Transcript

00:00:00.000 U.S. birth rate hits an all-time low, folks, CDC says.
00:00:05.620 All-time low at 1.59.
00:00:10.180 Never in the history of America have you hit 1.59.
00:00:14.480 That's absolutely terrible for America to continue getting bigger.
00:00:20.780 Terrible to be at 1.59.
00:00:22.300 Let me read this number to you.
00:00:23.840 The fertility rate in the U.S. dropped to an all-time low, 1.59.
00:00:26.540 In 2009, children being born per women, inching down from a 1.62 in 2023.
00:00:34.580 According to the U.S. Center of Disease Control, CDC, National Institute,
00:00:37.980 was once amongst a few developed countries and a rate-insured generational replacement
00:00:41.480 in about 2.1 kids per women, but it has been sliding down for nearly two decades.
00:00:46.400 As more women wait longer to have children or opt out entirely,
00:00:50.180 Leslie Root, a Colorado Boulder researcher, focused on fertility and population policy,
00:00:55.700 said, we're seeing that as part of an ongoing process on fertility delay,
00:01:00.100 we know that the U.S. population is still growing,
00:01:02.460 and we still have a natural increase, more births than that.
00:01:06.020 Rob, can you pull up the number, history of birth rate in U.S.?
00:01:11.900 If you can just pull it up going all the way back, I'd be curious to know what that looks like.
00:01:15.000 Tom, your thoughts on the story here, 1.59.
00:01:18.000 Well, guess what?
00:01:18.900 Well, once upon a time, we had a baby boom because men came home from serving in the war.
00:01:25.100 Some didn't at the end of World War II.
00:01:27.800 God rest their souls.
00:01:29.080 Thank you for their service to the family.
00:01:31.660 And we had a baby boom because they came home,
00:01:34.800 and the country of freedom had a booming economy.
00:01:38.480 Things were going on,
00:01:39.400 and the baby boom was a result of people coming home to have families.
00:01:43.260 You know, God tells us, be fruitful and multiply,
00:01:46.560 and it was a largely Judeo-Christian construct there.
00:01:50.200 And now what we have is we devalue life.
00:01:54.820 You know, kids are an inconvenience.
00:01:56.240 Kids are a financial hardship.
00:01:57.540 Kids are this.
00:01:58.280 And we're forgetting what's there.
00:02:00.860 We then turn away from marriage,
00:02:05.640 and we're married less than ever.
00:02:08.240 And we now look back, and we say,
00:02:11.480 no, wait a minute.
00:02:12.200 What's happened?
00:02:13.460 We're not getting married.
00:02:14.360 We're not having families.
00:02:15.680 We're not forming a family.
00:02:17.040 And we're having fewer kids.
00:02:19.020 Well, when you tell everybody that the value of a human life
00:02:22.100 is negligible and is circumstantial
00:02:25.060 because it's all for the best,
00:02:26.420 and maybe you could just have the abortion now.
00:02:28.480 Maybe it's all for the best.
00:02:29.840 And you make it circumstantial financial.
00:02:32.060 Then you tell everybody, you know,
00:02:34.420 about the value of women's independence and things,
00:02:40.020 and you lose family.
00:02:41.560 You lose family.
00:02:42.480 So you lose family as a construct that helps build countries,
00:02:45.300 and then you look back years later,
00:02:46.840 and you look at charts, you go,
00:02:48.220 hey, wow, people are having fewer kids.
00:02:50.320 And that's what's happened over time.
00:02:53.260 Pat, this is the outcome.
00:02:55.200 You know, at times I talk about upstream, downstream,
00:02:58.280 and it's not my theories.
00:02:59.460 This is real.
00:03:00.500 Upstream, we devalued the family.
00:03:03.000 We devalued human life.
00:03:04.700 We told men and women that they didn't have
00:03:07.420 really wonderful roles in society.
00:03:10.100 We told one was better than the other,
00:03:11.840 and one was better than the other.
00:03:13.260 And we did that.
00:03:14.360 And now downstream, what do we have?
00:03:17.180 You know, a shrinking, you know, families in America
00:03:20.340 where this used to be just the most wonderful thing
00:03:24.220 is you want to have three kids?
00:03:25.880 Have three kids.
00:03:27.180 You know, Kim and I would have had more.
00:03:29.460 You know, the calendar caught up with us
00:03:31.180 because we got married late.
00:03:32.900 And I know, Pat, you said you would have had more.
00:03:34.940 I would have 20.
00:03:36.020 Exactly.
00:03:36.940 So it's not...
00:03:38.000 And by the way, when I say 20, people, honestly...
00:03:40.020 They laugh, but you're dead serious.
00:03:41.120 No, no, they think I'm joking.
00:03:42.420 Yeah.
00:03:43.240 I know you're saying.
00:03:43.800 I would have 20 kids.
00:03:46.380 I believe you.
00:03:47.800 Yeah.
00:03:47.920 People look at you like, oh, okay, yeah, whatever.
00:03:49.360 No, no, this isn't sarcasm or joke.
00:03:51.560 I would have 20 kids.
00:03:52.220 By the way, do you know when was the highest we ever hit
00:03:55.000 birth rate in America?
00:03:56.780 Do you know what the number is?
00:03:57.440 The number?
00:03:58.220 Three and a half?
00:03:59.220 We hit 3.77 in 1957.
00:04:04.340 The baby boom.
00:04:05.320 That's right.
00:04:05.680 We're going at it.
00:04:05.940 3.77 in 1957.
00:04:10.060 A couple things to be thinking about, Rob.
00:04:12.080 Can you pull up the average price of a home in 1957?
00:04:18.960 And now we have financial stresses on people.
00:04:22.540 Average price of a house in 1957 was what?
00:04:27.220 Sorry, that's the wrong year.
00:04:28.480 And do you have a multiple on income?
00:04:29.840 You put 1857.
00:04:31.120 Rob just went back 100 years.
00:04:32.720 Civil War vibes.
00:04:33.800 He's like, 1957, the average price of a house was $12,220.
00:04:39.800 Can you tap in the average income?
00:04:41.180 Oh, right there.
00:04:41.820 It says it right there.
00:04:42.360 Income is $5,000.
00:04:44.040 So what is the average?
00:04:45.820 So $5,000.
00:04:46.580 2.4, right there.
00:04:48.200 So 2.4.
00:04:49.340 What is that today?
00:04:51.160 What is the home to price income ratio in 2025?
00:04:56.420 Shout out to Rob.
00:04:57.300 2025.
00:04:58.580 Yeah.
00:04:59.400 Typer.
00:05:00.180 2025, 2.4.
00:05:03.880 That number is going to be, damn.
00:05:07.240 That is insane, guys.
00:05:08.760 That until we figured that out.
00:05:13.240 Five times.
00:05:15.440 Wow.
00:05:16.080 It's five times.
00:05:18.320 That's tough.
00:05:21.580 And you can talk about the property tax insurance costs that are on top of that.
00:05:25.280 Yeah.
00:05:25.860 Yeah.
00:05:27.300 On top of that.
00:05:28.760 And 57, that was very low.
00:05:30.360 And Hillary Clinton, who comes out and says, you know, since Americans are not having kids,
00:05:37.040 this is why we need immigration to come through here.
00:05:38.940 Meaning she was defending why we had, you know, 15 million people come through, whatever that
00:05:43.040 number is.
00:05:43.940 She says, this is why we need immigration.
00:05:45.780 Because we're not, Americans are not having a lot of kids.
00:05:48.140 Oh, my God.
00:05:48.780 What about if we go on a campaign of people making, you know, having families, having
00:05:54.220 kids?
00:05:54.700 What if we go back into the hero making machine?
00:05:57.420 Is that the one where she says that?
00:05:58.580 Yes, sir.
00:05:59.100 Yeah.
00:05:59.400 That's the one, Rob.
00:06:00.120 How many minutes is it?
00:06:01.040 Two minutes, 23.
00:06:01.920 I can see if I can find a shorter one.
00:06:03.100 See how long it takes for it to get into it.
00:06:04.800 Can you listen to it yourself before you bring it to us?
00:06:06.960 Why don't you do that?
00:06:07.600 So, I think, to me, if we're, which, by the way, Sydney Sweeney, man, shout out to her.
00:06:15.640 I love her.
00:06:16.240 Four billion impressions after that commercial.
00:06:19.380 Four billion?
00:06:20.320 Four billion impressions.
00:06:22.300 Holy moly.
00:06:22.720 Yes.
00:06:23.700 $65 million of free marketing dollars spent for American Eagle.
00:06:28.600 Valuation went up $300 million.
00:06:30.700 Her Q score went up.
00:06:32.840 Americans looking at a girl like, oh, my God, you know, I can now go back.
00:06:37.580 Back to being attracted to natural-looking girls.
00:06:42.200 And she got a shout-out from Trump because Trump found out that apparently, I didn't even know Sweeney was a Republican.
00:06:47.700 Watch this one here.
00:06:48.480 Go ahead, Rob.
00:06:49.820 After Sydney Sweeney, it came out to think that she was a registered Republican.
00:06:54.020 Any thoughts on that?
00:06:54.980 Is that who it was?
00:06:55.780 Sydney Sweeney.
00:06:56.740 She's a very hot actress.
00:06:58.040 She's a registered Republican?
00:07:00.280 Oh, now I love her ass.
00:07:02.540 Is that right?
00:07:03.260 Is Sydney Sweeney?
00:07:04.180 Now I love her.
00:07:05.220 You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans.
00:07:07.780 He's right.
00:07:09.080 That's what I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that.
00:07:13.240 If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.
00:07:18.880 Okay.
00:07:19.300 Thank you very much, everybody.
00:07:21.520 He's always out of time.
00:07:22.540 You know, he was on the roof today.
00:07:24.080 He was on the roof of the White House.
00:07:24.960 Yeah, he was on the roof today.
00:07:26.020 But staying on this point here with kids, okay, you know, having the kids.
00:07:31.260 Sweeney, do you have any thoughts on that story with hitting 1.59?
00:07:35.760 I mean, just sitting here listening to it, like, as soon as you started it, I was just
00:07:39.340 like, you know, it's time to get active.
00:07:41.560 Not just blindly going.
00:07:43.960 I need a girl.
00:07:44.560 I need to have a kid.
00:07:45.200 But being more intentional about who you're in.
00:07:47.020 We're in Vegas.
00:07:47.840 I mean, it's just like.
00:07:49.480 I get it.
00:07:50.380 But I mean.
00:07:50.880 Wait till we get back to Florida, at least.
00:07:52.560 I would wait.
00:07:52.920 Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, I have stuff in the pipeline.
00:07:55.780 No, I would wait.
00:07:56.660 I would wait till we get back.
00:07:57.640 No, but being intentional.
00:07:58.960 Vinny's actually really thinking about it right now, right afterwards.
00:08:01.900 To pull the trigger?
00:08:02.760 Gonna go find a masseuse.
00:08:03.680 Yeah, no, but I think being more intentional and putting yourself in a situation where you're
00:08:08.360 going to meet someone, filter out people, like going to a nightclub right now and meeting
00:08:12.080 a girl and expecting to start a family is stupid.
00:08:15.700 I think Adam disagrees with you on that, but go ahead, Adam.
00:08:18.200 No, maybe old school, but I have some cologne for you and some old Barry White CDs.
00:08:21.780 Yeah, but I mean, it's like the numbers.
00:08:23.360 What do we talk about here?
00:08:24.520 Words talk, numbers scream.
00:08:25.740 The numbers are screaming and it's loud.
00:08:27.940 And yeah, I think getting active is the way to go.
00:08:32.360 Adam, what's on your mind on this?
00:08:33.820 I think in America, we need to make moms great again.
00:08:38.220 So in America, in my experience, we are way more focused on individualism than collectivism
00:08:45.220 and improving society.
00:08:47.100 Everyone wants to do what's right for them.
00:08:48.680 And I'm totally understanding of that.
00:08:50.840 But I'm actually in the selfish camp.
00:08:53.700 Pat and I talk about being selfish versus selfless.
00:08:56.480 The time frame for a man to be selfish is a little bit different from a woman to be selfish.
00:09:02.120 So remember when the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs?
00:09:06.520 Harrison Bucker.
00:09:07.080 Harrison Bucker went and gave a speech in front of the Catholic school.
00:09:10.360 And he's like, congratulations on graduating, everybody.
00:09:13.820 But quick point, ladies, don't focus on a career.
00:09:17.480 Focus on family.
00:09:18.360 Career will not fulfill you.
00:09:20.380 Family will.
00:09:21.340 And then the women in the crowd are like, whoa, I just graduated.
00:09:24.920 Let me at least get a job before you give me this lecture.
00:09:27.940 And I'm here to tell you this.
00:09:29.640 Harrison Bucker is absolutely right.
00:09:31.680 Going down the path where you're putting your career first and you never have a family, as a woman, is very problematic.
00:09:37.900 Now, as a man, I also encourage you to eventually have kids.
00:09:41.420 I don't have kids yet.
00:09:42.540 I've had a lot of practice.
00:09:44.080 But eventually I want to have kids and I will have multiple kids.
00:09:48.700 That is my plan.
00:09:49.820 But the difference between a man being in his 40s versus a woman being in her 40s, a man, I think there's an 80 plus percent chance of a man in his 40s with no medical involvement whatsoever to have kids.
00:10:04.340 That's with no medical involvement.
00:10:06.000 A woman in her 40s, there's less than a 10 percent chance without medical involvement to have kids.
00:10:10.920 So the odds are not on your side.
00:10:12.680 For the gentleman out there, if you want to be selfish, if you're in your 30s or 40s and make your money and wait to have kids, totally understand.
00:10:20.040 For women to do that, there's going to be a very problematic situation.
00:10:23.300 I'm not telling women to go back in the kitchen, but by the time you go back in the kitchen, you might not be able to have a baby.
00:10:30.060 What's that?
00:10:30.840 One in the oven?
00:10:31.900 Make daddy a sandwich.
00:10:32.980 Yeah, I think that's what you're saying.
00:10:33.680 Now, can I address one thing what Hillary Clinton said about immigration?
00:10:37.500 Immigration.
00:10:38.040 By the way, let's have him actually play the clip and then let's react to it.
00:10:40.880 Go ahead, Rob.
00:10:41.280 The people who produce the most children in our country are immigrants and they want to deport them.
00:10:47.220 So none of this adds up.
00:10:48.920 But, you know, one of the reasons why our economy did so much better than comparable advanced economies across the world is because we actually had a replenishment.
00:10:58.260 Because we had a lot of immigrants, legally and undocumented, who had a, you know, larger than normal, by American standards, family.
00:11:10.180 So this is just another one of their, you know, make America great again by returning to the lifestyles and the economic arrangements of not just the 1950s.
00:11:23.360 I mean, let's keep going back as far as we can and, you know, see what happens.
00:11:28.820 I can't believe people pay for her to talk.
00:11:31.700 There's a lot of code.
00:11:33.520 There's a lot of code that goes in those discussions.
00:11:36.040 And I find it disgusting because there is a lot of Democrats that were devaluing immigrants.
00:11:41.340 Oh, who will cut your grass?
00:11:42.700 Who will do that?
00:11:43.440 Really?
00:11:43.940 So you need immigrants here and you're only and you're you're you're basically, you know, going to here comes a word, segregate them into the menial side of society, menial jobs.
00:11:53.680 Shame on you.
00:11:54.880 How can you say that?
00:11:55.840 Oh, well, we need immigrants for this.
00:11:57.860 We need you.
00:11:58.380 So you're saying you need immigrants for your standard of living.
00:12:00.640 I'm sorry.
00:12:01.620 It's just that repulses me.
00:12:03.220 And I see I heard a lot of code and some dog whistles in the statements that were made by Hillary Clinton there.
00:12:08.420 And I'm not buying it.
00:12:09.740 And I don't think anybody that's come to this country should stand for it.
00:12:13.040 Stand up.
00:12:13.660 Find yourself a career.
00:12:14.620 Find yourself a place.
00:12:15.580 Build your build your family here.
00:12:17.280 But come here legally.
00:12:18.760 But the whole conversation was involved around making babies and who's making babies and immigration.
00:12:23.780 So America in the future will be Hispanic.
00:12:27.560 Hispanic, the Latinos, the Latino women are making the most babies.
00:12:32.860 I think their fertility rate is above three.
00:12:35.020 Whereas Christians, white women are what's the number?
00:12:37.980 1.6, whatever it is.
00:12:39.780 Now, religious Orthodox Jews, they have the highest rate, but they're not going to be taken over anytime soon.
00:12:45.920 Very few of them.
00:12:47.380 So America will become Hispanic sooner rather than later.
00:12:50.580 Conversely, Europe, the UK, France will be Muslim in no time.
00:12:58.940 What is the number one baby name in England, in the UK?
00:13:02.800 It's not Chandler.
00:13:05.080 It's not Kyle.
00:13:06.600 It's not Willem.
00:13:07.960 It's freaking Mohammed.
00:13:10.680 Mohammed is numero uno.
00:13:12.100 And it's going to happen in Brussels.
00:13:15.060 It's going to happen in Paris.
00:13:16.440 It's going to happen all over the UK.
00:13:18.300 It's going to happen all over the EU.
00:13:20.220 And most people in Europe, you're going to either convert or die in the next 50 years.
00:13:25.780 And I'm not being shocking.
00:13:27.360 And I'm not being bombastic.
00:13:29.260 It's going to happen.
00:13:31.240 So either Europe's going to fight back.
00:13:34.380 Or they're just going to become Muslim.
00:13:36.960 Now, why would I say something like this?
00:13:38.260 Because when it comes to immigration, there's two key points.
00:13:41.360 There's either assimilation or domination.
00:13:45.980 I see evidence.
00:13:46.720 We talk about America becoming Hispanic.
00:13:49.140 All good.
00:13:50.200 Miami, half my friends are Latinos.
00:13:52.020 They're Jamaicans.
00:13:52.820 They're Puerto Ricans.
00:13:53.740 They're Venezuelans.
00:13:54.440 They're Colombians.
00:13:55.100 They assimilate to America.
00:13:56.720 No problema whatsoever.
00:13:58.860 Show me situations where Muslims go into a country and do not end up dominating.
00:14:03.520 By the way, every single Muslim city that is in the Middle East today was formerly Christian.
00:14:12.640 Beirut, Baghdad, Damascus, Tehran, all these cities, Cairo, we're all Christian.
00:14:19.280 They are now Muslim now.
00:14:20.520 I respect the hell out of what the Muslims are doing because they're not playing games.
00:14:25.960 They're here to dominate.
00:14:27.820 And you can either get run over or you can fight back.
00:14:30.600 And in America, I'm totally comfortable with Latinos taking over, especially big booty Latinas.
00:14:36.600 I am not comfortable with Muslims running America.
00:14:40.320 Well, listen, coming to a city near you and Mamdani yesterday was with Elizabeth Warren.
00:14:46.220 Elizabeth Warren saying this is exactly what we need for the Democratic Party.
00:14:50.120 We need exactly somebody like a Mamdani and this is where the Democratic Party needs to go next.
00:14:54.660 I'm not even going to get into that story.
00:14:56.100 I'm just saying that's what they were talking about yesterday.
00:14:59.140 Summer is here.
00:15:00.980 Future Looks Bright gear.
00:15:02.360 We have the matching shirts with the hats, gang.
00:15:05.680 So, Rob, if you can go to it where people can see it.
00:15:08.340 No, you just had to go.
00:15:10.040 If you go back one where it shows the homepage right there.
00:15:13.520 So to match in, if you can shop the collection, the hats, the shirts, the colors matching with each other.
00:15:19.020 This is the shirt that Vinny wears, the black Future Looks Bright shirt right there with the silver one.
00:15:23.200 I love that.
00:15:23.800 Every time I see it, because that's elevated, right?
00:15:26.720 It's raised up.
00:15:27.500 It's sick.
00:15:28.180 So if you go up a little bit, I don't know if that one's an elevator or not.
00:15:30.920 Go a little bit higher, Rob, with the hats.
00:15:32.740 The other way, Rob, if you go.
00:15:33.940 Oh, those are the ones that are elevated.
00:15:35.020 These are so sick.
00:15:35.840 Look at that.
00:15:36.940 Matching.
00:15:37.320 So summertime, go sport your future.
00:15:39.480 Yesterday, we're walking on Vegas.
00:15:41.200 Guys got Valuetainment shirt on, Valuetainment hats on.

00:15:44.000 Now we're seeing it all over the place.
