August 24 Anne Hathaway Wants to Destroy Western Civilization
Excerpts from a speech by Anne Hathaway are making the rounds in both leftist and conservative circles, and I was asked to do a response video. In this episode, I break down all of the problems with Hathaway's statements, the dangerous ideologies behind her nice-sounding words, and equip you with the information and arguments you need to combat this nice-sounding but deeply evil and destructive ideology.

August 20 The Real Reason a Mother Who Killed Her Three Kids Became a Martyr
A woman strangles her three children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old baby — with exercise bands in her basement. And right now, there is a national movement campaigning for her to walk free.
Not “hoping she gets help.” Not “praying for the family.” Freeing her.
Her name is Lindsay Clancy. The hashtags are #FreeLindsay and #FreeHer. And the question this case forces you to answer isn’t whether she’s guilty — she did it, and nobody disputes it — it’s why a society that would burn a father alive for the exact same crime is organizing to make a mother into a martyr.
That answer has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with how we’ve been trained to see women. Let me show you what’s actually happening in that courtroom.

August 18 The Real Reason You Can't Afford a House…or anything else
The data says young people were sold one deal and delivered another. "Do well in school, work hard, follow the rules, climb the ladder — and the American Dream is yours." Then the number that makes the lie undeniable: the suicide rate for Americans aged 10–24 rose 62% from 2007 to 2021. Not because they're soft. Because the deal was renegotiated behind their backs — in 1971.

August 13 Who is to Blame for the Dating Crisis?
Why does the dating market suck, and why are marriage and fertility rates down?… Well, by the time a boy in this country turns 18, he has already been suspended twice as often, diagnosed with a learning disability three times as often, and told none of it matters because he’s a boy. For 30 years we’ve been told the story that men are the problem - they’re immature, they’re not stepping up. The data says something almost nobody’s willing to say out loud: the men are reading the numbers correctly, and the story is the lie.
