00:14:53.160I think that's about all they had in common
00:14:55.220and the way he writes about her in that book
00:14:57.320he suggests, I don't know whether it's true
00:15:00.360but he suggests Brooke was materialistic, rather shallow, kind of surface level, and
00:15:07.880didn't have the heart and the soul of somebody that he could fall madly in love with. I think
00:15:12.960he married her because she was Brooke Shields. So sorry if that's not right, but that's my takeaway.
00:15:19.100So they got a divorce. He doesn't write the nicest things about her, although he tries to protect her
00:15:24.040in some ways. Now he wound up married to Steffi Graff, the greatest female tennis player of all
00:15:28.220time, and they're happily married and have two beautiful children. So Brooke Shields went on to
00:15:33.420get married to somebody else, and she had her kids. And look, she's another person who was
00:15:39.280a Hollywood child star who was totally over-sexualized by a disgusting, toxic industry.
00:15:47.940Go look at Blue Lagoon, where she starred as this girl who'd been shipwrecked on this island with her cousin, and it's just the two of them.
00:17:39.820And we actually pulled it. We actually pulled the part of the memoir when she describes this moment where she had the urge to drive her car into a wall while she was driving her daughter. Rowan Francis is the daughter's name. She was born in the spring of 2003. Let's take a listen.
00:18:01.620But I started feeling like I no longer mattered.
00:19:51.480She took medication, and then she stopped it, cold turkey, for her postpartum depression, but didn't tell her doctors or her husband.
00:19:59.600She was on Paxil, and then she went back on Paxil after this incident.
00:20:04.040So she was very brave to, you know, admit all of that because it did open a conversation about postpartum depression for women back in 2003.
00:20:14.720And then, famously or infamously, depending on your POV, Tom Cruise went on the Today Show with Matt Lauer, and this happened.
00:20:26.900Aren't there examples, and might not Brooke Shields be an example of someone who benefited from one of those drugs?
00:20:32.340All it does is mask the problem, Matt.
00:20:34.980And if you understand the history of it, it masks the problem.
00:24:10.820Because there's reason to believe that she wasn't criminally responsible.
00:24:14.700Now, I believe the argument is she wasn't entirely responsible, that others had a hand in exacerbating her problems.
00:24:21.380But the criminal law doesn't care about that.
00:24:23.500You know, if I go to rob a bank and you drive me there, you're going down, too. I don't get excused just because you drove me. You're going down, too. So and there and there are civil suits against the medical care, the people who were purportedly responsible for Lindsay Clancy's medical care.
00:24:42.840So, in any event, it's very interesting to listen to the argument now, as it's being
00:24:50.980debated by jurors at this moment, 12.23 p.m. Eastern Time on September 2nd, in a Boston
00:24:57.640or a Massachusetts jury deliberation room.
00:25:01.300After the Tom Cruise exchange on the Today Show, a couple of things happened.
00:25:07.900Brooke Shields wrote an op-ed dated July 1st, 2005 for the New York Times.
00:25:13.000She said, she writes, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but after Tom Cruise's interview
00:25:16.540with Matt Lauer on the NBC show today, I feel compelled to speak, not just for myself, but
00:25:22.760also for hundreds of thousands of women who have suffered from postpartum depression.
00:25:26.280While Mr. Cruise says that Mr. Lauer and I do not understand the history of psychiatry,
00:25:31.220I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Mr. Cruise has never suffered from postpartum
00:25:35.120depression. It's caused by the hormonal shifts that occur after childbirth, during pregnancy,
00:25:40.500a level of estrogen, progesterone. She gets into all that. She writes, after the baby was born,
00:25:46.540I felt completely overwhelmed. This baby was a stranger to me. I didn't know what to do with
00:25:50.480her. I didn't feel at all joyful. I attributed feelings of doom to simple fatigue and figured
00:25:56.520that they would eventually go away, but they didn't. In fact, they got worse. I couldn't bear
00:26:01.380the sound of Rowan crying, and I dreaded the moments my husband would bring her to me.
00:26:06.200I wanted her to disappear. I wanted to disappear. At my lowest points, I thought of swallowing a
00:26:11.160bottle of pills or jumping out the window of my apartment. I couldn't believe it when my doctor
00:26:16.100told me that I was suffering from postpartum depression and gave me a prescription for
00:26:19.620the antidepressant Paxil. I wasn't thrilled to be taking drugs. In fact, I prematurely stopped
00:26:25.720taking them and had a relapse that almost led me to drive my car into a wall with Rowan in the
00:26:31.280backseat. We played you the excerpt from her memoir. But the drugs, along with weekly therapy
00:26:36.380sessions, are what saved me and my family. She goes on to write, and comments like those made
00:26:44.000by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere. To suggest that I was wrong to
00:26:49.400take drugs to deal with my depression and that instead I should have taken vitamins and exercised
00:26:53.980shows an utter lack of understanding about postpartum depression and childbirth in general.
00:26:58.580Okay, now I get it. I get why she's writing that. But it is also true that exercise is absolutely
00:27:08.420a mood enhancer and can be an antidote to depression. Exercise, which gets endorphins
00:27:16.700flowing, which actually can help mood and a feeling of well-being and actual well-being for
00:27:21.400that matter. I don't argue it's the only thing that you should avoid an antidepressant at all
00:27:27.480costs, although that certainly would be my plan if I found myself in this boat. But if you're
00:27:34.760suffering, I think antidepressants in particular can be helpful if you are suffering an acute
00:27:38.940psychological crisis. And postpartum depression can be that. It can be that. I mean, I think if
00:27:44.300you get on them long-term as a mood enhancer, as a serotonin boost, as something that combats
00:27:50.520depression, what happens is you get acclimated to the drug. They have to raise the prescription
00:27:55.440and then they just move you to the next one. That's your life. It seems very dark to me.
00:28:02.520Why must we be so hard on the possibility of exercise and vitamins and actually taking a
00:28:12.200harder look at hormonal balance? These are some of the things being pushed right now by functional
00:28:16.940medicine and rejected by more Western medicine. And I think a lot of us may be experiencing this
00:28:23.160as we become more open-minded to functional medicine and then run it by our more Western
00:28:28.060doctors, and they recoil in horror at what we're being advised by the functional docs.
00:28:35.920So like this same debate is going on today, just under a different subject matter,
00:28:41.480you know, about medicine and wellness and longevity, et cetera. And it started not in
00:28:48.3202003 and five with the Brooke Shields, Tom Cruise thing, but it gets renewed, let's say every 10,
00:28:54.40015 years. And the Lindsay Clancy case is renewing it. In the U.S., a break-in happens every 26
00:29:01.420seconds. Most systems only alert you after an intruder is inside. And by then the damage is
00:29:07.420already done. But then there is SimpliSafe. Love these guys. This is the best idea. Why doesn't

00:34:10.540Another one. Finally, some good news. Another one. Excellent. More of this. Stand up against the greedy bottom feeders because she worked at Bank of America. Do you have any idea what she did at Bank of America? Maybe she was in human resources. Maybe she was enforcing your weird woke rules that you authoritarians have tried to force us all to live under for the past six years.
00:34:33.080You have no idea what like the weird knee jerk instinct to condemn somebody who's working for the machine.
00:34:40.420Fuck you. You know, these are losers hanging out in their parents' basements with shitty jobs, jealous of anybody who works hard and achieves a modicum of success.
00:34:51.500The soullessness that you would have to exhibit to say something like that after a new mother whose baby daughter now has no mama is beyond.
00:35:05.100This is not a person who's salvageable.
00:35:07.140These people, multiple, we just pulled a couple examples.
00:39:53.780There is another case in the news today involving an innocent American injured by leftist policies and the failure to institutionalize is 100 percent a leftist issue.
00:40:12.720I think most conservatives are beyond ready to see these facilities brought back and to see liberal sentencing of the established mentally ill and dangerous to these facilities.
00:40:29.280In any event, there was testimony on Capitol Hill yesterday.
00:40:34.460Maybe you saw the soundbite because it went viral of a father.
00:48:43.440It was closing to the hearing, which they had a mini trial on for some reason back over the summer, you know, because we took it live in its entirety.
00:48:52.080Well, the judge, Graff, of course, found that there was probable cause to hold Tyler Robinson over for trial.
