The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 874 - Canada Officially Criminalizes Biology

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Canada has just effectively criminalized biblical sexual morality

00:00:05.160 and biological science. They call it a ban on conversion therapy. We have laws like this in 0.81

00:00:11.200 the United States as well, but they're not what they first appear. So we'll look at that today.

00:00:15.420 Also, we'll discuss the jihadist who took hostages at a synagogue in Texas, but the FBI,

00:00:21.120 Biden, and the media are pretending to be puzzled about his motives. I mean,

00:00:24.380 why could he have possibly done this? And if Glenn Youngkin's first day as governor is any

00:00:28.260 indication, then he's going to have a brilliant tenure. We'll talk about what he did on his first

00:00:32.380 day. And what is an after-school Satan club exactly? We'll find out today, unfortunately,

00:00:39.220 and much more on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:36.040 on so-called conversion therapy. Our neighbors to the north now join several other countries like 0.88

00:02:42.040 Germany and Brazil and up to, I think, 20 U.S. states now in banning the alleged practice. Though

00:02:49.560 the Canadian law ups the ante considerably. Under the statute, as the New York Times reports, it is a

00:02:55.660 crime to, quote, provide or promote services intended to change or repress a person's sexual orientation

00:03:02.520 or gender expression. And violators who are found guilty of engaging in this illicit activity will be

00:03:09.720 subject to five years in prison. And those who merely don't even engage in it but promote it

00:03:14.520 are looking at two years behind bars. Now, this immediately raises a question that most corporate

00:03:20.380 media articles on the subject have not really bothered to answer. But a pretty obvious question,

00:03:25.480 which is, what is it? What are we talking about? What specifically is conversion therapy? We've all heard

00:03:32.260 the phrase before, but what is it? Now, left-wing propaganda about the practice, which often uses

00:03:38.220 words like barbaric and violent and brutal to describe it, brings to mind images of homosexuals, 1.00

00:03:45.520 you know, committed against their will to insane asylums in straight jackets, maybe strapped to gurneys 0.99

00:03:51.480 and given electric shocks until they change their mind about their sexual orientation. But that sort of

00:03:57.100 thing isn't happening in the modern Western world. So what then do these conversion therapy prohibitions

00:04:03.360 actually prohibit? Well, for that answer, we should probably turn to the legislation itself. I think it's

00:04:08.860 probably the best place to go. Bill C-4, which begins by telling us that, quote, conversion therapy causes 0.66

00:04:16.120 harm to society because, among other things, it is based on and propagates myths and stereotypes about sexual

00:04:22.760 orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, including the myth that heterosexuality, cisgender,

00:04:29.860 gender identity, and gender expression that conform to the sex assigned to a person at birth are to be

00:04:34.640 preferred over other sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. Now, in one fell swoop

00:04:41.920 here, sexual morality, as it is understood by billions of people across the world and throughout history,

00:04:49.120 and has been taught by every major world religion for thousands of years, has been legally consigned to

00:04:56.000 the status of myth. And the belief that it's better for a person to accept their biological identity

00:05:03.840 than to try and reject it in favor of an identity that they can never truly obtain, a belief shared by

00:05:10.700 nearly every human being who has ever walked the earth, joins biblical sexual morality under the fairy tale 0.60

00:05:17.860 umbrella, because that's a myth too. But we still don't know what exactly conversion therapy is, right?

00:05:25.120 Now, fortunately, there's a section of the bill which purports to offer a definition. In fact, it says

00:05:30.160 definition of conversion therapy. Okay, that's good. Now, here's what it says. Conversion therapy means a

00:05:36.760 practice, treatment, or service designed to, A, change a person's sexual orientation to heterosexual,

00:05:43.720 change a person's gender identity to cisgender, C, change a person's gender expression so that it 0.73

00:05:50.620 conforms to the sex assigned to the person at birth, D, repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or

00:05:56.860 sexual behavior, E, repress a person's non-cisgender gender identity, or F, repress or reduce a person's

00:06:04.500 gender expression that does not conform to the sex assigned to the person at birth. And then it continues 0.93

00:06:08.860 and says, for greater certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment, or service that relates

00:06:13.820 to the exploration or development of an integrated personal identity, such as a practice, treatment, or

00:06:19.160 service that relates to a person's gender transition, and that is not based on an assumption that a particular

00:06:23.600 sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression is to be preferred over another. Now, the wording here is

00:06:31.240 still quite vague by design. I mean, this is intentional. But it's clear that conversion therapy

00:06:38.100 certainly need not involve straight jackets or electric shocks. So we're way beyond that. Any

00:06:45.540 practice, treatment, or service. You think about the word practice. What is a practice? It's just a thing that

00:06:53.500 you do. So just anything at all which seeks to, in any way, quote, change or repress a person's, quote,

00:07:01.920 non-cisgender identity or non-heterosexual attraction is conversion therapy and could land you in prison for

00:07:08.280 half a decade. Now, under this definition, there is no conversion taking place when a young boy is, say,

00:07:18.380 chemically castrated in order to make him look more like a girl, or when a young girl is given a double

00:07:24.580 mastectomy in order to make her look more like a boy. You know, that's not conversion. Rather, it is

00:07:30.240 conversion if they are convinced not to be butchered in this way. If you convince them not to do this,

00:07:38.860 if you convince a girl not to go have her breasts chopped off, then you are guilty of conversion 0.98

00:07:45.120 therapy for convincing her to keep the body she was born with. By encouraging a boy to accept the

00:07:55.220 fact that he is a boy or encouraging a girl to accept the fact that she's a girl, you are engaging

00:07:59.620 in conversion therapy under this law. It is conversion therapy to explain to a male that he is male

00:08:07.060 and to help him embrace his natural identity. If you simply said to a boy, well, you're a biological

00:08:14.620 male, that means you're a boy. That's conversion therapy, according to this. Now, does that mean

00:08:20.700 that any counselor, therapist, teacher, pastor, or even parent who refuses to encourage a child's gender

00:08:28.020 delusion is guilty of violating this law and could end up behind bars for five years? Yeah, that's

00:08:35.120 explicitly what it means. Does it mean that any priest or minister who stands at the pulpit on Sunday

00:08:41.180 and preaches about sexual morality, not a lot of them doing that in Canada or in the United States,

00:08:46.020 but if they do it or even read a passage from the Bible like Romans 126-27, one of the many

00:08:56.080 biblical passages which condemns the Homosexual Act, does that mean that anyone who does that is now

00:09:01.080 a conversion therapist and liable to a lengthy prison sentence? Yeah, again, that's very clearly what

00:09:07.280 it means. Once again, the prohibition includes any practice, treatment, or service, wording that

00:09:15.140 encompasses literally anything that anyone in any position might do or say to contradict the radical

00:09:21.600 left's harebrained theories about sex and gender. Now, there is ambiguity here. Tyrants love legal

00:09:28.940 ambiguity because it gives them free reign to do essentially whatever they want, you know, but there's

00:09:33.740 no subtlety. So notice how the bill specifically forbids the repression of non-cisgender and non-heterosexual

00:09:43.040 identities, but does not forbid repression the other way. So it is expressly not a crime to impose

00:09:51.620 transgenderism on a child or homosexuality on a child. It's only a crime in the reverse, and the law is 0.89

00:09:59.660 written that way. That's the way the law is written. You cannot, as it says, change a person's gender

00:10:06.580 identity to cisgender, but there's nothing forbidding you from changing it to trans. It would have been 0.56

00:10:13.020 easier, clearer, and less wordy to prohibit all attempts to change or repress a person's sexuality

00:10:19.000 or gender, but the bill very conspicuously does not do that. I mean, why doesn't it just say it's a

00:10:25.260 crime to change a person's gender identity? Period. No, they specified which direction you're not

00:10:33.780 allowed to change it in. That's because the demented leftist despots and child predators who are behind 0.99

00:10:41.740 these anti-conversion therapy laws, they don't actually have a problem with sexual coercion or 0.99

00:10:48.100 manipulation. They have a problem with heterosexuality and biological science, and that's 0.97

00:10:55.580 what this is really about. And they also, of course, have a problem with religion, and this is an effort

00:11:01.900 to criminalize religion. I mean, this is, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is a

00:11:06.900 criminalization of every, of all the Abrahamic religions, because one of the most crucial aspects 0.97

00:11:18.400 of their moral teachings are verboten now, legally so. In fact, if the term conversion therapy means

00:11:28.380 anything at all, the only sort of conversion therapy that happens in the Western world is the sort that

00:11:34.740 converts people away from heterosexuality and biological sex, not into it. I mean, only an idiot 1.00

00:11:42.700 or a partisan could look at surveys showing that 40% of Generation Z identify as LGBT and conclude that 1.00

00:11:50.120 this is some sort of natural evolution. 40%? We're talking 300, 400, 500% increase in a couple of years?

00:11:59.940 Now, we can be sure that if this was, if there was a pronounced drop in LGBT identities, if the

00:12:07.880 LGBT community's community, if the ranks of the LGBT community were to shrink over the course of a few

00:12:14.360 years, rather than have this astronomic rise, the left would conclude without hesitation that there must

00:12:20.060 be a conspiracy of repression and eradication at work here. And that is exactly what's happening,

00:12:26.700 but going the other way. There has been a many-fold increase in non-straight, non-biological

00:12:33.440 identities, a jump unlike anything the world has ever seen, period. And there's nothing accidental

00:12:39.100 about it. The LGBT lobby is, as I've been saying for years, running the most successful recruitment

00:12:45.140 drive in American history. And it's pretty easy for it to be successful because they have the media,

00:12:49.660 the school system, corporate America, and the government on their side. You know, it's easy to win

00:12:53.340 converts when you have all of the most powerful institutions in the world working with you.

00:12:58.640 And especially when your target audience are children who don't know any better.

00:13:04.400 Good example of this. A video went viral over the weekend showing one conversion therapy victim

00:13:09.100 kind of go off script unexpectedly. The child's mother put him in front of a camera for a TikTok video,

00:13:16.120 for a TikTok live, you know, answering questions. And the idea was he was supposed to deliver LGBT

00:13:20.680 talking points, the ones he'd been assigned, because that's all that this child is to this

00:13:25.340 mother. He's just a vessel, um, for, for LGBT propaganda. But you know, kids say the darndest 1.00

00:13:32.480 things sometimes. So here's how that went. White people that aren't like serial killers, 0.78

00:13:37.980 like Ted Budden. Does your mom say you have to be LGBT? Um, no, I can, she's what I want to be, 0.98

00:13:43.980 but some, but my mom doesn't matter if I'm up, if I am gay or a lesbian or any of that. She doesn't 0.88

00:13:56.440 care. All she cares about is that I'm a part of it. And if I'm not a part of it, she'll try to

00:14:02.680 convince me to join it. Cause I, what are you saying right now? Facts that I would convince you

00:14:10.000 to join what? The LGBT QIA plus. Now, if the child in that video had said that his mother was

00:14:16.180 trying to convince him to be straight, you know, the police would have barreled through her door 0.99

00:14:21.600 and carted her away in handcuffs by now. Instead, he reveals that he's being psychologically conditioned

00:14:28.220 to be some version of gay and his abuser will pay no price for it. There'll be no penalty, 0.97

00:14:33.620 no punishment. This is the approved form of conversion therapy in America. 0.82

00:14:40.000 And in the Western world, millions of children fall victim to it. It's the only kind of conversion 1.00

00:14:47.620 therapy that's allowed. And the only kind that exists. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:01.200 Well, um, uh, as you can see, I'm not in the studio again due to global warming. We had yet

00:15:05.120 another snowstorm here in Tennessee, multiple snowstorms in Tennessee in a span of a month. And,

00:15:09.680 um, that, that, uh, that does prove global warming, you know, that's, that's proof of

00:15:13.200 global warming. Um, actually, no, I'm sorry. It's a, it proves climate change, right? It proves that

00:15:19.080 climate change exists because it proves that climates change the climate changes, which,

00:15:24.260 uh, if you had any doubt about whether the climate changes, then, uh, then exhibit A is,

00:15:29.400 is right outside my window. The great thing about the climate change idea is that, is that literally

00:15:33.680 anything that happens is evidence for it. So it's the most unfalsifiable theory of all time.

00:15:40.540 Cold? Climate change. Is it hot outside? Climate change. Rain? Climate change. Wind? Climate change.

00:15:47.160 Tornadoes? Climate change. Hurricane? Climate change. Is it mild and calm? Well, climate change.

00:15:51.820 Volcanic eruption? Climate change. Stubbed your toe? Climate change. Racism? Climate change.

00:15:55.720 Um, climate change. I think at this point could be defined as, you know, cause I'm, you know,

00:16:01.000 I'm a fan of definitions and I think that you need to know what they are in order to have any kind of

00:16:06.040 coherent conversation about anything. So what's the definition of climate change? Well, climate change

00:16:10.060 could be defined as that which occurs. That's climate change. All things that occur are climate

00:16:16.000 change. And it's brilliant because if you're going to have a doomsday cult, which is what

00:16:21.040 environmentalism is, the lesson that other doomsday cults have learned is that you have to be very

00:16:26.240 vague about your predictions and your claims because environmentalists for decades made the

00:16:31.120 same mistakes that other cults made around the same timeframe, um, where they would make these

00:16:35.760 specific predictions about the stuff that would happen in the future. And then the future came and

00:16:39.400 none of that stuff was happening. So, you know, as we know, we're all supposed to be frozen to death

00:16:43.820 by now, boiled alive, drowned, melted by acid rain. All the trees are supposed to be gone.

00:16:49.500 And there's supposed to be no ozone layer left anymore, but none of that happened.

00:16:54.660 Um, it was like, it's like the guy who's, who's like a guy that several years ago, Harold Camping,

00:16:59.100 right? He was the doomsday prophet. And he said, he said the rapture was going to happen. And, um,

00:17:03.860 somehow he convinced a large number of people and he gave a specific date. He said on this day,

00:17:08.380 it's going to happen. And people gave away their stuff and their homes and everything. And they were

00:17:12.140 waiting for it. And then, uh, the rapture came and it was, it was just another day. It was like another

00:17:17.580 Tuesday. It was not what anyone expected the rapture to be. So then Camping said,

00:17:22.520 I think what he should have said actually is, um, well, you know what? The rapture came,

00:17:26.720 but, uh, we're all a bunch of scumbags. And so no one was chosen. It turns out a little bit, 0.99

00:17:31.620 a little bit anticlimactic, but instead he said, Oh, it was a spiritual rapture. You see,

00:17:35.160 it happened invisibly. You would need to have a special, um, special glasses, you know, that you can buy,

00:17:40.500 you could buy for, uh, for 10 payments of 99, 99. And, but that's the only way you can see the

00:17:47.200 spiritual rapture. Um, that that's it. And maybe the, maybe the, maybe the, uh, climate change

00:17:53.500 proponents should do something similar. They should say, well, you know, we never, we never got acid

00:17:57.280 rain, but there's a spiritual acid rain, the acid rain in our hearts. They could do that, but instead

00:18:05.780 they've gone another direction and they've just, they've, they've decided that, um, well, we, we

00:18:12.380 predict that in the future, uh, climate events will occur. And then the future comes and events

00:18:21.740 are happening in the climate. And they're saying, see, we told you brilliant strategy. I mean,

00:18:27.500 it's a brilliant strategy. If you're trying to fool a bunch of morons, which unfortunately there 1.00

00:18:31.420 are a lot of them out there. And, uh, so that's how it worked out. Okay. 1.00

00:18:34.380 Okay. Let's see here. This is from the AP. It says a man held hostages for more than 10

00:18:39.400 hours Saturday at a, at a Texas synagogue where he could be heard ranting in a live

00:18:43.220 stream and demanding the release of a Pakistani neuroscientist who was convicted of trying

00:18:46.700 to kill us army officers in Afghanistan. One of the four hostages held at a congregation

00:18:50.540 Beth Israel in Colleyville was released during the standoff. Three others were rescued when

00:18:54.420 authorities entered the building around 9 PM. Uh, the hostage taker was killed and FBI

00:18:57.880 special agent in charge, Matt DeSarno said a team would investigate the shooting

00:19:01.120 incident. Law enforcement officials who were not authorized to discuss the

00:19:04.380 ongoing investigations book, the AP on the condition of anonymity, uh, said that the

00:19:07.760 hostage taker demanded the release of, um, Afia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist suspected

00:19:13.140 of having ties to Al Qaeda. Now the name of the terrorist in this case is Malik

00:19:18.300 Faisal Akram. And, uh, usually we don't like to show you, you know, these terrorists and

00:19:23.820 everything and what they look like. And we don't want to put their, their names and faces

00:19:27.040 all over the place. But I do want to show you in this case, what he looks like, because

00:19:30.060 it's important context. Here's what he looks like. And you have to see that because funny

00:19:35.680 enough, all of the corporate media outlets have been describing him for, for days now

00:19:41.920 as, um, simply a British man. That's what they're, that's how they, that's the description

00:19:47.160 they decided to go with a British man. That's all we need to know about it. He's from Britain.

00:19:52.340 In fact, early on, uh, I forget which outlet it was, but one of them actually described him

00:19:56.640 as a man with a British accent. And that's how they decided to describe it. Now, if he

00:20:01.580 had, um, you know, if he had a Middle Eastern accent, an accent to reflect his, his, uh, ethnic

00:20:06.940 background, do you think anyone, any headline would describe him that way? Man with a Middle

00:20:12.560 Eastern accent takes hostages. Not going to happen. Now we were also told, even though

00:20:18.080 he actually said what his motives were. So we know that this is an Islamic radical. Um,

00:20:25.340 he's taking hostages on behalf of a, of a, of another terrorist. And this is one of the,

00:20:30.820 there are times when motives are unclear, right? The Las Vegas shooting, um, hundreds of people

00:20:38.140 shot. We still haven't been told his motive because as far as we, as we know, he never

00:20:44.840 said anything to anybody about it. So the motive is very unclear. Now, many of us have been asking

00:20:50.760 for years now, Hey, what was that all about? Remember that guy that shot all those people in

00:20:53.880 Las Vegas? Why did that happen? But the FBI and, uh, law enforcement officials, they claim

00:20:59.580 that, Oh, you know, who knows? Man, it just happened. So there are, there are times when

00:21:04.720 the motive is unclear. There are times when it seems like the powers that be don't want,

00:21:08.560 don't want us to know the motive. But this is a case where he actually said what his motive

00:21:13.700 was, which is pretty common for hostage takers. There's what, whatever they have, they have

00:21:20.280 a reason why they're doing it. They're trying to accomplish something. It's why they're taking

00:21:23.160 hostages. And, um, usually they'll tell you what they want. And he did. And, and yet in

00:21:30.380 the hours after that, um, FBI, an FBI spokesman got in front of cameras and said, uh, well, you

00:21:35.380 know, we, we, we still don't know what, what this was about, but, but he was not targeting

00:21:38.860 the Jewish community is what we were told. Listen, uh, we, we, we do believe from our engagement

00:21:43.940 with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue. Uh, and it was not specifically

00:21:48.800 related to the Jewish community, uh, but we're continuing to work to find motive and we will

00:21:54.400 continue on that path. So the FBI is confused and Joe Biden the next day was asked about this

00:22:01.360 and, uh, he was also just confounded. I mean, he had no idea why this happened. Listen to Biden.

00:22:06.780 Do you know why he targeted that specific synagogue? Well, no, I don't. We, we don't have, I don't

00:22:14.080 think there is sufficient information to know about, uh, why he targeted that synagogue, why

00:22:22.760 he insisted on the release of someone who's been in prison for over, uh, 10 years, why

00:22:28.060 he was engaged, why he was, uh, using anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli comments. Uh, I, I, we, we

00:22:35.020 just don't have enough facts. So let's see. Um, so we got a Muslim guy, sister's a convicted

00:22:42.860 terrorist, takes hostage at a synagogue, takes hostages at a synagogue in Texas on a Saturday.

00:22:49.920 Um, the Sabbath and, uh, Ed, but now this wasn't targeting Jews had nothing. That's just coincidence.

00:22:59.320 Could have been anywhere, right? He could have chosen any location just happens to choose a

00:23:04.000 synagogue in Texas because, you know, those are a dime a dozen in Texas. So if you're just walking

00:23:08.800 down a street, randomly looking for a place to take hostages in, uh, you, you might, chances are

00:23:14.880 you're going to stumble across a synagogue. That's what we're supposed to believe. Of course, it's 0.99

00:23:18.680 totally absurd. And, um, a day after this, the FBI put another statement out and now they're saying

00:23:26.020 this is a terrorism related matter in which the Jewish community was targeted and is being

00:23:30.780 investigated by the joint terrorism task force. So the FBI tried to say, ah, this was not anti-Jewish.

00:23:37.560 This was not, you know, let's not, let's not jump to any conclusions. Very quickly, they changed

00:23:43.000 their, they completely reversed course without any explanation. And the reason is they're just

00:23:46.880 being roundly mocked and ridiculed and criticized for it. And so that's why they decided to change.

00:23:50.940 That's what we get from the FBI. Um, meanwhile, of course, whenever something like this happens

00:23:58.060 and you have a member of an approved victim group who does something terrible, um, we're told

00:24:06.960 immediately that the number one concern, the number one priority is to make sure that other members of

00:24:12.400 that group are not, um, blamed for it or not made to feel uncomfortable. That's the number one priority

00:24:19.120 after all this happens. Before we've, if, if people are killed before we even put the bodies in the

00:24:23.720 ground, number one priority is to protect the feelings of the other members of that approved victim

00:24:27.540 group. So the daily beast columnist, Wajahat Ali, um, hours later, here's what he tweeted about.

00:24:33.380 This is what he was thinking immediately after he said, you're about to hear some ugly and vicious

00:24:37.220 Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bigotry this weekend from elected officials, commentators,

00:24:42.100 and even mainstream media. Hope I'm wrong. People will use it to divide Jewish and Muslim communities 1.00

00:24:47.060 for their political agenda. Don't fall for it. Um, many of them, yeah, because, right. Because it's the

00:24:55.200 fault of, um, conservative commentators that there's division in the Muslim and Jewish community,

00:25:00.720 right? I mean, historically, it's really, it's really all the fault of, uh, of, uh, of

00:25:06.800 conservative bloggers and radio hosts. Um, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't for us. There'd be

00:25:15.240 nothing but peace and harmony among the, uh, Jewish and, uh, Muslim population globally. He continues,

00:25:21.600 many of them will claim to care about Jewish lives as they openly support and parrot vile 1.00

00:25:25.520 anti-Semitic conspiracies. They don't care about our lives or our communities. Muslim is easy 1.00

00:25:30.720 synonym for terrorists. And those who downplayed January 6th will now talk a lot about national 0.98

00:25:36.080 security. So take a drink. If you're playing the January 6th drinking game, um, maybe that'll be your

00:25:41.160 first drink of the day. Probably not. You're probably already stupefied drunk, but, uh, of course we had

00:25:46.380 the mention of January 6th in there. So what, what we know with the left is that the only thing that

00:25:51.880 matters is, um, the victim narrative, of course, and they have their victim hierarchy and this kind

00:25:58.000 of equation, complicated equation. Well, oftentimes it's, it's pretty simple. You know, um, the, the

00:26:04.380 victim narrative and the, and the equation is simple, but there are times when it becomes a little

00:26:07.260 bit more complicated for them. And that's where they start kind of stepping on their own feet and

00:26:11.080 tripping and stumbling a lot. And, um, that's what we, that's what we have here. And I think in

00:26:16.360 general for the left, for the left's victim narrative, they have a lot of trouble with the

00:26:24.440 Jewish community. They're not, they're, they're, they're not quite sure what to do there because 1.00

00:26:30.300 obviously with the Jews, we're talking about a minority, um, and historically oppressed minority,

00:26:37.980 clearly. Uh, but if we're going based on skin pigmentation, especially in the United States,

00:26:44.700 you know, they're white, they look, they look just like any other white person walking down the street.

00:26:49.280 And so that means that they, they, they can't really be included in the victim narrative.

00:26:55.160 You know, they, they, they don't fall into the victim equation. And then when you look at

00:27:01.280 conflicts overseas in the middle East, well, that's where it becomes more simple for them.

00:27:06.380 Whoever has darker skin is the, is the victim. And, um, and the victim is right. You know, 1.00

00:27:13.440 the victim group is always right in any conflict. Um, and that's why they just can't, they, they,

00:27:20.660 they cannot admit, um, they can't go outside of the victim narrative.

00:27:26.040 And when anything happens, this is always the first concern. So if there's a Muslim terrorist 0.96

00:27:33.420 attack, first concern is making sure that nobody says any mean things to Muslims because of it. 0.99

00:27:41.420 When China unleashes a deadly virus on the world and kills 5 million people, 0.99

00:27:46.680 what's the first concern there? It's not to hold China accountable. That's for sure. 0.67

00:27:50.360 It's just to make sure there's no anti-Asian sentiment. That's the biggest problem.

00:27:57.120 Totally twisted and demented. All right, let's go to the daily wire. This is from, uh, well,

00:28:01.740 it's from the daily wire, as I said, new Virginia Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin signed 11

00:28:05.860 executive orders and directives on his first day in office after being sworn in over the weekend.

00:28:10.000 Uh, he says, quote, no matter who you voted for, I pledge to be your advocate, your voice,

00:28:14.320 your governor. We stand here on January 15th, 2022 filled with hope and optimism for the years

00:28:19.480 ahead. This hope and optimism springs from a shared vision for the future. And also from knowing what

00:28:24.780 we have been through. Uh, and then that's not the most important part. Of course, you know,

00:28:29.700 we got to get the political speech and all that about a shared vision, but, but in reality that

00:28:33.820 we don't have any shared vision in this country for where we're going or where we've been or what

00:28:38.840 kind of country we want to be. There's no shared vision at all, but you know, obviously politicians

00:28:42.520 speak this way. I'm more concerned about what he's actually doing. So here's what he actually did.

00:28:46.700 The governor's office released the following list of executive, executive actions that he signed

00:28:51.840 on the very first day. Um, so let's go through them. Executive order number one delivers on his

00:28:56.860 day one promise to restore excellence in education by ending the use of divisive concepts, including

00:29:01.000 critical race theory and public education. So we've got a critical race theory ban on the first day

00:29:04.840 executive order number two. That's his, and that's his first executive order on the first day.

00:29:09.340 Executive order number two delivers on his day one promise to empower Virginia parents in their,

00:29:13.100 in their children's education upbringing by allowing parents to make decisions on whether their

00:29:16.580 child wears a mask in school. So next thing he's doing is abolishing the mask mandates in school.

00:29:21.960 Executive order number three delivers on his day one promise to restore integrity and confidence in

00:29:25.300 the parole board of the Commonwealth of Virginia, addressing law and order. Executive number four

00:29:29.260 delivers on his day one promise to investigate wrongdoing in Loudoun County, the coverup of the

00:29:34.000 horrific rape of multiple girls around Loudoun County. Executive order number five delivers on his day

00:29:38.960 one promise to make government work for Virginians by creating the Commonwealth Chief

00:29:42.720 Transformation Officer. I'm not exactly sure what that means. Executive order number six delivers on

00:29:46.860 his day one promise to declare Virginia open for business. Uh, then number seven delivers a promise

00:29:52.260 to combat and prevent human trafficking. Number eight, uh, establishes a commission to combat

00:29:58.400 antisemitism. Number nine delivers on his day one promise to withdraw from the regional greenhouse gas

00:30:04.380 initiative. Um, and, uh, let's see what else we have promise to jumpstart our economy by cutting job,

00:30:12.280 killing regulations by 25%. And then a day one promise. This is his number. His last one was,

00:30:17.640 uh, to restore individual freedoms and personal privacy by rescinding the vaccine mandate for all

00:30:21.820 state employees. Okay. And apparently this is, I guess this is included in one of the executive orders,

00:30:26.720 but I saw some leftists on Twitter complaining that, um, that he also got rid of on this, on the state's

00:30:34.440 official website. There's no page now for, uh, diversity, the diversity and inclusion office.

00:30:41.460 So he got rid of the page, he got rid of the office, hopefully both. And they're very upset about

00:30:45.000 that. And that's great too. Um, this is, it's only one day, but this is a, shall we say a very good

00:30:53.100 start? And this is exactly what Republicans should be doing. You don't try to ease your way into it.

00:30:59.100 You're not going to be gradual about it. No, you come in right away on offense,

00:31:05.380 using all the power you have at your disposal to, um, put the, this agenda into action.

00:31:15.720 An agenda, which is focused on basic sanity, uh, parental rights, you know, that sort of thing.

00:31:28.080 You use all the power that you have to do it right away without waiting, going on offense.

00:31:37.160 Um, hopefully a lesson to other Republicans. And I'll tell you this, and I, I would, I would not have

00:31:43.900 said this even prior to his first day. I mean, I was happy that he was elected obviously,

00:31:49.700 but, uh, what I'll say now is if, if he continues and can string together a bunch of days like this

00:31:56.380 one, then, uh, I think he's a potentially formidable candidate 2024. We'll see Ralph Northam. He's the

00:32:03.880 guy on the way out in Virginia. And, uh, he did an interview over the weekend reflecting on his time

00:32:08.580 in office and especially on the most interesting event from that time. Listen to this. Well, that

00:32:13.800 was a very, very difficult time for Virginia. And there was a lot of hurt, uh, because of that. And

00:32:20.160 for that, I, I regret, uh, putting Virginia through that. I, I also, Jonathan saw it as an opportunity

00:32:26.440 for me to listen to people. I committed myself and our cabinet secretaries to, to really deal with

00:32:34.480 the inequities that exist and, and to listen, to learn. And as I've said, that the more I know,

00:32:40.940 the more I can do. And we've really been able to turn a lot of what we learned, uh, into action,

00:32:46.320 uh, in a lot of different areas. And so, you know, at the end of the day, uh, it was a hurtful time.

00:32:51.760 I am glad that Virginians stuck with me. I can tell you that I'm a better person. Uh, I certainly

00:32:58.000 understand, uh, racial issues much better than I did prior to that, uh, episode. And I, and I

00:33:04.340 really think Virginia, more importantly, is, is a better Commonwealth, uh, a Commonwealth that is

00:33:09.860 more open, more inclusive. Oh, you see, it was, uh, it was really, it was a good thing for everybody.

00:33:16.040 Virginia, Virginia is a better Commonwealth now because their governor wore blackface and he, 1.00

00:33:22.320 he learned an important lesson about not wearing blackface. And, uh, this has been, this has really

00:33:26.420 been, he said, it's not just about me. It's a learning, it's been a learning curve for everybody.

00:33:30.380 You know, nobody knew that you weren't supposed to wear blackface. We all learned it together. 0.99

00:33:35.920 No, Ralph, uh, really it was just you could not be happier. I mean, it's, it's hard to deserve,

00:33:45.080 hard to deserve this, this fate more than, more than he does to, to leave finally in disgrace.

00:33:49.860 Um, and this is somebody with, with no political future at all. And that's a very good thing.

00:33:56.320 All right. This is from KY3 in Missouri. It says an Illinois school district released a statement

00:34:00.720 defending a controversial afterschool club after flyer sponsored by the satanic temple

00:34:05.680 surfaced at an elementary school within the district. The afterschool Satan club is set to

00:34:11.840 have its first meeting Thursday. The flyer found within the, uh, Moline Coal Valley school district

00:34:16.660 is advertised for first through fifth graders, regardless of religious background. It asks for

00:34:20.700 permission from parents or guardians or students to attend. Uh, the flyer says the, the, the club is set to

00:34:25.660 meet from 245 to 345 once a month. Dates are provided up until May. So this is a elementary

00:34:33.480 school with an afterschool Satan club. And maybe like you, when I first saw this story, I really

00:34:38.280 thought it was a joke. Um, uh, it was just one of those moments where I, my first initial reaction

00:34:43.900 was that's, Oh, that's a Babylon B thing. A little bit too on the nose, not one of their funnier

00:34:48.740 headlines. Uh, then you read it and no, it's, it's real. This is a very real thing. And the statement,

00:34:53.800 the, the district has put up this statement defending it. Here's what they say. The Moline

00:34:57.680 Coal Valley school district understands that there is a concern and confusion over an upcoming

00:35:01.300 afterschool club at Jane Adams elementary. The district would like to provide information

00:35:06.040 on the situation. The Moline Coal Valley school district and board of education have policies

00:35:10.020 and administrative procedures in place, which allow for community use of its public publicly

00:35:13.880 funded facilities outside the school day. The district does not discriminate against any

00:35:18.120 groups who wish to rent our facilities, including religious affiliated groups. Religiously 0.75

00:35:22.600 affiliated groups are among those allowed to rent our facilities for free. The district

00:35:26.680 has in the past approved these types of groups. One example being the good news club, which

00:35:30.260 is an afterschool child evangel evangelism fellowship group. Flyers and promotional materials for these

00:35:35.120 types of groups are approved for lobby postings or display only, and not for mass distribution.

00:35:40.420 Um, and then he talks to, it says, uh, this is about equal ask, equal access and all of that.

00:35:45.460 So they're drawing a direct comparison between a Christian evangelism group, you know, an afterschool,

00:35:52.220 Bible study type of thing and a Satan club. I think what we, there are, there are a few things we, 0.90

00:36:00.320 lessons we learned from this, a few takeaways we should say. One is, should be the most obvious,

00:36:07.240 get your kids the hell out of the public school system. Um, every day there's another story which

00:36:12.320 should emphasize that fact to you. But the other is this, um, even on the right, you know, you often hear

00:36:21.620 this clamoring for, uh, we need, um, uh, open dialogue in the school system, freedom of thought, you know,

00:36:30.340 that's what this is all about. And so when quote unquote conservative ideas are excluded or punished

00:36:40.040 or ostracized or marginalized, then, uh, then even people on the right will say, will say that, uh,

00:36:46.500 the real problem is that this is an attack on open dialogue and, uh, free speech and freedom of

00:36:52.540 expression and freedom of thought. But that's not really it, right? The, the focus of education,

00:37:00.600 the point of education, um, the, the foundation of it is truth. That's what matters. That's what you

00:37:11.040 need in the school system. That's what the education should be centered around is teaching children truth,

00:37:18.540 bringing them up in the truth, fortifying them in the truth. That's why the public school education

00:37:25.120 and the university, university system are both basically useless because they don't, not only do

00:37:28.680 they not care about the truth, but they're, they're openly hostile to it. But that's the point.

00:37:35.380 And when, for example, it's a verboten in the school system to talk about biological science as it

00:37:41.260 pertains to sex, the problem there is not that conservatives are being picked on or that,

00:37:48.340 again, this is an attack on open dialogue or whatever. No, it's, it's that the truth,

00:37:53.380 this is not a conservative idea. This isn't a political idea. The truth is being banished from

00:38:01.900 the school system. That's what matters because when you focus only is, ah, we just want open,

00:38:07.940 everything is free and open and open mindedness. Well, then the Satan club can come along and say,

00:38:13.340 Hey, what about us? You said we're, we're open, right? So why can't we have our Satan club in the 0.98

00:38:17.740 middle of the elementary school? Why can't we try to indoctrinate children into literal Satanism 1.00

00:38:24.580 on school grounds? Because you guys are talking about open dialogue and this is part of the open

00:38:30.140 dialogue. No, Satanism is an assault on truth, which is why it does not belong in the school system.

00:38:37.440 Anything that is true does. To me, it's as simple as that. Let's get now to the comment section.

00:38:54.280 So this is exciting. A little bit of a, of a change here. Uh, well not really change. We're just,

00:39:00.440 we're adding something to the comment section. We, um, now have a feature where if you want to be

00:39:05.960 featured in the, in the comment section, we will now take video comments so that you can have your

00:39:53.120 I appreciate Matt's show. He's a good, strong, ethical man. I thought we had lost this quality of

00:39:57.300 manhood. Good, strong, ethical women like, um, like men like Matt who exude ethics, morals,

00:40:02.440 and common sense. Well, I totally agree with your assessment of me. And, but the one thing you forgot

00:40:06.420 to mention, of course, is my humility. And I appreciate that. Aaron Levitt says, you're absolutely

00:40:10.940 right, Matt. College was oversold to me with the same heavenly promises it was to you. Yeah. It's sold

00:40:15.880 to everybody that way. And then on the flip side of it, you're also promised or rather threatened,

00:40:21.200 warned that if you don't go to college, that your life is going to be a failure. And at least in my

00:40:25.260 experience going to public school for 12 years, 13 years, if you count kindergarten, um, they,

00:40:31.180 they're, they're not subtle. I mean, they're, they're quite aggressive in, in, uh, in sending

00:40:35.000 that message. Mean Bean Comedy says, I like hearing how sweet Matt's wife is and how she helps to 0.93

00:40:44.240 balance him out. Like I said, I, it's, it's, it's a cliche. I think at least in my case, it's really,

00:40:51.260 it's really the case that, uh, opposites attract and we could not be more diametrically, uh, opposed.

00:40:59.880 Well, I guess that's a clear, it's actually an important clarification there, um, or, or

00:41:05.880 qualification anyway, which is that I think that personality wise, that's where that's the case.

00:41:14.200 I think probably to try, I can't imagine being married to someone who has the same personality

00:41:19.220 as me. The last thing I would want to do is be around. I have to live in my own body. I don't

00:41:25.060 want to be around another version of myself. That would be horrible. So that's where the opposites

00:41:29.280 come in, but it's important to be similar, if not the same, when it comes to your fundamental,

00:41:37.640 foundational values and principles, that's where it matters. Um, if you're, if you're an opposite, 0.65

00:41:43.400 if you're opposites as far as that goes, that's where you could really be in trouble in your

00:41:48.280 relationship. Um, DH says, Matt, you can do an at-home sleep study, which is very accurate

00:41:54.820 at diagnosing sleep apnea and other sleep related issues. And it's infinitely more comfortable

00:41:59.040 and convenient than the lab test that you described. I would highly recommend it. So

00:42:02.140 how does that work? Does my wife have to stay awake at night and just watch me sleep and take 1.00

00:42:06.160 notes? If that's the case, maybe I'll do it because forcing her to do that would be very

00:42:10.160 funny. Um, let's see. Amused me says, wow, Matt, I'm so disappointed by, I guess, I guess

00:42:19.540 it's to be expected. I'm an RN fired for not getting vaccinated. I signed your petition and

00:42:24.640 was, was all in with this fight. You could have at least mentioned that the mandate is

00:42:28.340 still in place for healthcare workers. Thanks to Kavanaugh and Roberts, but I guess you got

00:42:32.140 your victory. So to hell with the rest of us. Well, you know, I got to say, I'm, I'm,

00:42:36.240 I'll never understand an attitude like this. Uh, I'm sorry you were fired from your job.

00:42:41.460 That's horrible and wrong and tyrannical. Uh, and, uh, in, in, in infringement on your rights,

00:42:47.440 but you're mad that I talked about one thing and not another thing.

00:42:54.300 You know, we tend to focus on one thing at a time. So this is, it's a, it's a real common

00:43:00.320 criticism of people. You know, if you have a platform and you do a show, you, you, every day

00:43:05.560 you'll get this. Why'd you talk about this and not that over there, this, this subject over here

00:43:10.820 is way more important than that subject. It might be, but I can't talk about every subject on,

00:43:15.840 on every show. You see how that works. The fact that we got this win with private employers is

00:43:21.100 very, very important and it's worth focusing on. And, uh, you know what? Sometimes I, I think it's

00:43:27.960 good to just focus on the victory and even to revel in it a little bit when you have those moments

00:43:33.900 instead of always having to couch everything and saying, yeah, but you know what? It's also

00:43:37.900 a failure for this reason. All right. Elizabeth says, Matt has so many closing lines. Why not

00:43:45.360 add a few more? Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Love you. Have a great day. Enjoy

00:43:49.340 your meal. Godspeed. May the road rise up to meet you. Remember the only thing worth fearing is fear

00:43:52.900 itself. Once a king or queen in Narnia, Narnia, always a king or queen in Narnia. Don't let the bed bugs

00:43:57.240 bite. I guess I do. I kind of take a Peter Jackson approach to endings. Uh, I can't have any qualms

00:44:04.300 with you there. And, uh, finally Walter says, dear Matt, I love your YouTube episodes, except when you

00:44:10.420 attack Trump heavy people and people that may not look like perfect tens for any reason. You're

00:44:15.700 excellent at what you do and please stay on point. Okay. First of all, um, attacking fat people and ugly

00:44:21.220 people is way more offensive than attacking Trump. So I wouldn't put those all together. Trump is a 0.98

00:44:25.680 politician. So he's always open to be attacked. And, um, we should always be eager to criticize

00:44:33.820 politicians of all stripes as Americans. That should, that should, uh, that should be one of

00:44:39.420 our fundamental values as Americans is a, is a, is a permanent skepticism towards politicians and an

00:44:45.980 eagerness to hold them accountable and criticize them when they deserve it. And even sometimes when they

00:44:49.560 don't, because it's fun, um, as far as, uh, but as far as overweight people, I don't attack fat people,

00:44:57.660 overweight people, you know, pointing out that obesity is harmful and will kill you and is nothing

00:45:04.140 to be celebrated. That's not an attack. And like so many other things on the show, I wouldn't be

00:45:08.860 talking about it. I wouldn't spend time talking about the fact that obesity is bad unless you had

00:45:15.700 a powerful voice on the other side saying, no, actually it's good. So I have to respond to that

00:45:21.740 in an ideal world, in a sane world, I wouldn't spend any time saying obesity is bad because

00:45:27.940 everybody wouldn't know it. There'd be no reason to say it. But when there's a concerted effort and

00:45:32.900 a campaign to get people to embrace obesity, thereby embracing their own physical destruction,

00:45:38.220 that is necessary to say, no, it's bad. As far as ugly people, you know, whatever I say about ugly

00:45:44.740 people is fine because I'm a member of the community. And those are the rules. You know, we're allowed

00:45:48.720 to defame each other if we're all in the community together. Very excited to announce the release of

00:45:56.500 the poster for our first original production, Shut In, which is a seat gripping thriller that'll be

00:46:00.920 available to stream in February. The film follows the story of a young mother who's barricaded inside 0.93

00:46:05.280 a closet by her violent ex-husband. As she's trapped inside, she uses nothing but her voice to guide her

00:46:10.280 children on the other side of the walls to safety, all while the threat of her dangerous

00:46:14.260 ex looms. We seriously cannot wait to share the finished product with you. So make sure you catch

00:46:18.620 the final trailer when it drops tomorrow. If you're planning on adding this terrifying thriller to your

00:46:22.660 queue and want us to keep making content to combat the over-politicized mainstream entertainment

00:46:27.060 that you get on the major streaming platforms, then go like and share the trailer on YouTube.

00:46:32.620 Your support makes all the difference. And it seems like it's been a while since we've done one of

00:46:37.440 these. But the Daily Wire was one of the first in the nation to file suit against the Biden

00:46:40.360 administration's tyrannical vaccine mandates. And our case made it to the Supreme Court,

00:46:43.920 who ultimately sided with us and blocked the mandates. Tomorrow night, we are going to have

00:46:49.640 a brand new episode of Backstage. It is back at last, where we discuss the outcome of the Supreme

00:46:54.460 Court ruling and so much more. Join me, Ben Shapiro, Jeremy Borden, Michael Knowles, and Andrew

00:46:57.720 Klavan tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central on dailywire.com and on our YouTube channel,

00:47:03.160 Daily Wire. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:07.440 Today, we cancel TikTok influencer Kay Not Bay, who has several hundred thousand followers on this

00:47:16.080 site and recently posted a video which has since gone viral across multiple platforms. In the video,

00:47:21.240 Ms. Kay Not Bay responds to a commentator, or a commenter rather, who was lamenting the state of

00:47:27.140 modern womanhood. And the commenter said, I honestly don't know what modern women bring to a 1.00

00:47:31.960 relationship. They don't want to work, clean, cook, or raise children, yet complain about everything.

00:47:35.860 Now, the comment, of course, does not apply to all modern women. It doesn't apply to my wife, 1.00

00:47:41.840 for example, but as a general statement, it's quite astute. Kay felt otherwise, though, and she

00:47:47.400 responded, and her response echoed, I think echoes a very common sentiment in our culture today,

00:47:52.180 which is why it's worth listening to and engaging with. Let's listen.

00:47:55.740 We're not bringing nothing to relationships. For centuries, decades, we've seen our grandmothers,

00:48:03.780 our mothers, our great aunts get everything and get nothing. So for the first time in history,

00:48:11.060 we're saying no. You don't get a free incubator. You don't get a free maid. You don't get a free

00:48:16.660 chef. We're saying no, and y'all losing y'all f***ing minds. No, ma'am. And then y'all calling me a 0.98

00:48:23.400 feminist. If you know me, you know, like, I still want Susan B. Anthony here, so that's not even a 1.00

00:48:28.660 thing. Y'all just need a label to put on somebody who's telling y'all no. We said step y'all f***ing

00:48:33.040 up and y'all make podcasts. That don't seem weird to you. All right, a few points here. First of all,

00:48:38.120 what is this we stuff, right? Even if I agreed that, you know, if I, even if I agreed with the

00:48:44.700 proposition that women in history were universally oppressed, and as you say, they gave everything

00:48:51.380 and got nothing, um, which I don't agree with that, but if I did, what the hell does that have

00:48:56.280 to do with you? You know, if it was the case, if that was the case in the past, it wasn't, but if it

00:49:02.080 was, it certainly isn't true today. So you have like 300,000 followers on, on TikTok, despite the

00:49:09.140 fact that you've never said anything interesting in your life. So you give nothing and get everything.

00:49:14.360 Those are your circumstances and the circumstances of so many others in modern culture. When it comes to

00:49:20.240 the conversation about alleged historical oppression, sometimes those of us on the rational side of

00:49:25.840 the debate, we get so caught up in trying to debunk the historical claim or frame it correctly or lend 0.77

00:49:31.900 it context or whatever, that we forget to mention just how absolutely ridiculous it is for a privileged 0.95

00:49:38.000 whiny brat, luxuriating in the comforts of 21st century Western culture, to try to exploit historical 0.98

00:49:44.640 suffering that she didn't experience. So she approaches this with a sort of, uh, we're tired 0.97

00:49:50.800 of being treated this way and, uh, and we're not going to take it anymore. But what the hell are you 0.55

00:49:55.340 tired of? Nothing happened to you. You were born into a country where women have all the same legal 1.00

00:50:01.400 rights as men. In fact, have more legal rights than men. So please stop acting exhausted by traumas that

00:50:07.600 you never suffered as if you inherited them in your bloodstream or something. That's not how suffering

00:50:12.640 works. But what about the claim that, um, that women of the past gave everything and got nothing?

00:50:19.200 Well, that would be true if a roof over your head and food on the table and clothes on your back and

00:50:26.920 everything else you need to survive and thrive and be comfortable. If all of that amounts to nothing,

00:50:31.340 then sure. I mean, if everything is nothing, then it's true that women got nothing. But then again, 0.99

00:50:36.940 it's also true that they gave nothing because, uh, everything is nothing and nothing is anything.

00:50:42.580 Now I'm kind of confused, but if words mean something, however, it would be more true to say

00:50:47.960 that women in the past gave one thing, you know, they, they had something that they gave

00:50:53.480 and men gave something else. And that's how they structured their societies. They each gave,

00:51:00.140 they each contributed in different ways, right? Of course, we're just pretending here that women 1.00

00:51:06.220 started working outside of the house 30 years ago or something, which isn't true.

00:51:10.080 That's obviously not the case. Even back in the middle ages, many guilds had women members, 0.99

00:51:14.700 for example. But that aside, the traditional gender roles she talks about, um, were not at all

00:51:21.700 one-sided as they're so often caricatured today. They could not have been one-sided, right? Prior to the

00:51:29.020 industrial age, unless you were nobility or royalty or in the ruling class, you, you had to actually

00:51:35.520 survive on a daily basis and survival required effort, required work every day. If anyone in your

00:51:44.260 house gave nothing, everything would fall apart and everybody would probably die. That's why no one in

00:51:51.840 the house gives nothing unless, unless we're talking about infants, but even older children had to

00:51:56.400 contribute. They didn't have the luxury to experiment with sending women out into the forest to hunt 1.00

00:52:01.660 while the men stayed home to nurse the babies. Never occurred to them to do it. They didn't have 0.94

00:52:07.400 the luxury to do it. The person best fit for the job had to do it. And that's largely why the gender 1.00

00:52:15.220 roles historically, uh, worked out the way they did. Because men were simply best fit to do these kinds of 0.91

00:52:23.620 things. And you needed the person best fit to do it, to, to go out and do it so that you could

00:52:29.660 survive. Nobody was concerned with equity back then because equity is the kind of thing that people can

00:52:34.980 only concern themselves with when they have nothing else to worry about. Men and women contributed

00:52:39.740 differently, but they both contributed because there was no other option. Now today, survival does not

00:52:47.440 necessitate the same sort of constant and conscious effort. The welfare state has in fact made it

00:52:52.440 possible for people to survive without any effort at all. In some cases, aside from whatever minimal

00:52:56.540 exertions are necessary to walk from the couch to the refrigerator and then back to the couch again,

00:53:00.300 um, to grab another armful of food that, uh, you know, you didn't pay for. And even those of us who,

00:53:05.140 who work are still not fighting to survive the way that people in the past did. It's only in the midst of

00:53:11.240 this obscene affluence that almost all of us are experiencing that we can start tinkering with gender roles,

00:53:18.360 right? Instead of, of men doing one thing and women doing another. Now we say that men and women

00:53:23.180 should all do the same things and sex should not factor into how the work is delegated at all.

00:53:28.920 But it's hard to argue that this arrangement has been a smashing success as marriages are falling

00:53:33.040 apart at a rapid rate. The family unit itself is disintegrating. There's also hostility and resentment

00:53:39.720 between the sexes as evidenced by this woman's response and the comment she's responding to. 0.94

00:53:43.920 Somehow this, uh, this idea of, you know, we'll both do the same thing and contribute in exactly

00:53:49.340 the same way. And neither of us will have any pronounced roles at all. This strategy has not

00:53:54.380 brought about the results that we were promised. Shocking. And there are many reasons for that,

00:54:00.040 but let me focus on just one. This is not the whole case that I could make, but it's just,

00:54:03.780 just, just one element here. The fuel that keeps human relationships in general and marriages in

00:54:10.840 particular running smoothly is, is gratitude. Okay. That's the fuel. It would not be an exaggeration

00:54:18.680 to say that, that probably nearly every failed marriage or most of them, uh, or failed romantic

00:54:24.180 relationships of any kind fail because of a terminal lack of gratitude by one or both partners.

00:54:31.040 Usually both. Now, if you listen to two divorcees talk about each other, this is one of the first 0.99

00:54:38.020 things that will jump out at you is that, is that they are not grateful for the other's contributions

00:54:42.380 to the marriage. They don't recognize the contributions at all. And they both feel that

00:54:49.060 the other was not grateful for their contributions. This is like almost every divorced couple or former

00:54:55.920 couple that you come across. Even in cases where the primary cause of the divorce seems to be

00:55:00.760 something like infidelity, even then a lack of gratitude lies at the root of it because only a person who

00:55:06.320 lacks gratitude for their spouse would cheat on them in the first place. So what does this have

00:55:11.060 to do with the gender role question? Well, it's easier to be grateful for your spouse's contributions

00:55:17.080 if you know what those contributions are. Okay. If you know what their role is and it's easier to be

00:55:25.000 grateful for it instead of these days, both partners looking at each other, like what exactly do you do

00:55:30.920 here? Why do I need you? And crucially, if you recognize that they are bringing something unique

00:55:38.960 and essential to the table, that they're providing something to your household that you could not

00:55:43.860 provide yourself. If you have the attitude that there is no important difference between you and

00:55:49.520 your spouse and that you can do everything that they can do and probably do it better, then naturally

00:55:54.900 you're not going to be grateful for them. They are a redundancy at best, unnecessary baggage at worst.

00:56:02.420 And pretty soon you start seeing it the way our friend Kay sees it. You give everything, they give

00:56:08.680 nothing, and whatever little bit maybe they do give, you could give the same and do a better job of it

00:56:14.540 than they do. That's why people like Kay will never have a successful relationship or marriage or even

00:56:21.300 friendship for that matter. Because a woman like her declares that she is perfect, that she don't need 1.00

00:56:27.360 no man, that men ought to be grateful for her no matter how little she brings to the table, and that

00:56:34.320 she won't be grateful for men no matter how much they bring to the table. And then women like this sit 1.00

00:56:41.000 back in astonishment and wonder why they're alone. Well, there's no mystery there. There's also no

00:56:50.640 mystery to the fact that today she is canceled. And we'll leave it there. Thanks for watching.

00:56:55.740 Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
