Summary

In the Wednesday Night Live on 17 December 2025, Stefan Molyneux discusses personal responsibility and how society plays a role in child abuse. He sets the record straight on some past remarks about public figures, talks with callers about their experiences with childhood trauma and how it affects relationships, and pushes people to face up to their own involvement in abuse. He stresses the need for healing and asks for support to help the show promote empathy and change in society.
