| 0:00.0 | Today, the Matt Wall Show, a sex scandal among conservative influencers perfectly illustrates why many young men are reluctant to get married and have children, but they still should, even in spite of the risks, and I'll make that argument today. |
| 0:11.0 | Also, tragedy strikes the nation as the Washington Post lays off hundreds of useless journalists. |
| 0:17.0 | Bill Gates tries to explain his appearance in the Epstein Files, and a woke school board member brings a school board meeting to a halt |
| 0:23.3 | so that she can lecture someone for using the term homeless. |
| 0:26.2 | Apparently unhoused is the preferred term, |
| 0:28.6 | although nobody can explain why. |
| 0:29.9 | All of that, and more today on the Matt Wall Show. When the new year began, I decided that one of my goals for this show this year would be to make an even more aggressive defense of marriage and family life and to encourage people to have a lot of children. |
| 1:08.9 | Because if we're going to save Western civilization, |
| 1:11.3 | that is the only way to do it. And these are topics that, of course, we discuss fairly often in |
| 1:16.1 | various contexts, and for good reason. Marriage is a sacrament. It's the foundation of the family, |

| 1:28.9 | preaching for as long as I've had a platform to preach it from, and advance it in an even |
| 1:34.4 | more deliberate way. And we were going to talk about some of the potential pitfalls, as we often do, |
| 1:40.0 | while focusing on the importance of finding a spouse and raising a family. And that was the plan |
| 1:46.1 | starting this week. And then the Elijah Schaefer scandal surfaced, revealing that Schaefer, |
| 1:53.4 | a conservative commentator who is married and has children, was apparently having an affair |
| 1:57.4 | with Sarah Stock, who's a conservative commentator, and who at the time was dating |
| 2:01.8 | the man that she would eventually marry. This has been interesting timing because it's a story |
| 2:07.3 | that perfectly illustrates the counter argument, the reason why so many young people are so |
| 2:13.8 | reluctant to get married and have children in the first place. Now, as to the specifics of |
| 2:18.3 | this scandal, I'll go into a few of the details in a moment, not because this is a drama channel, |
| 2:23.8 | but because it's the kind of thing we must contend with that we want to make the case for marriage |
