1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: This is going to sound harsh, and I know it,

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: but I think women like Rachel Reeves need to stop

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: crying in public. I've said it. This is the biggest

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: news that is in the UK at the moment. Their Chancellor,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: who is basically the equivalent of our Nikola Willis, started

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: crying in parliament. Now I feel veriou I do. I

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: feel really sorry for her because it looks like she

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: is going to probably end up taking the fall for

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: a man's incompetence because Keir Starmer, her Prime Minister, is

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: weak and is giving into a rebellion and has forced

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: a U turn on her, thereby undermining her fiscal plans.

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: And then, after all of that, after doing all of

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: that to her, humiliating her in public, what then happened

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: in parliament is what sparked the tears. He was asked

15
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: whether after all of the humiliation he's put her through,

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: he's going to keep her in the job, and he

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: would not confirm that he would keep her in the job.

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: And she's sitting directly behind him. The cameras capture it.

19
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Her face crumbles, the tears start rolling, and it is hard.

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: You'd have to be heartless not to feel for the

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: woman because it is incredibly clear that she is trying

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: so hard not to cry, but she cannot help her.

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: But women have got to stop crying in public. If

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: you cannot stop yourself crying in public because it is

25
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: too much, get up, leave the room, do it privately.

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I was reading Jainta's book last night again I mean

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: talk about crying. There's another crier, And in it she

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: tells the story of being pregnant and talking to a

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: successful corporate woman at a function and she couldn't find

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: a word that she was looking for, and she said

31
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: to the woman, oh, baby, brain, and then she laughed,

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: and the woman didn't laugh. The woman looked at her

33
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: with a stern face and said to her, you can

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: never say that. You can never say that. And the

35
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: reason is because it's obvious. Because if she says that

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: in public, Jasinda Ardourn's opponents would have seized on it,

37
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: but also people in general would have seized on it

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: as an example that women cannot do significant jobs while

39
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: being pregnant and being mums. And the same is unfortunately

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: true for Rachel Reeves. There will be people who will

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: seize on this as an example that women cannot handle

42
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: significant and stressful because women are inherently more emotional. Now

43
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: I realize that what I am saying is controversial because

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: we have been told time and time again by people

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: like John Kerwin that we're not supposed to bottle things

46
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: up and we are supposed to talk about it. But

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: I think we've gone completely in the other direction. We're

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: now at risk of oversharing everything that we're feeling. By

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: all means, talk about it. Talk to the people closest

50
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: to you, Cry all you like behind closed doors to them.

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: But if you're going to cry in public, leave the room,

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: especially for God's sake if you're a woman in a

53
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: big job, because it reflects on all women. For more
