1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: The Michael Barry Show. I really like Jordan Peterson, and

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: I find sometimes that listening to his thoughts and ideas

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: grounds me. He's given a lot of thought to why

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: we do the things we do, how we think, how

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: the Left has corrupted civilization. And you don't have to

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: agree with everything he says. I think it's very important

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: to be challenged by things people say and force yourself

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: to think anew. So some of you ladies won't like this,

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: some of you men won't like it, but give this

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: some thought. The other day, I was out on the

11
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: back patio smoking a cigar and I came across this,

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: and I hope it offers you the same clarity about

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: relationships that it did for me. It's titled the Problem

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: Men Often Have with Women.

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Listen, this is a problem that men often have when

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: they're dealing with women. They leap to the problem solution phase.

17
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: And they also do that in some ways to avoid

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: and this is what annoys women because what the women

19
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: want and they don't even know this, but this is

20
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: what the women want. Women are more sensitive to threat

21
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: than men. Okay, so they're looking for predators. Now. Predation

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: detection is a it's an intuition. Anxiety is an intuition

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: something's wrong. Okay, what Well, then you guess what the

24
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: woman wants is to lay out all the things that

25
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 2: might be wrong. Okay, Well, the guy doesn't want that because,

26
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: first of all, you know, maybe your wife is upset

27
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: about something in relationship to your children and she doesn't

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: know what it is. So now she has to go

29
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: through everything she thinks that might be wrong. Well, even

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: for you to listen, that's going to be rough because

31
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: some of those things are going to be about you,

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: and you just have to shut up and you have

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: to let her put her cards on the table. Understanding, now,

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: she has to do it in good faith, right, she

35
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: can't be using that opportunity to skewer you. And so

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: these things are tricky to manage. But you want to

37
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: listen to her lay all the cards on the table.

38
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: Now.

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: The advantage to that is now you know where all

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: the hidden snakes are. Now if you do that, what

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: you'll find out and so will she, is that most

42
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: of the things that she's worried about she's not actually

43
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: worried about. She won't know that until she lays them

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: out on the table and can see them and then

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: both of you can triangulate to the actual problem, and

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: then you can negotiate a solution and offer help.

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: Let that start a conversation. Ladies with your men, men

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: with your ladies. Just just let it it, let it

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: force the conversation. You know, a lot of people run

50
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: from conflict, they run from discomfort. But I think it's

51
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: very important to have those conversations, even though they're sometimes unpleasant.

52
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Some people, because they have difficulty having a tough conversation,

53
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: they learn to avoid tough conversations by screaming, threatening, insulting.

54
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: When a conversation becomes uncomfortable, that's the sign of a

55
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: weak mind. It's also necessarily a developmental disorder. You never

56
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: really achieve your full potential if you cannot confront concepts

57
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: that are difficult to understand. Remember when you were in

58
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: school and the first time, whether it's algebra, geometry, trig calculus,

59
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: at whatever level, you said, wow, this is kicking my butt.

60
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: At that moment, you can bubble down and push on through,

61
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: or you can say this is stupid. I'm never going

62
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: to use this, but you are. People say to me

63
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: all the time, you never use that stuff, and really, yeah,

64
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: you do.

65
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: It.

66
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: May not be the coefficient or quadratic equations per se,

67
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: but learning to construct a manner in which you resolve

68
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: a challenge, a complex challenge. Yeah, you do that all

69
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the time. I don't know how many times you do

70
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: curls playing football, but you strengthen the muscle that will

71
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: be used to tackle or catch or grab or push

72
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: someone away.

73
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: Or whatever it is.

74
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: The curls are there to strengthen the muscle which will

75
00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: be applied in a number of different ways. Too many

76
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: people avoid conflict, difficulty, challenge. They avoid these things because

77
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: they are uncomfortable. Joe Biden is not the only Democrat

78
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: candidate to have been screwed over by his party. You

79
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: may remember the controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton's nomination back in

80
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Some of you will remember this well. Some

81
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: supporters of Bernie Sanders argued, and I think rightfully that

82
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: under the leadership of Debbie Wasserman Schultz remember her, the

83
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: Lizard Lady, that the party was actually favoring Hillary Clinton,

84
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: ensuring that she would win the nomination. And then there

85
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: were leaked emails from the DNC this is WikiLeaks, which

86
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: appeared to suggest that party officials were coordinating how they

87
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: could disadvantage campaign and give a boost to Hillary, which

88
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to do in a primary. The most

89
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: significant criticism came from the belief that the DNC was

90
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: not impartial, which it's supposed to be, and then there

91
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: were allegations that they were rigging the primary process in

92
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's favor, which it turns out they were. Then

93
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: wiki leaks just before the DNC the convention, they further

94
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: fueled this controversy by revealing these emails, which proved their point,

95
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: and W. Wasserman Schultz had to resign as DNC chairman.

96
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: The Sanders' supporters felt that the internal bias and manipulation

97
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: kept him from winning the nomination, and they're probably right.

98
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: So Sanders went on the theo Von podcast. Theovon is

99
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: a very funny guy, and he talked about his failed

100
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: primary and then he said that the United States is

101
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: quickly heading towards becoming an oligarchy. This might have sounded

102
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: crazy any other time, but think about what you just

103
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: witnessed with how the Democrats ensured that Joe Biden would

104
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: be the nominee and prevented RFK from running in a

105
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: primary against him In fact, they just kept an RFK

106
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: out of New York, the state he's lived in his

107
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: entire life. Think about how they ensured that Joe Biden

108
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: would be the nominee and RFK could not have a

109
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: primary against him, and then they kept RFK off the

110
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: ballot in states where he qualifies, and then at just

111
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: the right moment they push Biden out and put Kamala

112
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: in and nobody had voted for her. It make Bernie

113
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: Sanders is a nut, There's no doubt about that. But

114
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: he also happens to be right when he tells this story.

115
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: You know, I ran in sixteen, I ran against Hillary

116
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: Clay and then A ran in twenty.

117
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember, and I felt like you. I felt

118
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 4: like you didn't get treated fairly, to be.

119
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: Honest with me, And that's what happens when you take

120
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: on the establishments. What happened is we won the first

121
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 3: three primaries and then, uh, the establishment got very very nervous,

122
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: and they got there a whole lot of candidates in

123
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: the Democratic primary, and they said, hey, be a good

124
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: idea if you all dropped out, that Joe Biden be

125
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: the one candidate. People rallied around.

126
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: Them, and do they call is there a call that

127
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 4: you get and it's like you're you're not going to

128
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: move forward? Is it just like news articles like how

129
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 4: does it? How does the establish?

130
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 3: What happened was is I won the popular vote in Iowa,

131
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: I won the New Hampshire primary. I won the Nevada primary.

132
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: And those were the first three and then from pages

133
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: of the New York Times, Democratic Establishment, very nervous Bernese

134
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: standis who win the whole? We were doing very well

135
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 3: in the polls, and you know, I think behind the

136
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 3: scenes people thought, you know, there were like fifteen different

137
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 3: candidates and they were splitting up the vote. And that's

138
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 3: how I was. I was not necessarily getting over fifty percent.

139
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: I was getting more than other people. So I was

140
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: on the way to and they said, look, Bernie shouldn't

141
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: be the candidate for writers. We don't want them. The

142
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: candidate drop out And then on one day a lot

143
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: of people want to do there's a lot of people

144
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: dropped out. It was Joe Biden. Me and Joe had

145
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: a lot of support and all these people came behind them.

146
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: And do you think that our election process is still democratic?

147
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: Do you think it's still Yes?

148
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 3: And no? I mean you know you want to run

149
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: for office, can you? Yep, you can. You've got a

150
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: certain number of signatures. But if you're going to win,

151
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: and I have ten times more money than you do,

152
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: I will beat you in ninety five percent of the time.

153
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: I mean that's a fact, right, right, you'll beat me.

154
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: Maybe if you're really an exceptional candidate and I'm a

155
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: real idiot, you will beat me once in a while,

156
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: But by and large, the money people will win. So

157
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,640
