| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the show, everybody. Thanks for watching. So let me just say to start with here that I |
| 0:08.2 | I am very sympathetic to parents because I am a parent. I've got three kids. I know how difficult |
| 0:15.8 | it is to be a parent or I should say we back up for a minute because parents always like to say |
| 0:21.6 | well being a parent is the hardest job in the world. I've said it myself. That's true with a |
| 0:28.0 | qualifier to raise a child to be a good person in this degenerate disgusting culture. That is the |
| 0:37.8 | hardest job of the world for sure. That is a 24 seven never sleep, round the clock, relentless, |
| 0:43.1 | stressful heart breaking, a strenuous job that it just never never ends and it involve every fiber |

| 1:45.3 | raising their kids to be good people. They're more worried about well they need to be a good student, |
| 1:50.4 | they need to get good grades. We got to get them into a good college. We got to make sure they get |
| 1:54.4 | a good career. There are parents who aren't worried about any of this stuff whatsoever. But there are |
| 1:59.5 | plenty of parents who are worried about that. But in terms of the state of their child's soul, |
