Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 127 — Obama, The Musical？ Romance Novels？ Instagram Moms？

00:00:00.000 From the age of Big Brother.

00:00:02.500 If they want to get you, they'll get you.

00:00:04.860 DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:08.800 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:30.000 44 was great.

00:00:34.400 It's exhilarating.

00:00:35.580 It's interactive.

00:00:36.760 Every actor was great.

00:00:38.640 It's worth seeing.

00:00:39.540 Don't miss it.

00:00:40.580 Go to another state.

00:00:41.700 Go to another country.

00:00:42.960 But make sure you see 44.

00:00:45.820 I just felt like I was in a whole other world for two hours.

00:00:48.700 So great, great music.

00:00:50.940 I'm mother f***ing mama.

00:00:53.580 It really made me nostalgic for a time when, I don't know, politics meant something beautiful.

00:01:00.000 And I really miss you, Obama, but come see the show and you'll recapture that spirit.

00:01:18.640 Well, on that note, it's thought crime Thursday.

00:01:27.220 Gosh, it's just so catchy when I hear the Obama musical music.

00:01:33.040 Who set this up?

00:01:34.560 Who else is on the show here today?

00:01:36.460 What's going on here?

00:01:37.560 Full house.

00:01:37.740 We've got five people.

00:01:39.280 Full house.

00:01:39.500 We could put on an Obama musical ourselves.

00:01:41.480 I love how Cliff is just front and center.

00:01:43.500 Look at him.

00:01:43.960 Look at him.

00:01:44.660 Actually, we have a—

00:01:45.840 You are the key stuff.

00:01:46.680 This is not a jacket, is it Cliff?

00:01:47.580 This is actually Lin-Manuel Miranda.

00:01:49.900 No, it's not a jacket.

00:01:51.160 This is a Citizens Alliance.

00:01:52.100 Just for the record, I did not wear a jacket, a formal jacket.

00:01:54.460 Is that a pullover?

00:01:55.480 Citizens Alliance pullover.

00:01:56.500 It is not a jacket.

00:01:57.440 It doesn't open all the way.

00:01:58.600 It's just like a quarter zip.

00:02:00.020 It's a quarter zip.

00:02:00.280 And all the donors will be very happy to know it looks very cheap.

00:02:03.660 I guess you have a quarter zip, huh?

00:02:05.460 Very cheap.

00:02:06.060 It looks very thin.

00:02:07.120 It does not look like it's protecting him at all.

00:02:08.840 We did not waste donor money.

00:02:11.420 We need to get some advice from Turning Point.

00:02:13.440 Where do you guys get your merch?

00:02:16.520 All that matters is it's American made.

00:02:18.480 Obama's got lots of money.

00:02:19.480 It's all China.

00:02:20.120 Tyler only does his shopping in China.

00:02:22.220 We should explain that.

00:02:23.440 so that intro was 44 the musical it's actually existed for a little while but it's on it's being

00:02:31.300 performed in dc for another 10 days i believe so if you live in that area you could go see it

00:02:36.360 and it's sort of strange to say this i wish i was in dc i would totally go see this i would not see

00:02:42.260 you would not see it you wouldn't see the obama musical i i would have ptsd from it but that's

00:02:48.720 the thing about it it's gotta be ridiculous yeah but they call it bipartisan fun yeah no there's

00:02:56.460 nothing bipartisan fun about it is apparently the theme is apparently the obama administration

00:03:02.120 as remembered by joe biden so it kind of leans in so it leans in on biden having foggy memory

00:03:08.920 and so he oh that is actually kind of fun uh but then the you you heard those like testimonials

00:03:14.440 like we forgot how good we had it and oh we missed the spirit of 44 and i'm back in the good old days

00:03:20.920 the guy who literally wokeified the country single-handedly i don't know jack you know what

00:03:27.920 you're in dc area you're gonna see it i'm not no i'm not gonna see it but i am i am gonna point

00:03:33.820 out that once again the left shows that they champion their heroes the left goes and makes

00:03:41.800 musicals. They go and make, you know, I mean, this is obviously cringe, but, you know, they're

00:03:46.220 willing to go and actually put on musicals, put on shows. They just did one about Luigi,

00:03:51.460 which I believe started in San Francisco. It's coming to Broadway. So they go in and they use

00:03:56.600 media in a cultural way that actually promotes their values to future generations. And so this

00:04:04.660 is something that the right we just don't do. We don't use the power of story. We don't use

00:04:09.520 the power of culture with the exception obviously of the turning point halftime show the all-american

00:04:16.160 halftime show it's like the one time the right actually tried to do this well but see we have

00:04:21.180 a disagreement on this jack and i think uh russ has my back here you got you got neocon thrillers

00:04:26.520 up the yin yang you got was it jack ryan you've got uh i mean you could make an argument neocons

00:04:33.600 are actually liberals tom tom cruise uh you know mission impossible and maybe mission impossible

00:04:40.040 i'm thinking more like top gun that felt very patriotic that felt cultural i suppose top gun

00:04:45.860 two is definitely neocon yeah it's all neocon though it's all like america you know uh i don't

00:04:53.520 know that i wouldn't say it's like neocons do this of course they're doing they're doing a

00:04:57.500 strike an airstrike on somewhere that's so vague we do airstrikes in a lot of places it was rush

00:05:02.500 out right it's definitely iran in in top gun 2 it's 100 iran yeah okay okay i'm i've misremembered

00:05:09.660 um i don't know they don't know blake is right they don't say it but like if you just watch the

00:05:15.180 film and you kind of like put the pieces together like they're clearly talking about iran we have

00:05:18.700 some b-roll of this uh from this obama musical number three can you just throw up some of the

00:05:24.700 stills here we go oh gosh there's hillary rodham basically the you know jack to your point

00:05:32.460 though you often make the observation that the left is basically run by a bunch of former theater

00:05:38.740 kids so this feels very apt well in this case it's not former yeah look at that that was that

00:05:46.620 the monkey pox guy funny you should bring up theater actually every time i don't know i don't

00:05:52.020 even know what to think of this it's just i just i just discovered that cliff maloney is actually

00:05:56.420 a full-time theater professional.

00:05:59.740 Oh, are we doing this?

00:06:00.780 Are we outing Cliff?

00:06:02.260 Hold on.

00:06:03.160 This is new to me.

00:06:04.220 I have a degree in theater arts.

00:06:06.640 Do you do amateur theater on the side

00:06:09.360 or pro theater on the side?

00:06:10.580 I haven't done a show since 2021.

00:06:12.840 Listen, there's a lot of Thespians

00:06:14.580 involved with libertarian.

00:06:16.480 I was Teen Angel in Greece

00:06:18.560 in 2021.

00:06:20.720 Played Gaston in Beating the Beast.

00:06:22.940 Glenn Guglia in The Wedding Singer.

00:06:25.440 he is the

00:06:26.520 rude

00:06:27.820 do you still have

00:06:29.160 the Gaston song

00:06:29.880 memorized

00:06:30.260 Julia Guglia

00:06:31.460 yes thank you

00:06:32.260 I knew somebody

00:06:32.740 would get it

00:06:33.280 exactly

00:06:33.760 Julia Guglia's

00:06:34.700 fiance

00:06:35.120 you and James O'Keefe

00:06:36.040 holding it down

00:06:36.660 for the theater kids

00:06:37.420 on the right

00:06:37.800 no hold on

00:06:38.400 give us like a Gaston

00:06:39.900 no one something

00:06:40.880 I'm retired at this point

00:06:42.020 I'm retired

00:06:42.760 who else

00:06:43.280 in conservative circles

00:06:45.460 does theater

00:06:46.840 I don't know

00:06:51.460 it's James and you

00:06:54.040 Rob Schneider

00:06:54.800 i mean we have what's your dream role what's your dream role um i played billy flynn in chicago

00:07:03.820 and that was like it was just a really cool role it's like the leading male but

00:07:08.900 the male is not the lead it's the two women obviously but um well he's the lawyer right

00:07:13.360 yeah yeah but it was just yeah you know every song it's like i mean it's like you're kind of

00:07:17.880 yeah you're kind of doing your own thing are you doing you see you musicals yeah there's some

00:07:22.200 good low quality videos online you can find really oh yeah guys i'll just get those hunted

00:07:27.920 down would you what role would you want i'll throw something out to get your back here um

00:07:31.920 told to hold your back here well and obviously rick runnell was running the kennedy center

00:07:36.120 for the longest for you know the first year but but also someone who's a huge fan of broadway

00:07:41.720 that on on the right is not someone who's in broadway but someone who is a huge fan

00:07:45.920 probably his favorite music genre is president donald j trump and a lot of people a lot of

00:07:52.020 people don't know this but if you spend time around him he's listening to Phantom of the Opera

00:07:56.300 soundtrack on repeat we were we were hearing that so much at one point that I actually had to sit

00:08:03.620 Tanya Tay down and show her the movie because she wasn't familiar with it and uh you know I think

00:08:08.260 I think it closed on um uh on Broadway after uh funny enough actually something that is going to

00:08:15.800 come up in a later topic because they did a sort of woke dei casting of christine uh even though

00:08:23.160 it's supposed to be a uh you know set in what 18th century france or something and you know at this uh

00:08:29.860 at this opera house and president trump loves broadway he's just a huge broadway fan uh he

00:08:34.700 obviously was going to the kennedy center a ton when uh when it was still in full operation last

00:08:39.260 i heard there um it looks like july 4th is going to be the final uh you know like final hurrah as

00:08:46.220 after they close it down for you know projected two years of maintenance but but it's something

00:08:51.260 that president trump really actually just enjoys he's a new yorker he's always on broadway he was

00:08:55.100 at the um the broadway opening of phantom with andrew lloyd weber it's something that he talked

00:08:59.340 about has talked about a number of times and uh it's just something that's funny that like i think

00:09:03.660 a lot of people don't know about the president okay quick on the spot favorite musical

00:09:09.260 come back to me

00:09:11.080 Hadestown

00:09:12.660 Hadestown, I've never heard of that one

00:09:14.800 Tyler? Is that actually good? I keep seeing

00:09:16.820 stuff for that

00:09:17.820 yeah, I mean there's one problem in it

00:09:19.920 there's an archetype that is pretty much Trump

00:09:22.800 and they sing a whole song about

00:09:24.560 knocking down the wall, but aside from that

00:09:26.900 you look past it, the music's fantastic

00:09:28.520 okay, alright, Tyler?

00:09:31.200 I don't know, I have a special

00:09:33.120 place in my heart for Les Mis

00:09:34.400 I was going to say Les Mis

00:09:35.520 I really like that one

00:09:37.800 i i really hate everything french but for some reason it doesn't feel french it's one of the

00:09:45.040 most french things ever created i don't literally was originally it's like the most french thing

00:09:49.540 ever it was written in french i i understand all of that i'm just saying when i watch it

00:09:55.020 in english it doesn't make me feel it makes me feel uh like the the liberty elements of les

00:10:03.760 miz i appreciate yeah and also and also the analogies with with christ and everything else

00:10:09.460 i think that's it's a truly christian musical jack what's your favorite it's uh no i was gonna

00:10:15.040 i love i love les miz um you know most of my life i would have said phantom um you know i might i

00:10:22.700 might give a slight edge to les miz now but um you know traditionally i would say phantom let me

00:10:28.280 stir the pot a little bit i think the funniest show is book of mormon book of mormon is very

00:10:32.500 fun they messed it up how in 2020 they changed the book of mormon because of george floyd and

00:10:39.680 the woke moment so they edited the jokes like if you see the show there's a joke where like oh did

00:10:45.640 you get my text and they're literally writing it on a typewriter like haha that's what a text would

00:10:50.960 be for them because they're in uganda and they're poor and they changed it to they just actually

00:10:54.820 have smartphones and they send it and the joke is like oh you dumb american think we don't have

00:10:59.360 smartphones in uganda yeah it's very stupid they did a few changes like that yeah yeah they messed

00:11:05.500 it up badly i always thought it was really funny i think we've talked about it on here before and

00:11:10.000 and but just cliff just you know blake has pretty much every word of book of mormon uh memorized

00:11:14.600 verbatim off the top of the said i do tyler i always have to say i i've always appreciated the

00:11:19.260 way that the lds church responded to book of mormon was to like use it as a promotional vehicle and be

00:11:25.880 like they're like hey you like the musical you'll love the book and they would just they also they

00:11:30.060 also screwed that up too though it was at first they embraced it the right way which is that way

00:11:34.240 which is the same way that charlie embraced yeah yeah that's all i remember uh and then since then

00:11:39.260 though now it's become like they don't embrace it now they now they reject it okay i embrace it

00:11:44.060 doesn't count but i embrace it i actually think it's great i think it's fine i don't think it's

00:11:48.760 that offensive and i actually really like the the producers of the content and uh anyway so i just

00:11:56.860 uh do you think that that opinion is widely held within the mormon community are you the

00:12:01.220 are you the exception at the rule uh i i don't think i i actually don't think many most mormons

00:12:06.780 are bothered by it at all i don't think they like even my favorite i just remember it's not a

00:12:11.280 musical though but it was the count of monte cristo uh count of monte cristo is good yeah

00:12:16.580 kind of a play version of it yeah okay they've done it by as the play i but i fell in love with

00:12:22.000 the one with jim caviezel for kids i i'm a big fan i've i've seen a few times with my kids matilda

00:12:28.720 matilda oh is that good my kids are actually super into matilda right now it's great the

00:12:35.360 broad the broadway version of matilda is like i think one of the best things you can take your

00:12:39.560 kids to i love that book i must have read that book like a hundred times when i was a kid and

00:12:43.800 they did a re a new version of it on netflix a few years ago that was based around the musical

00:12:49.340 like the actual broadway okay it's sort of related really good sort of related i saw one of the

00:12:53.920 comments that they're still waiting for my review of animal farm i have not seen it did you do this

00:12:57.840 last week yeah i did yeah it was really terrible it was catastrophically bad unfortunately okay

00:13:03.400 i don't blame obviously i don't blame angel studios for that i blame golem for that well

00:13:07.540 angel studios just did the distribution they didn't exactly exactly exactly yeah but the the

00:13:12.420 guild had to approve it so i don't know what the guild hey even the angel guild will get it wrong

00:13:17.240 from time to time yeah they're just still we're not bitter about it but it was it was devastating

00:13:21.300 i think someone was saying that like they approved it because they wanted to do an animal farm movie

00:13:26.020 and they're like oh yeah animal farm would be great but then they didn't realize that it was

00:13:29.340 like the the liberal animal farm thing i blame seth rogan so we talk about helena self-loathing

00:13:35.740 can we talk about that i know we're not like i mean i know it's kind of on top we probably could

00:13:39.920 I mean, it involves, I mean, what, what else, what else can we add that hasn't already been said?

00:13:46.140 A picture's worth a thousand words.

00:13:48.200 I saw this AI with, uh, wait, what's the, the, the, uh, the trans actor?

00:13:54.360 Ellen Page.

00:13:54.760 Ellen Page.

00:13:55.560 Ellen Page.

00:13:56.660 Um, I saw somebody, you know, that famous scene where Brad Pitt is like running after

00:14:01.340 and he like dodges a spear and then he dodges the next spear and then he like stabs him

00:14:05.260 for the back.

00:14:05.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:14:05.940 well they they did some ai version with elm page and it's just like starts running kind of like

00:14:11.540 weekly it's running down and then just gets just the first hair just takes her out uh actually i

00:14:19.080 think i could probably find the funny thing the funny thing is is it's not even though the rumor

00:14:22.260 is that uh ellen ellen ellen elliott page is going to be achilles that's not confirmed that's just a

00:14:28.700 rumor unlike helen of troy being black is unfortunately confirmed but there actually

00:14:33.180 is a trans character in the odyssey did you know that no so the sage tiresias is a fortune teller

00:14:40.740 and apollo gets mad at him and punishes him by turning him into a woman and so it would make

00:14:46.860 sense to actually show that character as androgynous in some way uh there's a notably a

00:14:52.460 odysseus runs into tiresias i believe in the underworld and um asks him a rather like pg-13

00:14:59.580 question he basically asked never mind i can't say it look it up go read the odyssey folks

00:15:04.260 you have to go read the odyssey i found it there it is russ says he's pulling it but it's worth

00:15:11.600 it's worth sharing since but um do you guys subscribe to the idea yet wait while we're on

00:15:18.320 the topic nolan's doing this for an oscar i don't think so you don't think so um i think he is i

00:15:25.700 think he is but also just in general i think that christopher nolan is vastly overrated

00:15:30.540 i just thought that for a long time i mean since uh what did he do that was good he did batman

00:15:36.820 he did the dark knight was the dark knight which came out almost 20 years no batman no batman

00:15:41.360 begins was good batman begins the dark knight was perfectly good dark night was a good movie

00:15:46.120 the dark knight rises i i have i i was so upset by the dark knight that i actually uploaded the

00:15:51.780 entire movie into Final Cut Pro and

00:15:53.760 made my own edit of it. I called mine

00:15:55.660 The Darker Night.

00:15:57.620 Sounds overtly pegging to me.

00:16:00.140 Alright, here we go.

00:16:02.420 Interstellar is incredible.

00:16:04.180 We're going to do the...

00:16:04.940 We have that Ellen Page video.

00:16:06.860 Let's let him show it.

00:16:08.320 No, Interstellar's great.

00:16:09.640 Okay, play the Ellen Page video.

00:16:11.440 Love will win.

00:16:14.420 Oh, does it not have sound?

00:16:15.660 That's okay.

00:16:17.520 This is the AI?

00:16:18.660 This is all AI, yes.

00:16:20.000 but like i mean i think they're borrowing heavily from the from the actual film here

00:16:24.720 it's somewhat mangled as an ai and yeah you can see that

00:16:30.640 that's all that's it directed by michael oh yeah because the original version had like

00:16:37.400 great music playing but uh anyways so there it is uh oh and then we have we okay apparently

00:16:43.500 we do we have it uh do we have do we have that one clip russ

00:16:50.000 of chicago wait musical wait let's hang on one second while while we're on this memento is good

00:16:55.840 jack memento is good the prestige inception i'll give you inception's a great movie inception is

00:17:04.480 only good on the first watch it doesn't actually hold up after the first watch every once every

00:17:09.200 10 years i mean i just watched it again for the first time in like 20 years most movies you're

00:17:14.240 only gonna see once anyway so you forget you forget i forgot everything in it and then i

00:17:19.040 watched it again just like not that long yeah if you're someone who has a memory then no it doesn't

00:17:22.940 it doesn't work we got a uh we got a that was the first movie i watched dylan ivy here dylan's a

00:17:28.060 regular he's here every week dylan says i hated dunkirk what's that i hated dunkirk i didn't like

00:17:32.580 dunkirk dunkirk was perfectly good what are you talking about okay so jack you've now you've now

00:17:37.180 you've now argued against yourself you now have argued against yourself you think that most of

00:17:43.060 Christopher Nolan's stuff is good.

00:17:45.080 I said he's overrated.

00:17:47.580 I think he's rated.

00:17:48.320 Which movie was overrated?

00:17:50.020 He was rated.

00:17:50.540 Yeah.

00:17:51.740 The Interstellar and the Second Super Bowl.

00:17:53.540 Interstellar and the Dark Knight?

00:17:54.840 Like, everything that, like,

00:17:55.860 literally all of America loves,

00:17:57.220 both those movies?

00:17:59.040 Well, sometimes people are wrong.

00:18:01.360 Yeah, but usually the people are awesome.

00:18:02.560 Walmart sells a lot of clothes.

00:18:04.080 So, Dylan Ivey says,

00:18:05.740 I don't know about going to the musical,

00:18:07.660 but I still think y'all should still send Blake

00:18:10.600 to the Met Gala next year

00:18:12.120 as an action news reporter.

00:18:14.140 It would be a lot of content.

00:18:15.380 Who are you wearing?

00:18:16.780 Who am I wearing?

00:18:17.840 That's what you asked.

00:18:18.420 I mean, I guess I might have to wear...

00:18:20.460 Gosh.

00:18:22.060 No, that's the question you asked.

00:18:25.780 He's not looking for an answer.

00:18:27.100 He's saying that's what you're going to say.

00:18:28.280 You have to ask, like, who are you wearing?

00:18:30.100 Oh.

00:18:30.780 What does that even mean?

00:18:32.420 What brand are you wearing?

00:18:33.460 Oh, who are you wearing?

00:18:34.360 It's all by some designer.

00:18:35.560 Oh, gosh.

00:18:36.300 That sounds ghastly.

00:18:37.460 I'm like a pop culture retailer.

00:18:39.120 He's a 3D printer.

00:18:39.980 Andrew knows about those things.

00:18:40.880 That's why he's always accidentally wearing a jacket on this show.

00:18:45.840 Blake with a top-line $20,000 tux with no shirt underneath would be really hilarious.

00:18:55.500 Dude, if you're doing the 100 push-up challenge, you're going to be looking good.

00:18:58.020 And eye glitter.

00:19:00.160 Guess what, Jack?

00:19:02.180 I challenged Jack to a 100 push-up challenge.

00:19:04.520 I can't do 100 in one setting.

00:19:07.340 You have to take a break, and then I can do 100.

00:19:08.820 but uh jack yeah i can usually do it with a break i can do it with a break no i can do it with a

00:19:14.180 break on it no i can do it with a break i'm talking one set all the way through and blake

00:19:18.880 already got started let's do it i'm in like blake already got started yeah i did he's got an app for

00:19:23.920 there's an app you can get an there's a hundred push up app takes about six weeks they say so

00:19:27.000 blake blake is starting at week four yeah he's just cool so how do you how do you work your way

00:19:31.320 up to it uh so i'll just whip it out here so it's called uh let's get it here it's called pushy

00:19:36.140 and you

00:19:37.860 it'll have you start

00:19:39.580 it starts off doing like only a handful of sets a day

00:19:41.880 but what you'll do is you'll do like

00:19:43.740 five or six sets in pretty quick

00:19:45.940 succession so I started on week four day one

00:19:47.960 and it went 22

00:19:49.840 26 21

00:19:51.560 18 19 31

00:19:54.100 and you're supposed to

00:19:55.960 wait no more than

00:19:57.880 five minutes between sets when you do them

00:19:59.820 I got up to 80

00:20:01.940 and I gave out

00:20:03.680 so I don't know what Jack would do

00:20:05.320 What's with the random numbers?

00:20:06.580 I don't get the random numbers.

00:20:08.040 I don't know.

00:20:08.500 It's probably science came up with it.

00:20:10.080 It's science, Jack.

00:20:11.240 Yeah.

00:20:11.920 Science.

00:20:13.240 Okay, without further ado,

00:20:14.880 without further ado,

00:20:15.640 we do have Cliff's Broadway performance here.

00:20:20.940 It's off-Broadway probably, right?

00:20:22.820 Off-off-Broadway.

00:20:23.280 It would be off-off-Broadway.

00:20:23.820 No, no, it's all-Broadway.

00:20:25.000 Off-off-off-Broadway.

00:20:27.020 I had to invent it just for him.

00:20:28.720 All right.

00:20:29.520 It's loaded as 24.

00:20:30.780 Play it.

00:20:32.120 Mr. Billy Flynn sings a press conference rag.

00:20:35.320 Notice how his mouth never moves.

00:20:37.560 Almost.

00:20:39.760 Where'd you come from?

00:20:41.620 Mississippi.

00:20:43.420 And your parents?

00:20:45.260 Very wealthy.

00:20:47.060 Where are they now?

00:20:48.760 Six feet under, but she was granted one more start.

00:20:52.080 The Convent of the Sacred Heart.

00:20:54.180 When'd you get here?

00:20:55.880 1920.

00:20:57.680 How old were you?

00:20:59.480 Don't remember.

00:21:01.180 Then what happened?

00:21:03.020 I'm Amos, and he stole my heart away, convinced me.

00:21:07.280 The ending's the only good part.

00:21:08.820 You gotta play the last thing.

00:21:09.860 I gotta go find the ending, we'll get it.

00:21:11.820 I think next week, we should get that suit for you.

00:21:15.000 You should wear that.

00:21:15.740 If I had that burgundy suit, it is like a box suit.

00:21:18.940 And at the end, I'm standing up, you can see it.

00:21:20.240 It is like a pure box.

00:21:22.160 I might contemplate making an exception to the no jacket rule

00:21:25.160 if you wear that suit on the set.

00:21:27.340 And it's not wearing a suit, it's not wearing a jacket,

00:21:29.160 it's wearing a costume.

00:21:30.480 Cliff, you're actually good.

00:21:32.400 I'm an actor who sings, not a singer who acts.

00:21:35.580 So I, you know, would push through it.

00:21:37.640 The ending's good, though.

00:21:38.800 If you watch the ending, then I could say, yeah, all right.

00:21:40.260 Think about how many votes you could drive out in the midterms.

00:21:43.720 In Euro.

00:21:44.440 In Republican primaries.

00:21:47.380 I want to get back a little bit.

00:21:49.140 No, I bet in New Hampshire there's a few.

00:21:52.740 Oh, yeah, New Hampshire's prime ground for this.

00:21:55.100 They're cultured up there.

00:21:56.820 The widest parts.

00:21:58.380 that actually gets at something which i think i want to actually talk a little bit more about

00:22:04.280 the obama musical because it's so fitting that obama is getting a musical in the sense that

00:22:09.900 the obama year first of all musicals are totally like a a fancy white liberal thing a white people

00:22:15.680 thing oh yeah and obama was kind of he was the last gasp of this sort of white lib dominated

00:22:24.560 america like it's this is the group that gave us hamilton ironic because he's black yeah of course

00:22:30.420 uh but it's this is totally the sort of thing that they would get into the whole you know again

00:22:34.540 they pushed hamilton everywhere that was dominating dc in the mid-2010s and you just read the

00:22:40.460 descriptions of these apparently uh the guy who plays obama comes on stage and says i'm mother

00:22:47.240 effing obama it's definitely a way a millennial would do it i love these descriptions here

00:22:52.000 Hillary Clinton is the bitter, scorned woman with a feminist rant titled My Turn.

00:22:58.560 It's then followed by a performance by a bikini-clad Sarah Palin titled, PG-13 warning, Drill Me Baby.

00:23:07.140 She is joined by fellow villains Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and various blonde hobots from Faux News.

00:23:14.380 The Republicans convene a meeting of WHAM, the white hetero affluent men group,

00:23:19.200 where they appoint Herman Cain as a token black member.

00:23:22.000 Lindsey Graham prances about

00:23:24.700 With a tiny parasol

00:23:26.340 And makes

00:23:27.000 Somewhat uncouth comments

00:23:29.880 And they exclude Trump

00:23:32.700 Entirely from the story

00:23:33.680 They just wanted a breather

00:23:36.720 From Trump

00:23:37.140 Alright Cliff we have it

00:23:38.780 25

00:23:39.580 A lot of pressure

00:23:40.380 Both reach for

00:23:45.560 The

00:23:46.740 I had much lower expectations.

00:24:02.980 That was pretty good.

00:24:04.020 You got to play the ending.

00:24:06.300 All they give me is the Mexican hat dance.

00:24:09.620 That's great.

00:24:10.940 That's great.

00:24:11.700 We got to get the suit.

00:24:13.020 We got to get the suit.

00:24:13.880 That's like really good.

00:24:14.660 You hit that note.

00:24:16.280 Yeah.

00:24:16.740 Listen, I'm all for bringing back masculinity to the arts.

00:24:21.500 The arts are awful because it's run by a bunch of femme Nazis and gay people.

00:24:25.900 If you could actually insert some frickin' masculinity in there.

00:24:29.060 And then you got Christopher Nolan, who should be kind of a masculine director,

00:24:32.180 and he's botching everything.

00:24:34.780 Speaking of the arts, I know that Blake, on the next topic,

00:24:39.100 wanted to do some review of deleting, I guess, fiction,

00:24:44.460 but a certain type of fiction.

00:24:45.900 Isn't that right, Blake?

00:24:46.740 Oh, 100% true.

00:24:47.980 100% true.

00:24:49.140 Do we want to jump into that?

00:24:49.900 Yeah, let's hit it.

00:24:50.600 All right.

00:24:51.100 It's all related.

00:24:52.300 Oh, 100%, especially the way we've moved this.

00:24:55.280 Here, let me go grab the original tweet.

00:24:57.060 So this was all prompted by a rather amusing observation someone made on UnX.

00:25:05.180 They were going through Amazon.

00:25:07.180 Amazon has some amazingly good detailed tracking of who is buying their products.

00:25:12.300 And Amazon sells a lot of books.

00:25:13.620 they sell a lot of the only books people buy anymore are romance novels and

00:25:16.960 they have them subdivided into a bunch of categories,

00:25:18.960 including interracial romance,

00:25:21.760 big genre category.

00:25:23.020 That's a category.

00:25:23.660 Interracial romance.

00:25:24.760 And someone took the top 100 bestselling interracial romance novels of the

00:25:30.780 past year.

00:25:31.960 And 38 of them are white guy,

00:25:36.060 black woman.

00:25:36.880 20 of them are white guy,

00:25:39.260 Asian woman.

00:25:39.760 19 of them

00:25:41.400 Are

00:25:42.620 White guy

00:25:44.020 With a white woman

00:25:45.040 But misclassified

00:25:46.100 Because they classify

00:25:46.980 An Italian

00:25:47.680 Or a Russian

00:25:48.420 As not white

00:25:49.160 Then

00:25:50.160 They have

00:25:50.880 Nine of them

00:25:51.400 Are white guy

00:25:52.280 Latina woman

00:25:53.640 Four are white guy

00:25:55.500 Indian woman

00:25:56.700 Six

00:25:58.120 Out of a hundred

00:25:59.200 They're both not white

00:26:00.340 One was gay

00:26:01.780 One was

00:26:03.580 A

00:26:04.160 I believe

00:26:04.840 African American

00:26:05.480 I think it looks like

00:26:06.380 Asian man

00:26:07.220 Black woman

00:26:07.860 And one was

00:26:08.540 Asian man

00:26:09.120 White female

00:26:09.700 so hold on like white males what's the audience i think i think i think we need to know what the

00:26:16.880 audience is for this because this is this is i think the salient point here i think i well we

00:26:22.720 don't i don't think we have that data specifically but i think we know the like the white male as it

00:26:28.220 was in the tweet the tweet thread 58 we're at basically 60 65 70 how many how many are black

00:26:35.880 male white woman we're like 70 70 no we are well over 70 we are look it was 38 20 19 9 literally

00:26:43.380 over 90 percent of them are a white guy with a non-white woman so then the answer as jack is

00:26:48.280 getting that is these are consumed overwhelmingly by women and it turned and in general i'd say

00:26:55.380 consumed by in this case women of color black women so they they all crave press they crave

00:27:03.120 the hairy barbarian nordic bodies in their romance is very telling actually so this is what we're

00:27:10.400 pulling down multicultural and based on amazon bestsellers wait wait pull up the where's that

00:27:15.780 ai deal again uh i just want to read it based on this the is the overwhelming market is heavily

00:27:23.200 dominated by bwwm black women white man pairings particularly within the billionaire mafia and

00:27:31.760 sports romance subgenres dark romance and forced proximity are currently the top performing

00:27:37.540 and and blake the the point that they're getting at i believe is that the the audience for this

00:27:45.720 is is not white men is it no it's not it's it is the women themselves and that's why i find this

00:27:51.260 really interesting this is no it's i think it's it's like black women black women want to read

00:27:55.700 a romance novel where a white guy falls in love with a black woman or a lot of them do i bet

00:28:01.240 there's some white women that read this stuff probably i think they're probably not put off

00:28:05.160 by it because a lot of the women who read this are woke so they'll they'll feel righteous as they

00:28:10.300 read this and then the other groups actively like that american white women do the misclassified

00:28:16.280 the italian russian male with a white woman they might well you know i like this question i have a

00:28:22.860 proximity subgenre what's very interesting about romance novels in general they have a lot of

00:28:27.780 very specific niche subgenres that will get tons of entries. I know we've talked in here before

00:28:33.040 how there's a million hockey romances, like just go to Barnes and Noble, you'll find tons of them

00:28:38.880 and they're all hockey specifically, but they'll also do that with types. And so they mentioned

00:28:43.520 there, the billionaire subgenre, the mafia subgenre, the sports subgenre, and yeah, forced

00:28:48.120 proximity. That would be, there's tropes where I think two people are fish out of water and you are,

00:28:53.680 very different worlds, and you contrive

00:28:56.080 a reason they're stuck together.

00:28:58.140 So that could be they're in a shipwreck

00:28:59.880 and they're stuck on a desert island.

00:29:01.720 Stuck in an elevator.

00:29:03.920 Trapped in a panic room. Trapped on an alien

00:29:05.940 planet. A million different iterations

00:29:07.800 of this, but they'll all follow the same

00:29:10.080 beats of, oh, I like the idea

00:29:12.060 of them being trapped together.

00:29:13.520 Did anybody here ever date a black woman?

00:29:18.580 Looking at you, Cliff.

00:29:19.920 No? Andrew, something you want to share?

00:29:22.260 I'm going to be fair.

00:29:23.680 i'm gonna i'm gonna be very blunt most black it's not me most black women hate me

00:29:28.820 oh i don't know why in general do they get that i don't know what it is do you like if you like

00:29:36.880 show up and i don't know what it is do they know i piss off black women like i'm not kidding it's

00:29:44.300 been my whole life i don't know what it is like i don't know why but i'm the bothered by black

00:29:48.000 women love me most black women like yeah most black women do not find me funny they do not like

00:29:53.380 me they don't think my humor is good they don't think like my sassiness or whatever like they

00:29:59.380 don't like sassy are you sassy so i used to so i used to have you discovered this through experience

00:30:04.700 or something like yes you this is anecdotal it's your personal experience personal experience like

00:30:10.060 i i have many stories i don't know if i should share them but like it is true like at an r&b

00:30:15.720 concert and you were okay fine i'll just share did you go to a boys to men show when i was in

00:30:20.680 college i worked for a bank he went to see the michael jackson movie and he was thrown out

00:30:24.280 he asked somebody to be quiet and he got there when i worked for college when i was in college

00:30:30.380 i worked for a bank and we acquired a bank that was largely based in detroit okay and every single

00:30:36.140 bank manager that i was there to support was a black woman and i talked to basically exclusively

00:30:42.680 black women every single day and i was like i'm like i was a really nice person they did not like

00:30:48.260 me at all like did not like not none of them it was like i was batting zero i would have been good

00:30:53.620 at that job i'm noise so i have friends that like are loved by like yeah one of my best friends is

00:31:00.420 like loved by black i'll run into black women just like at the store or whatever and they're like

00:31:05.400 i mean get on like a house on fire i'm not it's not i mean you need to think it's if you're in

00:31:11.380 military government you'll find that a lot of like the administrative hr roles tend to be black

00:31:16.600 women so if you can't you know build a rapport there if you can't uh just have a conversation

00:31:22.600 then like you are not going to be very successful in any of those roles and what can i say look

00:31:28.120 cliff you know coming from the philly area like it's just something you grew up with hey hey

00:31:32.680 like on that list are there any black women mexican man novels uh i don't think so it seems

00:31:39.960 like there was asian there's yeah asian male there's there's nine white male latin female

00:31:45.560 sorry let's see are there any others let's see uh authors yeah i don't think there there is

00:31:53.140 amusingly there is exactly one um all right black male white there's one there is one indian male

00:32:00.340 white female novel written by an indian woman and it has arranged marriage themes arranged marriage

00:32:07.000 things so that's that's definitely this is hilarious so this this tweet was drafted by this

00:32:12.360 guy boochie i guess yeah and he goes there was only one black male white female romance novel

00:32:17.720 at least that's what i thought it turns out the male protagonist is russian with a viking

00:32:22.700 with viking traits and apparently the cover used stock photography at relaunch in an effort to

00:32:28.540 quote appeal to a different audience these covers are amazing by the way let's see if we can throw

00:32:33.140 up one of these uh we have fjord lords captive there that one is really amazing looking so you

00:32:40.520 know what's weird about this is because i'm looking at this this image right here and i mean

00:32:48.220 so here i gotta put this image up here but what's interesting about this is so this is this is all

00:32:54.480 consumed by women yes so women apparently like the yeah there you go alpha alpha's mate bad boy

00:33:00.600 bears book too this is terrible stuff but it's actually this is the only thing keeping the bottom

00:33:07.800 like 60 of the population literate by the way um that's very elitist of you uh yes but what's

00:33:14.320 interesting if you if you swap the roles like men are kind of famous for porn i don't i'm not

00:33:21.180 encouraging that 11 year olds where the roles would be reversed it's a famous genre i mean i'm

00:33:25.920 not it certainly is uh it's just a fascinating weird dynamic that's kind of why i wanted to

00:33:31.720 wait hold on what are we showing up here what are they putting

00:33:34.780 producer russ has made wait blake you have a series of interracial novels blake is that true

00:33:45.660 i'm looking at the author here they're written by they're written by russ spacey

00:33:50.200 hat on russ writes all of he's got the rice hat on and he's with a vietnamese girl look at that's

00:33:55.220 him after 100 push-ups though that was that that one that's yeah that's blake after 100 push-ups

00:33:59.640 blake why are you wearing dress shoes on the beach a man should always be properly dressed at all

00:34:04.620 times jack this is literally the only way blake nights everything i love how you have the quarter

00:34:09.600 zip no matter what situation you're in by the way like on the pallet again a man should always be

00:34:14.860 properly dressed at an elevator on the rice paddies that one's hilarious where you were in

00:34:21.240 the yeah the one with the hat the rice paddy hat yeah well we were just talking about i would read

00:34:26.600 that we were just talking about theater this is like blake's west side story no that's the um

00:34:31.540 the plot of uh good morning vietnam right doesn't he have he has like a vietnamese um

00:34:35.820 like girlfriend that he meets when he's uh when he's robin williams when he's stationed there

00:34:39.460 i don't know i've never seen that movie i've seen it for a while he's never seen good morning

00:34:44.740 vietnam gosh all right what is the takeaway here cliff why are there why are white men dominating

00:34:50.840 the interracial uh romance novel category look here's what i need to say about that uh we are

00:34:57.720 not objects stop objectifying us we keep objectifying us do it this is a weird like

00:35:04.160 underhanded compliment individuals they hate us in culture and they hate us politically

00:35:08.740 but they love us that's the take that's the takeaway they can yeah you can no we'll go with

00:35:13.900 that we'll go with that the hate is on the surface the hate is on the surface because

00:35:18.620 what's simmering right underneath yeah it's i mean we've also seen this we've seen the

00:35:23.880 no i just think that i've seen who watches bridgerton okay

00:35:28.200 you did you watch it seen it ridgerton wow did you watch it jack no okay all right i mean he says

00:35:41.320 he's seen who watches it i don't know i haven't last point of clarification we're saying that the

00:35:46.500 people that are buying these books we we know that they are minority females or that's what

00:35:53.700 significantly that's according to this data according to this data set no based on based

00:35:59.380 on sales and amazon data where's the fact i didn't see that anywhere blake was in the

00:36:05.860 thing i read it blake was was presuming no no it's in the chat is it no this is uh he's presuming

00:36:16.500 no it's right there what does zuzu's pedal say from can you make the steamies undercover a t-shirt

00:36:23.040 and sell it maybe i i made it our i made it our group photo and on telegram oh dear

00:36:30.340 geez you did look at that dear lord okay that is that is hold on jack don't say anything don't

00:36:37.160 say anything cliff what is the takeaway here uh the takeaway i do agree with jack is that

00:36:42.160 They act in public and virtue signal that all white men are evil,

00:36:47.400 but in reality, they've got a soft spot for us.

00:36:50.820 We're charming.

00:36:51.440 Well, here's what's confusing about it.

00:36:53.380 I mean, we've made pretty dramatic inroads with black men,

00:36:57.840 specifically like black men love Trump,

00:37:00.540 and they've broken the whole since we were just talking about Obama,

00:37:05.240 since the Obama era.

00:37:06.560 Black women, not so much.

00:37:08.620 Black women are not big fans.

00:37:12.160 of most of us, but

00:37:14.120 they're buying the books, so

00:37:16.060 there's got to be an inroad there,

00:37:17.940 politically. Look at my African

00:37:20.080 American over here.

00:37:21.880 I also think, yeah, they do love Trump,

00:37:23.980 but I do think we always underestimate

00:37:26.000 how much black men

00:37:27.720 hated Kamala Harris.

00:37:30.440 I mean, they

00:37:31.640 hated her with a passion.

00:37:34.040 How do they feel about Michelle?

00:37:36.020 I think they look at Michelle Obama as like

00:37:37.940 an actual black woman. I think they just

00:37:39.900 looked at Kamala, and it was a little too yappy

00:37:41.920 and a little too Indian?

00:37:43.780 Yeah, like, is she faking it?

00:37:45.440 Is she really a black woman?

00:37:47.320 Correct.

00:37:50.520 Okay.

00:37:51.540 All right.

00:37:52.800 Someone was asking if they can make a romance novel cover

00:37:55.600 set in the Roman Empire.

00:37:57.440 You would be good at that.

00:37:58.520 They did ask for me.

00:37:59.600 His own comments.

00:38:01.580 Caligula?

00:38:02.220 Oh, dear.

00:38:04.660 We got it before.

00:38:06.880 I have a hard out,

00:38:08.120 but I would love to hit this millennial mom thing.

00:38:11.920 this i've been sitting on this for like two weeks now you're talking about the one where 40 year old

00:38:15.960 moms are having more babies than no no no no not that one this it's related to that but this was

00:38:22.840 the one where it was like they were saying that millennial moms so moms who i guess like are in

00:38:28.020 their 30s 40s now are actually reporting more uh this is a newsweek article and they were reporting

00:38:35.440 to be more feeling more drained feeling more mentally anguished feeling more uh what was the

00:38:42.900 word resentful this was this is the headline from newsweek feeling more resentful than mothers of

00:38:50.520 other generations so gen x and uh baby boomer boomer mothers and it said well the findings

00:38:56.880 suggest that while motherhood has changed across generations the burden of of managing family life

00:39:01.520 still falls disproportionately on moms because that's kind of a ridiculous uh suggestion like

00:39:06.200 obviously moms are the best at raising families because that's why we have moms that's what they

00:39:09.940 are for um but it was talking about how millennial moms have a higher rate of burnout and resentment

00:39:16.540 and that personal time is their number one need and stated that way more than gen x or uh or baby

00:39:26.320 boomer moms and i wanted to throw out to the chat of course which we are reading and also to the

00:39:31.880 gang here as to what we think might be the reason for this uh huge generational disparity social

00:39:38.440 media social media uh yeah i mean it's just like they all look i'm telling you they all look on

00:39:46.860 instagram and they all compare their lives to all the other moms and how they have it put together

00:39:51.520 and they're like my life sucks compared to them i'm resentful delete instagram yeah seriously

00:39:56.040 they would be so much happier if they just deleted instagram when you figure if you're

00:39:59.540 in your 30s or 40s you know you're raising kids in the era of like you have to be a victim you

00:40:05.240 know we've kind of gone over the hump of that and it's like i think they're probably fighting for

00:40:08.740 privilege points and it's like you said everybody's critical on social media i mean it's i also yeah

00:40:14.400 but i also think it's like the expectations on moms these days are completely out of bounds like

00:40:19.400 gen xers were free range kids like boomers like let their kids just like ride around the park and

00:40:25.600 right around the neighborhood like didn't have to helicopter parent them so you got to do that

00:40:30.060 then you got to get them the tutor then you got to get them the piano lessons and the and the

00:40:33.920 like fencing whatever the hell we've made being a parent a lot more miserable they've made being

00:40:38.160 a parent a lot more miserable like it's it's more time consuming there's a lot more things you have

00:40:43.900 to worry about either literally so if you live in a place with bad public schools now that's

00:40:49.180 something you have to you might have to homeschool you might have to find the right private school

00:40:53.040 or get them into the right public school.

00:40:55.940 And you have to be a boss, babe, at the same time.

00:40:57.840 And you've got to have a job.

00:40:59.160 You have to have a full-time job.

00:41:00.320 And that's what the article is talking about.

00:41:02.460 I'm doing my tie right now as we chat here because I have a hit.

00:41:06.640 But Jolie Silva, Ph.D.

00:41:10.280 How's my tie? I wasn't even looking.

00:41:11.520 It's pretty good. Not bad for a Catholic school kid.

00:41:15.280 That millennial mothers were raised in a climate of women's empowerment

00:41:18.400 to climb the corporate ladder, be entrepreneurs,

00:41:21.080 become highly educated and make their own money most of these women also wanted to be moms and

00:41:26.720 perhaps weren't presented with the realities of the hardest job so you you have the girl bossism

00:41:31.560 on one hand but i would i would definitely argue that instagram brain is a huge part of that

00:41:37.260 particularly because you know they go on instagram and and you know they're going to see like some

00:41:41.440 influencer who's like got the perfect house got the perfectly you know is like working out all

00:41:47.000 the time. Everything seems great. Kids seem great, has a job. And it's like, how am I supposed to

00:41:52.080 compete with that? And internally, subconsciously, it creates all of these problems. So that's why I

00:41:57.780 tweeted on Mother's Day, that if you want to be a good husband to your wife, to your spouse on

00:42:04.880 Mother's Day, yes, of course, take her out, treat her well. But if you really want to help her

00:42:09.320 unburden her mental load, if you want to help her find that way to relax, don't get her spa tickets,

00:42:15.800 don't give her that back rub the main thing that you can do is to take her phone and delete

00:42:22.560 instagram i gotta agree with that i think um yeah so russ is making a good point because they're

00:42:29.240 doing wedding planning right now and like the fomo thing is real so my wife used to be a wedding

00:42:33.180 planner and she and her mom did the business together and they were talking about how brides

00:42:37.740 kept getting worse and worse because of pinterest so they would all compare their wedding even though

00:42:43.180 they had like a $50,000 budget or a $30,000 budget and they'd be comparing it to like

00:42:47.000 a million dollar budget or half million dollar budget.

00:42:49.160 So all they're feeling is like inadequacy after inadequacy, FOMO, FOMO, FOMO.

00:42:54.260 So, you know, poor Russ is trying to plan one right now.

00:42:56.840 And you're comparing yourself to like the entirety of the internet.

00:42:59.520 This is why I think people were happier when we just lived in like villages.

00:43:02.860 All you had to compare yourself to what you just resent your neighbor.

00:43:06.800 Yeah.

00:43:07.020 When you were living in a village and just like Matt, imagine like prehistoric times,

00:43:11.380 You're literally, your psychology on some level is probably wired most closely to that.

00:43:15.080 Scott Adams used to talk about this.

00:43:15.440 What?

00:43:16.600 Scott Adams used to say exactly what you're saying right now.

00:43:18.820 Oh, okay.

00:43:20.740 I'm legitimately not ripping it off, Scott Adams, but it's, you made the point.

00:43:24.620 Yeah, it's a good point.

00:43:25.360 He agreed with exactly what you're saying.

00:43:27.020 Yeah, you just compare yourself to the other, like, you know, Neanderthal and like making fire in the corner.

00:43:33.100 Oh, he got a bigger deer than me.

00:43:34.640 Okay.

00:43:35.300 I guess that's, but you would also know your role in like a social structure much more clearly.

00:43:40.100 Like I'm part of the guys that go out and hunt for, you know, wild, you know, animals.

00:43:45.620 Or you're a woman that sits around and you, you know, make the bread.

00:43:49.940 A really interesting manifestation of that, that I don't know if it's really been deeply investigated, but it's an interesting theory.

00:43:56.360 So we talk about number of kids, people are having fertility rates over the past five years, roughly since COVID.

00:44:03.720 the number of children being born in middle to lower middle income countries has absolutely

00:44:10.680 cratered like the number of kids that are having in latin america because they all got cell phones

00:44:14.420 yeah so the number of kids they're having in the middle east the number of kids they're having in

00:44:17.500 southeast asia those places that are they're not rock bottom poor but they're lower they're middle

00:44:22.080 to lower middle class countries and i think a real factor in that as you say they got cell phones

00:44:26.500 they got on social media so we're getting fomo of things in the united states imagine how bad

00:44:32.900 your life FOMO is if you're a person living on $3,000 a year in Jakarta, Indonesia.

00:44:38.960 I have a crazy story on this.

00:44:40.520 So when I graduated college, I ended up joining up with an organization.

00:44:44.520 I went to Africa for a mission trip.

00:44:46.920 And I was there for months.

00:44:48.620 And I was around the Maasai people.

00:44:51.080 So we would do these little tours out to Maasai land.

00:44:55.840 And at one instance, I was literally in a Maasai's hut, like a traditional, old, ancient hut.

00:45:02.900 There's nothing modern about it, but they did it in all the old school way.

00:45:06.140 When I got in there, I saw a car battery that somebody had sold them,

00:45:11.540 and they used the car battery to charge their cell phones.

00:45:14.760 So these Maasai are living completely ancient lives,

00:45:17.460 and this is probably at the advent of smartphone technology,

00:45:21.940 maybe a little before, but I remember thinking,

00:45:24.480 they had full cell service out there, they lived in a hut,

00:45:28.080 they were hunter-gatherers, but they had a car battery to charge their cell phones.

00:45:31.800 it was like the wildest dichotomy they didn't have anything else but they had a car battery

00:45:36.720 to charge but so they could they use the car battery to charge the cell phone so they could

00:45:42.460 get on amazon and download the interracial novels it correct with the white man were they happy

00:45:48.200 were they happy yes they were happy those those folks were really happy but again this was at

00:45:53.700 the advent of all that but i i sort of wonder if you if i went back now and i saw them still

00:45:58.080 living in huts you know dodging elephants literally like you know uh would they now

00:46:04.100 have iphones or androids comparing themselves to western cultures or asian cultures or whatever

00:46:10.060 um it was a really really fascinating experience no i i think that's a huge part of it um i think

00:46:16.520 you are starting and by the way i've seen something too with like millennials and just

00:46:20.480 zoomers on uh on instagram in general where people like act like they've got a brand if they've and

00:46:26.960 they'll have like 200 followers or whatever and it's like what's up guys here's what i'm doing

00:46:32.160 today la la la and it's like like who who are you like what are you doing like we shouldn't nine

00:46:38.700 views yeah exactly like nine views or something and i'm not dissing it or anything like if you

00:46:44.160 want to get started that's fine but i do think that we've created a problem we have a problem

00:46:48.680 in society and social media particularly instagram and tiktok cause this where everybody wants to be

00:46:54.320 like the person on stage everybody wants to be the um you know the the center of attention

00:47:01.480 and it creates this this really narcissistic feedback loop for a lot of people this is why

00:47:08.000 this is why blake's right constantly creating this content and they're and just real quick

00:47:12.260 it and it disconnects you from what you are doing in the moment because you are like you are wanting

00:47:19.760 to be you know you're wanting to like film it for people um elsewise right and you see this of

00:47:25.620 course in like the wake of you know horrific tragedies or events or like car crashes like oh

00:47:29.900 i gotta film this for the gram as opposed to be like oh my gosh can i help someone well this is

00:47:33.920 ultimately why blake's right we're gonna lose to china because uh we are we are producing a culture

00:47:39.460 where everybody wants to be a social media influencer and can i just tell you as somebody

00:47:42.940 who did my darndest to avoid ever being a public person until what happened to charlie and i was

00:47:48.700 sort of like forced to be more public being private was way better yeah and actually like i i've it

00:47:55.700 made me feel bad for you jack because like you know charlie obviously was a very public figure

00:48:00.740 he's not here you've been you've been forced to be a public figure well you you did it to yourself

00:48:05.500 but like you've had to endure it for years and i think it's i got a bug in my throat i think it's

00:48:13.000 unfortunate the downside of it is like really really shockingly awful i will tell you

00:48:18.600 I think the worst thing in modern culture with women on particularly Instagram is this crossover between the the the arch of or the arc, not the arch, the arc of the pick me girl crossing into the main character syndrome.

00:48:37.680 What's the pick me girl?

00:48:40.120 Pick me girls on Instagram are people who are trying to exemplify their superiority over other women.

00:48:48.600 okay so sometimes they're it's deprecating of other women they're are they like the mean girls

00:48:55.760 yeah it's kind of like mean girl syndrome no it's like it's like i'm not like i'm not like

00:49:00.400 other girls i'm like one of the guys they're fishing for comments they're trying to you know

00:49:04.960 get clout with the guys yeah oh is it is it is it male geared i've yeah it's like those other

00:49:13.680 girls are hussies those are thoughts those are whatever like i'm not i'm cool i'm not like

00:49:18.560 them okay okay yeah it's funny there was like a whole conspiracy theory that uh i deleted my

00:49:23.960 instagram because it was like it had all this like stuff on it that was really important public

00:49:29.260 knowledge it was literally just pictures of my kids so my wife took my phone and like i haven't

00:49:34.340 been on instagram in like a long time people send me instagram it was it was it was just this weird

00:49:38.840 account i found like andrew colvette too and it's just weird pictures of you like i think it's ai i

00:49:43.040 don't know if it's real but it's just andrew and speedos like no is it is it my uh it's actually

00:49:48.280 it's actually andrew singing on stage uh and uh is it is it can you steal my heart you saw it too

00:49:56.860 yeah that's what it is oh no that's pretty funny i had to say literally that's what the hut looked

00:50:04.800 like i went inside andrew andrew colvey goes into messiah territory comes out the can you steal my

00:50:14.040 heart but i don't know the best part is is i did i did just tell grok give it a punny african title

00:50:20.780 and it went with that that's pretty good that's it's pretty good these things are overtaking us

00:50:25.200 they're coming up with bad puns for romance my heart actually that's like what the hut looked

00:50:29.820 like and it was filled with flies that's what they don't show you in that romance romance novel

00:50:33.980 absolute filled with flies you bring up a great point about the public uh you know we all kind

00:50:39.480 of have this public persona but it's like people ask me all the time like what is your like off

00:50:44.800 ramp from politics and what you're doing and i'm like my dream is like the day that i can delete

00:50:50.780 all social media right i i mean and i'm i don't mind saying this in the air like i really have

00:50:55.520 to do it to raise the money right like to have a pro to get the people to apply for door knocking

00:51:00.180 sure but like really the public perception is well all these other groups are doing this like it's

00:51:05.000 about you know being able to reach donors and having a presence out there and commenting but

00:51:10.000 like the day i'm done like phone in the trash i'm off all social media yeah man i i genuinely think

00:51:17.280 that it if if i could be king of the world for one day and they and i could just destroy social

00:51:24.180 media like that's what i would do yeah my one of my dream laws it would be like legitimately the

00:51:28.700 best thing they could ever like i i have to i frankly i wasn't even on twitter until last fall

00:51:34.840 and then i know you're like i had you ordered me onto it you said i was like you've got to go on

00:51:40.300 you've got it you've got to start an x account i'm like okay fine but i think ideally yes i think

00:51:44.800 a huge number of our social ills are downstream of social media and if i could i think i would

00:51:51.740 I would pass the law and say, yeah, we're abolishing Instagram or we're at least restricting it.

00:51:56.360 One of my hot takes is Instagram is bad for women in the same way that hardcore pornography is bad

00:52:03.680 for men in that it takes a natural drive that a person has that is overall good and it supercharges

00:52:11.400 it in a way that is destructive. So with pornography, like men are supposed to be

00:52:14.160 attracted to women. They're supposed to pursue women. They're supposed to try to have kids with

00:52:16.640 women. Uh, and you're, you're blowing that out with a super stimulus and it's messing with your

00:52:20.500 head got to uh got to dip guys jack thanks we love you enjoy your head what hit are you doing

00:52:25.240 thank you uh rob schmidt on uh on uh newsmax have fun check it out instagram instagram though

00:52:32.640 same thing that it women are women as we've said they're norm enforcers they are naturally going

00:52:39.300 to care about what other people are doing and think of them they're the they're the glue that

00:52:43.840 holds a community together and we're super stimulating that we're showing them too much

00:52:48.840 of what's going on for too many people and it's making them feel massively inadequate when that

00:52:55.620 would not be the case if they were in a normal community with normal people of their normal

00:52:59.800 social circle well and and by the way the the uh cure to this is community and namely church

00:53:06.520 course yes it was like jonathan height had this clip and i want to pull it again but

00:53:10.480 he was asked the question like who raises better kids right wingers or left wingers and he was he

00:53:16.480 was like he said not even close not even not even it's not even like statistically close i'm not even

00:53:20.720 gonna try and throw a bone to the left the right the kids on the right are completely more well

00:53:25.600 adjusted and he specifically brought up social media that they're more likely not to get washed

00:53:29.740 out to see is i think the way he put it because right-wingers tend to go to church they have based

00:53:35.200 in communities based in family communities and they're just it's way more stable so women that

00:53:41.420 have families that kids that like are have like a stable husband that uh i think they are going to

00:53:48.840 endure the onslaught of social media much much more in a healthy way than yeah he calls it he

00:53:54.860 calls it the happiness gap right the happiness gap is because the right wingers will keep their

00:53:59.200 kids off the phone yeah i mean we we're we're talking about strategies right now because my

00:54:03.260 kids are little but we're you know we want to be able to get a hold of them for safety but they

00:54:06.800 they make all these phones that don't have the the smartphone stuff on it really steve jobs

00:54:12.660 ruined everything it's insane how much phones mess with you i think one of the craziest ones

00:54:17.460 to me is there's some study that having a phone in the room you're not on it but there's just a

00:54:24.860 phone in the room damages your ability to do focused work and on things you don't even it's

00:54:32.300 It's not even because you grab the phone and it distracts you.

00:54:35.760 Just you're thinking about the phone and what's on it.

00:54:38.060 You have to literally take the phone, remove it from the room.

00:54:41.020 So I'm actually doing a big camping trip with my kids

00:54:43.960 where the whole thing is digital detox.

00:54:47.860 Where are you going?

00:54:49.220 I'm not going to say privacy, but it's a really fun outdoor.

00:54:53.280 Out of state?

00:54:54.080 Yeah, out of state.

00:54:55.080 So we're going for four days, and we're digital detox.

00:54:59.400 Western or Eastern United States?

00:55:00.700 Western United States, of course.

00:55:02.500 Northwestern or Southwestern?

00:55:03.720 So the point is, they put your phone in a box for four days,

00:55:07.320 and if there's an emergency with your family or whatever,

00:55:09.800 they have a satellite phone.

00:55:11.500 That's the only way.

00:55:12.220 Oh, this is set up where you're going.

00:55:14.080 Yeah, it's set up.

00:55:14.840 A guy invited me to it, and I was like, this sounds rad.

00:55:17.720 So it's a bunch of dads with their kids.

00:55:19.520 That's cool.

00:55:20.040 Yeah, it's going to be fun.

00:55:20.840 But it's four days without a phone.

00:55:23.460 And I was like, you know what?

00:55:24.520 I freaking need this.

00:55:26.860 Zuzu's Petals has chimed in.

00:55:28.080 Again, thank you, Zuzu.

00:55:29.180 She says, Instagram is for people too illiterate

00:55:31.140 to read real news on X.

00:55:32.420 I am going to critique that a little bit, Zuzu.

00:55:35.220 Obviously, all of us are on X.

00:55:37.500 We get a lot of news on X.

00:55:38.580 We read takes on X.

00:55:40.080 But I would say you should not use X

00:55:43.700 as your exclusive news source

00:55:46.680 or maybe even your primary news source

00:55:48.700 because that's part of it is,

00:55:50.800 part of the rod of X is you're getting,

00:55:53.120 one, a lot of AI fake stuff these days,

00:55:55.060 but also just a lot of very brief hot takes

00:55:59.100 that are not allowing you to fully grasp what's going on,

00:56:02.440 I would encourage everyone,

00:56:03.960 if you want to be an informed person,

00:56:06.460 you should have normal news sites that you read

00:56:09.080 and you read full articles on them.

00:56:12.020 And you should find a sub stack on a topic

00:56:14.560 that you like in the real world.

00:56:16.480 So it can be finance if you're in business.

00:56:18.460 It can be world news and politics.

00:56:21.520 Just subscribe to Nate Silver or something.

00:56:24.840 Nate Silver's a good one to read.

00:56:25.900 but find the thing that you can learn where that involves reading full long articles because you

00:56:33.100 need to have that ability to digest a long argument about something so i actually had this

00:56:37.640 conversation i had to do an event with uh dr ben carson last week in dc and um i was talking about

00:56:45.020 he's obviously a brain surgeon you know a neuroscientist he said that reading long form

00:56:51.160 is the single most powerful, I guess,

00:56:54.800 contributor to strong neural pathways

00:56:57.280 that you can do or you can engage in.

00:57:01.440 So reading books, reading long articles,

00:57:04.040 so much better for your brain than short form stuff.

00:57:07.120 I even noticed that in short term,

00:57:08.580 like when you're just, you read.

00:57:11.900 When I'm in a high pace of reading,

00:57:14.340 I'm doing a lot of reading each day.

00:57:15.820 I start, it's like your brain is putting together

00:57:17.820 all these connections.

00:57:18.800 I start noticing all this stuff.

00:57:19.880 I notice my vocabulary goes up.

00:57:21.700 I'm detecting new words.

00:57:23.560 Caboose the Bard, if you are going to follow somebody online,

00:57:26.340 Caboose the Bard.

00:57:27.800 The funniest guy on X.

00:57:29.640 He says, I'm the funniest guy on X.

00:57:31.300 It's criminal.

00:57:31.960 He's the guy who does all of the sound intrusions on this.

00:57:35.540 So if you like those, you should follow him.

00:57:37.380 If you don't like those, you should follow him

00:57:39.580 and send him angry messages and say that you don't like him.

00:57:43.400 Caboose the Bard.

00:57:45.060 There it is.

00:57:46.280 Yes, Caboose the Bard.

00:57:47.300 i guess all the better i guess all the better dnd classes were taken he couldn't be caboose the

00:57:51.460 paladin or caboose the mage caboose the bard caboose the sorry i had to make that nerd joke

00:57:56.900 we're gonna have to find out about that too reading out loud too for kids yeah man i i read

00:58:02.380 out loud to my kids every night and it's really good uh but i do agree that the iq on x is higher

00:58:08.140 than the iq on other platforms i mean just if you had to take it obviously there's retards on x as

00:58:13.600 well but like the full-on uh overall median iq is hider retard alert do you have to use the

00:58:22.520 hangover pronunciation of retard is that where i got it from this is like you know i want to i

00:58:27.780 want to come back it's like how charlie would always say it nazi when talking about nazis he

00:58:31.480 would say nazis every time without exception and i i kind of went do you think that was then and

00:58:36.320 then jen saki he would say jen pasaki yeah because he was a retard that's how alan says it so no but

00:58:43.200 he said Nazi because of

00:58:44.920 Inglourious Bastards of course. That's why he said it

00:58:47.160 because he would do that

00:58:48.640 not just in flippant

00:58:51.280 references. He would do that when

00:58:52.540 100% earnestly talking about

00:58:55.280 World War II or America's

00:58:57.520 achievements in World War II. Things like that

00:58:59.140 where you'd think there'd be a little

00:59:00.820 different way but that was his way of doing that.

00:59:02.940 It was a funny tick of his. Yeah it was.

00:59:05.280 Are we done? If we want

00:59:07.100 or we can keep going. What do the Nazis think?

00:59:10.380 We could talk about

00:59:11.240 the other part about how there's no teen moms

00:59:13.140 and they're all over 40.

00:59:13.940 Oh, let's talk about that.

00:59:15.040 Yeah, this is great.

00:59:15.960 We have the graphic, right, guys?

00:59:19.180 Is that Russ Spacey?

00:59:22.340 Where's the graphic?

00:59:23.140 Throw the graphic up.

00:59:23.900 I want to read the headline about the 40-year-old moms.

00:59:26.640 This is a wild new stat.

00:59:28.540 So I'm trying to find it.

00:59:31.020 There it goes.

00:59:31.420 More babies born to women over 40 than teens

00:59:34.100 for the first time in U.S. history.

00:59:35.800 Birth rates in women over 40 have jumped 193%

00:59:39.780 since 1990, CDC reports.

00:59:42.240 that's wild but i will tell you that like so we had our first uh kid when we were living in los

00:59:48.480 angeles and the nurses were like you know my wife was in her 20s so they were they were like

00:59:54.720 you know wow this is like amazing this is going to be no no no uh no issues here because they

01:00:00.940 were so used to in la having most of the moms be like close to 40 in their 40s i have a theory for

01:00:07.400 this and i sent it to the group too was that teen alcoholism is way down so you think they're

01:00:14.000 totally linked i i sent it over to the group yeah i don't know if they're all smoking weed

01:00:19.380 which i guess probably is not we doesn't get you laid yeah that that 11 year olds yeah they they i

01:00:25.380 mean i think it's part of it is that alcoholism is like way down and to the point but kids aren't

01:00:31.660 hanging out yeah they're not they don't hang out they don't but it's all it's the same they don't

01:00:35.040 like each other it's all together like they're not dating they're not hanging out they don't

01:00:39.060 have inside jokes they're not drinking which is a good thing which is i mean it's like that's a

01:00:43.800 good part of it but it is it is good that teenagers are married teenagers aren't having

01:00:48.700 kids other than we don't like it if they abort their kids of course but uh it is it is still

01:00:54.900 interesting because yeah we have the medical science to have your kids in your 30s and 40s

01:01:01.100 But I think a very real fact that people have not been honestly informed about is just how much harder it is to have kids when you're in your 30s, especially if you haven't had kids before.

01:01:14.960 This is a thing that's a true fact.

01:01:16.820 If you have a kid when you're 22, that by itself makes it easier for you to get pregnant again when you're 32.

01:01:23.920 It just your body becomes better at it.

01:01:26.520 It's a real thing.

01:01:27.660 Well, there was a, you know, that guy Zuby on X or whatever.

01:01:31.100 He put out this tweet a couple years back now.

01:01:34.600 Maybe it was even like five years back.

01:01:36.200 And he said, do you wish you would have had more kids

01:01:38.040 or were you happy with the number you had?

01:01:40.080 This thing went so viral.

01:01:42.580 Like, so viral.

01:01:43.720 I mean, it was like 12, 16 million engagements by the time.

01:01:47.160 And everybody chiming into the chat was, I wish I would have had more.

01:01:51.860 Or I had four or five and it's just right.

01:01:54.340 So the people that had a lot of kids were happy.

01:01:57.600 But then the vast majority, I got started too late.

01:02:01.100 and one person left this comment that i'll just never forget and it was basically like to your

01:02:06.540 point it was like you know when you get to a certain point in your life you look back at your

01:02:10.380 early 20s mid-20s and you realize you had this strong healthy body that you just wasted on

01:02:14.560 partying and getting drunk and not i guess to your point maybe they're not so much but like

01:02:19.700 that was the reflection of this person that was in their 40s that had like two kids wishes they

01:02:24.300 would have had more but struggled to get pregnant and they basically said it's crazy you had the

01:02:29.100 strong healthy like you know fertile body and you just you wasted all of these years doing these

01:02:36.640 things that you you don't even remember now or you don't even value looking back on so i i'm a

01:02:42.020 big believer that if you have that nagging feeling in the back of your mind like should i have more

01:02:45.900 kids like the answer is yes do you think abortion or you know access to protection i mean does that

01:02:53.720 impact us at all is that how we get to that stat yeah for sure i think uh i think like especially

01:02:59.580 teenage and college age like call it everyone that's been on call on a college campus knows

01:03:07.740 that they're like they're just like throwing condoms around like they're like that was like

01:03:12.120 a big push for the last 20 years so that's definitely had an impact for sure i think

01:03:16.600 abortion for sure it's up 16 last year compared to 2020 abortion yeah in the u.s yeah yeah that

01:03:24.920 it became a lot more common after dobbs unfortunately the uh you know left-wing

01:03:29.360 states really went and supercharged their availability yeah well and the the tech

01:03:34.220 companies were like we're gonna help finance your trip to california to get you your abortion

01:03:38.720 really sick stuff uh faz has some good takes here he says 40s is when the wannabe girl boss plays

01:03:44.960 her final trump card and retires to motherhood it's a tap out disguised as a win for liberals

01:03:49.960 the fact that it's uh that it's hard adds to the victimhood sorry foz if i shouldn't have

01:03:55.840 attributed that to you uh but it but it's kind of true like you know like there is like a i think a

01:04:01.140 the boss babe journey like the arc of the boss babe right where they get to that later stage

01:04:07.600 and and they kind of like either have to settle or they finally find the guy that they're willing

01:04:11.380 to have kids with and then they and then that's when they kind of come to grips with the fact

01:04:16.040 there's no more time on the clock i gotta go now so i think that's what's driving it is a lot of

01:04:20.480 this like you know you know the clock's ticking down they got to take their final shot or not or

01:04:26.320 or else i think that's driving a lot of it but they're to your point a lot of them need a lot

01:04:31.220 of fertility help yep a lot of doctor help a lot of nutrition a lot of ivf it's very it's dark

01:04:38.640 there's a darkly funny aspect of this which is one of the biggest reasons people give for not

01:04:43.160 having kids earlier is they need to be more financially established to do it and then when

01:04:48.640 you go through this fertility stuff in your late 30s or 40s you can easily spend a six-figure sum

01:04:53.720 trying to get pregnant if the cycles fail over and over that stuff gets expensive

01:04:57.900 i totally agree um i was thinking about this oh yeah this one play this clip this is a good one

01:05:04.620 from rachel wilson i'm still trying to get her on the show she's great um but she kind of gives

01:05:10.180 a little bit of it's kind of like it's talking around some of these issues that we're talking

01:05:14.280 about the how unhappy moms are how unhappy women are in general and yeah loaded at 29 okay great

01:05:21.160 go ahead and play women just overall reporting dissatisfaction unhappiness a feeling of uh being

01:05:28.660 really torn trying to have it all trying to have a career and be a career woman and also have a

01:05:34.600 family and do all of that. Women don't know what to do with relationships because on the one hand,

01:05:40.680 they want men who make more than they do. They want men who are higher achieving than they are.

01:05:46.240 Yet this creates a paradox, whereas women have become the number one earners of college degrees.

01:05:52.480 They have now got salaries that compete with men and they've got more equality than ever before.

01:05:58.480 Or they're finding that the men are not suitable to marry.

01:06:02.680 They're finding that, you know, they just can't find a guy who's on their level or higher, which is what they really want.

01:06:09.880 Which is, of course, been your experience as well.

01:06:13.560 Just kidding.

01:06:17.300 No, but this talks about the paradox, right?

01:06:19.360 Because women are getting all these degrees.

01:06:21.180 They're trying to do it all.

01:06:22.380 And then they get to the point where they're 40 and they're like, OK, I think a lot of them settle.

01:06:27.540 if i'm just being honest like they settle for the guy they can get at 40 because they realize

01:06:31.340 there's you know all of a sudden your math changes when you get to 40 charlie used to talk about this

01:06:35.900 all the time especially as like uh you know women like a lot of the good ones are gone by the time

01:06:41.900 30 rolls around if you're a woman and you're trying to get a mate right a good man like a lot

01:06:47.080 of them tend to get married and or like you know are no longer in the dating pool at that point

01:06:51.560 so i'm a big fan of starting early i don't think you should rush it's not what i'm saying don't

01:06:56.840 don't pick the wrong guy make sure you've sussed him out make sure you go through premarital

01:07:00.280 counseling i'll do all the things but man i i think i think if you're at 30 and you're just

01:07:07.940 starting to think about it i do believe that that's like the wrong strategy the wrong approach

01:07:12.780 if you know in your life you want to get married and have kids i think earlier is better yeah

01:07:16.780 right cliff yes sir yes sir so hold on just real quick the stat was i know we jumped around the

01:07:24.580 stat was that people in their 40s are having more kids than teens yes for the first time ever that's

01:07:29.260 wild yeah but i mean but and and definitely i i bet well i don't know i don't know this

01:07:36.520 but there's probably fewer people now as a percentage that are having babies in their 40s

01:07:41.460 and that's how low the birth rate is for teens well more more i think the number of births in

01:07:47.520 40s is going up it's gone up 193 or something no it's still not a very high total compared to

01:07:53.440 20s 30s that's why our birth rate is low yeah it is somewhat marginally propped up by a few of

01:07:58.860 these people i bet i bet it's because the mormons are having fewer kids as teenagers too

01:08:02.520 mormon birth rates no it's mormons it's catholics it's it's orthodox yeah religious like so

01:08:11.820 hardcore christians uh catholics young catholics like most of most of my friends i would say and

01:08:19.880 people that are a little bit younger than me that are like i guess i grew up basically just around

01:08:24.240 exclusively catholics and mormons most went one of two directions one they either immediately came

01:08:30.260 out of high school and had a bunch of kids or they waited until they're like right now like i

01:08:36.380 know a bunch of people who are like in their late 30s early 40s who are just like barely starting

01:08:40.600 their family i now all of them and by the way now all of them are pretty conservative yeah well

01:08:46.760 millennials are getting more and more conservative i i think that we should like at some point devote

01:08:50.860 like a show about the absolute psyop that millennials endured in this country because

01:08:56.520 like it's crazy the expectations we had in life and like what we were told was good like how many

01:09:02.380 millennials were told don't have kids you know stuff even from people who are reasonably conservative

01:09:08.400 i think about sorry uh mom and dad i know you listen to this show so i'm gonna criticize you

01:09:12.520 a little bit here, but, uh, one of my sisters, she's, uh, she's a dentist and my dad was lobbying

01:09:19.580 her hard to go spend more time in school and become an oral surgeon, which is go, go to school

01:09:25.080 another four years. You can make more money, do all these things, but it is four more years of

01:09:30.400 school. And what my sister's opinion on this was, was okay, but then I won't be done with school

01:09:37.120 until I'm in my thirties. And she'd gotten married by this point. She's like, I want to have kids.

01:09:42.520 yeah and she has three kids now and i'm not sure how enthusiastic she is about actually being a

01:09:48.020 dentist but well by the way that happens a lot with moms when they have their first kid and they

01:09:52.620 a lot of them just don't come back to the workforce i told daisy when she had her her daughter i was

01:09:57.080 like i'm not sure you're coming back like but she's like adamant she we've worked out she's got

01:10:01.960 a i mean good good situation here that where she can but it's a real thing in that parents even

01:10:06.940 conservative parents they like they worry about their certainly their daughters being able to

01:10:11.300 support themselves being having independence this is a real thing but they do end up encouraging

01:10:16.720 them down a life path where they're a lot less likely to have as many kids as their mom did or

01:10:23.200 as early as their mom did and then you got the hispanics that like are you live in like four

01:10:27.320 families to an apartment building and they all have four kids and it's you know if you if your

01:10:32.480 goal is to have kids the point is like money yeah it's a concern but it shouldn't be your primary

01:10:37.180 concern. I'm a big believer that when you have

01:10:39.320 kids, God brings the provision.

01:10:41.520 So I totally believe

01:10:43.320 that. If you're devoted to it,

01:10:45.160 and you're serious about being

01:10:47.040 a good parent and a providing

01:10:49.240 parent, God will bring the provision. I believe

01:10:51.380 that. Alright guys, it's

01:10:53.320 been a great show. I've had a good time.

01:10:55.860 And Cliff, do you want

01:10:57.160 final words to Cliff Maloney?

01:11:14.140 No, it wasn't a coloring book.

01:11:15.520 It was.

01:11:16.140 So Cliff has a new book that's out.

01:11:18.160 Oh, he made a coloring book?

01:11:19.840 Yes.

01:11:20.820 It's great.

01:11:24.360 So I actually, over at the office, I'll bring you,

01:11:26.420 because Cliff was nice enough to send me a couple boxes of them.

01:11:32.600 Run Right.

01:11:33.060 Run Right Book.com.

01:11:34.660 Great forward by the wonderful Tyler Boyer.

01:11:37.080 tell a lot of stories.

01:11:38.640 Pretty much it was just the curriculum

01:11:39.820 from our candidate academies

01:11:41.880 with Joshua Lysick's assistance,

01:11:46.500 our favorite co-author.

01:11:47.340 Oh, this isn't a coloring book.

01:11:48.880 You lied to me.

01:11:49.860 This is a normal book.

01:11:50.880 Throw it up, throw it up.

01:11:51.760 A lot of fun stuff from 2024

01:11:53.360 and then talking through the basics of,

01:11:57.380 I mean, most of it's honestly

01:11:58.260 people want to run for state house

01:11:59.400 because that's kind of where we focus.

01:12:01.320 But, you know, if you're an activist

01:12:02.700 or if somebody wants to run,

01:12:03.840 we say if you want to run,

01:12:04.780 you want to win,

01:12:05.340 you want to stay principled.

01:12:06.180 that's the point of the book good yeah i use a lot of the learnings from turning point action

01:12:10.960 what you guys of course citizen alliance in um in pa and else other way other places there's not a

01:12:17.000 lot of books out there that actually give you insight into what to do and how to win and again

01:12:23.080 most i mean look most republican party apparatus uh scenarios in most states are pretty bad right

01:12:30.380 so you don't get any help whatsoever from those guys because if you're conservative they they

01:12:34.580 basically attack you try to take you out uh most people don't help on the fundamentals when it

01:12:40.420 comes to this and cliff is one of the the very few phds that we have within the conservative

01:12:45.300 movement you got a phd in running and in singing not running running for office running right

01:12:51.540 i gotta work on my push-ups i was glad you didn't turn to me and say hey you're getting in the

01:12:55.220 challenge uh wait so is poso coming back for a sign off no let's just do it i think we're all

01:13:00.260 Right. All right. We're good. All right, guys. This was a fun thought crime. Thought crime Thursday. Until next Thursday, keep committing more thought crime.

01:13:09.800 Thought crime is death.
