Summary

In this episode of the new breakout podcast The Spillover, host Alex Clark is joined by the host of both Poplitics and The Breakout Podcast, Alex Clark, to discuss why the concept of women who act like men when it comes to dating and in the workplace is a thing, and why it's important to understand why the idea that Sex in the City's creator, Candace Bushnell, regretted choosing a career over having children and now is truly alone.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 this is human events daily the christmas conversations what i'm doing is i've taken
00:00:08.060 some time off and we're going to be running a bunch of conversations with interesting people
00:00:14.100 with friends uh with other luminaries of thoughts and intellect around the movement and around the
00:00:21.060 turning point offices and run these during the christmas season but i also wanted to essentially
00:00:26.600 just kind of find topics that i thought were a little bit more evergreen and a little bit more
00:00:32.300 timeless in a sense that you could really listen to these at any time look most of the time i'm
00:00:36.560 talking about news of the day i'm like this happened that happened here's what it means
00:00:39.860 and a lot of these conversations get lost and i think there are deeper things that are going on
00:00:47.140 in our world and who better i thought to talk about this than the hostess of both poplitics
00:00:55.520 and the new amazing breakout podcast the spillover it's alex clark everyone wow that's like maybe
00:01:01.820 the nicest introduction i've ever had on a podcast i try you gave me a very nice introduction on uh
00:01:08.860 you know when i did spillover so i had to i had to reciprocate a little bit thank you so much yeah
00:01:13.000 you told me what you wanted to talk about today and i was like okay we're going there i well honestly
00:01:18.160 i was like i don't know who else i can talk to this about but it came up recently i was on timpool
00:01:24.480 and this was mentioned right at the end of the episode and i was there with my mom funny enough
00:01:30.560 so it's just like funny clip because we'd been um we'd been a wedding earlier i love that you always
00:01:34.700 bring her around for your shenanigans i know right well people are it's funny because like the left
00:01:38.620 sometimes will go like what does your mother think of this and i'm like she literally is like
00:01:42.980 standing next to me and watches all my like has seen i think every single interview and podcast and
00:01:49.920 show that i've ever done 100 like she's with me you know she's my ride or die um and but the
00:01:58.120 question that came up was because they were talking about the sex in the city reboot and it's like kind
00:02:03.040 of scandalous of course that it's back and there's all this like controversy around it but there was
00:02:07.680 something that the creator of sex in the city said years after the show ended and her name was
00:02:15.640 candace bushnell and she was the author it was a book originally and she wrote that she in 2019 she
00:02:21.160 gave an interview and said that she regretted choosing a career over having children and now
00:02:27.420 she is truly alone and that's and look i'm not a sex in the city guy but i i understand that that's
00:02:34.600 like the general thrust of the show right well and the show had a massive cultural impact if you're
00:02:39.800 talking about it from a pop culture standpoint that show generated so much um when it comes to other
00:02:47.140 tv shows and movies that were inspired by it just that idea of like a group of women who act like men
00:02:53.480 when it comes to dating and you know taking their career by their own hands and all that so this this
00:02:59.380 is where like like girl boss comes from like the idea that sort of ethos of hey i'm the girl boss um
00:03:06.600 the bad mama yeah yeah the bad b yeah i'm the i'm the queen b uh like that kind of originates i'm not
00:03:15.560 saying it it was created by sex in the city but that was kind of the the wave that it wrote in on
00:03:22.020 and then just crashed over society but it also ties in with third wave feminism and it dovetailed with
00:03:30.820 this sort of separation of the genders in many ways where you know feminism i think originally when
00:03:38.180 it started it was about women's empowerment but then it almost turned into this like competition
00:03:44.380 and then it became this sort of like separation where oh we have to be against each other and women
00:03:50.400 and men are constantly you know battling it out and women need to be on the pedestal and men need to
00:03:55.840 be off the pedestal and it's like all right women you you got it like we gave you the pedestal you're
00:04:01.080 on the pedestal now like are are you happy well i don't understand are you glad with it you know
00:04:05.680 what i mean so like as sex in the city was a big part of that yeah and this idea somehow they started
00:04:11.260 to mesh together and correlate you are more empowered as a woman and it's more you're a better
00:04:16.720 feminist if you the more guys that you sleep with the more that you act like what a stereotypical
00:04:22.300 man is you know supposed to act like this frat star mentality i don't understand why that became
00:04:29.260 empowering but it was shows like sex in the city and i like the show but i also have always i've
00:04:34.500 always i grew up in a conservative home and i watch those shows and i also can separate things from like
00:04:39.960 okay this is entertaining but this is not a way that you should live yeah like i watched game of
00:04:44.220 thrones and i don't go around like stabbing people and riding horses with swords and right you know
00:04:49.420 conquering westeros yeah like i could watch as a high schooler which you know so i was in high
00:04:54.480 school and then finally went back and watched old dvds of sex in the city because that show had been out
00:04:59.200 and long gone by the time i was in high school but i watched it and was able to be like okay this is
00:05:03.720 entertaining or whatever but also i can see how if women really lived their lives like this it would be
00:05:08.840 so incredibly destructive and demoralizing and sad and depressing which is exactly what that author
00:05:16.240 the creator of the city said but but this was amazing so i posted that article because i knew
00:05:22.760 that we were going to do the show and then i was reading it and we had mentioned it on tim pool but
00:05:26.640 and it had come out in 2016 i believe 2019 2019 oh even sooner not that long ago right so 2019 it
00:05:33.160 came out and i was just kind of pulling it up to refresh myself on it to familiarize myself with what
00:05:39.340 she said and then you know i tweeted it out just to my followers because of course that section city is
00:05:44.740 super in the news right now and then candace bushnell actually replies to my tweet what did
00:05:51.400 she say the actual creator i'm going to pull this up so she replies to my tweet of this and i'm going
00:05:57.520 to pull it up because i do not want to take the great candace bushnell out of her words she goes
00:06:02.800 why are you retweeting this old story as a matter of fact i don't regret not having children i celebrate
00:06:11.440 it and i encourage other women to do women to do the same in the same tweet she continues come see
00:06:18.360 my new show is there still sex in the city which just got a rave review in the new york times so i
00:06:25.640 respond to that i was right someone's in damage control mode right so i was gonna say two things
00:06:30.420 stick out to me in that reply one is that she's absolutely lying 100 100 she believes the lie that
00:06:36.860 she's telling herself also i think she backpedaled after that article and what she had said in 2019
00:06:42.060 came out because now she's got a reboot out she's got a broadway show or whatever that is there's
00:06:47.460 money to be made in that franchise so she can't say all the show is done right because at that point
00:06:52.800 in 2019 sex and city had been gone for years and years and years and so she's actually taking time to
00:06:58.340 reflect on it but now that the money train has come back around again the show's back out again
00:07:02.900 she's out on broadway doing a one-woman show of course she can't she's she has to clean up all
00:07:08.340 of these you know unnecessary inconvenient interviews that she gave kind of repudiating
00:07:13.360 everything that she had said during this and then one of my followers that she replied to them they
00:07:17.540 wrote it's an old story now that she has a new show misleading women into lives of empty careerism
00:07:23.060 frivolity antidepressants and cat parenting and she replies wrong it's dog parenting oh my gosh and
00:07:29.900 then after i wrote damage control mochi blocked me nice of course yeah she's humiliated and you know
00:07:36.020 it's it's a story that i have actually heard multiple times from conservative women older
00:07:41.020 conservative women what do you mean what do you mean they find conservatism later in their life so they
00:07:45.740 leave the left and then by that time it is too late they pursued the girl boss life they never had a
00:07:52.120 family then their eggs are dried up they literally cannot conceive and so and they never married and
00:07:58.560 they're alone and they're they're lonely so is so what you just said right there the one thing
00:08:03.120 i think the buried lead of it is is this political like is this part of leftism or is it something
00:08:11.400 that you know we because i don't i don't necessarily think people would associate section city
00:08:16.260 with a political party or a political ideology but do you see it as being more tied to one side or the
00:08:23.080 other because i think that you are right that marriage family having children uh attending you
00:08:29.680 know religious services that's clearly tied to conservatism the lie um that has been sold to
00:08:36.680 women that you need to be selfish you need to pursue your own self-interest you need to put yourself
00:08:42.780 above everybody else we're in this me me me culture what i want what i want um everybody else move
00:08:48.460 over uh your career is more important than kids money's more important than family you don't need
00:08:53.140 a man to make you happy all of those lies have been sold to us from the left so that comes from
00:08:59.580 the left sex in the city as a show when it originated i mean there were definitely more
00:09:04.160 liberal ideas on that original series the new installment like like personally very left-wing
00:09:12.020 and woke well yeah yeah of course yeah i've seen that but the but the id that just ideology that
00:09:16.180 like third wave feminist thing that is from the left it's libertine what is what it is it's
00:09:21.120 libertine because conservatism has always been about um preserving families yes and having a family
00:09:29.140 look i i've said this before but i don't know if i've if i've said it on on air on the podcast or
00:09:34.400 something that you know because i remember somebody was asking me they said you know how did you
00:09:38.620 you know they're like poso you're you're this like new right populist kind of version of of
00:09:44.400 conservatism they're like you're not against social programs when it's for families but you
00:09:51.240 do want you know a good tech structure but you're not like a corporatist i don't understand you know
00:09:57.000 how did you come this way and i said no no you understand like i didn't change conservatism i'm
00:10:02.540 just christian right i've always i was always raised this way and my family all the way all the
00:10:07.360 way back on both sides mom's side side they're all catholic and so for us looking at it from this
00:10:11.980 perspective it's coming to conservatism with our christian values and then saying okay we want a
00:10:19.720 society that should be based around the family it should be centered around the family uh you know
00:10:25.980 so my my birthday just came up and my mom got me a book uh fulton sheen quotes and he's a famous
00:10:32.340 archbishop and you're in a tv show in the 50s and 60s just amazing the old clips just the most
00:10:36.520 based things you've ever seen and i pulled up and it's like a quote for the day of the year
00:10:41.460 and i pulled up the one for my birthday december 15th and i was like oh let's see what he had for
00:10:46.240 you know for my birthday and he actually said this quote i'm gonna butcher it but he said
00:10:51.240 we need a society to be centered around having strong families wow and if you're running into
00:11:00.520 economic issues and economic costs to raise a family then you need to change the economy and
00:11:07.840 the state should come in and change the economy to be able to support fam i kid you not this is what
00:11:13.960 it actually had on my birthday um to change the economy because you need to change um what's he
00:11:20.220 saying because the economy should serve people people should not serve the economy and i'm like
00:11:25.400 how is this the one that they chose for my birthday when we were going to be recording this and this
00:11:32.120 is exactly what i was thinking about and i think it really is that broader question you know of of
00:11:37.960 things in our lives because this like the sex in the city ism it's kind of like you ever see i talk
00:11:44.160 about this sometimes that it's a wonderful life yes right so you know at that point and everyone
00:11:49.000 thinks of it as a christmas movie and of course it's christmas movie but you know the part where they
00:11:52.960 show like the dystopian version of the world and this is where i always explain to people that it's
00:11:59.000 it's much more than just a christmas movie going on here so you have um bedford falls is where they
00:12:02.960 live and then potterville is where they go to in the dystopian version and pot you know bedford falls
00:12:10.480 is like this great town and george bailey's helping people have their houses and you know even
00:12:14.640 if he's not making a lot of money on their loans he knows that it's it's a real help to these
00:12:18.400 people to be able to keep a roof over their heads so that they can have strong families they can
00:12:22.400 live this way but mr potter he doesn't care about any of that stuff he just wants to buy all that
00:12:26.340 land up and then you know demolish all those homes and put up like speakeasies and saloons and bars
00:12:32.360 and uh casinos and gambling because of course that makes a lot more money than just some rinky-dink
00:12:37.400 old houses right and that's potterville so one side is like the quaint community where people all know
00:12:44.160 each other on the same street and the other one is just like money money money go go go
00:12:48.520 and there's that uh there's that one character and she's kind of like i guess you might say she's
00:12:55.020 she's a troubled you know girl in in the early one and george is trying to like help her out in
00:13:00.120 bedford falls but in in they don't quite come out and say because remember this is the 1940s
00:13:05.040 and but you can tell that in potterville like she's basically they're implying she's a prostitute
00:13:10.120 yeah like she gets around yeah like she's like she's like a uh what do they call that a lady of the
00:13:15.540 evening right right a lady of the night a lady of the night you know whereas before i guess she
00:13:19.020 would they would have called her um i guess my grandma would have said like she's like a fast
00:13:22.460 girl she's a fast girl you know um but my favorite part of this right as they're all going through
00:13:29.280 and george is like clarence clarence you gotta tell me where's mary he's like oh george you don't
00:13:35.780 want to see mary you don't want to see it no show me clarence where is she where's where's mary
00:13:40.320 well you're not gonna like this george but she's about to close up the library george she never
00:13:46.820 married she's a spinster no no right and it's like in the 1940s that was considered dystopian
00:13:57.200 and nightmarish yeah and that like of course and of course it's a librarian and like library studies
00:14:03.780 and go get your masters and all that and this is considered like the highest pinnacle today and so i
00:14:08.940 look at this movie and specifically that scene and that word spinster which is like gone from over
00:14:13.460 our vocabulary here in modernity it's like wait how did we go from bedford falls and kind of fall
00:14:21.900 into potterville and not really realize that we actually moved from one society to the other from
00:14:29.780 the 1940s to today well now they wouldn't even say she's a spinster they would say she's a spinster and
00:14:35.640 she's a man oh no no right because you'd have to add something to make like we would say oh well
00:14:41.740 she's she's like in her late 30s and she's not married like so what whatever who cares well as
00:14:46.280 society look we've we when you get further and further away from god's design for marriage for
00:14:53.020 gender for society for culture you're always going to see um destruction and depression and sadness and
00:15:01.800 anxiety and look what we have we have the highest levels of depression anxiety and it's like well
00:15:05.940 we've given everyone what they want everybody can be what they want to be everyone can do what they
00:15:09.980 want to do and yet for some reason everybody is so unhappy why is that because maybe god was right
00:15:17.120 when he had designed us as women to have these certain desires and to be this certain person in a
00:15:23.200 family and in a marriage and you know design men to be this person for a family in a marriage
00:15:27.860 and we both went we both went opposite directions of what was designed for us look i said this on
00:15:34.420 tim pool and i'll say it again like like men you know we can we can go out and build a bridge and we
00:15:41.000 can write a song and we can write symphonies and we can you know build all of these amazing things in
00:15:48.060 the world and create things but there's one thing that men can't do and we cannot create life itself
00:15:56.200 and that it's an actual miracle an actual miracle and i've seen my wife tanya do it twice now where
00:16:03.580 god has bestowed women with this power this front like and and it's designed it's from birth right like
00:16:09.700 i went and when i was studying mandarin chinese that took so long for me to learn that right women
00:16:15.320 can just create people automatically right that is by design and it's an absolute miracle it's a real
00:16:22.180 miracle it happens all the time and you know we constantly overlook it we constantly overlook that
00:16:30.240 it's it's like like a literal superpower that women have and yet we just act as if it's like oh it's
00:16:38.640 just something that happens every once in a while whereas i look at and i say i think this is the most
00:16:42.820 important thing in all of society it is and i'm a young millennial so i was born in 93 the girl boss
00:16:50.580 stuff was sold hard oh yeah to me oh yeah so the sort of like i know i was talking before this is
00:16:56.900 like the i guess i'm like an elder millennial because i'm 84 right um i've actually argued that
00:17:03.820 if you were born in the 80s you should be called a centennial because you're not quite gen x but
00:17:08.660 you're also not quite millennial either yeah because you know we were born like we still rode bikes we
00:17:14.580 didn't have the internet until we were like high school college so our prefrontal cortexes were
00:17:20.040 already like on their way to being formed and then all of this stuff hit but we weren't raised
00:17:25.780 with technology and so you get you get kind of like the um you know you you sort of like you don't
00:17:32.700 take everything super seriously the way that uh gen xers did but at the same time you're not jaded you
00:17:39.180 still kind of have like this hopefulness which i do believe generally comes from millennials like
00:17:42.880 there's this kind of like sometimes people see it as naivete but i see it as like and many times it
00:17:47.360 is it's like it's a mentality of we can really change the world yeah exactly and gen z does not
00:17:52.460 share that no no gen z is like a whole type of thing but i definitely see this with the the core
00:17:58.980 millennial generation as it and it's it's rough it's it's like it's almost like a wasted generation
00:18:05.580 to be honest because there was so much crap that happened so many social programs so much social
00:18:11.020 programming that was hit plus so you've got the iraq war that's hit the war on terror we lived through
00:18:15.560 all this stuff then the massive amounts of government propaganda social propaganda movies tv
00:18:20.760 etc then you get the great recession 2008 right when people are trying to graduate college when
00:18:26.440 people are trying to get jobs when people trying to start their careers boom nothing for you so what
00:18:30.680 do people do they go back to school and they went how do you go back to school we'll just i'll just go
00:18:34.920 and get some more debt and i remember having those conversations with people when they were like
00:18:39.000 well i'm just going to go into some more debt and i'm going to go get my master's and i'm like
00:18:42.500 i don't think that's a good idea i don't think you like you're already like at you know five digits
00:18:51.280 and dead like you're going to go and get more i'm so thankful job like what are you doing i did not go
00:18:57.520 to college and i am so freaking thankful every day that i didn't because i'm not sure that i would have
00:19:03.380 turned out conservative i mean just seeing what my friends have gone through and the conditioning that
00:19:09.440 they went through and the indoctrination i'm just not sure i'd like to think that i would have still
00:19:13.700 but you never know and so i'm really glad that i didn't go down that path but because this girl boss
00:19:18.280 stuff was sold so hard to my friends and i i know so many young women then did not have any any interest
00:19:24.580 in getting serious with other young men no one was seriously dating it was a huge um a huge focus on
00:19:32.360 hookup culture it's all hookup culture and because of that so at that time i feel like young guys were
00:19:37.860 wanting to pursue young women we denied them we humiliated them we rejected them now they're pissed
00:19:44.440 off and they say fine i don't want anything to do with serious relationships now i'm seeing a
00:19:48.200 turnaround where young millennial women are now like okay no now i am serious like for me i am i never
00:19:53.980 was involved in hookup culture stuff i've always been someone that's wanted to get married young it
00:19:57.560 just hasn't been god's timing yet but i've always wanted that like as soon as god's willing to let
00:20:02.840 that happen for me i welcome it i'm so excited for that time in my life it just hasn't but um you
00:20:07.800 know i know that for me when i'm bringing up to guys hey i'm dating for marriage i want something
00:20:12.060 serious i'm looking for something serious no one no young guys are interested in it they've all been
00:20:17.040 so burned and every single day they're being told by society and culture that you know being a straight
00:20:22.260 white male for example is evil and horrible and the worst thing you could be now they're kind of um
00:20:28.080 they have a chip on their shoulder well alex not only that but you know what's happening though
00:20:31.640 and i've seen this and i know people like this i know millennial guys who are now in their early
00:20:38.900 to mid 30s and you know what they're doing they're dating zoomers well but isn't that what every guy
00:20:45.600 does every guy always wants to date the 24 year old right which normally is every generation boomer
00:20:50.840 they could be a boomer they want to date a 24 year old but what's different is where does that leave
00:20:56.240 the girl bosses alone and spinsters yeah exactly so that's my point is like you know this went on for
00:21:03.160 so many years and now you're at a point where it's like hey if you're pushing 40 you know like and
00:21:11.900 oh it's my biggest fear you've got another guy who's like well i could date someone who's 24
00:21:17.880 i could date someone who's 22 and why would i right you know what i'm saying like why would i go for
00:21:24.680 that when i can go for something younger and that by the way is like as you say is generally
00:21:30.120 traditional is that women tend to date older men and men tend to date younger women my parents are
00:21:36.180 eight years apart um this was super normal for years and years and years and years what was different
00:21:42.040 was that the girl bosses just said no all the way up okay honesty hour you're married to tanya who i
00:21:48.100 adore oh my gosh you're outing me as being married and having kids oh no what will this do for my brand
00:21:54.120 no the honesty part is if you had not met tanya if right now in your life you were still single do
00:22:00.120 you think you would be pursuing women that were in gen z oh my god oh man oh man wow wow
00:22:08.040 um you know look for me it it would be look i i go back to what you said you know i you know had
00:22:15.920 relationships before tanya obviously and we met at a bible study and people always think i'm putting
00:22:23.240 them on when i say that but i say look i think god brought her into my life at that time and at that
00:22:28.000 reason for that reason and what i wouldn't necessarily say that i would be looking for somebody
00:22:33.820 you know elsewhere but that's our because god has already given me my soulmate right i've i've met
00:22:41.240 my soulmate and that happened and it's been amazing like i've actually met her and we're together and
00:22:48.060 we're married and it's incredible but it was also because i made the steps to say look i don't want to
00:22:55.020 date to date i want to date to marry i want to look for someone that i want to get married to
00:22:59.160 and why would i go to a bar why would i oh by the way i always had a rule all my years in the military
00:23:06.540 no dating military ever not even once look let me just tell you something there's there's there's a
00:23:14.500 lot of great girls out there and there's a lot of girls in the military but i always said that
00:23:19.460 for me i just felt that you know the type of girl that wants to join the military and do that
00:23:25.340 maybe not the girl that i'm looking forward to for yeah i can't imagine you with a girl like that
00:23:30.260 honestly i i mean knowing tanya i know that she's perfect for you and you know the fact that you
00:23:35.080 guys speak 400 languages and all the different things like it's so you guys and i can't imagine you
00:23:40.220 being right for someone else or her being right for someone else like just having met you guys and
00:23:44.600 being around you but uh yeah i definitely couldn't imagine my roundabout answer to your question
00:23:49.180 is that you know i'd i'd be looking for a godly woman right that's that to me is the most important
00:23:56.600 thing and i think that so age would be secondary yeah i think that you know i didn't ask her her age
00:24:02.060 until well i didn't i went on facebook um yeah no kidding no you definitely did some internet stalking
00:24:08.680 knowing you oh but she did the same thing plus by the way for like the first two weeks she would not
00:24:14.400 give me her number i love that kid you not she was like and i've asked her about this for a while
00:24:19.800 and i'm like why would you not give me your number for like the first like you were clearly into me and
00:24:24.740 like we were going out on like multiple dates so how did you contact her to go out if you didn't
00:24:29.760 have her number over facebook oh my gosh and then so i get on facebook and then i found her through
00:24:35.540 like because we had mutuals from the bible study so i find her on there we we contact hey great to
00:24:40.860 meet you blah blah blah and then eventually i've gone back though and i've been like because there
00:24:46.140 were times where you know you slip it in there like hey um let me get your number because i want
00:24:51.300 to text you this uh address or you know blah blah blah very slick right yeah you slide it in you slide
00:24:56.960 it in but she would always say no early on so now years later i've kind of gone back and like
00:25:02.700 questioned her because you know obviously we're much past that and it's like why what was that about
00:25:06.900 and she goes oh well i preferred you to only have my facebook i was like why is that she goes
00:25:12.700 well if i didn't like you then i could just block you that's so good oh no she's and then she goes
00:25:20.000 and then she i was like why and she's like some guys just want to date a european girl and i wanted
00:25:24.240 to make sure you weren't one of those oh my god i'm like wow wow so yeah she was using it like a
00:25:30.440 social media filter so that you know if some guy was trying to date her that they wouldn't be able
00:25:36.440 to have like all the direct details to get in so it's just pretty good that's actually pretty smooth
00:25:41.920 like i was like i was like all right i can respect that like i can respect that like i married a smart
00:25:47.060 girl but um but no look i mean one thing though that i do feel sad about is i wish i had kids earlier
00:25:54.240 um that math sucks oh i hate that i i mean every day i'm like i'm just thinking because i'm gonna be
00:26:01.200 29 in february and so i i think about that i'm like i have a biological clock like so i'm like god
00:26:06.740 please bring me my guy let me get married let me start having kids i because i think about that
00:26:10.500 because you do the math of like once you eventually do have kids and this is just for everyone in
00:26:17.720 general then you realize okay oh okay i had my first this kid at this age that means when they're
00:26:23.480 18 i'm gonna be oh and then when they're 20 and then when they're 30 and then when they're four oh
00:26:29.480 oh oh right and so you realize that that's why it's better to order a society into something where
00:26:39.980 those marriages can happen those connections can happen at an earlier age you're you're always dating
00:26:47.120 to marry you're always looking for this and in traditional cultures this is what they still do
00:26:52.640 um because it just makes for a better family that way um and look i'm not you know every time i talk
00:27:00.700 about this kind of stuff people come at me they're like i had kids at this age and they're great we
00:27:05.180 have a great relationship but i'm not attacking okay yes exactly anyone like i'm talking about a
00:27:09.680 general social you know there's a majority there's a minority i totally understand that there are some
00:27:15.180 women that tell me i never wanted kids i don't have kids i never got married i'm the happiest i've
00:27:19.300 ever been and i'm 50 great few and far between though when you're looking at the majority most
00:27:25.740 responses do say i wish i had kids earlier i wish i would have gotten married i wish that i would have
00:27:30.440 put a family above my career that's what we're talking about obviously there's going to be some
00:27:33.880 exceptions but those people on the internet are so annoying i always tell people like if you send me
00:27:37.700 stuff like that i'm just going to block you i had people so we were talking about this on
00:27:41.600 tim pool and then because my mom was there that we had just been at a wedding earlier in the area
00:27:49.500 and tim was like hey stop by do the end of the show and we were talking about this issue and i was like
00:27:54.380 you know i actually know someone who could probably shine some light on this and like my mom's sitting
00:27:59.400 right here and she comes over and my mom worked as a biologist um in research and development for 40
00:28:09.420 years she just retired and she got married in her 20s she had me at 23 and then she had my brother uh
00:28:17.820 three years later so 26 so she had two kids with an associate's degree and then she was working full
00:28:24.840 time and then she went back i think when we were in high school she went back and started doing
00:28:31.080 night school got her bachelor's at that point then continued on got her master's while we were in
00:28:36.500 college so like we always joke that we were in college at the same time and we were both in
00:28:39.740 philadelphia going to college so i was at temple university and she was at jefferson and then she
00:28:45.200 just continued with the same company now a lot of that track is different now like it's hard to stay
00:28:50.200 with one company for so many years but she was able to with that one company stay with them for 40 years
00:28:56.340 she had she got her master's degree and she had two kids in her 20s and figured out a way to make it
00:29:03.380 work and it's like you can do that and you don't have like this this has been the biggest problem i think
00:29:11.240 of this with with candace bushnell saying this you know i i regret how you know choosing kids over
00:29:16.300 career it's like why do you have to make that choice right you don't have to make the choice
00:29:20.700 you just might have to do different timing you know like your mom had kids then she went and got
00:29:25.460 her master's exactly you might have to do things a little bit different timing than other people but
00:29:29.780 you can absolutely because the way they sell it to you the way they sell it to you and i saw this
00:29:34.080 happen to so many you know millennials centennials whatever you want to say is that you know you go to
00:29:39.100 college get good college and then you become more competitive so a master's makes you even more
00:29:44.860 competitive and then you get your job and then you do life right then you do quote-unquote adulting
00:29:49.920 right that's what they would say and then so it's like why why do you have to do it this way and i
00:29:55.160 know um you know i don't know if i have a lot to say but charlie's working on a book basically about
00:30:00.320 this um oh good and because i think in charlie and i both feel the same way about this and charlie and
00:30:05.800 i both are the exact same age we were both born in 93 um charlie kirk and i is who we're talking about
00:30:10.940 yeah and charlie also uh agrees with me that after you graduate from high school whether that's
00:30:17.340 through homeschool or traditional schooling you should take a break a few years off and then decide
00:30:22.960 do i still want to go to college or can i pursue a trade or you know start my career without that
00:30:28.320 um because charlie and i both did that and then we ended up starting our careers in various ways he
00:30:32.700 started turning point usa i started a career in pop radio and then you know now almost 10 years down
00:30:39.040 the road him and i are here at the same place but yeah we both agree with that you can do things on
00:30:44.620 a different is this necessary right is is this type of thing the thing that i need for success in life
00:30:51.820 and then it's how do you determine success in life and i think because of these you know massive right
00:30:59.400 there's massive money behind these these programs for getting people into school saying this is what
00:31:04.320 you have to do this is the way to do it and i think for the baby boomer generation colleges and
00:31:11.060 universities represented something that was very different than what it turned into because it was
00:31:17.160 this idea that remember going to college used to be something kind of special right if you were going
00:31:21.380 oh college man college man you know college girl right that was something that wasn't for everyone
00:31:28.000 that meant that there was something special but this idea that everyone in the same way
00:31:31.960 that they used to say that home ownership was the american dream and so the government came in and
00:31:36.720 got involved in home loans look how that turned out now the government came in and got involved in
00:31:41.520 school loans because they said everyone deserves to go to college and it's like did we ever sit back
00:31:46.460 and say do we need these things are they teaching us stuff that we actually need to use to be successful
00:31:51.760 in life or are you perpetuating a system that's enriching yourselves enriching your friends
00:31:57.780 enriching you know and you go to these schools and they're like we've got a rock climbing wall
00:32:01.940 and we've got a fountain that you can jump in when you're a senior and you're like uh like what
00:32:07.620 like what do i need this stuff for for for my life right what are you going to teach me academically
00:32:13.880 like are you going to teach me how debt works are you going to teach me how to start a business
00:32:18.060 are you going to teach me how to balance well you say balance a checkbook but i guess today they would
00:32:22.500 say like you know take on take in loans and become liquid are you going to teach me how to like buy crypto
00:32:28.580 my graduating class i graduated so many ways to make money now yeah well i graduated in 2011 my
00:32:34.380 graduating class when we were in middle school we were the last group before they got rid of it to
00:32:38.860 have a it was called something else where i grew up in indiana but it was essentially a home economic
00:32:43.280 class where we learned things like how to do laundry basic things cooking uh they do not they got rid of
00:32:49.080 those classes in public schools i it's few and far between to find a public school or school district
00:32:53.780 in america that is teaching those young men and women i always joke that like you know in school
00:32:58.740 they'll teach you the difference between lava and magma you don't need to know that you know it's like
00:33:03.140 lava is when it's out of the ground but magma is when it's in the ground but they won't teach you
00:33:08.080 what debt is and that's why i i am so gung-ho and sold out on homeschooling and i don't even have kids
00:33:13.840 yet jack i have read so many books on homeschooling and parenting and all this because i just feel like
00:33:18.340 hey in my season of singleness that i'm in right now i just want to prepare i want to know as much
00:33:22.280 as possible so that by the time i meet the right guy and then we're getting married and having kids
00:33:25.940 we can get started and i know what i want to do but i really feel like the homeschoolers have gotten
00:33:30.480 it right and i feel bad that they have been so um stigmatized and stereotyped you know that all
00:33:35.960 these kids are losers and they're dumb and they're not smart homeschool kids have higher sat store
00:33:41.080 scores now we're reasoning it realizing there was a reason for that stigmatization and the reason was
00:33:46.360 yes billions and billions of dollars behind this idea of sending everyone to public schools and sending
00:33:52.140 everyone to college yeah the homeschool jungle freak so to speak like they talked about they made fun of
00:33:57.020 in the movie mean girls which also had a huge cultural impact on my you know my age group so
00:34:02.680 all of that i'm realizing was all wrong and was it all part of hollywood's propaganda to work with
00:34:07.880 you know uh public schooling education in this country the left indoctrinating all these kids
00:34:12.520 keeping us in public school longer don't homeschool them they'll be weirdos they'll never make a living
00:34:16.760 and the homeschool kids are making more money like i said higher test scores smarter they know how to
00:34:21.760 take care of themselves having families they've got it right you know it's funny too for us because
00:34:27.180 like we're we're raising our kids to be multilingual um and people always say well where do they you know
00:34:33.460 they're at the age yet where they would have to choose between it yet and i think we're leaning
00:34:38.000 towards homeschooling at least we're going to give it a shot and then you know see where it takes us
00:34:43.200 after a couple of years but when they say about socialization it's like he's constantly around
00:34:49.280 other kids like we go to church and he's with kids then we go and do activities afterwards with
00:34:54.900 the kids we're all together we've got like friend groups it's a lie to sell fear and to scare parents
00:34:59.900 into not it's ridiculous but what's crazy though what's crazy is public schools which are and michael
00:35:05.820 malice says this all the time they are literal prisons yes and they're the only place where most
00:35:11.180 people in their entire lives will face physical violence because we we set these things up where
00:35:17.160 they're they're not there to teach you you know it's rote memorization drills and they're teaching
00:35:22.380 you to sit down stand up raise your hand you know jump get up when the bell rings go move to the other
00:35:27.340 room sit down right this was a system that was designed for german factory workers during the early
00:35:32.540 stages of the industrial revolution uh because germans in their coldless inhumane efficiency yeah that's
00:35:39.560 works very well if you want to design you know an entire generation of factory workers but it's actually
00:35:44.520 really teaching people things right the idea used to be that you would gain mastery over a certain
00:35:50.200 subject right and then you would be passed on but this whole idea of like we're going to have letter
00:35:55.480 grades and number grades and then you're going to be moved from this one to this one is very very german
00:36:00.580 thinking right and then you know you're passed on and then you graduate and you get a slip of paper
00:36:06.060 that's your certificate and it's like your certificate of what like you ask people what they learned in high
00:36:10.800 school and they say i don't remember but you do remember is you know the infighting the clicks
00:36:17.180 the groups this constant like rack and stack of people that's going on while by the way you're going
00:36:24.580 through puberty and your hormones are hitting your body's doing all sorts of crazy things and you have
00:36:30.500 all these crazy pressures that are going on and then we force people through this system at the exact same
00:36:35.540 time yeah and if we wonder why and we wonder why people snap and if somebody's falling behind or
00:36:39.860 somebody is moving really far ahead they all have to be stopped for the other kids so like oh my don't
00:36:46.100 even get me started on that yeah don't even get me started all this math and stuff you could be six
00:36:50.380 months behind waiting for all the other kids in your class to catch up to where you are i was a kid
00:36:55.260 in class you can tailor everything for your kid if they're if they're they need to spend more time on a
00:36:59.920 on a on a book or more time on a certain math you're literally triggering my ptsd right now from
00:37:05.180 all those years of like you know i'm sitting there and i was the kid like i'm doing my homework in
00:37:10.140 class and then getting it done and then getting yelled at because you know i'm goofing off or
00:37:14.760 something and i'm distracted and it's like it's like you weren't paying attention and it's like well
00:37:19.400 you weren't you know i could see you you were talking you're passing notes you're doing this
00:37:22.280 you're doing whatever and it's like um they're like you don't even know what i was just saying and i'd be
00:37:27.860 like you were just saying and i'm like every single thing they just said i can like delivering
00:37:32.660 the lesson back and it's like no i get this i got it like i got it in the first five minutes like i
00:37:38.900 don't know why i'm in a 45 minute class where you have to explain this to everybody i'm bored out of
00:37:43.980 my mind and i think that you know the i the word itself homeschool people freak out and they think
00:37:49.500 well my kid is just going to be in four walls every day they have no they're not experiencing other
00:37:53.080 cultures they're not socializing like you said and that's a big fear for everybody but the thing
00:37:57.240 that they don't understand is your kid has the freedom to experience more cultures and travel
00:38:02.360 the the word homeschool doesn't mean your kid has to literally learn in home you can go say we're
00:38:06.920 going to spend this a summer in in europe you can do all kinds of things you can do your studies at
00:38:11.820 the beach you can study on the weekend you can study through the holidays and then you know take a
00:38:16.180 break in the middle of february you can do whatever you want you're not limited like what you are in
00:38:21.320 a traditional public school atmosphere like i'm talking like you know i'm this home school expert
00:38:26.660 which is funny because i don't even have kids one thing that we've actually discussed is um you know
00:38:32.060 for language learning and for cultural learning is at some point when you know they're a little bit
00:38:37.580 older to have our kids go and then maybe spend summers in eastern europe with tanya's family yeah so
00:38:45.800 that when they're over there they can see you know number one see what it's like living in a post
00:38:51.300 communist country and see that everybody lives in block homes and block housing to see the the burnt
00:38:57.640 out ruins of world war ii and the remnants that are still there that like hey we used to have a nice
00:39:02.640 castle you after eight hours dad yeah but then also seeing how people live so obviously the language
00:39:09.560 is different but then also and it'll be great for that and we are like i said we're raising them to
00:39:13.700 speak but also um the food is so different so the idea like this whole american thing that we do of
00:39:21.040 you go to the supermarket and then you just buy or costco whatever and you buy all the food that
00:39:25.580 you're going to need for like a week or two and you stuff it in your fridge like that's a very
00:39:29.000 american modernist kind of thing so in eastern europe they don't do that they'll go out and they buy
00:39:35.280 everything fresh every day because it's straight from the farm and like that's the food that you're
00:39:39.840 going to eat today and the only thing that you would ever put in the fridge is leftovers so like
00:39:44.640 the fridges are smaller and they're only made for just the food that was prepared maybe like the day
00:39:49.020 before and you haven't finished it yet so you're going to put that in your fridge and it's funny
00:39:52.680 because that's exactly what tanya does at home um like even though she's lived in the u.s now for 15
00:39:58.660 years she still has that mindset of no i'm going to buy something and then we're going to cook it today
00:40:04.120 and we're going to eat it today and then we're going to save it so it's all fresh it's all like
00:40:08.860 like you would say farm to table i guess in the u.s but like over there it's just food um and it
00:40:14.860 doesn't have the kind of preservatives and the gmos and everything that it has in the u.s so like
00:40:19.220 when tanya's parents are here actually her dad like refuses to eat like fast food and so much
00:40:25.120 this stuff he's like this is rubber like this is not food i'm not eating this but it's because he can
00:40:31.560 really tell what real meat and real vegetables and real bread are supposed to taste like i agree but
00:40:38.320 i still love my me some chicken nuggets i should have known i should have known the chicken nuggets
00:40:44.480 and the cinnamonies are going to come up but so i guess my real question is and to kind of wrap this
00:40:50.680 all up i think people are finally starting to question these things like do you see you know i i see
00:40:56.960 there's a split going on right now where they're i mean clearly with like tinder and hookup culture
00:41:02.500 that has definitely taken off and that is and it's led to hypergamy which is going on um which which is
00:41:08.780 this idea that like um more like you're having more and more uh women that are all driving towards
00:41:16.320 like the top five percent of men and then so like the other 95 of the dating pool is like oh swipe you know
00:41:23.620 they got swipe left on and that's clearly leading to more depression and more anxiety out there but
00:41:30.100 you are also seeing a lot of people and i see this with zoomers where they're like you know those
00:41:36.200 millennials don't seem like they have it all together maybe they got some stuff wrong we should
00:41:41.300 we should do something about this so are you do you think people are waking up to this kind of stuff
00:41:46.760 are you seeing that kind of split going on out there
00:41:48.900 they're waking up but what's really scary and sad to me is that it's almost translating into
00:41:56.300 anger i feel like with gen z extreme anger and anxiety they're just so mad over everything i mean
00:42:04.020 gen z is super anxious they're super anxious and they're sad all the time even i was talking to
00:42:09.860 abigail schreier about this on my podcast the spillover but it's not just sad it's like it's like
00:42:13.860 they fluctuate really fast and like in like one day they could be super sad and then they're all
00:42:19.160 medicated and wow they're all medicated um even what i was telling her was even rap music is sad so
00:42:25.600 the hip-hop that you and i grew up with which is like partying and having fun and like make a lot
00:42:29.700 of money none of the rap music is like that if you turn on any i try and yeah the hip-hop music now
00:42:36.020 is everything is about i'm popping xanax bars i'm depressed all my friends are dead it's literally lyric
00:42:41.900 um that's what it is about um and so it's almost like they feel hopeless and so i hope that maybe
00:42:49.740 we can start with a pandemic and everything one big thing i hope will um help them to turn around
00:42:54.920 and wake up is that with the pandemic they've all dropped out of college a lot of kids have put
00:42:59.700 college on hold and the workforce yes so i'm hoping okay maybe fingers crossed a lot of them will not
00:43:05.660 end up re-enrolling and they'll just drop out completely and then pursue careers and stuff and get
00:43:09.720 out of that hellhole mindset and that they will be woken up uh like taken out of that trance so
00:43:15.680 they've they've kind of it's kind of like they've correctly identified that you know the the absolute
00:43:22.480 end of modernity is oblivion right there's no there's no answer there's no pot of gold at the
00:43:27.360 end of the rainbow like at at the end of this road is a clip i mean don't you feel like with all your
00:43:32.560 studying of antifa just that a lot of them just feel like what's the point let's just burn it all
00:43:39.080 down well so there i mean they do have that belief but then there's also people who kind of have this
00:43:45.220 utopian ideal within the anarcho-communist movement that it's almost like okay if there's a cliff at
00:43:52.560 the end of the road then we can create heaven on earth and it's this utopian you know zuckerverse
00:44:00.320 kind of well the metaverse is coming so there you go throw the shackles off of the right and so like
00:44:06.120 you know throw the shackles off and we can create a utopia here and this is what you saw in the
00:44:10.340 bolshevik revolution and and many other revolutions throughout the world but also um with the metaverse
00:44:16.500 right it's it's also it's an answer for the hopelessness right it's an answer for the emptiness
00:44:22.360 that people feel because they are living these atomized atavistic lives which where they realize
00:44:29.840 that like hey i'm just a worker drone and i don't want to just be a worker drone and it's like
00:44:35.220 coming up next on netflix you know is like your whole life let's get back to basics maybe the
00:44:41.220 answer isn't but there is there is another path what what was what we're talking about well that's
00:44:46.960 what i'm saying get back to basics and having a family and why don't we go back to like what has
00:44:51.700 created uh different societies and cultures all around the world from for you know from the beginning
00:44:57.360 of time why don't we get back to that instead of let's try the metaverse now let's try not owning
00:45:01.960 any real property let's just own two hundred thousand dollar plots of digital land which my
00:45:06.520 pop people on my politics team were showing me that the other day and i that was so weird to me to see
00:45:13.820 literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on fake land and i said why don't they just take hundreds
00:45:18.860 of thousand dollars and buy a real plot of land and they said because they they just think this is the
00:45:23.660 new thing and i'm like what because that's hard then you actually have to run it you're here like
00:45:28.240 so we we're we're in phoenix right now and we rented this house and you know we have this um like
00:45:35.220 so if you want to have grass if you want to have flour well guess what you think you have to water
00:45:38.980 it constantly right so your water bill goes up or are you going to have sprinklers or what are the
00:45:43.640 taxes going to be like yeah guess what that's actual responsibility in the real world it's not just
00:45:49.660 like this this gamification of everything we're like oh i bought something so it's mine and everything
00:45:55.120 works and it's perfect all the time like no of course not you know things deteriorate and this
00:45:59.920 is why there's the there's an amortization schedule and again they don't want us to understand debt and
00:46:04.440 assets and how that stuff works so you know the great time by the way to buy houses on on debt like
00:46:11.040 with interest rates the way they are right now and like it might be changing you know coming up soon
00:46:15.700 in 2022 but like this is absolutely the time if you're if you're able to to get in that's why
00:46:20.780 everybody's buying up houses because they realize that it's like free money especially with inflation
00:46:25.000 where it is because you're locked in for 30 years that means if you were if your rate is 2.3 and it's
00:46:31.400 locked in for 30 years and inflation is 7 percent then like it's free basically right because you know
00:46:38.260 it cancels itself out but they don't want people to think that way right so then you're accumulating
00:46:43.020 money you're accumulating wealth you're generating wealth you have something that can be your legacy
00:46:47.320 and then with a family you have people to actually pass it on to and that's something that you know
00:46:54.400 when you talked about homeschooling when i'm thinking about my kids it's you know it really
00:46:59.340 is this idea of you know we have all of these things that are just distractions from real life
00:47:04.700 like they're just distractions from uh actually creating something and doing something in reality because
00:47:11.400 at the end of the day when you live a godless life you're trying to do everything they can to
00:47:16.780 distract yourself before you die because you believe that there is there's oblivion right there's and this
00:47:21.960 is nihilism right that that there's nothing else that happens so what does it matter and it's just
00:47:26.100 the distraction up until the moment you die when life doesn't have to be that way life didn't used to
00:47:30.260 be that way life is amazing life is awesome and you can create things and you can live have a family
00:47:35.840 and you can affect the matrix and by having children i think is the only thing you can actually do
00:47:41.260 that directly affects the matrix in that sense because you are now adding right people and adding
00:47:48.140 more beings into it but have kids and raise them yourself and don't and raise them and that's key this
00:47:54.920 is the key because for you to pass on your traditions and your culture and your language and the things
00:48:03.640 that you've learned like when i think when i first held my you know my oldest son in my arms i think man
00:48:09.060 i've got to get you caught up on so much stuff you know so much but this is so much there's so much
00:48:15.740 i gotta fill you in on there's all this backstory but at the same time it's like if i don't do that who
00:48:20.860 will hollywood wikipedia you know academia no way i have to it's a mission it's a mission i have in my life
00:48:29.180 now tick tock right you know and so it's like you realize that oh we are designed for this purpose
00:48:36.480 and there is a reason for this and there's a reason that men men and women fit together it's
00:48:40.460 there's there's that meme of it right it's um uh the guy gets up he goes all corporations
00:48:45.320 on their boards should be 50 percent male and 50 percent female no yay all children should have a mother
00:48:53.780 and a father no and it's like there's a reason this stuff works there's a reason the bible was
00:49:01.360 written this way and just did a conversation with charlie we talked about that but it's almost like
00:49:04.760 you know and if you need to take the jordan peterson view of these things because you're
00:49:10.840 not ready to accept that there actually is a god right then at least go to it from the jordan
00:49:16.900 peterson method of looking at it as positive allegories and metaphors for guidelines on how you
00:49:22.500 should live your life because guess what human nature has not changed and if you're and if you're
00:49:26.260 listening and you're not a christian which i don't assume that everybody i think most of our both of
00:49:30.660 our audiences are christians usually typically are catholic for you um but if you're not and you still
00:49:36.360 are interested in what we're talking about with homeschooling and all these things the book wild
00:49:40.340 and free it's like wild plus sign free um is a whole book about homeschooling there's nothing
00:49:45.300 religious about it it is just about not letting society raise your kids and um why homeschooling is
00:49:50.960 better and she dispels every single myth that we are talking about that you're you know well i'm not
00:49:55.840 um i'm not educated enough to teach my kids so how could i homeschool them i'm a full-time parent how
00:50:00.380 could i i'm a working parent how can i homeschool my kids uh you know will they be socialized will
00:50:04.740 they be weirdos all those different think lies that you tell yourself of why you can't homeschool
00:50:09.220 she walks through every single one of those and there's not even a religious aspect so if you're
00:50:13.800 curious about homeschooling you think you have to be religious uh you don't so read wild and free it's
00:50:18.520 excellent yeah and i think i think people are also realizing that homeschooling arose as a as a
00:50:23.780 reaction to like the craziness that's out there and then once you see it it's like i can't turn my
00:50:29.800 children over to these people i i have a duty not to turn my people my children over to these people
00:50:35.620 so then what what do i have to do i'll do it because i like i've seen these public schools they're
00:50:41.140 they're they're nightmares they're crazy and unfortunately you know a lot of the private schools
00:50:46.400 are even the schools that say they are religious and i think there's some good ones that there's
00:50:50.600 some people that are trying but they're not quite they haven't quite you know gotten under their feet
00:50:54.140 yet but with classic education with great books um christian schools um there are someone you know
00:51:01.160 other options that are out there but i don't know i don't know if i can trust it yet i don't know from
00:51:06.000 there um um carrie killman also has a really great homeschool book and i would be remiss if i didn't
00:51:09.920 mention that because uh we used to do a podcast together and i think her book is excellent
00:51:13.060 and tanya just write it cover to cover and she's like i think i can do this oh i'll have to read
00:51:17.520 that what's her name carrie kellman okay i'm gonna have to get that i'll get you a copy of it but
00:51:20.840 the one thing that you know that i did want to say to people is like and i know you know if you're
00:51:28.460 like resurgating to the end of this podcast it's like you know having kids gives you something to
00:51:34.020 hope for right this is it's amazing every single minute i spend with my kids even when even when
00:51:42.700 they're acting up even when the baby is like 4 a.m and he's jet lagged and he's he's up screaming
00:51:49.300 it's like i would take this over not having kids any day of the week because when you hold them in
00:51:56.380 their arm in your arms and they calm down and whatever it was that scared them and to that person
00:52:03.480 your daddy or your mommy right and when you see how much love they have for you and how much they
00:52:12.660 depend on you and you just it just activates everything within your your biology the deep
00:52:19.020 programming that's in there the spirituality that you have it activates so many things that you didn't
00:52:24.800 quite understand about how the world worked and how about how society worked that when you have
00:52:30.520 kids you're like oh now i get it yep that makes sense now and and it's amazing and i wouldn't trade
00:52:35.920 it for anything in the world um you know people say like hey you know you've had this career you've
00:52:42.140 like done stuff you know stuff i never thought i you know would be able to accomplish but i couldn't
00:52:50.240 care less like i don't i don't think about that stuff on a regular basis i think about my kids and i think
00:52:54.780 this is clearly clearly the thing that i'm most proud about in my life i love that and it and it's
00:53:01.500 it's just how i feel about it right and it's um i didn't know i would feel that like i thought i i
00:53:06.840 that having kids would be cool like yeah having kids will be cool and i didn't like my son is my
00:53:12.020 best friend like we and especially like because he is like an exact copy of me so like when we play
00:53:19.040 together and we have like little jokes and stuff like we're into the same thing so like we have the
00:53:23.920 same type of psychology we think this and the baby not quite old enough to like have a personality yet
00:53:28.900 so we'll see but you know we can just like joke around without even talking right because he's just
00:53:36.100 he's me he's like a little reflection of me but he's still him right he's him in his own ways too
00:53:40.060 and so watching him grow and have his you know and i see you know i see a lot of tanya and him as well
00:53:47.400 too so it's like it's it's the reflection and you hope it's the best parts of both and not the worst
00:53:51.840 parts of uh of either because you know you know you don't want that but it's like man i just want
00:53:58.380 to spend the rest of my life making sure this guy is set up for success because they say look and and
00:54:04.160 talking about parenting and you know we started talking about sex in the city which is like anti-family
00:54:09.520 it's just it's just anti-family like i'm just gonna say it that's what it is yeah and
00:54:13.020 you can you can try to prepare the path for the child or you can prepare the child for the path
00:54:23.680 and that's kind of where i'm at right you know we're we're polish right like like life is hard
00:54:31.260 life is not easy life is not a bed of roses and i think that you know maybe this could be one of the
00:54:37.800 things that's driving zoomer anxiety i don't know but it's like the world is not a safe place the
00:54:42.700 world is not a place where you can just walk around it's like la la la la and especially lately because
00:54:47.840 we live in such a crazy era where like laws are you know in some cases like not being followed at all
00:54:53.180 or in other cases like you know don't let that mask slip down below your your nose between bites you
00:54:59.200 know one of the two extremes you get thrown off so it's like you have anarchism and tyranny at the same
00:55:03.420 time because society is going through a period of destabilization and so how do you and and i
00:55:10.220 understand what people will say you know how do i bring kids into a situation like that i say no you
00:55:14.300 have to yeah you have to right because we are the only people that can do this that can pass on and
00:55:21.100 say look don't be like them also this is really morbid to say but i mean the left is supporting all
00:55:27.500 their babies so we have the babies they're killing all of theirs we can raise the next conservative
00:55:33.800 christian generation to save this country i mean it's it's that is sort of the overall plan right
00:55:39.600 the overall plan is raise children raise them to be traditional and like i i've even said like i don't
00:55:46.520 necessarily care what my son's politics are i care about what his values are if that makes sense like
00:55:54.240 he's like oh i don't like this candidate i like that can't fine whatever but i'm gonna raise you
00:55:58.820 in the traditional way and i'm gonna try to pass on these values and when we pray every night
00:56:03.780 and i've already taught him he's three years old we pray in latin um it's like and and i know in the
00:56:10.340 back of my head that there are people in our family who have been praying this way for over a thousand
00:56:15.080 years and you you are a link in this beautiful amazing chain of human history yep that's been
00:56:25.440 going on and you can either accept that or you can go be a special snowflake and la la float around
00:56:34.280 but here's the problem alex what happens to snowflakes they melt yeah every single one of them melts
00:56:42.080 i think the moral of the story is you got to reject sex in the city ism you got to reject girl
00:56:46.520 bossism and you've got to embrace traditionalism i mean it's it's as simple as that and like that
00:56:52.160 doesn't mean you know we used to be and i have to give her credit um for saying this libby emmons
00:56:57.320 who's the editor of postmillennial she said it used to be in this country that we
00:57:02.060 had the same goal but we had differences on how to get there but we don't have the same goal anymore
00:57:10.200 we have like different goals now and one side is trying to stay in that traditional path and have
00:57:18.400 that traditional goal and the other side has a completely separate goal that they are driving
00:57:23.700 towards and that's the difference and that's what's going on so i hope you guys like that podcast this
