The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1569 - The Media Desperately Wants You To Ignore This Horrifying Story

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the murder of a white high school student in Texas has led to a long overdue conversation about violent crime in this country.

00:00:06.820 A conversation about who is actually committing most of this crime and why, although there are still plenty of people who are very determined to shut down this conversation.

00:00:13.800 We're going to talk about all that today.

00:00:14.700 Also, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett proudly admits that she was a DEI hire.

00:00:18.940 And a video of a woman explaining why she almost divorced her husband has gone extremely viral.

00:00:22.900 I have a lot to say about that.

00:00:23.840 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

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

00:02:09.840 There are a few skills that are hardwired into the brains of infants that are so fundamental and so critical for survival that they're operative from the moment of birth, if not sooner.

00:02:19.040 And one of them is pattern recognition, which is how infants recognize their mother's faces.

00:02:24.460 Even the youngest child is capable of matching a new stimulus with an event that's previously established in their memory and alter their behavior accordingly.

00:02:31.940 Of course, animals do the same thing.

00:02:33.380 But a funny thing happened to pattern recognition starting around the middle of the last century.

00:02:38.960 Pattern recognition transformed from a fundamental feature of human psychology to something that we were told is far more sinister.

00:02:45.860 To paraphrase the author Steve Saylor, a war on noticing commenced.

00:02:50.460 And over the past several decades, we've been told that we are not allowed to notice patterns of human behavior.

00:02:56.500 And if we do notice them, we must pretend that we don't.

00:02:59.260 It's not enough to say that all men deserve equal rights under our Constitution, that all men are created in God's image.

00:03:06.060 Instead, it's now incumbent on all Americans, we're told, to affirm that their past experiences and observations should have no bearing whatsoever on their current thought process or future behavior.

00:03:17.520 White Americans, who observed that cities were becoming much more dangerous, for example, were not supposed to flee to the suburbs for the safety of their families.

00:03:25.380 Rather than engage in white flight, they were supposed to stay put and enjoy the fruits of diversity.

00:03:31.120 This campaign has been going on for several generations.

00:03:33.680 And as we all know, the cities aren't any safer.

00:03:36.460 They're far more dangerous in every respect.

00:03:38.360 But our leaders are undeterred.

00:03:41.180 The mandate of total conformity, the war on noticing, is still underway.

00:03:46.300 And that's why you probably haven't heard the story of a white 19-year-old Berkeley student named Seth Smith.

00:03:51.720 Five years ago, Seth Smith was shot in the back of the head while he was out for a walk near campus.

00:03:56.220 There was no warning.

00:03:57.400 It was not an attempted robbery or anything like that.

00:03:59.420 In fact, Seth Smith still had his headphones on when his body was discovered.

00:04:03.500 And when investigators identified the killer and began questioning him, he complained, quote, 0.99

00:04:09.020 A white kid gets killed and the whole damn world stops. 1.00

00:04:11.580 F that white mother effer. 1.00

00:04:13.760 Now, Seth Smith's killer, as you might have guessed, was black. 0.99

00:04:16.840 And in response, there were no CNN segments about a modern-day lynching.

00:04:20.760 There was no national outcry.

00:04:22.720 Instead, a few months later, the Biden administration declared that white supremacy is the greatest threat facing the nation.

00:04:28.060 Not long afterwards, a white Philadelphia parking enforcement officer named Tim McKenzie was nearly executed in a similar fashion.

00:04:35.840 He was shot in the back of the head by a black man while he was on the job the day after Thanksgiving.

00:04:40.040 This, again, was not a robbery or the result of any kind of altercation.

00:04:44.340 Security camera footage shows that the two men did not interact in any way before the shooting.

00:04:48.380 As Tim McKenzie crumbled to the ground with a bullet lodged in his skull that would take surgeons 15 weeks to remove,

00:04:53.960 the shooter immediately ran away.

00:04:55.400 And again, national media buried the story.

00:04:59.280 You weren't supposed to notice that it happened.

00:05:02.520 In 2023, there was a similar response, or lack thereof,

00:05:05.500 when a white handyman named Lawrence Herr was murdered while he was fixing his elderly mother's mailbox in a suburb of New Orleans.

00:05:12.800 We talked about the murder on the show at the time, but no other major media outlet has ever been interested in the story.

00:05:18.380 Two black men had taken the day off of their jobs at IHOP in order to find a white person to murder. 0.98

00:05:22.860 That was their explicit goal, which they later admitted to police. 0.97

00:05:26.700 They wanted to go hunting for white people. 0.92

00:05:29.340 And so when they saw Lawrence Herr, they circled the block a few times before gunning him down and leaving him to die in the street. 0.96

00:05:35.620 No words were exchanged, no altercation.

00:05:39.080 Their only motive was that Lawrence Herr was white. 0.99

00:05:41.600 So these two black men decided that he had to die. 0.91

00:05:45.800 That same year, a white social worker named Leah Rosen Pritchard was butchered with a hatchet while she worked in a homeless shelter in Vermont. 0.58

00:05:52.880 And again, not a robbery, not the result of an altercation.

00:05:56.840 It was a premeditated murder that was not provoked in any way.

00:05:59.920 Now, whatever community conversations this liberal prosecutor in Vermont had in mind, it's hard to say.

00:06:15.940 Apparently she can't say either because she never explained what she meant.

00:06:19.580 But her general sentiment, at least, is absolutely correct. 0.98

00:06:22.100 It's time to talk about something that nobody in mainstream politics is willing to talk about, which is why there are so many black people, young black males in particular, committing violent crimes. 0.99

00:06:34.520 And why they're committing so many crimes against white people. 0.98

00:06:38.520 Now, for years it's been obvious that this violence would only become more overt and intolerable as a major political party in this country openly encouraged anti-white race hatred.

00:06:47.440 And indeed, that's exactly what's been happening.

00:06:49.020 The lynchings, as the media would call these killings if the races were reversed, are continuing in broad daylight.

00:06:55.100 And they're becoming harder and harder to ignore despite the best efforts of the media.

00:06:59.020 And on Wednesday, as you may have seen, the latest instance of black-on-white homicide took place in Frisco, Texas, which is a short drive from Dallas.

00:07:07.240 A white 17-year-old high school junior named Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death by a black athlete at a championship track meet, which was being held at a local stadium.

00:07:15.440 I want you to listen to how the local media is reporting on what happened.

00:07:21.080 Listen.

00:07:22.240 Steve Heather, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf had a bright future ahead of him.

00:07:26.940 He was a leader on the football field and a scholar in the classroom.

00:07:31.140 His dad told me he's holding on to memories and leaning deep on his faith as he tries to wrap his mind around this senseless tragedy.

00:07:39.320 Wednesday morning, Austin Metcalf was at a District 11 5-8 track meet at Kirkendall Stadium.

00:07:45.280 Around 10 a.m., Frisco police say 17-year-old Carmelo Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest after some sort of fight.

00:07:53.320 Jeff Metcalf says it was Austin's twin brother, Hunter Metcalf, who tried to save him.

00:07:58.600 And his brother was holding him, trying to hold the blood in, and he passed.

00:08:06.220 My son watched his brother die in his arms.

00:08:10.520 It's unclear how Anthony got the knife into the meat or what exactly led up to the fight.

00:08:15.460 It is senseless, according to the local news station.

00:08:19.420 There was some kind of fight.

00:08:21.740 But what kind of fight was it exactly?

00:08:23.840 Did Austin Metcalf attack his killer first?

00:08:26.920 Why exactly would somebody bring a knife to a track meet?

00:08:30.320 And where exactly did the murder take place?

00:08:33.340 Apparently, none of these questions seem relevant to the local Fox affiliate that aired that report.

00:08:37.660 Pretty much all the reporting has been like this.

00:08:39.440 You're supposed to gloss over details from the arrest affidavit, which states that the black athlete, Carmelo Anthony, was spotted in a tent that was reserved for Memorial High School, even though he was competing for a different school called Centennial.

00:08:51.140 And that's when Austin Metcalf, who was running for Memorial High School, told Carmelo Anthony to get out of the tent.

00:08:57.540 In response, one witness says that Anthony opened his bag and reached inside.

00:09:02.120 Then he told Metcalf, quote, touch me and see what happens.

00:09:04.800 At some point, Metcalf reportedly grabbed Anthony or his backpack to get him out of the tent.

00:09:10.300 In response, according to the affidavit, Anthony pulled a knife from his bag, stabbed Metcalf in the heart, and ran away as Metcalf bled out.

00:09:19.080 And police say that he then threw the murder weapon into the stands in order to hide the evidence.

00:09:23.460 Those are facts that look a lot like premeditation.

00:09:26.020 I mean, after all, bringing a deadly weapon into the opposing team's tent during a track meets and then daring them to touch you so you can stab them is exactly the kind of thing you'd do if you wanted to find a pretext to kill someone.

00:09:38.840 And of course, if you had just defended yourself in any kind of legitimate way, you probably wouldn't flee the scene and then throw the murder weapon.

00:09:45.160 The local news station, you know, they don't want to talk about these aspects of the story because they might lead to some unapproved conclusions.

00:09:53.480 It's the same reason they don't show you Carmelo Anthony's recent social media posts.

00:09:57.280 And you can look at these two images here.

00:09:59.560 As you can see, Carmelo Anthony has an evil grin while extending his middle finger towards the camera.

00:10:05.400 In other images, he's hoisting a gun in the air.

00:10:08.140 By contrast, here are Austin Metcalf's recent posts.

00:10:10.920 He's celebrating that his hard work paid off and that he won linebacker of the year in football as well as team VP and also team MVP rather.

00:10:23.100 And just a week ago, he was writing about his faith in God and all the hard work paying off.

00:10:31.780 So the contrast could not be more obvious or more predictable.

00:10:34.260 Now, the reason these images aren't being played in primetime by every news outlet is the same reason they showed you the childhood images of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin and so on.

00:10:46.660 Instead of the images where they were wearing gold teeth or flashing gang signs, they're trying to short circuit your pattern recognition.

00:10:54.280 You're not supposed to notice that posing like a thug and acting like one is a commonly accepted aspect of black culture in this country. 0.97

00:11:03.080 Everybody knows that's true, but no one's supposed to say it.

00:11:07.640 But no matter how much the media tries to deceive us, the fact remains that pattern recognition is hardwired at birth.

00:11:14.880 And to prove that point, consider this hypothetical, which I posted yesterday on social media.

00:11:19.120 A lot of people were very upset by this post, which is why, you know, of course, I'm going to repeat it.

00:11:24.000 Here's the hypothetical.

00:11:26.520 Imagine, you didn't know anything, let's say you didn't know anything about this latest incident.

00:11:30.540 Imagine, and imagine that I told you that a young man stabbed another young man to death for telling him that he was in the wrong seat.

00:11:39.420 And then I told you that one young man in the altercation was white and the other was black.

00:11:44.700 And then I asked you to guess the race of the assailant.

00:11:49.380 Without any more information, you would know the answer immediately, wouldn't you?

00:11:53.740 Every single person in the country would know the answer immediately. 0.99

00:11:59.220 Because young black males are violent to a wildly, outrageously disproportionate degree. 1.00

00:12:05.440 That is a fact. 0.99

00:12:07.540 The race's reverse scenario would almost certainly not happen. 0.94

00:12:12.240 Okay, black people don't have to worry about being murdered in cold blood if they say something slightly irritating to a random white person. 0.92

00:12:19.580 White people have a lot more reason to worry the other way around. 0.95

00:12:24.500 The statistics on this point could not be more stark.

00:12:29.100 And really, any stat you look at bears it out.

00:12:31.800 But let's just look at this, for example.

00:12:34.320 From 2010 to 2020, as one of my followers pointed out to me yesterday,

00:12:37.920 there were a total of 14,689 black-on-white homicides.

00:12:41.860 By contrast, there were just 6,148 white-on-black homicides.

00:12:48.000 This is in spite of the fact that there are over 200 million white people in this country and only 40 million black people.

00:12:55.020 And so that means that, adjusting for population size, 0.90

00:12:57.680 a black person is approximately 12 times more likely to kill a white person than vice versa. 0.98

00:13:05.400 12 times more likely. 0.82

00:13:07.500 Now, when you look at violent crime in general, the disparity is even wider.

00:13:12.200 According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in 2019,

00:13:15.280 there were 562,550 violent interracial incidents involving blacks and whites.

00:13:20.880 A total of 472,570 of these incidents, 84% of them were black-on-white.

00:13:29.340 And, adjusting for population size, that means that it's about 28% more likely

00:13:33.100 that a black person will violently attack a white person than the other way around. 0.62

00:13:36.500 Actually, not 28%. 0.94

00:13:38.120 That's 28 times, right?

00:13:40.140 Not 28%.

00:13:40.880 It's quite a bit more than that.

00:13:42.420 And that includes robbery, rape, assault, and so on.

00:13:45.420 Now, to clarify, I'm talking about a very small subset of the population here. 0.93

00:13:51.420 Almost all of the violent crime among black people, and people of any race, is committed by young males.

00:13:56.760 Well, there are 20 million black males in the country, 40 million black people, 0.94

00:14:01.660 20 million black males about in the country, which only accounts for about 7% of the American population.

00:14:07.280 So, if we were to take out all of the black males over the age of 36 from these calculations,

00:14:11.980 you'd realize quickly that it is a very small portion of the population

00:14:15.360 that is committing a hugely astronomically disproportionate amount of violent crime.

00:14:22.440 According to FBI statistics, the 18 to 34 age range dominates violent crime statistics

00:14:27.540 to the point that it makes up something like 50 to 60% of all arrests.

00:14:31.860 And again, that's general of all races. 0.99

00:14:34.420 Overall, somewhere around 50% of the murders in this country are committed by black people, 0.96

00:14:40.060 and about 35% of non-fatal violent crime is committed by the same group. 0.82

00:14:45.480 Again, these crimes are being committed by less than 13% of the population.

00:14:51.380 So, in other words, there's clearly a massive problem in black culture, 1.00

00:14:56.840 specifically as it relates to younger black males.

00:15:00.100 And contrary to what the media will claim,

00:15:02.820 this is not a problem that can be solved by eliminating systemic racism,

00:15:07.480 alleged systemic racism, or sending reparations to the black community.

00:15:11.080 The New York Times, of all places, made this very clear in its reporting a few years ago.

00:15:15.340 Here's what they wrote in the New York Times.

00:15:17.280 And this is one of the most remarkable statistics that you'll ever hear.

00:15:20.900 Quote,

00:15:22.500 The sons of black families from the top 1% 0.99

00:15:24.900 had about the same chance of being incarcerated on a given day

00:15:27.840 as the sons of white families earning $36,000 a year.

00:15:32.640 I'll say that again for emphasis.

00:15:34.800 The sons of black families from the top 1% economically 1.00

00:15:39.500 had about the same chance of being incarcerated on a given day

00:15:42.700 as the sons of white families earning $36,000 a year.

00:15:47.420 So, that means pretty clearly that the legacy of slavery or whatever

00:15:51.820 does not explain the statistical propensity for violence

00:15:55.820 that we see among young black males.

00:15:58.060 No amount of affirmative action or DEI can solve the problem.

00:16:02.740 Reparations are not going to fix this.

00:16:05.120 It is a much deeper issue.

00:16:06.900 So then, what does explain these statistics?

00:16:11.440 Well, we've discussed many times that roughly 70% of black children are born to single mothers.

00:16:16.980 That's far higher than any other demographic group on the planet.

00:16:20.420 And it's obviously a major contributing factor.

00:16:24.020 No demographic group can remain productive and functional members of society 1.00

00:16:27.460 if their children are routinely abandoned by their fathers.

00:16:29.920 But at the same time, we still have to explain why exactly 0.96

00:16:34.760 all of these black fathers are abandoning their children. 0.71

00:16:39.120 You know, we have to solve the cause of the problem 0.99

00:16:41.880 rather than talking about just the symptoms.

00:16:44.580 Jason Whitlock wrote this on X yesterday, quote,

00:16:46.900 Quit imagining if the roles were reversed and reverse your role in the insanity. 0.97

00:16:51.200 Boldly state there's a problem with American black culture 1.00

00:16:53.560 and that we all must reject and fight against a demonic culture 0.99

00:16:56.560 that defines blackness as loud, violent, entitled, hedonistic, materialistic, 1.00

00:17:01.520 ghetto, prison, victimhood, profane, matriarchal, and tatted. 0.99

00:17:06.060 Loudly and boldly reject so-called black culture. 1.00

00:17:08.820 It separates black people from Christ. 1.00

00:17:10.880 Reject the idols of black degeneracy. 1.00

00:17:12.720 Snoop, Kendrick, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Cardi B, et cetera. 0.99

00:17:16.140 All demons. 0.93

00:17:18.320 Now, this is a black man saying this, of course, 0.98

00:17:21.680 and it's probably worth paying attention to. 0.92

00:17:25.100 Now, of course, much of modern culture across the board is, as Jason says, demonic.

00:17:30.740 The glorification of materialism, of hedonism, and so on,

00:17:34.020 is not a feature exclusive to black culture.

00:17:37.060 But these problems are obviously significantly more pronounced 0.90

00:17:40.740 in the black community. 0.96

00:17:42.720 And black culture is, therefore, producing a lot of very angry, 1.00

00:17:49.100 very violent young men who do not value human life, 0.99

00:17:54.240 their own or anyone else's.

00:17:57.080 This is a fact borne out by both statistics

00:17:59.860 and individual experience of pretty much everyone in the country.

00:18:03.940 This is a real problem.

00:18:06.260 We all know it.

00:18:08.300 We have to stop pretending that we don't know it.

00:18:12.500 Now, is this the only cause for dysfunction in black communities? 0.99

00:18:15.500 Of course not.

00:18:16.280 Anyone who tells you that there's an easy solution here is lying to you.

00:18:19.860 The roots of this problem are deep and far-reaching

00:18:22.660 and tangled in many different directions.

00:18:24.720 But we know with certainty that we'll never identify those roots

00:18:28.600 if we can't speak honestly about it.

00:18:30.860 Every academic is required to believe that any negative statistic involving racial disparities

00:18:37.000 in the aggregate, whether it's SAT scores or violent crime or anything else,

00:18:40.680 must be the result of systemic racism and nothing else.

00:18:45.180 As a corollary, we're required to believe that every statistical discrepancy

00:18:48.900 can be solved with liberal social engineering.

00:18:51.100 Well, this approach has been a disaster for this country.

00:18:56.920 Too many people of all races have been killed 1.00

00:18:59.500 because statistics and common sense and open debates are now effectively outlawed.

00:19:07.060 You know, we constantly hear about the need for an uncomfortable conversation about race.

00:19:11.960 We hear this all the time.

00:19:14.340 Well, this is it.

00:19:15.500 This is the uncomfortable conversation.

00:19:21.400 And for Austin Metcalfe's sake and the sake of countless other victims,

00:19:25.680 both white and black, it's time that we finally start having it.

00:19:30.180 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:37.460 As Doge continues to surgically cut the fat

00:19:40.120 from decades of bloated government spending and corruption,

00:19:42.640 Pure Talk, the cell phone company I use for business every day,

00:19:46.020 is cutting the fat from the wireless industry.

00:19:48.680 That's right.

00:19:49.120 Pure Talk says, I don't think so, to $100 a month cell phone plans.

00:19:53.300 That's just wasteful.

00:19:54.360 It's irresponsible.

00:19:55.200 Instead, they're offering America's most dependable 5G network

00:20:27.400 Okay, we missed the show yesterday.

00:20:29.500 As you noticed, we had big storms and flooding here in middle Tennessee.

00:20:34.100 Still have a lot of flooding.

00:20:36.300 Wednesday night, actually early Thursday morning, I guess,

00:20:40.460 was just one tornado warning after another.

00:20:43.300 And I don't think I've ever been through something quite like that.

00:20:46.080 I mean, you get a lot of tornado warnings here in Tennessee.

00:20:48.620 But this was, we must have had three or four tornado warnings in a row

00:20:53.340 between the hours of like 2.30 a.m. and 5 a.m.

00:20:56.640 I read that Tennessee as a state had 140 tornado warnings

00:21:00.180 between Wednesday and Thursday.

00:21:03.020 And of course, you know, when you have a tornado warning

00:21:05.040 as opposed to just a tornado watch,

00:21:07.040 which in Tennessee you're just under a tornado watch

00:21:09.180 pretty much constantly in the spring and summer.

00:21:13.200 But that means you have to get to a safe place in the house,

00:21:15.860 which is going to be somewhere, you know, on a lower level interior room

00:21:19.500 so you're not on any exterior walls.

00:21:21.260 There's no windows.

00:21:22.040 That's what you want.

00:21:22.680 And so like three different times we had to get up all the six kids up in the house

00:21:29.160 to go sit in the pantry because that's for us that our only interior room in the house

00:21:35.120 that's not on an exterior wall, doesn't have a window, is our walk-in pantry.

00:21:38.880 And so that's where we spent about three or four hours on very early Thursday morning

00:21:45.040 was sitting in the pantry.

00:21:46.260 And of course, you know, my kids were having a blast, the younger ones anyway.

00:21:52.680 They thought it was fun.

00:21:54.340 We were locked in a room that has all the snacks, so that's a lot of fun

00:21:59.000 and also diminished our chances of starving to death by a considerable margin,

00:22:03.380 although there was still a chance.

00:22:05.180 And the next day my five-year-old kept asking when the tornado would come back

00:22:10.680 because she wanted to go in the pantry again with the family

00:22:14.440 because to her it was like fun.

00:22:15.480 It's like camping or something.

00:22:17.200 And that's that wonderful childhood innocence, you know.

00:22:21.440 My wife and I were in the pantry looking at the radar

00:22:26.420 with like a line of tornado storms gunning right for us.

00:22:32.520 And meanwhile to the kids, it's a game.

00:22:34.540 It's fun.

00:22:35.360 And that's good.

00:22:37.660 That's the innocence that you want with kids.

00:22:40.520 Now, a few stories to mention here before we get to the daily cancellation.

00:22:46.020 And I hesitate to start with this.

00:22:47.860 I promise that we will stop playing Jasmine Crockett clips for a while after this.

00:22:54.680 But I do have to play it because it's just too perfect.

00:22:57.880 So during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight meeting,

00:23:01.620 Crockett admitted for some reason that she was a DEI hire.

00:23:08.020 And this, of course, is this is the same person who has spent many months and years

00:23:13.720 claiming that DEI like basically doesn't exist

00:23:17.240 and that the whole concept of a DEI hire is not real.

00:23:21.240 And yet here she is just coming out and admitting it openly.

00:23:24.220 Listen.

00:23:25.480 When I first became a public defender, I had no criminal defense experience.

00:23:29.920 And I walked in and I told my boss, Charlie, I said, listen, you should hire me.

00:23:34.780 He said, why?

00:23:35.620 I said, because I'm black. 0.90

00:23:37.120 Charlie looked at me like I was crazy. 0.95

00:23:38.780 Yeah, well, there you go.

00:23:44.240 Yes, that's now.

00:23:45.600 Now, Fox News has the rest of that quote, which isn't in the clip for some reason.

00:23:49.220 But she continued and said.

00:23:50.940 And I said, let me tell you something.

00:23:53.760 When I walk in, I'm going to walk in with a level of rapport and understanding that maybe

00:23:57.580 some of my other colleagues will not.

00:24:00.340 Charlie offered me my job and I worked my butt off and I worked really, really hard for all

00:24:03.980 of my clients, not just those that look like me.

00:24:07.400 That's what it looks like to serve.

00:24:10.620 Okay.

00:24:10.900 So, so yes, there you go.

00:24:12.260 This, yes, that's DEI hiring.

00:24:14.980 This is indeed Jasmine Crockett admitting that she was a DEI hire.

00:24:18.400 She got hired to a position where she had no experience all because she was black.

00:24:24.580 And that was her only qualification, or at least that was her main qualification, according

00:24:29.120 to herself.

00:24:29.860 Now, ironically, of course, a lot of black defendants ended up getting the short end of

00:24:35.800 the stick here.

00:24:37.380 It was most likely predominantly black people who ended up, you know, on the losing end

00:24:45.260 of Jasmine Crockett being a DEI hire.

00:24:48.020 Because imagine that you're charged with a crime and they give you a public defender and

00:24:52.120 you ask the defender what her qualifications are.

00:24:54.300 And she tells you, oh, well, I'm black.

00:24:58.300 Don't worry.

00:24:58.980 Don't worry, you're in good hands. 0.55

00:25:01.100 I'm black.

00:25:03.080 And the thing is, Jasmine really doesn't even understand the problem here.

00:25:07.900 Okay.

00:25:08.260 I don't think she even understands it.

00:25:09.820 On the one hand, she goes around claiming that the concept of a DEI hire is a myth. 0.97

00:25:17.020 And the next thing you know, she announces proudly that she was hired because she's black. 0.99

00:25:21.540 And this is not even necessarily a double standard or hypocrisy or whatever. 0.94

00:25:27.280 However, this is her not understanding the point.

00:25:31.400 There is a comprehension problem here.

00:25:33.800 And I'm not saying that to let her off the hook.

00:25:35.300 That's not my point.

00:25:36.840 I'm just saying that I actually think Jasmine Crockett truly doesn't understand the difference

00:25:43.240 between objecting to black people being hired for a job and objecting to black people being 0.93

00:25:48.980 hired for a job because they're black. 0.67

00:25:50.680 So when we object to the latter, she hears it as the former. 0.92

00:25:57.440 Again, not excusing her.

00:25:59.500 I only mean to point out that she is very dim.

00:26:02.440 This is a very dim bulb that we are dealing with.

00:26:06.160 And I was thinking about this.

00:26:08.120 I think part of what's happening here is this, that for a long time, we had these left-wing

00:26:15.220 race hustlers who would intentionally misconstrue these kinds of arguments.

00:26:20.380 They knew that there was a difference between objecting to hiring black people and objecting 0.99

00:26:24.540 to hiring them because they're black. 0.92

00:26:26.660 They understood that what we're actually objecting to is, again, the latter, not the former. 0.89

00:26:30.500 They knew that, but they conflated the two cynically and intentionally. 0.99

00:26:34.820 And they did this to manipulate the rubes who would follow them and are too stupid to 1.00

00:26:39.860 understand the distinction. 0.99

00:26:41.240 And I think with Jasmine Crockett, we now have the rubes themselves taking over. 1.00

00:26:48.640 The rube generation is now taking over for the, I think, more intelligent, cynical race 1.00

00:26:55.740 hustlers who came before them. 0.90

00:26:56.960 And these people like Jasmine Crockett, I mean, they're just as morally debased as the 1.00

00:27:02.020 old guard of race hustlers were, and they're just as dishonest, and they're just as cynical. 1.00

00:27:06.800 But I do think that they're a lot dumber. 1.00

00:27:09.700 They are, you know, they are very, very dumb. 1.00

00:27:13.360 Postmillennial reports on this. 1.00

00:27:14.940 A Colorado bill introduced by Democrats would classify misgendering and deadnaming as forms

00:27:19.800 of child abuse to be considered in child custody disputes.

00:27:23.180 The legislation is introduced Friday, sponsored by Democratic representatives Lorena Garcia,

00:27:27.580 Rebecca Stewart, Faith Winter.

00:27:30.580 The bill is named the Kelly Loving Act after a transgender-identifying individual killed

00:27:34.800 in a 2022 club shooting in Colorado Springs.

00:27:37.640 The bill is based on the premise that individuals can identify as a gender identity contrary to

00:27:41.740 their biological sex.

00:27:43.200 It defines deadnaming as to purposefully and with the intent to disregard the individual's

00:27:47.200 gender identity and gender expression refer to an individual by their birth name rather

00:27:51.740 than their chosen name.

00:27:54.220 Similarly, the bill defines misgendering as to purposefully and with the intent to disregard

00:27:58.140 the individual's gender identity and gender expression refer to an individual using an honorific

00:28:01.980 or pronoun that conflicts with the individual's gender identity or gender expression.

00:28:06.300 Under the proposed law, courts handling child custody decisions would be required to consider

00:28:10.360 misgendering and deadnaming or threatening to publish information related to a child's sex

00:28:14.680 change procedures as forms of coercive control when determining the best interests of the child.

00:28:21.740 Okay, so they would be required to view this as abuse, which obviously would end up meaning

00:28:29.700 that the parent who is not on board with the gender transition would lose custody of the child.

00:28:35.040 That's the whole point here.

00:28:36.320 And this is something that in practice is already happening in many family courts, as we know.

00:28:41.380 I mean, you can look at the case of somebody like Jeff Younger, for example, who we've talked

00:28:44.180 about many times.

00:28:44.780 But now Colorado wants to codify it into law.

00:28:47.940 They want to require it.

00:28:50.200 And what that would mean is that if a mother wants to trans her child and the father doesn't,

00:28:56.900 she can just divorce him and take the child and get full custody because under this law, 1.00

00:29:02.380 the father would be viewed as an abuser.

00:29:04.320 I mean, the father is guilty of abuse.

00:29:05.680 And, by the way, in this hypothetical, I say the mother is transing the child only because 0.78

00:29:11.640 in literally every case of one parent transing a child over the objection of the other,

00:29:17.500 it's like always the mother doing it.

00:29:20.020 Always, always.

00:29:22.360 I mean, I've never heard of the reverse of this.

00:29:25.780 Have you?

00:29:26.520 I've never heard of it.

00:29:27.420 And, you know, the reverse where it would be the father wants to trans the kid and the

00:29:33.800 mother is objecting.

00:29:35.980 Has anyone ever heard of that happening?

00:29:39.200 And I think that's an interesting fact that we should probably spend more time on.

00:29:43.160 Not all mothers trans their kids, obviously.

00:29:47.380 But you could argue that only mothers trans their kids.

00:29:51.500 I mean, sure, you'll find cases where the dad is on board.

00:29:53.600 Dwayne Wade is a prominent example.

00:29:56.040 But even in those cases, the dad is always following the mother's lead.

00:30:00.420 Not to let the dad off the hook by any means.

00:30:03.460 And as I said, if there's a disagreement between the parents on this point, mom is always on

00:30:08.640 the pro-trans side.

00:30:10.180 So, you know, that's worth exploring.

00:30:12.140 But for now, just when it comes to this law, this is obviously horrifically evil and crazy

00:30:17.880 and barbaric and demonic beyond all imagining.

00:30:22.080 And this is what trans activists are going to increasingly resort to because they've lost

00:30:28.800 the argument.

00:30:29.340 They've lost the debate.

00:30:30.180 The debate is over.

00:30:31.060 As we've covered extensively, this is an 80-20 issue.

00:30:35.440 Vast majority of Americans are against men and women's sports.

00:30:37.520 The vast majority are against transing the kids.

00:30:40.260 The debate is over.

00:30:41.680 There's no debate.

00:30:42.960 Trans activists have lost.

00:30:44.240 They know they lost.

00:30:45.460 And so all that is left is coercion.

00:30:49.420 Right?

00:30:49.900 Rip the children away from their parents.

00:30:52.900 Trans the children by force. 1.00

00:30:54.680 Which is kind of the nuclear option.

00:30:57.700 And to be clear, trans activists have been using this option the whole time.

00:31:00.660 But now it's all they have.

00:31:02.440 Force and compulsion.

00:31:03.920 Tear the families apart. 0.98

00:31:05.520 Throw the sane parents out. 1.00

00:31:07.680 Throw them in jail if you can. 1.00

00:31:09.660 Trans the kids. 1.00

00:31:10.460 Do it by force.

00:31:11.220 That's their approach now.

00:31:13.220 Because it's all they have.

00:31:14.380 And that's why it's going to become even more important if you're a single person.

00:31:18.780 If you're a single man especially.

00:31:21.080 To make sure that, you know, when you're out on the dating scene.

00:31:25.420 That the woman you're dating.

00:31:27.500 The woman you're considering proposing to.

00:31:30.100 Is fully on your side.

00:31:33.220 On this issue.

00:31:34.460 And all.

00:31:34.840 That your values are fundamentally aligned.

00:31:39.260 Completely.

00:31:41.040 So.

00:31:42.180 And that's pretty easy to tell.

00:31:44.560 Because like.

00:31:45.320 When.

00:31:46.380 When you bring up the trans stuff.

00:31:48.640 To a woman that you're dating.

00:31:51.380 Which I think.

00:31:52.240 No reason why you can't bring it up on a first date.

00:31:54.000 Maybe you want to wait until the second or third.

00:31:55.340 That's fine.

00:31:56.260 But when you bring it up.

00:31:58.700 She better react with. 0.77

00:32:01.740 Revulsion.

00:32:03.720 Disgust.

00:32:05.300 Fury.

00:32:06.980 Right.

00:32:07.920 The idea of.

00:32:09.920 A gender transition for a child.

00:32:12.200 Any of this stuff.

00:32:14.380 You know.

00:32:15.100 She better say words to the effect of. 0.98

00:32:17.920 Castrating kids. 1.00

00:32:18.760 Are you insane? 1.00

00:32:20.200 Hell no. 1.00

00:32:21.440 I would rather die than have that happen to my kids.

00:32:23.940 Like something like that.

00:32:25.740 Her answer needs to be that strong.

00:32:27.660 Needs to be that conclusive.

00:32:28.940 Because if she has the slightest sympathy for the pro-trans side.

00:32:32.820 Run away.

00:32:34.060 I mean.

00:32:34.380 Get up.

00:32:35.120 In the middle of the date.

00:32:36.760 Walk away.

00:32:39.200 Ghost her. 1.00

00:32:39.820 Don't even bother or break it.

00:32:42.360 Just leave.

00:32:43.880 This is over.

00:32:44.680 We're done.

00:32:45.260 I'll never talk to you again.

00:32:46.400 I mean.

00:32:46.700 That is how strict the line has to be.

00:32:50.400 And that's partly because.

00:32:56.440 If your values are not aligned on that level.

00:32:59.620 On that fundamental level.

00:33:00.860 If you can't even agree on.

00:33:03.340 You know.

00:33:04.120 The reality.

00:33:06.340 Biological reality. 0.99

00:33:07.780 Or these basic moral questions.

00:33:10.120 Then the relationship ultimately isn't going to work.

00:33:13.040 But also.

00:33:14.780 When you look at the way family courts work.

00:33:16.960 And also these laws that are being passed.

00:33:19.840 And proposed in many states.

00:33:23.060 This is the level of caution you need to exercise.

00:33:25.360 So that you don't end up married to a woman. 0.99

00:33:27.320 Who will try to steal your son. 0.99

00:33:29.320 And castrate him.

00:33:30.720 And that's a real thing you have to worry about. 0.97

00:33:35.060 But that doesn't mean.

00:33:36.620 That if you're a young man.

00:33:38.060 You have to give up on relationships.

00:33:39.500 Give up on marriage.

00:33:40.440 You know.

00:33:41.940 That's why I've always said.

00:33:43.220 You don't have.

00:33:43.600 No reason why you have to abandon it.

00:33:46.040 You just need to bring up these subjects early.

00:33:50.160 And hear what she thinks.

00:33:51.620 And it will be easy to tell.

00:33:55.980 Right.

00:33:56.460 Any person who's sane on an issue like this.

00:33:58.980 That's.

00:33:59.600 You can't fake that.

00:34:02.120 So.

00:34:04.360 You just have to have the conversation.

00:34:06.880 All right.

00:34:07.120 I want to talk about this.

00:34:08.820 This is a case with.

00:34:10.880 The most predictable twist ending.

00:34:12.820 Maybe in history.

00:34:13.880 It started a few days ago.

00:34:15.120 Earlier in the week.

00:34:15.880 When the media started frantically reporting.

00:34:17.760 About a guy named Chris Lewis.

00:34:19.600 Who was arrested in Georgia.

00:34:21.040 For leaving his kids.

00:34:22.280 Aged 1, 6, and 10.

00:34:24.360 At a McDonald's for two hours.

00:34:26.220 Unattended.

00:34:27.740 So that he could go to a job interview.

00:34:30.240 And the media ran with the story.

00:34:31.780 Tons of headlines about it.

00:34:33.520 A lot of commentary on social media.

00:34:35.300 Focusing on the fact that Chris Lewis is black.

00:34:37.720 So the implication is that this was somehow racist as well.

00:34:40.900 And before long.

00:34:42.180 There was a GoFundMe.

00:34:43.300 That was established.

00:34:45.700 For this father.

00:34:46.620 That raised tens of thousands of dollars.

00:34:48.740 To give to this dad.

00:34:50.540 Because he was just trying to better his life.

00:34:52.620 And better his children's lives.

00:34:54.040 And you know.

00:34:54.860 People love donating to GoFundMes.

00:34:57.220 And anytime there's a viral story.

00:35:00.700 About anyone who seems to be.

00:35:02.460 You know.

00:35:03.080 Vaguely sympathetic.

00:35:04.360 We know that GoFundMe is close behind.

00:35:07.080 And it's going to raise a lot of money.

00:35:08.900 And that's exactly what happened here.

00:35:10.520 Now.

00:35:11.200 I saw this story.

00:35:12.560 And I didn't comment on it.

00:35:13.760 At first.

00:35:15.220 Even though.

00:35:16.320 I would tend to probably be on the side.

00:35:19.660 Maybe not on the side of.

00:35:20.920 But sympathetic to.

00:35:24.860 The father in this story.

00:35:27.280 Like in this version of the story.

00:35:28.960 If it was true.

00:35:30.300 I would tend to be sympathetic to a father.

00:35:32.180 Who did something like that.

00:35:33.380 In order to go to a job interview.

00:35:34.980 It's a bad idea.

00:35:36.160 Don't get me wrong.

00:35:37.460 I would not do that.

00:35:38.440 It's a very bad idea.

00:35:39.760 It's very ill advised.

00:35:40.720 To leave a ten year old.

00:35:41.860 To watch a one year old.

00:35:42.800 At McDonald's for two hours.

00:35:44.460 Very bad idea.

00:35:45.780 But if he's trying to go get a job.

00:35:48.280 And he's trying to better his life.

00:35:51.040 And the life of his children.

00:35:52.460 Then I'd be sympathetic.

00:35:54.160 And I do think that we've gotten.

00:35:56.140 Way way too hyper.

00:35:57.340 And paranoid.

00:35:58.060 About leaving kids alone places.

00:36:02.980 And you know.

00:36:03.780 I was just talking to somebody recently.

00:36:04.960 Who had the cops called on him.

00:36:07.040 Because he left a kid in the car.

00:36:09.900 For five minutes.

00:36:11.360 While he ran into a gas station.

00:36:14.360 It was not hot out.

00:36:15.780 Okay.

00:36:15.940 It's not like it was 95 degrees.

00:36:17.200 It was whatever.

00:36:17.900 65, 70 degrees.

00:36:19.160 So it was a nice mild day.

00:36:20.940 Doors were locked.

00:36:22.460 They're in a safe part of town.

00:36:24.960 The car was in sight.

00:36:26.540 The whole time.

00:36:27.700 He just ran into the.

00:36:28.580 You know.

00:36:28.760 Because maybe you pump the gas.

00:36:29.720 You got to run into the store.

00:36:30.620 To get a couple things.

00:36:31.360 So he could see the car the whole time.

00:36:33.680 And I guess somebody's noticed this.

00:36:36.380 Called the cops.

00:36:38.020 And then it becomes a whole thing.

00:36:41.200 And you know.

00:36:42.980 So people are very hyper about it these days.

00:36:45.200 Whereas when I was a kid.

00:36:46.260 I feel like I spent half my childhood.

00:36:49.480 Waiting in cars.

00:36:50.480 While my parents were in.

00:36:52.500 You know.

00:36:53.080 Stores and running errands.

00:36:54.740 Half my childhood was just sitting in a car.

00:36:56.680 Waiting for my parents to come back.

00:36:58.160 It was a very common thing.

00:37:00.020 And.

00:37:00.280 But these days you can't even do that.

00:37:01.460 I mean.

00:37:01.840 As you know.

00:37:02.560 You know how I feel about.

00:37:03.820 Ditching shopping carts and parking lots.

00:37:05.620 We've talked about that plenty of times.

00:37:07.160 But still not nearly enough.

00:37:09.060 And this is what you hear from a lot of mothers.

00:37:10.520 Because they won't even leave their kid in the car alone.

00:37:14.200 For 20 seconds.

00:37:16.140 To walk across a parking lot.

00:37:19.300 What the hell is going to happen in that time?

00:37:21.740 Nothing's going to happen.

00:37:22.500 It'll be fine.

00:37:23.760 But this is how we are.

00:37:26.740 And not just in cars.

00:37:27.940 I mean.

00:37:28.040 We've talked about.

00:37:28.680 We've talked about stories where.

00:37:29.940 You know.

00:37:30.860 Cops are called on parents.

00:37:32.300 Because they let.

00:37:33.740 A 10 year old.

00:37:35.640 Walk down the street to a park alone.

00:37:37.960 That sort of thing.

00:37:38.860 We've basically made any form of independence.

00:37:41.620 For children.

00:37:42.520 Illegal.

00:37:43.780 And.

00:37:44.460 For no real reason.

00:37:45.300 By the way.

00:37:46.160 As I think most people understand.

00:37:47.580 Intellectually at least.

00:37:50.160 The worst case scenario.

00:37:51.660 Is like.

00:37:51.840 Like.

00:37:52.060 Why wouldn't you just leave a kid alone.

00:37:54.620 Leave him in a car.

00:37:55.560 Leave him at home.

00:37:56.940 For.

00:37:57.320 For a.

00:37:57.640 For a limited amount of time.

00:37:58.640 Why wouldn't you do that?

00:37:59.880 What.

00:38:00.180 Like.

00:38:00.360 What's the worst that could happen?

00:38:01.560 And most people.

00:38:03.560 The worst case scenario.

00:38:04.700 They're worried about.

00:38:05.460 Is that.

00:38:05.840 Well.

00:38:05.920 What if somebody comes and takes the kid?

00:38:07.600 I'll leave my kid in the car.

00:38:08.440 For five minutes.

00:38:09.200 What if somebody comes and steals my kid?

00:38:12.640 But that is almost certainly not going to happen.

00:38:16.080 I mean.

00:38:16.520 You have to look at the stats.

00:38:17.420 But I think you're.

00:38:18.180 The chance that your child is kidnapped by a stranger.

00:38:20.880 Is.

00:38:22.820 Basically in line with the chance that he's struck by lightning.

00:38:24.880 It's just something that hardly ever happens.

00:38:28.340 It's almost certainly not going to happen.

00:38:31.240 And now again.

00:38:31.980 With that said.

00:38:33.780 I still don't think you should leave a one-year-old at McDonald's alone.

00:38:37.140 Now he wasn't alone.

00:38:38.140 Granted he was with a 10-year-old.

00:38:39.080 But a 10-year-old is not old enough to watch a kid for two hours.

00:38:41.800 So.

00:38:42.300 It's still a bad idea.

00:38:44.100 But.

00:38:44.380 You know.

00:38:46.700 I.

00:38:46.940 I would be sympathetic.

00:38:49.080 If the story was true.

00:38:50.580 That brings us to the twist ending.

00:38:52.480 Which is that.

00:38:53.440 It's.

00:38:53.760 It's not true.

00:38:54.640 Now we have the update.

00:38:56.700 From Outkick.

00:38:58.000 Who reports.

00:38:58.780 The story of the Georgia man who says that he left his kids at a McDonald's to attend

00:39:02.820 a job interview has taken quite a twist.

00:39:05.420 In a supplemental police report obtained by Outkick from the Richmond County Sheriff's

00:39:08.560 Department.

00:39:09.540 Police determined that Chris Lewis, the father of three, did not attend a job interview while

00:39:14.160 leaving his kids at an Augusta McDonald's.

00:39:16.560 So they looked into it.

00:39:18.100 And they found out that he was not going to a job interview.

00:39:21.620 What was he actually doing?

00:39:23.620 I don't think we know that yet.

00:39:25.620 I would guess it's related to drugs.

00:39:28.000 I don't know that.

00:39:28.640 Just to be clear.

00:39:29.360 Just my guess.

00:39:30.060 My best bet.

00:39:31.940 Okay.

00:39:32.080 If I was making a bet on FanDuel right now.

00:39:34.300 That's what I would say.

00:39:35.160 I'd put a thousand dollars on it.

00:39:36.160 I'd feel pretty confident.

00:39:38.120 And.

00:39:39.800 Or you know.

00:39:40.460 Maybe going to a strip club or something.

00:39:41.840 Usually something like that.

00:39:44.340 And.

00:39:45.260 You know.

00:39:45.540 I want to give people a hard time.

00:39:46.940 If they bought the job interview thing.

00:39:50.020 You know.

00:39:50.220 If they thought that this was some kind of pursuit of happiness.

00:39:52.860 Sort of story.

00:39:53.800 You know.

00:39:54.260 Will Smith.

00:39:55.400 Showing up to the job interview.

00:39:56.720 And a wife beater.

00:39:57.580 Covered in paint.

00:39:58.240 You know.

00:40:00.560 And I think a lot of people hear stories like this.

00:40:02.500 And you want.

00:40:03.100 You want it to be something like that.

00:40:06.280 And I want to give you a hard time for that.

00:40:07.780 For being so naive.

00:40:08.920 But I get it.

00:40:10.260 I mean.

00:40:10.540 I would rather live in a world.

00:40:11.860 Where this story is believable.

00:40:15.540 I read that story.

00:40:17.660 And the first thing I thought is.

00:40:19.500 Yeah.

00:40:19.960 He didn't go to a job interview.

00:40:21.580 First thing I thought.

00:40:23.240 And I wish I was wrong.

00:40:25.280 I really truly do.

00:40:27.840 I really wanted to see the update.

00:40:29.560 Where you know.

00:40:30.280 It turns out that the whole story was right.

00:40:31.840 And maybe that.

00:40:33.060 Maybe the company.

00:40:33.660 Whatever company he was applying for a job.

00:40:35.280 Maybe they come out and say.

00:40:36.280 Yeah.

00:40:36.500 He was with an interview.

00:40:37.180 He came to an interview.

00:40:38.320 It was a great interview.

00:40:39.340 He did great.

00:40:40.180 We're going to hire him next week.

00:40:42.880 Right.

00:40:43.240 He's turning his life around.

00:40:44.300 I really wish that was the case.

00:40:46.120 I really wanted that to be true.

00:40:47.600 But it just was certainly not going to be true.

00:40:52.800 And it turns out that it isn't.

00:40:55.480 Because that's not the actual world that we live in.

00:40:57.640 I'm afraid to say.

00:40:59.260 And I do think that a lot of people would do well.

00:41:02.940 To adopt just a bit more skepticism.

00:41:05.660 And even a little bit more cynicism.

00:41:08.120 I'm not saying you have to be as cynical as I am all the time.

00:41:10.620 But just a little bit more.

00:41:15.660 And then.

00:41:16.600 Because if you have a little bit more cynicism.

00:41:18.960 Maybe you'll at least save your money.

00:41:20.800 Next time there's a viral GoFundMe campaign going on.

00:41:25.160 So you know.

00:41:26.160 Could save a little bit of money.

00:41:27.120 And in this economy.

00:41:27.940 We could all use that.

00:41:29.800 Tax season is here again.

00:41:31.220 And the IRS is not messing around in 2025.

00:41:33.460 Look I get it.

00:41:34.160 Tax problems are about as fun as a root canal.

00:41:36.140 Maybe you've got some unfiled returns collecting dust.

00:41:38.820 Or you're sitting on a pile of back taxes.

00:41:40.720 That's giving you night sweats.

00:41:42.280 And with April 15th breathing down your neck.

00:41:43.960 It's tempting to just walk into the woods alone.

00:41:45.920 Never look back.

00:41:46.680 And hope it all goes away.

00:41:47.760 But here's the thing.

00:41:48.960 Trying to ghost the IRS.

00:41:50.100 Well it's just not going to happen.

00:41:51.360 Doesn't end well.

00:41:52.180 That's why you should use Tax Network USA.

00:43:03.060 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:43:10.520 I want to talk about a certain mom influencer who's gone extremely viral with videos recently

00:43:15.800 where she dispenses truly awful advice to women. 1.00

00:43:19.500 And I think this woman is worth discussing because she is but one tentacle on a giant and hideous squid. 0.87

00:43:27.020 Women, in particular young married mothers, are getting a lot of very bad advice from our culture. 1.00

00:43:32.520 And often they're getting it from these kinds of influencers.

00:43:36.280 This woman, Paige Connell is her name, is not the most famous or the most followed in this space.

00:43:41.680 But she is growing in prominence with hundreds of thousands of followers across multiple platforms, millions of views.

00:43:47.720 And she's amassed a growing base of fans who consider her to be a role model and a kind of wise sage.

00:43:53.700 Which, as we'll see in a moment, is quite alarming.

00:43:57.680 Now much has been said about the so-called manosphere and the reported harm that those influencers are doing to young men.

00:44:03.800 They're even making Netflix miniseries about it now.

00:44:05.900 Now, not nearly enough is said about what we might call the woman's sphere.

00:44:10.680 These are the feminist boss babe influencers like Paige Connell and the very real harm that they're doing to women 1.00

00:44:18.160 and those women's husbands and children by extension. 1.00

00:44:21.860 About a year ago, we discussed a video featuring Paige Connell where she was bragging, you may remember,

00:44:28.580 about all the things she doesn't do for her husband.

00:44:31.340 And in case you forget, just to jog your memory, here's that insufferable diatribe again.

00:44:36.480 Watch.

00:44:37.740 A few weeks ago, I said I don't do my husband's laundry.

00:44:39.940 And a lot of people are saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, those are small acts of kindness.

00:44:42.960 Why wouldn't you want to do that for your partner?

00:44:44.620 But here's the thing.

00:44:45.740 Small acts of kindness that are mostly domestic labor just add up to work at the end of the day.

00:44:50.760 So here's a list of things that I don't do for my husband.

00:44:53.180 You all know, I don't do his laundry.

00:44:55.020 He can do that himself.

00:44:56.120 I do my laundry and we do the kids' laundry.

00:44:58.640 But he does his own.

00:44:59.720 I don't cook dinner.

00:45:00.620 He cooks dinner every single night.

00:45:02.800 I do breakfast and lunch for us and our kids.

00:45:05.020 I don't pack him a lunch.

00:45:06.300 If he's hungry, he'll figure out what he's going to eat for lunch the same way that I do.

00:45:09.640 I don't make his doctor's appointments because guess what?

00:45:12.360 He's not making mine.

00:45:13.640 Would it be kind of me to do that?

00:45:14.980 For sure.

00:45:15.560 Is it my job?

00:45:16.600 Absolutely not.

00:45:17.360 I want him to be healthy, but he's a grown ass man and he can book his own appointments, right?

00:45:20.820 There's a lot of things that I don't do for my husband.

00:45:23.880 I don't schedule his haircuts.

00:45:25.220 I don't pack his clothes for vacation, right?

00:45:28.200 I don't do those things.

00:45:29.040 I don't buy him new underwear when it's got holes in it.

00:45:31.760 All of those are things that he's a grown man and he can do himself.

00:45:34.640 Can I do small exercise?

00:45:36.260 She goes on listing all the things she doesn't do for her husband.

00:45:39.020 Won't do her laundry.

00:45:39.960 Won't do laundry for her husband. 1.00

00:45:41.200 Won't cook him meals.

00:45:42.260 Won't help him keep appointments.

00:45:44.320 Won't help him pack for trips.

00:45:46.600 Won't do anything that requires any effort.

00:45:48.740 In fact, she'll put an effort to avoid doing things for her husband.

00:45:52.240 This is a woman who apparently picks through the dirty laundry, puts her husband's stuff to the side, and forces him to do it himself. 1.00

00:45:59.760 Then she calls it an act of kindness when she buys him a bag of chips at the grocery store.

00:46:03.900 Now, why is Paige so committed to never doing anything that might lead to embarrassing accusations that she actually loves and respects her husband?

00:46:11.860 Well, because Paige, as the woman in the relationship, is burdened with an enormous, quote-unquote, mental load.

00:46:18.760 Now, Paige talks a lot about the mental load.

00:46:21.500 She has a mental load explainer front and center on her website.

00:46:24.220 It says, quote,

00:46:25.080 Now, if you want to know more about this,

00:46:55.080 the good news is that Paige offers one-on-one consultation.

00:46:58.500 It'll only cost you about $250 an hour.

00:47:01.500 So you can unload your mind and your wallet at the same time.

00:47:04.560 Pretty good deal.

00:47:06.360 Now, the mental load, as I mentioned, is a constant theme in Paige's work.

00:47:09.000 She's convinced that women carry a disproportionate allotment of the mental burdens of supporting and caring for a family. 1.00

00:47:15.740 She's made dozens of videos about it, one after another, all with the same message,

00:47:19.700 which is that women carry basically the whole mental load of marriage and family life. 1.00

00:47:23.380 Men carry almost none of it.

00:47:26.380 And this is a total fiction.

00:47:28.620 But it's a fiction that is apparently very appealing to a large number of women. 0.82

00:47:32.480 So let's now play the latest video from Paige, which has gone astronomically viral on X.

00:47:37.920 It has over 100 million views, well over 100,000 likes.

00:47:41.700 Tens of thousands of women are cheering and shouting amen to this video. 0.97

00:47:44.720 And it is a five-minute rant where Paige tears her husband down, complains about him, belittles him, and reveals that she even considered divorcing him.

00:47:54.980 And she offers all of this to the public for some reason.

00:47:58.720 Listen.

00:47:58.860 I've been with my husband for almost 20 years, but about three years ago, I was strongly considering divorce.

00:48:05.120 And I want to talk to you about why.

00:48:06.740 So I'm going to tell you the story of the day where I thought to myself, maybe I don't want to do this anymore.

00:48:12.360 My husband and I had four kids.

00:48:13.940 We both worked full-time.

00:48:15.140 We had been together for 16 years at this point.

00:48:17.380 We've been together since high school.

00:48:19.160 And on paper, I have an amazing husband.

00:48:21.640 He is incredibly supportive.

00:48:22.980 He's kind.

00:48:23.760 He's loyal.

00:48:24.580 He's a great dad.

00:48:25.860 He's very hands-on.

00:48:26.900 He's an active participant.

00:48:28.140 He's always present.

00:48:29.120 Like, on paper, what else could I ask for?

00:48:32.480 But in reality, my experience is very similar to the experience of other women.

00:48:37.300 I had this amazing husband who, on paper, was great.

00:48:39.380 But I was incredibly frustrated and burnt out from our marriage and from motherhood.

00:48:44.900 Because what happens to so many of us is that we marry these amazing men.

00:48:49.340 And we have amazing relationships.

00:48:51.140 And then we have kids.

00:48:52.160 And when we have kids, women tend to carry a disproportionate amount of the work in the home, the work of raising kids, and the mental load. 1.00

00:49:00.160 And that is exactly what happened to us.

00:49:02.460 About three months after my fourth baby was born, I remember looking at my husband and saying, I need more.

00:49:08.620 I need you to do more.

00:49:09.940 I am exhausted.

00:49:10.800 I am in charge of everyone and everything in this house.

00:49:14.660 Every night when we cook dinner, you ask me what to make.

00:49:18.000 Every day when you drop off the kids at daycare, you ask me what they need in their backpacks.

00:49:21.580 I am the project manager of this home and I need you to do more.

00:49:25.000 And he looked at me and he said, okay, just tell me what to do.

00:49:27.660 Right?

00:49:27.980 Every woman has heard this.

00:49:28.800 Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

00:49:30.320 And I said, okay, you know, something that would make my life easier is if in the mornings when I came downstairs with the four kids, because I do mornings by myself, the dishwasher was emptied, the dishes were put away, and the trash was taken out.

00:49:41.960 That would make my life so much easier.

00:49:44.480 Okay, now, by the way, just a note there.

00:49:47.500 You notice how she says that he asks her what to make for dinner.

00:49:53.160 Well, we learned in the other video that this man makes dinner for the family every night.

00:49:57.380 She said it herself.

00:49:58.080 When he comes home from his very demanding job, which we'll get to in a moment, he's the one making the dinner for everyone.

00:50:05.280 All he does is ask her what she wants.

00:50:08.220 And so somehow in her mind, she has the greater burden when it comes to dinner because she only has to say, here's what I'd like.

00:50:15.760 Now, she spends 10 seconds saying what she wants. 1.00

00:50:20.220 He spends an hour making it, but the burden is on her somehow in her mind.

00:50:25.180 So we've learned so far that her husband is amazing.

00:50:28.360 He's loyal, supportive, attentive.

00:50:30.480 And yet she still considered blowing up her family and upending her children's lives because she was frustrated that he wasn't doing chores the way she wanted.

00:50:37.940 Now, why would that thought even enter her mind?

00:50:39.880 And how in the world could the dissolution of your marriage ever even be considered as a solution for household chores?

00:50:48.060 Well, she goes on to explain it all came to a head one morning when she walked into the kitchen only to discover that her instructions had not been followed.

00:50:54.580 That was the precise moment when she considered throwing her marriage vows straight into the garbage.

00:51:00.640 And there was this one morning where I woke up and I went to put something in the trash and it was overflowing.

00:51:06.500 And I went to get my son's water bottle and it was in the dishwasher with all the other clean dishes.

00:51:12.580 And I felt so disrespected and unseen and unvalued at that point in time.

00:51:19.640 And I remember texting my husband being like, what happened?

00:51:22.160 Like, why didn't you do this?

00:51:23.160 And he said, sorry, I was running late for work.

00:51:25.500 And I remember thinking, oh my God, he doesn't see me because what he's done has now made me late for work.

00:51:32.760 And he doesn't care about that.

00:51:34.140 He doesn't care about the impact on me and he doesn't see how every single thing in our home happens because I asked him to do it or because I do it myself or because I planned and organized it.

00:51:45.020 The diaper bag is full because I filled it, right?

00:51:47.140 I put the wipes in there.

00:51:48.440 And I felt so frustrated.

00:51:50.560 And I remember thinking, what's the point?

00:51:52.960 What's the point of doing this with someone else?

00:51:54.860 I might as well just do it at home.

00:51:55.760 Now, the happy ending to this story is that she decided not to divorce her husband because he started doing what she wanted him to do without being told.

00:52:05.060 And as she puts it, a woman's love language is not having to ask.

00:52:08.940 So she expects everything to be done exactly as she wants, exactly when she wants.

00:52:13.180 And she expects all that to happen without having to say it out loud.

00:52:16.920 If it doesn't happen, she will seriously entertain ending her marriage. 0.67

00:52:22.200 And somehow she sees herself as the good guy in this scenario.

00:52:26.620 Even worse, thousands of women seem to agree. 0.61

00:52:29.600 Even though approximately 100% of those women would be furious if their husbands ever came up to them and said,

00:52:38.460 Honey, I expect you to do what I want without being told.

00:52:42.520 Okay, a man who said that publicly about his wife would be denounced as an abuser by the very same women cheering Paige Connell.

00:52:50.260 The glaring double standard in this video and in literally every video this woman makes is just one problem. 1.00

00:52:56.240 There are many others.

00:52:56.960 Let's start with the fact, again, that she is criticizing her husband publicly.

00:53:02.080 The first rule of marriage is that you do not attack, criticize, or tear down your spouse publicly.

00:53:08.940 Much less do you use your spouse's supposed flaws as clickbait on the internet.

00:53:15.060 Paige, though, has made an entire brand out of doing exactly that.

00:53:18.100 But again, we can bet that if her husband ever made one single video where he spent even one minute offering the slightest critique of his wife, she would lose her mind. 0.98

00:53:34.040 And we all know that.

00:53:36.020 She desperately wants to feel seen, but I'm guessing she doesn't want to be seen like that.

00:53:40.600 Now, Paige insists that she is the exclusive carrier of the mental load. 0.97

00:53:46.120 All that tells us is that she is a raging narcissist who has never stopped to even consider what kind of mental and emotional burdens her husband might be shouldering.

00:53:55.940 Now, we talked about this during a segment last week.

00:53:58.000 We often hear about emotional labor in a marriage, which means basically the same thing as the mental load.

00:54:04.540 And these terms are always used by and about women. 0.98

00:54:09.000 The assumption is that men have no mental load, that they have no emotional labor.

00:54:12.340 And the reason why some women like Paige have come to that conclusion is that along with being raging narcissists who are fundamentally incapable of showing the slightest empathy for the men they married, they're also confused. 0.97

00:54:23.580 They confuse their husband's lack of complaints with a lack of things to complain about.

00:54:30.040 The fact that he's not saying his complaints out loud is taken to mean that he has no complaints in his head.

00:54:36.420 But their husbands don't go around whining about their mental and emotional troubles because they're trying to spare their wives from having to share in their burdens.

00:54:47.460 Also because they assume, rightly, that their wives will hold it against them and resent them if they open up.

00:54:54.120 Here's what we know.

00:54:54.980 If Paige's husband were to actually talk about his mental load with Paige, she's the kind of woman who would flip it around and make it immediately about herself.

00:55:04.220 Because suddenly, his sharing of his mental load has only contributed to her mental load.

00:55:10.500 Next thing you know, she's filming another TikTok video bashing him while he's at work. 1.00

00:55:15.120 So he says nothing.

00:55:16.740 And his wife considers that as evidence that his mind is free of all troubles.

00:55:20.180 But that is certainly not the case.

00:55:23.140 So, what then might Paige's husband's mental load consist of?

00:55:28.620 Well, for one thing, he works full-time to support his family.

00:55:31.400 Even in our enlightened age, in the majority of families, men are still the primary or sole breadwinners in the majority of cases. 0.79

00:55:39.720 Now, I know you might object and say that, well, Paige has a full-time job. 0.96

00:55:44.380 That's true.

00:55:45.240 But listen to her on a podcast recently.

00:55:48.060 Describe her job.

00:55:49.900 And this is really important.

00:55:51.260 Okay?

00:55:52.280 Why she still has it, even after having kids.

00:55:55.880 Listen.

00:55:56.060 The reason – I feel like I have to often justify it, right?

00:56:00.520 I shouldn't have to do that, but I do.

00:56:01.820 I justify it.

00:56:02.620 And the reason that I personally remain in the workforce is, first and foremost, because I wanted to.

00:56:07.520 I want to have a job.

00:56:08.980 I want to have purpose outside of my kids.

00:56:11.240 My parents were divorced when I was young.

00:56:12.960 And I always saw the value in my mom being able to support herself and have that financial security.

00:56:18.480 That's really important to me.

00:56:19.780 Not even just for divorce, but God forbid something happens to my partner.

00:56:22.920 He works an incredibly dangerous job.

00:56:24.620 Like, I want to know that I could take care of my family if I wanted to.

00:56:28.660 It gives me purpose, right?

00:56:30.080 It gets me motivated.

00:56:31.240 More than that, if we were solely talking financial reasons, what I've said is oftentimes people leave the work for a short period of time.

00:56:37.340 Or people tell them to.

00:56:38.480 Like, just leave for five years.

00:56:39.700 You can go back.

00:56:40.760 And for me, the short-term cost savings didn't outweigh the long-term opportunity for my career, for my income growth, for my retirement fund, for my benefits, right?

00:56:52.100 All of these things that I want to do in 10 years require me to stay in the workforce now.

00:56:59.720 My, my, I, me, I.

00:57:04.120 You notice when she was talking about why she has a job, she never once mentioned her kids?

00:57:09.300 So, why does Paige work? 1.00

00:57:12.120 Well, she works first and foremost, you heard her say it, because she wants to. 1.00

00:57:15.680 Because she enjoys it.

00:57:16.840 Because it gives her purpose.

00:57:18.700 Okay, fine.

00:57:19.560 Fine.

00:57:19.820 But, and this is important to understand, the mental load of your job is significantly decreased if you're doing it essentially for fun.

00:57:32.380 On the other hand, if you asked Paige's husband why he works, he would likely give the same answer that almost any husband and father would give.

00:57:40.840 Go up to any man, ask him why he has a job.

00:57:42.740 Okay, I guarantee you he's not going to say, well, first and foremost, I work because it gives me purpose.

00:57:48.680 No, he will say that he works because he needs to provide for his family.

00:57:52.240 He works because he has to.

00:57:54.580 Paige works because she wants to. 1.00

00:57:56.840 The pressure and burden of providing for the family still falls primarily on him, even if her income is equal or almost equal or even, even greater than his.

00:58:05.260 Because she could quit her job if she wanted to.

00:58:09.060 He cannot.

00:58:10.120 He's the backstop.

00:58:11.140 He's the cornerstone.

00:58:12.380 He works because he must.

00:58:14.380 And this is how it goes in the majority of families.

00:58:16.580 Not every, not every, but the majority.

00:58:19.480 The man works so that his family survives.

00:58:21.360 The woman works, if she works at all, because she wants to. 1.00

00:58:24.860 The woman works for lifestyle. 1.00

00:58:27.360 The man works for livelihood.

00:58:29.420 The mental burden is not the same.

00:58:31.380 Not even close.

00:58:32.560 It's like comparing a woman walking a tightrope five feet off the ground to a man walking 500 feet off the ground with no safety net and his wife and kids balancing on his shoulders.

00:58:41.560 If she falls, it's an inconvenience.

00:58:43.320 If he falls, they die.

00:58:45.680 Now, speaking of which, you may have noticed that Paige mentioned her husband's dangerous job.

00:58:50.560 She says it kind of as an aside.

00:58:52.040 Oh, yeah, he works a dangerous job.

00:58:53.140 Anyway, what is his job?

00:58:55.660 I want you to listen to this clip from the same podcast.

00:58:57.440 It's the last clip of this woman that I'll play, I promise. 1.00

00:58:59.120 But this short 45-second snippet is too perfect to not share, because the whole problem with this woman and every woman like her is contained in this one moment. 0.98

00:59:10.460 Listen very carefully to this.

00:59:13.080 Okay, Paige, my squirrel brain really won't let it go.

00:59:16.080 What dangerous job does your husband do?

00:59:18.700 Oh, yeah, he's a lineman, which when I say that people will think football, which is not football, it's an electrical lineman, essentially.

00:59:25.560 So he climbs utility poles and fixes electricity.

00:59:27.660 And it could get electrocuted any day.

00:59:30.520 For you, that's what your brother-in-law does, right?

00:59:32.140 No.

00:59:32.280 Or he does something similar to that?

00:59:33.540 No.

00:59:33.940 No.

00:59:34.040 But it's something like, no.

00:59:35.620 Okay.

00:59:36.160 Not really.

00:59:36.840 Fine.

00:59:37.780 Totally off there, Joanne.

00:59:39.880 Totally off there.

00:59:41.060 Yeah.

00:59:41.900 It's just a lot of electricity, which is dangerous, right?

00:59:44.540 And they work like a ton of storms and works a lot of crazy unexpected hours.

00:59:48.380 It's just a dangerous job.

00:59:50.460 Yeah.

00:59:50.740 It's crazy.

00:59:51.620 It's crazy.

00:59:52.100 So you put the video out saying that you chose to stay in the workforce, take the temporary hit and cost, and you got a lot of, quote, unquote, reaction.

01:00:00.380 What was some of the pushback to that argument?

01:00:03.040 Because to me, it makes total sense.

01:00:04.720 Oh, man.

01:00:09.140 This poor guy.

01:00:10.500 He's out climbing utility poles, putting his life on the line every day, this incredibly demanding job, while his wife is at home complaining about him on TikTok.

01:00:17.960 And then he comes home and makes dinner for the family every night.

01:00:21.500 And his wife still isn't happy.

01:00:24.360 I mean, incredible.

01:00:25.860 Her husband is a utility lineman.

01:00:27.420 That's one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet.

01:00:29.760 And in the middle of Paige whining about all of her mental loads, she briefly acknowledges that point and then pivots right back into whining about people being mean to her on Instagram or whatever. 0.51

01:00:41.520 Hey, Paige, do you think that maybe there might be some mental loads involved in doing a job with a fatality rate 400% higher than the national average?

01:00:52.400 You think the possibility of dying on the job might weigh a bit on your husband's mind?

01:00:57.140 You think the mental load that he carries because he might die on the job might even be just a bit higher than the load you carry because you have to write a grocery list?

01:01:08.040 You think?

01:01:08.960 Maybe.

01:01:10.300 He is literally risking his life every day to provide for his family.

01:01:14.000 But you insist that the mental burden is carried exclusively by you because you spend more time worried about the dishes than he does.

01:01:20.840 Your husband left in the morning to go do a job that might kill him.

01:01:26.080 Then you woke up and the only thing you could think about was the fact that he didn't unload the dishwasher.

01:01:32.560 You complain about feeling unseen because some household chore wasn't completed.

01:01:36.720 Meanwhile, you apparently don't see your husband at all.

01:01:40.300 I mean, I've never met the guy and I have a greater appreciation for the sacrifices he makes and the struggles he faces than you do.

01:01:46.100 Now, Paige's problem, aside from being monstrously self-absorbed, is that it's the same problem that, thanks to feminism, plagues so many marriages. 1.00

01:01:55.940 She insists that everything has to be equal, even though equality in a marriage is impossible. 0.97

01:02:04.000 Yes, women, it's true, often end up taking on a disproportionate amount of the domestic responsibilities. 1.00

01:02:08.680 Please, that's not oppression.

01:02:11.360 Okay, that is millennia of biological hardwiring.

01:02:14.280 A woman's mind tends to be more focused on needs inside the home, which is why a woman might tend to be, like, the fact that there's dishes to do, a man can do the dishes. 1.00

01:02:25.100 But he's not going to be troubled by that fact to the extent that a woman will be, which is not an insult to women.

01:02:32.080 It's just women are more focused on that. 1.00

01:02:36.020 A man's mind is more focused on what needs to be accomplished outside the home for the sake of the family. 0.98

01:02:40.960 Here's the point.

01:02:41.900 Neither the husband or the wife are wrong in their focus.

01:02:46.400 In fact, it's good they focus on different things.

01:02:48.320 They got all the bases covered.

01:02:49.320 That's the way it's supposed to work.

01:02:50.940 They're different.

01:02:51.900 But women like Paige are forever frustrated and doomed to misery because they just cannot accept that their husband is different. 0.99

01:02:58.420 They cannot accept that they married a man and not a woman.

01:03:02.080 But this inequality cuts both ways.

01:03:04.160 There are things that the wife will bring to the table in unequal measure. 1.00

01:03:08.220 There are also things that the husband brings to the table in unequal measure.

01:03:11.720 Most obviously, as we discussed, in the vast majority of cases, the husband is the financial bedrock of the family.

01:03:16.220 He's the sole breadwinner, the primary breadwinner, or even in cases where he's neither sole nor primary, still very often, the necessary breadwinner.

01:03:23.660 The wife can have a job or not. 1.00

01:03:25.260 The husband must have a job regardless. 0.90

01:03:27.200 But it's not just that.

01:03:28.000 The husband also provides many other things, including a sense of security and safety.

01:03:33.120 Now, it's unlikely that he'll ever have to fight off armed intruders.

01:03:36.100 But even so, his wife and children look to him to feel secure.

01:03:42.560 The wife, in turn, provides precisely no sense of security and safety for her husband. 0.94

01:03:48.520 The wife feels safer with the husband there and around. 0.91

01:03:53.320 The husband does not feel safer with the wife around because he's the sole source of security. 0.95

01:03:59.100 The road only goes one way in the family.

01:04:01.580 Everybody looks to him to feel safer and more secure.

01:04:04.180 He looks to nobody.

01:04:05.640 There's no one.

01:04:06.180 He looks over to his right, and he's the last.

01:04:08.160 He's it.

01:04:08.860 He's the guy.

01:04:09.340 That's not a bad thing.

01:04:13.720 As a husband, I have absolutely no bitterness about the fact that I carry the pressure of providing for my family and making them feel safe and secure.

01:04:20.820 I am honored that I can do that for my family.

01:04:23.460 I take joy in the inequalities, in the things that I can do without receiving an equal measure in return.

01:04:30.940 And that is the only way to have a happy and lasting marriage.

01:04:34.360 You have to accept that your spouse is not the same as you.

01:04:38.800 They do not think the same way.

01:04:40.800 They don't focus on the same things.

01:04:42.760 They don't have all the same anxieties.

01:04:44.980 They have different anxieties in many cases.

01:04:47.340 You married another person, not a carbon copy of yourself.

01:04:51.440 And that fact can either be a source of joy or it can be a source of envy and resentment.

01:04:57.420 That depends entirely on how you choose to look at the situation.

01:05:03.700 Paige chooses to see her extra burdens as the mother as oppressive.

01:05:07.240 While not acknowledging that her husband has any burdens at all.

01:05:11.700 You know, this will be very scandalous for Paige to hear.

01:05:14.460 But, you know, Paige, you could delight in the opportunity to love and serve your husband and your children.

01:05:21.640 You could see that as a source of great joy.

01:05:25.280 You could say, I get to serve and love my husband and my children today.

01:05:28.760 And I am joyful about that fact.

01:05:31.620 You know what?

01:05:33.360 There are things that I bring into this house and I bring into this marriage that my husband doesn't.

01:05:37.580 And I am so glad that I'm able to do that for them.

01:05:41.920 You could have that attitude.

01:05:44.560 Instead, you choose to be irritated and disgruntled all the time.

01:05:49.160 Paige could choose to see her husband as the man who risks his life to provide for his family.

01:05:53.580 Instead, she chooses to see him as the dummy who forgot to unload the dishwasher. 0.96

01:05:58.420 She chooses misery. 0.98

01:06:00.420 And so she gets it.

01:06:02.300 And sadly, so does her family.

01:06:04.800 And that is why she is today with a vengeance.

01:06:08.520 Canceled.

01:06:09.860 That'll do it for the show today and this week.

01:06:11.980 Talk to you on Monday.

01:06:13.220 Have a great weekend.

01:06:14.120 Godspeed.

01:06:14.440 Godspeed.

01:06:14.500 Godspeed.
