It was funny because it was 13 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: like forty two degrees and everyone was freezing button me, 14 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: which I never get to experience because I'm the wimpy 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: Southerner here. But in Texas, I was like, I'm fine, 16 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: I'm fine. 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: I did this thing on Friday where I took the 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: day off, and I know, you know, adults listening to 19 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: this know that you never really take a day off, right, 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: even when you're off from work, you're still thinking about 21 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: But every time I started to think about anything, I'd 22 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: be like, no, I'm focusing on my book.

I love it, right, And yeah, I. 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: Don't know how you managed no sports in one day, 28 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: but congratulations. 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: Well we had. 30 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Six sports activities over the weekend. I should say one 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: of our kids had five of them. 32 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: My gosh, he is such a killer. 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: He's uh, he's something, all right, Oh my goodness. 34 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Alrighty, shall we get to the news, in which we 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: talk once again about one of our least favorite characters 36 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: in the legacy media, Margaret Brennan. 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: Margaret, what are you? 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: Margret? What's happening? Margaret? 39 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 3: You have fallen apart. 40 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: You'll remember Margaret Brennan from cutting JD Vance's mic during 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: the vice presidential debate. You'll remember Margaret Brennan from having 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: her ass handed to her frankly, please every time jd 43 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: Vance shows up on her Sunday show. And now we 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: have Margaret Brennan asking Secretary of State Marco Rubio this question. 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 4: Well, he was standing in a country where free speech 46 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: was weaponized to conduct a genocide, and he met with 47 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 4: the head of a political party that has far right 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 4: views and some historic ties to extreme groups. The context 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: of that was changing the tone of it. And you 50 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 4: know that that the censorship. 51 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 5: Disagree with you specifically about the right now, I have 52 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 5: to disagree with you. Free speech was not used to 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 5: conduct the genocide. The genocide was conducted by a Miraitarian 54 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 5: Nazi regime that happened to also be genocidal because they 55 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 5: hated Jews, and they hated minorities, and they hated those 56 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 5: that they had a list of people they hated, but 57 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 5: primarily the Jews. There was no free speech in Nazi Germany. 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 5: There was none. There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 5: They were a sole and only party that governed that country. 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 5: So that's not an accurate reflection of history. 61 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 3: I mean, what what? 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny because Rubio is very diplomatic 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: over there. 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Is I admire him keeping a straight face during that question. 65 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: Yes, but I only think he was completely unprepared for that. 66 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: I've never heard anyone make the argument that free speech 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: was the problem in Nazi Germany before, and I was 68 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: quite surprised to hear it now, so I'm sure he 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: was also like wait what. 70 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, now this was the free press. The free press. 71 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: Margaret Brennan's response over at CBS to jd Vance giving 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: a speech in German in Europe that said, Hey, you 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: guys actually don't do the free speech very well. You're 74 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: putting people in jail for online postings and tweets. You 75 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: have people who investigate people for praying outside abortion clinics, 76 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: although the Biden administration did some of that too, So 77 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: he's targeting a real problem that Europe has, where it 78 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: does not have a commitment to free speech in the 79 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: way that we do. Yeah, thank goodness for the First Amendment, 80 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: because I'm sure are lefties, as illustrated by Margaret Brennan 81 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: would be happy to take our free speech away. And 82 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: this is her response to him calling out Europe for 83 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: not having free speech, is like, well, didn't free speech 84 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: cause the Holocaust? Have you ever thought about that? 85 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: It's just it's wild. 86 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 2: And so you had people on X defending her like 87 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: MSNBC vice president of Editorial and Booking Jesse Rodriguez, and 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: I should say Jesse and I follow each other, which 89 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: you know, immediately warms. 90 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: Me to people. 91 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 2: Right, of course, I was like, wait what he tweeted? 92 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: The Zazi regime used mass media, including newspapers, radio films, 93 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 2: and public speeches to spread anti Semitic conspiracy theories, to 94 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: humanize Jews and incite violence. I was like, they also 95 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: used trains to transport Jews to camps. Perhaps we should 96 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: blame the trains. And you know the thing is, they're 97 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: not talking about free speech here, they're. 98 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 3: Just talking about speech. The Nazis used words. Perhaps we 99 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: should no longer use words lest we be like the Nazis. 100 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: Mary Catherine. 101 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a term for this called the Weimar fallacy, 102 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: which is the idea that, yes, hate speech quite clearly 103 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: did flourish in the preceding time to Nazism, but Germany 104 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: at that time had hate speech laws. They prosecuted people 105 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: for hate speech. And one of the historical findings is 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: that in fact, that made a bunch of them murtyrs 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: and made that speech more interesting to people because it 108 00:05:54,400 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: was forbidden. It's so the whole thing is so laughably ignorant, 109 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: and I think it's reverse engineered by people in media 110 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: who think, well, speech I don't like and can't control, 111 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: leads inevitably to Nazism, political violence, and genocide. Therefore, Nazis 112 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: liked free speech, you are a Nazi if you like 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: free speech? Is that in the state? 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: What It's just, it's mind boggling. I tell this story 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: to the Normies in your life, because I did, and 116 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: it was just a very good time getting them to 117 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: hear this. 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: Britan went to UVA. Do you think there's any Thomas 119 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: Jefferson writings about the importance of free speech that she 120 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: could have perused during her time at that elite university. 121 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's actually amazing. But you know what is 122 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: somewhat surprisingly more amazing is that I watched the sixty 123 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: Minutes segment, another of our free American presses responses to 124 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: JD Vance's speech in Europe about Germany's speech police right now. 125 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, they literally have speech police in Germany, and 126 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: sixty Minutes does a feature on it. It is thirteen 127 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: minutes long. You should find it and watch the whole 128 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: thing to get a sense of where our press is 129 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: on this issue. I don't think there's a critical question 130 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: in the entire thirteen minutes, except at the very end, 131 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: where I was like Oh, she's going to get there. 132 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: She's going to say, should you be starring people in 133 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: jail for Facebook posts? Nope, that wasn't the question. Her 134 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: question was, you know, there's just so much hate, is 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: it possible to really make a dent in it with 136 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: your arrests and prosecutions. That was the question that this 137 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: sixty Minutes reporter had. Throughout this feature. We find out 138 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: that insulting people in the street or on Facebook or 139 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: x or any social media is illegal in Germany. We 140 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: find out that there are sixteen teams of prosecutors across 141 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: the country currently, you know, that's her question, currently working 142 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: on thirty five hundred cases. Sixty Minutes goes with the 143 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: German authorities, which is a very scary phrase in and 144 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: of itself, to a private home on a six am 145 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: raid with six armed officers over a Facebook post, at 146 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: which point they seize the phone and computer of this 147 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: private citizen. Again, the reporter doesn't have any questions about this. 148 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: In fact, she's like, she asked them, are people surprised 149 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: that this is illegal? When you go pick them up? 150 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: And the prosecutors sort of laugh like har har har, Yes, 151 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: they think it's like crazy that we can take their phone, 152 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: but we take it. 153 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 154 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: And this is our press media who is super concerned 155 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: about Donald Trump and our democracy and all of that 156 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: being supportive of this. 157 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing, right, is that I get 158 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: annoyed with Trump sometimes for making me stick up for 159 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: like the Associated Press, where I'm like, look on the 160 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: Gulf of America thing, you're doing viewpoint discrimination. You can't 161 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: do that, like figure it out. Don't bully people in 162 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: this way, even if I don't like this particular organization, right, 163 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: but you're telling me that these people have a commitment 164 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: to free speech. They do that. Yeah, they're happy with 165 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: the rember Nina Jankowitz of the Disinformation Governance born inside 166 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security that Biden created. They were 167 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: perfectly happy to have that woman decide what we could 168 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: say and what we could. 169 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: Not, right. 170 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, And they spent the four Biden years like trying 171 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: to get social media to shut down speech that they 172 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: didn't like, and it ran the gamut from you know, 173 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: Hunter laptop, but also any skepticism on any part of 174 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: the COVID stuff, which obviously you know, yes, we're still mad, bro, 175 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 2: and an actual government, American government tried to get social 176 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: media to curtail the speech of American citizens. 177 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 3: So of course they're looking at Germany and. 178 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: Being like, wow, we could just seize their phones and 179 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: then they won't be able to say anything. Hahuh. 180 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: This whole piece is just envy over Germany's speech policing laws. 181 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: And I think my favorite part, I think we can 182 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: play the clip. My favorite part is when the woman 183 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: says with a German accent that you know they're solving 184 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: this problem because people are scared to speak online about 185 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: their opinions. But she's saying they're scared to speak because 186 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: there's not enough prosecution of speech. It's like, girl, you 187 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 1: are the problem. 188 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 6: Free speech needs boundaries, and in the case of Germany, 189 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 6: these boundaries are part of our constitution. Without boundaries, a 190 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 6: very small group of people can rely on endless freedom 191 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 6: to say anything that they want, while everyone else is 192 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 6: scared and intimidated. 193 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: In your fears that if people are freely attacked online 194 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: that they'll withdraw from the discussion. 195 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 6: This is not only a fear, it's already taking place. Already. 196 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: Half of the Internet users in Germany are afraid to 197 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 6: express their political opinion and they rarely participate in public 198 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: debates online anymore? Half of the Internet users. 199 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: Are they scared to speak because their neighbors going to 200 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: be mean to them or because they're going to get arrested? 201 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 1: Hard to say, yeah, yeah, she's like standing there with handcuffs, Like, 202 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: I don't know why they're scared, Like what my mind 203 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: was blown? 204 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: Yeah? 205 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: Watch it all if you get a chance this week. Yeah. 206 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: The clips that I've seen on x are just you know, 207 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 3: bad enough, but this sounds this sounds extra bad. 208 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: Like over at CBS, do they have German authorities coming 209 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: to educate them on how they could better police our speech? 210 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: Because that's what it seems. 211 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: Like, right, they're like, this is how we do it. 212 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: You should do the same. 213 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: I is just and so again going back to the JD. 214 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: Van's speech, which was a great speech. 215 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: And reiterated the values that I would think that our 216 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: liberals would before it became this whole Like, how dare 217 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: he talk to our allies that way? Well, our allies 218 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,719 Speaker 2: are getting off the path of freedom and re expression. 219 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: It's okay to kind of nudge them back onto. Hey, 220 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: maybe people can say whatever they want online and maybe 221 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: you should just accept that. 222 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: I am just I know I shouldn't be shocked, Yeah, 223 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: but I am shocked. Yeah, but I am shocked that 224 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: a contemporary of mine, I believe Brendan and I are 225 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the exact same age, went to American universities, were educated, 226 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: and basically the same way. She probably went to a 227 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: nice like private school. But you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 228 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: and at the end of that, you come out in 229 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: journalism and this is your take on free speech, right, 230 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: but that so much of the left has just accepted 231 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: this as well, like we want to control the speech 232 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: because we do the good speech and you do the 233 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: speech right. 234 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: And they think that's going to work, and I don't 235 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: think that it will. Actually, I think people know that 236 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: their speech is not the good speech is not just 237 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: one kind of speech that's the good speech. 238 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: And our whole thing is based on freedom of speech. 239 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 3: Like look right into our constitution, look at the First Amendment. 240 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: And it's not a coincidence. 241 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: I think that our forefathers understood that this would be 242 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 2: a problem, that some people would think that their speech 243 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: is acceptable and your speech is not. So they preempted 244 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: all of that, and thank goodness for them. 245 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: Well in COVID is such a good example of a 246 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: time when we weren't allowed to speak freely, and as 247 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: a result, we did not come to good conclusions right right, 248 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: because you have to be able to toss around some 249 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: ideas to come to correct conclusions to figure out what 250 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: truth is, and we were not allowed to do that 251 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: during COVID because of a German authority style censorship program, 252 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: which again the media loves apparently. 253 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 3: Right, let's not follow Germany. 254 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: I like it's okay to say that, let's not follow 255 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 2: Germany day. 256 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: That's really not, that's really not. 257 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: We'll be right back on normally. 258 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: The Libs cried a lot over JD Vance's speech, which 259 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: again I think it's powerful and good, and I love 260 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: the clarity of saying these are the things that are 261 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: important that we believe you guys are not observing these. 262 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: He also talked about mass migration, which is something that 263 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, the normies of Germany and the rest of 264 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: Europe listen to JD Vance and go, yeah, that is 265 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: something we need to work on, that these populations are 266 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: not assimilated, that we have no go zones in our 267 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: major cities in European capitals. So I like that he 268 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: speaks frankly, he is not doing the Biden thing, which 269 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: is just like me, We're America. I'm going to give 270 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: a Millie Mouse speech about like how we should probably 271 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: be like a little ashamed of ourselves. We're not doing that. 272 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: It's a new era. It's a vibe shift, it is. 273 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: And on Saturday night there was a whole other part 274 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: of the vibe shift, which was the USA Canada hockey 275 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: face off in the Four Nations tournament, hosted in Montreal. Montreal, 276 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: as you can imagine, of the Canadian cities, not the 277 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: most friendly to the Trump administration era America. Right, And look, 278 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: I want to say, Canada, I think it's fine for 279 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: you to be annoyed by this fifty first state time. Sure, yeah, 280 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: we like to see you annoyed by that. We like 281 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: to see you like and standing up for yourself, right, 282 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, But they booed the national anthem 283 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: in Canada as the US played its first game against 284 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: Finland on I think Thursday night. We beat Finland six ' 285 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: to one. So when this booing happened, as you might imagine, 286 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: the New York Times was on it, right, Yeah, yes, 287 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: so Team USA angered motivated by booze from Montreal crowd 288 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: at four nations face off. Okay, so what I loved 289 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: about this story is they go to US hockey players 290 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: after having been booed in the like quarterfinals of this 291 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: of this event, to get I think what they thought 292 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: were going to be like nationalistic meathead quotes, and here's 293 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: what they get from these brash, ugly Americans. Are you ready?

They're also proud Americans, and 296 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: it's a privilege to represent your nation and all of 297 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: us that have the opportunity to participate and be part 298 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: of the US team. Okay, here's another one. It means 299 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: a lot to all of us. We just want to 300 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: play hockey, we want to compete, we want to represent 301 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: our nation in the right way. Okay, here's the most 302 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:53,479 Speaker 1: edgy one. I didn't like it and that's all I've got. Okay, 303 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: and then one more. JT. Miller, one of the teammates, says, 304 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: I think we like it, not politically, but maybe just 305 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: as a sense of we know what we're in Canada, 306 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: and I think that fires us up more than anything. 307 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: So it's great. Yeah, there we are there's our terrible 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: quotes from the terrible American right, uh, toxic masculine hockey players. 309 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: So they go into another game Saturday night against Canada. 310 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 3: I heard there were a couple of fights in there. 311 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: There were some booze during the anthem, and then there 312 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: were three fights in the first ninety seconds of this game. 313 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: So apparently they saved their talking for the ice. By 314 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: the way, can I just say one thing about hockey. 315 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: I I like hockey, but I'm not a huge follower 316 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: of it. Of course I am when I'm invested in 317 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: US beating Canada. The idea that A they let them 318 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: fight like that is so fascinating, so funny. Yeah, and 319 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: B you're fistfighting on skates.

There was some talk after 322 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: the game that maybe that was planned by the US players, 323 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: like we're gonna drop our loves just to send a 324 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: message when we get out there. But they also said 325 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: another message was they beat Canada three to one. 326 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that. 327 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 2: I love that America when when they're when we're good 328 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: at sports, we don't care about. 329 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: It's a thing. 330 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 3: It's very fun, you know, and also like living in 331 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 3: Florida and Florida's hockey team. 332 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: You know, the Panthers have been very good for the 333 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: last few years, and it's like very ellwoods get to 334 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: Harvard and being. 335 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: Like, what, like, it's hard what I have to say 336 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: about Canada. 337 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: You know, they're they're having this resurgence of patriotism. That's great, 338 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: but they've always had this nationalistic thing. Like when you 339 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: travel around Europe and you have the Canadians with the 340 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: Canada flag on their backpacks because they don't want to 341 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: be mistaken for American, right, A few guys, you know, like, 342 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: we don't want to be mistaken for you either. 343 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: So I do like the idea that like Canada and 344 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: Europe that somehow being like criticized them is off limits, 345 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: and that they've always been super super deferential to us. Yeah. Oh, 346 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: they're always picking on us and telling us we're terrible, Like, yeah, 347 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: but I did enjoy We just don't care. That's right. 348 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: Difference we are just like and who are you? What 349 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 3: country is that? I've never heard of? 350 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: That one I did enjoy much like nineteen eighty when 351 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: we beat the Soviets in hockey and one of the 352 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: greatest upsets of all time. And you should watch the 353 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: movie Miracle about that. It's a great one. I do 354 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: love that there are nations in this world who are 355 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: really invested as their national identity and being very good 356 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: at hockey, and we're just like nah, nah. 357 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 2: So I enjoyed one of our many sports that were 358 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: good at. 359 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: I had had two drinks, so I just started tweeting 360 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: like nonsense about Canada all night. It's great scoreboard, look 361 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: at the scarboard. Suddenly extremely invested in this Team America 362 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: exhibition game in Canada, so love it. Everybody's crying because 363 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: we won. I do believe there's another round of this tournament. 364 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: All right. Maybe now that I'm very invested in hockey, 365 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: I should probably look into what's happening next. It was 366 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: a good time. 367 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 2: Now that we're huge hockey fans, huge, let's look at 368 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: that calendar and figure out when they're playing again. 369 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: I'll have an update on that. 370 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 2: We're going to take a short break and come right 371 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: back with normally. Well, I think our last topic is 372 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: a quirky one. There is a story coming out right now. 373 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: So there's this thing called trad Wives. 374 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 3: In case anybody's I'm unaware. 375 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: Of this term trad wife should just mean a traditional wife. 376 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: Like what I told the story to my husband, He 377 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: was like, and you're a trad wife, right, I'm like. 378 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: Not in the sense that they mean, no, I think. 379 00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 3: But no, yes, I would never touch the garbage. So yes, 380 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 3: a trad wife like that, but no, not like this. 381 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: But the tradwife concept is submissive to her husband. And 382 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: that's where he's my husband. My husband starts laughing and says, right, exactly. 383 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: She only has. 384 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 2: Forty nine percent of the vote in our house, you know. 385 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: And the trad wife online is. 386 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: Kind of a caricature. 387 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: And I'm opposed to people living however they want. And 388 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: you know, having these. 389 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: Traditional roles and it works for your marriage, that's great. 390 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: But some of these really go too far. And here 391 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: is the story of Patriarch Hannah. Patriarchy Hannah she was 392 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: is still a woman on the internet who has fourteen kids, 393 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 2: and she submits to her husband Tony, and they live 394 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: in a large piece of land that she calls Tony Town, 395 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 2: and they build houses for their adult children so that 396 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: they don't leave the compound and. 397 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 3: All of that. And basically, over the weekend, a guy 398 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 3: on the Internet, found out, figured out, delved into patriarchy Hannah, 399 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: and found that she does not exist. She is a 400 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: single woman living with her parents near where she claims 401 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: to have this fake Tony town. He got into the 402 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: Google street viewed and satellite imagery. 403 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 2: He found property records at the houses that she claims 404 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: are hers are not hers. And she started deleting posts 405 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: and that's kind of how you know you got them well. 406 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: And for several years now, other people have brought up 407 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: this concern in the past, which is a tricky thing 408 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: to do because someone's asserting that they live this life 409 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: and they are this person, and you're not looking to 410 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: dos them, but you're looking to say, but are you 411 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: this person, particularly if you're accusing, if you're criticizing other 412 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: people for not living a proper trad life, that's tradwife life. 413 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: We would like to have some evidence that you are 414 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: this person. And so a lot of people had had 415 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: questions about her, and she had turned on them online, 416 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: sometimes using personal information that they had had conversations about 417 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: through DMS or through phone calls against them because she 418 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: was protecting this vision of herself right right. 419 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: And so that's the thing I think that when people 420 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 2: see a vision online. It's so important because we've gotten 421 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: to where I think we trust more online now because 422 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 2: we're able to tell kind of the bs right away. 423 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 2: But sometimes somebody can design this whole persona of fourteen kids. 424 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: Why would you lie about that? 425 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: It's bizarro Well, and people started saying, like, she sure 426 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: is online a lot for homeschooling and having fourteen kids 427 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: and maintaining this household and doing all the things. And 428 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: it is a problem because I want to trust that 429 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: people are who they say they are. But we've had 430 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: multiple instances of this. For instance, they're often politically or 431 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: sort of ideologically motivated characters, such as the beleaguered COVID 432 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: nurse who ends up not being a frontline worker at all, 433 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: And several of those were sussed out during that time. 434 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: But it is this weird line where the the person 435 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: that you're trying to figure out if they're the real 436 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: person is like, how dare you? Dare you question me? 437 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: But actually, if you're pushing something online, we should know 438 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: if you're real or not. 439 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think Bethany Mandel, our friend Bethany 440 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: has ruined this for me a little bit because she 441 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 2: has six kids at she homeschools, and she writes like 442 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 2: seventeen articles a week and special twenty five appearances, and 443 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 2: every time I like you see her, she's like, oh, 444 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 2: I started this new blink and it's like what, like what? 445 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: And that's why I think people could believe that there's 446 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 2: some crazy lady with fourteen kids. 447 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: Yes, actually you know what it is Bethany's fault. Bethany 448 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: has led. 449 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 3: Us down the path of like all of this is possible, 450 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: and look. 451 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: At my marriage and like it's true. 452 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 3: And it's just like I started a company and I 453 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 3: have a new substack and listen to my new thing 454 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: and it's like, girl, when when how do you do this? Right? Ethy? Really? 455 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the key. No, it's it is 456 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: the tradwife thing is is bizarre. And sometimes I'll sort 457 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: of stumble into conversations about what kind of wife I 458 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: should be, and I'm like, oh, when did we get here? 459 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: My gud is right? But I do have to say, 460 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: like the thing where magically your husband, you submit to 461 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: your husband, he has all the right decisions made for you. 462 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: You would be perfectly content at all times, no problems. 463 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's pretty easy if you make up your husband. 464 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: Yeah right, Like it's not a separate person who you 465 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: must submit to. It's just your figment of your imagination. 466 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: I could create somebody who I could agree with one 467 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time, no problem. 468 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good point. That that's it. 469 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: You know. 470 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: Also, I mean as a side note, but. 471 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: Like AI relationships are becoming more popular, like you're just 472 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 2: having a relationship with yourself. 473 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 3: You're like, I have fallen in love with. 474 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 2: Me, yes, which like fair, you know, yeah, I am 475 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: very lovable. 476 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: So now I just I think, you know, our other friend, 477 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: Emily Zanati, talks a lot about the tradwife stuff because, 478 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: you know, she she does a lot of those things. 479 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 1: She maintains a small little homestead farm with chickens and 480 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: all of that. She raises her three kids at home, 481 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: she cooks home cooked meals all the time. And one 482 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: of the things she's intent on is sort of piercing 483 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: this idea that you can have this very picturesque perfect homesteading, homeschooling, 484 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: everything life. In fact, what's happening a lot of times 485 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: is that those trad wives are doing a very serious job, 486 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: putting in a lot of hours to make their life 487 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: look like that, right, so that they can then package 488 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: it and sell it to everyone else, which no hate, 489 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: but let's be realistic about what's happening here.
