00:00:00.000 So this was on the culture war from like a year ago.
00:00:03.160 This was the guy that came on and said that his son was transitioned against his will.
00:00:09.060 Because of what the legal system is doing.
00:00:11.100 And it seems like the solution should be to change the culture in the legal system.
00:00:14.060 That's correct.
00:00:14.740 So here's, but here's where we get into the sticky area of policy, right?
00:00:18.660 I never speak about social problems in terms of solutions, right?
00:00:23.800 These problems have been with us.
00:00:25.320 Look, infanticide and giving babies away were existing.
00:00:29.680 How do you find, you know how you find Roman brothers, when archaeologists find Roman brothers?
00:00:33.800 The bones of the dead children.
00:00:35.000 The bones of dead boys.
00:00:36.200 Boys, that's right.
00:00:37.180 They find dead, because they kill all the male babies, they're of no economic use.
00:00:40.460 They raise girl children up to be prostitutes in these brothers.
00:00:43.500 So that's how they find them, okay?
00:00:45.660 So like, this is an ancient problem.
00:00:47.560 It's never going away from us.
00:00:48.980 But we should think in terms of mitigating these problems and minimizing them.
00:00:52.700 And that's a better way of thinking about them, I think.
00:00:54.960 So I don't ever talk in terms of solutions.
00:00:57.440 The solution is, I believe, ending no-fault divorce, right?
00:01:01.400 Completely ending no-fault divorce.
00:01:03.480 And I would be even willing to compromise, because we live in a world, a democracy, where
00:01:07.800 we have to compromise.
00:01:08.280 I would compromise and say, you may have no-fault divorce if there are no children in the marriage.
00:01:13.360 If there are children in the marriage, it converts to a no-fault divorce.
00:01:16.520 I like that.
00:01:17.120 And now we have created a way for people to...
00:01:19.660 You mean it converts off of no-fault divorce?
00:01:21.200 Yes.
00:01:21.320 You would have to go to an at-fault model at that point.
00:01:24.040 Yeah, you go to an at-fault model when you have children.
00:01:26.140 Okay.
00:01:26.400 Yeah?
00:01:26.680 Yeah.
00:01:27.080 So I'm willing to compromise with people who want these sort of what I call emotional marriages.
00:01:32.400 You know, I'm willing, okay, fine, let's do that.
00:01:34.820 I think we have to do some other things with, you know, correcting the legal system around
00:01:39.360 domestic violence and some other stuff.
00:01:40.900 There are legal ways to do this.
00:01:42.200 I'm just telling you that you're fighting because of Title IV-D reimbursements to the
00:01:47.100 states, which are heavily invested in divorce and only exist when fathers are out of the
00:01:52.020 home, just like the welfare system destroyed the black families in this country.
00:01:55.940 When these systems are so big, I mean, you're talking about trillions of dollars.
00:01:59.960 These are bigger than some of the largest defense programs.
00:02:01.800 Jeff is the first one that educated me on this reality.
00:02:03.780 Yeah.
00:02:03.880 He really knows this.
00:02:04.680 Yeah.
00:02:04.880 This, they're larger than some of the largest defense programs, and we can't get rid of
00:02:09.280 these defense programs.
00:02:10.160 The Marine Corps and the Army have been trying to get rid of the heavy division concept since
00:02:15.000 the 1980s, when I was in the military, and they can't get rid of it.
00:02:18.140 So my problem is, it's going to take five generations to get to alter these laws.
00:02:23.820 What do we do about men in the meantime?
00:02:25.360 Here's the issue with...
00:02:26.720 Now, we're going to go back to, this is what conservatives will always say.
00:02:31.040 When you say, hey, these laws are pretty bad, you know, 18 years, that's...
00:02:35.400 I mean, I don't know about you guys, but if I get on child support at 30, I don't get
00:02:41.380 off it till 48.
00:02:42.840 That's a pretty terrible...
00:02:43.900 That's pretty terrible.
00:02:45.260 The conservatives will always say, hey, men, take all the responsibility.
00:02:50.940 You get no reward and no freedom.
00:02:53.400 What is that?
00:02:54.000 That's enslavement.
00:02:55.040 They're pushing enslavement.
00:02:57.300 And you know what they say?
00:02:58.180 If the men say, you know what?
00:03:00.060 I'm good.
00:03:01.020 I am not doing that.
00:03:03.040 No, thank you.
00:03:04.500 You know what they say?
00:03:05.300 They say, you're not real men.
00:03:07.780 And then they do an appeal to morality.
00:03:09.980 If you were just real good, moral men, if you were a real man, you would man up and marry
00:03:15.900 these hoes.
00:03:16.600 You would man up and marry these subpar women that are divorcing you after seven years and
00:03:23.280 putting you on child support because, I mean, genetic legacy.
00:03:27.940 Which, by the way, you have no guarantee.
00:03:30.660 I mean, if the birth rate's 1.5 now, what are the odds it's going to go up in 10 years?
00:03:37.820 So your kid, you have a kid now in 20 years when they decide kid or no kid, is the odds
00:03:43.740 that they will have a child or not have a child if it drops to 0.5 like Korea?
00:03:48.440 Okay, so there's no guarantee.
00:03:50.200 Well, but the problem there is...
00:03:51.320 My point is...
00:03:52.100 The testing would have to be...
00:03:53.260 We have seen stories.
00:03:54.160 There was one story, I think it was out of Wisconsin where a woman got pregnant.
00:03:57.080 When she gave birth, she listed some random guy she knew as the father.
00:04:00.480 I think it was Wisconsin.
00:04:01.500 And then the guy was like, what?
00:04:02.880 I'm not the father.
00:04:03.720 Got a genetic test.
00:04:04.660 Proved that he wasn't.
00:04:05.560 And the judge said, don't know, don't care.
00:04:07.180 The baby needs a dad.
00:04:07.980 So you are now on the hook for it.
00:04:09.020 Well, that is not...
00:04:10.280 That's an aberration.
00:04:11.280 Right.
00:04:11.520 Oh, actually, I'm sorry.
00:04:12.960 You need to...
00:04:13.380 Y'all need to look up Carnell West who started the movement against this.
00:04:16.820 But until...
00:04:17.520 I can tell you this in Texas until 2014, all children in the marriage were presumed to be the husbands.
00:04:23.380 And that's actually how it should be.
00:04:24.660 And that's actually...
00:04:26.040 Yeah.
00:04:26.480 So again, this is the woman saying...
00:04:29.080 And I like her.
00:04:29.760 She's been on the show.
00:04:30.640 But she's saying the same thing.
00:04:32.620 Man up, men.
00:04:33.580 You should be on the birth certificate no matter what.
00:04:36.640 Take all the responsibility.
00:04:38.660 What about when the woman has an affair?
00:04:40.360 It's called a presumption of parenthood.
00:04:42.100 What about when she has an affair?
00:04:43.100 Well, so then you can...
00:04:44.440 You need to presume.
00:04:45.960 The presumption is correct.
00:04:47.300 You should presume that the children born...
00:04:49.320 So now she's saying, give us the benefit of the doubt.
00:04:51.800 We deserve the benefit of the doubt.
00:04:54.000 To a marriage are the genetic offspring.
00:04:56.320 If there's a problem, that's the exception.
00:04:58.300 Deal with the exception.
00:04:59.040 I don't think that he should be responsible for a child.
00:05:00.900 But the presumption is correct.
00:05:02.660 The problem is that...
00:05:03.760 Well, we used to do that for almost all of Western law.
00:05:07.560 We presume this.
00:05:08.540 Right.
00:05:08.820 Right?
00:05:09.600 But the issue comes when, you know, what are the conditions under which you can demonstrate
00:05:14.780 that the child isn't yours and be relieved of your obligations?
00:05:17.860 Right?
00:05:19.000 Most states did not have a way to do that until just the last six years.
00:05:24.240 You know, Carnell, for example, I've talked to him at length about this.
00:05:28.160 I mean, he paid child support for 15 years for a child that wasn't his.
00:05:32.160 And they just wouldn't stop, even though he had genetic tests.
00:05:34.520 Wow.
00:05:35.120 Texas never allowed genetic tests until, I think it was 2014.
00:05:38.460 That's too bad.
00:05:39.780 California says that fathers may never genetically test their children without the consent of
00:05:44.620 the mother, so they're allowed to hide it.
00:05:46.300 Yeah.
00:05:46.580 Wow.
00:05:46.780 So, like, I agree that we have got to overhaul the system.
00:05:51.840 So, again, this is how women have a tendency, like the trad feministy women, they have a tendency
00:05:58.180 to say, oh, just change it all tomorrow, where the men come in and say, well, that's not
00:06:04.560 realistic.
00:06:05.140 Because, again, when men get things done, they have to make a plan, they have to follow
00:06:10.620 through.
00:06:12.100 Women have to get men to do it.
00:06:14.200 Not all women.
00:06:15.180 Not all, not all, not all.
00:06:16.420 They have to get men to do it.
00:06:17.900 So that there are advantages financially, socially, for men to commit to the women that they're
00:06:23.420 making babies with.
00:06:24.680 And, yeah, it's good for men and women, but it's non-negotiable for the babies.
00:06:29.560 Like, from a children's rights perspective, we have got to start changing culture, law,
00:06:34.580 and technology so kids have both.
00:06:35.860 It comes, this is where it comes down to, like, I'll be, look, I'm with you.
00:06:38.520 I'll tell you how much I'm with you.
00:06:40.360 Even after my ex-wife tried to transition my son, for five years, I still told her I'd
00:06:46.460 remarry her and raise our kids.
00:06:47.920 I, can we just pause it?
00:06:48.440 Even though I have a total disagreement with her about that.
00:06:50.880 But it's that important.
00:06:51.760 I believe it.
00:06:52.520 Right?
00:06:52.840 Yeah.
00:06:53.640 My point is that, are we going.
00:06:55.280 And see, she keeps trying to interrupt him, right?
00:06:57.860 I mean, this guy's smart.
00:06:59.300 You can tell he knows the law in and out.
00:07:01.620 But it's like, she still wants to go on an emotional tirade.
00:07:06.360 Oh, it should be, it should be, it should be, it should be.
00:07:08.640 And he's like, well, this is what it is, honey.
00:07:10.820 Going to compare what men should do against an ideal that doesn't exist and won't exist
00:07:15.900 for decades?
00:07:17.520 Or what do we tell men in the meantime?
00:07:20.140 Culture, law, and technology don't reflect the ideal.
00:07:23.740 That is true.
00:07:24.420 The answer is not to remake children in your own technological image.
00:07:28.300 That is not the solution.
00:07:29.700 It is, you can go to Argentina, you can marry a woman, just make sure that you raise your
00:07:33.540 kids with the woman that is their mother.
00:07:35.220 Yeah.
00:07:35.480 So again, she's saying, well, okay, so let me get this straight.
00:07:40.140 Now, I'm just going to put myself in a man that really knows what's going on shoes.
00:07:45.380 Now, some men will say, you know what?
00:07:47.200 I want a kid.
00:07:47.980 I want a family.
00:07:48.800 That's what I've always wanted.
00:07:49.760 I will take the risk.
00:07:50.740 I know this is risky, but I'm just going to pick the best woman I can.
00:07:54.800 I'm going to take it anyways.
00:07:55.840 I know this could happen.
00:07:57.560 Fine.
00:07:58.360 But what about a guy that says, you know what?
00:08:00.400 I'm looking at this.
00:08:01.400 I will not do that.
00:08:02.820 I will not be enslaved for 18 years.
00:08:05.960 I will not do it.
00:08:07.780 I refuse, okay?
00:08:09.980 So what are his choices?
00:08:11.880 One of them is a surrogate.
00:08:14.560 Another is getting a woman pregnant in a different country.
00:08:17.960 But what if he doesn't want to live there, but he wants a child?
00:08:21.440 And he says, you know what?
00:08:22.600 I'm going to send money.
00:08:23.940 Now, is that ideal?
00:08:25.200 Would I prefer that as a kid?
00:08:26.740 No.
00:08:27.320 But when you look at men's perspective, what are they supposed to do?
00:08:31.780 And again, instead of saying, understanding where the men are coming from, finger wagging.
00:08:38.200 You're not moral.
00:08:39.460 There's actually a Christian way to actually do surrogacy in a way.
00:08:42.440 No, there's not.
00:08:43.060 So you have legal surrogacy, but you don't actually use somebody else's eggs.
00:08:47.180 So for example, I've checked in three states, and there's nothing that prevents a married
00:08:52.060 woman from entering a surrogacy contract.
00:08:53.620 So you could get married, you have your wife sign a surrogacy contract, and then you have
00:08:59.700 conjugal relations in a biblical way, and then the children belong to the father, and
00:09:03.980 the mother has the legal relation of a stepmother.
00:09:06.640 Interesting.
00:09:07.180 But she's still the biological mother in every way.
00:09:09.220 That's horrifying.
00:09:10.340 Yeah.
00:09:10.840 That's what that is.
00:09:11.320 No, no.
00:09:12.020 Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
00:09:13.840 Why do you find it horrifying?
00:09:15.220 Because-
00:09:15.700 Because every woman I've talked to says this.
00:09:17.520 Because the biological mother, the birth mother, the social mother should all also be the legal
00:09:22.780 mother.
00:09:23.060 You do not splice woman into three different parts, the social, the legal, and the genetic.
00:09:27.860 From a children's rights perspective, all of those women need to be found in one place.
00:09:31.280 And just like it was an injustice to strip you of your rights to your children, even though
00:09:36.000 you're the biological father, it's an injustice to strip children of their mothers.
00:09:40.040 Would you marry under such a condition?
00:09:41.760 Would you marry under those conditions?
00:09:42.780 If a man said, hey, I want you to sign a surrogacy contract so the children are mine in a patriarchal
00:09:47.400 and biblical sense, there belong to me.
00:09:49.680 Would you marry and have a child under those conditions?
00:09:51.640 I married and had a child with a man who 100% gets 100% claim to my children.
00:09:57.020 And I don't need surrogacy to do it.
00:09:58.160 Not legally. You have the claim to the children.
00:09:59.700 No, we both have a claim to the children.
00:10:01.120 If I were to divorce him, there's a possibility the courts would side with me.
00:10:04.260 They probably would.
00:10:04.740 But no, right now-
00:10:05.640 Hold on, Tim.
00:10:06.160 I'm going somewhere with this.
00:10:07.040 Do you think most women would do that?
00:10:08.800 Or I think precisely zero women would sign a surrogacy.
00:10:11.040 I agree.
00:10:11.980 What this tells me is that when we put women in the same conditions that fathers are in
00:10:16.140 today, they choose not to have children and not to marry, which proves my point that under
00:10:19.820 the current conditions, surrogacy is a legitimate option.
00:10:22.840 I was going to say-
00:10:23.520 That is the most mic drop thing I've ever heard.
00:10:27.080 So, one, she's not answering the question.
00:10:30.120 This is what I mean when I say feminist or Christian, like feminist women have a tendency
00:10:35.420 to still be disagreeable.
00:10:37.080 He's asking her a direct question.
00:10:38.800 Would you do it?
00:10:39.700 And then she's trying to divert it.
00:10:42.100 She's saying, well, but my husband does have the right to his kids.
00:10:46.520 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:48.200 Legally, you do.
00:10:49.460 And as soon as she's in the man's shoes, she says, no, that's wrong.
00:10:54.200 We would never sign up for that.
00:10:55.980 But yet, they will still say that men are not real men if they don't want to do it.
00:11:01.900 I say that your statement about legal surrogacy to the biological mother is very logically sound
00:11:08.640 and very emotionally horrifying.
00:11:10.080 Yes, it is.
00:11:11.220 And so imagine how fathers feel when, no offense, but trad women are constantly telling young
00:11:18.380 men to just suck it up, take the risk, and marry when we all admit that precisely zero women
00:11:24.700 would do that under the same conditions.
00:11:26.460 Because the stepmother in this scenario, being a constant caregiver to the child,
00:11:30.940 would have the same visitation rights as fathers have today.
00:11:33.760 They would have continuous visitation, continuous relationship.
00:11:36.240 The courts would respect that.
00:11:37.300 I understand.
00:11:37.960 I understand that.
00:11:38.660 Women won't do it.
00:11:39.420 Why should men?
00:11:39.840 I understand that it's risky, and the deck is stacked against them.
00:11:45.800 I'm not seeing any man who is living a happier, better life than the men who are married stably
00:11:52.280 to the women and the mothers of their children.
00:11:54.020 Yeah, but I agree.
00:11:55.160 And that is...
00:11:55.840 Yeah, if the woman decides to not be a terrorist.
00:12:00.000 I mean, yeah, if, if, that's if, if, if the woman says, you know what, I am not going to
00:12:09.040 make his life a living hell.
00:12:10.260 But you know what, the homeless men that are on drugs because their child support is 80%
00:12:16.560 of their paycheck, and no matter how much money they make, it keeps getting raised, and they're
00:12:21.100 dragged in and out of court for 15 years versus the guy who just never married.
00:12:26.280 I don't know.
00:12:27.180 I, I could, I could see the argument that the guy who never married is happier.
00:12:31.940 Something to strive for and is ideal, but that, like, I think Jeff is correct.
00:12:35.880 The risks are there for men.
00:12:37.460 Right.
00:12:37.980 And we end up seeing this reflected in a lot of online communities.
00:12:41.380 Yeah.
00:12:41.640 A lot, a lot of men are outright saying, I mean, with, with MGTOW.
00:12:44.900 Yes.
00:12:45.160 It's not, MGTOW's not absolutely about any one thing.
00:12:48.060 There's a bunch of different issues.
00:12:48.700 But a lot of these men are saying, the risks are too great.
00:12:52.140 Just, and Jeff makes a great point.
00:12:53.540 Just like a woman would say, I'm not going to enter that agreement.
00:12:56.120 Men literally are saying that.
00:12:57.300 I know.
00:12:57.740 I've read them.
00:12:58.460 I've talked to them.
00:12:59.480 Well, what's disturbing is, you know, you find it horrifying.
00:13:02.280 I find it horrifying.
00:13:03.700 I mean, it's a thought experiment.
00:13:04.900 I'm not something, it's a lot of the stuff I'm talking about, people think I'm proposing.
00:13:08.320 They're thought experiments.
00:13:09.280 Right.
00:13:09.620 It's a thought experiment.
00:13:10.560 Well, and it's effective to point out the problems.
00:13:12.900 Yeah, that's right.
00:13:13.500 Thank you.
00:13:14.060 Yeah.
00:13:15.180 I'm here for you.
00:13:16.160 No, no.
00:13:16.640 It's like, it's very hard.
00:13:17.840 Well, no, women are rightly upset about me even proposing that.
00:13:22.380 But that is the exact position every father is in legally.
00:13:25.840 Not necessarily socially, but legally in the end when they have children with a woman in
00:13:30.700 a normal marriage under this horrifying legal regime.
00:13:34.260 And if women won't, again, I ask, if women won't do it, how can we ethically tell young
00:13:38.760 men to do it?
00:13:39.200 I don't think we can.
00:13:39.960 I want to just say one thing, because I think some people don't understand.
00:13:43.500 Migtown means men going their own way.
00:13:45.500 Yes.
00:13:46.020 Online communities where men talk about, you know, they'll post memes of like a guy sitting
00:13:50.240 on a cliffside with his dog and it'll say something like serenity or whatever.
00:13:53.580 Yeah.
00:13:53.740 But I will also add, you moving to California, sir, is the political equivalent of running
00:13:58.320 into a burning building.
00:13:59.200 You are correct.
00:14:00.400 So we have to talk about getting away from cities and getting away from these jurisdictions
00:14:03.900 if you can.
00:14:04.580 They never think it's going to be them.
00:14:07.080 They have no, like, I can't remember these numbers off the top of my head.
00:14:11.760 But I remember I had someone go through what, if you get divorced, what percent of divorces
00:14:19.500 are malicious?
00:14:20.480 Meaning that she's taking away your, like, she's actively trying to get you to not see
00:14:26.500 your kids.
00:14:26.940 It's like 20%.
00:14:27.780 And then that's just the kids, right?
00:14:30.500 If you include the financial piece to, it's in one of my Google docs, let me pull it up,
00:14:35.540 but it's roughly 30 or 40%.
00:14:38.040 So half of all divorces, at least, because benefit of the doubt, like giving as much
00:14:42.760 benefit of the doubt as possible, half of divorces.
00:14:46.100 The real divorce rate's like 60% roughly.
00:14:48.780 So that's like one in three men.
00:14:50.760 That's how common this is.
00:14:52.180 They never think it's going to be them.
00:14:54.080 Because of their kids.
00:14:55.120 Yeah.
00:14:55.320 Some people may want to stay.
00:14:57.180 These and getting away from these jurisdictions if you can, and that we understand some people
00:15:00.720 may want to stay in these places because of their kids.
00:15:04.700 Yeah.
00:15:04.840 But I will also add, you moving to California, sir, is the political equivalent of running
00:15:09.380 into a burning building.
00:15:10.280 You are correct.
00:15:11.480 So we have to talk about getting away from cities and getting away from these jurisdictions
00:15:14.960 if you can, and that we understand some people may want to stay in these places because of
00:15:20.700 their kids.
00:15:21.380 Yeah.
00:15:21.720 And a lot of people have said, I can't move out of the city.
00:15:23.840 You know, I got divorced.
00:15:24.480 My kids are still, what am I supposed to do?
00:15:25.980 And I'm like, that I view as your house is on fire and you refuse to leave until you know
00:15:30.180 your children are safe.
00:15:30.900 I also want to point out that what Jeff is doing is the essence of true manhood and the
00:15:36.800 best kind of father, the best that fathers can be, which is utter protectiveness and everything
00:15:43.540 you can in terms of provision.
00:15:44.820 It would have saved him more time to just give up because he had the same outcome to
00:15:49.260 court for 12 years to not get custody.
00:15:52.760 Can you blame men for looking at that and saying, yeah, I'm not going to fight in court.
00:15:57.920 Good luck, kids.
00:15:58.720 Sorry.
00:15:59.580 But again, it's the best fathers are enslaved to women.
00:16:03.860 That's what they're communicating.
00:16:05.460 Despite everything being against you.
00:16:07.420 And there really is something distinct.
00:16:09.800 I would say that it is a genetic biological drive that good men have.
00:16:16.120 And every kid, every child should have a father like this.
00:16:19.640 This is the pain men feel.
00:16:20.780 So, you know, feminists have often said men don't participate in child rearing equally.
00:16:25.440 So that's not true. That's not true, but really until the 1950s, nobody was rich enough to do that, right?
00:16:30.580 Throughout all of human history, women raised, young children, in most civilizations, the age of nine.
00:16:37.260 The reputation that the Italians had for being mama's boys because it was till 12, you know, that's where that comes from.
00:16:42.560 They stayed with their mother and then the boys went with the fathers.
00:16:46.660 And so girls and young children stayed with the mothers.
00:16:48.800 Men have always equally participated in child rearing.
00:16:51.820 And what men feel particularly is this horrifying thing where your offspring are going to be raised in values contrary to your ancestors and to your own values.
00:17:05.100 And your children would be turned against your own values.
00:17:09.340 I have a friend in Houston whose wife divorced him and converted his children to Islam.
00:17:14.660 And he's a devout Christian.
00:17:16.360 His children have been turned against his values.
00:17:18.860 You know, this is what men fear tremendously.
00:17:21.660 It's not just physical provision.
00:17:22.900 This is what divorce enables.
00:17:24.420 You know, there was a study done by a researcher named Elizabeth Margaret, who her study was called Between Two Worlds.
00:17:30.100 And it studied the impact that divorce had on children.
00:17:33.480 And in close to 50% of cases, the child developed two different personalities because they had, like, mom had one political persuasion.
00:17:41.840 You know, mom's a Republican.
00:17:42.980 Dad's a Democrat.
00:17:43.920 Mom's a Buddhist.
00:17:44.920 Dad's a Republican or, you know, a Christian.
00:17:47.220 You know, the screen limits over here are, like, one hour a day.
00:17:50.460 There's unlimited screens over here.
00:17:51.780 Dessert like this.
00:17:52.660 Diet like this.
00:17:53.900 You know, cauliflower crossed over here.
00:17:56.540 Yes.
00:17:56.680 And, like, they, kids have to transform to be a different person between dad's house and mom's house.
00:18:01.900 And actually, your situation was almost archetypal where your child had to literally become a different person at mom's house.
00:18:10.020 Now, again, this kind of goes back to what I was told.
00:18:14.660 She's talking about things that don't matter.
00:18:17.300 Now, what I'm not saying is that maybe that's not important.
00:18:20.800 But what matters more, the multi-personality thing or the men killing themselves every year because of family court?
00:18:28.220 What is a bigger issue?
00:18:30.120 So she brings it back to something that doesn't matter.
00:18:33.140 He keeps bringing it back to thing that matters.
00:18:35.800 An environment where parents are just screaming at each other 24-7.
00:18:38.280 Yeah.
00:18:38.860 And so the solution is...
00:18:40.020 But you punish the parents for that, not the kids.
00:18:41.740 That's what I'm saying.
00:18:42.960 You're hired, dude.
00:18:43.780 You're totally hired.
00:18:44.340 Here's an interesting thing about the rights of children, right?
00:18:48.040 We often hear from the modern-day left establishment narratives that children have a right to just insert and you name it.
00:18:56.480 Yeah, to having their transgender identity hidden from their parents.
00:18:59.480 If they have a right to testosterone from Planned Parenthood.
00:19:01.340 But my view is it's more so a right to your parents acting responsibly to protect you.
00:19:08.480 Bingo. That's where I agree.
00:19:09.220 Meaning the child can't decide he wants to eat ice cream.
00:19:11.220 It is a violation of the rights of the child for a parent to just give them three gallons of ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
00:19:17.160 Yes, it is.
00:19:17.820 So here's the thing.
00:19:18.920 I have a children's rights non-profit.
00:19:21.560 And that is the right word for it.
00:19:23.860 The reality is that children's rights to their own mother and father, it actually might be too weak of a term.
00:19:29.300 They have such a claim to their own parents that there really is very little language we could use to describe the strength of that claim.
00:19:35.800 Okay, so I understand that rights is disputed.
00:19:37.160 It's the most fundamental human thing.
00:19:38.600 It is literally one of the most universal...
00:19:40.920 And all human civilization is based on that one thing.
00:19:43.260 That's right.
00:19:44.120 And so children have a right to be known and loved by their mother and father.
00:19:47.900 They have a right to life.
00:19:49.180 They have a right to an intact body, an unmedicalized body.
00:19:52.240 They have a right to innocence.
00:19:53.600 It is the duty of parents to protect those rights.
00:19:56.840 I love that you're talking about duties.
00:19:58.280 Well, they go together.
00:19:59.360 In natural law theory, rights and duties are two sides of the same coin.
00:20:02.540 That's correct.
00:20:02.900 So you're exactly right, Tim, that there's a lot of momentum on the right when it comes to parental rights.
00:20:09.880 And that's good.
00:20:11.040 But parental rights has limits.
00:20:12.920 You do not have a right to chemically sterilize your child just because you think, I'm the parent, I can do what I want.
00:20:17.980 So I think parental rights are important, but insufficient when it comes to child protection.
00:20:22.940 That is why I use the language of children's rights.
00:20:25.700 Because just because an adult wants to do something like take their kid to drag queen...
00:20:29.080 But the problem with children's rights...
00:20:31.060 That sounds nice, right?
00:20:32.340 Again, it goes back to sounding nice.
00:20:34.220 How does the court view children's rights?
00:20:37.440 The best interest of the child is what?
00:20:40.120 The best interest of the mother.
00:20:42.280 That is the original law that was implemented.
00:20:46.560 And it was the tender years doctrine.
00:20:48.340 And the tender years doctrine was a sexist law.
00:20:51.380 And it assumed that the best interest of the child is to be with the mother under the age of seven.
00:20:56.500 And as you guys know, women are the most likely ones to abuse children.
00:20:59.800 And they're the most likely ones to kill children.
00:21:01.860 So again, sounds nice.
00:21:04.220 Not actually nice.
00:21:05.200 But here's the danger.
00:21:06.880 Everything has pluses and minuses, right?
00:21:08.940 The world's not, you know, black and white.
00:21:11.980 The danger of children's rights is what we see in the family courts today.
00:21:17.600 Where, unfortunately, we live in a decadent society.
00:21:20.940 And I mean that in the Latin sense.
00:21:22.640 Right.
00:21:23.440 Decadenced.
00:21:23.940 Out of step with one another.
00:21:25.220 There's no general agreement on what constitutes what's, you know, good for a child in many circumstances.
00:21:32.780 So the notion of children's rights could be used in such a way as to force parents in California to transition their children.
00:21:41.780 And it is actually being used that way.
00:21:43.860 This is the challenge with conservatives.
00:21:45.880 They want men to do all of the work, to take all of the responsibility for nothing in return.
00:21:51.740 And they will shame them and say, you're not real men.
00:21:54.380 You're not good men if you don't do it.
00:21:57.220 And to me, that doesn't make any sense.
00:21:59.640 Why on earth would a guy get married and have kids in a system where the woman is paid to rob him?
