In this explosive episode of Gen Z Unplugged, Emily Jashinsky pulls back the curtain on the chaos Biden’s immigration policies unleashed — and the political and moral mess Trump now inherits. From cartel-fueled child labor rings to rogue judges blocking reform, we explore how deep the rot goes. Emily doesn't sugarcoat it: the culture must change before politics ever will.
She also dives into the real fight behind defunding Planned Parenthood, the illusion of "legal" migration, and why being logical — not emotional — is the only way forward.

In this episode of Gen Z Unplugged, we expose the shocking reality behind today’s therapy programs — from sadomasochism in syllabi to affirming minors for gender transitions. Reacting to an interview with Naomi Epps Best on Allie Beth Stuckey’s "Relatable," we dive into the disturbing trend of sexually explicit and ideologically charged content infiltrating graduate-level counseling programs.
Why are Christian universities promoting BDSM as therapy prep? Why are future therapists being trained to affirm radical gender ideology — even for children? And most importantly, where can Gen Z women turn for real, truth-based mental health care?
If you think therapy is a safe space… think again.
