The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1369 - The School System Is Plagued By Violence And Chaos -- And They're Cooking The Stats To Keep It A Secret

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, schools have become far more violent, unruly, and chaotic over the past decade, but the system has found ways to cook the stats and hide how bad it's actually gotten.

00:00:08.880 We will expose that plot today. Also, Biden and Trump will debate, except they have all kinds of rules put in place to protect our senile president from embarrassing himself.

00:00:17.280 And a video goes viral of a woman bragging about all the household chores she refuses to do. Many women are unfortunately cheering her on.

00:00:24.040 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.

00:00:59.980 As it did in 2008, during times of economic uncertainty and market volatility, investors tend to flock to gold as a safe haven asset.

00:01:07.300 Its value tends to increase during turbulent times, providing a buffer against market downturns.

00:01:11.940 This is why people are flocking to gold now and why Birch Gold is busier than ever.

00:01:16.960 Birch Gold understands that navigating financial decisions can be daunting.

00:01:20.240 That's why their dedicated in-house IRA department is there to guide you every step of the way.

00:01:37.760 Text Walsh to 989898 to talk to one of Birch Gold's experts and claim your free info kit on gold.

00:01:43.220 You'll learn how to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.

00:01:48.960 The best part is, it doesn't cost you a penny out of pocket.

00:01:51.260 Just text Walsh to 989898.

00:01:53.300 That's Walsh to 989898.

00:01:55.060 There's an inconvenient paradox that at one point or another, every social justice scholar has to wrestle with, and that paradox is this.

00:02:02.920 Even as the entire country forcibly implements every single one of their wishlist items, no matter how extreme or untethered from reality they may be, the result is that people's lives get objectively worse.

00:02:13.700 And I'm not just talking about a little worse.

00:02:16.160 Pretty much everyone's life measurably gets a lot worse.

00:02:19.220 If you have a child in public school system, you know that students have suffered in particular from this situation, but you may not realize how stark the decline has been because no one's really reported on these specific numbers.

00:02:32.560 So a couple of years ago, the Department of Education took a look at serious incidents occurring in public schools in the years 2009 through 2010, the 2009-2010 school year.

00:02:42.180 They then compared that data with the number of serious incidents that occurred a decade later in the 2019-2020 school year, which is mostly pre-pandemic.

00:02:52.120 And this is what's known in the statistics biz as a longitudinal analysis.

00:02:57.120 And if there's one thing leftists hate, it's longitudinal analysis.

00:03:00.620 Because you're not supposed to think about the past, because if you do that, you might realize that it was a lot better than the current progressive experiment that we're all living through.

00:03:11.140 And as the Department of Education found, that's especially true in schools.

00:03:15.440 Because the percentage of public schools reporting widespread disorder in the classroom, at least once per week, increased by more than 60% from 2009 to 2019.

00:03:25.880 So I'll say that again.

00:03:26.660 Rates of widespread disorder in the classroom jumped by more than 60% in just a decade.

00:03:31.980 Meanwhile, the percentage of public schools reporting students' verbal abuse of teachers, at least once per week, as well as cyberbullying, increased by more than 100%.

00:03:41.880 Racial and ethnic tensions among students increased by more than 30%.

00:03:45.920 How could that be?

00:03:47.920 I mean, this was the era of Barack Obama and teachable moments.

00:03:51.980 This was the era that we learned that gender is a supposedly social construct. 0.99

00:03:56.080 This was the era that pride parades became mandatory in every major city in the country.

00:03:59.860 It was also, you might remember, the era that every newspaper and media outlet in the country began harping about police brutality.

00:04:06.520 This was the decade of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner and Tamir Rice and Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and so on.

00:04:15.420 BLM and racial tolerance were all on the upswing during this decade.

00:04:20.140 Could all of this left-wing social engineering have backfired?

00:04:23.800 Could it be the reason that schools were now far more chaotic and dangerous than ever?

00:04:27.900 Confronted with this problem, school administrators had two choices.

00:04:32.540 They could have admitted that the progressive experiment was failing and started disciplining students and restoring order without regard to skin color or ethnicity or anything like that.

00:04:42.680 Or they could come up with a way to cook the statistics.

00:04:46.100 In the end, of course, they decided on the latter option.

00:04:48.640 And the hysteria of the so-called racial reckoning post-George Floyd gave them their opening.

00:04:54.840 As the BLM moral panic overtook the world back in 2020, the idea of, quote-unquote, restorative practices or restorative justice took hold in schools all over the country.

00:05:05.200 A new report from the parental rights group Parents Defending Education found that more than 18,000 schools across more than 500 school districts now have these, quote-unquote, restorative policies in place.

00:05:17.240 It's ubiquitous. It's every word.

00:05:19.920 In late 2020, school officials trumpeted this approach as a major breakthrough.

00:05:24.520 For example, here's how the Coachella Valley Unified School District in California framed the arrival of restorative justice.

00:05:31.840 Watch.

00:05:32.000 The Coachella Valley Unified School District is turning to restorative justice programs, a different approach when it comes to disciplinary policies for students.

00:05:42.520 Schools have reported significant improvements in suspension rates and the school climates.

00:05:47.900 News Channel 3's Madison Weil has more on that program and why administrators say it's working. 0.77

00:05:52.320 For decades, East Valley communities have experienced higher rates of poverty and lower rates of high school graduation.

00:06:00.760 A new case study takes a look at why this is and offers up a simple solution, restorative justice programs in the classroom.

00:06:08.600 A restorative justice in schools is really about a culture shift away from zero tolerance.

00:06:13.860 The program, led by a group called Alianza Coachella Valley, they explain that restorative justice programs change the way students are disciplined in school.

00:06:23.320 Instead of automatically disciplining a student, teachers are trained to open up a conversation first, trying to instead communicate and identify the underlying challenges a student might be facing at home.

00:06:35.420 We no longer send kids to detention. We don't use the D word any longer.

00:06:39.780 Instead of a suspension, there's a conversation.

00:06:42.500 We train the teachers their understanding now to question the child.

00:06:45.980 The new case study found that schools using restorative justice experienced reduced suspension rates, improved class participation, and better relationships between students, parents, and district staff.

00:06:58.680 So, in the name of restorative justice, they stopped detentions and suspensions in this school district, which covers more than a dozen schools across 1,200 square miles.

00:07:08.720 And what do you know? The number of suspensions went down.

00:07:11.380 They stopped suspending people, and therefore, there were fewer suspensions.

00:07:15.980 We're meant to believe this is a sign that the new approach is working.

00:07:19.340 But, of course, it's not a sign that it's working. It's the opposite.

00:07:21.640 It's the same reason the number of traffic citations in San Francisco has just gone to zero.

00:07:27.720 And it's not because there's some sort of miraculous occurrence and everyone in San Francisco drives perfectly now.

00:07:32.680 It's because the police stopped enforcing traffic laws and shoplifting laws and public urination laws and every other law.

00:07:39.340 Now, as for the other claims about restorative justice, how it's promoted better relationships in the school and so on,

00:07:46.260 well, that's not remotely accurate either, obviously.

00:07:48.480 And we know that because a little over a year after the report I just showed you,

00:07:52.700 the reality of the situation became impossible to ignore.

00:07:55.400 Armed with restorative justice, schools in Coachella Valley became much more violent.

00:08:00.520 Watch.

00:08:01.480 This school year has been a difficult one already on some local campuses.

00:08:05.560 We've reported on the alarming fights breaking out at Desert Hot Springs High School during the first semester.

00:08:10.960 Now we're looking into the fights at Coachella Valley High School and what teachers say are systemic issues within CVUSD.

00:08:18.480 As Morning Anchor Angela Chin reports, at the heart of this is a concerning lack of response from the school board and the superintendent.

00:08:25.520 A warning on this.

00:08:26.480 We are showing videos of school fights and some viewers may be disturbed by the violence.

00:08:31.220 A barrage of blows down to the bone.

00:08:43.620 Reports of broken noses, kids being carried off by ambulance.

00:08:47.820 These students pummel each other, pulled away only when the security guards dragged them off.

00:08:53.320 These brutal fights exploded across Coachella Valley High School at the beginning of this year, according to teachers we spoke with.

00:09:04.580 Staff here, burnt out just months in, spoke to us.

00:09:08.220 They did not want to show their faces for fear of retaliation, saying they felt abandoned by administration.

00:09:14.200 This is why you have to be very careful whenever anyone cites statistics about crime or violence or any other kind of dysfunction, because they'll say that it's going down and everything is getting better.

00:09:25.980 Meanwhile, you can go outside and talk to anyone and they'll tell you the opposite.

00:09:29.600 That's not what they're observing in their everyday life.

00:09:31.540 And that's because the statistics are extremely easy to manipulate.

00:09:35.460 Stop enforcing the rules and the statistics will show that there are fewer rule breakers.

00:09:39.480 Eventually, this news report gets around to acknowledging that they make the observation that the number of suspensions has been plummeting, even as the fights are obviously becoming more common.

00:09:49.580 And then they connect the dots with restorative justice.

00:09:52.380 Watch.

00:09:54.220 CVUSD has long had a higher incidence of school violence resulting in injury than the other two districts in the Valley.

00:10:01.020 And it's the only Valley district that doesn't have police officers assigned to its campuses getting rid of them back in 2018.

00:10:08.360 Still for the violence reported during the first three months of this school year at CV High School, the number of suspended kids due to violence this year is the lowest at CVUSD compared to Desert Sands and Palm Springs Unified.

00:10:21.520 Some teachers accused CVUSD of trying to make itself look better on paper by keeping suspension rates down.

00:10:29.940 It could explain why school violence with injury is its highest suspension category compared to Desert Sands and Palm Springs, which both have fights without injury as their highest.

00:10:40.500 Either CVUSD has very few fights without injuries or CVUSD chooses to suspend only in the most serious of cases.

00:10:48.940 Another reason for recent low suspension rates, in late 2020, CVUSD took on the restorative justice approach, meaning instead of using punitive discipline on kids who break the rules, they use counseling guidance and mediation in response.

00:11:03.800 The district has said this approach is working, especially at the middle school level.

00:11:08.100 So this kind of slow-burning realization has played out all over the country in just the past few years.

00:11:13.300 For example, around last Thanksgiving, a school in Memphis, Trezavant High, promoted its own restorative practices.

00:11:19.820 They're a little more vague than the Coachella School District, and they don't use the term restorative justice.

00:11:25.140 But according to Parents Defending Education, in most cases, the two terms are basically interchangeable.

00:11:30.080 And here's what it means at Trezavant High.

00:11:32.660 Hi, everybody, it's Teacher Teacher here.

00:11:36.460 Memphis Shelby County Schools is trending up.

00:11:38.820 The Student Equity Enrollment and Discipline Department and WKNO would like to spotlight an exceptional school today.

00:11:46.000 Trezavant High School, led by Principal Brent.

00:11:49.480 Principal Brent, your school has done a dynamic job of using restorative practices like being kind to each other and being responsible.

00:11:56.940 Can you tell me what makes your school so great?

00:11:59.420 First of all, we keep our ears open, our eyes, snap, for we can be able to foster an environment for a learner that can be conducive to all our scholars.

00:12:07.760 We make sure that our scholars take their high-quality education courses and make sure they also have the opportunity to go to the technical path and be able to exemplify what a true scholar is.

00:12:16.920 So, yes, restorative practices mean being kind to each other and being responsible.

00:12:21.540 Before we had the social justice terminology of restorative practices, no one ever knew how to be kind or responsible.

00:12:27.560 That's the implication. This is a revolutionary concept.

00:12:29.860 Who needs religion or morality when you have social justice leftism, I guess?

00:12:34.280 Well, not to spoil anything, but it turns out that we still need religion and morality because restorative practices have been a disaster at this school.

00:12:42.300 In just the past month, a student and a teacher got into a fight on camera, and a student allegedly popped off some shots on school grounds as well.

00:12:50.180 A video that many of you guys have seen on social media of a student and a teacher fighting happened here at Tresvent High School.

00:12:59.980 I spoke to someone who was inside during the fight, and they tell me they believe the teacher is in the wrong.

00:13:07.100 He pushed him, and he wasn't supposed to get that aggressive with the student.

00:13:10.100 This student does not feel comfortable identifying himself because he is currently suspended from Tresvent High School for being in the fight.

00:13:16.620 He'd happened on Tuesday afternoon in the cafeteria.

00:13:19.360 You can see here the student face-to-face with the teacher wearing a purple shirt.

00:13:23.320 That's when the teacher pushes the student back.

00:13:25.620 The student follows with punches.

00:13:27.480 If the teacher put hands on him first, then of course the student is going to react.

00:13:34.480 Ain't no student going to let anybody put their hands on them, whether they're an adult or another child.

00:13:39.600 Ladera Young believes this teacher should face discipline, but another parent disagrees, saying the teacher had no choice but to defend himself.

00:13:47.220 He allowed that to play off.

00:13:49.440 The other students in the classroom would figure out that they can do the same.

00:13:54.960 And the students trigger the fight off if you look at the video.

00:13:58.220 Also tonight, a mother and son are charged after the son fired shots on the grounds of Tresvent High School.

00:14:03.680 On March 22nd, officers responded to a shooting call in the high school after a student fired a shot at two victims.

00:14:10.820 Police say he had gotten into a fight at school earlier that same day.

00:14:14.460 His mother, Deborah Rawls, took him out of school, but the son came back to school and waited for the two victims to be dismissed before he shot at them.

00:14:22.340 After this, the mother was seen leaving their car and running toward her son, but they were then picked up by a car and drove away.

00:14:28.960 She never contacted MPD about what happened.

00:14:31.660 So anyone looking at the school knows that restorative practices aren't the solution to this chaos.

00:14:38.180 Being kind isn't working out.

00:14:40.020 These students and the parents and teachers, apparently, don't need to be told how wonderful they are.

00:14:45.620 They're completely out of control.

00:14:47.160 So are the students in the majority black Hazelwood School District in Missouri.

00:14:51.380 During the BLM insanity, Hazelwood put out a statement vowing to promote restorative justice practices across our organization,

00:14:57.940 but in particular to reduce disparities around student discipline.

00:15:02.240 So they're all in on the whole ideology and restorative justice and everything else.

00:15:05.960 How's that working out?

00:15:07.340 What's what's happened after years of efforts to reduce disparities and restore justice?

00:15:12.300 Whatever that is supposed to mean exactly.

00:15:14.320 Well, this was the scene a couple of blocks away from school back in March.

00:15:18.160 Watch.

00:15:18.360 Look, look, look, look.

00:15:22.600 Okay, get her in, Edward.

00:15:23.780 Get her in, Edward.

00:15:31.720 Get her in. 0.96

00:15:35.780 So that's a video you've probably seen.

00:15:51.040 And the white girl who was beaten suffered brain bleeding and a skull fracture.

00:15:54.720 She spent a month in the hospital, followed by rehab.

00:15:58.000 In response to this footage, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said that he wanted the attacker to be charged as an adult.

00:16:03.960 He didn't want restorative justice. He wanted actual justice.

00:16:08.180 He also said he was investigating possible violations of human rights laws.

00:16:11.720 He wrote, quote, I'm launching an investigation at the Hazelwood School District after a student was senselessly assaulted by another student in broad daylight.

00:16:18.700 The entire community deserves answers on how Hazelwood's radical DEI programs resulted in such despicable safety failures that resulted in a student fighting for her life.

00:16:28.020 Several of those DEI policies were unearthed by libs of TikTok on her Twitter feed, which you can go see.

00:16:34.000 Bailey also wrote that, quote, the absence of SRO, school resource officers, on the scene is directly attributable to Hazelwood's insistence on prioritizing race-based policies over basic student safety.

00:16:45.080 So what did the Hazelwood School District do in response?

00:16:49.080 You already know the answer to that question.

00:16:50.980 They accused the Attorney General, of course, of racism.

00:16:53.800 The school district's lawyer said that Bailey has, quote, obvious racial bias against majority-minority school districts.

00:17:00.720 The lawyer also claimed that the school resource officers, quote, would not have prevented a fight from occurring off school property and outside of school the school day.

00:17:08.740 And then they filed an ethics complaint against the Attorney General.

00:17:11.720 So basically, they're absolving themselves completely.

00:17:15.240 They have shown no signs whatsoever that they intend to revisit their commitment to restorative justice.

00:17:20.800 Of course, what's happening in Missouri and across the country is a multifaceted problem.

00:17:25.780 Restorative justice isn't helping, but it's obviously not the sole cause of all this chaos in schools.

00:17:31.060 It starts with terrible parenting, which is maybe the single greatest predictor of dysfunction that exists in the world.

00:17:37.520 What restorative justice does is validate and absolve this dysfunction and promote it, encourage it, facilitate it.

00:17:45.980 Instead of making any real effort to correct it, the point is to enable it while also hiding it from public view as much as possible.

00:17:54.040 We see the same approach to restorative justice in the criminal justice system, where the stakes are higher and the results predictably are even worse.

00:18:00.220 In the nation's capital, restorative justice means that you can fire 26 rounds from an AR-15 at a moving vehicle on camera, on multiple cameras, and get out of jail immediately.

00:18:11.680 It means you can commit arson and attack police officers with impunity.

00:18:16.240 Where well-adjusted people see an obvious problem here, the promoters of restorative justice see a success story.

00:18:24.060 The beatings will continue until the restorative justice improves.

00:18:29.000 That's their approach.

00:18:30.760 And in school districts all over the country, children are now living with the consequences.

00:18:36.800 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:59.140 Okay, so yesterday morning, Joe Biden issued a debate challenge, a bold debate challenge to Donald Trump.

00:21:07.180 Let's watch that.

00:21:09.080 Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020.

00:21:11.700 And since then, he hadn't shown up for debate.

00:21:13.480 Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again.

00:21:15.860 Well, make my day, pal.

00:21:17.480 I'll even do it twice.

00:21:19.180 So let's pick the dates, Donald.

00:21:20.940 I hear you're free on Wednesdays.

00:21:23.480 Make my day, Donald.

00:21:24.860 So if you're keeping track at home, that was five cuts.

00:21:28.680 Five cuts in a 14-second video.

00:21:31.560 And just to do the math on that, that's like one cut every three seconds thereabouts.

00:21:38.180 So Joe Biden could not make it more than three seconds without having to cut.

00:21:43.440 And yeah, I know they try to dress it up, you know, with the music in the background.

00:21:47.240 They try to dress it up like it was an intentional stylistic choice, you know, because all the kids are making videos like this these days.

00:21:53.720 But we know better.

00:21:56.240 We know that they did that, you know, those lines he had to probably redo seven or eight times each.

00:22:03.240 And so, but he put that out.

00:22:04.380 And anyway, shortly after the video, it was announced that there would be two debates with the first one at the end of June, June 27th, I think, on CNN.

00:22:13.060 And you see the timing there.

00:22:15.100 So Biden issues this bold challenge.

00:22:18.440 And then like an hour later, we find out that there's going to be a debate anyway.

00:22:22.220 There's going to be two debates.

00:22:22.900 So what that means, obviously, is that the debate, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see here.

00:22:28.000 The debate had already been agreed to.

00:22:30.800 Trump and Biden had already agreed to this debate behind the scenes. 0.99

00:22:33.460 And then Biden goes on camera and says, hey, why don't you come debate me, you coward? 0.93

00:22:39.080 To challenge him, the thing they already set up. 0.54

00:22:41.560 So that's not only a lame PR move, but it also shows the level of coordination between the media and the Biden campaign.

00:22:49.700 So no big surprise there.

00:22:52.000 The same media that is coordinating this PR stunt for Biden is also going to be, they're going to be the ones that are moderating this debate.

00:22:59.920 And there are some ground rules to these debates.

00:23:03.380 The communications director for the Biden campaign was on CNN later that day to talk about the rules and what their demands are.

00:23:10.600 And they have many demands, actually.

00:23:13.660 Let's watch.

00:23:15.640 So you say no live audience.

00:23:18.640 You want it in a television studio without an audience.

00:23:21.020 Does that mean if the Trump campaign insists on an audience, no deal?

00:23:27.540 Listen, I think the Trump campaign made their proposal very clear when Donald Trump said he'd be willing to debate anytime, anywhere, anyplace.

00:23:34.280 And so what we want and what we have laid out is that we want to do this sooner rather than later.

00:23:38.960 We should do it in June after his criminal trial is likely to have concluded.

00:23:42.040 And after the president returns from the G7 summit, it should be, yes, in studio with no audience so that the candidates can clearly articulate their vision for the country.

00:23:51.640 Is an audience a deal breaker for you?

00:23:58.380 Listen, it's Donald Trump who said he would do this anytime, anywhere, anyplace.

00:24:02.500 So I don't think that they should have any problems with what we have proposed.

00:24:06.300 He's the one who said he's ready to go.

00:24:08.160 So we should be set to go once we have proposals in from networks.

00:24:12.160 We're excited to debate.

00:24:13.340 The question is, will Donald Trump accept it?

00:24:16.540 I just issued a proposal right here.

00:24:17.920 We'll do it right here on CNN News Central.

00:24:19.380 Happy to oblige.

00:24:21.700 No third-party candidate.

00:24:24.440 What if RFK is at 15 percent, Robert Kennedy Jr. at 15 percent in September?

00:24:28.680 You still don't think he should be on the stage?

00:24:31.860 Now, listen, the reality here is that there are two candidates with a pathway to 270 electoral votes.

00:24:37.040 That's President Joe Biden and that's Donald Trump.

00:24:39.480 And the American people deserve to hear from them because that is the reality that we're facing.

00:24:43.760 That is the choice in this election.

00:24:45.380 So we should have a debate between the two candidates on the issues.

00:24:48.980 Joe Biden will articulate his historic record of accomplishment, his vision for the future.

00:24:53.360 And Donald Trump will go out here and try to explain why he's bragging about overturning Roe v.

00:24:57.760 Wade, why he's trying to rebuild an economy that only works for rich people like himself, why he's trying to rule as a dictator on day one.

00:25:03.980 That's the debate that the American people deserve to see in prime time.

00:25:07.580 And that's what we're proposing.

00:25:08.400 OK, so no audience, no RFK Jr.

00:25:11.940 Also, they want strict time limits and they want the mics to be cut off once a candidate's time limit is up.

00:25:17.500 And to me, that rule is the real problem.

00:25:19.220 The live audience doesn't really matter.

00:25:21.240 You know, I actually agree with that.

00:25:22.900 I prefer when there's no audience.

00:25:25.760 Now.

00:25:25.860 Now, I know why the Biden campaign wants an empty room. 0.67

00:25:30.280 It's not for the same reasons that I do as a viewer.

00:25:32.960 They want it because they don't want to risk Biden getting booed.

00:25:36.660 They also don't want anything distracting Biden.

00:25:41.440 Who, you know, they're already going to have to have him hopped up on who knows what in order to get through this thing.

00:25:46.920 And so they don't want anything to distract.

00:25:49.800 They just want to keep things like as toned down as possible so they can get grandpa through this thing and then get him up to his to his very late bedtime.

00:26:00.200 But.

00:26:01.840 I think audiences do detract from the debate.

00:26:04.480 I don't when I watch a debate, I don't want to hear the train seals in the audience clapping.

00:26:09.260 I just don't.

00:26:09.760 It's a waste of time.

00:26:10.780 I don't I don't care.

00:26:12.260 It's like we're watching to hear what these people have to say because they want to run the country.

00:26:15.380 I don't care about the audience's feeling about it.

00:26:18.080 It's irrelevant.

00:26:19.740 So it's all just sort of a waste of time.

00:26:22.680 So as far as I'm concerned, that's fine.

00:26:24.760 Not having RFK Jr.

00:26:26.140 I can see the argument for that.

00:26:27.300 He's not going to win.

00:26:28.200 He's not even on the ballot in most states.

00:26:31.540 You know, we should hear from the candidates who actually have a chance to win.

00:26:34.700 So I can see the argument there.

00:26:36.060 But the Mike thing is the real problem to me.

00:26:39.200 And this is not how actual debates work between human beings in real life.

00:26:46.080 It's just this is not a debate.

00:26:47.680 It's not.

00:26:48.200 OK, I'm going to talk for a minute and then you go for a minute and then I'll go for 30 seconds and you'll go for 30 seconds.

00:26:53.720 And once you get to if you have 60 seconds, once you get to 61 seconds, it stops right there.

00:26:59.520 You can't even you can't even finish your thought.

00:27:03.100 That's not a debate.

00:27:03.900 That's just a that's a talking points contest.

00:27:07.140 I get my talking points.

00:27:08.620 You give your talking points and then I get mine and then you give yours.

00:27:11.920 A debate should be a debate.

00:27:14.640 As I've always argued for, just let them stand in the room with each other and debate.

00:27:19.620 Let let them let them stand there and talk to each other.

00:27:23.140 The only thing the moderator needs to do is say, all right, here's the topic.

00:27:28.700 You've got 30 minutes.

00:27:31.120 Go ahead.

00:27:31.700 And maybe deciding who gets to start the conversation and then that will change.

00:27:37.320 So this is the first topic.

00:27:40.040 Trump goes first.

00:27:41.480 Next topic, Biden goes first.

00:27:43.000 But then you don't need to jump in in the middle of it.

00:27:45.640 Just let them talk.

00:27:48.300 That's how a debate actually works.

00:27:50.640 And of course, we know that that Biden would never agree to that.

00:27:55.260 Now, Trump would agree to that.

00:27:57.360 I think he would quite happily agree to a debate like that.

00:28:00.400 Joe Biden never would.

00:28:02.420 Um, and the fact that they've stacked the deck in this way, cutting the mics off, no audience, having it on CNN, of course, is the main way they stack the deck.

00:28:13.460 Uh, that's, there are, there are some conservatives making the argument that Trump should not even agree to this because he's walking into what's supposed to be a trap.

00:28:23.600 And I can see that argument, but I think that even with the deck stacked against him, uh, it, there's only so much they can do with, on the Biden campaign to paper over the fact that their guy's a vegetable.

00:28:40.960 There's only so much they can do.

00:28:42.760 And so it's still the advantage, no matter what they do, no matter what rules they put in place, they can put a rule in place that you have a time limit of 20 seconds for each answer.

00:28:51.720 Um, and still the advantage goes to Trump because Joe Biden's a vegetable.

00:28:55.280 Um, and we also know that, you know, Biden has basically two gears that he's capable of.

00:29:04.940 And the first gear is the one that he's usually in, which is just him wandering around and babbling nonsensically.

00:29:09.960 Uh, they don't want that gear for him with this.

00:29:13.160 The only other gear that he has is angry and shouting.

00:29:15.800 And that's kind of what we saw with the state of the union address.

00:29:18.180 And there were plenty of people that were, that were impressed with the state of the union address because he actually made it through the whole thing without falling over or falling asleep or, you know, pooping his pants or whatever, as far as we know.

00:29:28.040 Um, but that's because they had him in that gear.

00:29:31.240 He's, he's angry and shouting the entire time.

00:29:33.420 Um, and which means that that's, that's the gear he's going to be in for this debate is we're going to get angry shouting Biden through the entire thing, which is going to not help his case.

00:29:43.960 I think that's going to be a spectacle, um, that, that will work in Trump's favor.

00:29:52.180 All right.

00:29:55.920 I want to mention this absolutely awful story from the New York post.

00:30:00.560 Um, so here's the story.

00:30:05.580 A 10 year old Indiana boy killed himself after being bullied relentlessly at school, according to his family, who claimed to have raised the alarm at least 20 times in the last year.

00:30:15.060 Sammy, uh, Tausch, a fourth grader at Greenfield intermediate school was bullied right up until the night he died by suicide on May 5th.

00:30:23.560 His dad, Sam said, I held him in my arms.

00:30:27.440 I did the thing no father should ever have to do.

00:30:28.860 And anytime I close my eyes, that's all I could see.

00:30:31.160 Sammy's parents, Sam and Nicole said that they complained to the school roughly 20 times about the bullying that started last year when he was in elementary school.

00:30:38.260 They were making fun of him for his glasses in the beginning.

00:30:40.120 Then it went on to make fun of his teeth.

00:30:41.740 It went on for a long time.

00:30:42.580 His dad said, he was beat up on the school bus.

00:30:44.720 The kids broke his glasses and everything.

00:30:46.060 I called the school and I'm like, what are you doing about this?

00:30:48.200 It's getting worse and worse and worse.

00:30:50.920 The school district superintendent, Dr. Harold Olin, denied any bullying report had ever been submitted by either the parents or the boy.

00:30:57.760 However, he acknowledged that the school's administrators and counselors had regular conversations with the family throughout the year without elaborating because of confidentiality rules.

00:31:06.220 But that's a little bit hard to believe.

00:31:07.600 The school's saying that there was no bullying reported.

00:31:10.160 And yet you're also saying that the family had regular conversations with the counselors.

00:31:13.920 Like, well, what are they talking about?

00:31:15.260 If they're having regular conversations, it's almost certainly about that.

00:31:18.640 What else would they be talking about?

00:31:22.320 The boy's family insists that the fears have been made clear.

00:31:25.500 They knew this was going on.

00:31:26.680 They knew this was going on, he said.

00:31:29.680 And so the parents are obviously distraught.

00:31:33.600 Distraught doesn't even.

00:31:36.900 Words fail to capture what a parent of a child who commits suicide must be experiencing,

00:31:44.740 especially at that age.

00:31:45.780 It's just something I can't even, you know, you can't begin to wrap your mind around it.

00:31:54.020 I will.

00:31:54.640 There's a couple of things here.

00:31:57.680 And because it's the internet, you know, anything that happens becomes fodder for debate and people have opinions and stuff like that.

00:32:06.180 And teams, you know, whatever the event is, like you have teams, teams assemble.

00:32:12.260 And I'm on this team, I'm on that team.

00:32:13.600 And so that has happened with this story, with some of the commentary on it.

00:32:17.640 And you've got some people that are sort of blaming the parents, saying it's the parents' fault.

00:32:21.280 You've got other people that are blaming the school.

00:32:24.220 I'm going to say that I think that you can't really blame either.

00:32:27.040 Or at least if there is one party mainly to blame for this, there's no way for us to know who that is.

00:32:35.040 We probably will never know.

00:32:37.300 But it's quite possible that there's really no one specifically to blame.

00:32:40.500 Now, from the school's perspective, if they were negligent, if they made no attempt to address the problem, if they just ignored the concerns, well, then yes, then they deserve a significant amount of blame.

00:32:57.360 But it's quite possible that the school may have heard these complaints and taken them seriously and done everything they could.

00:33:09.100 But there's only so much they can do.

00:33:10.900 When a child is in school and has been singled out as sort of a pariah for whatever random reason that this happens to you, and it is sort of random, that the bullies in the school just kind of hone in on one kid and decide that he's going to be the target.

00:33:29.840 They've locked in on him.

00:33:31.180 And when that happens, there's just only so much the school can do.

00:33:36.120 They should try to do what they can, but there's only so much.

00:33:38.500 And the problem is that it's a catch-22, because if they don't do anything, if they don't address it, if they don't try to discipline the bullies, then it will continue.

00:33:46.940 But if they do, well, then you risk making the kid even more of a target, you know, because now the kid's going and hiding behind the teachers and all the rest of it.

00:33:58.480 So I don't know the details, like anybody does, outside of those directly involved.

00:34:03.020 But it's quite possible that the school did everything they could reasonably do, and it wasn't enough.

00:34:09.300 And then on the parent's end of it, there's only so much a parent can do when you're sending your kid into school every day.

00:34:15.620 When your kid's going into this environment, you can talk to your child after school.

00:34:21.920 You can reach out to the school administrators.

00:34:24.200 You can try to reach out to the parents of the kids who are tormenting your child.

00:34:28.360 You can do all of that, but you can't go to school with him and walk with him from class to class and shield him physically from the bullying.

00:34:40.140 And even if you could do that, again, you would probably only make it worse.

00:34:45.420 So they could have easily done all of those things, and it wasn't enough.

00:34:50.900 Like, ultimately, the only real answer in a situation like this is to get your kid out of school.

00:35:02.940 And I would say that, now, I know it's easier said than done, and these parents may have been in a position where they just couldn't do that.

00:35:10.020 Maybe they were working towards doing that, but they just couldn't do it right then and there.

00:35:14.080 If you rely on, you know, if you're a dual-income house and you rely on both incomes to keep a roof over your head and there are no private schools in the area that you can afford and there's no other school you can send them to where there's any reason to think it'll be any better.

00:35:34.340 Well, then homeschooling is the other option, and, you know, I'm a big advocate of homeschooling.

00:35:38.300 I think it's the best thing for every kid if you can do it.

00:35:42.040 But that means you have to go down to a one-income house because someone's got to stay home and do the homeschooling, and you might not be able to do that.

00:35:49.380 As much of an advocate of homeschooling I am, I realize that it's not something that a family can just do at the drop of a hat.

00:36:00.760 But that is ultimately the answer.

00:36:04.820 And, you know, the fact is that if you are a parent and your child becomes a target to this extent, that's what you have to do.

00:36:16.880 You have to get the kid out.

00:36:19.040 We are way past, oh, you know, this is a good opportunity for my child to learn how to deal with this sort of pressure, and they're going to have to deal with this in the real world.

00:36:29.380 No. No. I'll tell you something.

00:36:33.780 No child is equipped to deal with this.

00:36:37.280 No child is.

00:36:39.140 And the reason is, and we talked about this on, I was on Tim Pool's show last night.

00:36:42.180 We talked about this a little bit, and I've talked about this many times.

00:36:45.180 It's kind of this phenomenon of peer orientation, the peer culture.

00:36:50.000 And this is what makes it so that it's, no child can really deal with it.

00:36:58.200 And it's not, you know, you might hear from boomers sometimes, people that went to school decades and decades ago, and it's, oh, we had bullies all the time, and we didn't make as much of a big deal out of it.

00:37:09.760 Yeah, but it's not the same.

00:37:14.660 It's different now.

00:37:16.500 And it's different because of the just all-encompassing, pervasive peer culture that these kids are in.

00:37:23.860 They go into the school environment, and they're in a culture now that is run by the peers, like the inmates are running the asylum.

00:37:30.220 That's the way it works in every public school in the country.

00:37:32.280 And it's like Lord of the Flies, you know, in every school, essentially, is how it goes.

00:37:40.560 And they run, they run, they decide what the culture is, what the environment is.

00:37:46.980 And so a child who has been rejected in that culture, and by his peer culture, this is an experience of, from his perspective, from the child's perspective,

00:37:59.740 this is an experience of total social rejection.

00:38:04.100 Now, the fact that we all know that if you're a kid, you're going to grow up, and you're going to graduate school,

00:38:14.060 and before you know it, you'll be graduating school, and none of this will matter anymore.

00:38:18.660 And all the kids who are bullies, you're not going to care about their opinions anymore,

00:38:22.020 and a lot of them will go on to be total failures in life and all the rest of it, and it just won't matter.

00:38:27.600 Now, we know that from our adult perspective looking back, but the kids don't see it that way.

00:38:34.320 They don't have the capability to look that far into the future.

00:38:38.300 All they see is what's around them, and they see total social alienation, total social rejection.

00:38:45.340 And then to make matters worse, and this is the thing that really separates kids of today from kids in the past,

00:38:50.740 and the reason why, if you went to school 30 years ago, it's just not comparable.

00:38:57.420 So you talking about, well, I dealt with bullying.

00:39:00.440 Yeah, but you actually had it a lot easier. You did.

00:39:03.960 Because we also have social media and the internet now, which just changes everything.

00:39:07.960 And if you didn't grow up with that, if that was not a part of your childhood,

00:39:14.280 then you just simply can't even relate to what the kids today are experiencing.

00:39:17.960 Because it's completely changed the world.

00:39:20.460 It's changed what it means to be a child.

00:39:23.940 And when it comes to bullying, what it means is that these kids can never really escape it,

00:39:31.060 because they leave the school environment, but this kind of peer culture follows them

00:39:40.860 because it stays on the internet and social media and the phone and everyone.

00:39:44.820 So it's like they're walking around now constantly in this sort of fog,

00:39:50.740 which means that that alienation and rejection that they're experiencing in school now goes beyond school,

00:39:59.320 because now it bleeds over into the internet and it follows them everywhere.

00:40:06.760 And that's how you end up with children who do horrific and drastic things

00:40:12.880 that they don't understand what they're doing, obviously.

00:40:16.020 But that's how you end up with this.

00:40:18.380 So the only real way to protect your child from that to the greatest extent possible

00:40:30.700 is to keep them out of the school system.

00:40:34.340 And as much as possible, keep them off the internet.

00:40:37.820 Keep them away from all of this so that they remain grounded.

00:40:41.320 And so that they are looking to you as adults.

00:40:46.440 They're looking to their parents.

00:40:48.840 And the approval and affirmation that they care about the most is what they get from you.

00:40:58.340 That's the solution to this, is to make sure that your kids are looking to you for approval and affirmation.

00:41:02.820 When they start looking to their peers for approval and affirmation,

00:41:08.000 that's when they are now in a very vulnerable state.

00:41:11.940 Because their happiness and their sense of self is now depending on these other kids

00:41:19.540 who are just as confused as they are.

00:41:23.580 And they have become now untethered.

00:41:26.200 And anything could happen then.

00:41:29.080 I mean, once that happens, once your kid says,

00:41:33.240 I don't care about your approval and affirmation anymore, mom and dad.

00:41:36.240 I only care about what these people will say.

00:41:39.180 Once that happens, your kid can become anything.

00:41:43.160 Anything can happen then.

00:41:46.440 So you say as a parent, oh, my kid would never do that.

00:41:49.920 My kid would never become that sort of person.

00:41:53.880 Anything could happen.

00:41:54.700 Once they no longer look to you for approval and affirmation.

00:42:00.640 Because now you have no influence.

00:42:03.840 We talk about control a lot with parenting.

00:42:07.940 We say, well, parents need to control their kids.

00:42:12.420 Well, we know that control is not really it.

00:42:14.380 Like, control is a remote control car.

00:42:16.660 You know, you can actually physically decide which way the car goes, right?

00:42:21.220 You have remote control for the TV.

00:42:25.280 You know, that kind of control.

00:42:26.660 That doesn't exist for kids.

00:42:29.460 So you can't actually physically control them in that sense.

00:42:33.560 But what you can do is influence them.

00:42:35.700 So as parents, we wield an incredible amount of influence over our children.

00:42:41.020 And most of the time when we say a kid is out of control,

00:42:43.400 it's not that the parents have lost control over him.

00:42:46.120 It's that they've lost influence over him.

00:42:47.980 They have no influence over his actions.

00:42:50.160 And once that happens, again, with a child,

00:42:54.340 especially once they become, you know,

00:42:56.120 once they get to the preteen and teenage years,

00:42:59.600 and you as a parent no longer have any influence over their actions,

00:43:04.100 that's when terrible, terrible things can happen.

00:43:09.220 All right.

00:43:11.120 I want to mention one more thing.

00:43:13.040 Daily Wire has this report.

00:43:13.940 Two human stars of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes 0.50

00:43:16.440 say that they're on the side of the animals

00:43:18.300 due to the current state of the planet,

00:43:20.160 they were being interviewed in promoting this film,

00:43:25.340 and they made these comments.

00:43:27.320 Let's watch that.

00:43:28.980 I'm fully Team Ape.

00:43:31.380 Listen, obviously, when I'm playing May, I'm Team Human.

00:43:36.180 But I'm Team Ape.

00:43:38.180 Freya's Team Ape.

00:43:39.680 Ah.

00:43:40.540 Why so?

00:43:42.020 I mean, look at the planet.

00:43:45.980 Oh, here we go.

00:43:47.180 Look at what the humans have done to the Earth.

00:43:50.120 Well, yeah. 0.98

00:43:50.920 I dislike humans a lot. 0.97

00:43:52.900 Yeah. 0.91

00:43:53.040 You know, there's the odd one that's like, no.

00:43:56.040 I mean, there are, you know,

00:43:57.480 there are times where you see humans come together

00:43:59.580 and you go, oh, isn't this lovely?

00:44:01.340 And then there's times where you go,

00:44:02.300 do I absolutely hate us?

00:44:04.680 Yeah.

00:44:06.120 So one note here,

00:44:07.480 just casually discussing your disdain

00:44:09.440 for the whole human species

00:44:10.720 is not the kind of thing

00:44:11.920 that a person should feel comfortable doing in general.

00:44:15.560 And the fact that this woman,

00:44:16.660 this rich elitist woman,

00:44:18.820 feels comfortable confessing to her hatred

00:44:20.960 of the human race

00:44:22.120 while promoting a blockbuster film

00:44:24.420 really shows you how far we've fallen as a culture.

00:44:27.500 I mean, it shows you how much

00:44:28.720 the anti-human communists have seized control.

00:44:33.020 Now, is it true that some humans behave atrociously?

00:44:38.340 Sure.

00:44:38.860 I mean, just look at the anti-human communists.

00:44:40.640 That's one example.

00:44:41.620 Look at the fact that Hollywood has gone back

00:44:43.500 to the planet of the apes well, like 75 times,

00:44:47.180 because that's how intellectually

00:44:48.340 and creatively bankrupt they are.

00:44:50.780 Now, yes, by the way,

00:44:51.740 it's an interesting idea for a story,

00:44:53.240 the idea that very smart apes

00:44:54.520 have taken over the planet.

00:44:55.440 And, you know, it's an interesting idea.

00:44:59.280 But is it so interesting

00:45:00.120 that we need like 150 hours worth of material

00:45:02.980 on that subject?

00:45:04.280 Is it that interesting?

00:45:06.340 Really?

00:45:08.340 Like, we get it now, don't we?

00:45:10.420 We had the original Planet of the Apes

00:45:12.420 and then sequels,

00:45:13.480 and then we had a remake

00:45:14.220 of the original Planet of the Apes,

00:45:15.300 and then we had a new sequel trilogy,

00:45:18.280 and now we're continuing

00:45:19.720 with a fourth one from that.

00:45:21.120 Like, don't we...

00:45:22.300 How many different ways can we tell this story?

00:45:24.360 We get it.

00:45:24.800 Yes, apes took over. 1.00

00:45:25.980 Humans had to fight them.

00:45:28.120 Okay.

00:45:30.200 But we keep going back to it

00:45:31.860 because, again,

00:45:33.440 the intellectual and creative bankruptcy.

00:45:36.380 But the point is,

00:45:38.360 this is something,

00:45:40.540 creating this movie,

00:45:42.620 it's something that certain humans have done.

00:45:44.440 It is a sin of certain humans,

00:45:46.160 not all humans.

00:45:47.300 I don't hate all humans

00:45:48.320 because of this movie.

00:45:49.700 Only the ones who made it.

00:45:51.780 As for this idea that humanity

00:45:53.000 is some kind of plague on the planet.

00:45:56.020 First of all,

00:45:56.660 the funny thing is that 0.94

00:45:57.520 this is the kind of nonsense 0.86

00:45:59.220 you really only hear 0.99

00:46:00.300 from left-wing atheists.

00:46:01.900 But left-wing atheists

00:46:03.040 are the ones who are least able

00:46:04.820 to logically make that argument.

00:46:07.620 What I mean is this.

00:46:08.540 If there is no God,

00:46:10.560 then nothing has any value on its own.

00:46:12.420 There is no inherent value to anything.

00:46:14.560 A thing only has value

00:46:15.740 if sentient creatures

00:46:17.020 are there to value it.

00:46:18.780 which means that without humanity,

00:46:20.780 the earth has either no value

00:46:22.420 or at least greatly diminished value.

00:46:25.520 What makes the earth very valuable

00:46:27.740 is that there are so many

00:46:28.720 highly sentient creatures,

00:46:30.180 humans,

00:46:31.140 around to give it value.

00:46:33.880 That's on the atheist view.

00:46:36.200 So saying, 0.99

00:46:36.760 get rid of all the humans 0.99

00:46:37.620 because it'll be better for the earth, 0.98

00:46:39.300 it just doesn't make any sense.

00:46:40.380 Who cares about the earth then?

00:46:42.660 Now,

00:46:43.380 if you believe in God,

00:46:44.480 then you can rightly say

00:46:45.720 that the earth

00:46:46.260 would have value

00:46:47.280 even without people

00:46:48.240 because it is God's creation

00:46:49.680 and God's creative act

00:46:51.380 is what imbues it with value.

00:46:52.980 But,

00:46:53.820 you know,

00:46:54.060 that would obviously

00:46:55.400 not lead you to the conclusion

00:46:57.220 that humans shouldn't exist

00:46:58.580 or that we should be anti-human

00:47:00.220 because God made humans too

00:47:01.360 and gave us dominion over the earth.

00:47:02.400 So either way,

00:47:02.940 it really makes no sense

00:47:03.800 to be anti-human

00:47:05.100 or to suggest

00:47:05.900 that the earth

00:47:06.740 would be better off without humans.

00:47:08.240 It's just,

00:47:08.700 it makes no sense

00:47:09.700 that it's driven by pure

00:47:11.540 misanthropic,

00:47:13.660 nihilistic disdain

00:47:14.260 for life itself

00:47:16.600 which is something

00:47:17.920 that people feel comfortable

00:47:19.340 confessing to

00:47:20.160 even when they're promoting a movie

00:47:21.260 which is very interesting.

00:48:56.380 to our daily cancellation.

00:49:03.460 A lot of young men

00:49:04.480 are worried

00:49:04.960 about getting married

00:49:05.800 because they're afraid

00:49:06.720 that they'll end up

00:49:07.640 with a bad 0.99

00:49:09.120 selfish woman 1.00

00:49:10.000 as a wife 0.98

00:49:10.720 but the good news

00:49:11.640 is that the bad wives 1.00

00:49:13.260 generally announce

00:49:14.240 themselves.

00:49:15.120 They're proud of it

00:49:15.860 and they'll tell you

00:49:16.600 all about it.

00:49:17.640 So take this woman 0.99

00:49:18.320 named Paige.

00:49:19.360 Paige is a TikTok 0.64

00:49:20.220 influencer

00:49:20.800 who also happens

00:49:21.460 to be married

00:49:21.980 before children

00:49:22.700 and she's a bad wife 1.00

00:49:24.720 and is very eager

00:49:25.620 to alert the public

00:49:26.660 to that fact

00:49:27.400 including with

00:49:29.020 this video.

00:49:29.800 Watch.

00:49:31.140 A few weeks ago

00:49:31.840 I said I don't do

00:49:32.440 my husband's laundry

00:49:33.120 and a lot of people

00:49:33.740 are saying

00:49:34.100 whoa, whoa, whoa

00:49:34.880 those are small

00:49:35.580 acts of kindness

00:49:36.160 why wouldn't you

00:49:36.780 want to do that

00:49:37.160 for your partner?

00:49:38.000 But here's the thing

00:49:38.720 small acts of kindness

00:49:40.100 that are mostly

00:49:41.100 domestic labor

00:49:41.820 just add up to work

00:49:43.060 at the end of the day.

00:49:44.100 So here's a list of things

00:49:44.960 that I don't do

00:49:45.560 for my husband.

00:49:46.520 You all know

00:49:47.040 I don't do his laundry.

00:49:48.340 He can do that himself.

00:49:49.460 I do my laundry

00:49:50.260 and we do the kids' laundry

00:49:51.580 but he does his own.

00:49:53.220 I don't cook dinner.

00:49:54.500 He cooks dinner

00:49:55.120 every single night.

00:49:56.280 I do breakfast and lunch

00:49:57.200 for us and our kids.

00:49:58.500 I don't pack him a lunch.

00:49:59.700 If he's hungry

00:50:00.200 he'll figure out

00:50:00.720 what he's going to eat

00:50:01.280 for lunch

00:50:01.640 the same way that I do.

00:50:02.920 I don't make

00:50:03.680 his doctor's appointments

00:50:04.560 because guess what?

00:50:05.740 He's not making mine.

00:50:06.700 Would it be kind

00:50:07.460 of me to do that?

00:50:08.300 For sure.

00:50:08.880 Is it my job?

00:50:09.920 Absolutely not.

00:50:10.680 I want him to be healthy 0.98

00:50:11.400 but he's a grown ass man 0.90

00:50:12.340 and he can book 0.98

00:50:12.760 his own appointments.

00:50:13.540 Right?

00:50:14.140 There's a lot of things

00:50:14.940 that I don't do

00:50:16.000 for my husband.

00:50:17.200 I don't schedule

00:50:17.660 his haircuts.

00:50:18.520 I don't pack

00:50:19.120 his clothes

00:50:19.840 for vacation.

00:50:21.140 Right?

00:50:21.540 I don't do those things.

00:50:22.500 I don't buy him

00:50:23.200 new underwear

00:50:23.720 when it's got holes in it.

00:50:25.100 All of those are things

00:50:26.000 that he's a grown man

00:50:26.700 and he can do himself.

00:50:28.100 Can I do small acts

00:50:28.940 of kindness for him?

00:50:29.620 Of course I can.

00:50:30.520 And I do.

00:50:31.340 I see a vinyl

00:50:32.080 that I think he's going to like

00:50:33.000 because he's creating

00:50:33.520 a vinyl collection.

00:50:34.320 I buy it.

00:50:35.400 I'm at the store

00:50:36.080 and I see something

00:50:36.600 that I think he might

00:50:37.220 enjoy eating.

00:50:37.980 I buy it.

00:50:38.840 I find a new

00:50:39.520 non-alcoholic beer

00:50:40.360 that he wants to try out.

00:50:41.460 I buy it.

00:50:42.340 Right?

00:50:42.680 Those are small acts

00:50:43.300 of kindness.

00:50:44.200 Doing his laundry,

00:50:45.220 cooking him dinner,

00:50:45.840 making him lunch,

00:50:46.640 booking his doctor's

00:50:47.520 appointments,

00:50:47.860 all those things,

00:50:48.800 that's domestic labor. 1.00

00:50:50.060 Those are chores.

00:50:50.760 Those are not acts

00:50:51.220 of kindness.

00:50:52.080 Do I do them occasionally

00:50:52.880 when he's working a lot?

00:50:53.920 Of course.

00:50:54.860 Do I cook dinner sometimes

00:50:55.860 when he's had a really long day?

00:50:57.100 Of course.

00:50:58.100 But me not doing that

00:50:58.960 does not mean

00:50:59.460 that I don't show him

00:51:00.080 love or kindness.

00:51:01.120 They're different things.

00:51:03.520 As a wife,

00:51:03.880 it is not in my job description

00:51:04.940 to do all the domestic labor

00:51:06.420 as small acts of kindness

00:51:07.500 to my partner

00:51:08.060 and receive nothing in return.

00:51:10.140 Now, the video has gone viral

00:51:11.440 with many women

00:51:12.060 in the comments

00:51:12.700 gushing over how much

00:51:14.000 they respect and admire her

00:51:15.280 for this approach,

00:51:16.000 which is good

00:51:16.400 because it gives single men

00:51:17.500 the chance to go through

00:51:18.560 the comments

00:51:19.020 and cross all of these women

00:51:20.520 off of the list

00:51:21.340 of potential wives

00:51:22.220 in the future.

00:51:23.340 A video like this

00:51:23.980 provides a perfect litmus test.

00:51:26.180 Like, show it to a woman 1.00

00:51:27.200 you're dating

00:51:27.700 and if she nods her head

00:51:29.040 and says,

00:51:30.140 amen,

00:51:31.140 break up immediately.

00:51:32.560 Just cut it off

00:51:33.240 right there

00:51:33.620 because there are

00:51:34.740 two major problems

00:51:35.480 with this video

00:51:36.020 and anyone who endorses it

00:51:37.740 also shares in these

00:51:38.740 having these problems.

00:51:40.200 Beginning with the fact

00:51:41.080 that she made the video

00:51:42.440 in the first place.

00:51:43.340 Like, even if I could agree

00:51:44.300 that it's defensible

00:51:45.100 for a wife

00:51:45.700 to flat out refuse

00:51:46.660 to do any of the things

00:51:48.100 she lists,

00:51:48.780 which I don't agree,

00:51:50.220 I would still be,

00:51:51.540 it would still be

00:51:51.960 a major red flag

00:51:52.780 that you're proud

00:51:53.660 of not doing them.

00:51:55.420 You're taking pride

00:51:56.460 in what you don't do

00:51:58.220 for your husband.

00:51:59.240 You are bragging

00:52:00.100 about all the ways

00:52:01.180 that you don't help him

00:52:02.440 and don't care for him.

00:52:04.340 That alone tells us

00:52:05.440 that your marriage 0.81

00:52:06.000 is deeply sick

00:52:06.920 and will not survive

00:52:07.800 for much longer

00:52:08.440 unless you change

00:52:09.300 dramatically and quickly.

00:52:10.560 There's really no reason

00:52:11.480 why you needed

00:52:12.760 to tell the world

00:52:13.640 who does the laundry

00:52:15.040 in your house.

00:52:15.780 Nobody asked

00:52:16.460 for that information

00:52:17.260 and if they did ask for it,

00:52:18.120 you could just ignore them.

00:52:19.640 But you're proud

00:52:21.400 of not doing the laundry.

00:52:22.700 Proud of the fact

00:52:23.340 that apparently

00:52:23.940 when you do a load

00:52:24.860 of laundry

00:52:25.280 for yourself and the kids,

00:52:26.940 you specifically

00:52:28.100 separate his clothes

00:52:29.420 and refuse to throw them

00:52:30.760 in the washer

00:52:31.280 with the other clothes.

00:52:32.960 It takes actual effort

00:52:34.160 to not do the laundry

00:52:35.900 for one person in the house.

00:52:37.860 That's how dedicated

00:52:38.620 you are

00:52:39.280 to not helping

00:52:40.560 your husband.

00:52:41.960 Now, it should be easy

00:52:42.900 to see the problem here.

00:52:44.700 Like, what if your husband

00:52:45.600 made a condescending video

00:52:47.280 where he smugly boasted

00:52:48.820 but all the stuff

00:52:49.880 he doesn't do for you

00:52:51.420 because you're a grown woman 0.62

00:52:52.860 and you can do it yourself?

00:52:54.380 How would that make you feel?

00:52:55.320 Would you be happy

00:52:57.580 that your husband

00:52:58.120 takes pride

00:52:58.980 in refusing to help you?

00:53:01.180 Would you like the fact

00:53:02.400 that he's announcing

00:53:03.100 this to the entire world?

00:53:04.220 I bet you wouldn't.

00:53:05.900 I bet you expect him

00:53:07.280 to be more respectful

00:53:08.400 towards you

00:53:09.080 and your marriage.

00:53:09.800 And I bet

00:53:10.260 that's not the only expectation

00:53:12.020 you have for him

00:53:13.000 that you fail

00:53:13.980 to live up to yourself.

00:53:16.240 In fact,

00:53:16.580 I bet there are chores

00:53:17.480 that you expect him to do

00:53:19.160 that you won't do

00:53:20.140 even though

00:53:20.780 there are no chores

00:53:21.740 that you will do

00:53:23.100 that he won't.

00:53:25.320 I bet I know

00:53:26.140 who shovels the snow,

00:53:27.380 who mows the lawn

00:53:28.460 and it's not you.

00:53:31.060 But putting your

00:53:32.460 bragging aside,

00:53:34.740 your attitude itself

00:53:36.240 is also very wrong.

00:53:37.740 And I'm not saying

00:53:38.520 that you should be

00:53:39.780 the only one

00:53:40.540 always exclusively

00:53:42.260 doing all the things

00:53:43.240 on your list.

00:53:44.260 Every marriage is different.

00:53:45.540 My wife exclusively

00:53:46.580 or nearly exclusively

00:53:47.600 does some of those things.

00:53:49.420 Some of them

00:53:49.840 we both do.

00:53:51.380 My wife does 1.00

00:53:52.680 almost all the laundry.

00:53:53.720 She handles breakfast

00:53:54.720 and lunch for the kids

00:53:55.580 pretty much exclusively,

00:53:56.700 at least Monday

00:53:57.100 through Friday.

00:53:58.080 She makes dinner

00:53:58.960 more than 50% of the time,

00:54:00.260 but I do make dinner

00:54:01.060 fairly often.

00:54:02.640 She books

00:54:04.040 most of the appointments.

00:54:05.500 I generally pack

00:54:06.360 my own suitcase

00:54:06.940 when I travel.

00:54:08.780 My wife does 1.00

00:54:10.240 a vastly disproportionate

00:54:11.600 amount of domestic labor

00:54:12.740 in general.

00:54:14.560 I earn pretty much

00:54:15.560 all the money

00:54:16.080 to keep our family

00:54:16.900 fed and sheltered.

00:54:18.120 That's how it works

00:54:18.720 in our family

00:54:19.200 and it works

00:54:20.020 very well for us.

00:54:21.420 Not every family

00:54:22.320 will work exactly that way.

00:54:23.840 That's fine,

00:54:24.460 but here's the point.

00:54:25.960 Scorekeeping

00:54:26.400 is death to a marriage.

00:54:28.980 If you are only

00:54:29.960 willing to do things

00:54:31.000 that your spouse

00:54:31.760 also does

00:54:32.820 in equal measure,

00:54:34.160 you are keeping score.

00:54:35.800 There is apparently

00:54:36.600 a running tally

00:54:37.660 in your head.

00:54:39.080 I'm guessing

00:54:39.740 that the phrase

00:54:40.320 your turn

00:54:41.160 comes up quite a lot

00:54:42.520 in Paige's household.

00:54:44.680 It's your turn

00:54:45.420 to do the dishes.

00:54:46.120 It's your turn

00:54:46.560 to vacuum the rug.

00:54:47.460 It's your turn

00:54:48.360 to do the kids' laundry.

00:54:51.180 She's keeping track

00:54:51.860 and making sure

00:54:52.680 that her efforts

00:54:53.440 never exceed 50%.

00:54:54.820 I can tell you

00:54:56.700 in my marriage

00:54:57.160 your turn

00:54:57.760 we never say

00:54:58.580 it's your turn

00:54:59.120 to do this.

00:54:59.640 It's your turn.

00:55:01.240 What kind of child

00:55:02.060 are you? 0.96

00:55:02.740 It's a childish mentality.

00:55:04.420 It never comes up.

00:55:05.640 It comes up

00:55:06.240 with our kids.

00:55:07.160 Our kids do that

00:55:07.720 with each other

00:55:08.140 all the time.

00:55:09.060 No, it's your turn

00:55:09.540 to do this.

00:55:10.880 That's how children operate.

00:55:13.620 And who decides

00:55:14.380 what the score is?

00:55:15.620 Who actually keeps track

00:55:16.720 of these things?

00:55:18.040 Well, I think

00:55:18.420 we can assume

00:55:18.940 that that's one job

00:55:20.700 Paige is happy

00:55:21.480 to solely take charge of.

00:55:24.240 Now, marriages

00:55:24.640 can barely function

00:55:25.860 this way

00:55:26.300 and certainly

00:55:26.680 cannot thrive this way.

00:55:27.920 You're treating

00:55:28.300 your husband

00:55:28.760 like a business partner.

00:55:30.660 At best,

00:55:31.140 he's a roommate.

00:55:32.560 In fact,

00:55:32.840 there really is

00:55:33.180 no difference at all

00:55:33.900 in the living arrangement

00:55:34.760 you have with your husband

00:55:35.740 and the one

00:55:36.700 you would have

00:55:37.480 with him

00:55:38.060 if he was just

00:55:38.800 a roommate.

00:55:40.120 That should tell you

00:55:40.940 something.

00:55:42.200 You shouldn't

00:55:42.840 just be willing

00:55:43.620 to do things

00:55:44.200 for him

00:55:44.580 that he

00:55:45.060 does an equal

00:55:47.520 measure in return.

00:55:49.260 You shouldn't,

00:55:49.840 indeed,

00:55:50.340 you should delight

00:55:51.340 in the opportunity

00:55:52.720 to care for him

00:55:54.740 in unique

00:55:57.360 and different

00:55:57.880 kinds of ways.

00:55:58.600 your attitude

00:56:00.180 should be the reverse

00:56:01.340 of what it is

00:56:02.020 right now.

00:56:03.340 You should be proud

00:56:04.360 of the things

00:56:05.160 you do for your husband

00:56:06.840 that he does not do

00:56:09.020 in the same way

00:56:09.940 for you.

00:56:10.840 You should be proud

00:56:11.720 of the special

00:56:12.500 and unique ways

00:56:13.860 that you are able

00:56:15.340 to serve your husband.

00:56:16.820 Just like he should be proud

00:56:18.160 in the reverse.

00:56:21.720 You know,

00:56:21.840 the fact that I,

00:56:22.700 in my family,

00:56:23.400 I earn the money

00:56:24.060 in our family

00:56:24.700 and support

00:56:27.060 and provide

00:56:27.580 for the family

00:56:28.240 pretty much exclusively.

00:56:30.340 That's not a source

00:56:31.320 of resentment for me.

00:56:33.120 I don't sit around

00:56:33.980 and say,

00:56:34.220 well,

00:56:34.300 what are you going

00:56:34.800 to chip in some?

00:56:36.600 I don't want to have

00:56:37.300 to do all this.

00:56:39.180 I like to give something

00:56:40.560 that I don't receive

00:56:41.540 in return.

00:56:42.100 I take pride in that.

00:56:43.880 It's a burden

00:56:44.400 that I shoulder alone

00:56:45.420 and I would rather

00:56:46.320 shoulder alone

00:56:47.080 than go 50-50 on it.

00:56:48.260 My wife,

00:56:48.760 for her part,

00:56:49.260 does many things

00:56:50.120 that I don't do,

00:56:50.860 certainly not

00:56:51.320 in the same way

00:56:52.440 or in the same amount.

00:56:54.220 She also then 0.74

00:56:54.920 gives things

00:56:56.460 that she does not

00:56:57.200 receive back

00:56:58.140 in equal measure.

00:56:59.520 So we're both

00:57:00.580 giving to the family

00:57:01.520 in different ways.

00:57:02.780 How do we keep score then?

00:57:04.580 How do we tally

00:57:05.320 everything up?

00:57:06.420 How do we determine

00:57:07.200 who is doing more?

00:57:08.960 We don't.

00:57:09.780 There's no scorecard.

00:57:10.880 It's not possible

00:57:11.660 to keep a scorecard anyway.

00:57:14.160 We would need

00:57:14.740 like a thousand

00:57:15.420 different scorecards

00:57:16.240 for every aspect

00:57:17.000 of our lives

00:57:17.640 and then we would need

00:57:18.480 to tally up

00:57:19.160 all the scores

00:57:19.620 and come up

00:57:20.100 with some kind

00:57:20.460 of master scorecard

00:57:22.600 that gives

00:57:23.020 the ultimate score

00:57:23.880 based on all

00:57:24.820 the individual scores.

00:57:25.680 And if we did

00:57:26.960 all that,

00:57:28.360 who would we discover

00:57:29.280 in the end

00:57:29.760 is doing more?

00:57:31.920 I don't know.

00:57:33.540 I can only hope

00:57:34.380 that I'm doing

00:57:35.020 everything I can

00:57:35.700 for my family

00:57:36.320 and giving all

00:57:37.840 of myself.

00:57:39.020 I know that my wife is.

00:57:41.200 Now to you,

00:57:41.920 the idea of doing more

00:57:43.040 and giving more

00:57:43.820 is oppressive.

00:57:45.240 It fills you

00:57:46.020 with bitterness

00:57:46.980 and envy.

00:57:49.240 And that's because

00:57:50.000 you love your

00:57:50.740 feminist principles 0.99

00:57:51.520 more than you love

00:57:52.500 your family.

00:57:52.900 It's because

00:57:54.420 you want a co-worker

00:57:55.380 not a husband.

00:57:57.280 And if you don't
