Today on the Matt Wall Show, the UK is in the midst of a full-scale crackdown on free speech.
00:00:04.520
The US might be next. We'll talk about it. Also, unmarried women are more liberal than
00:00:08.560
they've ever been as the political gender divide grows deeper. Why is that happening,
00:00:12.540
and what can we do about it? Cori Bush lashes out in a typically unhinged way after losing
00:00:16.880
her primary. I'm venturing into one of the darkest and most depressing corners of the
00:00:20.780
internet to see if maybe I can shed a little bit of light there. We'll talk about all that

00:02:00.860
to 989898 today. When several children were stabbed to death while attending a Taylor Swift-themed
00:02:07.260
dance class in the UK late last month, British politicians and media outlets immediately went
00:02:11.600
to great lengths to absolve themselves of any responsibility. They declared that decades of
00:02:16.100
unrestricted mass migration couldn't possibly be the reason that three young girls were dead and
00:02:20.880
many more were critically injured. The fact that the alleged killer was born in Britain to
00:02:25.260
Rwandan parents who somehow ended up in Britain, the government insisted, was completely irrelevant.
00:02:29.860
Only far-right extremists would say otherwise. As I outlined earlier this week, British politicians
00:02:34.420
threatened to arrest those far-right extremists for hate speech and misinformation. As protests
00:02:40.480
and riots broke out all over the country, the government promised to punish anyone who suggested
00:02:44.820
that maybe open borders were a bad idea. But the problem with punishing wrong think is that
00:02:49.920
it does nothing to address the underlying problem. You can throw every single right-wing
00:02:54.180
commentator in the Tower of London for saying that mass migration has deadly consequences
00:02:58.140
and they'll still be right. And children will continue to be targeted because of the barbaric
00:03:03.260
ideology that Europe's leaders have deliberately imported from the Third World. As if to prove that
00:03:09.220
point on Wednesday, authorities in Vienna arrested two suspects who were planning a terrorist attack at
00:03:14.820
Taylor Swift's concerts that were originally scheduled for this weekend. Concerts have been canceled,
00:03:19.600
apparently because the threat remains high. One of the suspects is reportedly 19 years old and pledged
00:03:24.880
allegiance to ISIS. The police are apparently looking for at least one additional suspect.
00:03:30.240
Bomb-making materials are involved. And beyond that, we're not sure exactly who these suspects are at
00:03:35.560
the moment because the authorities won't say. Watch. We have some breaking news for you. Austrian police say they
00:03:42.120
have arrested two people suspected of planning an attack at a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, Austria.
00:03:48.200
Officials say a 19-year-old suspect made, quote, concrete preparatory acts for a terrorist attack.
00:03:54.920
Swift has concerts scheduled in Vienna Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
00:03:58.920
You know, according to German police, at least one of the suspects was a 19-year-old who was radicalized
00:04:04.840
and joined ISIS via the internet. And when they took him into custody, they found substances of chemicals
00:04:12.600
that could possibly be used to make bombs. However, that is something that they're looking into.
00:04:18.920
Vienna has a track record of being something of a breeding ground, or at least it has a track record of
00:04:25.480
of having inspired young people to join ISIS, even go and join the Islamic State.
00:04:31.720
So, according to that report, Vienna now has a track record of being a breeding ground for the
00:04:37.000
Islamic State. What's not stated in that news report is what could possibly explain this troubling rise
00:04:43.160
in terrorist incidents in a place like Austria. It is a country that used to be known as the birthplace
00:04:49.240
of classical music and strong coffee, and now they're a breeding ground for ISIS? How did that happen?
00:04:56.440
What got into all these Austrians? It's a mystery wrapped in an enigma. What's unstated, of course,
00:05:03.560
in that report is that an awful lot of foreign nationals have poured into Austria over the past
00:05:08.040
few decades from countries like Montenegro, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Chechnya, Turkey, Somalia.
00:05:15.800
And some of these immigrants are doing things that Austrians don't generally do.
00:05:20.360
Just a few months ago, for example, a 14-year-old ISIS sympathizer from Montenegro was arrested in
00:05:25.080
Austria with a knife and an axe that she allegedly planned to use in a terrorist attack. How did a
00:05:29.800
14-year-old terrorist from Montenegro get into Austria? Well, who knows? The media doesn't care.
00:05:37.080
Reporters aren't even allowed to bring up any of this immigration stuff because it might lead people
00:05:42.120
to conclude that more immigration isn't always a good thing, that maybe immigration isn't always an
00:05:47.480
enriching thing for a country. In fact, in the UK, even suggesting that maybe immigration isn't
00:05:55.880
always great can now land you in prison. Here's England's director of public prosecutions, a guy
00:06:02.120
named Steven Parkinson. And he wants Britons to know that if they so much as retweet anything that
00:06:08.120
insults the foreign nationals who are living illegally in their country, then the full force of the law will
00:06:13.560
descend on them. Watch. The offence of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing
00:06:20.520
material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to or likely to start racial hatred.
00:06:29.880
So if you retweet that, then you're republishing that and then potentially you're committing that
00:06:34.040
offence. And we do have dedicated police officers who are scouring social media. Their job is to look
00:06:41.080
for this material and then follow up with identification arrests and so forth. So it's a really,
00:06:47.560
really serious. People might think they're not doing anything harmful. They are. And the consequences
00:06:54.840
will be visited upon them. Consequences will be visited upon them. So, you know, you've got children
00:07:00.920
being stabbed to death. And, but what they're worried about, they have a dedicated police officer
00:07:08.280
scouring, scouring social media to find mean comments about immigrants.
00:07:16.920
Now, aside from the accent and the language, it's a clip that might as well be from North Korea.
00:07:22.120
Instead of having teams of police officers deporting some of the illegal aliens who are living in Britain,
00:07:26.840
which would actually accomplish something productive, the British government is spending its time
00:07:30.200
scouring Twitter looking for retweets they don't like. And apparently, even if you write like,
00:07:36.680
RTs are not endorsements in your bio, you're not going to be spared. If you retweet something that
00:07:42.280
Keir Starmer thinks is naughty, you'll go to prison. The consequences will be visited upon you.
00:07:49.240
Now, of course, Steven Parkinson left the standard vague on purpose so that no one knows where the line
00:07:54.280
is exactly. Take this quote from the New York Times, for example. More British Muslims,
00:07:59.640
more British Muslim men have joined ISIS and the Nusra Front than are serving in the British armed
00:08:04.440
forces. We mentioned that yesterday on the show. But would a statement like that qualify as inciting
00:08:11.000
racial hatred? It happens to be a factually true statement, as unbelievable and incredible as it may seem,
00:08:16.920
that there are more Muslims, more British Muslims that are interested in joining terrorist groups
00:08:23.400
than fighting for the British armed forces. But are you allowed to at least point that out? What if
00:08:30.200
you point it out and don't even comment on it? What if you make, what if you offer no commentary,
00:08:33.240
you just say, here's a thing that's happening? Well, that might be against the law now because it may
00:08:40.040
lead people to conclude that Britain's immigration policy isn't the best. So maybe you can't retweet that or
00:08:45.640
say it. Nobody knows. It's a completely subjective standard that's clearly designed to terrify people
00:08:50.280
into submission. They don't want to make people afraid to, they want to make people, well, they don't
00:08:55.240
just want to make people afraid to speak their mind. They also want to make people afraid to
00:08:58.680
agree with someone else who speaks their mind. So it's about terrifying you into silence. And also
00:09:06.040
part of terrifying you into silence is letting you know that you'll be isolated. That if you go out on
00:09:11.700
a limb and you say something that the authorities don't like, not only are they going to come after
00:09:17.460
you, but other people are not allowed to even agree with you or amplify what you said. So you're
00:09:23.620
going to be alone on an island. That's the idea. They're going several layers deep in order to censor
00:09:29.460
dissent as all illegitimate regimes do. Pretty soon they'll be rounding up the family members of anyone
00:09:36.100
who likes a tweet criticizing Keir Starmer. Now, if this were happening in any other third world
00:09:41.580
country, the State Department would immediately condemn this as a flagrant abuse of human rights.
00:09:46.880
The UN Security Council would hold a meeting. We might even invade so that we can spread freedom
00:09:51.900
and democracy. We'd find like rebel groups that want to take over the government. We'd give them
00:09:57.680
money and guns to do it. But because Britain is a supposedly already a first world country,
00:10:03.360
and also because they sit on the Security Council, no one says anything. Britain, like Canada,
00:10:09.040
has descended very sharply and very quickly into totalitarianism. The government can tolerate
00:10:14.700
the murder of children. It can't tolerate criticism or even retweets of criticism.
00:10:20.120
The rapid collapse of both Britain and Canada raises the obvious question of whether and when
00:10:25.460
a similar collapse might happen here. And there's one clear indication that it might come sooner than
00:10:30.600
we think. Yesterday, I spoke at length about Tim Walls, who's repeatedly lied about his military
00:10:34.340
service record. His lies have been exposed, for the most part, because of free and open discussion
00:10:39.460
on social media. And there's no doubt that if he gets into the White House, Tim Walls will do
00:10:44.080
everything he can to shut down those discussions. He said as much in 2022 during an interview with MSNBC.
00:10:51.880
I think we need to push back on this. There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or
00:10:57.040
hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
00:11:00.400
There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.
00:11:06.900
Well, that line by itself should have disqualified Tim Walls from getting anywhere near the vice
00:11:11.040
presidential shortlist. It should have disqualified him from continuing to serve in the government of
00:11:15.800
Minnesota in any capacity. In a serious country, he would be impeached and removed from office
00:11:21.580
for saying that. But Tim Walls was not impeached. He didn't suffer any consequences whatsoever. He was
00:11:27.840
barely even criticized. On some corners of the internet, people reacted to that footage by,
00:11:33.160
you know, saying that Tim Walls must have failed high school civics, that sort of thing. But
00:11:38.580
that's actually not what the clip shows. We can assume that Tim Walls knows that the First Amendment
00:11:44.780
protects misinformation and hate speech and even criticisms of democracy, whatever those things mean.
00:11:50.380
Which, by the way, if you're saying the First Amendment does not protect your right to
00:11:56.920
engage in hate speech against democracy, what does that mean? He means the government.
00:12:04.780
So he just pretty explicitly said that you do not have the First Amendment right to criticize the
00:12:09.180
government. Now, in fact, if the First Amendment does not protect so-called hate speech and so-called
00:12:16.020
misinformation, then it doesn't protect anything. After all, something is labeled misinformation if
00:12:22.580
some people, especially powerful people, claim that it's untrue or inaccurate. And something is
00:12:28.400
labeled hate speech if some people, especially powerful people, claim that it's morally repugnant
00:12:33.080
and offensive. So if the First Amendment does not cover misinformation and hate speech, that means
00:12:38.480
that we're free to say anything we want, as long as it's not something that powerful people consider
00:12:44.060
wrong, inaccurate, offensive, or outrageous. Which is to say we don't have free speech or anything
00:12:50.700
approaching free speech. If we only have free speech up to the point when powerful people don't
00:12:55.500
like it, then there's no free speech. Or at the very least, that is a level of free speech that you
00:13:02.620
can find in North Korea or Iran or any of those places. Now, Tim Walls knows this. He's not the
00:13:12.400
smartest guy, but he's smart enough to understand the basic principle here. So the real takeaway then
00:13:18.540
is that he just doesn't care. He understands that the First Amendment is just words on paper.
00:13:24.540
The Soviet Union had a constitution guaranteeing free speech. Canada and the UK have charters that
00:13:30.700
supposedly protect freedom of expression. But the constitution and charters, they don't matter if
00:13:35.740
nobody cares about what they say. These are not self-enforcing things. They have to actually be
00:13:42.900
enforced actively. And if they're not, they may as well not exist. This is the trajectory that we're
00:13:49.240
on. A decade ago, nobody in the UK would have thought that the police would ever show up at their door
00:13:54.660
because they retweeted someone else's political commentary. And now that's the reality of living in
00:14:00.200
Britain. The insidious thing about this kind of censorship is that by the time it takes hold,
00:14:06.100
it's too late to actually do anything about it. Protesters inevitably turn to violence, which in
00:14:11.480
turn leads to more censorship and more crackdowns. This is the cycle that leads to a country so unstable
00:14:17.520
and so dangerous that it can't even host a Taylor Swift concert anymore. So reasonable people look to
00:14:24.980
Europe than as a cautionary tale. But people like Tim Walls and Kamala Harris see it as a blueprint.
00:14:40.540
It's far too easy to put something important off because I just don't have the time or patience to
00:14:44.840
deal with it. It's like going to the DMV. But sitting here talking on today's culture and political
00:14:49.800
issues has taken at least a decade off my life, which is why it's so important to stop putting
00:14:55.400

00:16:02.520
So The Guardian has a report today, or this week rather, headline,
00:16:07.920
Young Women Are the Most Progressive Group in American History. Young Men Are Checked Out.
00:16:12.560
So this is a dynamic that we're all very familiar with at this point, I think.
00:16:18.860
And this is just the latest sort of report and commentary on it. I'll read a little bit of it.
00:16:24.180
And I have a few points of my own to make about this.
00:16:28.100
When Donald Trump strutted on the stage at the Republican National Convention last month,
00:16:32.160
it was to a raucous cover of James Brown's It's a Man's Man's Man's World. The song credits men
00:16:37.580
with inventing cars, trains, lights, boats, toys, and commerce, which, I mean, we did.
00:16:43.700
The message was not subtle, at least not to Melissa Deckman. Quote,
00:16:47.880
this idea of America needing someone who is a strong, masculine figure, I think the Republican
00:16:51.480
campaign this year is doing it even in a more pronounced and overt way than it did in 2016,
00:16:55.820
said Deckman, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute.
00:16:59.960
You have a lot of younger men admiring the strength of Trump or what they think is strong.
00:17:03.780
Deckman would know in her forthcoming book, The Politics of Gen Z, How the Youngest Voters
00:17:09.020
Will Shape Our Democracy. She dives into the deep political divides between Gen Z women and men
00:17:13.980
and explores how they feel about growing up in the Trump era. Based on interviews with roughly 90
00:17:19.240
Gen Z political activists, numerous focus groups, and extensive polling, Deckman has identified what
00:17:24.640
she calls a historic reverse gender gap. She's found that Gen Z men are becoming more conservative
00:17:30.060
as well as increasingly indifferent to politics, bucking longstanding trends dating back to at
00:17:34.280
least the 1970s that saw young people across the board voting liberal and men being generally more
00:17:39.400
involved in politics than women. Meanwhile, Gen Z women have not only become the most progressive
00:17:43.740
cohort in the U.S., in U.S. history rather, but are also expected to outpace their male peers across
00:17:49.140
virtually every measure of political involvement, such as donating money, volunteering for campaigns,
00:17:53.760
registering people to vote, and of course, voting. Young women were outstripping men on political
00:17:58.960
engagement well before Joe Biden stepped aside in favor of Kamala Harris. Now with Harris, the presumptive
00:18:03.820
Democratic nominee, a generation already riven by a canyon-wide political gender gap is watching
00:18:08.720
a contest between a woman and blah, blah, blah. So in 2022, 49% of Gen Z men said that the United States
00:18:18.480
had become too soft and feminine, Deckman found. Just a year later, 60% of Gen Z men said the same.
00:18:25.880
So we find that this divide is not only present, but it's growing deeper and deeper. So this is,
00:18:32.420
again, a well-established fact at this point. A lot has been said and written about the political
00:18:37.460
gender divide. Women, unmarried women specifically, and we talk about Gen Z women, you know, of course,
00:18:45.300
there are unmarried women who are older, but so it's not just Gen Z. It's really, as we're talking
00:18:50.140
about unmarried women, are much more likely to be liberal. In fact, Republicans win.
00:18:58.680
When you break down the gender demographics any other way, Republicans win. Republicans win
00:19:03.200
married women. They win married men. They win unmarried men. The only group they don't win
00:19:08.380
are the unmarried women. And they lose that group by like a wide margin.
00:19:13.800
So it's a fascinating and quite troubling trend, which is why it's been discussed so much, for good
00:19:20.840
reason. And there are two questions that immediately arise, of course, which is, why is this the case?
00:19:29.480
Number one. And number two, what do we do about it? Which is more a question of, if you're a
00:19:35.320
conservative or if you're a Republican, what do you do about it? How do you respond to it?
00:19:39.540
Um, the why is a long answer. You know, it's very multifaceted. Everyone has theories about why
00:19:47.940
it's breaking down this way. Some of the theories are good. Many times I think that they're
00:19:52.660
fanciful. Why are women, unmarried women especially, trending so liberal? Well, part of it is that
00:19:59.340
there's a lot. I mean, part of it is that women are naturally more emotional and empathetic.
00:20:05.120
Democrat rhetoric and tactics play on that and exploit that. Um, we know that Democrats rarely
00:20:13.320
argue for a policy by laying out its practical benefits or explaining how it'll make your life
00:20:19.560
better and your community better in some measurable way. They rarely do that unless they're just offering
00:20:25.840
bribes, right? Unless they're just saying, we're going to pay off your student loans. Here's some
00:20:30.060
welfare. Uh, so in that case, they, they will, um, try to appeal, you might say in a more practical way,
00:20:37.500
but aside from bribery, um, they don't spend a lot of time explaining like, here's a policy and no,
00:20:46.380
we're not going to give you money, but when we enact this policy, it's going to actually make your life
00:20:50.780
better. And here's how in, in, in ways that you can see and feel and experience. Uh, they don't spend a
00:20:59.340
lot of time doing that. They make the emotional argument, which is cloaked usually as a moral
00:21:04.500
argument and it's very effective with women. It's less effective with men. Now, also there's the
00:21:12.000
simple fact that Democrats suck up to women and really deify women and celebrate women constantly
00:21:18.380
while demonizing and scapegoating men. That's another part of the story here. Like you're just
00:21:25.320
never going to hear a Democrat politician say the word men or man in an explicitly positive context.
00:21:35.220
You'll never hear it. They'll say it in a neutral context. Sometimes they'll say it in a negative
00:21:41.140
context, talking about the problems with men and what men are doing wrong. You will literally never
00:21:47.960
hear any of them ever say anything positive about men as a group. You will never, ever hear it,
00:21:56.180
which that's the kind of thing that we're so used to it, that you hear that and you,
00:22:00.980
you know, it just kind of bounces off of you. But really think about that. And I,
00:22:08.020
you could go looking for an example to disprove my point, but you can't find it. Like go,
00:22:13.080
go try to find maybe like the last 20 years, go try to find a Democrat politician singling out men
00:22:19.140
specifically in a positive way. Never happens. Never happens. So, um, I mean, that's not the case
00:22:27.200
for women. Women, I mean, women are flattered all the time. And most, most cases, if you hear a
00:22:32.120
Democrat politician say the word woman or women, it will be followed by something complimentary.
00:22:39.220
Um, so women are flattered, men are demoralized. When this article says that men are checked out,
00:22:47.700
that's the point. Like that's the reason behind the demoralization campaign. It's actually not that
00:22:55.900
surprising that you have young men that are checked out. I don't know if they're checked out to the
00:23:01.360
degree that this article in the Guardian claims, but that's, that's the idea. When you're constantly
00:23:08.920
scapegoating and demonizing a certain group and telling this group that you don't care about them,
00:23:13.400
you don't need them, you don't want them, it has a demoralizing effect. So, so there's that as well.
00:23:18.400
And then I think, um, it's also undoubtedly the case that women are more collectivist in a sense.
00:23:26.600
Um, communal would be maybe the less pejorative way of saying it. And, you know, I don't mean it as
00:23:32.600
a pejorative. Women are more group oriented. They are. And this, this has many positive results.
00:23:41.400
Uh, it means that women make friends. They, they stay socially connected. Uh, when they get married,
00:23:49.660
they're the ones who make sure that the family keeps in touch with, um, friends and family and,
00:23:55.120
and is involved in the community and goes out and does like things as a, you know, it goes out and does,
00:24:01.040
there's a community event somewhere. There's a, whatever, a fair or something happening in the
00:24:06.520
community and there are families there. It's like 95% of the families are there because the,
00:24:13.200
the mom insisted that they come. Um, and, uh, and so that's, that's the positive end of,
00:24:20.780
of women being wired that way. There's also the downside. Women and girls can tend to fall more
00:24:25.580
easily into trends and fads, uh, more susceptible to peer pressure, more harmed, uh, mentally by
00:24:34.740
social alienation and ostracization. There's a reason that adolescent girls are so much more
00:24:40.860
likely to be, uh, gender dysphoric, so much more likely to develop eating disorders. Um,
00:24:47.260
there's always like some, some, some, some kind of trend like that, uh, making its way through
00:24:54.540
middle schools and high schools, uh, some kind of self-destructive trend that adolescent girls are
00:24:59.920
getting wrapped up into. And, um, and right now it's gender dysphoria. And, uh, and this relates back
00:25:08.820
to the political question because we live in a progressive society where all of our institutions
00:25:12.560
push progressivism. So women are just more likely to be influenced by that and to care about that.
00:25:21.160
You know, Taylor Swift is liberal and to a lot of our female fans, that matters.
00:25:29.240
They, they, they want to have the same values as Taylor Swift and the other Taylor Swift fans. Like,
00:25:33.920
it's just a fact. Men are not impervious to this, are not impervious to groupthink, obviously, but
00:25:40.820
as men, we tend to have more of a contrarian, more of an antisocial streak to us that can in some
00:25:47.680
context serve us well. It can also cause problems, but in this case, it makes us less susceptible to
00:25:54.600
the kind of groupthink that leads to people becoming green haired wokesters, right? In fact, it's
00:25:59.560
interesting that the article mentions how back in the sixties and seventies, young men were more liberal
00:26:04.840
and more politically involved. And this is seen as kind of a mysterious fact. What happened?
00:26:12.200
Well, I wonder if this, if what I'm talking about here isn't part of the explanation for that. Back 50
00:26:15.820
years ago, it was counter-cultural, it was rebellious, it was contrarian to be liberal. And so, um,
00:26:23.560
you know, more, more young men were attracted to it for partly for that reason. And now it has flipped
00:26:33.340
and so have young men. Now, of course, the problem with my theory is that it probably doesn't hold up
00:26:39.840
if you go back further. I don't think you're going to find historically that young men have always just
00:26:44.740
been like reflexively opposed to the dominant cultural value system. In fact, I'm sure that that
00:26:51.160
isn't the case. So it's not quite as simple as that, I admit. So then you have to, you have to go deeper
00:26:56.380
into the male psyche. Like if men are more likely to be rebellious and contrarian and counter-cultural
00:27:02.560
today, why is that? Why are men attracted to that? I think it might be the danger, you know, kind of the,
00:27:09.880
the fight is what we're, is why we find that's appealing, especially younger men. Well, older societies
00:27:16.920
have had other ways of harnessing that energy. Um, you know, older societies, especially,
00:27:25.140
you know, the farther you go back, I think the more that's the case that you, you know, young men have
00:27:32.400
always had this, this, um, hunger for, for, for danger, for the fight, for adventure.
00:27:41.780
And when you go back into, into, you know, earlier times, there were, um, other ways to kind of
00:27:48.840
naturally harness that in society, not so much now. And so young men look for other outlets.
00:27:56.180
Um, so I think that's part of what's going on here. And there's, there's more to it than that.
00:28:00.120
Even, you know, you could spend hours breaking it down, but the most immediate question is like,
00:28:06.680
okay, this is the case. What, for whatever reason, this is the situation we're facing right now.
00:28:12.560
That unmarried women are very, very liberal, more liberal than they've ever been by a huge margin.
00:28:19.840
And, and they are, and in that way, they're like a sore thumb sticking out from all the other groups,
00:28:26.420
married, unmarried men, married women. That's the fact from a political perspective,
00:28:32.560
what do you do about that right now? And this is why I go back to, you know, I'll keep saying it
00:28:39.760
until I'm blue in the face here, but yeah, long-term as a conservative, you gotta, you gotta find some
00:28:48.100
way to turn this trend around. But right now, especially in this election season, there's
00:28:55.740
nothing we can do about that. Unmarried women, single women are just very liberal and that's it.
00:29:01.220
We're not going to, we're not going to change that in the next three months. It's not going to happen.
00:29:06.980
Which means, now I'm not saying that you give up on single women politically, but
00:29:12.140
in a way you kind of have to, like you can't, you're not going to win them. It's just it.
00:29:17.380
That's, that's done right now. It's not going to happen. So you really don't tailor any of your
00:29:22.240
messaging to this group that you cannot win right now. You want to come up with a 30-year plan so that
00:29:28.500
30 years from now, maybe you can win them? Then yeah, we could talk about that. But right now,
00:29:32.020
that's a 30-year plan. That's not a three-month plan. Right now, you have to look at the groups
00:29:37.040
that are just, you can't win. And, and say, okay, well, like, we're happy to have your vote.
00:29:44.540
Please, please, please, you're welcome to come vote for us, but we're not going to do a whole lot
00:29:49.660
to try to appeal to you specifically because you've made it clear you don't want anything to do with us
00:29:53.720
right now. Okay, have it your way. And then you have to look and mobilize the voters who you know
00:29:59.920
you can attract and you can appeal to. And that's, I mean, look, that's what Kamala's campaign is
00:30:07.360
doing. It's part of the way that they're getting these big rallies and they're creating this, this
00:30:13.780
illusion that she's some sort of political sensation. But they know what their crowd is,
00:30:21.680
they know who they have to mobilize, and that's what they're doing.
00:30:26.080
That's why they had Megan Thee Stallion at a, at a, at a rally. You know, they, that's not going
00:30:33.980
to appeal. Like, if you want to appeal to, let's say, married white men, you're not going to do it
00:30:40.540
with Megan Thee Stallion. But what Kamala's campaign is saying is like, okay, we know we don't have you
00:30:46.040
people. We don't, we don't need you. Married white men, who cares? Like, this is the group we need,
00:30:51.840
and we're going to get them, and we're going to drown you out by getting all these people.
00:30:57.700
And it's a, it's a, say what else, whatever you want about it, but it's a smart political strategy,
00:31:02.200
and it could work. And Republicans need to be doing the same in the reverse.
00:31:07.900
They need to be saying, okay, like, we're not going to, you know, unmarried single women,
00:31:13.780
Gen Z women, not going to get them. What can we do? How can we, okay, there's a lot of, a lot of
00:31:19.280
disaffected single and married men. What can we do to appeal to them specifically, and directly,
00:31:28.360
and explicitly, and try to mobilize them to get into this thing, and get excited about it?
00:31:33.440
And I think that there's some of that happening, but not nearly enough. Okay, Cori Bush, as mentioned
00:31:41.020
a few days ago, lost her primary. She'll be gone from Congress, and it's a humiliation that could
00:31:47.200
not have happened to a more deserving person, I think we could say. But Cori Bush was not happy
00:31:51.800
about losing, understandably not happy about it, and that led to an interesting concession speech.
00:31:57.340
Let's listen to it. Pulling me away from my position as Congresswoman.
00:32:11.400
Let's be clear! Let's be clear! Let's be clear! Let's be clear! Let's be clear! Let's
00:32:32.460
Let's be clear! Let's be clear! Let's talk about what it really is.
00:32:41.460
Because see now I don't have to worry about some strings that I have attached to it as much as I love my job.
00:32:48.460
But all they did was radicalize me and so now they need to be afraid.
00:33:02.460
See now they about to see this other Corey, this other side, because let me say this.
00:33:13.460
I just grew up a whole lot more over the last few weeks.
00:33:18.460
Just grew up a whole different way and so what they are about to get, they think.
00:33:25.460
So the thing is this, the thing is this, I don't, I don't think that anything, there is nothing that happens in my life that happens in vain.
00:33:43.460
So this happened, it's because it was meant to happen and let me say, it's because the work that I need to do and let me say this.
00:33:56.460
So, first of all, no one, no one's afraid of you.
00:34:02.460
I'm radicalized now, now I'm, you have no power anymore.
00:34:15.460
A few other things to notice here, and this is just a, just a small thing to note, but you, you heard her get stuck in this kind of vocal loop,
00:34:22.460
or she repeats, let's be clear, like ten times.
00:34:25.460
And I've noticed that that's, that's one of the hallmarks of a low IQ person.
00:34:28.460
I'm just, you know, just an interesting side note.
00:34:31.460
Not sure, quite sure how to explain it, but the next time you're around a very dumb person who's angry about something,
00:34:39.460
notice how they tend to get upset and they, they ramble and shout and then they get stuck on like a certain word or phrase they'll repeat over and over again.
00:34:46.460
A more intelligent person, someone with an internal monologue and like the capacity for introspection, will have more of a progression of thoughts.
00:34:57.460
But dumb people like Cori Bush, this is what they sound like.
00:35:00.460
It's also interesting that she kept saying that the strings are off, which is an interesting thing to say.
00:35:09.460
So are you admitting that, what do you mean the strings are off?
00:35:12.460
Are you, what, are you admitting you were a puppet before?
00:35:15.460
Is that the, is that the, what do you mean, like is that, so that brings to mind the image of like a marionette.
00:35:21.460
So you're saying you were a puppet before and now you're no longer a puppet.
00:35:29.460
Why did you have strings when you were in Congress?
00:35:33.460
Like that tells us something about, I don't, I don't have any doubt that she had strings in Congress, but what does that say about her?
00:35:40.460
But really the, the thing you notice about, about this is, and people are focused on the fact that she, she went on to attack AIPAC and all of that.
00:35:52.460
But the real issue is how self-centered and self-focused she sounds.
00:36:01.460
And usually in a concession speech, if you could even call it a concession speech, but usually in a concession speech and, and yeah, it's, it's, it's phony, but the, the losing candidate will say things like, but yeah, this isn't about me.
00:36:19.460
It's about all of you where we're still in this fight together.
00:36:22.460
Um, I couldn't have done this without any of you and all this, like he's, the, the candidate will bring it back to the people and pretend that that's what she's really concerned about.
00:36:43.460
How many times did the words I and me come up in that clip?
00:36:50.460
And this is the problem that we have, you know, there, there are many Cori Bushes in Congress that are, um, not just exceedingly stupid, although she is, but intensely focused on themselves.
00:37:06.460
And so dumb that they can't even pretend otherwise at this point.
00:37:10.460
That's the kind of people we have representing us.
00:37:15.460
Well, I got the same group of white guys back together to ask America's next burning question.
00:37:22.460
I went deep undercover into cesspool of DEI insanity.
00:37:25.460
I rubbed elbows with professional race hustlers and diversity con artists.
00:37:29.460
Some would say, uh, I did the work and now it's your turn.
00:37:32.460
But the date I need you to remember right now is Thursday, August 15th.
00:37:38.460
With your help, we're going to stick it to the woke mob one ticket at a time.
00:37:41.460
Get all the details and watch the official trailer at miracist.com.
00:37:53.460
You know, sometimes on this show, I like to read questions and quandaries from the clueless souls on the internet, especially Reddit, and try my best to provide them with a little bit of guidance.
00:38:03.460
And that was a plan, the plan that I had for this segment.
00:38:06.460
But then my producer, McKenna, suggested that, um, for these purposes, I go to the subreddit called Regretful Parents to find some fodder for the segment.
00:38:18.460
And I can report that it is one of the most depressing places I've ever encountered on the internet, which is obviously saying a lot.
00:38:25.460
This is a forum, as the name suggests, of parents who regret becoming parents.
00:38:30.460
Just post after post after post of parents who view their children as nothing but a burden.
00:38:35.460
Talk about their kids like a person might talk about head lice or tapeworms.
00:38:41.460
This doesn't appear to be the attitude of every person who posts on the forum, some of whom are dealing with truly tragic personal situations.
00:38:48.460
But it is the attitude of some of them, probably most of them.
00:38:52.460
So at first I was, you know, I read all this and I thought, well, and I spent way too much, I went down a kind of a doom spiral of reading all these posts on this forum.
00:39:02.460
And, uh, I thought, well, I'm not going to attempt to talk about this on the show.
00:39:11.460
But then I decided that maybe I might have a useful thing or two to say to these people.
00:39:15.460
After all, there's a reason why this is such a popular and active forum.
00:39:19.460
Sadly, a sizable number of parents feel this way.
00:39:22.460
We like to think that, well, no one ever regrets having kids.
00:39:37.460
And I would guess, anecdotally, just a growing problem in this country that it's certainly worth addressing.
00:39:43.460
So this isn't really going to be a daily cancellation.
00:39:45.460
The subject itself doesn't quite lend itself to that.
00:39:48.460
So the cancellation is canceled just for today so that we could talk about this.
00:39:53.460
I'm going to start by reading a few of the posts or snippets of posts on this forum.
00:40:41.460
If I only knew that this subreddit existed, I probably could have avoided the biggest regret of my life, which is becoming a mother.
00:40:56.460
I want to live again and fall in love with life again.
00:40:58.460
I used to travel a lot back in my early twenties.
00:41:01.460
I always took part in some exchange programs in Europe and got to see a lot.
00:41:06.460
My son's about to be three and I'm just not having it.
00:41:08.460
I've been contemplating just leaving them and starting my life somewhere else.
00:41:20.460
When it's past bedtime and they're still up, and they're still up my ass, I tend to lose my shit.
00:41:29.460
If I had known autism apparently runs in my family, I honestly wouldn't have had kids at all.
00:41:36.460
Nothing but misery and regret as far as the eye can see.
00:41:39.460
Then things get even darker, if you can believe it.
00:41:47.460
They're two in one and I hate every single second they're awake.
00:41:59.460
All he says is they're babies and something's wrong with me.
00:42:08.460
My daughter, every single thing she does, pisses me off.
00:42:10.460
I'm constantly stressed, constantly screaming for her to stop touching things.
00:42:14.460
Oh my God, I wish I could turn back time and not have any of them.
00:42:22.460
My daughter just turned five and I was already regretful about having her and having no love for her.
00:42:26.460
We treat her well and I say I love her and all that jazz.
00:42:32.460
But she has now been diagnosed with selective mutism,
00:42:34.460
which is a type of anxiety disorder where she can't speak in public or to anyone outside her immediate family.
00:42:39.460
Her teacher says she doesn't speak a word at school and her peers keep asking her why she doesn't talk.
00:42:46.460
Now I have to deal with psychologist appointments.
00:42:51.460
And someone with an older kid says that my son is 11 and I still regret it every day.
00:43:02.460
I just want to live my life alone with friends.
00:43:04.460
I'm counting down the days when he finally leaves my home.
00:43:09.460
It's school holidays, so this week I'm taking him to a water park, then football practice, then an air show.
00:43:16.460
Only seven years to go and he's out of my house for good.
00:43:19.460
These have mostly been mothers so far with these posts, but also some dads are on the forum.
00:43:26.460
I'll read one of those just to be egalitarian about it.
00:43:30.460
Just day after day after day and it never ends and it never changes.
00:43:34.460
Incessant bickering, screaming, slapping, kicking, biting, fighting over every possible tiny little thing.
00:43:41.460
When all my attempts for diplomacy fail and I finally snap and yell at them to stop,
00:43:45.460
I act absolutely shocked and hurt by how mean dad is and it works.
00:43:48.460
I end up feeling terrible and apologizing to them and on and on and on it goes.
00:43:53.460
I don't understand how they seem to thrive in that level of dysfunction.
00:43:56.460
I know kids are dramatic and all, but I know I was never like that as a kid.
00:44:02.460
Okay, so a lot of frustration there to put it mildly.
00:44:11.460
I don't understand hating your kid or most of what we just read there, but frustration, sure.
00:44:19.460
When you have, as we did, two sets of twins, six kids total, you experience frustration.
00:44:25.460
Our last set of twins were both colicky as infants.
00:44:29.460
And if you know anything about colic in an infant, you know that, well, we dealt with about six months of constant crying morning, noon and night from two babies while also having four other kids to take care of.
00:44:42.460
And this was not that long ago. This was a year and a half ago.
00:44:46.460
So I'm not saying that that's the hardest parenting experience anyone's ever had, but it's definitely not entry level stuff that we were dealing with.
00:44:52.460
So I've been in the trenches is what I'm saying.
00:44:55.460
And therefore, I think I have some credibility to say the things that I'm going to say to all of these people and anyone who might find themselves relating to what I just read.
00:45:04.460
And some of what I'm going to say will sound harsh. It will certainly not sound like anything that your therapist will probably tell you.
00:45:12.460
And it's also not likely what your friends and family will say to you or have said to you.
00:45:17.460
But I'm going to say it because I think it needs to be said and it needs to be said for your sake and more importantly, for the sake of your children.
00:45:25.460
So three points, three pieces of advice. First, you know, a lot of parents who feel this level of anger and despair to the point of actually regretting having kids.
00:45:37.460
It's at least partly because their kids are out of control and totally unruly.
00:45:42.460
That's not what's happening in all of these cases, but in some of them, in particular, that last one that I read, the kids are running the house, bouncing off the walls, ruling the roost.
00:45:51.460
And and you're at wit's end. Well, here's the good news about that.
00:45:57.460
And it will sound like bad news, but it's actually good news is that it's your fault.
00:46:02.460
It's totally your fault. You are 100 percent to blame.
00:46:06.460
Your kids are out of control because you are out of control.
00:46:09.460
And I don't mean that you're yelling and screaming and losing your temper, though you might be.
00:46:14.460
But even when you have your temper in check, you're still being ruled by your emotions.
00:46:18.460
You are, I'm going to assume, angry, sullen, visibly overwhelmed, overcome by frustration and so on and so on.
00:46:29.460
And then maybe giving yourself credit because although you feel that way and you're coming off that way, at least you're not yelling.
00:46:36.460
Well, the problem is that your kids pick up on that. They see it.
00:46:40.460
And it's not just that they're imitating your lack of emotional regulation, though they are.
00:46:45.460
More importantly, they see that you are projecting a lack of control, a loss of command.
00:46:51.460
And they lose respect for you and your rules as a result.
00:46:56.460
And that's natural. When a leader seems flustered, his followers become disturbed.
00:47:01.460
And if this state of being flustered continues or happens over and over again, eventually they lose faith in his ability to lead.
00:47:09.460
People listening to my show know that I'm kind of a nerd about reading stories of explorers.
00:47:14.460
And sometimes in these stories, something that happens are mutinies.
00:47:22.460
And very often a mutiny happens because you've got a ship full of men in some uncharted part of the world.
00:47:29.460
And if the men on the ship, whose lives depend on the captain, if they perceive that the captain doesn't know what he's doing,
00:47:37.460
is afraid, is frustrated, indecisive, overwhelmed by the responsibility that he has taken on.
00:47:46.460
And if the men on the ship notice that, if they perceive it, they lose faith in his leadership.
00:47:55.460
So what's happening in some of these households is your kids, it's a mutiny.
00:47:59.460
They're staging a mutiny, although their reasons behind it are mostly unconscious, for the kids anyway.
00:48:06.460
Now what makes this good news is that it's very fixable.
00:48:10.460
All you have to do is put on a convincing front.
00:48:13.460
Fake it till you make it, as some very wise philosopher once said.
00:48:17.460
Project the appearance of being in control, of being in command, of being unbothered, of being unflustered, happy, good-humored.
00:48:30.460
And yes, it is a virtue to fake it in those cases.
00:48:33.460
This idea that we should never, you know, we need to be true to ourselves and be honest about our emotions.
00:48:40.460
In fact, you should be, you should not be honest about your emotions most of the time.
00:48:46.460
Like most of what you're feeling should not be known to the people around you.
00:48:56.460
And you combine that attitude, or the appearance of that attitude, with consistent guidelines, clear rules, and clear consequences for breaking the rules.
00:49:04.460
And you'll no longer have this level of dysfunction in your home.
00:49:08.460
Your children will not be in a constant state of war with each other and you.
00:49:11.460
And you may be able to enjoy their company and your own life as a consequence.
00:49:23.460
Happy people focus on the aspects of things that make them happy.
00:49:27.460
Unhappy people focus on the aspects that make them unhappy.
00:49:31.460
That seems so basic that it doesn't even need to be said, but it's a basic thing that we often lose sight of.
00:49:39.460
If you're an unhappy parent, it's because you're choosing to focus on all of the things that you want to do, but can't because you have kids.
00:49:47.460
And the things that you have to do, but don't want to do.
00:49:50.460
For the people who wrote these laments that I just read, this focus for them has become obsessive.
00:49:57.460
All they can think about is the stuff they don't want to have to do, but they have to do.
00:50:03.460
And the stuff that they would prefer to do, but they can't do.
00:50:06.460
And so they're just whining all the time in their heads and now on Reddit.
00:50:11.460
You don't want to do this. I don't want to do it anymore. This is hard.
00:50:14.460
I don't want to have to do these things. I want to travel.
00:50:17.460
Look, it's a choice that you have made to focus your attention on those things.
00:50:24.460
There are so many things in life you could focus on, and you decided to focus on the fact that you can't travel to Europe or whatever.
00:50:34.460
You've decided to be miserable and wallow in your misery.
00:50:38.460
And you could stay there forever, wallowing in it if you want.
00:50:44.460
And then you'll be unhappy and miserable your whole life.
00:50:47.460
In the process, you'll alienate everybody around you.
00:50:50.460
Your kids will grow to resent you and want nothing to do with you.
00:50:54.460
And then they'll get older and they'll be adults and they won't be as difficult anymore.
00:50:58.460
And you're going to want to have a relationship with them at that point because it's easy now because they're out of the house.
00:51:04.460
And they're going to have grandkids and you're going to want to see the grandkids because grandkids are easy.
00:51:10.460
But your kids are not going to want to have that relationship.
00:51:13.460
And you're going to spend the rest of your life feeling victimized.
00:51:16.460
Oh, my kids ignore me. They don't come over. They don't bring the grandkids over.
00:51:23.460
You did the bare minimum their whole childhood.
00:51:27.460
Like you fed them and clothed them. You have to do that.
00:51:31.460
But you had a bad attitude about it the entire time.
00:51:34.460
You made the home just an excruciating environment for them to live in.
00:51:41.460
Why the hell would they want a relationship with you?
00:51:55.460
The only person who can choose otherwise is you.
00:51:59.460
The only person who can fix the problem is you.
00:52:07.460
Now, I've never felt like I regretted being a parent.
00:52:10.460
Nor have I ever had feelings of hatred towards my children, for God's sake.
00:52:14.460
But I have experienced anger, frustration, sadness as a parent.
00:52:19.460
I have thrown plenty of pity parties for myself, like any parent does.
00:52:24.460
Because my parenting duties require me to do stuff I don't want to do.
00:52:28.460
And don't allow me to do the stuff that I do want to do.
00:52:34.460
And I've found that the way out of it is pretty simple.
00:52:45.460
One that is, you know, millions of parents encounter something like this every day.
00:52:50.460
So I get home from work most days around 5.30 or 6.
00:52:54.460
And contrary to popular opinion, I actually work long days.
00:53:00.460
Media is a stressful gig, if you can believe it.
00:53:08.460
A lot of people sit in traffic for longer, but still, 45 minutes in traffic.
00:53:12.460
And then I come home to a house full of kids who are talkative and needy and wanting my attention.
00:53:21.460
So every time I walk in the door every day, I have a choice to make.
00:53:28.460
It's so distinct that it may as well be two different doors I'm walking in.
00:53:33.460
There's the happy door or the annoyed, overwhelmed, sad door.
00:53:39.460
I'm either a stressed out, sad sack forced to come home to a noisy house with a bunch of needy kids who won't give me a chance to decompress, damn it.
00:53:48.460
Or I'm an incredibly blessed man, privileged to come home each night to a lively home full of fun, rambunctious children and a wife who loves me.
00:54:03.460
And the thing is, when I walk in the door, the environment what I'm walking into is the same.
00:54:08.460
It is entirely up to me how I choose to perceive it.
00:54:14.460
And if I choose the sad, miserable door, I have no one to blame but myself.
00:54:27.460
And this goes to really, this is advice, universal advice for everybody.
00:54:37.460
And I know everybody says that we have to vent.
00:54:41.460
We have to release our tension in the form of these self-pitying, overly dramatic sessions.
00:54:54.460
Forums like this Reddit forum, they should not exist.
00:55:03.460
Having a place to anonymously voice your darkest and most unspeakable emotions and thoughts
00:55:08.460
in order to then be assured by other anonymous people that it's totally normal to feel that way
00:55:14.460
and to be encouraged in your basest impulses and most dysfunctional modes of thought is bad.
00:55:22.460
Especially because all the people that are, and I read the comments under a lot of those,
00:55:27.460
a lot of those posts that I just read, people giving their own advice.
00:55:33.460
There was one post that I don't think I read of a woman whose, her young son is about to be his birthday.
00:55:41.460
And, and she's not happy about his birthday and not excited about it.
00:55:45.460
Which again, it's like, okay, so you're not excited about his birthday.
00:55:55.460
But one of the pieces of advice that someone, uh, left a bunch of, you know, had a bunch
00:56:01.460
of likes, upvotes or whatever was, um, well on, on the day of his birthday party, just leave
00:56:08.460
Don't tell anyone, just leave and come back at night.
00:56:23.460
And the reason that you get it is because the people that are there leaving comments, they
00:56:27.460
are not encouraging you or trying to reassure you.
00:56:34.460
They're only there to make themselves feel better.
00:56:36.460
They have these awful thoughts and feelings about their own family and their children.
00:56:40.460
And they're trying to find a place where other people are saying the same things so that they
00:56:45.460
can tell themselves it's not so terrible to feel this way.
00:56:47.460
And so everybody, they're all just encouraging themselves in the form of encouraging other
00:56:52.460
people to be the worst versions of themselves they can possibly be.
00:56:57.460
Now the truth is, I know we like to say that, you know, there's no such thing as a wrong
00:57:06.460
feeling and you should be honest about how you feel.
00:57:22.460
Like it's bad to have, you shouldn't feel that way.
00:57:31.460
The level of anger expressed by most of these people is wrong.
00:57:36.460
Having this kind of disdain for your family is wrong.
00:57:40.460
Venting this kind of stuff doesn't get it off your chest.
00:57:46.460
You know, it's not like opening a window in the bathroom to air out the smell.
00:57:52.460
All it does is make the flame grow and spread until it's completely out of control.
00:58:05.460
If you have feelings like the lady who says that she doesn't like her 11 year old son,
00:58:20.460
There's nothing more boring than a, than a middle aged woman.
00:58:32.460
You shouldn't look for an anonymous group of fellow self pitying whiners to unload that on.
00:58:41.460
It's not okay to feel that way about your children.
00:58:49.460
You are doing the wrong thing and you need to fix it.
00:58:57.460
Big if there, but if you can find a good one, talk to a spiritual advisor, even better.
00:59:02.460
Talk to a priest, talk to a pastor, but after all the talking, it comes back to you.
00:59:09.460
You owe it to your child to give him your love.
00:59:14.460
In fact, you owe it to your family to be happy.
00:59:24.460
And right now you're making a choice that is destroying you and your family.
00:59:29.460
And it will continue to until you stop making it.
01:00:13.460
And what you're doing is you're stretching out of your whiteness.
01:00:20.460
I want to rename the George Washington Monument to the George Floyd Monument.
01:00:42.460
I just had to ask who you are because you have to be careful.
