Libby Emmons of the Post Millennial joins me to break down these exit polls from 2022 and continue our discussion from yesterday. Why are unmarried millennial women embracing big government? Why do they think the government should be your spouse?
00:00:27.420Take your phone, go to AmFest.com, promo code POSO, secure your tickets, make sure you get them as fast as possible because they are selling like hotcakes.
00:00:37.180And we are very soon to be announcing that a certain new governor from Arizona may actually be there.
00:01:28.280And I believe the welfare state has incentivized women to marry the government and incentivized men to abandon their financial and moral responsibility.
00:01:35.220All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition, Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:01:39.700Today is November 10th, 2022, Anno Domine.
00:01:43.080I'm joined today by Limmy Emmons, the editor-in-chief of the Post Millennial.
00:01:47.960And we are going to talk about this issue.
00:01:50.100We got into it yesterday with Tyler Boyer.
00:01:51.940You just heard Larry Elder talking about it.
00:01:54.260But the numbers that we are seeing in these exit polls saying that conservatives were absolutely slaughtered in a lot of these races by single-slash-unmarried women.
00:02:08.060We're also seeing in the demographics that millennial voters are now the largest voting block, that millennials have actually surpassed baby boomers.
00:02:18.580And because Gen X was a small generation to begin with, that it looks like millennials are now the largest voting block.
00:02:25.440So Libby Emmons, I got to ask you, unmarried millennial voters, millennial female voters, unmarried millennial female voters, they go for the liberal candidate something like 38 points over conservatives.
00:02:45.580I think this is a really fascinating trend, and I think that it tracks back quite a few decades when women were sold a false promise that if they leaned into career, if they pursued their own, you know, self-determination and their own inner passion and followed their bliss and all of this, they would be really happy.
00:03:07.120And it turns out that that's not actually true, but they believe it anyway, and they're going to end up unhappy and bitter.
00:03:13.640I think our culture has done women and young men as well a complete and total disservice in telling them that there's no reason at all to prioritize love, that we should not prioritize family, that we should not prioritize fulfillment through raising the next generation.
00:03:32.640It's dangerous for children, and it's dangerous for our culture.
00:03:35.080Well, so if that's the case, and those are the trend lines that we see going forward, why does that translate into support for big government policies like Larry Elder was just talking about?
00:03:47.340He said essentially the government is stepping in as the spouse.
00:03:53.860We saw that back with Obama, too, when he had advertising show for his health insurance, his health plan, showing a woman going through life, raising a child, having a job with absolutely no partnership at all.
00:04:06.320Her only partner was the federal government.
00:04:09.060We saw this with messaging from the Biden administration as well.
00:04:12.440The federal government is there to be your spouse.
00:04:16.800It's there to provide for you and do all of these things for you, but it's not there for your heart, not there for your soul, and it's not going to give you any joy or happiness or fulfillment.
00:04:26.560And also, what we've said to women is that they need to lean into career so hard to the exclusion of everything else.
00:04:32.880They need to be cogs in this capitalist machine, and that's part of the lie.
00:04:36.660You have liberals out there saying that if you lean into your career, you will be happy, and that we should eschew capitalism in favor of these big government policies and all of this.
00:04:48.040But what we see is that it's not actually working for women, and it's not actually working for our society either.
00:04:54.520They've been convinced of this, but if you actually dig beneath the surface, it's a total contradiction.
00:04:59.220It's a lie, and it's going to hurt women, and it's going to hurt our society.
00:05:04.080Well, Libby, and you and I were on TimCast, I remember, several moons ago with my own mom, and she was talking about the fact that she raised two boys, had a career, had a marriage, is still in that marriage, right?
00:05:20.240You just have to make compromises in order to have everything.
00:05:24.320And that's something that this lie, whether it's the girl boss-ism, this girl power-ism, the sex in the city lie that Alex Clark and I did an episode in this about a year ago talking about, that you can actually have both.
00:05:38.960But at the same time, you have to be cognizant of the fact that if you are going to make time for your family, this is for men too, by the way, obviously, that if you're going to make time to raise your family,
00:05:49.200then that is going to be time that you have to spend away from your career, spend time away from your – look, I don't spend time with my kids.
00:06:05.820And I guarantee you, you will be far more fulfilled in life than through anything else you do.
00:06:12.380Because there's no one I've ever heard of – and Libby, you know, correct me if you've heard of one – I've never heard of anyone who's lying on their deathbed looking up at their family and saying, you know, I wish I had spent more time at the office.
00:06:28.840And we see in our pop culture, we see in Disney films and all kinds of other areas this neglect of our personal soul, this neglect of actual personal fulfillment and partnership.
00:06:40.560And I think we need to remind people and we need to tell young people that it is okay to prioritize love, to prioritize partnership, and to prioritize family, even if that means you're not pursuing some high-powered career.
00:06:55.460These high-powered careers, they end you up on top of a mountain of wealth with absolutely no joy or satisfaction.
00:07:01.940Well, I'll even throw out – because it was the founder of the Sex and the City who came out and admitted – she admitted that she regretted not having children of her own and raising children.
00:07:16.640But I will also shout – just a shout-out note, they're not a sponsor or anything like that.
00:07:21.640But, Libby, what you just described is literally the plot of every single Hallmark movie.
00:07:26.840Every one – she leaves the big city, she's at the law firm, or she's like an event planner, she goes back home, or she goes to visit – her uncle passes away, and she inherits the restaurant in Aspen or whatever.
00:07:42.140And then she meets a guy and realizes maybe she doesn't need that big city go-go life.
00:09:11.280The same people that are telling you things that are factually inaccurate or that are getting fact-checked on Twitter would be the very people that would get to dictate what is mal-information.
00:10:10.420The DHS censorship agency had a strange first mission, banning speech that casts doubt on the, quote, Red Mirage, Blue Shift election events.
00:10:22.200And so, we're going through and we found that this network throttled millions of posts ahead of the 2020 election, blocking, quote, emerging narratives from reaching virality threshold.
00:10:37.660Censors boast on video of getting tech companies to ban entire categories of free speech regarding the 2020 election under the threat of huge regulatory pressure.
00:10:49.860Months before the 2020 election, censors systematically targeted all speech categories that could challenge a future, quote, Red Mirage, Blue Shift election scenario.
00:11:00.900So, the Red Mirage was this idea that it would look like the conservative candidate for President Trump would win early in the night and that it would shift as the mail-in ballots, this vote by mail, were counted later on during the evening and then into the next day.
00:11:16.980And then it would show that, obviously, the liberal candidate Biden would win.
00:11:20.960They challenged anyone, they censored anyone who challenged that narrative specifically.
00:11:30.660And now, yours truly, as usual, is right at the top of the list.
00:11:51.640I've taken stock of myself and my Twitter account now that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter, and I've taken a long, hard look at this, and I have decided to make my tweets far, far worse.
00:12:05.500So, yes, I will be number one the next time this comes around.
00:12:08.800But Libby Emmons, what can we learn from this?
00:12:11.560What can we learn from this report that specifically this narrative was targeted, but also that of all the people targeted, let me just see all the way down the list, 100% of them are on the right.
00:12:45.460And I think what it shows is that these censors feel that they are entitled to censor us and to censor our ideas because they believe that their biases are not biases but are the truth.
00:12:56.360They are so secure in that knowledge that they take the biases and prejudices that they have and they push them out there as though this is what is actually reality.
00:13:12.840They are looking to push their own narrative out onto the rest of the public.
00:13:19.780Also, I think it's amazing because we all kind of felt that this was true.
00:13:24.280We didn't necessarily know it for sure, but it really did feel that way, that particularly conservative ideas were being targeted and suppressed and censored.
00:13:33.800And this shows fully that they were, in fact, doing that.
00:13:37.020By the way, I'll look at some of the other topics.
00:13:39.320Ballot counting, boxes drop off, generic fraud, in-person voting, paper ballot, vote by mail, voting machines.
00:13:48.180Every single one of those terms, just a solid naked term by itself, was targeted for censorship.
00:14:18.460Then it moves to the Election Integrity Partnership.
00:14:21.780The Election Integrity Partnership, by the way, which is targeting Tyler Boyer right now, which is targeting me right now,
00:14:28.060for stuff that we've said that's actually happening in Maricopa County, Arizona, and Clark County, Nevada.
00:14:33.760We've reported things that are accurate or made comments that are absolutely accurate.
00:14:37.480And they've targeted us for spreading, quote, unquote, misinformation when Tyler was merely talking about something that happened to him at the polls.
00:14:44.480So this group, EIP, then goes to the tech companies and says, well, we have determined or we are in agreement with the federal government that these terms, these narratives either must be suppressed or must be amplified or cannot allowed to be questioned.
00:15:06.560So you weren't allowed to question the Red Mirage.
00:15:09.060You are not allowed to be critical of the Red Mirage.
00:15:11.500You are not allowed to present a competing hypothesis.
00:15:28.540And I thought it was really fascinating to see all of this come together because we've reported on separate segments of this for a while now.
00:15:36.040And the other thing that was really interesting is that all of these mechanisms the federal government initially created to deal with foreign misinformation, as they call it.
00:16:04.700And they were saying, censor people's personal experiences as regards their experiences with vaccines, as regards their experiences contracting the illness and all of this.
00:16:14.540It was personal people's personal people's posts, just their information, sharing with friends and family on Facebook and other platforms, censored and suppressed.
00:16:24.140And then this is exactly what they used for the disinformation governance board.
00:16:27.480They said it was meant to suppress misinformation overseas.
00:16:31.080And then they said, no, it's not being used on the American people.
00:19:03.100Libby, Elon Musk has detailed that he wants to make Twitter the everything app.
00:19:08.400And he doubled down on this yesterday in the Twitter space that he was holding, talking about.
00:19:13.700So he's made, obviously, he's opened up verification.
00:19:16.200He's done away with this whole, like, official account label that he was putting on things.
00:19:21.240But he's also pointed out that he wants, eventually, Twitter to become something that, number one, includes payment processing, which brings Elon full circle because he started, of course, with PayPal.
00:19:30.520But he also said, look, this should be a way for people to find news.
00:19:33.900You could hail cabs, get your cars on this thing.
00:19:36.480You could order food through this thing.
00:19:38.220He's really looking at ways that Twitter could expand in multiple directions and, by the way, seamlessly integrate with video in a way that Twitter heretofore has not been able to do.
00:19:50.020What do you think, Libby, about where we stand at the Twitter takeover of Elon Musk?
00:19:54.480Yeah, I think that he's being pretty smart about this.
00:20:20.220That would be an unprecedented, open exchange of ideas across the globe.
00:20:25.880And I wonder what we could come up with.
00:20:28.140But it also kind of reminds me of the Tower of Babel story from the Bible.
00:20:33.380Well, how high are we going to go before everything goes, you know, falling back down to earth and we go back to speaking our different languages and can't figure out what's going on anywhere?
00:20:45.220So, I mean, I think it has the potential to be pretty spectacular.
00:20:48.420And it also, as with things that do have that potential, has the potential to be a total disaster.
00:21:08.160But I'm just seeing blue checkmarks appear all over the place right now.
00:21:12.180And the funny thing is that the libs are freaked out about it.
00:21:15.080And by the way, because of the rules of verification, because verification now just means I pay for Twitter.
00:21:21.960So you can see parody accounts are exploding on the platform.
00:21:26.480I'm seeing stuff I can't say on there, but stuff making fun of Bill Clinton, stuff making fun of George.
00:21:32.000There's a George W. Bush HQ that's talking about how we need to invade Iraq again and just like all sorts of craziness that's going on out there.
