00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Will Show, with the What is a Woman question going mainstream,
00:00:03.300 helpfully coinciding with the announcement of my upcoming What is a Woman documentary,
00:00:06.920 we should probably try to figure out why exactly this question is so confusing to people. To that
00:00:10.880 end, there are a couple of points that I think are often overlooked. We'll talk about that. Also,
00:00:13.920 Joe Biden has more good news. Food shortages are on the horizon, and North Korea releases an
00:00:19.060 unintentionally hilarious hype video for their new missile that they just launched. Plus,
00:00:23.620 a heterosexual journalist comes out as queer, though he's still heterosexual. How does that
00:00:27.800 work? And we debate the question, is it racist to tip? In our daily cancellation, a relationship
00:00:32.840 guru gives some life hacks for how to date, quote unquote, 15 men in 21 days as she did.
00:00:39.520 I think I know the answer, though it's probably not the one that she would give.
00:00:42.580 We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Will Show.
00:00:54.100 So I've been talking to you a lot lately about inflation. We've all been talking about it.
00:00:57.700 When inflation is at 7% like it is now, that paper money in your wallet is losing value fast,
00:01:02.700 and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now worsened the market's slow decline. Today,
00:01:06.660 an ounce of gold is worth $1,900. It was worth about $300 an ounce in 2000. So that tells you
00:01:13.940 where the stability is. I've been telling you for a while that you can buy gold from Birch Gold.
00:01:18.120 It's your hedge against inflation. Did you know that there's another way to hedge against inflation?
00:01:21.820 Also, though, that's buy silver from Birch Gold. Silver is also considered real money,
00:01:25.880 and historically speaking, it's extremely undervalued right now. It's an industrial
00:01:29.120 metal. It's in high demand for everything from electronic cars to solar panels. Demand is
00:01:33.820 only going to rise, and some analysts suggest that there is an unusual dislocation in price
00:01:37.640 that may present very real opportunities for silver to rally over the next two years. Regardless,
00:01:43.740 silver, like gold, is never going to zero. The American dollar is currently going into the
00:01:47.700 toilet while precious metals are rising in value thanks to the Fed. Call Birch Gold.
00:01:52.020 They're the only company I trust. Don't wait. Start diversifying. Text Walsh to 98 98 98 to get a
00:01:58.380 free info kit on buying gold or silver in a tax-sheltered account. There is no obligation to
00:02:02.720 get this info. Text Walsh to 98 98 98 to get your free info kit now. Yesterday, we announced my upcoming
00:02:09.680 documentary, What is a Woman? We didn't expect, as we were making the film, that a Supreme Court nominee
00:02:15.060 would do so much to help promote it right before the release. In fact, there were many things that
00:02:20.300 happened around this film and while making it that we didn't quite expect. The short teaser that we
00:02:24.840 released yesterday shows a little bit of what we did expect, which is that lots of people are unable
00:02:29.760 to answer the titular question, and then also that politicians, in this case Congressman Mark
00:02:34.720 Takano of California, would be very upset when we asked it. But there's much more to the film,
00:02:40.940 much, much more, some of which you'll see when we drop the full trailer soon. And then, of course,
00:02:45.820 nothing will be able to beat the experience of watching the actual film itself when it comes out in May.
00:02:49.600 If you've been hesitating on getting a DW membership up until this point, I think I would
00:02:53.720 tell you that now is the time, because you're going to want to see this film. People will be
00:02:57.400 talking about it. We did some things in this movie that nobody's ever done before, and that's not an
00:03:02.900 exaggeration. And I can't say a lot, but I'll also say that we deployed some methods in order to secure
00:03:10.180 some of these interviews that have been used by other films plenty of times, but never by anybody on
00:03:16.240 the right. So you have to see it for yourself. You can go to whatisawoman.com for more information.
00:03:22.200 When I got home from work last night, speaking of the film, I found out that my wife had showed
00:03:26.860 the teaser to my kids. They aren't going to be able to watch the movie when it comes out. It's
00:03:32.080 not going to be appropriate for them. And the full trailer and most other clips that come out of this
00:03:36.480 thing will also probably not be appropriate for them. So this is a one piece that they could watch.
00:03:41.220 And in fairness, you know, they've wanted to know why I've been traveling and have been gone so much
00:03:46.180 over the past year. I went to Africa. Like, they don't really know why any of this is happening.
00:03:50.480 And now they know, sort of, but are even more confounded than they were before, probably. My daughter
00:03:55.280 especially thought it was absolutely hysterical that a bunch of grownups couldn't explain what a
00:04:02.300 woman is. You know, she asked me what was wrong with all those people. And I said that lots of people in
00:04:08.260 the world today are very confused and it's very sad. And she said, so, so they really don't even
00:04:13.180 know what a woman is. And I said, no, they don't. Or at least they say they don't. Do you know?
00:04:17.920 And she quickly answered that a woman has girl parts and she makes babies. It's about the shortest,
00:04:23.960 simplest, and most correct answer I've heard. I literally traveled the globe for a year,
00:04:28.500 talked to doctors and scientists and psychiatrists and so many other credentialed so-called experts.
00:04:33.840 And then finally got the right answer when I came home and asked my eight-year-old daughter.
00:04:39.080 Something quite profound about that, yet also extremely sad and terrifying.
00:04:43.780 But as to the what is a woman question, as it goes mainstream finally, as it becomes inescapable,
00:04:48.920 even for those who want nothing more than to escape it, I think there are a few crucial points to be
00:04:53.320 made, which have so far perhaps gotten lost in the shuffle. And these all revolve around a different
00:04:59.840 question, and that is, why are we going through this civilization-wide identity crisis? Why have
00:05:05.160 we tried to turn physical identity into a complicated subject? Why do we treat it as ambiguous, as abstract,
00:05:13.980 ephemeral? I think there are two, there are lots of reasons, but there are two big reasons that we
00:05:20.100 should think about, focus on. One, you know, I've said many times that there is a vast chasm,
00:05:26.380 a canyon separating the two ideological sides in this country, an expanse that cannot be bridged
00:05:32.420 because people on either side of it have diametrically opposed views about the most basic elements of
00:05:37.200 reality, such as, you know, is there such a thing as a woman? What is a woman? Like you can't,
00:05:42.400 there's no compromised position between those two, between those two sides. And that's all true.
00:05:47.580 But that picture of a society that is kind of cut in half with this huge, dark pit between them
00:05:57.200 that nobody can bridge, that picture is pretty bleak. It's actually, though, a bit too neat,
00:06:03.340 too tidy. It's actually more optimistic than what is the truth. It's a fine way of thinking about our
00:06:10.420 cultural situation generally, kind of from a bird's eye view. But when you look closer, you see that while
00:06:15.880 there is a chasm separating the two sides, there are also a bunch of smaller chasms separating each
00:06:21.600 individual, or at least each individual on one of those sides. This is the relativist project. The
00:06:28.640 relativist tries to lay claim to his own reality, his own universe. There's no shared universe. There's
00:06:36.180 no common reality at all. Each individual's identity is determined by the individual. Nothing external has
00:06:42.940 any say. There are no determinative factors on the outside. Each person is a self-creating being,
00:06:49.960 which of course is a paradox. You can't create yourself because in order to create anything,
00:06:55.440 you first have to be a self. Just as you can't determine your own identity because in order to
00:07:00.800 determine anything, you first must have an identity. Your identity comes from, your identity comes first.
00:07:08.720 You can determine quite a lot in life. You can make many choices. But you're doing all of those
00:07:15.560 things. You're acting in the world as a self whose basic biological identity was decided by someone or
00:07:22.980 something other than yourself. Your self cannot determine who your self is at such a basic level
00:07:30.400 because there has to be a self first that can do any determining at all.
00:07:37.580 That's the reality, but the left-wing gender ideologues rejected. And so the left-wing gender
00:07:42.200 ideologue is stuck in this kind of paradoxical, self-perpetuating train of circular logic where
00:07:48.420 statements like a woman is anybody who identifies as a woman seem to make sense. But they only seem to
00:07:53.640 make sense to the gender ideologue because he is, you know, he is a stuck in a sort of circular world
00:07:59.780 where everything is running in a circle. And so statements of circular logic, he just doesn't see it
00:08:07.140 for the nonsense that it is. Second thing, part of the reason that people in our culture
00:08:14.240 seek to reject their natural identity, and this is really important, and I think it's not talked
00:08:19.540 about nearly enough. Part of why, you know, they want to see identity as fluid and arbitrary,
00:08:25.640 superficial, is because they seek to escape the duties and responsibilities that attend your
00:08:33.100 natural identity. So this is how you bridge the gap between the left-wing war on gender roles and
00:08:39.680 their current obsession with gender fluidity. At first glance, it seems contradictory, and it is,
00:08:44.880 because for years they said that there are no gender roles and there's no, you know, so there's
00:08:49.360 nothing wrong with a boy dressing in pink and wearing a skirt like a boy can do whatever he
00:08:52.920 wants. There's nothing about his boy-ness that should compel him to act in any kind of way.
00:08:59.220 That's what they said for years. And now they say that a boy who dresses in pink and wears a skirt
00:09:03.560 actually is a girl. So that would seem to be a complete reversal, wouldn't it? And it is in a way. But
00:09:10.660 the one thing that ties all of this together is the rejection of natural roles, natural
00:09:16.080 responsibilities. We cannot say that a man has any particular duty as a man if the word man
00:09:24.320 doesn't mean anything. Same for woman. You know, one thing I found during my travels, and there's
00:09:31.420 much more to be said about this, a whole separate documentary on just this alone could be made and
00:09:36.660 should be made. And maybe I will be the one to make it if no one else does. But one thing I found
00:09:41.760 is that whenever I encountered somebody with a strong sense of responsibility, I was also
00:09:48.720 encountering somebody with a strong sense of identity. Every single person I talked to who knew
00:09:55.520 exactly who they were, and there weren't a lot of those people, but the ones that I did find,
00:09:59.900 they also knew exactly what they were supposed to be doing. People who know and accept what they are
00:10:07.320 and who they are and what they're supposed to do, they're never confused about who they are.
00:10:13.360 The problem is that there are so few people in that category in the West anymore, which is partly
00:10:17.420 why we went all the way into, you know, Africa, to the African wilderness. And when we got down there,
00:10:22.840 we found a small society, tribal society, totally organized around the concept of responsibility.
00:10:32.040 It's responsibility, your duties, your roles, bleeds into every aspect of your life, everything that
00:10:40.060 you do. Everybody has a role, and they know what it is, and so they don't question who they are.
00:10:45.940 In fact, if you ask them who they are, as I did, the first thing they'll tell you is what they do,
00:10:52.240 what their duties are. That's how closely the two things are intertwined. They don't even see
00:10:58.280 any distinction between them. A man is what a man does. Now, they also understand the biological
00:11:06.080 parts of it. A man has a penis and all that, but if you ask someone in one of those societies
00:11:11.680 what a man is, I can tell you this now from experience, the first thing they're going to
00:11:17.340 tell you about is what the man is supposed to do. They're not going to tell you that he's a male and
00:11:21.060 he has a penis. The reason they won't tell you that is because they think, well, that's just so
00:11:24.380 obvious. Why would I say that? Of course, everybody knows that. They assume I meant like on a sort of
00:11:29.520 a deeper level. A man is what a man does. Now, in the West, we forgot what a man is supposed to do,
00:11:38.040 and then it didn't take long before we also forgot who he is, and that is no coincidence.
00:11:46.880 As you'll see when the film comes out, whatiswoman.com. Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:12:34.700 and it's a new kind of, I don't know, this is a monetizable thing that we can explore here.
00:12:40.600 I'd never thought about this before, but she just texted me this. I mean, she texted me right before
00:12:45.180 I went on air, so if you do that, I think everyone in my life should know.
00:12:48.960 So you texted me right before airtime, I have the right to just read your text publicly. So
00:12:53.440 she said, I have to tell you the funniest thing. My coworker is a big fan of yours.
00:12:57.760 She was just telling me that she has a problem at her house with a fox attacking her chickens,
00:13:01.300 and she's been trying to deter it. She heard that human voices are a deterrent,
00:13:05.260 so she set up an iPod near her chicken coop and has your podcast running on a loop 24-7 very loudly,
00:13:10.780 and it worked. Your voice is apparently a successful fox deterrent, and as a bonus,
00:13:15.820 she's evangelizing her liberal neighbor. So that is, and then we're racking up those downloads as
00:13:22.600 well. I kind of like this. If you've got any problems with, I think in general, even if you
00:13:26.820 don't have a chicken coop, you've got wild animals out there, you've got maybe raccoons getting into
00:13:32.360 your garbage, just set up the podcast, have it running on a loop. And then, yeah, that is also the
00:13:40.520 bonus, is that you're going to be driving your neighbors completely insane. I'll take that as
00:13:45.800 a compliment, that my voice scares away wild animals. All right, let's start with this. Joe
00:13:53.960 Biden yesterday, he's just a guy full of good news. You can remember before, you know, we had the first
00:14:00.860 day of spring this week, and so winter is officially over. And we remember, we go back to whatever it
00:14:09.440 was, November, December, Joe Biden promised us a winter of death and sickness and despair.
00:14:16.720 And it didn't seem to be that for me. I mean, you know, it seems like the winter wasn't too bad,
00:14:22.360 but he promised it would be a winter of death. And winter of death didn't exactly work out.
00:14:29.040 But now, maybe we'll have a spring of death, because he says that food shortages are on the
00:14:35.500 horizon. Listen.
00:14:37.980 With regard to food shortage, yes, we did talk about food shortages. And it's going to be real.
00:14:45.200 The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia. It's imposed upon an awful lot of
00:14:52.340 countries as well, including European countries and our country as well. And because both Russia
00:14:59.620 and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat, for example, just give you one
00:15:05.140 example. But we had a long discussion in the G7 with the with both the United States, which has a
00:15:17.300 significant, the third largest producer of wheat in the world, as well as Canada, which is also a
00:15:24.340 major, major producer. And we both talked about how we could increase and disseminate more rapidly
00:15:30.980 food, food shortages. And in addition to that, we talked about urging all the European countries
00:15:38.760 and everyone else to end trade restrictions on on sending limitations on sending food abroad.
00:15:48.040 And so we are in the process of working out with our European friends what it would be what it would
00:15:54.600 take to help alleviate the concerns relative to food shortages. We also talked about a significant
00:16:01.960 major U.S. investment, among others, in terms of providing for the need for humanitarian assistance,
00:16:08.760 including food, as we move forward.
00:16:12.360 So what exactly happened to build back better? I think we've moved on from that, I guess. No more
00:16:16.360 building back better. Now we have winters of death, winter of death going into a spring of despair,
00:16:23.640 food shortages. Now he says food shortages are coming. Last I checked, they've already kind of been here.
00:16:29.960 And so that's that's part of what is happening here. Why Joe Biden's going around talking about
00:16:35.960 food shortages, promising that things are going to get so much worse. And we've heard a lot. I've
00:16:41.240 never heard. I can't remember ever hearing this much pessimism from a politician who's in charge of
00:16:49.960 things. Now, it's one thing when you're running against an incumbent and then you're pessimistic about
00:16:55.640 the way things are going right now. And then you say, well, elect me and things will be better.
00:16:59.880 But for the guy who's actually in charge, who's this pessimistic about the way things are heading.
00:17:09.960 Part of the reason for that, of course, is now he's trying to pin everything on on Putin.
00:17:14.680 And so you say, oh, food shortages are coming because of, you know, the war in Russia and
00:17:18.840 Putin and he's doing all this. Well, as I said, last I checked. That was already a problem. I mean,
00:17:25.880 Joe Biden, I think fairly was getting labeled bare shelves Biden before the war in Ukraine.
00:17:33.480 You know, you could go on social media and find the pictures of bare shelves grocery stores
00:17:38.200 going back months before any of this happened.
00:17:40.920 So this is a this has been a great opportunity for Biden to take all of these things that were
00:17:48.360 already happening. Gas prices, inflation, food shortages, supply chain issues, all that stuff,
00:17:56.120 all that was already happening, was already trending in this direction and take it all and just put it in
00:18:01.000 the lap of Putin. That's why that's why, you know, the Biden administration, very grateful,
00:18:07.720 in fact, for what's happening in Ukraine right now, because it gives them an opportunity to blame
00:18:12.200 all of their own failures on Putin. All these things that were already happening.
00:18:17.320 Now, is Putin's invasion of Ukraine, is that helping any of these issues? Is it helping gas prices? No.
00:18:23.560 Is it contributing to some of the problems? Sure. But none of these things began a few weeks ago when
00:18:33.240 Putin invaded Ukraine. We were already heading in that direction. And now he wants to, of course,
00:18:41.960 pin it all on Putin. You also get the sense. Here's the most disturbing thing for me. Every time I
00:18:47.800 I see Joe Biden and I listen to him and he's talking about these problems, you get the sense.
00:18:56.200 Well, first of all, of course, that he's just confused and he doesn't know exactly what's going
00:18:59.400 on because he does have dementia and we have a president with dementia. That's what happens when
00:19:05.160 you decide that an 80 year old needs to be president. But you also get the sense that he doesn't
00:19:10.920 he doesn't seem to care that much about any of these problems. There's no real sense of urgency at
00:19:19.720 all from this guy. That's why when all hell's breaking loose, he'll just go off to Delaware and,
00:19:25.960 you know, take a five day weekend. That's why he's still he's still going to bed at 730.
00:19:31.800 Even in the midst of crisis after crisis. Some of that is, again, the fact that he is physically
00:19:42.600 mentally collapsing. But it's also, I think, a lack of urgency, a lack of concern.
00:19:50.360 And that goes back to his own moral failings, but also that also could be traced back to his age.
00:19:55.640 You know, that I hate to always have to tie everything back to this and harp on this point,
00:20:03.480 but it's an important point. And I think we need to keep it front of mind here.
00:20:11.000 That, yeah, even if Joe, but even if this was, if Joe Biden was 20 years younger, we'd still be
00:20:15.800 having a lot of the same problems because he's still, he still would be incompetent.
00:20:20.280 But, um, this is only making all those problems even worse. The fact that he's so old.
00:20:30.360 And I think it contributes to a lack of urgency and a lack of concern because, uh, well, frankly,
00:20:35.180 he's not going to be around for very long because he's old. So I don't think he's sitting around
00:20:44.540 really worried about long-term solutions. This is not going to be his problem for very long.
00:20:51.740 Yet another reason why we need younger people in office and not just in the White House. I mean,
00:20:57.260 in office, running the country, we need younger people so that they're more physically and mentally
00:21:03.820 equipped, but also so that they have a stake in the future. So they're going to be around
00:21:08.700 to deal with the consequences of whatever decisions they make and their kids are going
00:21:16.060 to be around and they're going to be around also to see their kids dealing with those consequences.
00:21:22.940 It always makes me nervous, even more nervous when I, when I consider the fact that so many of the
00:21:29.180 people at the highest levels of government making the most important decisions are not going to be
00:21:34.940 around to see the consequences of any of these decisions. I think that should make us all very
00:21:41.500 nervous. You know, you have a president who's in his, you know, forties, fifties, even sixties, like
00:21:49.660 he's got several decades left probably on earth. You never know for sure. No one knows when they're,
00:21:55.420 when they're leaving, but, um, these are people who have decades left and they're going to be around.
00:21:59.820 Um, and that's a, it's all inevitable. The consequence of going into a nursing home and
00:22:11.900 finding the most geriatric people and saying, Hey, you want to run the country?
00:22:17.740 All right. Moving from the United States over to North Korea. I just got to play this for you because
00:22:21.420 it's, um, on one hand, you can't help but laugh because how else, because how else can you respond
00:22:29.260 to something like this? But then also you consider this guy's a ruthless dictator and
00:22:32.460 he runs concentration camps and kills thousands of his own people. Um, so that takes away from some
00:22:37.900 of the, the, uh, the humor, some of the comedic effect of this kind of thing, but, but either way,
00:22:44.300 so this is apparently from, this is a North Korean state media. They put out this propaganda piece
00:22:50.380 and this is, uh, uh, Kim Jong-un unveiling a new missile that they just launched. And they kind of put
00:22:57.740 together a little, little hype video and let's, uh, let's check this out. Let's see.
00:23:06.380 Did we say Kim coming out of the, he's got his generals there. Oh, he's pointing. Those are the
00:23:09.740 people he wants executed. He's pointing to them. Execute that person. Execute him too. He's gone.
00:23:16.220 Now those generals, this is the fifth take and the first four generals in the video were all executed.
00:23:23.500 And there's the missile. Now he's checking his watch. I don't know why they're, they're getting.
00:23:34.700 And all these generals, they know.
00:23:38.460 Oh, this is, that's the most intense I've ever seen.
00:23:42.700 Most intense scene of people checking watches I've ever seen.
00:23:44.940 Oh, is that it? They don't even launch the missile? Missile?
00:23:52.620 So that was just them bringing the missile out of the garage.
00:23:55.900 I guess there's probably a sequel where they actually launched the thing, but we won't bother watching that.
00:24:01.580 You know, they're trying. I mean, they've got, um,
00:24:06.460 they're doing what they can over there.
00:24:07.580 I guess to, uh, at least keep their, their dictator entertained. All right, let's go to this from the
00:24:14.620 daily wire. It says actress Gabrielle Union is known for her stance on trans issues involving children.
00:24:20.620 She, her husband, former freshman basketball player, Dwayne Wade have a teenager who identifies as trans.
00:24:25.660 This has inspired Union to become an outspoken advocate for LGBT issues, especially as they relate to kids.
00:24:30.460 Uh, the actress recently expressed her thoughts during an interview with Buzzfeed.
00:24:33.740 And she said, it's important for us to live and love out loud. We didn't exactly understand why
00:24:40.060 supporting Zaya's trans identity. So that's Zaya is what they're calling their kid. Uh,
00:24:44.940 we don't understand exactly why supporting Zaya's trans identity was a thing because it's like,
00:24:48.700 we love all our kids out loud. Um, their 14 year old child came out as trans in 2019.
00:24:57.660 Well, no, he, and I'm not even sure Zaya, is this a, uh, a male or I'm not even sure.
00:25:02.620 So I I'd like to use the appropriate pronouns here, but I'm not, I'm not even sure what they
00:25:07.660 are. Oh, it's a boy. Okay. All right. So this is, this is actually a boy. Their 14 year old child
00:25:11.980 Zaya came out as trans in 2019. Um, so he would have been, you know, he would have been 11, 10,
00:25:18.460 11 around there when, when, uh, when, when he came out. So he, he didn't actually come out. That's,
00:25:24.700 that's not what happened. I mean, you can't come out and identify something that you don't
00:25:29.900 understand. You don't understand what you're saying. This was an, this is an identity that was
00:25:33.340 imposed on him. I'm not saying entirely by his parents because it's probably not entirely by the
00:25:40.420 parents. It's by friends, society, the school system, all of these various institutions, but
00:25:47.580 the parents were, were quite eager and anxious to go along with it. So then, so they could then take
00:25:53.740 little Zaya and parade him all around and media and everything and show them off. And because
00:25:59.900 here's the thing, um, Zaya quote unquote came out as trans in 2019 and 2019 is when we first heard
00:26:09.400 about Zaya becoming a girl, quote unquote. So they, it's not like they waited. Dwayne Wade and
00:26:17.120 Gabrielle Union, they didn't, they didn't wait. Like as soon as that happened, they had him in front of
00:26:21.260 cameras, boom. So if there was ever any doubt about the motivations here, that should put those doubts
00:26:26.740 to rest. Um, if your child is supposedly coming out as trans and the very next thing you do is alert
00:26:39.960 the media and get them out on the red carpet in, uh, in dresses and so on and do interviews and
00:26:47.860 everything, then it's very clear. This is not about the kid. It's about you. Your kid is a trophy that
00:26:52.860 you are showing off to display how woke you are. Um, Union continues as our children show up. It's
00:27:01.140 our job to believe them when they tell us who they are and not impose our dreams, hopes, fears, and
00:27:07.080 desires on them. It's our job to be loving, compassionate, protective guides for our children, but their lives
00:27:13.220 are their lives. And we have to respect that we do not believe in any kind of shaming for existing.
00:27:17.900 That is bizarre, cruel, and harmful. So yeah, we're going to post our family. We're going to live out
00:27:23.220 loud. We're going to love out loud and we're going to speak out loud and lead. And however, each situation
00:27:28.480 calls for us to be leaders when things are not where they should be. Uh, all right. A couple of things
00:27:38.600 here. First of all, even putting aside, um, the issue of, of trans and the fact that you're imposing
00:27:46.320 this, what sadly and tragically will probably be a lifelong identity crisis on your child, putting
00:27:52.980 that to the side for a second, it is certainly not your, um, 11 year old child's job to be a leader
00:28:00.740 on anything, on any issue whatsoever. Okay. I don't care what the issue is. I don't care if it's even a
00:28:08.360 worthwhile issue. Um, your 11, your 11 year old child's job is, is right now just to be a child
00:28:15.680 and to learn and be educated, to, uh, have some moral formation, which is supposed to be your job
00:28:23.560 as a parent. You're obviously doing a terrible job of that. You've gone more the direction of moral
00:28:28.280 deformation and moral formation, but your job, your, your child's not supposed to be living out loud,
00:28:36.240 as you say, which what you mean is when you say live out loud, what you mean is on display for the
00:28:41.700 world to see love out loud. That again is on display. So, Oh, we're loving our children out loud
00:28:49.800 translation. We are our supposed love for our children is a performance
00:28:57.200 and we're doing this on a stage for the world to see.
00:29:03.660 And as to the rest of it, Oh, it's, she says that it's our, our, our children tell us who they are
00:29:09.340 and it's our job to listen. I mean, this is, uh, in fact, I know someone who wrote a whole book about
00:29:16.220 that concept called Johnny, the walrus, which you can also get a Johnny, the walrus.com
00:29:19.460 because that is the, that's the consequence. That's how absurd it is.
00:29:26.140 Your job is to listen to your child when he tells you who he is.
00:29:30.940 No, not at all, because your child has no idea who he is.
00:29:35.580 Children are not born into the world
00:29:37.580 with knowledge about almost anything. You have to teach them.
00:29:43.840 Okay. You're just as your child, it's not your child's job to lead in society.
00:29:50.720 It's not your child's job to be a, uh, an activist.
00:29:55.040 It's especially not your child's job to lead your family.
00:30:00.900 Now you don't, you don't follow his lead and say, well, he'll tell us who he is and what he wants to do.
00:30:05.380 And we'll, we're just going to follow behind him, applauding him all the way.
00:30:10.120 Well, then you're going to be following and applauding as your child goes right off of a cliff.
00:30:18.520 Only the thing is, you're not going to jump off the cliff with him.
00:30:21.080 You're going to stand at the edge and watch him fall and just applaud.
00:30:24.220 There you go. It looks fun.
00:30:28.140 No, you're supposed to say to the, to the kid, even, and sometimes they, they won't,
00:30:32.040 they won't like this because kids can be obstinate and stubborn and they want to get their way.
00:30:36.180 Uh, so sometimes you have to be forceful about it, but you, you, you, you stop your kid and say,
00:30:41.020 no, no, let me get in front. You come in behind me. I'll show you where we're going because you
00:30:44.980 don't know. And that's what you need me to do for you. Cause that over there is a cliff and you're
00:30:50.200 a kid and you're stupid and you're going to think that you're just going to walk right over it and
00:30:53.240 be fine. But I know better cause I'm an adult. So I'm going to guide you on this path over here.
00:30:58.160 That's what you're supposed to be doing. Um, I also wanted to mention this. This is kind of
00:31:03.360 interesting. Terrell Jermaine star is a, I guess a, a journalist. He's got a blue check on Twitter.
00:31:10.920 So we know he's an important person and he tweeted this. He says, I've just started identifying as
00:31:17.880 queer over the last four months. Does that make me the new queer, but an old black? And then he
00:31:24.800 continues because you're wondering, well, he's just, he just started, he's just started identifying
00:31:30.340 as queer. This is not the same thing as I'm coming out as gay. I've been gay my whole life
00:31:35.800 and I haven't told anybody. And, uh, and now I'm, I'm living out loud as Gabriel union would say.
00:31:42.260 No, I just started identifying as queer. Okay. What does that mean? He continues. I think most men,
00:31:49.400 especially black men like me who come out later in life, it's because we don't really know it
00:31:55.480 ourselves. Also I'm attracted to a wide range of women, but not men at all. So I, so I didn't know
00:32:02.560 how to ID myself, even though I haven't felt straight in years, LOL. For me, embracing being
00:32:09.300 queer was as much as intellectual journey as it was other areas. Just the way I think of structural
00:32:14.440 oppression comes from not feeling heteronormative in my thinking about things. Okay. So he's only
00:32:22.600 attracted to women. He makes very clear about that. Um, but he's attracted to a wide range of,
00:32:29.380 of women. I don't know exactly what that means. Uh, a wide range of maybe he's attracted to,
00:32:35.480 to larger women. Okay. That's, that's fine. Some guys are, they're still women though.
00:32:42.480 Um, and, but in spite of that he hasn't, so you're attracted to, to women and only women,
00:32:47.400 you're a man, but you don't feel straight. What does that mean? Does it mean that you,
00:32:52.340 you also attracted to men? No, no, you're only attracted to women. I just don't feel straight.
00:32:58.220 I, you know, I have feeling I'm a straight person and I have feelings and I'm assuming that the
00:33:03.400 feelings I'm having right now are not the feelings that other straight people have, even though I only
00:33:06.820 like women, of course, none of this makes any sense whatsoever, but it does show a couple of
00:33:13.940 things. Uh, one is how, you know, this, this LGBT indoctrination that's going on. We, we, we focus a
00:33:23.920 lot. I mean, I focus a lot on how this affects children, how children are being kind of groomed
00:33:28.780 and, uh, indoctrinated. And that's true. And that's a big problem, but it's not just children.
00:33:33.660 This is happening to, it's happening to adults. Also, adults also are being in effect groomed by
00:33:39.880 this stuff and indoctrinated into it. Now with them, it's a little bit different because they're,
00:33:47.020 they are more willful participants in their own indoctrination. Um, and the reason why he's going
00:33:54.460 along with it is because, you know, it's also trendy. There is a, there's a, there are many social
00:34:00.480 benefits of being able to say I'm queer. And the great thing is if you're interested in those social
00:34:06.180 benefits, the word queer that like doesn't mean anything anymore. Um, and so you can claim that
00:34:13.740 label for yourself and, uh, and no one's allowed to question it because it's your label. And now if
00:34:20.140 you're a man, you know, you could still date women, but you can have all the social credibility of,
00:34:24.320 uh, of being LGBT as far as Terrell's concerned, it's the best of both worlds. All right, here's
00:34:29.700 another tweet. This one is from representative Casey Weinstein, who's a state representative in
00:34:34.460 Ohio. And I thought this was, uh, this was good. He says in Ohio, you need a license to fish, but not
00:34:41.080 to, not to, uh, concealed carry a gun. Think about that. You need a license to fish, but not to have
00:34:47.500 concealed carry for a gun. Think about it. Well, I am thinking about it. And I actually totally agree
00:34:53.980 with him that this is completely insane. Um, you should not need a license to fish. That's,
00:35:01.940 that's the conclusion I think we could draw from there. Now, uh, I say that as someone avid fisherman
00:35:09.300 myself, I've fished in many, you know, five, six different States. I've never actually bothered to
00:35:15.000 get a license. Um, but there shouldn't be the regulation that I have to ignore. I shouldn't
00:35:20.700 be forced to ignore this regulation. It shouldn't be there to begin with. And since he brought up the
00:35:24.280 subject, I mean, just think about that for a second, that if you want to grab a fishing pole
00:35:30.160 and go to a lake or a pond and, you know, throw some bait in there, you got, you got to get a license
00:35:37.260 from the government. It's, it's, you know, one of the many absurdities that, you know, that we
00:35:45.140 tolerate in terms of the government, just it's, it's blatantly nothing but fundraising.
00:35:53.240 Not, not much different from the red light cameras that they put up or anything like that. All it is,
00:35:57.040 is fundraising. Because the other thing about the fishing license is that if you do go get one,
00:36:00.960 you go to, you know, you can go to any sporting goods store or whatever, if you feel like getting
00:36:03.820 one, even though, again, there's no reason to actually do it because while I've never gotten
00:36:08.620 a license, I've also never, ever been asked to produce one. And I've never seen anyone be asked
00:36:14.700 to produce one. Maybe, maybe there are some lakes in the country where this actually happens. I've
00:36:19.240 never encountered it. I've never seen it. But if you do go get the license, I know there's,
00:36:24.620 there's nothing to it. They just, they'll, you, you pay them 50 bucks or whatever it is,
00:36:27.880 depending on what kind of license you're trying to get. Um, you don't have to, there's no training.
00:36:31.480 They don't, they don't make sure that you know how to cast or anything like that. There's no
00:36:34.840 training that goes into it. It's not like a, it's not like a driver's license where they want to
00:36:38.380 make sure that you're not going to kill somebody, uh, when you're out there driving. Um, nothing
00:36:43.040 like that. You just got to pay them and then they'll let you go fish. Nothing but fundraising.
00:36:48.940 So inadvertently Casey Weinstein has brought up a good point here. Get rid of the, the, the license to
00:36:56.300 fish. Also, you shouldn't need a license to carry a gun around either. Okay. One other quick thing
00:37:01.980 I want to mention is from a few days ago. Um, the DW as Nicole Hannah-Jones, a New York times reporter
00:37:07.340 and creator of the 1619 project riled up social media on Monday when she tweeted that tipping is
00:37:12.420 a legacy of slavery. What reason does she have? I haven't read this until now, so I'm not sure what
00:37:18.200 her argument is. Maybe it's a good argument. Not holding my breath. She's never made a good
00:37:22.880 argument for anything, but tipping is a legacy of slavery. And if it's not optional, then it
00:37:28.620 shouldn't be a tip, but simply included in the bill. She wrote, you ever stopped to think why we
00:37:33.620 tip like why tipping is a practice in the U S and almost nowhere else. Um, okay. Well, what's the,
00:37:41.360 how do you connect it to slavery? That's what I'm trying to see. Hannah Jones, 45 created the 1619
00:37:45.060 project. We know about that. Um, and I'm just skimming through to see if she actually gives a reason
00:37:52.860 how do you click? I want to know, how do you connect these dots? And then she's okay. Then
00:37:59.220 she's getting criticized on Twitter. She responds to it. She says, are y'all reading what I'm writing
00:38:03.600 or no? I said, I tip, I tip. Well, I tip almost always, but I object to the idea that I'm obligated
00:38:10.280 to tip no matter how I'm treated. Nope. And you can't get more offended at me than employers that pay
00:38:15.800 less than minimum wage. So here's my question. Who is the slave in this analogy? Is it the,
00:38:22.620 the person working for tips is the slave? Cause that's how that's, I figured that's what she
00:38:26.500 meant. But then reading more, it sounds like she's saying that we are turned into slaves
00:38:31.480 because we're forced, you know, by social pressure to give tips to someone who's already
00:38:36.280 getting paid. I don't know. I'm not sure how she dissects that exactly. I'm not sure if I would
00:38:42.340 say that tipping has a, is, is a holdover from slavery. In fact, I would say that it definitely
00:38:47.240 isn't, I mean, quite famously, um, slaves didn't earn tips. They didn't earn anything
00:38:52.100 at all. It's what makes you a slave. So I'm not going to agree with that. Um, but I do
00:38:59.000 think, and I think we've talked about before that, although I, I, you know, I consider myself
00:39:04.080 to be a pretty good tipper. I still tip in most situations. Um, tipping is however, gotten
00:39:11.780 way out of control everywhere you go. Now they expect a tip and, um, whether it's a tip jar or
00:39:19.520 now they get more aggressive about it and they actually will ask you or now that everywhere you
00:39:23.940 go that, you know, you have to pay on the iPad thing and then they flip it around and there's
00:39:28.060 always a, Oh, do you want, you want to leave a 15% tip, a 25% tip? Um, so I think it's gotten
00:39:34.920 way out of hand. I think we need to stop for a second and have a conversation about tipping,
00:39:41.580 not about whether it has any connection to slavery, but just what is the point of the tip
00:39:46.160 and which, which industry should have this and not. I can understand in the food industry,
00:39:53.720 you know, a waiter, first of all, is not getting paid a lot, but also, you know, your experience
00:40:00.400 at the restaurant is going to be so much determined by how good your waiter is. And so I understand
00:40:05.880 the tip and, uh, it's also a way of rewarding, really good service, penalizing bad service. So
00:40:11.580 I understand it that way, but if all you're doing is just pouring a cup of coffee for me and handing
00:40:16.360 it to me, like I could cut you out of that completely. Just give me the cup and I'll pour it
00:40:21.720 myself. So I don't understand tipping for that. That's a conversation. Maybe we'll have another time.
00:40:27.100 Let's get out of the comment section.
00:40:30.400 All right. We'll take a look at one video comment, which is clip eight.
00:40:48.420 Hey Matt. Uh, I don't know if I'm allowed to be featured in the video comments twice. That weird
00:40:57.120 guy that made those videos that annoyed you did, but I think it might only be allowed
00:41:00.840 if McKenna wants to annoy you anyways. Um, I just watched Candace and I watched the water test
00:41:09.380 and she took a sip from what said Awkwafina before the signs were flipped down
00:41:19.240 and said, Oh, this is Dasani. And then when she picked up the sign, it said Dasani, but that's
00:41:26.280 where Awkwafina was. Candace is the cheater. Sweet baby getting for life.
00:41:33.380 Yeah. Uh, many nefarious things went on surrounding that, that water test. Uh, we, I think we will
00:41:42.600 never know the full truth. We'll never know everything that happened. Um, historians will
00:41:49.420 be debating this for decades and centuries to come all the, and, and, and you're right.
00:41:56.220 I mean, what you pointed out, there are, it's, it's, if you, if you watch, it's quite disturbing.
00:42:00.440 I've had many people reach out to me because first of all, they want to know, am I okay?
00:42:04.020 How am I doing? And I appreciate that. And then the answer is I'm doing all right, but
00:42:08.340 I'm, I'm still, I'm still recovering in a lot of ways from what happened. Uh, but you
00:42:12.840 can notice some interesting things with the way the water test was, was edited and some,
00:42:17.060 some cups are mysteriously moving around and signs are moving around. No one knows what's
00:42:21.760 happening. Um, it would take too long to sort all out, but, but, but all you need to know
00:42:27.680 is that of course I did, I did win. Uh, let's see. Frankie Price says, if your entire ideology
00:42:33.900 can be destroyed by one question, it was never strong to begin with. Well, that's an understatement.
00:42:38.100 That's exactly the point. And that's why we made the film. What is a woman.com? Um, uh,
00:42:44.060 Mark says it was very good of a K B G K B J K B J K B J. There we go to coordinate with
00:42:49.780 your movie release. Yeah, it is. It really did. I mean, you can't plan it any better than
00:42:54.020 this. Um, and it is. And I, I do appreciate that at least from her. Lena says, I can't
00:42:59.380 wait for the film to come out. I, I, uh, I hope you have a good contingency plan in case
00:43:02.860 some social media platforms kick you out. Well, there's no real contingency plan. I mean,
00:43:06.300 that's just right now. Anyway, that's the unfortunate reality is that, um, the most powerful social
00:43:12.480 media platforms are the ones that are run by the left. And if they, if they kick you off,
00:43:18.300 which I think there's a pretty good chance that will happen to me, I'm surprised it hasn't
00:43:22.540 happened yet to me. Um, it's inevitable that eventually that will happen to me just like
00:43:26.960 it will happen to any conservative who's outspoken and has a platform. I think with this movie coming
00:43:30.980 out, like I said yesterday, I don't, I don't, I don't see how all of my social media platforms
00:43:36.560 survive the release of the movie. Not that they have any good reason to kick me off because of the
00:43:42.340 movie, but it doesn't mean they won't do it. Uh, but in terms of a contingency plan,
00:43:46.220 what do you do instead? I mean, just the reality is they kick you off and, uh, it doesn't mean that
00:43:52.600 you're erased from existence, but that will succeed in cutting you off from a certain portion of an
00:44:00.720 audience. And there really isn't any replacement right now. I think we should work on building some,
00:44:09.040 you know, building some social media platforms, um, where you can actually say things like
00:44:17.000 men have penises without being kicked off. We like that should exist and we should work on that. And
00:44:22.720 I know that there are some platforms that are out there where, um, you can say these sorts of
00:44:27.220 forbidden things without being, without being canceled, but none of them have anywhere close to
00:44:34.460 the power of a Twitter or Facebook or any of that. We're, we're a far away from anything that
00:44:39.300 could be considered a real alternative, a real, whatever you want to call it, free speech,
00:44:43.840 alternative, conservative alternative, um, to Twitter and Facebook that doesn't really exist yet.
00:44:49.920 And part of the reason for that is that most of the, um, the wannabe alternatives that have come
00:44:56.140 along, you know, they, they are focused too much on just being the conservative version of Twitter
00:45:03.880 rather than innovating something new and giving people a real reason to leave and use their platform.
00:45:11.080 And we heard a lot about truth social, which is Trump's platform. And as far as I know, he hasn't
00:45:15.200 even posted on it himself. I think he posted on himself when they first launched it a month ago and
00:45:19.080 hasn't posted on it since. Um, and at a minimum, he needs to be posting on that thing all the time.
00:45:23.860 If he wants any chance of that, of it surviving. But the problem is, you know, I took a look at it
00:45:27.980 and, and it's just, it's just Twitter. It's like exactly the same as Twitter. There's no innovation
00:45:32.200 going into it. And so there's just not going to be the incentive for people to go and try that
00:45:37.320 product instead. Um, trust me says now Candace Owens has to apologize to Matt. How can she be so
00:45:45.620 slanderous to him in his cult when he is doing such amazing work and to think that the slander came from
00:45:49.920 bottled water. That's almost as ridiculous as not being able to say what a woman is. Maybe we need a new
00:45:53.760 documentary. What is Dasani? Because, you know, she obviously can't tell. But as you've heard,
00:45:58.880 you know, I've been working on a secret project for over a year and it is called, what is a woman?
00:46:03.640 There's a lot more to be said about this and that will be revealed over the coming weeks.
00:46:08.820 Uh, but what I can tell you is that this is the most important question of 2022. And I think,
00:46:14.000 and I, and I, though I'm biased, I think that, uh, this really is the most important film of 2022
00:46:18.260 as well. Take a look at this sneak peek. I have traveled all over the world for the past year
00:46:25.680 asking one simple question. What is a woman?
00:46:32.120 What is it? What is it? What is it? I don't know. People are laughing. Is that, is that a dumb
00:46:44.100 question? I've been asking everybody this and almost nobody can answer it. What is a woman? What is
00:46:50.040 a woman? That's a great question. If one person could tell me what a woman is. Congressman, thank you
00:46:58.080 for, for being here. I think this interview is over. Let's try off the cameras. I just wanted to know
00:47:02.180 what is a woman? And you're not going to find out. It's not a complicated question.
00:47:16.000 What we're doing here is we are questioning the logic of the trans movement of gender ideology.
00:47:23.080 We're going right to its core. Um, and because it's a movement that's taken aim at women and children,

00:47:47.520 everything. It's for truth itself. What is a woman coming 2022? Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:47:52.620 Well, it's Friday, so we're going to go easy on our daily cancellation. I don't mean go easy as
00:48:01.840 in be nice. I definitely won't be nice. Um, that's one promise I can make and always keep. It's my
00:48:06.380 undying pledge, but, uh, I mean, you know, have a sort of an easy subject. There's a headline from
00:48:10.940 the New York post, which cries out for cancellation, I think, and I need to do very little except just
00:48:15.360 sort of point in its direction. The headline, how I hacked Tinder and dated 15 men in 21 days.
00:48:21.160 Now reading along, it says with the Tinder swindler, a blockbuster success on Netflix,
00:48:26.740 many women are wary of matching with a man online, but one Australian woman says Tinder is the perfect
00:48:31.500 place to meet Mr. Right and is revealing the simple hacks she uses to maximize chances of success on
00:48:37.280 the app. I'm going to stop right here. There's almost no reason to read anymore. Um, we have all
00:48:42.360 we need, I guess, but let me just say at the outset, first of all, that I'm already canceling this woman
00:48:47.480 and whoever wrote this article simply for the way they're using the word hack, because somewhere
00:48:52.800 along the line, this concept of life hacks came into existence. And now the internet is pockmarked
00:48:57.740 with 14 billion different articles, guides, videos, different, you know, things, giving advice on how
00:49:03.400 to hack various aspects of life. We used to just call this advice or tips. Now it's a hack because hack
00:49:10.520 sounds more secretive and clever and edgy. Like it's some sort of forbidden knowledge, but then
00:49:16.080 the advice, the hack is often something incredibly basic that everybody already knew. Like, um,
00:49:20.840 here's a life hack. If you don't want to trip while you're walking down the steps,
00:49:24.260 tie your shoes or else it goes the other way. And the hack actually offers a more complicated and
00:49:29.160 inefficient way of performing some routine task. So it'll be something like a life hack. Make sure
00:49:35.060 you don't lose your car keys by having them surgically attached to your hand. So the whole
00:49:39.400 life hacking trend is stupid and it is what I'm saying. And we could cancel just that, but that's
00:49:44.700 not the primary point today. In this particular case, the life hack is a method discovered by an
00:49:49.620 Australian woman for how to quote unquote date. I think we know what she means when she says date
00:49:55.000 15 men in less than a month. Now I can already tell you how to achieve this goal. If for some reason
00:50:01.580 you want to, I'll give you the step-by-step process for dating 15 men in 21 days. One,
00:50:08.300 be a woman to have no moral standards. That's it. Those are all the steps. In fact, you could
00:50:15.460 probably, um, hack this hack and remove the first step entirely, which you really have to seeing as
00:50:20.540 how women don't exist. But really, if you're, if you're any sort of person looking to date any other
00:50:25.820 sort of person, you can find an essentially unlimited supply if you have no sorts of standards
00:50:30.740 whatsoever. If you're a warm body looking for other warm bodies and you are unburdened by any
00:50:37.120 moral sensibilities and have no aesthetic requirements either, the internet will provide
00:50:41.020 you with all the fodder you need. And you don't even need to be a warm body. Actually, Pete Davidson
00:50:46.020 is basically dead and look how well he's done on the dating scene. This is the world we live in now.
00:50:50.420 But then again, you know, I'm a married man. I've never used Tinder. What do I know? So let's go back
00:50:56.200 to the article and see what tips and tricks this woman offers. I'm guessing she offers a lot of
00:51:01.260 tricks, offers them, turns them, et cetera. Here's what it says. Helen Chick, who hails from Sydney,
00:51:08.000 says dating is simply a numbers game and boasts that she had Tinder dates with 15 different men
00:51:12.080 during a recent work trip, a three week trip to New York city. The serial dater who has penned the
00:51:16.340 book sex swipes and other stories divulged how she managed to meet so many men in such a short
00:51:20.800 period of time. Chick declared that everything comes down to time and urged Tinder users not to
00:51:25.040 procrastinate while on the app. She said it's important to get small talk out of the way
00:51:28.580 quickly so that you can meet up in person as soon as possible. Quote, change your location prior to
00:51:33.020 arriving in the city. So you're basically matching people in a city. You're not actually physically
00:51:36.280 in, but you can do all the tedious small talk banter, vibe checks, et cetera, before you arrive,
00:51:41.940 she advised. For those who are hoping to date locally, Chick further divulged her hack for cutting
00:51:46.180 down on small talk. The savvy swiper said she divides conversations into two categories,
00:51:51.580 need to know and nice to know. The latter consists of lighthearted, trivial topics,
00:51:55.040 while the former is focused on determining a person's morals, goals, and values. Chick claims
00:51:58.800 conversation should be focused on the need to know category so as to quickly figure out whether
00:52:02.820 two people are compatible prior to putting energy into a date. By the way, she wants to know about
00:52:09.460 your morals and values specifically to ensure that you, like her, don't have any. And that's really her
00:52:15.520 life hack. She dedicated a whole book to it. Her advice, don't bother talking or getting to know
00:52:21.960 someone, just cut right to the chase, get in bed with them, and move to the next one.
00:52:26.940 So in other words, it's exactly the two-step process I mentioned at the start. Be a woman,
00:52:32.140 have no soul, in a pinch the first step can even be skipped.
00:52:36.400 Now there's one other bit at the very end that you'll find totally shocking.
00:52:39.540 It says, Chick is twice divorced, and she says that that fact is a part of the need-to-know category.
00:52:45.040 She always shares that personal information before an in-person meetup. Twice divorced.
00:52:50.580 Who could have possibly predicted? Twice divorced and writing a relationship handbook.
00:52:55.880 That's like me writing a book on fashion tips. And that would be a short book also. Chapter one,
00:53:00.980 wear plaid, the end. Now, if I may be so bold as to disagree with the multiply divorced relationship
00:53:08.900 guru who collects venereal diseases like their souvenirs, I would say that the correct approach
00:53:13.820 to dating is precisely the opposite of what she recommends. Now, sure, this does somewhat depend
00:53:20.120 on your goals. If you're an empty, miserable, lonely nihilist who has despaired of love and trust
00:53:26.060 and meaning and now wishes only to use other human bodies like glorified masturbatory devices,
00:53:31.260 screwing the days away until you die alone and cold with no one to mourn you and no legacy to leave
00:53:35.560 behind, then Helen's method is the way to go, no doubt. But if you actually want some kind of joy and
00:53:40.920 you care about things like human dignity, um, your own and other people's, and if you want to have
00:53:47.340 actual love and happiness in your life and you want to leave this world knowing that your time was spent
00:53:51.540 in a meaningful way and that your progeny will live on even as you move to the hereafter, if that
00:53:56.040 sounds more appealing, then your best bet is to consider the Helens of this world and the way
00:54:02.160 they approach these things and do exactly the opposite of what they do. You're not looking for raw
00:54:07.860 numbers here. The people you're dating aren't bowling pins that you want to simply lie down so that you
00:54:12.540 can collect the point and win whatever game it is you think you're playing. The goal of dating is to
00:54:17.380 find one person, a person who shares your basic values and priorities, someone who you find physically
00:54:24.300 attractive, that's important also, um, someone you, you feel a connection with. And then once you found
00:54:29.660 that person, that, that, the game's over, you won, move on with them and build a life together in
00:54:36.620 marriage. This means you're not looking to, uh, get talking out of the way when you first meet them
00:54:42.020 so you can jump in bed together. Jumping in bed with them doesn't tell you anything about them other
00:54:45.920 than the fact that they're the kind of person who does that. So actually tells you a lot, which means
00:54:50.860 they probably aren't the kind of person you want to marry. But then again, you also would be the kind
00:54:54.360 of person who does that and means you're the kind of person people shouldn't want to marry. So best to
00:54:59.560 skip that step or rather to hold off on it until the proper time, which comes within the bonds of
00:55:03.900 marriage and instead focus on getting to know this individual and who they actually are and what they
00:55:08.360 believe, what sort of person they are. You don't need to know everything. You don't need a list of
00:55:14.560 every quirk, every habit, every last detail. You don't need to know things like, uh, do they have any
00:55:19.820 annoying habits? They do. I can tell you that for sure. You just need to know about their moral
00:55:24.600 character. Can you relate to them? Can you trust them? If everything lines up, you can both, you know,
00:55:32.360 both of you can free yourself from the clutches of the modern dating scene, which is infested with people
00:55:36.900 like Helen and move to the altar, which is supposed to be the end point of the dating process. And you can
00:55:44.200 live then, maybe not happily ever after. There will still be ups and downs, bumps and potholes, but
00:55:49.380 certainly you'll be living much happier than Helen, who is today, of course, canceled. And we'll leave
00:55:55.840 it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
