1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Welcome again our number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Reaction pouring 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: in to the controversy of Harrison Bucker and his speech 4 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: at a Catholic college we have shared and I just 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: retweeted the clips themselves if you want to go watch them, 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: and again, I think it's an illustrative moment in how 7 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: we talk dishonestly about what true controversy is. And I 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: do think and I'm going to take some of your 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: calls here in a moment. A couple of things that 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: are going on the cross examination of Michael Cohen continuing 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: in the Trump trial in New York City. We talked 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: about yesterday the agreement that there would be a June 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: and September presidential debate. There also now is an agreed 14 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: upon date for the vice presidential debate. I'll ask the 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: team it's going to be in July, I believe, But 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: the exact date of that vice presidential debate we will 17 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: grab for you and share here on the show soon. 18 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the official date yet, if the team 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: will give me the official date. And the reason why 20 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: I bring that up is it could implicate certainly would 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: seem to implicate the day by which Donald Trump must 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: have to make a decision on who his vice president 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: is going to be, so that that vice president could 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: have the opportunity. One of those vice presidential contender is 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: going to be talking with us in roughly an hour 26 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: when Tulca Gabbard will join this program. So that is 27 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: where we are headed. One thing that I don't think 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: gets talked about enough though in this controversy surrounding Harrison 29 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: Butker's analysis of both men women gender roles and what 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: it means to be Catholic in modern society is there 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: is still a major age gap because of biology in 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: when men and women have to make decisions. And I 33 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: definitely don't think this gets talked about enough, and I'm 34 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: going to be candid with you. I don't think a 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: lot of young men think about it very often. Now. 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: I became a dad at twenty eight years old. There 37 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: are all different sorts of ages at which men become dads. 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: So I've got a sixteen year old son now, one 39 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: that will be off in college soon. And for someone 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: who went to law school and didn't finish his education 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: until twenty five years old, twenty eight is a relatively 42 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 1: young dad, if, for instance, you are a lawyer or 43 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: you are a doctor out there and you go on 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: to get an advanced degree. I never really thought much 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: about at what age I needed to become a father, 46 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: because in my mind, I could become a dad in 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: my thirties and my forties and my fifties without really 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: having to think very much, because men can have children 49 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: for their whole lives, and I think there are a 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: lot of men who contemplate that and in the back 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: of their mind. It's why there isn't sort of this 52 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: age crunch. If you're thirty three and you are a 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: guy and you're out there dating, you don't have a 54 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: biological clock really ticking in your head the same way 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: a thirty three year old woman would. Well, when you 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: are telling women, go get your education, go get your 57 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: graduate degree, begin to climb the corporate ladder, a thirty 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: two year old woman and her perspective on career is 59 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: very different than a thirty two year old man's perspective 60 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: on career. And I don't even hear anybody hardly ever 61 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: talk about that, but I think it's a huge reason 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: why there is not necessarily a meeting of the minds 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: in the same way. Because a thirty two year old guy, 64 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: you can think, hey, I don't have any rush, I 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: can have kids whenever I want. I'm going to focus 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: completely on my career. A thirty two year old woman 67 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: really has a major in her mind. Time crunch a foot, 68 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: so if you're working all the time. I'm trying to 69 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: think from the perspective of women, which I don't think 70 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: gets talked about enough, given that women are getting advanced degrees. 71 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: For instance, in my law school class, there were more 72 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: women than there were men. That was a new thing. 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: But women are getting sixty percent of college degrees. Now, 74 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: women are overwhelmingly going to grad school. You're not coming 75 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: out of grad school till you're twenty five or twenty 76 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: six years old. And if you come out of grad 77 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: school at twenty five or twenty six years old and 78 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: you spent one hundred thousand dollars or more to get 79 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: that graduate degree, yeah, a lot of times have loans. 80 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: You're going to get run right into the process by 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: which you become a professional, start to play at payoff 82 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: those loans, and thirty happens really fast. And I don't 83 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: know that there's a lot of discussion going on about 84 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: the challenges that that brings to bear, and then I 85 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: think you're ending up with a lot of women, the 86 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: number of women that I know personally who are incredibly 87 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: successful that can't find men and are now freezing their 88 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: eggs because they're terrified about not being able to have children, 89 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: because they're sitting there at thirty four, thirty five years old, 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: very successful, but cannot find a man that they want 91 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: to be married to. Because a lot of men candidly 92 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: are not, let's be honest, not really pursuing masculine ideals. 93 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: I think this is the downside of sort of this 94 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: genderless society that we're creating. Maybe I'm old school. I 95 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: said in the first hour, it made me physically ill 96 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: that I didn't make enough money that my family could 97 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: not have me take care of them completely based on 98 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: what I earned. Because to me, again you can say 99 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm a caveman. To me, a man should pursue success 100 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: such that he can take care of his entire family. 101 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: That to me is the primary goal of a man. 102 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: Take care of your children, take care of your family, 103 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: And historically that was the primary province of masculinity. Be 104 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: as successful as you can to take care of your 105 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: entire family. Now, there can be challenges with that. For men, 106 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you out there listening have probably struggled 107 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: with work life balance. I work all the time and 108 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: have for about fifteen years, eighty hour or more weeks. 109 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: My dad worked forty hour weeks. I think he's a 110 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: better dad than I have been. I've had more financial success, 111 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: but he focused more on parenting. He also became a dad, 112 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: by the way, a little bit later. I think a 113 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,679 Speaker 1: lot of men are better dads later. He was almost 114 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: thirty five when I was born. I was twenty eight 115 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: when mine was born. It's tough when you're in your 116 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: twenties and your thirties. You're going full speed and you're 117 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: trying to build a career. Now I've had success, and 118 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: some of you notice, I try to take vacations with 119 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: my family. You know, every time I'm not on the show, 120 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: I get an email from people saying, why are you 121 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: taking off? Why are you not there? Because this job, 122 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: while I love it, it doesn't define me. It's what 123 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: I do, it's not what I am. And I've come 124 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: to that now that I'm in my forties. Hey, we 125 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: went to Australia. I always wanted to go to Australia. 126 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: My boys are growing up, you get off to college, 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: they're going to be busy. Really, we try to travel 128 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: around Christmas because a lot of you know, that's like 129 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: the only time when sports season isn't going on for kids, 130 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: it's when they don't have the extracurricular activities. I took 131 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: them to Australia last year. I took them to Italy. 132 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to be doing the showdown from the beach 133 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: during Memorial Day Week. I'm fortunate I've got a studio 134 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: to use down there, but I want to be spending 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: as much time with my kids as I possibly can. 136 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: I work all the time, probably too much, if you're 137 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: being honest, if you were going to criticize me, because 138 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: in the back of my mom I'm always thinking about 139 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: that feeling of having my kids in daycare and feeling 140 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: like a failure because I wasn't providing enough for my 141 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: family such that my wife didn't have to work. By 142 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: the way, my wife's brilliant, probably smarter than me in 143 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: terms of testing, for sure. Vanderbilt Law grad Vanderbilt graduate 144 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: of the Grad School there, University of Michigan Grad. Sorry, 145 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: Ohio State fans. I'm not saying that women can't work 146 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: or should it work, or by the way, that the 147 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: woman can't be the primary bread winner in a household. 148 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: That's certainly possible in many different societies. I'm saying the 149 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: goal should be to provide choice to your family to 150 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: do whatever is best for them. And by the way, 151 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: there's a big difference. I think most moms and dads 152 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: would acknowledge between taking care of a kid when they're 153 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: two or three years old or a newborn, and taking 154 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: care of a kid when they're ten, going back to 155 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: school when somebody's when your kids are in school all 156 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: the time, more going and taking a full time job 157 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: when your kids are in school all the time is 158 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: something that I think makes a lot of sense for 159 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: many families. And so the idea that a man saying, hey, men, 160 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: you need to do a better job, and women, you 161 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: need to think about what does success look like in 162 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: your life? Is it going to be climbing the corporate 163 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: ladder such that when you're thirty seven, you're childless and 164 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: you look around and you say to yourself, boy, I 165 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: really feel fulfilled here, or is it going to be 166 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: acknowledging that you're trying to balance many different things in 167 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: a way, frankly because of biology, that men don't have 168 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: to have these contemplated thoughts. And by the way, if 169 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: you have kids, there's a reason biologically why a lot 170 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: of twenty four year old girls are like a decade 171 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: older in their mental maturity than twenty four year old boys. 172 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: You notice this. A lot of young men are total knuckleheads. 173 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: I always like to say, there there's a reason why 174 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: no woman has ever had her final two words be 175 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: watch this. Men do stupid things to get women's attention 176 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: for most of our lives. Watch this next thing. You know, 177 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: he's jumping off the diving board and he's he's knocked 178 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: himself out jump too high off of a diving board. 179 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: Women never say watch this and then do something stupid. 180 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Men do it all the time. Watch this. I'm gonna 181 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: light these eight fireworks together all at once. Oh, there's 182 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: my hand, it's gone. Men do stupid things all the 183 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: time to try to get women's attention. The younger the 184 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: men are, the dumber they are. And this goes to 185 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: crime too. You ever notice how Grandpa's they never rob banks. 186 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: You never see somebody on a walker trying to get 187 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: away with one hundred thousand dollars in cash that he 188 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: just took out of a bank. As men get older, 189 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: we get smarter make better decisions. Every man listening to 190 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: me right now can think back on something he did 191 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: between the ages of sixteen and twenty four that in 192 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: retrospect he's like, yeah, I probably should have died. And 193 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: by the way, if you can't do it, then you 194 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: have a friend that you one hundred percent are amazed 195 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: he's still alive because he made such maronic decisions for 196 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: much of your youth. So men mature later than women, 197 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: and even now a lot of men don't mature. You 198 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: know what the data reflects in this ancient, anxious generation 199 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: the Jonathan Hate Book, women are having high levels of 200 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: suicidal ideation thirty percent of teenage women because of they 201 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: think social media. The Internet impacts genders differently. Boys buy 202 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: and large get seduced by porn and video games, and 203 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of them fail to launch as a result. 204 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: They don't actually have ambition, They don't pursue anything, and 205 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: so they sit around in their house. And there's probably 206 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: some of you right now with teenage boys twenty something 207 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: boys in your house. They move back in and they're 208 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: sitting around playing video games, looking at porn all day. 209 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: They don't even date. You know, this is a big issue. 210 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: Because of the access of porn. A lot of men 211 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: don't even interact with women anymore. So Harrison Buker saying, Hey, 212 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that are going wrong. Maybe 213 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: we should address them, Maybe we should acknowledge them. Maybe 214 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: we should have these big national discussions and debates. Maybe 215 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: the marketplace of ideas should actually work. Maybe the national 216 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: malaise that we all feel collectively gripping this country, a 217 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: failure of purpose, of basically ambition on behalf of both 218 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: men and women pursuing the wrong goals because we think 219 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: they're more remunerative than maybe they actually are. That seems 220 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: like a big nowtional debate and discussion that we should 221 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: be having as a country. And then somebody comes out 222 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: and points out some of these things, and immediately the 223 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: NFL says, oh, our dei vice president understand these are 224 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: unacceptable views. What what did he say that's unacceptable or 225 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: even controversial? I always say, I say what Seventy five 226 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: or eighty percent of Americans agree with and it's considered 227 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: controversial because the twenty five percent or the twenty percent 228 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: has to shepherd what's allowed to be said, and so 229 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: they attack somebody like me. Go read out Kick Company, 230 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: I sold three years ago to Fox. It's the least 231 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: controversial sports site on the planet. Yet it's the only 232 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: sports site on the planet that will say, yeah, women's 233 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: sports shouldn't have men pretending to be women. We don't 234 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: think it's heroic that a man could win a swimming 235 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: contest and have a penis going against a woman. Oh 236 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: my god, that clay that out kicks my boy. They're 237 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: super controversial. Oh yeah, really, I would actually suggest that 238 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: a man pretending to be a woman and winning a 239 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: women's championship is actually the controversial thing. Not pointing out 240 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: this subsurdity going on right now in Australia as we speak, 241 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: five dudes pretending to be chicks dominating an Australian soccer league. 242 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: Pointing at that and saying yeah, that's wrong, as we 243 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: did today on OutKick, that's not controversial. Saying that a 244 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: lot of women are being sold a bill of goods 245 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: and likely to end up happier married with children that 246 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: by pursuing simply career success. That a lot of men 247 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: out there are failing to be the heads of households, 248 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: and as a result, society is failing its children. That 249 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: all seems readily apparent to me. We know the problem. 250 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's time to actually have these conversations and discuss solutions. 251 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: But no solutions. Oh that's too controversial. I promise I'll 252 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: take your will when we come back.

Brenda and Milwaukee. What you got 281 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: for us? 282 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: I appreciate your introspection as a man and as a dad. 283 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: You spoke to this issue much more eloquently than Bucker did. 284 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: But as a conservative woman and a mom and a 285 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: career lady, I think what kind of rankled a lot 286 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: of women, including me, is that when he told all 287 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: the women in the room that they've been lied to. 288 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 2: You know, a great job and your degree gails, but 289 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: we all know you'd rather stay home and be a 290 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: wife and mother. Right. That was very I don't know, 291 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: dismissive a little bit. Man's fining baby in there? Is 292 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: this just a huge gender based assumption. 293 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: And let me ask you this, if a woman had 294 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: said the exact same thing to the women graduates, what 295 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: would your thoughts have been? 296 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: I would have also been irritated by that. Okay, I 297 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 2: think that. I mean, all we want is, like like 298 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: you said a minute ago, is just the choice. It's 299 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: just the choice, you know, not to assume that that's 300 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: everybody's goal. 301 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: How many kids do you have? 302 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 2: I have three, three girls? 303 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: And did you work the whole time while you were 304 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: raising the three girls? 305 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: I did. I was lucky. I'm in a medical field. 306 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: I'm a nurse practitioner. I was a bedside nurse when 307 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: they were little, so I did shift work and I 308 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: was able to be home with them a lot, go 309 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: on field trips.

Brenda and 343 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Milwaukee was with us. Brenda, you raised three daughters. Congratulations, 344 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: happy belated Mother's Day, and you worked. I believe as 345 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: a nurse practitioner. If I'm remembering our call as we 346 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: went to break, I asked you to hang on question 347 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: for you and you can correct me if I got 348 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: any of that wrong, because I tried to remember it 349 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: over the commercial break. If and you said you had 350 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:37,120 Speaker 1: an ex husband, If your husband, if your husband had 351 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: been a millionaire like Harrison butker Is, and he had 352 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: come to you and he says, hey, we've got three daughters. 353 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: Your job is great, but I'd like for you to 354 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: be able to stay home with the girls. You would 355 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: have that choice. What choice do you think you would 356 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: have made as a mother if you'd had a millionaire 357 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: husband who made plenty of money for the family to 358 00:19:59,320 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: be taken care of. 359 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a very rare occurrence, let's be real true. 360 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to be a million dollars right 361 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: depending on where you live. There could be a lot 362 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: of people out there if whether it's the breadwinner, to 363 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: be fair, can be a man or a woman, and 364 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: a lot of the country, if you make one hundred 365 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, you can live a very good 366 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: life for family, which is what a lot My parents 367 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: neither one ever made more than fifty thousand dollars a year. 368 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: I think the most they ever made as a combined 369 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: couple was sixty five thousand dollars a year. They both 370 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: had to work. But there's a lot of parts of 371 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: the country still where you make one hundred thousand dollars 372 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: a year, you can live pretty well. But I'm giving 373 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: you a big number there for a million. In other words, 374 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: for you personally, how much of your decision to work 375 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: was a financial requirement versus a that you just loved 376 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: working so much more than you would have loved being 377 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: able to be a full time mom. 378 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something I've asked myself before. I would have 379 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: had to have a very wealthy husband for me to 380 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: not want to work. Yeah, And it's not that I 381 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: need to be this big career lady. It's just that 382 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 2: I felt like I had something to offer. And I 383 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: tell you now that I'm in my late forties and 384 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: my kids are in college and they're not home, I'm 385 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: glad I have this. You know, I've got this fulfilling 386 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: career in something to focus my energy on. 387 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: That totally makes Thank you for the call, burn, That 388 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: totally makes sense. And that's why again, to me, the 389 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: key here is choice. Choice is a luxury in life. 390 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: If you have financial security, you have flexibility. You can 391 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: decide to work, you can both decide to work, you 392 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: can do different things. A lot of moms out there, 393 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: in my experience may take off when their kids are 394 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: super young and then go back to work when they 395 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: go back into school. I think there's a variety of 396 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: different perspectives out there. But for me, as a husband 397 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: and as a father, I can tell you that our life, 398 00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: and I think my wife would say the same thing, 399 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: Our life got one thousand percent better when only I 400 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: had to work, not a little bit better, one thousand 401 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: percent better. And by the way, given how much it 402 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: cost for childcare, I say this and I still can't 403 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: believe it. It would have been cheaper for me to 404 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: have two kids enrolled at the University of Tennessee for 405 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: college than it was to have a two year old 406 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: and a four month old in daycare. How crazy is that? 407 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: So so many people out there work to put your 408 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: kid into daycare, and I think a lot of families 409 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: end up coming to that calculus where you say, man, 410 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: I make forty thousand dollars a year, but I have 411 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: to pay forty five thousand dollars a year for childcare. 412 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: Does this really make sense? Is the dual income strategy 413 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: really paying off here? Margie in North Dakota? What you 414 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: got for me? 415 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: Hi? 416 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 4: I guess in my thought, it's how you interpret what 417 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 4: mister Butker was saying. I just feel that he was 418 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 4: talking to many young women who wanted to start their careers, 419 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 4: and he just assumed everybody wanted to be a mom. 420 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 4: Forty one years ago, I walked across the stage and 421 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 4: got a criminal justice degree in a psychology degree, and 422 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: ten years ago I retired from the police department here 423 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 4: as a sergeant, and I also have another career in 424 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 4: the meantime. I had five sons from the age when 425 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 4: I was between thirty and forty, I had five sons. 426 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, God bless you five kids. 427 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, my youngest son was too. My husband had a 428 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: nervous breakdown and eventually ended up in prison. So for 429 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 4: the last twenty years, I've been raising these kids on 430 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 4: my own. Yeah, and I'm happy to say the honest 431 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: one's graduating college. 432 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: But I look back, congratulations. 433 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. What I look back is and I see that 434 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: it was. It just doesn't fit what he's talking in 435 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 4: today's time. Yeah, I'm a I'm a Catholic, but you 436 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 4: can't predict your future. And I just feel that the 437 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 4: encouragement for young women, especially as me to movement now 438 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 4: should have been more not so much focused on a 439 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 4: marriage and children is making yourself better and being able 440 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 4: to provide for yourself down the road. 441 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: I love that. 442 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: Well, that's it's really well said. You've got five sons, 443 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: do you like their girlfriends? 444 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 4: Only one has when now I treat him as my own. 445 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 4: I like Ludker and what he was saying because I 446 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 4: have that old fashioned philosophy in me and he was 447 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 4: my fantasy. 448 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: Football kicker, so I really like him as a player. 449 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: But I just feel like what causes the controversy and 450 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: all this is how people interpret in what today's society 451 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 4: is doing, is that we want to make our women 452 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 4: independent and that's it's not all fluffy like that. 453 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Well, thank you for the call, and I think you 454 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: really good point that there are a lot of women 455 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: out there that if they're going to have families, they 456 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: want to be able to handle the kids themselves if 457 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 1: the men in their lives flake out. I think there's 458 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: a lot of distrust for women of men because there's 459 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: a lot of frankly men that you don't really want 460 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: to create a family with. I think that's a huge 461 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: part of this issue. That one reason women feel so 462 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: compelled to drive themselves to success is they don't want 463 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: to be reliant on frankly, some of the loser men 464 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: out there. So if you have a baby and you 465 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: feel like the man in your life is not very reliable, 466 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: your safety net is not your husband, it's your college 467 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 1: degree or your advanced degree. In other words, women, because 468 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: so many men are failing, feel compelled to cover all 469 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 1: the facet of life. And Buker kind of addressed that too, 470 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: because I do think a huge part of women's disdain 471 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: for many young men is a lot of them don't 472 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: think they're worthy of being parents with them. You know 473 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: a lot of these women with the frozen eggs, some 474 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: of you may be having daughters, granddaughters who are doing this. 475 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: A lot of them are extremely successful. They can't find 476 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: a man that they want to have a baby with. 477 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons why the number of kids 478 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: is going down. Women are looking around like a good 479 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: man really is hard to find, maybe harder to find 480 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: than ever. Now you can have an argument out there 481 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: that there's also a lot of women that don't want 482 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: to invest in men. That's what I would hear from men. 483 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: What's the Kanye line, the gold digger line. One day's 484 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: mopping the floors next day. It's the fries that women 485 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: don't want to invest in men. That's what I hear 486 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: from men, like all she cares about is what I 487 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: got or how much I make now. They don't want 488 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: to actually invest in the men. That I think is 489 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: kind of interesting too, but I think it speaks to 490 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: this sort of gender talking past each other, which is 491 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: becoming a big issue because, by the way, nobody's having babies. 492 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 1: Chris and Stockton, Missouri, what you got for us? 493 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 3: Hey, Hello, how are you Clay? Thank you for your 494 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 3: openness and truth you getting to the table. I appreciate it. 495 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: Thank you. 496 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 3: I grew up working hard, going to work every day, 497 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 3: and so when I got married and had kids, I 498 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 3: told my wife at the time, if you want to work, work, 499 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: if not, stay home with the kids. There was two boys, 500 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 3: so she did. She stayed home. We made it. I 501 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 3: drove a truck at the time, and then I got 502 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 3: into run in the city with also law enforcement, emergency management, 503 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 3: fire and rescue, and EMS and we were able to 504 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 3: live comfortably and she was able to stay home with 505 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 3: the kids. There was times I couldn't make it to 506 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: sporting events, which sucked. Yeah, but we made it work 507 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 3: and we were comfortable doing it. Everything worked out. And 508 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 3: I feel like, if you have that availability and the 509 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 3: opportunity to do that and it works for you, by 510 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 3: all means, do it. 511 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. I think huge percentages of 512 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: women would like to be able to stay home with kids. 513 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of them don't feel, either financially 514 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: or emotionally that they have a man that they can 515 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: trust to be able to provide for the whole family. 516 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a big issue here too. 517 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: Chuck in Kentucky fire away. 518 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, you're dead on You're dead on everything it's 519 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 5: going on Nowaday, look at your government. They're trying to 520 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 5: destroy women. They're trying to destroy the family, and they're 521 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 5: doing a good job of it. You've got to admit that. 522 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt they can't say it. 523 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 5: I'm like you, I watched seven yards week till my 524 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 5: wife could stay home and raise my kids. But these 525 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 5: men coming up now, they don't have the backbone to 526 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 5: hang in there and do that. 527 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, you know what. I love 528 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: the accent. By the way, My family's from Muelenberg County, Kentucky. 529 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of that over the years. I 530 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: was out to dinner on Sunday with It was Mother's Day, 531 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: so we had my wife, two other moms, and two 532 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: of my law school classmates. My wife is also a 533 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: law school classmate. But both of them work their asses 534 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: off work all the time practicing attorneys. They run their 535 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,719 Speaker 1: own firms basically, And they were saying the number of 536 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: twenty five year old guys now that graduate from law 537 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: school and don't really care about making very much money, 538 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: like they're just kind of staggered by it. They have 539 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: very limited motivation, and to what he's saying, their benefit. Look, 540 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: I get it, there's probably a lot of you out 541 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: there that were married to workaholics. My argument would be 542 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: workaholism comes from a good place because it's about a 543 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: desperate drive to try to make sure that you're providing 544 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: for your family. Now, what level does that need to reach. 545 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: I mean, again, that's all a balancing act. But I 546 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: come back to Thomas Sowell's stat to build on what 547 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: that caller was just kind of pointing out about the 548 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: government's attack on traditional families. This is a stat that 549 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: I think is really hard to explain away, and I'll 550 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: ask the team to make sure that I get it right. 551 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: And I'm not for those of you out there that 552 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: are going to grab this and clip it. I'm not 553 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: sure the percentages are exactly right, but I believe in 554 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty only twenty five percent roughly of black children 555 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: were born outside of the family. So this is roughly 556 00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: one hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation eighteen sixty three. 557 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: One hundred years later, seventy five percent of kids are 558 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: born into a black family with a mom and dad 559 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: at home. Now, I don't think anybody out there listening 560 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: right now would say, hey, you know what, America was 561 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: super fair to black people in the eighteen eighties. America 562 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: was insanely welcoming to black families everywhere in the nineteen thirties, 563 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: the forties, the twenties. That's despite a lot of the 564 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: legacy of racism and discrimination and the awful stain that 565 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: it left in the country. Over that one hundred year period, 566 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: the black family emerged strong enough that seventy five percent 567 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: of babies were born in two parent households. Do you 568 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: know what it was in twenty twenty twenty percent? How 569 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 1: does that happen. I don't think anybody out there would 570 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: look at it and say, hey, you know what happened 571 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: between nineteen sixty and twenty twenty, Black people were treated 572 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot worse than they were in eighteen eighty and 573 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: in eighteen seventy and in nineteen twenty. Whatever you think 574 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: about race relations, if you were born in nineteen sixty 575 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: and you are sixty years old, your life experience was 576 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: a lot different than somebody who was born a slave 577 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty and would have been sixty years old 578 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: in nineteen twenty. Yet, the black family in the one 579 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: hundred years after slavery ended was in a stronger position 580 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: in terms of two parent households in nineteen sixty by 581 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: far than it is today. How did that happen? I 582 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: would say it's Linda Johnson's Great Society which kicked the 583 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: legs out from underneath the black family. How is it 584 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: that the black family has collapsed when the government has 585 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: poured money into black families. That's not an easy question 586 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: for left wingers to answer. Again, regardless of your own 587 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: personal circumstances, it's far better to have children born into 588 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: two parent households than one parent households, and I always 589 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: get emails whenever I say this, somebody says i'm a 590 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: single parent. I'm doing I'm not attacking. Sharing facts in 591 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: a general sense that are different than your individual experience 592 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: is not a personal attack. There are many incredible single parents. 593 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 1: Some single parents do better jobs than double parents. There 594 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 1: are a lot of awful double parents. But in general, 595 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: how did the black family collapse when the government is 596 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:36,719 Speaker 1: spending trillions of dollars on them? They took away the 597 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: power I think of the black mom and dad, and 598 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: they gave it to the government instead. Just think about 599 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: that data. It doesn't make any sense. It's not the 600 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: legacy of racism, that's what they try to say. But 601 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: the legacy of racism was far more present in nineteen 602 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 1: sixty than it is today. Why did that happen? And 603 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: maybe it's not intentional, but it's certainly the reality, and 604 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: I think it's worth contemplating. That's why I'm always a 605 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: little bit skeptical when the government says, hey, I'll solve 606 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 1: this problem, I'm like, ah, I think I think maybe 607 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: individuals are better at solving problems than the government. I 608 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 1: think personally, we could fire seventy five percent of government 609 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: employees in the country probably be better off. I bet a 610 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: lot of you agree. But in the case of the 611 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: Black family, that's a complete failure despite pouring our taxpayer 612 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: dollars into it. There's a documentary online right now called 613 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: America's Last Election.

Documentary details how a 619 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: new financial crisis could be brewing in America, the dangers 620 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: it poses. He's paying a lot of attention to it. 621 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: We encourage you to go check it out.

But 633 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 1: I wanted to have a little bit of fun. This 634 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: is a new documentary. This is not made up. This 635 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: is NBC.

Mother Nature is pretty open minded. 644 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: Sex is not just the reproduction. 645 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 3: It's clear that no matter where you look on our planet, 646 00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: nature is full of queer surprises. 647 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: Just what you've all been hoping to see. Bisexual lions. 648 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: I've been sitting around for a long time, like the 649 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: one thing I need to make sure that I don't 650 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: miss this summer that bisexual lions show. By the way, 651 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 1: we've already known about gay lions. I think Mufossa was gay. 652 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,959 Speaker 1: You know, the guy who shoved off the dad there 653 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 1: in the Lion King. I have a lot of faith 654 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: Mufossa was actually not straight
