1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,359 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Last week, I read a note from a friend who 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: took some issue with my pro marriage perspective. Today, I'm 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: going to read a note from a listener that I 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: also want to explore. I'm going to cut out some 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,440 Speaker 1: parts of the email where he gives identifying information. I 7 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: grew up reading the New York Post, and I started 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: following your articles during the COVID period, where you seem 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: to be one of the only people making sense. I 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: also agree with all your other points on school choice, 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: merit based admissions, and anti. 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: Wokeness in general. 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: I started listening to your podcast and particularly enjoy the monologues, 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: and it was a very smart strategy to keep all 15 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: episodes under thirty minutes, which is perfect for a typical commute. 16 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: Good job with that. 17 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: One thing I don't agree with you on, however, is 18 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: your stance on marriage, especially for men. One thing that 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: also happened to me during the COVID years I got divorced. 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: It is tough for me to even type that. 21 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Word, not by my choice. With two kids in preschool. 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: I fully understand the point you and your guests keep 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: stressing that you are better off in life, especially financially, 24 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: if you follow the path of graduation, marriage, kids. That 25 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: is what I did For most people. That works. But 26 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: one thing you failed to mention is that if and 27 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: when it doesn't work, the family court laws are so 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: stacked against men that they can be near ruined financially, 29 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: not to mention emotionally by the decisions of another that 30 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: they have absolutely no control of. This is doubly as 31 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: bad if you have kids, and triply as bad if 32 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: you were the sole source of income or if there 33 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: was a large income disparity. Yes, part of the answer 34 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: is to be more careful will you marry, But even so, 35 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: people can change their mind, especially after major life changes 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: such as having kids were relocating. The divorce courts don't 37 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: really require a reason, but the higher earner, usually the man, 38 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: is still responsible for certain things financially, mainly child support, 39 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: even if he has fifty percent or more child placement, 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: or the woman gets remarried to someone wealthy. There are 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: no exceptions in that case. One partner can change their 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: mind and back out of a contract, essentially get rewarded 43 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: for it, and then continue to get rewarded. Any system 44 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: that allows that to be the case is a broken 45 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: system and should not be recommended. The same topic has 46 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: come up in your Twitter comments before, so I know 47 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm not the only guy that feels this way. I 48 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: wish this topic would be discussed more, especially as a 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: warning to young men. It's not about staying single forever 50 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: to party or sleep around. It's about protecting yourself. 51 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: End quote. 52 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: I do hear this perspective from men a lot, and 53 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about it. I'm not a lawyer, 54 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: and I admit this system does sound very broken. I 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: know there's also the child custody laws that very much 56 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: favor the women. I've heard this from men before. I 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: don't know the solution to fixing the courts, and obviously 58 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: each individual situation is different. By the way, If you 59 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: do have a solution to fixing the courts, I'd love 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: to hear from you. I'd love to read more about it. 61 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: If you've got something to tell me, email me or 62 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: tweet at me. But when I talk about marriage being 63 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: a good thing, I'm obviously talking in broader strokes. I'm 64 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: very sorry you're marriage didn't work out, and I really 65 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: understand the pain when you did all you could to 66 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: make it work. My question here would be what will 67 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: you tell your own kids? Will you tell them to 68 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: spend their lives alone and not get married. 69 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 3: Not have children. 70 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Yes, the marriage contract comes with risks, but it also 71 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: comes with a lot of rewards that I have outlined 72 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: in previous columns and on this show. It's not perfect. 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: There is no perfect. I want people to know that 74 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: I hear them. I know it's not easy, and we're 75 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: all trying to move towards something better. I'm going to 76 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: be thinking about this whether men get a bad bargain 77 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: in marriage despite all the obvious benefits, and I'll try 78 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: to address it in future episodes. Coming up next and 79 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: interview with Jesse Kelly. Join us after the break. 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio.

No big deal. 91 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: I don't want to brag, you know, no big deal. 92 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 4: I thought it was really good. I thought it was 93 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 4: a very well done book. And you know, some humble 94 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 4: Jesse kellyness came through in every page, and I think 95 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 4: that's what it's really all about. 96 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 5: Well, I'm all about humility, Carol. I try to make 97 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 5: sure that I lead with my humility, which is incredible. 98 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 4: So I know who you are and I know what 99 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: you do. But to tell my listeners about you, I 100 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 4: know our mutual friend Michael Berry, who, by the way, 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 4: is way too busy to come on my show, so 102 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 4: we had to settle for you played some. 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: Role in getting you involved in radio. 104 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 3: Tell us how it happened, he did. 105 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 5: He played a big role. So I don't traditionally do 106 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 5: media like I'm not a media person. I've lived a 107 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 5: very normal life like everyone else. We're construction. I came 108 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 5: up in a construction family, marines. I've washed dishes, you know. 109 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 5: And before I was doing this, I was selling RV's, 110 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 5: which is a job I found on Craigslist. I had 111 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 5: moved to Texas. I was out of work. This is 112 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 5: like ten years ago. I was out of work. I 113 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 5: couldn't find a job on Craigslist. I found an ad 114 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 5: for RV salesman. I went and showed up at the 115 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: interview and got the job. I'd be pretty good at it, 116 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 5: So I was selling arms. I was good at it, Yeah, 117 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 5: I was. I was surprised to I never sold anything. 118 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 5: But the job eventually took me down to Houston, Texas 119 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 5: to be the sales manager at some store down here 120 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 5: in Houston. And I was getting I was still active 121 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 5: every now and then. I love politics, right, I was 122 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 5: always paying attention. But I was putting some things online. 123 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 5: And Michael Berry is a huge nationally syndicated conservative talk 124 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 5: guy from Houston. 125 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: I did not know him. 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 5: I did not know at the time, but he saw 127 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 5: something I'd put out on Twitter actually, and had his 128 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 5: people send me a message, say, hey, you want to 129 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 5: come on my show do a radio hit, just talk 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 5: about and I forget even what it was about. Sure 131 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 5: I go on a show, it goes well. I mean, 132 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: I've done a bunch of radio and TV. Because I'd 133 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 5: run for Congress, I guess I should have put that 134 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 5: in there. 135 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: I'd run for. 136 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 5: Congress twice in Arizona, and he's got mad and ran 137 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 5: for office. I do stupid impulsive things all the time. 138 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 5: I won the primary twice, lost the general election twice. Anyway, Well, 139 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 5: I go on Barry's show and I'd done radio, and 140 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 5: I was in my RV lot, actually in the sales room. 141 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 5: I'm doing a radio hit. I hang up the phone. 142 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 5: Don't think of it. I go back selling our vs. 143 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 5: That night, I'm heading home. I'm in the mood for 144 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 5: something pretty classy. So I go to Taco Bell and 145 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 5: I'm sitting there and Taco Bell's driving. 146 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 2: What's your order? 147 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 3: I talk about. 148 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: Okay, I have the best order. So everyone needs to 149 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 5: pay attention here. First of all, two orders of nachos 150 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 5: every time, just the chips and cheese. You don't have 151 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 5: to go Bell Grande or something like that. Two orders 152 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 5: of nachos every time. Get a beef casadilla with extra 153 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 5: jalapeno sauce. 154 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: That's an option. A lot of people don't know that's 155 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: an option. 156 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 5: That's an option, beef, extra halipedo sauce. And then you 157 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 5: get the cheesy gordy to crunch with no lettuce. I'm 158 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 5: not ordering a salad, and actually a spicy ranch. No 159 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 5: let us extra spicy ranch. A bunch of Diablo sauce, 160 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 5: mountain dew.

I really am surprised that all this worked. 233 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 5: You know, when I quit my job, we were running 234 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 5: out of money quickly and things were what didn't look 235 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 5: like anything was going to work. I was gonna have 236 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 5: to go back and sell our vs, right, and it 237 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 5: all worked. I just can't believe it works.

I always did what I had 250 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: to do to pay my bills and feed my family 251 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 5: and get by. You know, I always thought I was 252 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 5: going to work construction my whole life, like my dad did, 253 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 5: like his dad did. And then I ran for office 254 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 5: a couple of times. I never knew I was going 255 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 5: to do that. Again, I make stupid, impulsive decisions. I 256 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 5: didn't know I was going to do that. I didn't 257 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 5: know I was going to find a job on Craigslist. 258 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 5: I don't know what I would do. 259 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 3: I don't know. 260 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 5: And look, I'll probably get fired for saying something offensive 261 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: at some point, so I'll probably have to figure that out. 262 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: Right, I think you just start thinking about it. 263 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I never thought about it. 264 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 5: But I never felt I never felt settled with whatever 265 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 5: I was doing until I started doing this. You know, 266 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: I hear doing the job. It's not an important job, right, 267 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 5: I do radio on TV. I don't have an important job. 268 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 5: I'm not a celebrity. 269 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: I'm not. 270 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 5: But the fact that the show means something to people 271 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 5: means everything to me.

I think it helps me 334 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: be more creative for the more. 335 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 4: We're going to take a quick break and be right 336 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 4: back on the Carol Marcowitch Show. I like to look 337 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 4: back at what I tweeted, like ten years ago and 338 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 4: be like, look, I was right. 339 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: But that's another story. 340 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 4: But so about a month ago, maybe you tweeted this 341 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 4: thing and I could get the details wrong because I 342 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: don't have the tweet. But it was a navy seal 343 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: I believe ended up in the water in the ocean 344 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: and his buddy, another Navy seal, jumped in after him. 345 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: Is that the correct stories. 346 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: That that is the correct seat. 347 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: You tweeted? 348 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: Like, how do we raise our sons to be the 349 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 4: kind of men that would just jump into the water 350 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 4: and save their friend. Couple of things about this one. 351 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 4: This is probably where men and women are different, because 352 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: my first instinct is like, please don't jump into that water, 353 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 4: like please just save yourself, Like I can't not have 354 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: you come home. And but on the other hand, I 355 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 4: understand what you're saying. 356 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: You want to raise the. 357 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: Kind of men that will jump in the water and 358 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 4: save their friend or try to. And of course the 359 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: sad story here is that they both died. 360 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: So how do we do that? How do we raise 361 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: those men? 362 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: Carol? I don't know, but I want to know, right, 363 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. And you know, look, if one of. 364 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 5: My sons died, I would just diet, would just break 365 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 5: and I would die. 366 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 3: Right. 367 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 5: So it's not like I want my kids to dive 368 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 5: into the ocean. But a good life is better than 369 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 5: a long life, right. And to watch a friend go 370 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 5: into the scariest place on earth, the open ocean, which 371 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 5: I love. Don't get me wrong, I love it, yeah, 372 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 5: But part of the reason I love it is how 373 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 5: terrifying it is. It can swallow you up and will 374 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 5: and a harpbeat, It can swallow you ships up and 375 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 5: it will. To watch a friend go into the deep 376 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 5: like that and you just go immediately after him, and 377 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 5: that there's something inside of you that I want inside 378 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 5: of my sons, you know. I want to know what 379 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 5: I have to do as a father to raise sons 380 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 5: to be that kind of man. Now, I talk to 381 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 5: them about those stories, and maybe that's part of it. 382 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 5: Maybe that's part of it, telling telling them about those 383 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 5: men and holding those men up in front of them 384 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: and showing them this is what you want to be. 385 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 5: That's what a man does. Maybe that's it. Maybe I 386 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 5: don't know what it is, but I want it for sure. 387 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: So a question that I ask all of my guests 388 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 4: is what do you think is our largest societal or 389 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 4: cultural problem? 390 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: And do you think it's solvable? 391 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: Of course it's solvable. Well it is. This country moved 392 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 5: away from God. We moved totally away from God, and 393 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 5: we broke up the family because of it. The American family, 394 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 5: any well, any nation. Nations are built on families, not 395 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 5: not all the tranny craft or anything else. Men marrying women, 396 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: raising their children in a happy home home is what 397 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 5: builds nations large and small. 398 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: It is. 399 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 5: It's what builds nations. When you break up the church, 400 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 5: which is wi happened in this country, and you move 401 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 5: away from God, then you'll move away from the family. 402 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 5: Now that the family's shattered, the nation itself gets shattered. 403 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 5: I mean, you look at a poll after poll after 404 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: poll of people who support the most despicable things in 405 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 5: this country, you know, chopping off a kid's penis or 406 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 5: something like that. It's single women, it's not married women. 407 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 5: I love to give women a bunch of crap and 408 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 5: say they shouldn't have the right to vote. 409 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: But I'm joking about that. Married and women are great. 410 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 5: Single women are the beating heart of all this demonic 411 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 5: filth in this country. And we tell women they should 412 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 5: be single forever. Not that not that there's a problem 413 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 5: with being single, right, some people that's their life. But 414 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 5: as a whole, as a nation, you tell men that 415 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 5: women are crap, You tell the women that men are crap. 416 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 5: Now they're starting to go this way. They're going opposite directions. 417 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 5: They hate each other. People email me all the time, Jesse, 418 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 5: I'm a woman. 419 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 3: I can't find a man. Jesse, I'm a man. I 420 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: can't find a woman. 421 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 5: So they're racing opposite direction now, and that's killing us. 422 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 5: It's killing us that they're racing opposite directions. We broke 423 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 5: up the American family and that's what's breaking up the country. 424 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 4: But you think it's solvable, I mean, I don't see 425 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 4: you as a big optimist, So just the fact that 426 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 4: you started with the fact that it is solvable is 427 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: surprising to me. 428 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: Well, God is God, isn't he? So what do we do. 429 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 5: Well, either we get back to that or it's not solvable. 430 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 5: There's not a second way. You know, there's not a 431 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 5: constitution that's going to save us. There's not an election 432 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 5: that's going to save us. We'll just elect this guy 433 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 5: and he'll fix it all without all that's all. 434 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: That's nonsense, All that's crap. That's not true. 435 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 5: That there's no guy that's going to come in and 436 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 5: save the country and clean everything up and fix everything. 437 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: That's a pipe dream. That's a cope, is what that is. For. 438 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 3: How bad things are. 439 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 5: We either choose to be more purposeful with our lives 440 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 5: and better with our lives, each and every one of us, 441 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 5: or we're finished. And tell people all the times they 442 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 5: want to get involved and they want to fix everything. 443 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 3: Jesse, how do I fix it? Jesse? How do I 444 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: fix us? 445 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 5: Are you raising your kids, you go into work, you're 446 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 5: teaching people values. 447 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: Then you're saving the country. 448 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 5: These people, these salt of the earth people, the nuclear 449 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 5: family is what's holding this country together at all. Right now, 450 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 5: you're already doing it. Keep doing it and do more 451 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 5: of it. And people ask me if I have regrets 452 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 5: in life, and I have many, because I've screwed up 453 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 5: so many things in my life and done so many 454 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 5: horrible things. But one of my biggest regrets in life, honestly, 455 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: is I wish I'd had more kids. We had our 456 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 5: first James, happy and healthy, and then we had a 457 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 5: miscarriage for the second one, and I know a lot 458 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 5: of people watching have gone through that, and it hurts, right, 459 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 5: it hurts real, real bad, real bad. We still talk 460 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 5: about it, still think about it. And then we had 461 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 5: our second Luke, happy and healthy, and we were so 462 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 5: relieved that we had a second, happy, healthy one that 463 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 5: we just said, Okay, I can't do I can't risk 464 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 5: it anymore. 465 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 3: I'm not going to risk it anymore. I'm done. 466 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 5: That's called a day, it's called to day. I wish 467 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 5: I'd had ten. That's how wonderful it is to be 468 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 5: a father, and how wonderful those boys are, and how 469 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 5: important it is for the country. 470 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 4: I agree, anybody listening and thinking about having another kid, 471 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 4: and if you have the time, do it, because I 472 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: think that's a common regret. We have three kids, I 473 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 4: wish we had had more. You know why stop? 474 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: Really? 475 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 4: I get the not wanting to tempt fate and. 476 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 6: You're you know, you have two perfect children already and 477 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 6: you don't want to you know, you worry about having 478 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 6: loss but if you're listening and you're thinking about it, 479 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 6: you know, have more kids. 480 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 4: Jesse Kelly is not always right, but he's right about this. 481 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 4: So tell me your best tip for my listeners on 482 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 4: how they can improve their lives.

Women in particular struggle with this, but 491 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 5: I see dudes around it. People will allow people with 492 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 5: others to stay in their lives. Who just bloodsuck you 493 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 5: of energy.
