.340 was the case here.
00:34:36.740 Which again,
00:34:37.260 is no excuse for the kid.
00:34:38.640 Not when the crime
00:34:39.340 is this bad.
00:34:40.980 And one other thought
00:34:41.740 I had about this,
00:34:42.480 remember that case
00:34:43.180 we discussed
00:34:43.620 several weeks ago?
00:34:44.340 There was the school
00:34:45.000 shooter
00:34:45.440 whose parents
00:34:47.000 were charged
00:34:50.800 and convicted
00:34:51.500 also in the crime.
00:34:54.620 I think they were
00:34:55.060 convicted of,
00:34:55.700 I believe it was
00:34:56.380 manslaughter
00:34:56.820 is what they were
00:34:57.180 convicted of.
00:34:58.560 And basically,
00:34:59.980 even though they
00:35:00.700 obviously didn't
00:35:01.920 shoot up the school
00:35:03.100 and it was never
00:35:04.600 claimed that they
00:35:05.540 were involved
00:35:06.520 in any way
00:35:07.160 in organizing it
00:35:08.940 or anything like that,
00:35:12.500 but they were
00:35:13.020 essentially charged
00:35:13.920 and convicted
00:35:14.380 of being really
00:35:14.960 bad parents,
00:35:15.700 being really bad
00:35:16.380 negligent parents
00:35:17.200 and the claim
00:35:18.220 was that,
00:35:19.040 hey,
00:35:19.120 if you were
00:35:19.400 better parents
00:35:19.960 if you had
00:35:20.260 done your job
00:35:20.880 then this never
00:35:21.820 would have happened.
00:35:22.320 Which is true,
00:35:23.280 probably.
00:35:23.900 That if they had,
00:35:24.480 I mean,
00:35:24.720 certainly true
00:35:25.180 that they were
00:35:25.420 bad parents,
00:35:26.440 probably true
00:35:27.080 that if they
00:35:27.400 had been better
00:35:27.780 parents this
00:35:28.180 would not have
00:35:28.500 happened.
00:35:29.760 But my point
00:35:30.440 at the time,
00:35:31.620 if you recall,
00:35:32.260 is that even
00:35:33.820 though I agree
00:35:34.500 that they are
00:35:35.020 largely to blame
00:35:35.880 for what happened,
00:35:37.360 I don't think
00:35:38.520 you can charge
00:35:39.040 and convict them
00:35:39.660 like,
00:35:39.960 I mean,
00:35:40.280 they did,
00:35:41.280 but I think
00:35:41.680 that opens up
00:35:42.300 a can of worms,
00:35:43.840 that opens up
00:35:44.500 a Pandora's box,
00:35:45.540 whatever metaphor
00:35:46.720 you want to use.
00:35:48.320 Because then
00:35:48.860 what do you do
00:35:49.220 in a case like this?
00:35:52.120 Like,
00:35:52.640 yes,
00:35:52.880 in this case
00:35:53.400 this is not as bad
00:35:54.040 as a school shooting
00:35:54.700 because fortunately
00:35:55.940 the victim
00:35:56.520 has not died,
00:35:58.200 but here you have
00:35:59.020 a brutal assault,
00:35:59.920 an attempted murder
00:36:00.740 that almost certainly
00:36:03.100 would not have happened
00:36:04.080 if this girl
00:36:05.800 was raised better.
00:36:07.580 In this case
00:36:08.320 you can almost certainly
00:36:09.460 to a large degree
00:36:11.540 blame the parents.
00:36:14.020 So are we going
00:36:14.660 to arrest them too?
00:36:16.220 I mean,
00:36:16.400 why do they get off the hook?
00:36:18.600 If this is what
00:36:19.320 we're doing now,
00:36:19.900 if we're arresting parents
00:36:20.800 for bad parenting
00:36:21.540 when their child
00:36:22.260 does something
00:36:23.380 vicious and brutal
00:36:24.560 and violent,
00:36:26.500 how does it begin
00:36:27.860 and end
00:36:28.520 with that one case
00:36:29.760 as if that's
00:36:31.080 the one example
00:36:32.220 of really bad parents
00:36:34.800 who have kids
00:36:35.520 who do really bad,
00:36:36.500 terrible things?
00:36:39.700 I don't see
00:36:40.540 how you can justify that.
00:36:41.540 I want to play
00:36:46.600 this quick clip
00:36:47.280 from a preschool teacher
00:36:48.760 talking about
00:36:49.800 how her students,
00:36:53.440 I barely call them
00:36:54.760 students,
00:36:55.400 preschool,
00:36:56.260 but anyway,
00:36:57.020 they are very good allies,
00:36:58.400 she says.
00:36:58.920 Listen.
00:37:00.080 I posted that video
00:37:01.160 on my Instagram as well
00:37:02.140 and it got an insane
00:37:03.160 amount of hate,
00:37:04.160 so I'm going to share
00:37:04.580 more positive interactions
00:37:05.520 with the preschool-aged
00:37:06.440 kids I work with.
00:37:07.360 For context,
00:37:08.040 I'm a trans person
00:37:08.760 who does not pass
00:37:09.520 as the gender
00:37:09.980 they identify with.
00:37:10.920 Yesterday,
00:37:11.360 one of the other staff
00:37:12.020 came up to me
00:37:12.680 and she was talking to me
00:37:13.680 and then started talking
00:37:14.400 to the kids about me
00:37:15.260 and she,
00:37:16.480 her pronouns for me
00:37:17.600 and one of the kids
00:37:18.700 interrupted her
00:37:19.360 and went,
00:37:20.220 he's a boy.
00:37:23.060 So,
00:37:23.800 you know what?
00:37:24.720 Pop off.
00:37:25.240 My biggest allies
00:37:25.780 are three years old.
00:37:28.960 Your biggest allies
00:37:30.000 are three years old.
00:37:32.420 Yeah,
00:37:32.640 do you know why?
00:37:34.340 Have you thought about
00:37:35.020 why that is?
00:37:36.760 Well,
00:37:37.300 it's because
00:37:37.700 three-year-olds
00:37:39.340 naturally accept
00:37:40.480 anything you tell them.
00:37:42.040 Three-year-olds
00:37:42.580 have no capacity
00:37:43.540 at all
00:37:44.120 to think critically
00:37:45.420 about anything
00:37:46.380 that an adult
00:37:47.460 says to them.
00:37:49.400 Three-year-olds
00:37:50.300 will have
00:37:52.580 no skepticism
00:37:54.740 at all
00:37:55.560 about anything.
00:37:57.920 Three-year-olds
00:37:58.660 believe in the tooth fairy.
00:37:59.980 You know,
00:38:00.140 they believe that
00:38:00.620 a magical fairy
00:38:01.420 flies through the window
00:38:02.300 at night
00:38:02.620 and confiscates
00:38:03.420 discarded teeth.
00:38:05.800 Not only do they believe it,
00:38:07.200 but it doesn't occur to them
00:38:08.360 to be freaked out
00:38:08.980 by the idea.
00:38:11.200 Magical fat man
00:38:12.100 watching them
00:38:12.680 while they sleep
00:38:13.700 and knowing
00:38:14.440 when they're awake
00:38:15.100 and knows if you've been
00:38:16.300 bad or good.
00:38:17.600 You know,
00:38:17.920 believe it implicitly
00:38:19.040 and without the slightest
00:38:19.900 skepticism and again,
00:38:20.660 without even,
00:38:21.560 you know,
00:38:22.440 thinking that there's
00:38:23.060 anything terrifying
00:38:23.640 about this prospect.
00:38:24.620 They just accept it.
00:38:26.580 Because three-year-olds
00:38:27.540 believe anything
00:38:28.300 and not only that,
00:38:29.960 not only do they
00:38:30.600 believe anything,
00:38:31.200 but they believe
00:38:31.740 the framing
00:38:32.240 that you give it.
00:38:34.380 So you tell them
00:38:35.160 this is happening
00:38:35.780 and it's good.
00:38:37.600 The magical fat man
00:38:38.480 is watching you
00:38:39.400 everywhere you go,
00:38:40.900 keeping a list.
00:38:42.220 But it's a good thing,
00:38:42.920 though.
00:38:44.140 And they'll believe that.
00:38:45.700 And that's why,
00:38:46.600 because they're three.
00:38:48.480 And that's why
00:38:49.720 they're your biggest allies.
00:38:51.360 Because to you,
00:38:52.380 an ally
00:38:52.820 is somebody
00:38:53.460 who compliantly
00:38:54.540 accepts
00:38:55.180 whatever nonsensical
00:38:56.380 claim you make.
00:38:58.060 An ally
00:38:58.740 is somebody
00:38:59.380 with no
00:39:00.240 independent thought process
00:39:02.120 of their own.
00:39:02.680 An ally
00:39:02.940 is someone
00:39:03.320 who doesn't
00:39:04.300 ask
00:39:04.580 skeptical
00:39:04.980 questions.
00:39:06.300 An ally
00:39:06.760 is someone
00:39:07.180 who
00:39:07.380 applauds
00:39:07.940 you
00:39:08.320 no matter
00:39:09.800 what you do.
00:39:11.900 An ally
00:39:12.460 is someone
00:39:12.700 who won't even
00:39:13.140 raise an eyebrow
00:39:13.960 skeptically,
00:39:14.880 like,
00:39:15.140 no matter what
00:39:15.560 you say.
00:39:17.020 So you could be
00:39:17.660 a woman
00:39:18.000 who's
00:39:18.500 just a woman
00:39:20.240 making no effort
00:39:20.920 to appear
00:39:21.460 anything like
00:39:22.160 anything but a woman,
00:39:22.840 but you say,
00:39:23.140 yeah,
00:39:23.280 I'm a man.
00:39:24.080 In spite of all that,
00:39:25.000 I'm a man.
00:39:26.260 And to you,
00:39:27.760 an ally
00:39:28.020 is someone
00:39:28.360 who goes,
00:39:28.720 oh,
00:39:28.860 okay,
00:39:30.020 all right.
00:39:32.680 Someone who
00:39:33.200 believes
00:39:33.520 anything and
00:39:34.360 everything you
00:39:34.720 say,
00:39:35.060 no matter
00:39:35.440 what.
00:39:36.760 So yeah,
00:39:37.160 your biggest
00:39:37.560 allies are
00:39:38.120 three-year-olds.
00:39:40.220 Another way
00:39:40.880 of saying
00:39:42.020 that is
00:39:42.640 this,
00:39:43.980 your victims
00:39:45.320 are three
00:39:46.780 years old.
00:39:48.360 Your primary
00:39:49.460 victims are
00:39:50.260 three years old,
00:39:50.760 which is really
00:39:51.380 what you
00:39:51.760 are saying.
00:39:53.520 Your brainwashing
00:39:54.700 victims are
00:39:55.440 three years old.
00:39:56.920 Your
00:39:57.180 indoctrination
00:39:58.020 subjects
00:39:58.620 are three
00:40:00.100 years old.
00:40:01.300 I think that's
00:40:02.060 what's actually
00:40:03.080 being conveyed.
00:40:04.180 Let's get to
00:40:04.840 the comment
00:40:05.340 section.
00:40:05.880 If you're a man,
00:40:06.940 it's required
00:40:07.640 that you
00:40:08.160 grow a bit.
00:40:09.100 Hey,
00:40:10.820 we're the
00:40:11.540 sweet baby
00:40:12.140 gang.
00:40:15.420 Keeping
00:40:15.860 windshields
00:40:16.300 clean is always
00:40:16.860 a pain,
00:40:17.180 especially with
00:40:17.720 all the rain
00:40:18.340 we've been
00:40:18.620 getting here
00:40:18.940 in Nashville.
00:40:19.300 That's why
00:40:19.580 I am so
00:40:20.120 grateful to
00:40:20.980 have
00:40:21.140 Windshield
00:40:21.600 Wow.
00:40:22.060 Windshield
00:40:22.360 Wow is an
00:40:23.240 innovative windshield
00:40:24.100 cleaning device
00:40:24.720 that uses two
00:40:25.480 magnetic cleaning
00:40:26.240 paddles,
00:40:26.700 one on the
00:40:27.060 inside and
00:40:27.520 one on the
00:40:27.820 outside of
00:40:28.240 your car
00:40:28.480 to clean
00:40:28.920 both sides
00:40:29.600 of a
00:40:29.820 windshield,
00:40:30.220 all from
00:40:30.660 the outside.
00:40:32.120 Being able
00:40:32.480 to clean
00:40:32.740 both the
00:40:33.080 front and
00:40:33.420 the inside
00:40:33.840 window at
00:40:34.220 the same
00:40:34.460 time is a
00:40:34.940 game changer.
00:40:35.460 I wish I
00:40:35.720 had one of
00:40:35.980 these years
00:40:36.340 ago.
00:40:37.200 Windshield
00:40:37.440 Wow applies
00:40:38.000 firm cleaning
00:40:38.660 pressure and
00:40:39.160 is super thin
00:40:39.760 to get into
00:40:40.120 those tight
00:40:40.600 dashboard areas.
00:40:41.960 All you
00:40:42.140 got to do
00:40:42.500 is push
00:40:43.840 around the
00:40:44.160 outside paddle
00:40:44.780 and the
00:40:45.080 inside follows
00:40:45.680 automatically,
00:40:46.720 leaving your
00:40:47.180 windshield squeaky
00:40:47.980 clean.
00:40:48.740 Washing your
00:40:49.100 car windshield
00:40:49.560 enhances visibility
00:40:50.540 and driving
00:40:51.060 safety and
00:40:51.540 helps preserve
00:40:52.220 the integrity
00:40:53.060 of your vehicle's
00:40:53.860 glass and
00:40:54.260 paint work.
00:40:55.100 It's a simple
00:40:55.520 yet essential
00:40:56.060 aspect of
00:40:56.640 car maintenance
00:40:57.160 that shouldn't
00:40:57.740 be overlooked.

00:41:06.060 A few
00:41:06.560 comments here.
00:41:07.580 First one
00:41:08.140 says,
00:41:08.420 for people
00:41:08.660 like me
00:41:09.080 on the
00:41:09.520 road 365
00:41:10.380 days a
00:41:11.020 year,
00:41:11.340 Planet Fitness
00:41:11.840 makes it
00:41:12.220 notoriously
00:41:12.700 difficult to
00:41:13.440 cancel a
00:41:13.860 membership.
00:41:14.420 Their rules
00:41:14.800 say you
00:41:15.400 have to go
00:41:15.760 back to your
00:41:16.280 local gym
00:41:16.800 to cancel.
00:41:17.520 That is
00:41:17.780 until I
00:41:18.100 found out
00:41:18.420 on your
00:41:18.660 show.
00:41:19.680 The quickest
00:41:20.000 way to
00:41:20.280 cancel your
00:41:20.600 membership is
00:41:21.000 to take a
00:41:21.360 picture in the
00:41:21.900 locker room
00:41:22.400 and post it
00:41:23.060 and they'll
00:41:23.840 cancel it
00:41:24.200 for you.
00:41:25.120 Hashtag
00:41:25.480 cancel Planet
00:41:26.000 Fitness.
00:41:28.260 Yeah,
00:41:28.740 that is
00:41:28.980 apparently one
00:41:29.540 way to do
00:41:30.080 it quickly,
00:41:30.540 although I
00:41:30.900 certainly
00:41:31.320 cannot endorse
00:41:32.080 that method.
00:41:33.600 And it is
00:41:33.960 true that
00:41:34.500 when we
00:41:36.600 talked about
00:41:36.920 Planet Fitness
00:41:37.340 yesterday,
00:41:38.600 that although
00:41:39.700 they've been
00:41:41.440 notoriously
00:41:42.140 woke for
00:41:43.560 a long
00:41:43.860 time,
00:41:45.520 but this
00:41:47.120 seems to
00:41:47.620 be the
00:41:48.060 first
00:41:48.540 boycott
00:41:50.060 Planet
00:41:50.440 Fitness
00:41:50.700 effort that
00:41:51.840 has really
00:41:52.200 taken hold.
00:41:53.280 And I
00:41:53.460 think one
00:41:53.880 of the
00:41:54.040 reasons is
00:41:54.460 this,
00:41:54.820 as we
00:41:56.780 mentioned,
00:41:57.480 they're
00:41:58.520 everywhere,
00:41:59.460 they're all
00:41:59.800 over the
00:42:00.060 country,
00:42:01.240 they're open
00:42:02.140 24-7,
00:42:03.580 they're really
00:42:04.060 cheap,
00:42:04.620 and so
00:42:04.860 cheap and
00:42:06.260 convenient,
00:42:06.780 it's very,
00:42:07.500 very difficult
00:42:08.000 to have a
00:42:10.140 successful
00:42:10.540 boycott
00:42:10.980 campaign against
00:42:11.820 something that
00:42:12.420 is cheap and
00:42:12.940 convenient,
00:42:13.280 because Americans
00:42:14.160 are hardwired
00:42:15.600 to prioritize
00:42:20.940 cheap and
00:42:21.680 convenient above
00:42:22.460 everything else.
00:42:24.020 But the
00:42:24.320 other thing is
00:42:24.700 what you
00:42:24.980 mentioned,
00:42:25.340 that they
00:42:25.580 make it so
00:42:26.520 hard to
00:42:27.040 cancel your
00:42:27.500 membership.
00:42:27.980 I mean,
00:42:28.100 you have to
00:42:28.440 climb a
00:42:29.660 mountain with
00:42:30.240 an offering
00:42:30.720 for a guru
00:42:32.540 perched on a
00:42:33.520 tree somewhere
00:42:34.080 and wait five
00:42:37.060 to seven business
00:42:37.700 days to find out
00:42:38.340 if your
00:42:38.540 cancellation
00:42:38.820 request was
00:42:39.400 accepted.
00:42:39.980 Although the
00:42:40.500 good news is
00:42:41.240 that I'm
00:42:42.560 pretty sure,
00:42:44.260 and I'm not
00:42:44.740 sure if this is
00:42:45.200 one of the
00:42:45.520 reasons why
00:42:46.120 this latest
00:42:46.580 boycott effort
00:42:47.120 is actually
00:42:47.720 gaining ground,
00:42:51.100 but I'm
00:42:51.380 pretty sure
00:42:51.740 that in some
00:42:52.740 cases now you
00:42:53.400 can actually
00:42:54.040 cancel your
00:42:54.860 Planet Fitness
00:42:55.780 membership
00:42:56.340 online.
00:42:57.200 I've seen a
00:42:58.180 couple people
00:42:58.520 post that.
00:42:59.720 I don't know
00:43:00.060 the specifics,
00:43:00.680 but I think
00:43:01.060 certain people,
00:43:02.680 from what I've
00:43:03.060 read, can go
00:43:05.040 online to your
00:43:06.040 membership portal
00:43:06.900 or whatever it
00:43:07.860 is and cancel
00:43:08.900 it from there.
00:43:09.900 So, just a
00:43:12.120 little tip if
00:43:12.920 you're looking to
00:43:13.600 cancel your
00:43:14.040 Planet Fitness
00:43:14.980 membership, which
00:43:15.660 everybody should
00:43:16.320 at least go
00:43:18.040 check to see
00:43:18.760 if you can do
00:43:19.100 it online.
00:43:20.100 If you can't,
00:43:20.800 then yeah, you
00:43:21.320 can't, they
00:43:21.680 won't let you,
00:43:22.020 you can't call,
00:43:24.080 you know, you
00:43:24.560 have to go in
00:43:25.340 in person and
00:43:26.060 they make it as
00:43:26.560 hard as they
00:43:26.900 possibly can.
00:43:28.600 Hey Matt, I
00:43:29.180 agree with your
00:43:29.580 eagle comparison,
00:43:30.340 but if you look
00:43:30.780 at the protections
00:43:31.280 of sea turtle
00:43:32.120 eggs, it's even
00:43:33.440 more absurd.
00:43:34.380 Unborn turtles
00:43:35.040 have more rights
00:43:35.740 than unborn
00:43:36.180 humans, and I
00:43:38.020 love turtles, but
00:43:38.720 really, yeah,
00:43:41.540 that's true.
00:43:42.000 I mean, we
00:43:42.620 talked about
00:43:44.280 eagles because
00:43:45.660 the federal
00:43:46.440 government happens
00:43:47.100 to be prosecuting
00:43:47.920 somebody who
00:43:48.600 killed bald
00:43:50.020 eagles, and
00:43:51.160 that case, yeah,
00:43:51.800 he killed, what
00:43:52.720 was it, 3,600
00:43:53.420 bald eagles?
00:43:55.180 I have nothing
00:43:57.240 wrong in
00:43:57.820 principle.
00:43:58.700 I have no
00:43:59.160 problem in
00:43:59.660 principle with
00:44:00.460 prosecuting
00:44:01.840 someone who
00:44:02.760 is like a
00:44:03.480 serial killer of
00:44:04.880 bald eagles.
00:44:06.940 You know, I
00:44:07.780 think you could
00:44:11.040 certainly make an
00:44:11.640 argument for that.
00:44:12.680 And even the
00:44:14.040 argument that we
00:44:15.820 give a certain
00:44:16.620 amount of extra
00:44:17.320 weight to the
00:44:18.080 bald eagle because
00:44:18.720 of its symbolic
00:44:19.380 significance, you
00:44:20.780 know, I believe in
00:44:21.460 symbolic significance.
00:44:22.420 I think that that's
00:44:22.920 an important thing,
00:44:23.720 and, you know,
00:44:24.900 cherish the
00:44:25.940 symbols of this
00:44:26.600 country.
00:44:27.860 You know, we
00:44:28.540 don't want to
00:44:28.800 take a totally
00:44:29.340 materialistic view
00:44:30.200 of these things.
00:44:31.300 We could always
00:44:31.860 say that the
00:44:32.340 American flag is
00:44:33.180 nothing but, you
00:44:34.200 know, it's
00:44:34.540 technically just a
00:44:35.200 piece of cloth,
00:44:36.020 right?
00:44:36.740 But it has
00:44:37.240 symbolic significance.
00:44:38.020 Symbolic significance
00:44:38.600 means something.
00:44:39.960 And I'm okay with
00:44:42.060 applying that to
00:44:42.660 bald eagles.
00:44:44.360 The problem is
00:44:45.640 when we imbue
00:44:48.100 them with much
00:44:49.400 greater significance,
00:44:50.820 moral and legal
00:44:51.960 significance, than
00:44:53.240 human beings.
00:44:54.120 But as you point
00:44:54.700 out, there are
00:44:55.740 even more, there
00:44:56.760 are even better
00:44:57.280 comparisons that
00:44:58.280 better illustrate the
00:44:59.500 absurdity of it,
00:45:00.360 and probably, yes,
00:45:01.360 sea turtle eggs.
00:45:02.140 Now, it's true of
00:45:02.680 bald, the egg thing
00:45:03.580 is true of bald
00:45:04.060 eagles, too.
00:45:05.740 You know, you can't
00:45:06.860 kill a bald eagle,
00:45:07.900 and if you kill,
00:45:10.280 if you were to
00:45:10.840 destroy a bald eagle
00:45:11.860 egg, you would be
00:45:13.780 prosecuted under the
00:45:16.560 assumption, right,
00:45:18.020 that destroying a
00:45:20.160 bald eagle egg is the
00:45:21.380 same thing as
00:45:22.460 destroying an actual
00:45:23.760 bald eagle that has
00:45:25.300 been hatched.
00:45:26.580 And the same goes
00:45:27.620 with sea turtle eggs.
00:45:29.380 Why can't you
00:45:30.020 destroy sea turtle
00:45:30.720 eggs?
00:45:31.040 Well, because you
00:45:31.480 can't harm sea
00:45:32.140 turtles.
00:45:33.420 What's the
00:45:34.000 connection?
00:45:34.520 Well, because the
00:45:35.540 law recognizes that
00:45:36.640 there's no
00:45:37.040 difference between
00:45:38.060 destroying a sea
00:45:39.440 turtle egg and
00:45:40.160 destroying a sea
00:45:40.700 turtle.
00:45:42.320 It would make no
00:45:43.140 sense.
00:45:43.520 It would make no
00:45:43.940 sense for someone
00:45:44.680 to plead and say,
00:45:47.260 yeah, I understand
00:45:48.100 that sea turtles are
00:45:48.700 protected, but I
00:45:49.300 didn't destroy a sea
00:45:50.040 turtle.
00:45:50.300 I just destroyed a
00:45:50.960 sea turtle egg.
00:45:51.500 That's all.
00:45:53.620 No, in that context,
00:45:54.520 we would say, well,
00:45:54.940 what do you mean?
00:45:55.560 What's the difference?
00:45:56.640 It's the same thing.
00:46:01.240 And yet, with human
00:46:02.280 beings, we do draw a
00:46:05.240 distinction.
00:46:06.300 With human beings,
00:46:07.080 legally, we say, the
00:46:09.160 federal government
00:46:09.740 says, and many states
00:46:11.300 still say, that to
00:46:13.820 destroy an unborn
00:46:14.760 human being is not
00:46:16.760 the same as
00:46:17.380 destroying a human
00:46:18.180 being.
00:46:21.400 Finally, my 12-year-old
00:46:22.420 son was suspended from
00:46:23.340 middle school for two
00:46:24.100 days for the
00:46:25.100 following joke.
00:46:27.540 Why doesn't Mexico
00:46:28.460 have an Olympic team?
00:46:29.720 Because every Mexican
00:46:30.600 who can run, jump, and
00:46:31.580 swim is already here in
00:46:32.580 America.
00:46:32.900 He was suspended for
00:46:34.560 being racist.
00:46:35.280 He's in sixth grade, and
00:46:36.160 it was hilarious.
00:46:37.620 It is a great joke.
00:46:38.640 That's an oldie but a
00:46:39.520 goodie.
00:46:39.720 That's a classic.
00:46:41.620 That's a joke that we,
00:46:43.900 I think middle schoolers
00:46:44.860 have been telling that
00:46:45.520 joke for decades.
00:46:47.760 And the only difference
00:46:48.680 is that when I was in
00:46:49.700 middle school, you know,
00:46:50.720 you could make a joke
00:46:51.520 like that.
00:46:52.920 You could make a joke
00:46:54.000 like that.
00:46:55.100 You certainly wouldn't
00:46:55.520 get suspended for it.
00:46:57.360 Maybe, maybe a teacher
00:46:59.020 would write you up or
00:46:59.800 something if there
00:47:00.300 happened to be one.
00:47:00.760 The other thing, too,
00:47:01.660 is that you could make
00:47:03.880 a joke like that
00:47:04.660 around your Mexican
00:47:05.820 friends, and they
00:47:06.880 would laugh about it.
00:47:10.480 It is actually, I,
00:47:12.040 you're laughing about
00:47:13.300 it as the parent,
00:47:15.120 which I can, I mean,
00:47:15.860 it is funny.
00:47:16.900 Like, the joke is
00:47:17.500 funny.
00:47:18.040 I can understand the
00:47:18.860 humor of it.
00:47:20.460 I'm glad that you
00:47:21.280 have a good sense of
00:47:22.460 humor about it.
00:47:23.320 I think I'm, I'm,
00:47:24.380 I'm angrier about it
00:47:25.680 than you are,
00:47:26.140 apparently, because,
00:47:26.980 yeah, that is,
00:47:29.560 that's actually
00:47:30.180 outrageous that he
00:47:30.960 was suspended for
00:47:32.000 two days for that
00:47:33.760 joke.
00:47:35.740 That is, uh,
00:47:37.600 that is just
00:47:40.140 insane.

00:48:04.380 That sounds miserable
00:48:05.080 and time-consuming.

00:48:57.720 Now let's get to our
00:48:58.380 daily cancellation.
00:49:05.640 Today for our daily
00:49:06.420 cancellation, we turn to
00:49:07.560 Drew Barrymore.
00:49:08.400 The actress-turned-talk-show
00:49:09.980 host recently had a lot of
00:49:11.220 a lot to say, a lot of
00:49:12.180 rather glowing things to
00:49:13.180 say about divorce.
00:49:14.400 Barrymore has been
00:49:15.120 divorced three times.
00:49:16.260 That is, she has failed
00:49:17.280 in marriage three times.
00:49:18.760 She has broken her vows
00:49:20.140 three times.
00:49:21.660 And now she pretends
00:49:22.780 to be very happy about
00:49:23.480 it.
00:49:23.940 She expressed that
00:49:24.840 happiness in a
00:49:25.460 conversation this week
00:49:26.120 with Marie Osmond, who
00:49:27.260 has two divorces under
00:49:28.300 her belt.
00:49:28.640 But before we get to
00:49:29.160 that conversation, you
00:49:30.380 should know that Barrymore
00:49:30.980 has been very open about
00:49:32.420 her divorce, her divorces,
00:49:34.500 for a long time.
00:49:35.260 In fact, one might say
00:49:36.660 she's been far too open
00:49:37.940 about them.
00:49:38.320 A few years ago, Barrymore
00:49:39.520 invited one of her ex-husbands,
00:49:41.340 Tom Green, onto her show
00:49:43.540 where they proceeded to have
00:49:44.440 an unbearably awkward
00:49:45.740 conversation on television
00:49:46.960 in front of a live studio
00:49:47.800 audience for reasons that
00:49:49.520 are not quite clear.
00:49:51.920 Watch.
00:49:53.180 I've had two nights of
00:49:54.700 great sleep in my life
00:49:56.080 before my daughters were
00:49:58.000 born.
00:49:59.180 And I don't know why,
00:50:00.120 but sleep is like, it's
00:50:01.280 just been like a weird
00:50:02.100 thing for me.
00:50:03.320 And I remember this night
00:50:05.440 just being so content.
00:50:06.940 And I was at your
00:50:07.760 parents' lake house, and I
00:50:10.360 remember hearing all their
00:50:11.300 voices upstairs, and I was
00:50:12.920 just by myself, and I was
00:50:14.260 going to sleep, and I was
00:50:15.100 like, yeah, this is what,
00:50:16.220 you know, safety and
00:50:17.920 contentedness feels before
00:50:19.420 you're going to sleep.
00:50:20.240 And I will never forget
00:50:21.400 that night.
00:50:22.240 And I love your parents, and
00:50:23.940 I really love you, and I
00:50:25.180 celebrate you.
00:50:26.040 And, you know, when you say
00:50:27.480 like 20 years, sometimes it's
00:50:29.940 the blink of an eye.
00:50:31.460 And sometimes you're like,
00:50:32.980 oh my God, we've lived so
00:50:34.520 much in these last 20 years.
00:50:36.660 You've had a whole life, and
00:50:38.480 I've had a whole life, and
00:50:40.440 it's just really nice to come
00:50:42.440 together and check in and
00:50:43.820 talk about it.
00:50:44.700 It just, it thrills me to no
00:50:46.660 end.
00:50:47.040 And I think the world of you,
00:50:48.440 and I celebrate you, and I
00:50:49.940 always have, and I always
00:50:51.040 will.
00:50:52.440 Thank you, Drew.
00:50:53.280 Thank you.
00:50:54.320 This is really, I was so
00:50:57.080 happy when you invited me on
00:50:58.040 the show.
00:50:58.380 It's been too long.
00:50:59.560 We should have, you know,
00:51:00.860 it's nice to reconnect.
00:51:02.480 We really did not talk for
00:51:04.180 about 15 years, I guess.
00:51:05.960 And this is really the first
00:51:07.600 time we've looked at each
00:51:09.420 other face-to-face in 15
00:51:10.760 years.
00:51:13.100 I don't know, how do
00:51:13.900 people watch this show?
00:51:15.320 I mean, what, just to start
00:51:17.820 with, sleep, sleep is, I
00:51:20.660 have a weird thing about
00:51:21.640 sleep.
00:51:22.200 Like, what, your weird thing
00:51:23.320 is that you like, you like
00:51:24.660 to sleep?
00:51:25.240 That's not weird.
00:51:26.040 We all, as human beings, we
00:51:27.660 all enjoy sleeping.
00:51:28.560 We need to sleep, all of us.
00:51:29.620 So there's not, it's not
00:51:31.100 like a unique, quirky thing
00:51:32.580 about you, Drew Barrymore, is
00:51:34.240 that you enjoy sleeping.
00:51:36.480 But a few other takeaways here.
00:51:37.720 First of all, she divorced the
00:51:39.120 guy, didn't speak to him at
00:51:40.100 all for 15 years, apparently,
00:51:41.400 then invited him onto her
00:51:43.120 talk show to have an
00:51:45.120 emotional heart-to-heart in
00:51:46.220 front of a television
00:51:46.900 audience, which is bizarre
00:51:49.080 behavior, to say the least.
00:51:50.320 Second, she recounts a story
00:51:51.360 of feeling safe and content
00:51:52.700 when she was married to Tom
00:51:54.600 Green, and yet she divorced
00:51:56.820 him mere months after this
00:51:58.540 cherished memory took place.
00:52:00.840 Her marriage to Tom Green
00:52:01.740 lasted from 2001 all the way
00:52:03.480 to the year 2002.
00:52:05.280 And she continues in that
00:52:06.340 conversation to profess her
00:52:07.800 love and admiration for the
00:52:09.040 man and claims that she's
00:52:10.500 always loved and celebrated
00:52:12.020 and admired him, the man that
00:52:13.480 she divorced after 12 months
00:52:15.120 and proceeded to cut out of
00:52:16.920 her life completely for the
00:52:18.200 next two decades.
00:52:20.420 If that's how she treats
00:52:21.800 people that she loves and
00:52:22.960 admires, one would hate to
00:52:24.660 imagine how she treats
00:52:25.340 people that she actually
00:52:26.300 doesn't like.
00:52:27.260 That brings us to the
00:52:29.500 conversation this week in
00:52:30.620 which Drew Barrymore declares
00:52:32.480 that after three failed
00:52:33.500 marriages, she is like totally
00:52:35.920 liberated.
00:52:37.080 Here's the Daily Wire.
00:52:38.340 Quote, actress Drew Barrymore
00:52:39.520 said she's not embarrassed
00:52:40.580 about being divorced three
00:52:41.560 times.
00:52:41.940 Instead, she feels liberated.
00:52:43.800 Quote, I had so much shame
00:52:45.720 around divorce and for some
00:52:46.880 reason something happened and
00:52:47.900 I said, I'm no longer willing
00:52:49.520 to feel this way and it just
00:52:50.780 lifted for me.
00:52:52.600 Barrymore said of her own
00:52:53.620 experience, she went on to
00:52:54.940 describe how she sees divorce
00:52:56.400 as preserving, quote, the
00:52:57.440 precious commodity we have on
00:52:59.240 this planet, which is our only
00:53:00.540 our time.
00:53:02.060 And when you're truly in a
00:53:02.860 situation that isn't
00:53:03.700 functioning the way that
00:53:05.060 optimally it hopes and wishes
00:53:06.960 to be, we accept that and we
00:53:08.960 improve our quality of life by
00:53:10.880 moving forward.
00:53:12.320 Divorce now, to me, I don't
00:53:13.680 have shame around it.
00:53:15.000 I'm like totally liberated.
00:53:17.240 Barrymore added.
00:53:18.440 Now, Marie Osmond unsurprisingly
00:53:20.000 agreed, quote, talk show guest and
00:53:22.500 famed singer Marie Osmond agreed
00:53:23.900 that divorce could be positive.
00:53:25.380 She said that while she thinks
00:53:26.900 married couples should be doing
00:53:28.180 everything possible to make a
00:53:29.120 marriage work, she also stressed
00:53:30.660 that both parties should do the
00:53:32.340 work.
00:53:33.220 Quote, I also believe that there
00:53:34.280 are some divorces made in
00:53:35.500 heaven.
00:53:36.220 My situation, I divorced at 50
00:53:37.800 and I had eight children that I
00:53:39.340 needed to support, take care of.
00:53:41.080 I was basically the breadwinner.
00:53:43.360 Now, you know, it never ceases to
00:53:44.680 amaze me that people can live for
00:53:47.760 so many years and in Barrymore's
00:53:49.280 case, five decades, and yet learn
00:53:52.060 absolutely nothing.
00:53:54.440 Gain no wisdom at all.
00:53:57.160 Because wisdom, as we can see, is
00:53:58.800 not automatically accrued with age.
00:54:00.980 It is offered.
00:54:02.520 Opportunities are presented to
00:54:04.560 obtain it, but you have to
00:54:06.060 actively participate in the
00:54:07.380 process of obtaining that
00:54:08.640 wisdom.
00:54:09.200 If you don't, then you run the
00:54:10.380 risk of becoming like Drew
00:54:11.360 Barrymore, pushing 50, but with
00:54:12.880 all the insight of a 19-year-old
00:54:14.380 sorority girl.
00:54:16.140 And there are many ways to fail at
00:54:17.640 life, you know, many ways to fail
00:54:19.680 at life, but one of them, maybe the
00:54:21.660 biggest one, is to fail to gain
00:54:24.280 wisdom.
00:54:24.600 A person who gets older but not
00:54:26.880 wiser has failed in the most
00:54:28.580 fundamental way that a person can
00:54:30.400 fail.
00:54:31.520 In fact, you know, I don't presume to
00:54:33.220 know or to predict what will happen
00:54:36.200 when we stand before the throne of
00:54:37.900 judgment at the end of it all, but I
00:54:40.160 do know that this is one question God
00:54:41.940 could ask that would reveal
00:54:43.840 everything.
00:54:45.200 You know, you could say, it's a
00:54:46.580 simple question.
00:54:47.780 Tell me what you've learned.
00:54:49.540 And if the answer is, well, like, I
00:54:51.940 guess I totally just learned that,
00:54:53.580 you know, like, you got to do what
00:54:55.640 makes you happy.
00:54:57.020 Then the lever is pulled, the trap
00:54:58.460 door opens up, and enjoy your trip
00:55:00.580 down south.
00:55:01.420 That's how it could work, anyway.
00:55:03.460 The interesting thing to note here,
00:55:05.080 though, is that people who make a
00:55:07.160 point of claiming that they aren't
00:55:09.120 ashamed of a certain thing will
00:55:11.400 almost always go on to talk about
00:55:13.040 that thing in a way that reveals that
00:55:15.340 they are, in fact, deeply ashamed of
00:55:17.360 it.
00:55:18.160 I mean, there is nobody more ashamed of
00:55:19.980 divorce than the person who goes
00:55:21.140 around blowing a trumpet and
00:55:22.780 declaring that they're not ashamed
00:55:24.280 of divorce.
00:55:25.600 That's why she talks about divorce in
00:55:26.780 such a roundabout, euphemism-laden
00:55:28.700 way, in a very sanitized way.
00:55:31.940 She says that when you're truly in a
00:55:33.940 situation that isn't functioning the
00:55:36.340 way that optimally it hopes and wishes
00:55:38.680 to be, we accept that and we improve
00:55:41.700 our quality of life by moving forward.
00:55:44.680 I mean, that means basically nothing.
00:55:46.820 To the extent that it means anything at
00:55:48.520 all, it sounds like she's talking about
00:55:50.420 her decision to, say, cancel her gym
00:55:52.680 membership or delete her Uber Eats app
00:55:55.680 and use DoorDash instead.
00:55:58.060 I mean, you cannot claim that you have
00:56:00.200 no shame about something when you can't
00:56:02.400 bring yourself to talk about it in an
00:56:04.520 honest way.
00:56:06.200 If you feel the need to lie to yourself
00:56:08.160 about something that you've done,
00:56:10.160 then you obviously are ashamed of it.
00:56:12.860 And the biggest lie that Drew Barrymore
00:56:14.200 tells, and that many divorced people tell,
00:56:16.300 is that the divorce was something that
00:56:18.500 just happened.
00:56:19.960 They didn't choose it.
00:56:21.400 They didn't walk into it knowingly,
00:56:23.080 willingly, with their eyes opened.
00:56:25.260 They say instead that the situation
00:56:27.240 wasn't functioning optimally, like
00:56:29.160 they're describing a malfunctioning
00:56:30.680 smartphone.
00:56:31.960 The only real role that they had to
00:56:34.020 play in the collapse of their own
00:56:35.440 marriage was just to accept it.
00:56:37.980 You know, accept that it was happening
00:56:39.200 and there was nothing they could do to
00:56:40.500 prevent it.
00:56:41.880 But this is, again, a lie.
00:56:43.300 And it's a lie that should be, in some
00:56:45.260 sense, actually comforting to those
00:56:47.980 unmarried younger people who are afraid
00:56:49.960 of marriage because of the Drew
00:56:51.200 Barrymores of the world.
00:56:52.940 You know, the good news for you is that,
00:56:55.220 well, for one thing, you're not going to
00:56:57.420 accidentally end up with a self-centered
00:56:59.180 bimbo like Drew Barrymore.
00:57:01.120 You might end up with one like that, but
00:57:03.460 only if you do it on purpose.
00:57:05.460 The Drew Barrymores of the world cannot
00:57:06.920 possibly present themselves as serious,
00:57:09.580 trustworthy people for long enough to
00:57:12.200 fool any man with more than two brain
00:57:14.400 cells.
00:57:15.920 But the other piece of good news is that
00:57:17.440 despite the rationalizations some
00:57:19.760 particularly dishonest divorce people
00:57:21.320 make, the reality is that divorce is
00:57:24.360 actively chosen.
00:57:25.500 It is something that some couples work
00:57:27.940 towards.
00:57:29.180 Maybe not with divorce consciously in
00:57:30.780 mind as the end goal, but they're
00:57:32.720 working towards it all the same.
00:57:34.880 It doesn't just happen.
00:57:36.120 You don't fall into it one day like
00:57:37.740 falling into a puddle.
00:57:39.580 It doesn't arise passively out of
00:57:41.560 situations.
00:57:43.120 It is a conscious choice.
00:57:46.180 And usually, not always, but usually
00:57:49.380 one that both parties have a hand in
00:57:51.720 making.
00:57:53.000 Which means that staying married, being
00:57:55.900 happy is also a choice.
00:57:58.440 You just have to make it.
00:58:00.120 You make it today, and then you make it
00:58:01.580 tomorrow, and you make it the next day,
00:58:03.440 until death do you part.
00:58:04.620 It's pretty simple.
00:58:05.900 Maybe not always easy, but it is simple
00:58:08.460 anyway.
00:58:10.260 And that's how you avoid ending up like
00:58:11.760 Drew Barrymore, who is today
00:58:13.620 canceled.
00:58:15.220 That'll do it for the show today, and
00:58:16.520 this week, talk to you on Monday.
00:58:18.420 Have a great day.
00:58:19.560 Godspeed.
00:58:19.880 Feel anything.
00:58:20.920 Get me here.
00:58:23.800 Take care.
00:58:24.700 Bye-bye.
00:58:26.480 Bye-bye.
