Very pleased to have 5 00:00:25,617 --> 00:00:27,977 Speaker 1: joining us for this deep dive into all things that 6 00:00:28,017 --> 00:00:32,497 Speaker 1: matter our friend Carol Markowitz of The New York Post, 7 00:00:32,617 --> 00:00:37,017 Speaker 1: also co author of a fantastic book that all of 8 00:00:37,017 --> 00:00:41,497 Speaker 1: you should be checking out, Stolen Youth, and a refugee 9 00:00:41,497 --> 00:00:46,377 Speaker 1: from New York City to Florida, she helped lead the charge. Carol, 10 00:00:46,417 --> 00:00:49,097 Speaker 1: great to have you on the program. Hi, Block, thanks 11 00:00:49,097 --> 00:00:51,577 Speaker 1: so much for having me. I feel like we could 12 00:00:51,617 --> 00:00:55,097 Speaker 1: start with your book, if that's all right, just because 13 00:00:56,617 --> 00:00:59,537 Speaker 1: right now there are some areas where I want to 14 00:01:00,057 --> 00:01:03,017 Speaker 1: get conservatives to be paying a lot more attention and 15 00:01:03,217 --> 00:01:08,857 Speaker 1: the indoctrination. I'm doing research right now that's going to 16 00:01:08,937 --> 00:01:14,777 Speaker 1: be comparing the brainwashing of totalitarian regimes to what democrats 17 00:01:14,777 --> 00:01:17,817 Speaker 1: are doing. Like, I'm actually very deep into this. I'm 18 00:01:17,817 --> 00:01:26,857 Speaker 1: looking very closely at parallels and things. But that's the 19 00:01:26,897 --> 00:01:31,257 Speaker 1: first chapter of the book. Tell me about Yeah, so 20 00:01:31,737 --> 00:01:35,937 Speaker 1: it compares totalitarian regimes to what the left is doing 21 00:01:35,937 --> 00:01:41,177 Speaker 1: in America. Right now, and it particularly compares where the 22 00:01:41,217 --> 00:01:44,497 Speaker 1: totalitarian regimes of the past have always tried to sever 23 00:01:44,617 --> 00:01:48,417 Speaker 1: the connection between parent and child in order to get 24 00:01:48,457 --> 00:01:52,617 Speaker 1: the child well indoctrinated and to get the parent kind 25 00:01:52,617 --> 00:01:55,817 Speaker 1: of removed from the whole process. As you know, I 26 00:01:55,857 --> 00:01:58,497 Speaker 1: was born in the Soviet Union. This is really personal 27 00:01:58,577 --> 00:02:00,937 Speaker 1: to me, and I it is a history of my 28 00:02:01,017 --> 00:02:05,577 Speaker 1: family that I've heard about my whole life that that 29 00:02:05,737 --> 00:02:09,097 Speaker 1: was always part of it. The removal of the child 30 00:02:09,177 --> 00:02:11,337 Speaker 1: from the parents was very important, and that's how you 31 00:02:11,377 --> 00:02:15,617 Speaker 1: got them. Yeah. I remember actually reading in the New 32 00:02:15,697 --> 00:02:18,177 Speaker 1: York Times. It was a New York Times sort of 33 00:02:18,217 --> 00:02:23,617 Speaker 1: throwback to their assessments back in the early eighties of 34 00:02:24,257 --> 00:02:27,977 Speaker 1: universal childcare in the Soviet Union. And then there were 35 00:02:28,017 --> 00:02:30,297 Speaker 1: people this is not something that anybody would talk about anymore, 36 00:02:30,297 --> 00:02:33,177 Speaker 1: of course, but there were American liberals who are like, hey, 37 00:02:33,217 --> 00:02:36,857 Speaker 1: look at the great universal childcare the Soviets had, and 38 00:02:36,977 --> 00:02:39,497 Speaker 1: it was a very important part of the Soviet machine 39 00:02:40,497 --> 00:02:44,257 Speaker 1: because they wanted people to well, they wanted men and 40 00:02:44,337 --> 00:02:47,617 Speaker 1: women to be able to go do these factory jobs 41 00:02:47,777 --> 00:02:50,057 Speaker 1: or bureaucrats or whatever it was that they were doing. 42 00:02:50,377 --> 00:02:53,297 Speaker 1: So they just plopped all the kids in to train 43 00:02:53,377 --> 00:02:55,657 Speaker 1: them that this horrific system that they were all in 44 00:02:55,777 --> 00:02:57,977 Speaker 1: was great, and the parents got to make, you know, 45 00:02:58,057 --> 00:03:02,817 Speaker 1: really poorly functioning widgets all day at the factory. So 46 00:03:02,857 --> 00:03:05,257 Speaker 1: it's funny because you know, my parents, whenever they would 47 00:03:05,257 --> 00:03:08,097 Speaker 1: read these kinds of stories, would be like, I would 48 00:03:08,177 --> 00:03:10,617 Speaker 1: love to see one of these people who like these, 49 00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,777 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, my parents didn't say this, but 50 00:03:12,857 --> 00:03:16,017 Speaker 1: I'm saying it now, like the quinoa eating you know, 51 00:03:16,377 --> 00:03:20,097 Speaker 1: five dollars coffee every morning at least you know, thirty 52 00:03:20,137 --> 00:03:25,697 Speaker 1: thousand dollars preschool plus parents, see what this Soviet childcare 53 00:03:25,777 --> 00:03:27,817 Speaker 1: looked like, and the people that took care of your 54 00:03:27,897 --> 00:03:30,817 Speaker 1: children and what they did all day, and the food 55 00:03:30,857 --> 00:03:32,977 Speaker 1: that they ate, and all of that, just the setting, 56 00:03:33,337 --> 00:03:36,977 Speaker 1: the grim, gray, unhappy setting that these kids were in. 57 00:03:37,337 --> 00:03:39,457 Speaker 1: My parents are always like, I'd love to see any 58 00:03:39,497 --> 00:03:42,657 Speaker 1: of these proponents of the system actually send their kids 59 00:03:42,657 --> 00:03:46,457 Speaker 1: to something that looked like this. And yet here we 60 00:03:46,497 --> 00:03:50,257 Speaker 1: are now, I think seeing more than ever that the 61 00:03:50,377 --> 00:03:54,897 Speaker 1: progression goes from why are you guys making I've really 62 00:03:54,897 --> 00:03:56,617 Speaker 1: noticed this a lot more in the last few years 63 00:03:56,617 --> 00:03:59,257 Speaker 1: than ever before. Why are you making such a big 64 00:03:59,297 --> 00:04:01,137 Speaker 1: deal out of this? This is what the left and 65 00:04:01,177 --> 00:04:04,377 Speaker 1: this is the you know, the Democratic Corps will say 66 00:04:04,617 --> 00:04:08,817 Speaker 1: whenever we start to recognize something, and certainly when it 67 00:04:08,857 --> 00:04:13,137 Speaker 1: comes to teaching kids things in school, and you know, 68 00:04:13,217 --> 00:04:18,177 Speaker 1: meaning whether whether it's CRT or really aggressive radical gender 69 00:04:18,217 --> 00:04:25,137 Speaker 1: theory stuff, or even the drag queen performances for small 70 00:04:25,257 --> 00:04:29,737 Speaker 1: children with full grown men with like you know, their 71 00:04:29,777 --> 00:04:34,137 Speaker 1: backsides bouncing around in the faces of small children. At first, 72 00:04:34,257 --> 00:04:36,297 Speaker 1: it's why are you making such a big deal out 73 00:04:36,337 --> 00:04:38,177 Speaker 1: of this? And then eventually when they do it enough, 74 00:04:38,497 --> 00:04:39,777 Speaker 1: then they just start to say, yeah, this is what 75 00:04:39,857 --> 00:04:42,537 Speaker 1: we do now, this is really important to us. Right. 76 00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:45,897 Speaker 1: It's also the this isn't happening, it's good that this 77 00:04:46,137 --> 00:04:49,097 Speaker 1: is happening. Like switch, it always starts with what are 78 00:04:49,137 --> 00:04:51,857 Speaker 1: you guys talking about? This is totally not happening. Nobody's 79 00:04:51,897 --> 00:04:54,857 Speaker 1: trying to take away your gas stove. And then you know, 80 00:04:55,017 --> 00:04:57,217 Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel in New York, it's the other her budget, 81 00:04:57,497 --> 00:05:00,057 Speaker 1: and it phases out the gas stove. Suddenly it's good 82 00:05:00,097 --> 00:05:02,137 Speaker 1: that this is happening. It's good for the environment, it's 83 00:05:02,137 --> 00:05:04,377 Speaker 1: good for your air, you can breathe better, et cetera. 84 00:05:04,897 --> 00:05:07,457 Speaker 1: And they do this on so many different levels, and 85 00:05:07,657 --> 00:05:11,017 Speaker 1: constantly there's so much gaslighting. And I have to say that, 86 00:05:11,137 --> 00:05:14,137 Speaker 1: like my whole life, I've had times where people have 87 00:05:14,217 --> 00:05:17,297 Speaker 1: asked me, like, doesn't this moment feel very Soviet too? 88 00:05:17,537 --> 00:05:19,737 Speaker 1: And it was like the nineties and the Clinton years 89 00:05:19,777 --> 00:05:23,497 Speaker 1: and whatever, and it didn't, it really didn't. But this 90 00:05:23,777 --> 00:05:30,737 Speaker 1: moment does. And it's creepy and so just so the 91 00:05:30,897 --> 00:05:33,497 Speaker 1: walls seemed to be closing in on our society where 92 00:05:33,497 --> 00:05:35,537 Speaker 1: there's only you can only say certain things, and you 93 00:05:35,577 --> 00:05:38,097 Speaker 1: can only say them a certain way, and conformity is 94 00:05:38,177 --> 00:05:41,457 Speaker 1: so important, and the Left is just making our society 95 00:05:41,657 --> 00:05:45,057 Speaker 1: ever more conformist. And it is very reminiscent of the 96 00:05:45,137 --> 00:05:47,937 Speaker 1: stories that my family told very well. This is why 97 00:05:48,497 --> 00:05:52,777 Speaker 1: with COVID, it has re oriented my whole framework for 98 00:05:52,857 --> 00:05:58,137 Speaker 1: American politics. You know, before that, I felt like the 99 00:05:58,257 --> 00:06:03,657 Speaker 1: Cavanaugh moment was a very important political shift that many 100 00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:05,937 Speaker 1: of us experienced. I know, it's just one Supreme Court seat, 101 00:06:05,977 --> 00:06:09,697 Speaker 1: one Supreme Court nomination. I was eye open, but it 102 00:06:09,777 --> 00:06:15,417 Speaker 1: was opening because you had the entire Democrat machine. I 103 00:06:15,577 --> 00:06:20,497 Speaker 1: call it the apparatus, right Soviet you know, apparatchicks, right, 104 00:06:20,577 --> 00:06:26,097 Speaker 1: the apparatus, but the apparatus of the Democrat Party so 105 00:06:26,377 --> 00:06:31,177 Speaker 1: obviously went along with the most absurd smears and lies 106 00:06:31,417 --> 00:06:35,417 Speaker 1: about whether you like as jurisprudence or not. A good 107 00:06:35,657 --> 00:06:39,057 Speaker 1: and honorable guy who just didn't represent what their needs 108 00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:43,057 Speaker 1: of power, didn't represent what would give them power, and 109 00:06:43,177 --> 00:06:46,897 Speaker 1: so they just decided to destroy him and feel good. 110 00:06:46,897 --> 00:06:48,417 Speaker 1: And Kamala Harris was a part of it. I mean, 111 00:06:48,497 --> 00:06:50,337 Speaker 1: Corey Booker was a part of it. There are people 112 00:06:51,057 --> 00:06:53,377 Speaker 1: who are still held in high esteem by the Democrats. 113 00:06:53,537 --> 00:06:56,177 Speaker 1: What they did was horrific beyond words. I also think 114 00:06:56,217 --> 00:06:59,457 Speaker 1: with COVID, what we saw was now and now I 115 00:06:59,577 --> 00:07:03,017 Speaker 1: worried that they would do anything to destroy you know, 116 00:07:03,177 --> 00:07:06,177 Speaker 1: your your neighbor, or you or your family member if 117 00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:08,217 Speaker 1: it meant that they could have more power. That's what 118 00:07:08,337 --> 00:07:11,537 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh showed us. But then with with with COVID, it 119 00:07:11,857 --> 00:07:16,137 Speaker 1: was they'll believe any lies, go along with them, either 120 00:07:16,217 --> 00:07:19,617 Speaker 1: propagate them themselves, or be subservient to them in the 121 00:07:19,737 --> 00:07:23,137 Speaker 1: cause of the collective. That felt very That felt very 122 00:07:23,177 --> 00:07:25,977 Speaker 1: Soviet to me. That felt like something that I didn't 123 00:07:26,017 --> 00:07:28,337 Speaker 1: expect to see in America. All the COVID madness that 124 00:07:28,337 --> 00:07:30,897 Speaker 1: you and I've talked about so much. So we have 125 00:07:30,977 --> 00:07:33,337 Speaker 1: a COVID chapter in the book, and you're absolutely right. 126 00:07:33,497 --> 00:07:37,897 Speaker 1: And there were moments like, if Donald Trump wants schools 127 00:07:37,897 --> 00:07:40,417 Speaker 1: to open, then the Democrats don't want schools to open, 128 00:07:40,657 --> 00:07:44,097 Speaker 1: and the Democrats were against public schools. I mean, when 129 00:07:44,177 --> 00:07:46,817 Speaker 1: did that happen? How did that shift happen? And it 130 00:07:47,097 --> 00:07:50,337 Speaker 1: was only despite him, And it's wild to look back 131 00:07:50,377 --> 00:07:53,937 Speaker 1: at this now and see that their special interest group, 132 00:07:54,017 --> 00:07:58,057 Speaker 1: allies and the teachers' unions got them to support closing 133 00:07:58,177 --> 00:08:01,697 Speaker 1: down public schools while private schools stayed open. It was 134 00:08:01,777 --> 00:08:04,937 Speaker 1: just mind boggling to look back at this and see 135 00:08:04,977 --> 00:08:08,417 Speaker 1: that this actually happened. So, yeah, I agree. I agree 136 00:08:08,457 --> 00:08:11,417 Speaker 1: that it's they'll do anything in the pursuit of power, 137 00:08:11,697 --> 00:08:14,977 Speaker 1: anything to indoctrinate these kids. And I don't see a 138 00:08:15,017 --> 00:08:17,257 Speaker 1: bottom here. Yeah, I was gonna ask you, do you 139 00:08:17,417 --> 00:08:21,777 Speaker 1: think do you believe that a lot of the people 140 00:08:23,137 --> 00:08:28,537 Speaker 1: Randy Winegarden perfect example, Does she actually believe it when 141 00:08:28,657 --> 00:08:32,297 Speaker 1: she says that she's doing things for the benefit of children? You, 142 00:08:32,297 --> 00:08:34,457 Speaker 1: I mean, you and I agree she's not. But does 143 00:08:34,537 --> 00:08:38,057 Speaker 1: she think does she think she is? Or is it 144 00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:43,817 Speaker 1: all just a con a lie, an abuse, propaganda meant 145 00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:46,177 Speaker 1: in the pursuit of power for the left and for 146 00:08:46,537 --> 00:08:50,057 Speaker 1: the collectivists. So it's hard to say, especially with her. 147 00:08:50,257 --> 00:08:52,817 Speaker 1: She's sort of George Costanza. A lie is not a 148 00:08:52,897 --> 00:08:56,137 Speaker 1: lie if you believe it kind of situation because she 149 00:08:56,457 --> 00:08:59,937 Speaker 1: now says that she was for opening schools, and once 150 00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:02,897 Speaker 1: you say that, once you say that, you're Randy Winegarden 151 00:09:02,937 --> 00:09:05,377 Speaker 1: and you wanted to open schools all along. She says 152 00:09:05,417 --> 00:09:08,017 Speaker 1: that she's been wanting to open schools since April twenty twenty, 153 00:09:08,577 --> 00:09:11,497 Speaker 1: and you believe this, really believe this. I mean, it's 154 00:09:11,697 --> 00:09:15,377 Speaker 1: sociopathic behavior. She did not want schools to open school 155 00:09:15,457 --> 00:09:18,017 Speaker 1: year twenty twenty, but it's important to remember she did 156 00:09:18,097 --> 00:09:21,097 Speaker 1: not want schools to open school year twenty twenty one either. 157 00:09:21,297 --> 00:09:23,977 Speaker 1: She wanted them closed for the second school year. And 158 00:09:24,737 --> 00:09:27,417 Speaker 1: you know, thank god for Ronda Santis and Florida leading 159 00:09:27,497 --> 00:09:30,017 Speaker 1: the way on opening schools because the rest of the 160 00:09:30,097 --> 00:09:32,377 Speaker 1: country might be locked down for that year as well. 161 00:09:32,737 --> 00:09:35,017 Speaker 1: They would have just not had an example to look 162 00:09:35,097 --> 00:09:36,697 Speaker 1: to and been like, well, this is how it works, 163 00:09:36,777 --> 00:09:38,457 Speaker 1: this is how schools open and kids get to go 164 00:09:38,537 --> 00:09:40,017 Speaker 1: back to school. And we don't have to listen to 165 00:09:40,177 --> 00:09:42,617 Speaker 1: Mandy Weingarten.

She saw me today and 194 00:11:06,897 --> 00:11:08,257 Speaker 1: I didn't even think about this. She saw me and 195 00:11:08,337 --> 00:11:10,857 Speaker 1: she's like, you need to change and I would like 196 00:11:11,017 --> 00:11:14,537 Speaker 1: why she said, because it looks like Zelenski is walking 197 00:11:14,577 --> 00:11:18,097 Speaker 1: around our apartment wearing a kind of olive green T 198 00:11:18,297 --> 00:11:21,897 Speaker 1: shirt right now. And I started walking and then like 199 00:11:21,977 --> 00:11:24,297 Speaker 1: this morning we're having coffee together. I was like, come on, 200 00:11:24,497 --> 00:11:26,577 Speaker 1: what do you mean, like I need to fight against 201 00:11:26,617 --> 00:11:28,137 Speaker 1: the Rashians And I was sorry. She was like, now 202 00:11:28,217 --> 00:11:30,297 Speaker 1: you're really freaking me out right, like you get like 203 00:11:30,377 --> 00:11:34,697 Speaker 1: a Zelenski thing going. But oh, come on, that's pretty close. 204 00:11:34,777 --> 00:11:37,697 Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he's very long, he's down here, 205 00:11:37,737 --> 00:11:40,817 Speaker 1: and he has like this very gruff anyway, I don't 206 00:11:40,817 --> 00:11:43,137 Speaker 1: see you actually former Soviet you under you know, like 207 00:11:43,217 --> 00:11:46,297 Speaker 1: the the intricacies of the accent. Um. I guess my 208 00:11:46,337 --> 00:11:48,697 Speaker 1: Fauci and my Zelenski probably sound a little too much alike. 209 00:11:49,017 --> 00:11:51,937 Speaker 1: But yeah, now if you wear an olive like drab 210 00:11:52,217 --> 00:11:57,377 Speaker 1: T shirt anywhere, um, you you're apparently channeling channeling Zelenski. Okay, 211 00:11:57,457 --> 00:12:02,297 Speaker 1: so the CNN the CNN effect. Um. Also, wait before 212 00:12:02,337 --> 00:12:03,737 Speaker 1: I get to that, what do you think about these 213 00:12:04,417 --> 00:12:06,257 Speaker 1: wedding bands that are made of So I have a 214 00:12:06,457 --> 00:12:08,977 Speaker 1: you know, the platinum wedding ring that i'll wear now 215 00:12:09,017 --> 00:12:10,337 Speaker 1: when I go out, and all that sort of stuff. 216 00:12:10,337 --> 00:12:13,777 Speaker 1: I guess I like these just the sort of rubber 217 00:12:14,777 --> 00:12:17,337 Speaker 1: silicone ring that you wear. It's a symbol. It's just 218 00:12:17,377 --> 00:12:20,577 Speaker 1: more comfortable on your hand. But she's like, you've never 219 00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:23,217 Speaker 1: heard its great? I just do you know you young 220 00:12:23,297 --> 00:12:26,017 Speaker 1: people today? I don't know what you're up to, okay, 221 00:12:26,057 --> 00:12:27,777 Speaker 1: because well, you know, if if I were to go, 222 00:12:27,937 --> 00:12:30,137 Speaker 1: let's say, if I was to go whale on my 223 00:12:30,257 --> 00:12:32,937 Speaker 1: pecks at the gym, which could definitely use some some 224 00:12:33,097 --> 00:12:36,897 Speaker 1: whaling these days. Uh, if you're wearing like an actual 225 00:12:37,017 --> 00:12:39,897 Speaker 1: gold or silver or platinum ring. You know, it can 226 00:12:39,977 --> 00:12:42,297 Speaker 1: get scuffed up, and it can get kind of you 227 00:12:42,377 --> 00:12:45,857 Speaker 1: know it, you know, clinks against the metal, whereas with 228 00:12:46,017 --> 00:12:48,377 Speaker 1: this you can go lift. But then she's like, well, 229 00:12:48,417 --> 00:12:49,897 Speaker 1: are you just gonna wear it for the gym only, 230 00:12:50,057 --> 00:12:52,577 Speaker 1: or you're gonna wear it all the time? And this 231 00:12:52,777 --> 00:12:54,937 Speaker 1: is kind of you know. Look, I didn't even wear 232 00:12:54,937 --> 00:12:57,937 Speaker 1: a tie at my wedding, So I'm just increasingly approaching 233 00:12:58,057 --> 00:13:01,897 Speaker 1: this functional comfort for everything in life. I think functional 234 00:13:01,977 --> 00:13:05,617 Speaker 1: comfort is essential. Uh, and I for you know, so 235 00:13:05,737 --> 00:13:09,097 Speaker 1: I'm waging a one man war against the necktie. I 236 00:13:09,177 --> 00:13:11,497 Speaker 1: will tell everybody's suits are not suits for men. I 237 00:13:11,577 --> 00:13:13,697 Speaker 1: have custom made suits, only a couple of them, but 238 00:13:14,097 --> 00:13:17,257 Speaker 1: not comfortable. They're not as comfortable as other things that 239 00:13:17,337 --> 00:13:20,057 Speaker 1: I can just wear. And I think you're right on ties. 240 00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:23,857 Speaker 1: My husband is overties. Also, we were just talking about 241 00:13:23,897 --> 00:13:26,497 Speaker 1: my daughter's having a bottom, so soon none of none 242 00:13:26,497 --> 00:13:27,897 Speaker 1: of the men and my family are wearing a tie. 243 00:13:28,297 --> 00:13:32,177 Speaker 1: Some fun history for everybody listening. The tie is a 244 00:13:32,297 --> 00:13:37,177 Speaker 1: holdover from the court of Louis the fourteenth, who hired 245 00:13:37,377 --> 00:13:43,257 Speaker 1: a core of mercenaries from Croatia. They were called the cravati, 246 00:13:43,897 --> 00:13:46,097 Speaker 1: and one way that they would distinguish themselves. This is 247 00:13:46,337 --> 00:13:49,937 Speaker 1: when battlefield distinguishing was much more important than battlefield camouflage, 248 00:13:50,137 --> 00:13:52,537 Speaker 1: which also is why you had, for example, the lands 249 00:13:52,537 --> 00:13:56,417 Speaker 1: Connects of Germany who had very brightly colored colored clothing 250 00:13:56,417 --> 00:13:58,817 Speaker 1: and that became in a battle. Imagine somebody with bright 251 00:13:58,857 --> 00:14:01,577 Speaker 1: orange and red and green. And they would also wear 252 00:14:01,617 --> 00:14:04,377 Speaker 1: a very prominent cod piece, which there's a whole Freudian 253 00:14:04,537 --> 00:14:07,337 Speaker 1: aspect to that, I guess. But the but back to 254 00:14:07,417 --> 00:14:10,577 Speaker 1: Louis the fourteenth The lands Connects, by the way, saved 255 00:14:11,697 --> 00:14:14,377 Speaker 1: first Siege of Vienna. Talk about that another time. You know, 256 00:14:14,497 --> 00:14:16,977 Speaker 1: Christendom was about to get overrun by the four forces 257 00:14:16,977 --> 00:14:19,577 Speaker 1: of the Ottoman Empire. But you go to fourteenth cent 258 00:14:19,737 --> 00:14:23,697 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Louis the fourteenth and uh, he hired the 259 00:14:23,817 --> 00:14:27,497 Speaker 1: cravati to be in the service of the French military, 260 00:14:27,897 --> 00:14:30,417 Speaker 1: and they wore a brightly colored cloth around their neck, 261 00:14:30,497 --> 00:14:32,857 Speaker 1: which came to be known as a cravat or the 262 00:14:32,977 --> 00:14:36,897 Speaker 1: French cravat the necktie. And so now hundreds of years later, 263 00:14:37,377 --> 00:14:41,577 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to have some you know, some portrait device 264 00:14:41,697 --> 00:14:43,777 Speaker 1: around my neck. On a hot day down in Florida, 265 00:14:43,857 --> 00:14:46,617 Speaker 1: because people says, it's just ridiculous, It's just ridiculous. No, 266 00:14:48,337 --> 00:14:50,177 Speaker 1: that's right, thank you. I like that you think this 267 00:14:50,217 --> 00:14:51,857 Speaker 1: is because people are like, oh, they're they're horrified of this. 268 00:14:51,897 --> 00:14:54,977 Speaker 1: I think I think the cutter clothing and looking good 269 00:14:55,017 --> 00:14:56,537 Speaker 1: and all that is, you know, it is a good thing, right, 270 00:14:56,577 --> 00:14:59,497 Speaker 1: people should try. But I also think that another one, 271 00:14:59,857 --> 00:15:03,057 Speaker 1: another one, Carol, women who were telling me all the time, 272 00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:07,457 Speaker 1: tie you know, another one. No, no, but this is 273 00:15:07,457 --> 00:15:10,417 Speaker 1: for the ladies out there that we're the super hainful 274 00:15:10,457 --> 00:15:13,217 Speaker 1: shoes and they're walking out. I'm like, look right there, 275 00:15:15,177 --> 00:15:17,097 Speaker 1: you see this is crazy to me. You know, I 276 00:15:17,217 --> 00:15:18,657 Speaker 1: used to be a single man. I would go on 277 00:15:18,857 --> 00:15:21,097 Speaker 1: dates and I would I would be told, oh, we're 278 00:15:21,257 --> 00:15:23,097 Speaker 1: let's get a drinking around the corner. It's two blocks 279 00:15:23,137 --> 00:15:25,577 Speaker 1: away in New York City. And it's like, you know, oh, well, 280 00:15:25,617 --> 00:15:27,537 Speaker 1: can we get an uber.

Your husband. I 336 00:17:54,417 --> 00:17:56,137 Speaker 1: gotta say, he likes to look. He likes to be 337 00:17:56,177 --> 00:17:57,937 Speaker 1: a comfortable guy too. Where to get I've never seen 338 00:17:58,057 --> 00:18:00,217 Speaker 1: him in the necktie. Does he do the necktie? Oh no, no, 339 00:18:00,417 --> 00:18:02,097 Speaker 1: he does not do. Next side, That's what I'm telling you, 340 00:18:02,617 --> 00:18:06,657 Speaker 1: You and him. He does not care. We have we 341 00:18:06,737 --> 00:18:09,497 Speaker 1: have solidarity. So the tricorn hat, though, you know, we 342 00:18:09,537 --> 00:18:13,177 Speaker 1: always think if someone puts on a tricorn hat, they think, oh, 343 00:18:13,377 --> 00:18:17,017 Speaker 1: like George Washington, the American Revolution, you know, the So 344 00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:20,577 Speaker 1: it's fascinate because people think it's the most American of things, 345 00:18:20,657 --> 00:18:22,777 Speaker 1: and in a sense it is. But the tricorn hat 346 00:18:22,817 --> 00:18:26,377 Speaker 1: actually comes to us because of Spanish mercenaries fighting in 347 00:18:26,577 --> 00:18:33,057 Speaker 1: Flanders modern day Belgium. And they had this wide Spanish 348 00:18:33,137 --> 00:18:35,417 Speaker 1: hat that would get in the way when they were 349 00:18:35,457 --> 00:18:37,857 Speaker 1: doing maneuvers with their muskets, and so they began to 350 00:18:38,017 --> 00:18:40,577 Speaker 1: flip up the brim on both sides so that when 351 00:18:40,577 --> 00:18:43,137 Speaker 1: they were on parade ground and moving their rifle around, 352 00:18:43,417 --> 00:18:45,537 Speaker 1: it wouldn't actually knock the hat off their head. And 353 00:18:45,617 --> 00:18:48,177 Speaker 1: then that became a style, and the British were fighting 354 00:18:48,217 --> 00:18:50,497 Speaker 1: against them, saw this and realized that makes sense. They 355 00:18:50,657 --> 00:18:53,057 Speaker 1: started the tricorn hat, which we obviously got from the 356 00:18:53,057 --> 00:18:55,777 Speaker 1: British in the first place, and that is now as 357 00:18:55,817 --> 00:18:59,337 Speaker 1: American is apple pie, except it comes from Spanish mercenaries. 358 00:19:00,137 --> 00:19:04,897 Speaker 1: So history loving nine year old, I think this is 359 00:19:04,937 --> 00:19:06,777 Speaker 1: the only one he'll ever want to listen to. But 360 00:19:06,897 --> 00:19:09,897 Speaker 1: I imagine he'll give you at least one. Well, actually, act, 361 00:19:10,097 --> 00:19:12,697 Speaker 1: surely that's not what happened. This is what happened, because 362 00:19:12,697 --> 00:19:15,297 Speaker 1: that's oh nice, that's fine, that's fair. I will say, 363 00:19:15,657 --> 00:19:17,897 Speaker 1: if he wants their nerd nerd out, you got to 364 00:19:17,937 --> 00:19:22,417 Speaker 1: give him the buck. Sex didn't show shields high where 365 00:19:22,537 --> 00:19:25,537 Speaker 1: we do the real Dracula. The history of lad Drakul 366 00:19:25,737 --> 00:19:29,937 Speaker 1: from the sixteenth century. Fascinating guy, fascinating period of history. 367 00:19:30,337 --> 00:19:32,737 Speaker 1: I did the Siege of Malta, the Fall of Constantinople. 368 00:19:32,737 --> 00:19:34,937 Speaker 1: I sit around doing these things, which is probably why 369 00:19:34,977 --> 00:19:36,577 Speaker 1: I don't. Yeah, I'll send them to you your if 370 00:19:36,617 --> 00:19:39,977 Speaker 1: your son really loves history, they're very he would love 371 00:19:40,097 --> 00:19:43,497 Speaker 1: to talk about it, listen to it.

But I 376 00:19:53,137 --> 00:19:55,097 Speaker 1: was going to ask the CNN effect that's coming out, 377 00:19:55,337 --> 00:19:58,257 Speaker 1: But my pillow, do you have my pillows?

All right, 403 00:21:05,057 --> 00:21:07,777 Speaker 1: so I'd mentioned this, I'd promoted this the CNT effect. 404 00:21:07,777 --> 00:21:09,417 Speaker 1: Here's what I say it is as somebody who had 405 00:21:09,417 --> 00:21:12,937 Speaker 1: previously worked, I used to be able to have conversations 406 00:21:12,977 --> 00:21:16,417 Speaker 1: with liberals about things that I disagreed with them on 407 00:21:16,737 --> 00:21:18,217 Speaker 1: and I still would be willing to do that, by 408 00:21:18,217 --> 00:21:20,857 Speaker 1: the way, and I've I've I've co hosted shows with 409 00:21:21,257 --> 00:21:24,777 Speaker 1: left wing people with self described you know, Marxist um, 410 00:21:25,097 --> 00:21:27,177 Speaker 1: I've hoped, I saw, so I'm fine with that. I 411 00:21:27,297 --> 00:21:29,937 Speaker 1: feel though that now, even still in the era of Biden, 412 00:21:30,417 --> 00:21:32,657 Speaker 1: it is very hard to have a conversation. And this 413 00:21:32,777 --> 00:21:34,857 Speaker 1: is why I say it's a CNN effect, because anytime 414 00:21:34,897 --> 00:21:37,577 Speaker 1: he turned on CNN, it was Trump. There was something 415 00:21:37,657 --> 00:21:40,697 Speaker 1: Trump related. You know, if if if there if an 416 00:21:40,737 --> 00:21:44,617 Speaker 1: asteroid hit the hit the Earth and and you know, 417 00:21:44,737 --> 00:21:47,937 Speaker 1: there was like a barn caught on fire in twenty 418 00:21:48,097 --> 00:21:52,097 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. It was like Trump fails to prevent asteroid. 419 00:21:52,097 --> 00:21:55,977 Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was a psychosis. Yeah, 420 00:21:56,097 --> 00:22:00,177 Speaker 1: that that psychosis, to me, has continued, like even though 421 00:22:00,217 --> 00:22:01,977 Speaker 1: he's not president anymore. I try to talk to a 422 00:22:02,057 --> 00:22:05,577 Speaker 1: Democrat about anything and it reverts to Trump right away. 423 00:22:05,897 --> 00:22:08,857 Speaker 1: It's I do think it's like a mental illness aunt 424 00:22:08,897 --> 00:22:13,137 Speaker 1: of mental illness, parton can't speak. There's some problem. Yeah, No, 425 00:22:13,337 --> 00:22:19,177 Speaker 1: I think they were deeply damaged by Donald Trump winning. 426 00:22:19,257 --> 00:22:21,497 Speaker 1: I mean, you were in New York the day after 427 00:22:21,617 --> 00:22:23,977 Speaker 1: he won the election in twenty sixteen, right. Do you 428 00:22:24,017 --> 00:22:27,777 Speaker 1: remember anything about that day? Oh? Yeah, the day it 429 00:22:27,937 --> 00:22:29,937 Speaker 1: was there. There were two days I was in New 430 00:22:30,057 --> 00:22:32,777 Speaker 1: York City that reminded me of the day after Hurricane 431 00:22:32,817 --> 00:22:35,457 Speaker 1: Sandy hit and Donald Trump's election. Felt. I wasn't there 432 00:22:35,457 --> 00:22:37,297 Speaker 1: for nine to eleven. I was in college. But the 433 00:22:37,377 --> 00:22:40,097 Speaker 1: day after Hurricane Sandy and the day after Trump won, 434 00:22:40,737 --> 00:22:44,057 Speaker 1: the field, the energy on the streets exactly the same. 435 00:22:44,177 --> 00:22:48,937 Speaker 1: Just shock shock. It was a rainy day. People were 436 00:22:49,017 --> 00:22:52,457 Speaker 1: walking around as if like a meteor had hit and 437 00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:57,257 Speaker 1: it was Donald Trump's fault. It was really just amazing 438 00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:59,537 Speaker 1: to watch it. It was like their lives had ended. 439 00:22:59,577 --> 00:23:02,137 Speaker 1: And at the time, I really not that I didn't 440 00:23:02,177 --> 00:23:04,457 Speaker 1: want Trump to win. I preferred him over Hillary Clinton, 441 00:23:04,537 --> 00:23:06,857 Speaker 1: but I really didn't like him, and I thought that 442 00:23:07,097 --> 00:23:08,897 Speaker 1: he was going to be a terrible president. And I 443 00:23:09,057 --> 00:23:11,057 Speaker 1: just you know, but I was like, all right, well, 444 00:23:11,177 --> 00:23:12,977 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, on, what are you gonna do? That's you know, 445 00:23:13,097 --> 00:23:18,897 Speaker 1: that's good whatever. And people were just stunned, and I 446 00:23:18,977 --> 00:23:21,017 Speaker 1: don't think that they ever got over it. I think 447 00:23:21,057 --> 00:23:24,697 Speaker 1: that they just were traumatized by it. They expected to 448 00:23:24,777 --> 00:23:28,017 Speaker 1: win in such a way that that shock when you 449 00:23:28,097 --> 00:23:29,937 Speaker 1: don't win something that you thought you were going to win. 450 00:23:30,137 --> 00:23:33,697 Speaker 1: It didn't go away. They it lasted years for them. 451 00:23:34,457 --> 00:23:36,537 Speaker 1: It's interesting that you call it the CNN effect because 452 00:23:36,537 --> 00:23:40,017 Speaker 1: I feel like CNN has you mentioned that you can't 453 00:23:40,017 --> 00:23:42,417 Speaker 1: talk to liberals anymore, and then it's like, you know, 454 00:23:42,697 --> 00:23:45,537 Speaker 1: but CNN used to have shows where liberals and conservatives 455 00:23:45,577 --> 00:23:49,097 Speaker 1: talk to each other, right, and they can't do that. Yeah, yeah, 456 00:23:49,137 --> 00:23:52,257 Speaker 1: but they can't do that anymore, partially because of wokeness. 457 00:23:52,297 --> 00:23:56,257 Speaker 1: Wokeness says you cannot engage conservatives in honest conversation, and 458 00:23:56,377 --> 00:23:58,897 Speaker 1: that's also what they're doing. They're shutting down the honest 459 00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,857 Speaker 1: conversation that you're saying, but Trump, but Trump, And that 460 00:24:02,177 --> 00:24:06,577 Speaker 1: makes us finding common grounds so much harder because they 461 00:24:06,737 --> 00:24:08,697 Speaker 1: only have this one thing that they go to and 462 00:24:08,737 --> 00:24:11,297 Speaker 1: you end up having to defend Trump and everything he's 463 00:24:11,297 --> 00:24:14,417 Speaker 1: ever done. Yeah. I think that it has become a 464 00:24:14,817 --> 00:24:17,617 Speaker 1: it is a form of a psychosis. Uh, it's some 465 00:24:18,297 --> 00:24:22,137 Speaker 1: there's something about the circuitry of liberal brains now where 466 00:24:22,177 --> 00:24:24,137 Speaker 1: it look. It's obviously in the case with everybody, but 467 00:24:24,257 --> 00:24:27,537 Speaker 1: it's enough of a situation, or it's common enough that 468 00:24:27,697 --> 00:24:29,697 Speaker 1: I think it is a dominant I think it is 469 00:24:29,737 --> 00:24:32,377 Speaker 1: the majority of the Democrats that I try to engage 470 00:24:32,377 --> 00:24:36,497 Speaker 1: within any capacity. Now, if I say, hey, you know, 471 00:24:36,617 --> 00:24:41,417 Speaker 1: maybe maybe we shouldn't be teaching queer theory in an 472 00:24:41,497 --> 00:24:44,097 Speaker 1: African American studies program in Florida, which you know, that 473 00:24:44,217 --> 00:24:46,537 Speaker 1: just came up and they ended up reverting and not 474 00:24:47,297 --> 00:24:50,617 Speaker 1: having that in the curriculum, people will say to me, oh, 475 00:24:50,777 --> 00:24:53,257 Speaker 1: so you know, you just think that like what Trump 476 00:24:53,337 --> 00:24:57,457 Speaker 1: says about CRT and like where are we doing? Like, well, 477 00:24:57,537 --> 00:25:01,337 Speaker 1: how do we? And And that's why I get worried, Carol, 478 00:25:01,417 --> 00:25:05,257 Speaker 1: because when you see, you know, mass movements like bankruptcy, 479 00:25:05,377 --> 00:25:08,017 Speaker 1: like so many things, it happened suddenly, it happened slowly, 480 00:25:08,097 --> 00:25:12,097 Speaker 1: then suddenly right it's it's grows over time. And I've 481 00:25:12,137 --> 00:25:16,497 Speaker 1: seen a mass movement inside of America where people who 482 00:25:16,577 --> 00:25:19,577 Speaker 1: think of themselves as very discerning, very intelligent, and very 483 00:25:19,657 --> 00:25:24,737 Speaker 1: good people actually who are who are leftists, who are democrats, liberals, progressives, 484 00:25:24,777 --> 00:25:27,377 Speaker 1: whatever they want to call themselves. I call them commies. 485 00:25:27,417 --> 00:25:29,177 Speaker 1: And I don't mean that, you know, in a nice way, 486 00:25:30,417 --> 00:25:34,377 Speaker 1: but they will go along with things now that it's 487 00:25:34,417 --> 00:25:36,657 Speaker 1: not possible for a human being who is capable of 488 00:25:36,697 --> 00:25:39,817 Speaker 1: independent thought to go along with And this this has 489 00:25:39,817 --> 00:25:43,937 Speaker 1: become commonplace. Yeah, you're absolutely right. And are you talking 490 00:25:43,977 --> 00:25:48,297 Speaker 1: about people like in on Twitter or are these people 491 00:25:48,337 --> 00:25:53,137 Speaker 1: in your everyday life? Both? Both? Yeah, because I find 492 00:25:53,217 --> 00:25:55,537 Speaker 1: that the people in my everyday life, even the people 493 00:25:55,577 --> 00:26:01,057 Speaker 1: on the left, are way more troubled by where the 494 00:26:01,177 --> 00:26:03,937 Speaker 1: left is going, even if they are themselves pretty far left, 495 00:26:04,017 --> 00:26:06,577 Speaker 1: even if really they are, there are so many ways 496 00:26:06,577 --> 00:26:08,697 Speaker 1: that they are on the left. And then suddenly there 497 00:26:08,737 --> 00:26:10,817 Speaker 1: are a woman's study degree. What does it really mean 498 00:26:10,897 --> 00:26:12,857 Speaker 1: when we don't know what a woman is right and 499 00:26:13,537 --> 00:26:15,777 Speaker 1: and they're challenged by it. They don't know how to 500 00:26:15,857 --> 00:26:18,457 Speaker 1: handle it, they don't know what to say, and they 501 00:26:18,897 --> 00:26:22,137 Speaker 1: don't have the easy line that the somebody online you know, 502 00:26:22,257 --> 00:26:24,537 Speaker 1: on the internet has, where like everyone who doesn't agree 503 00:26:24,537 --> 00:26:27,697 Speaker 1: with them as a turf, you know, right, you know, intellectually, 504 00:26:27,817 --> 00:26:31,537 Speaker 1: I do think it's interesting that it's not a problem 505 00:26:31,697 --> 00:26:34,617 Speaker 1: for a person who is of the right probably speaking 506 00:26:34,737 --> 00:26:38,577 Speaker 1: to break with the right on some ague. Yeah whatever, 507 00:26:38,737 --> 00:26:40,737 Speaker 1: you know, you know, score room, I don't I don't care. Oh, 508 00:26:40,857 --> 00:26:43,297 Speaker 1: the Republican Party says, you know, I don't care. I 509 00:26:43,417 --> 00:26:46,257 Speaker 1: think this. I think they're wrong. On the following. Every 510 00:26:46,337 --> 00:26:48,857 Speaker 1: single conservative I know has a number of issues where 511 00:26:49,257 --> 00:26:50,937 Speaker 1: you know, they break with the base or they don't 512 00:26:50,977 --> 00:26:53,297 Speaker 1: like you know, whether it's they don't like the you know, 513 00:26:53,857 --> 00:26:57,337 Speaker 1: globalist Paul Ryan Republicans, or they do and you know whatever, 514 00:26:57,617 --> 00:27:00,497 Speaker 1: there are these areas where they'll just have this, have 515 00:27:00,617 --> 00:27:03,497 Speaker 1: this separation. And I do think though that the left 516 00:27:03,657 --> 00:27:08,017 Speaker 1: very much like a cult or a totalitary in a 517 00:27:08,097 --> 00:27:13,817 Speaker 1: totalitarian state. There's constant fear of saying the imperfect thing 518 00:27:13,937 --> 00:27:15,857 Speaker 1: that will get them in trouble with their own side. 519 00:27:15,977 --> 00:27:18,497 Speaker 1: Right and on generations, by the way, that's more prominent, 520 00:27:18,537 --> 00:27:21,977 Speaker 1: I think than anywhere else. Well, the whole thing is 521 00:27:22,017 --> 00:27:24,497 Speaker 1: with cancel culture is that a lot of it was 522 00:27:24,857 --> 00:27:28,497 Speaker 1: left on left. It wasn't necessarily the left coming for conservatives. 523 00:27:28,537 --> 00:27:30,217 Speaker 1: I mean it is in some ways like you have 524 00:27:30,377 --> 00:27:32,697 Speaker 1: to bake the cake stories, you know, out of Colorado. 525 00:27:32,977 --> 00:27:36,257 Speaker 1: So they do target sort of you know, non leftists, 526 00:27:36,697 --> 00:27:39,177 Speaker 1: but for the most part it was like you wrote 527 00:27:39,257 --> 00:27:41,337 Speaker 1: something that I don't like, and if you're on the left, 528 00:27:41,417 --> 00:27:43,977 Speaker 1: you end up apologizing. And then it's like when you 529 00:27:44,017 --> 00:27:46,857 Speaker 1: get into that spiral where it's never going to be enough. 530 00:27:46,897 --> 00:27:49,857 Speaker 1: Remember that book Dirt. This This woman wrote this book 531 00:27:49,937 --> 00:27:53,577 Speaker 1: that was a really celebrated American Dirt, very celebrated book, 532 00:27:53,817 --> 00:27:55,657 Speaker 1: but then it turned out that she wrote about Mexican 533 00:27:55,737 --> 00:27:58,737 Speaker 1: drug smugglers and she herself was not a Mexican, so 534 00:27:58,897 --> 00:28:01,097 Speaker 1: she had to apologize, and I think they ended up 535 00:28:01,137 --> 00:28:04,657 Speaker 1: actually not having any public relations for the book at all, 536 00:28:04,697 --> 00:28:07,457 Speaker 1: because you know, she had obviously committed the worst sin 537 00:28:07,537 --> 00:28:09,697 Speaker 1: in history writing about a culture that it was not 538 00:28:09,817 --> 00:28:12,737 Speaker 1: her own. But how a conservative writer handled that, They'd 539 00:28:12,777 --> 00:28:15,497 Speaker 1: be like, okay, and I so what, Yeah, I did 540 00:28:15,577 --> 00:28:18,417 Speaker 1: that and I'll do it again. And we don't really 541 00:28:18,497 --> 00:28:21,937 Speaker 1: care as much about their targeting. But once you bend 542 00:28:22,057 --> 00:28:24,777 Speaker 1: to them at all, you're going to keep bending all 543 00:28:24,817 --> 00:28:28,017 Speaker 1: the time. That's what we've seen up to this point. 544 00:28:28,057 --> 00:28:34,217 Speaker 1: And obviously the progression is always request for tolerance and 545 00:28:34,457 --> 00:28:39,617 Speaker 1: then push for uh, you know, a push for acceptance 546 00:28:39,777 --> 00:28:43,377 Speaker 1: and then demands for celebration. Right, That's it just it 547 00:28:43,497 --> 00:28:47,897 Speaker 1: always is on the same progression progressives, where at first 548 00:28:47,937 --> 00:28:49,457 Speaker 1: it's just let's just all be cool to each other, 549 00:28:49,617 --> 00:28:51,057 Speaker 1: right and that. And that's one of the things that 550 00:28:51,137 --> 00:28:54,297 Speaker 1: frustrates me so much about the approach of the left 551 00:28:54,377 --> 00:28:58,377 Speaker 1: is that I think on pronouns, for example, and people 552 00:28:58,417 --> 00:29:00,977 Speaker 1: say this is small. It is not small. The same way, 553 00:29:01,017 --> 00:29:04,777 Speaker 1: it's not small to switch from illegal alien to illegal 554 00:29:04,817 --> 00:29:08,337 Speaker 1: immigrant to undocumented because you know, now at this point 555 00:29:08,337 --> 00:29:09,817 Speaker 1: it's like, well, let's just give them documents, like what 556 00:29:10,097 --> 00:29:12,137 Speaker 1: do we need immigration for? Right? I mean, the whole 557 00:29:12,217 --> 00:29:17,097 Speaker 1: process is undermined by the language itself, the concession of 558 00:29:17,897 --> 00:29:21,897 Speaker 1: I'm going to use someone's preferred pronouns. They have used 559 00:29:22,017 --> 00:29:24,377 Speaker 1: the desire of people on the right to be polite 560 00:29:24,697 --> 00:29:27,657 Speaker 1: and to be conned in order to get compliance on 561 00:29:27,777 --> 00:29:30,817 Speaker 1: that issue, for example, and then people get very confused 562 00:29:30,817 --> 00:29:32,697 Speaker 1: because they go, hold on a second, why does it 563 00:29:32,737 --> 00:29:34,537 Speaker 1: feel like we're losing this argument? On the other side 564 00:29:34,657 --> 00:29:37,257 Speaker 1: is crazy because you're conceding the argument. I mean, every 565 00:29:37,257 --> 00:29:39,377 Speaker 1: time I see a story about a transgender individual in 566 00:29:39,417 --> 00:29:42,097 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail and even sometimes on Foxnews dot Com, 567 00:29:42,417 --> 00:29:46,497 Speaker 1: it referred to what he is a she. So it's 568 00:29:46,497 --> 00:29:49,377 Speaker 1: interesting because I think my feeling would have been, in general, 569 00:29:49,577 --> 00:29:52,817 Speaker 1: use somebody's preferred pronoun But obviously I'm not using they, 570 00:29:52,937 --> 00:29:55,297 Speaker 1: and I'm not using anything invented, and I'm not using 571 00:29:55,337 --> 00:29:57,977 Speaker 1: any of the new ones. But You're absolutely right where 572 00:29:58,417 --> 00:30:00,857 Speaker 1: it's never enough. It's never like okay, I'll use your 573 00:30:00,897 --> 00:30:02,697 Speaker 1: preferred pronoun Well, now I need you to use the 574 00:30:02,777 --> 00:30:05,537 Speaker 1: one that I just came up with today. And I'm 575 00:30:05,577 --> 00:30:07,617 Speaker 1: no longer the pronoun that you thought I was yesterday, 576 00:30:07,657 --> 00:30:09,657 Speaker 1: and now I'm something new and now I'm plural and 577 00:30:10,697 --> 00:30:14,377 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's never it never ends. And the thing 578 00:30:14,537 --> 00:30:16,657 Speaker 1: is that it's not just people on the right that 579 00:30:16,817 --> 00:30:18,617 Speaker 1: know this. It's just the people on the left are 580 00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:22,577 Speaker 1: terrified to be canceled and speak, you know, speak out 581 00:30:22,657 --> 00:30:25,377 Speaker 1: and have their jobs targeted. And in some ways they 582 00:30:25,457 --> 00:30:28,177 Speaker 1: deserve it, right like they let this happen to their side, 583 00:30:28,377 --> 00:30:31,737 Speaker 1: but it is still sort of hard to watch people 584 00:30:31,937 --> 00:30:34,537 Speaker 1: not be able to speak. I want to ask you 585 00:30:34,617 --> 00:30:40,817 Speaker 1: about some lessons from the uh, the married world, Carol, 586 00:30:40,897 --> 00:30:42,737 Speaker 1: now that I have entered these ranks.

The 623 00:32:24,017 --> 00:32:27,697 Speaker 1: same way today, there are people whose brands in journalism 624 00:32:28,377 --> 00:32:30,337 Speaker 1: is that they actually do journalism, you know what I mean. 625 00:32:30,697 --> 00:32:34,657 Speaker 1: Like they're not actually a propagandist or a partisan activist 626 00:32:34,697 --> 00:32:35,977 Speaker 1: for one side of the other. They just they'll they'll 627 00:32:36,017 --> 00:32:37,577 Speaker 1: tell the stories that need to be told, and they 628 00:32:37,577 --> 00:32:39,777 Speaker 1: don't really care. And look, they're not perfect, but they're 629 00:32:39,897 --> 00:32:44,617 Speaker 1: that's that's a fair assessment of what their approach to 630 00:32:44,697 --> 00:32:47,817 Speaker 1: their work is. Nate Bargatzi is just a comedian. He's 631 00:32:47,817 --> 00:32:50,177 Speaker 1: actually just trying to tell jokes that make people laugh 632 00:32:50,257 --> 00:32:51,977 Speaker 1: that anyone can laugh at that are funny. I think 633 00:32:52,017 --> 00:32:53,897 Speaker 1: he does a great job.

Yeah, he does such a such a 641 00:33:17,017 --> 00:33:19,737 Speaker 1: good job.

I'll say, what they're teaching women? In 655 00:34:01,017 --> 00:34:04,777 Speaker 1: society today about how to conduct their private lives is 656 00:34:05,097 --> 00:34:09,097 Speaker 1: I think is super destructive. It's super destructive at a 657 00:34:09,137 --> 00:34:14,497 Speaker 1: civilizational I think that it's something that needs to really 658 00:34:14,617 --> 00:34:16,857 Speaker 1: be dealt with in a serious way as part of 659 00:34:16,937 --> 00:34:21,417 Speaker 1: an urgent conversation. I think that basically to be a 660 00:34:22,617 --> 00:34:27,097 Speaker 1: Democrat or a leftist feminist woman in America today is 661 00:34:27,137 --> 00:34:30,097 Speaker 1: to put yourself on an almost certain path to misery. 662 00:34:30,177 --> 00:34:33,857 Speaker 1: That is my basic contention. Yeah, I have to agree 663 00:34:33,857 --> 00:34:36,737 Speaker 1: with you. I think that women are allied to more 664 00:34:36,817 --> 00:34:39,977 Speaker 1: than anyone else in terms of relationships, and I think 665 00:34:40,017 --> 00:34:42,897 Speaker 1: that they're taught to not ask for what they want, 666 00:34:43,057 --> 00:34:46,537 Speaker 1: the idea that they can just date around and not 667 00:34:46,737 --> 00:34:49,617 Speaker 1: care about it. Women are different than men. And what's 668 00:34:49,857 --> 00:34:53,457 Speaker 1: interesting to me is that you know it comes from 669 00:34:53,497 --> 00:34:55,297 Speaker 1: the left, this whole idea of like, why would you 670 00:34:55,297 --> 00:34:57,057 Speaker 1: want to get married, You want to pursue your career. 671 00:34:57,537 --> 00:34:59,617 Speaker 1: I've never met a woman, and I think you and 672 00:34:59,657 --> 00:35:01,777 Speaker 1: I maybe even disagreed on this one, but I've never 673 00:35:01,857 --> 00:35:04,337 Speaker 1: met a woman who actually pursued a career over a man. 674 00:35:04,697 --> 00:35:07,417 Speaker 1: I know that there are women who pursued a career 675 00:35:07,457 --> 00:35:09,377 Speaker 1: and didn't get married. That happens, but there's plenty of 676 00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:11,897 Speaker 1: women who didn't or a career and didn't get married. 677 00:35:13,097 --> 00:35:15,257 Speaker 1: I've never met a woman who was on a good 678 00:35:15,297 --> 00:35:17,897 Speaker 1: career path who didn't also want to get married. But 679 00:35:18,337 --> 00:35:21,177 Speaker 1: it just they tell them that it doesn't matter that 680 00:35:21,417 --> 00:35:24,537 Speaker 1: you can be strong and amazing alone and you don't 681 00:35:24,537 --> 00:35:25,777 Speaker 1: need a man. What do you need a man for? 682 00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:29,217 Speaker 1: You could open your own jars. And it's just the 683 00:35:29,337 --> 00:35:33,177 Speaker 1: wrong message. And they teach that relationships are lame and 684 00:35:33,337 --> 00:35:37,417 Speaker 1: boring and only you know, the worst people want to 685 00:35:37,457 --> 00:35:39,057 Speaker 1: be in them. You want to be single and free. 686 00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:41,137 Speaker 1: And then when a woman realizes that that's all a lie, 687 00:35:41,417 --> 00:35:43,737 Speaker 1: a lot of times it's too late. Here's my contention. 688 00:35:43,817 --> 00:35:46,617 Speaker 1: I don't know if we've talked about this. I think 689 00:35:47,857 --> 00:35:50,737 Speaker 1: the show Sex in the City, as clever and entertaining 690 00:35:50,817 --> 00:35:55,657 Speaker 1: as it was, is it's almost as though the Commies 691 00:35:55,697 --> 00:35:57,377 Speaker 1: were trying to come up with a way to infiltrate 692 00:35:57,777 --> 00:36:02,617 Speaker 1: American culture and society, to destroy, to destroy male female 693 00:36:02,697 --> 00:36:05,897 Speaker 1: relationships from within, you know, to just have the whole 694 00:36:05,937 --> 00:36:09,337 Speaker 1: thing implode on itself. To me, that show is a 695 00:36:09,857 --> 00:36:14,777 Speaker 1: very entertaining, fifthy roadmap to misery for you know, as 696 00:36:14,817 --> 00:36:16,937 Speaker 1: somebody who lived in New York basically his whole life 697 00:36:16,977 --> 00:36:19,257 Speaker 1: till I moved to Florida. I just saw it. I 698 00:36:19,337 --> 00:36:21,577 Speaker 1: saw it all over the place, and I would see 699 00:36:21,617 --> 00:36:24,657 Speaker 1: these women money go ahead. Yeah. My counter to that 700 00:36:24,777 --> 00:36:28,337 Speaker 1: would be that eventually all of them got married and 701 00:36:28,377 --> 00:36:31,577 Speaker 1: settled down. The lie in that show is that it's 702 00:36:31,657 --> 00:36:34,257 Speaker 1: so easy to find a right the right person as 703 00:36:34,297 --> 00:36:37,537 Speaker 1: a woman when you're in your late thirties late forties 704 00:36:37,577 --> 00:36:40,817 Speaker 1: in that show, and that it's just you know, your Samantha, 705 00:36:40,857 --> 00:36:43,497 Speaker 1: and you're a high powered PR executive and you marry 706 00:36:43,577 --> 00:36:47,617 Speaker 1: like the hottest man anybody's ever seen, and that he's 707 00:36:47,617 --> 00:36:50,017 Speaker 1: gonna just be super all about you even though you're 708 00:36:50,057 --> 00:36:52,057 Speaker 1: in your fifties and he's in his twenties, and that's 709 00:36:52,057 --> 00:36:55,297 Speaker 1: going to make sense that generally does not happen. So 710 00:36:55,457 --> 00:36:57,857 Speaker 1: that's the kind of lies that that show told. I 711 00:36:58,017 --> 00:37:00,697 Speaker 1: think that. But the thing is that they all did 712 00:37:00,777 --> 00:37:05,057 Speaker 1: eventually kind of settle down into relationships, and that's ultimately 713 00:37:05,137 --> 00:37:07,217 Speaker 1: what they wanted. Well, you know, I guess not to 714 00:37:07,257 --> 00:37:08,617 Speaker 1: get too into this because it's like, why do I 715 00:37:08,657 --> 00:37:10,657 Speaker 1: know so much about this show? I mean, main character 716 00:37:10,817 --> 00:37:12,857 Speaker 1: never really does right as we know. Then, then the 717 00:37:12,937 --> 00:37:14,777 Speaker 1: movies were made and not that I saw the movies, 718 00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:17,137 Speaker 1: but you know, she ends up. She kind of does 719 00:37:17,177 --> 00:37:19,817 Speaker 1: and she kind of doesn't. But just the the chasing 720 00:37:20,017 --> 00:37:23,657 Speaker 1: of these career first lives that they have and and 721 00:37:23,737 --> 00:37:26,257 Speaker 1: the one character who doesn't really uh you know, the 722 00:37:26,457 --> 00:37:30,177 Speaker 1: burnette I can't really remember um Amery can't remember her name, 723 00:37:30,177 --> 00:37:33,937 Speaker 1: but anyway, her whole thing, and not like why does 724 00:37:33,977 --> 00:37:36,297 Speaker 1: Buck still think about Sex in the City. It was 725 00:37:36,417 --> 00:37:39,017 Speaker 1: very popular in HBO when I was, you know, high 726 00:37:39,057 --> 00:37:41,057 Speaker 1: school age. Everybody was watching it. I mean it was 727 00:37:41,097 --> 00:37:43,857 Speaker 1: a show that Beverly Hills nine two and HBO, I mean, 728 00:37:44,057 --> 00:37:46,137 Speaker 1: or Sex and the City and HBO. I mean, these 729 00:37:46,177 --> 00:37:48,417 Speaker 1: were the shows that everybody was watching. And I see 730 00:37:48,457 --> 00:37:49,977 Speaker 1: all these women. I mean, I remember when I graduated 731 00:37:50,057 --> 00:37:52,537 Speaker 1: from Amherst and there were all these women who were 732 00:37:52,577 --> 00:37:55,857 Speaker 1: rushing off to go work at Goldman Sachs and you know, 733 00:37:55,937 --> 00:37:58,817 Speaker 1: from my class. I remember thinking to myself, like, you know, 734 00:37:59,097 --> 00:38:01,657 Speaker 1: I'm a guy. If I want to spend my twenties, 735 00:38:01,737 --> 00:38:03,457 Speaker 1: and I went to the CIA and you know, then 736 00:38:03,537 --> 00:38:05,177 Speaker 1: did some other kind of crazy stuff, but that was 737 00:38:05,257 --> 00:38:07,457 Speaker 1: my choice. But if I if I was going to 738 00:38:07,537 --> 00:38:11,457 Speaker 1: spend my twenties, um making a lot of money, which 739 00:38:11,537 --> 00:38:13,257 Speaker 1: is what people going to invest in banking for. This 740 00:38:13,377 --> 00:38:15,257 Speaker 1: may be a shock and not so much anymore, but this, 741 00:38:15,457 --> 00:38:17,297 Speaker 1: you know, twenty years ago, is what people were doing. 742 00:38:19,177 --> 00:38:23,017 Speaker 1: I would assume that I'm mortgaging my twenties at some level, 743 00:38:23,097 --> 00:38:26,057 Speaker 1: like I'm just gonna burn out as much as i can, 744 00:38:26,417 --> 00:38:28,417 Speaker 1: get as much worked on, get as far as I can, 745 00:38:28,497 --> 00:38:30,217 Speaker 1: and make as much money as I can, and develop 746 00:38:30,257 --> 00:38:33,377 Speaker 1: as much prestige from the competency that I have as 747 00:38:33,457 --> 00:38:36,617 Speaker 1: I can. So then at thirty or thirty five, or 748 00:38:36,657 --> 00:38:39,577 Speaker 1: even forty or even forty five, I can turn around 749 00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:41,857 Speaker 1: and have my choice of mates. And I just feel 750 00:38:41,897 --> 00:38:44,257 Speaker 1: like no one ever stopped to tell the women who 751 00:38:44,297 --> 00:38:46,697 Speaker 1: showed up at Golden Sacks or and not just any 752 00:38:46,857 --> 00:38:50,217 Speaker 1: big firm or corporate law whatever, at any of these places. Hey, 753 00:38:50,737 --> 00:38:53,457 Speaker 1: you're twenty three or twenty four. If you do this 754 00:38:53,657 --> 00:38:56,457 Speaker 1: for the next ten years and this is really your focus, 755 00:38:56,977 --> 00:39:03,457 Speaker 1: your life choices are changed forever. Just understand that. Yeah, 756 00:39:03,777 --> 00:39:06,657 Speaker 1: So here's another way that the left destroys the path 757 00:39:06,737 --> 00:39:09,337 Speaker 1: to women. If you are one of these women and 758 00:39:09,417 --> 00:39:13,777 Speaker 1: you go into this high powered, high energy and high 759 00:39:13,857 --> 00:39:17,617 Speaker 1: earning environment, it would be great to meet a man there, 760 00:39:17,977 --> 00:39:20,417 Speaker 1: except men now can't hit on you in the workplace 761 00:39:20,537 --> 00:39:23,457 Speaker 1: because there they'd be sexual predators, and you're not allowed 762 00:39:23,457 --> 00:39:26,337 Speaker 1: to date at work, and there's all these issues around that. 763 00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:28,617 Speaker 1: But meeting somebody at work used to make a lot 764 00:39:28,697 --> 00:39:31,337 Speaker 1: of sense. And if you wanted to meet somebody who 765 00:39:31,777 --> 00:39:33,897 Speaker 1: was a go get or a Goldman Sax, there's really 766 00:39:33,937 --> 00:39:36,617 Speaker 1: not a better place to meet them than at Goldman Sax. 767 00:39:37,057 --> 00:39:41,017 Speaker 1: So it's again, the left is destroying the idea of 768 00:39:41,097 --> 00:39:44,337 Speaker 1: relationships for these women when that's ultimately what they're going 769 00:39:44,417 --> 00:39:47,457 Speaker 1: to want. And I do see a rise in a 770 00:39:47,537 --> 00:39:53,297 Speaker 1: willingness among conservatives in general now to speak with much 771 00:39:53,337 --> 00:39:56,937 Speaker 1: more forcefulness about about gender roles and about what's going 772 00:39:57,017 --> 00:40:00,457 Speaker 1: to make for a long term, happy plan. And you 773 00:40:00,497 --> 00:40:03,097 Speaker 1: know what society, right, there's everyone. Look, there's always going 774 00:40:03,137 --> 00:40:04,937 Speaker 1: to be somebody who just wants to travel the world 775 00:40:04,937 --> 00:40:07,257 Speaker 1: and write books. And that's fine. It's not that people 776 00:40:07,257 --> 00:40:09,617 Speaker 1: shouldn't have freedom and choice male, female or whatever, but 777 00:40:09,697 --> 00:40:14,617 Speaker 1: it's what does society offer as a path that should 778 00:40:14,657 --> 00:40:18,417 Speaker 1: be replicated in as great as great a frequency as 779 00:40:18,457 --> 00:40:24,337 Speaker 1: possible to create the most happy, productive and stable society possible. Right, 780 00:40:24,377 --> 00:40:26,817 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, every policy is going to have exceptions. 781 00:40:26,857 --> 00:40:29,017 Speaker 1: Everything in the macro, when you break it down to 782 00:40:29,137 --> 00:40:32,457 Speaker 1: an individual level, is going to have musications that are different. 783 00:40:32,537 --> 00:40:34,577 Speaker 1: That's fine. Where people say, well, do you think priests 784 00:40:34,617 --> 00:40:36,577 Speaker 1: are throwing their lives away or you know whatever, because 785 00:40:36,617 --> 00:40:39,577 Speaker 1: obviously they don't marry, it's no. Obviously there are people 786 00:40:39,657 --> 00:40:42,577 Speaker 1: that don't need to go down this pathway. But the 787 00:40:42,697 --> 00:40:45,417 Speaker 1: other pathway that they're told about, which is just and 788 00:40:45,737 --> 00:40:47,457 Speaker 1: it's for women, I'll tell you it's for guys too. 789 00:40:48,057 --> 00:40:52,377 Speaker 1: It's not good. You know. I think that telling people 790 00:40:52,777 --> 00:40:56,137 Speaker 1: to spend their twenties partying, drinking, and having sex with 791 00:40:56,217 --> 00:40:58,217 Speaker 1: as many women as they possibly can, which is what 792 00:40:58,977 --> 00:41:03,217 Speaker 1: socially successful males are basically told to do, not necessarily 793 00:41:03,297 --> 00:41:05,097 Speaker 1: as many as possible. But you know, there's a lot 794 00:41:05,177 --> 00:41:09,537 Speaker 1: of that that goes on that's not actually helpful for 795 00:41:10,297 --> 00:41:12,857 Speaker 1: and for those individuals. I think later on and people say, oh, 796 00:41:13,417 --> 00:41:14,857 Speaker 1: you know again, I've been married for two days and 797 00:41:14,937 --> 00:41:16,377 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I'm an expert and everything. But 798 00:41:16,457 --> 00:41:18,417 Speaker 1: I've known this stuff. I've known this stuff for a 799 00:41:18,497 --> 00:41:22,657 Speaker 1: long time. I'm coming up on fourteen years, so I 800 00:41:22,777 --> 00:41:26,257 Speaker 1: can definitely play the expert here. Yeah, men, are lied 801 00:41:26,297 --> 00:41:29,977 Speaker 1: to also, But again, like you said, the man's window 802 00:41:30,217 --> 00:41:32,577 Speaker 1: is just wider, and that's the only reason that the 803 00:41:32,657 --> 00:41:34,537 Speaker 1: men get away with it more than the women do. 804 00:41:35,417 --> 00:41:37,617 Speaker 1: There's plenty of men who have been destroyed by that 805 00:41:37,777 --> 00:41:40,337 Speaker 1: culture and who find themselves alone and maybe want to 806 00:41:40,377 --> 00:41:42,137 Speaker 1: get married but don't know how to connect, and they 807 00:41:42,177 --> 00:41:44,737 Speaker 1: spent their twenties just messing around with random girls, and 808 00:41:44,857 --> 00:41:46,777 Speaker 1: it is harder for them to find the right person 809 00:41:46,897 --> 00:41:49,137 Speaker 1: for themselves. So one of the other ways that the 810 00:41:49,297 --> 00:41:52,297 Speaker 1: left tells women that they have to like certain things 811 00:41:52,377 --> 00:41:54,417 Speaker 1: and they can't like other things, and they just don't 812 00:41:54,457 --> 00:41:57,097 Speaker 1: think that men get the same message That show madmen. 813 00:41:57,337 --> 00:42:01,537 Speaker 1: You know about the ad executives on Madison Avenue in 814 00:42:01,537 --> 00:42:04,257 Speaker 1: the sixties, there was the character played by John Hamm 815 00:42:04,297 --> 00:42:08,177 Speaker 1: and he was like this hard drinking, chain smoking, you know, womanizing, 816 00:42:08,657 --> 00:42:11,577 Speaker 1: just jerk, And all these liberal magazines would write these 817 00:42:11,657 --> 00:42:14,257 Speaker 1: like tehehe pieces about how attracted they were to the 818 00:42:14,377 --> 00:42:17,017 Speaker 1: character Don Draper and how they knew that they weren't 819 00:42:17,017 --> 00:42:19,417 Speaker 1: supposed to be. But men don't really have that, you 820 00:42:19,697 --> 00:42:21,417 Speaker 1: you know, you don't really have the like I'm attracted 821 00:42:21,457 --> 00:42:23,657 Speaker 1: to the cocktail Wagers, but I feel so bad about it. 822 00:42:24,017 --> 00:42:26,937 Speaker 1: But the left makes women feel bad about what they're 823 00:42:26,937 --> 00:42:29,657 Speaker 1: attracted to, and that's crazy. What you're attracted to is 824 00:42:29,657 --> 00:42:31,977 Speaker 1: what you're attracted to. And the fact that you know 825 00:42:32,137 --> 00:42:34,857 Speaker 1: Don Draper did it for so many women is a 826 00:42:35,017 --> 00:42:37,937 Speaker 1: sign that they liked a more powerful guy and that 827 00:42:38,057 --> 00:42:39,897 Speaker 1: you weren't supposed to like him, and you knew you 828 00:42:39,977 --> 00:42:42,257 Speaker 1: weren't supposed to like him. Is what the left and 829 00:42:42,377 --> 00:42:44,417 Speaker 1: force is here. So you used to live in Brooklyn, 830 00:42:44,657 --> 00:42:47,417 Speaker 1: so you know plenty of people on the left, and 831 00:42:48,737 --> 00:42:52,097 Speaker 1: you're cool, so you have cool left wing friends. Did 832 00:42:52,177 --> 00:42:55,897 Speaker 1: any of your cool left wing female friends, to your knowledge, 833 00:42:56,657 --> 00:42:59,577 Speaker 1: actually think that a guy that was interested in them 834 00:42:59,657 --> 00:43:04,497 Speaker 1: romantically who described himself as a male feminist was doing 835 00:43:04,617 --> 00:43:08,577 Speaker 1: himself any favors. I think the ones that I knew 836 00:43:09,537 --> 00:43:12,897 Speaker 1: knew that any male feminist was likely just China get 837 00:43:12,977 --> 00:43:16,337 Speaker 1: in their pants. But you know, I know that there's 838 00:43:16,377 --> 00:43:21,337 Speaker 1: a wider world where the male feminist does enjoy some 839 00:43:22,377 --> 00:43:25,577 Speaker 1: you know, perks of being a male feminist. I also 840 00:43:25,617 --> 00:43:28,137 Speaker 1: I lived on a commune in Scotland where everybody was 841 00:43:28,177 --> 00:43:31,297 Speaker 1: a male feminist. And yeah, the ones who could successfully 842 00:43:31,857 --> 00:43:34,497 Speaker 1: argue their case and make it seem like they weren't 843 00:43:34,537 --> 00:43:37,057 Speaker 1: just after one thing did quite well with the ladies. 844 00:43:37,857 --> 00:43:41,017 Speaker 1: It's just stunning, stunning the scams that people could pull off. 845 00:43:42,137 --> 00:43:45,897 Speaker 1: Do you think that there's a room or a necessity 846 00:43:45,977 --> 00:43:50,097 Speaker 1: even for the right and for the Republican Party to 847 00:43:51,057 --> 00:43:58,417 Speaker 1: really start to articulate a family and you know, traditional 848 00:43:58,577 --> 00:44:01,697 Speaker 1: family values agenda again, I feel like it fell off. 849 00:44:01,817 --> 00:44:02,937 Speaker 1: I used to hear about this all the time in 850 00:44:02,937 --> 00:44:05,417 Speaker 1: the nineties. Oh you know that, you know, traditional family. 851 00:44:05,497 --> 00:44:08,057 Speaker 1: Various people talk about Philish Laughley and how she defeated 852 00:44:08,057 --> 00:44:10,577 Speaker 1: the Eagle Rights amament, and there was all this discussion 853 00:44:10,617 --> 00:44:13,217 Speaker 1: of you know, you know, focus on the family, support 854 00:44:13,257 --> 00:44:15,977 Speaker 1: the family. It fell off, and it does feel like 855 00:44:16,137 --> 00:44:20,177 Speaker 1: now the left and the Democrat Party is just at 856 00:44:20,217 --> 00:44:23,297 Speaker 1: its core run by a lot of unhappy you know, 857 00:44:23,457 --> 00:44:27,657 Speaker 1: cat ladies with blue hair and nose rings, right, And 858 00:44:28,097 --> 00:44:29,937 Speaker 1: I think there should be but it has to be 859 00:44:30,057 --> 00:44:32,377 Speaker 1: done in a cooler way. I mean, social media just 860 00:44:32,537 --> 00:44:35,617 Speaker 1: changed everything. So now the left has on social media, 861 00:44:35,777 --> 00:44:40,057 Speaker 1: like you know, polyamory is very popular on social media, 862 00:44:40,457 --> 00:44:43,017 Speaker 1: and you have these couples like arguing on social media. 863 00:44:43,097 --> 00:44:45,617 Speaker 1: How you know, monogamy is so out and it's so 864 00:44:45,777 --> 00:44:48,257 Speaker 1: outdated and it's like, do you think you're the first 865 00:44:48,337 --> 00:44:50,697 Speaker 1: people to try this? Like, do you think that throughout 866 00:44:50,817 --> 00:44:55,497 Speaker 1: civilizations they haven't considered the idea of being with multiple partners? 867 00:44:55,577 --> 00:44:58,057 Speaker 1: You're not that unique, and yet you think that you 868 00:44:58,177 --> 00:45:00,217 Speaker 1: come up with this new idea that's going to work 869 00:45:00,417 --> 00:45:04,737 Speaker 1: for only you and nobody else, you know, throughout history, 870 00:45:05,057 --> 00:45:07,177 Speaker 1: And the fact is it never works. And that's why 871 00:45:07,257 --> 00:45:10,217 Speaker 1: people settle onto monogamy. It's not because we don't have 872 00:45:10,297 --> 00:45:13,417 Speaker 1: the imagination to consider having multiple partners, is because it's 873 00:45:13,457 --> 00:45:16,897 Speaker 1: always a fail. And so I think the right should 874 00:45:17,017 --> 00:45:21,577 Speaker 1: target this kind of messaging and show relationships as being 875 00:45:21,657 --> 00:45:25,297 Speaker 1: a positive thing. If relationships are always a downer, I 876 00:45:25,377 --> 00:45:28,057 Speaker 1: can see why the marriage rate is decreasing, but you know, 877 00:45:28,257 --> 00:45:30,897 Speaker 1: even beyond just the marriage rate, which is a problem, 878 00:45:30,977 --> 00:45:33,017 Speaker 1: and then the birth rate, you know, declining is a 879 00:45:33,097 --> 00:45:37,777 Speaker 1: giant problem. People are having fewer relationships, they're having fewer friendships. 880 00:45:37,857 --> 00:45:40,497 Speaker 1: All of this is very bad for our society and 881 00:45:40,617 --> 00:45:42,577 Speaker 1: it needs to be turned around, and it has to 882 00:45:42,657 --> 00:45:45,577 Speaker 1: be turned around in a smart way, and social media 883 00:45:45,697 --> 00:45:48,497 Speaker 1: really should be utilized in this pursuit. Do you think 884 00:45:48,977 --> 00:45:53,537 Speaker 1: I think it's Professor Scott Galloway at Nyu who you know, 885 00:45:54,217 --> 00:45:56,817 Speaker 1: spits fire about Trump and says a lot of things 886 00:45:56,857 --> 00:45:59,057 Speaker 1: I think about the right in general that are are 887 00:45:59,217 --> 00:46:02,537 Speaker 1: not intelligent and not well thought out. But he does 888 00:46:02,657 --> 00:46:06,777 Speaker 1: say some things on social broader social issues you know, 889 00:46:06,817 --> 00:46:08,417 Speaker 1: think I'm talking about. By the way, he's started to 890 00:46:08,457 --> 00:46:09,697 Speaker 1: pick up a lot of team. He's been on Bill 891 00:46:09,777 --> 00:46:13,577 Speaker 1: Maher recently. He's there tiktoks and things like that with him. Um, 892 00:46:14,257 --> 00:46:18,537 Speaker 1: but he talks about what he calls uh por Porsche polygamy, 893 00:46:19,097 --> 00:46:22,137 Speaker 1: and he says that in the world of dating apps, 894 00:46:22,537 --> 00:46:24,737 Speaker 1: which you know, everyone's always walking around coming up with 895 00:46:24,817 --> 00:46:27,817 Speaker 1: their story for how they met their person that is 896 00:46:28,937 --> 00:46:30,657 Speaker 1: not we met on a dating app. It's kind of 897 00:46:30,657 --> 00:46:33,017 Speaker 1: funny right when you realize right now, I mean, it's 898 00:46:33,097 --> 00:46:36,857 Speaker 1: it's gone to the point where, um, if you're not 899 00:46:36,977 --> 00:46:39,017 Speaker 1: on dating apps, actually you're almost not in the dating 900 00:46:39,057 --> 00:46:42,177 Speaker 1: pool if you're a single person, because it's there's just 901 00:46:42,297 --> 00:46:45,217 Speaker 1: such a there's been such a change, and people don't 902 00:46:45,217 --> 00:46:49,377 Speaker 1: go to nightclubs anymore the same way, you know, because 903 00:46:49,417 --> 00:46:52,937 Speaker 1: it works and because this is but you also work, 904 00:46:53,057 --> 00:46:56,537 Speaker 1: they're not allowed to meet at work anymore, which oh yeah, 905 00:46:56,537 --> 00:46:59,977 Speaker 1: they're not. You're oh no, you're you're definitely it's very suspect. 906 00:47:00,017 --> 00:47:02,097 Speaker 1: I mean I I, for example, I've never dated anybody 907 00:47:02,177 --> 00:47:04,217 Speaker 1: at a company, never mind like a direct report or 908 00:47:04,257 --> 00:47:06,297 Speaker 1: anything like that. I've never dated anybody at a company 909 00:47:06,497 --> 00:47:09,017 Speaker 1: where I have been an employee, with the exception of 910 00:47:09,097 --> 00:47:11,977 Speaker 1: the CIA. But like that's you know, like that's like 911 00:47:12,137 --> 00:47:14,577 Speaker 1: going to a that that's enormous. And you know, there's 912 00:47:14,897 --> 00:47:16,737 Speaker 1: you want to think about the CIA is if you 913 00:47:16,777 --> 00:47:18,177 Speaker 1: don't want to see the person you're dating to the 914 00:47:18,257 --> 00:47:20,817 Speaker 1: CIA again, you never will because you know who knows 915 00:47:20,857 --> 00:47:24,977 Speaker 1: whether to be said next. But in a you know, 916 00:47:25,097 --> 00:47:27,257 Speaker 1: even there there were very kind of strict rules about 917 00:47:27,297 --> 00:47:29,497 Speaker 1: about reporting requirements and things like that if you had 918 00:47:29,537 --> 00:47:32,297 Speaker 1: a relationship internally, you know, in the same office or 919 00:47:32,297 --> 00:47:37,097 Speaker 1: anything like that. I just think that you have this 920 00:47:37,297 --> 00:47:40,897 Speaker 1: situation where women are being and maybe now this is 921 00:47:40,937 --> 00:47:43,617 Speaker 1: getting a more contentious territory. Women are being trained to 922 00:47:43,697 --> 00:47:47,097 Speaker 1: think like men in their dating selection. And you see 923 00:47:47,137 --> 00:47:50,417 Speaker 1: that so Zi Gallery talks about porship, progresivism, sorry portship 924 00:47:50,497 --> 00:47:54,537 Speaker 1: polygamy where he says that eighty percent of the women 925 00:47:55,217 --> 00:47:57,417 Speaker 1: have an interest in only twenty percent of the men. 926 00:47:57,497 --> 00:48:00,937 Speaker 1: Basically that you have this and and that women are 927 00:48:01,177 --> 00:48:06,977 Speaker 1: instead of choosing for things that require more of a relationship. 928 00:48:07,017 --> 00:48:09,337 Speaker 1: Basis to understand, I know the flip side of this 929 00:48:09,417 --> 00:48:13,097 Speaker 1: women's but men are so superficial, which brings us to 930 00:48:13,217 --> 00:48:17,617 Speaker 1: the Yes, men are more superficial about women's appearance than women. 931 00:48:17,657 --> 00:48:18,817 Speaker 1: That this is the way it has been in all 932 00:48:18,857 --> 00:48:21,297 Speaker 1: of human history until now. But you have all these 933 00:48:21,337 --> 00:48:22,937 Speaker 1: women who are saying I won't get a guy who's 934 00:48:23,017 --> 00:48:25,777 Speaker 1: under six foot two, and I you know, and I 935 00:48:25,897 --> 00:48:27,617 Speaker 1: want a guy with a six pack, and I want 936 00:48:27,617 --> 00:48:29,417 Speaker 1: a guy with like lots of tattoos all over his 937 00:48:29,577 --> 00:48:32,777 Speaker 1: arms and these sorts of things, And that this is 938 00:48:32,937 --> 00:48:36,657 Speaker 1: creating a society where thirty percent of men, I think 939 00:48:36,657 --> 00:48:38,817 Speaker 1: he said this is again from Scott Gallery, thirty percent 940 00:48:38,857 --> 00:48:41,377 Speaker 1: of men under thirty haven't had a sexual relationship in 941 00:48:41,377 --> 00:48:45,857 Speaker 1: the last year. That's main blowing, right, And are the women, 942 00:48:46,057 --> 00:48:48,337 Speaker 1: I mean, are the women having sexual relationships because if 943 00:48:48,497 --> 00:48:50,777 Speaker 1: it seems like the eighty percent can't be just sleeping 944 00:48:50,817 --> 00:48:54,057 Speaker 1: with the twenty percent, right, So you know, it's it's funny. 945 00:48:54,137 --> 00:48:57,337 Speaker 1: You're right, men do go for looks more than you 946 00:48:57,417 --> 00:49:00,937 Speaker 1: know women do or have. Maybe that's changing now, but 947 00:49:01,097 --> 00:49:04,057 Speaker 1: women used to go for security and I don't think 948 00:49:04,097 --> 00:49:06,657 Speaker 1: that was a bad thing. I don't think, you know, 949 00:49:06,817 --> 00:49:09,737 Speaker 1: women choosing partners who are not going to be bad 950 00:49:09,777 --> 00:49:13,417 Speaker 1: toa is a bad thing. I don't know. I really 951 00:49:13,497 --> 00:49:16,457 Speaker 1: don't understand the concept that I see a lot on 952 00:49:16,537 --> 00:49:19,377 Speaker 1: social media now where the woman only wants the guy 953 00:49:19,417 --> 00:49:21,617 Speaker 1: who doesn't want her, And that makes no sense to me. 954 00:49:21,857 --> 00:49:25,017 Speaker 1: That's like, I can't imagine liking somebody who does not 955 00:49:25,097 --> 00:49:27,537 Speaker 1: like me. That just does not compute at all. And 956 00:49:27,657 --> 00:49:30,337 Speaker 1: that's like what's happening now that they're being kind of 957 00:49:30,417 --> 00:49:33,137 Speaker 1: trained to like the ones who will never like them back. 958 00:49:33,577 --> 00:49:37,657 Speaker 1: I also think that there's this again, there's this desire 959 00:49:37,737 --> 00:49:40,017 Speaker 1: to treat men and women as though the same, whether 960 00:49:40,057 --> 00:49:42,697 Speaker 1: it's in sports now and all this stuff, that there's 961 00:49:42,737 --> 00:49:47,377 Speaker 1: this same enforced sameness that does not exist. Men and 962 00:49:47,457 --> 00:49:52,657 Speaker 1: women process sexual relationships differently emotionally. I don't know. People say, oh, 963 00:49:52,697 --> 00:49:54,417 Speaker 1: I know women that could you know they can sleep 964 00:49:54,457 --> 00:49:57,497 Speaker 1: with a hundred guys, and it's a no, Actually, it 965 00:49:57,697 --> 00:49:59,737 Speaker 1: really is just not true. And they can tell themselves 966 00:49:59,777 --> 00:50:02,737 Speaker 1: this as much as they want, But the psychological toll 967 00:50:02,977 --> 00:50:05,777 Speaker 1: on women of conducting themselves this way, and I've seen 968 00:50:05,897 --> 00:50:07,817 Speaker 1: it from plenty of women that I know, and plenty 969 00:50:07,857 --> 00:50:10,137 Speaker 1: women I know who never get in the number. It 970 00:50:10,177 --> 00:50:11,577 Speaker 1: would be stunning, I think, to the people in the 971 00:50:11,617 --> 00:50:14,897 Speaker 1: rest of the country. The number of really good looking, 972 00:50:15,457 --> 00:50:19,297 Speaker 1: really interesting and compelling in a whole range of ways 973 00:50:19,977 --> 00:50:23,057 Speaker 1: women in New York City thirty five to forty five 974 00:50:23,377 --> 00:50:26,457 Speaker 1: that are not married, we'll probably never get married, and 975 00:50:26,497 --> 00:50:28,497 Speaker 1: we'll probably never have children. I think would blow the 976 00:50:28,577 --> 00:50:30,977 Speaker 1: minds of people who don't live in you know, DC 977 00:50:31,257 --> 00:50:35,537 Speaker 1: or LA or you know San Francisco. Yeah, I think 978 00:50:35,577 --> 00:50:40,017 Speaker 1: that big cities have the worst problem of telling women 979 00:50:41,457 --> 00:50:43,577 Speaker 1: what they should be interested in and what they should 980 00:50:43,577 --> 00:50:45,497 Speaker 1: be looking for, and how that really doesn't fit in 981 00:50:45,617 --> 00:50:47,937 Speaker 1: with what women are and what we actually feel and 982 00:50:48,057 --> 00:50:50,017 Speaker 1: all those other things. You're right, we're not the same. 983 00:50:50,097 --> 00:50:51,377 Speaker 1: I don't know why we need to be the same. 984 00:50:51,457 --> 00:50:52,697 Speaker 1: I don't want to be like a man.
