Latest / The Lila Rose Show / E35: Beauty, Marriage and Overcorrection with Zuby
Transcript
- 0:00Both divorces and happy, successful marriages have a
- 0:03contagion factor. Why do you think so many young
- 0:07men and even a lot of young women, are afraid of marriage?
- 0:10It's because they saw it fail for their parents.
- 0:13The thing that makes me most crave and desire being with a
- 0:17woman for life and having a bunch of kids and living that
- 0:19happy life is seeing other people doing it.
- 0:26Zooby, thanks for coming on the podcast.
- 0:28Good to see you. All right, so we talked about
- 0:30some other stuff over at the Live Action exclusive Space and,
- 0:33but just for people listening who don't know who you are,
- 0:36you're a very interesting person.
- 0:38You've got a lot of background here.
- 0:39But for people who don't, who may not know you yet, who's
- 0:43Zubi? Sure, So and.
- 0:44What's your last name? You are like Zubi, but what is
- 0:48the? Last name.
- 0:48I love the fact that people know me just by the one.
- 0:50My last name is Udeswe. But yeah, I'm a rapper.
- 0:55Author, podcast host, public speaker and coach.
- 1:00Born in England, raised in Saudi Arabia, family background from
- 1:04Nigeria and international traveler.
- 1:07A lot of people know me for a lot of different things.
- 1:10Some people know me through my music, other people through
- 1:13social media, Twitter in particular, others through my
- 1:17stuff I do with like health and fitness.
- 1:19Suffered into health and fitness books.
- 1:21One for adults called Strong Advice.
- 1:23One for children called The Candy Calamity.
- 1:26So a lot of people all over the world know me for a lot of
- 1:28different things. But ultimately I'm someone who
- 1:31uses my voice to communicate messages of common sense,
- 1:36positivity, independence, self improvement in all aspects.
- 1:42My goal is to positively inspire and impact over 10 million
- 1:45people. I'll probably ramp that up to
- 1:48100 million people. So yeah.
- 1:50Was that your original goal when you started?
- 1:52The original goal was to positively impact and inspire
- 1:541,000,000 people, and given I have more followers than that
- 1:58just on Twitter now, I would like to think I've achieved that
- 2:01first one. Nice, I like this.
- 2:03Use the Twitter for good. It's like it can be done, right?
- 2:06It's tempting sometimes not to like sometimes I want to go at
- 2:09people, but I I resist. I try to be Christ like.
- 2:12That's good, OK, You try to be Christ like.
- 2:14So it sounds like faith is a motivation here.
- 2:16Yeah, one of many. Tell me about.
- 2:18Tell me about that. I think it would.
- 2:20Be Christ like. What does it mean to be Christ
- 2:22like I think it means to try to behave and treat other people in
- 2:29in the way that Jesus would. It's sort of sort of what it
- 2:33says on the tin and. We're gonna get one of those
- 2:37tins. Yeah.
- 2:40So that's a. Good little business idea right
- 2:42there. So I think, you know, a
- 2:44combination of stoicism, patience, trying to, you know,
- 2:50obviously being loving and being kind towards people, generosity,
- 2:54trying to be helpful. I live my life honestly trying
- 2:57to be in service of other people.
- 3:00And it's funny because people who don't know me or don't
- 3:03really pay attention or just see little bits or whatever here,
- 3:06you know, I've had people, this is random people on the
- 3:09Internet, not people who know me in the real life, but you know,
- 3:12people who think, oh, you know, Zooby is arrogant or selfish or
- 3:15self-centered or whatever, or, you know, lacks humility.
- 3:18It's like if I were actually those things, I wouldn't be able
- 3:20to do the things that I do and I wouldn't have chosen to because
- 3:25in many ways, yes, I love my life, but I've made my life a
- 3:28lot harder than it sort of needed to be.
- 3:30Through many of the decisions that I've made and all this
- 3:33adventure I'm going on. If I didn't have a genuine love
- 3:36and passion for my fellow human beings, no matter how much they
- 3:39annoy me sometimes, I wouldn't be able to travel the way that I
- 3:43do and connect with all these people and do all these
- 3:46interviews and podcasts and live events and make all this music
- 3:48and write books. All of that stuff to me is
- 3:51trying to nudge humanity in a positive direction.
- 3:56It's why I'm so into health and fitness.
- 3:57It's not just about having big biceps or you know, having a six
- 4:00pack or whatever. It's like, I want people to be
- 4:02healthier, right? I want people to be healthier
- 4:05physically, mentally. I want people to have better
- 4:08relationships with themselves and with other people.
- 4:11I want people to maximize their own potential and skills and use
- 4:15their voices and their skills and their talents and their
- 4:17experiences for good. I want people of all different
- 4:21sorts of walks of life to be able to coexist peacefully and
- 4:25not be at each other's throats all the time, not be trying to
- 4:28hurt, kill, maim one another, all all of that stuff.
- 4:33And it's challenging because, you know, we've got 8 billion
- 4:36people in the world. Human beings are extremely
- 4:37complex. And there's never been any time
- 4:40or place in human history where you have some sort of like,
- 4:42perfect peace and it's all kumbaya.
- 4:44And by definition, it's impossible for even two people
- 4:48to agree, agree on absolutely everything, let alone 8 billion
- 4:51people with all these different perspectives and cultures and
- 4:54languages and barriers. But I do think that we can, I do
- 4:59think we can always do better and we can encourage people to
- 5:03think about various issues and situations, try to see things
- 5:06from different perspectives, try to empathize with one another,
- 5:09and ultimately try to treat people, try to try to treat
- 5:12people well. And I think if you, you know, if
- 5:15you can do a lot of these things, then you'll not only
- 5:18will you be of service to others, but I think you'll also
- 5:20be be, you'll be happy. You'll have purpose and meaning
- 5:22in your life and you'll be content.
- 5:24And I think there's, I think we need more of that.
- 5:26I I love what you're saying. I feel like there are other
- 5:29voices who profess similar things like, oh, I want the
- 5:32world to be in harmony. I want to serve other people.
- 5:35I want to do good. Like I think Bill Gates and his
- 5:38best moments would probably say similar things, right.
- 5:40But I what I like about you and you know, one of the reasons
- 5:43I've actually had you over and we were talking about like the
- 5:45pro-life fight is because you're not just toeing the party line
- 5:50when it comes to sort of the global philanthropist or
- 5:53humanitarian is trying to do good for the world.
- 5:55But they live by a certain of liberal, let's say liberal, but
- 5:59political ideals. And at large, usually they're
- 6:03pro abortion, you know, they're pro population control.
- 6:07So you have this sort of, you know, you're speaking a language
- 6:09that I think resonates with most people, but you're holding fast
- 6:13to certain moral realities that you are willing to clearly say
- 6:17this is a moral reality, You know, strong to kill a baby in
- 6:19the womb. You know, you talk about
- 6:22marriage, you talk about abstinence.
- 6:25Like we don't, you know, going around and sleeping with a bunch
- 6:27of women is not the way to go. I mean, you're, you're sharing
- 6:30these messages. So what shapes that?
- 6:32I mean, you mentioned Jesus Christ.
- 6:34So you know, the, the number one influence.
- 6:37But where did you get that more unique voice?
- 6:41Because it is, it is pretty unique on today's scene.
- 6:45I would I feel like it is. I don't see it a lot.
- 6:48I. Mean, like Tony Robbins, you
- 6:51know, we'll profess some of your ideals maybe in some of the
- 6:53stuff he says, but he's never going to be brave and say
- 6:56abortion's wrong. And like, go out and be
- 6:58courageous, A courageous voice for that kind of a moral truth
- 7:02in a, in a world where, you know, 60 million children have
- 7:04been killed in the US alone, right?
- 7:05So this isn't just some tiny social problem.
- 7:07It's like the greatest one. Yeah, well, I think the the
- 7:10reality is that we live in a time and in a society, and
- 7:15perhaps we always have, where people don't want to rock the
- 7:19cart, people don't want to rock the boat.
- 7:20People don't want to risk offending other people stepping
- 7:24on other people's toes, being criticized, being called names,
- 7:28being called any type of, you know, bigot or phobe or ISM or
- 7:32schism. But do.
- 7:33They do they not want to rock certain votes because like Bill
- 7:37Gates, I think some people hate him for the vaccines or they
- 7:40hate, you know, vaccinating malnourished populations and
- 7:44everything, or that's just for your big pharma or they hate him
- 7:46for pro abortion stuff. But so he doesn't care about
- 7:49some people's opinions, but there's other opinions he cares
- 7:52about. So it's like, whose opinions do
- 7:53you care about? Yeah, well.
- 7:57Yeah. And also like you're saying that
- 7:59large is this sense of people don't want to get in trouble for
- 8:02what they say. Yeah.
- 8:03I on a, on a deep level, if you want, if you want the deep
- 8:06answer, I would say that I fear God, then I don't fear humans,
- 8:10right? I'm not afraid of being.
- 8:12I'd rather be cancelled by man than cancelled by God, right?
- 8:15And I, I mean that on a deep level, right?
- 8:17Not just saying it as a as a cool sound bite, but I do not
- 8:21have this fear that most other people do of Oh my gosh, if I
- 8:28say the wrong thing or I tweet the wrong thing, I'm going to be
- 8:31cancelled or I'm going to lose my job or they're going to come
- 8:32on my sponsors or this or that. And, you know, I have also put
- 8:35myself in a position in terms of my career and my finances and
- 8:39how I've set out my life that I'm largely autonomous and
- 8:43independent. I mean, we all rely on other
- 8:45people to some degree, but I'm not someone who's just got an
- 8:48employer who people can like ring up and, you know, complain
- 8:51to my manager and, you know, get me to lose something.
- 8:53I'm isn't even as a musician, I'm independent.
- 8:56I run and control my own label. And, you know, I distribute my
- 9:00music independently. My podcast is totally
- 9:01independent. Everything I do is independent.
- 9:03I don't have a lot of these attack vectors where if I'm
- 9:06courageous but I've got cowards behind me, then they throw me
- 9:10under the bus. So I position myself in a strong
- 9:14position. But even outside of that, I
- 9:17don't if I'm saying something that I know is true or I simply
- 9:22believe to be correct. I mean, what's the point of
- 9:27having freedom of speech if you are terrified to use it, right?
- 9:31In our countries, in the UK, in the USA and all these nations,
- 9:33people, you know, freedom of speech, freedom versus liberty,
- 9:35you know, fight, fight for the fight.
- 9:37People say all this stuff, but then they're absolutely
- 9:39terrified to say what they actually believe, right?
- 9:41How many people in this country were afraid to say that they
- 9:42voted for Trump? How many of those people in this
- 9:45country are afraid to openly, publicly tell people that
- 9:47they're Christians? I'm.
- 9:48Afraid to say I didn't vote for Trump.
- 9:54Cancel Cancel. No, but you'll get, you know
- 9:56what I'm saying. But it depends who you're
- 9:57talking to. To some degree, yeah.
- 9:59Right, but So what? I'm not I.
- 10:01Have shared that publicly, but but the point is I get more
- 10:04Flack in the world that I'm in. I get more Flack 1000% for
- 10:08saying yeah I didn't vote for Trump, then for saying that I
- 10:11do. So it depends on your Yeah.
- 10:13So it. Depends on what the present
- 10:15company you're in is or who your tribe online is or whatever,
- 10:18right? Because people want you to fit
- 10:20very cleanly into a box. And then every assumption they
- 10:24have about that box, they just apply to you and everyone else
- 10:27who they've thrown into it. And that means you don't need to
- 10:29get to know a person, right? There's no nuance there.
- 10:32It's just, OK, you fit this box. So I just expect you to adopt
- 10:36all these other things and to have done all these other
- 10:38things, believe all these other things.
- 10:39Cool, nice, clean. And it's, it's a very sort of
- 10:44binary view. I, I joked on I, I, I said it
- 10:47jokingly, but I think it was maybe one of my more profound
- 10:49comments the first time I was ever on Joe Rogan.
- 10:52And I said, we're living in a day and age where politics is
- 10:54binary, but gender is a spectrum, right?
- 10:59So it's like people want to fit people in very clean boxes.
- 11:03You know, you're on the left, you're on the right, you know,
- 11:04you're a red, you're a blue and you're all these things or
- 11:08you're all these things. And there's no nuance.
- 11:09There's no middle ground. Well, they.
- 11:12It's funny because the the the left does pick their black and
- 11:15white moral issues, but they're just like the inverse.
- 11:19Like, you know, even like with abortion.
- 11:20Oh, absolutely you should have the right to have an abortion.
- 11:23It's like it's a black and white for that.
- 11:25But then another moral issues, they're going to say it's all
- 11:27nuance and Gray. Yeah, I mean.
- 11:28There's the same people who saying you know that, you know,
- 11:30a man can be a woman or a woman can be a man, or you can be
- 11:32neither or you can make up your own whatever.
- 11:35And then 2 seconds later, it's, you know, follow the science,
- 11:37listen to the, you know, and it's like, you know, make up,
- 11:40make up your mind. But I guess all human beings are
- 11:42critical to some degree. Nobody's, nobody's perfect with
- 11:47it. Yeah.
- 11:48So for you, when you're on this journey to influence millions of
- 11:53people, what do you and you want them to be healthier.
- 11:55I think you talked about their physical health and you want
- 11:58there to be more peace. But what is, you know, you've
- 12:01lived a really interesting life. You've been in Saudi, you know,
- 12:04spent years growing up in Saudi Arabia, UK, you've travelled the
- 12:08world. How many countries have you been
- 12:09to? 37, I think 30.
- 12:11Seven countries. What's your favorite country, by
- 12:13the way? I have different ones for
- 12:16different reasons. Nuance.
- 12:18Yeah. Nuance, nuance, different thing.
- 12:20You know, there's places I like to visit, but I maybe wouldn't
- 12:22want to live there so. USA would be Is that USA?
- 12:26The USA is my favorite country in certain aspects.
- 12:29It's the best country for I It's the one that I have the most
- 12:32fans and supporters in. It's the one that most majority
- 12:36of my business comes from. It's got incredible diversity.
- 12:41It is still, I think, the country with the greatest
- 12:44opportunity overall, regardless of who you are or what sector
- 12:49you are in this. You know, there's a reason that
- 12:52the American Dream is an existing term.
- 12:54There's no such thing as the French dream or the British
- 12:55dream or the Australian Dream. The American Dream is a real
- 12:58thing. It's why so many immigrants can
- 12:59come over to this country and just, you know, crush it 'cause
- 13:01they can take advantage. They can see number one, and
- 13:04then take advantage and feel grateful for all these
- 13:06opportunities that perhaps a lot of native people themselves
- 13:09don't even see 'cause they're just used to it and it's their
- 13:12default and they haven't really seen outside of it, so they take
- 13:14it for granted. So the USA is great in many
- 13:18regards. You know, I, I, I, I like the
- 13:22UK, but I wouldn't want to live there again.
- 13:25Obviously I'm drawn to, you know, I grew up in Saudi Arabia.
- 13:28I do like Saudi. I'm drawn to the middle, the,
- 13:30the Middle East in general. I like the UAEI like a lot of
- 13:33European countries. I've been to, you know, Czech
- 13:36Republic many times. I liked it over there.
- 13:38I've been to Hungary. I liked it over there.
- 13:39I like Central and Eastern Europe in general because I
- 13:41think they've got a good balance between, for lack of better
- 13:45terms, conservatism and liberalism.
- 13:46They're still kind of like, they're just saying you kind of
- 13:49have all the rights and freedoms that you would in somewhere like
- 13:51the UK. But they haven't gone, they
- 13:53haven't gone woke. They haven't gone into all the
- 13:55nonsense. They've maintained some of their
- 13:56traditions and things like that. But there's so many beautiful
- 13:59parts of the world. I I've been to a lot of
- 14:01countries, but I genuinely feel like I've barely scratched the
- 14:03surface. There's, I haven't even set foot
- 14:05in South America. Oh.
- 14:07Wow, That's going to be a big one.
- 14:09Yeah. How many countries do we have,
- 14:10right? We were talking about this
- 14:11earlier, so you said one. 95 depends on exactly how they're
- 14:14counted. 5 yeah, most most people would say 195 or 196.
- 14:17I think you've got, it can go up to like 205 I think if you
- 14:20include like not, you know, you have these kind of like
- 14:24independent territories and things like that.
- 14:26It depends on how you count it. OK.
- 14:27But you're already at 37. I think I'm only at like 15 or
- 14:30something. So you're, but you're, you're,
- 14:33you're getting there. I mean, so when you go to Latin
- 14:35America, I mean, I'm curious what your thoughts are going to
- 14:37be. But going back to like, so
- 14:39you've been all these places. What do you think is the most
- 14:42important thing missing today in public discourse?
- 14:47That is basically that people, because they're, they don't
- 14:50understand it. This thing, these things,
- 14:53they're miserable. They're hurting each other,
- 14:55they're hurting themselves. I would say perspective and
- 14:58gratitude. And this is one of the reasons
- 15:01why I'm a big advocate for travel and an advocate for free
- 15:05flow of conversations, because we all have a default, right?
- 15:09If you are born and raised in Los Angeles and you barely leave
- 15:14California and you've never left the USA, your default is a
- 15:18certain mindset and way of seeing the world.
- 15:22And you're surrounded by people who also are going to see the
- 15:25world the same way. And you've, you know, yeah,
- 15:28there, yeah, there'll be some diversity there intellectually
- 15:31and in other ways. But it's a very limited
- 15:34perspective. If somebody is born and raised
- 15:38in, I don't know, in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia, and they've never
- 15:45left the country. They've never been to the West
- 15:47at all. They haven't even been to other
- 15:49Arab countries that like, that's just what they see and what they
- 15:51know or, you know, someone raised in a village in China or
- 15:54wherever it is, it doesn't matter.
- 15:56That's, that's everyone. That's your baseline, that's
- 15:59your default. But if that's all you have, then
- 16:02sure, you can meet people from other places and, you know, you
- 16:05can read Wikipedia articles and you can go on Google and learn
- 16:07and read books about other places.
- 16:09But until you actually go somewhere and you meet people
- 16:12and you experience the culture and the way of life and the
- 16:15climate and just the way things look and all of that, you won't
- 16:19have a, you won't have a great baseline 'cause you have nothing
- 16:22to compare to, right? So I think it's good to just
- 16:25even have different reference points to compare things to.
- 16:28So the the way even you being able to ask me the question,
- 16:31like, what is your favorite country?
- 16:33If I'd only been to 1, I I'd just be like, well, you know,
- 16:37England, right? That's where I was born.
- 16:39It's the best, right? And it's like, well, how do you
- 16:41know? Like you haven't been anywhere
- 16:42else. You might think England is the
- 16:44best. And who knows, maybe it could be
- 16:45out of the one of or you. Or you idealize a country you've
- 16:48never been to or don't really understand.
- 16:50Yeah. And, and I find that travelling
- 16:52absolutely gives people a a wider perspective.
- 16:55And with that perspective comes a sense of gratitude and that
- 16:59and that goes in all directions. It gives you a better
- 17:02perspective and gratitude for your own home country.
- 17:05You can actually see the things you know, as an American who's
- 17:08traveled to 14 or 15 other countries and you have those
- 17:11reference points. You can go, hey, look, these are
- 17:12the things the USA actually is doing really well at.
- 17:16These are the things that are great that we should be proud
- 17:18of, that we and then you can also be, you know, these are
- 17:20also things we can improve on, right?
- 17:21I went to this country and that country and you know, I was in
- 17:23Europe and like, actually the food quality was a lot better,
- 17:25right? The food wasn't full of garbage
- 17:27ingredients. Not everything was full of soy
- 17:29and vegetable oil and high fructose corn syrup.
- 17:31And I could eat the wheat and I didn't feel bloated and this and
- 17:33that. So, oh, maybe we could learn
- 17:35some things from Europe. Oh, you know what?
- 17:37I went to that place. And the way that they manage
- 17:39this aspect or their architecture or whatever, it's
- 17:41actually way better than it is over here.
- 17:43Like, yeah, I mean. That you can't debate with
- 17:45architecture in. Europe, yeah.
- 17:46So yeah, 'cause it's just. Old and beautiful.
- 17:49Exactly. Most of modern architecture is
- 17:51just such a it's horrible, an unbelievable nightmare.
- 17:55There's a few bright spots, but it's just like, what were we
- 17:57thinking? I think this is, I think it's
- 18:00because, you know, the the truth is the most beautiful buildings
- 18:03and the most beautiful art in the world is created to honor
- 18:07God. If you think about it right, the
- 18:09most beautiful buildings in the world, the cathedrals, you know,
- 18:12like churches, you know, some of these mosques, some of the
- 18:14paintings and the statues and all this stuff.
- 18:16Typically these were designed and built by religious people to
- 18:21hire honor the the highest thing.
- 18:23Architecture today is just about functionality or.
- 18:26Not even it's. Some of it's not even function
- 18:29anymore. But but that, but that's all it
- 18:30is. It's just functional.
- 18:31It's like, well, why should I, you know, I've, I've actually
- 18:33had this debate with people because, you know, I was talking
- 18:36to some, some of my Christian American friends and I was
- 18:38talking about how like when I'm in some parts of the USAI can't
- 18:41tell if something is a bank or a church or a gym or a Walmart.
- 18:45Like it's the same building, right?
- 18:47Like there's, there's churches that look like Pizza Hut.
- 18:50And I'm like, you know, it's good to have a church, but why
- 18:53not make it beautiful, right? Like.
- 18:55They kind of floss the sense of what is beauty.
- 18:59And part of that's arrogance maybe, and part of that's
- 19:01ignorance, arrogance because we see kind of beauty like you go
- 19:05out and see like Saint Peter's, you know, in Italy and you're
- 19:08like in Vatican City, you're like, Oh my gosh, this is
- 19:11beautiful. But if you're ignorant of it,
- 19:14it's hard to it's hard to do it yourself, right?
- 19:17And then if you're arrogant about it, like I can do
- 19:18something, I'm gonna do something more like inventive.
- 19:21And then you go and create Pizza Hut.
- 19:22But. That's what because you, you
- 19:23have that perspective, right? A couple weeks ago I was at the
- 19:26the Duomo in Milan. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
- 19:31Just I was in awe outside, inside, just looking at.
- 19:34I was like this. I was like you.
- 19:35No one makes stuff like this anymore.
- 19:37Like this does not exist with all our.
- 19:39Technology, yeah. It's crazy.
- 19:41You think this was built 100. It made hundreds of years ago
- 19:44and the intricacy and the detail, I'm like, gosh, like the
- 19:45amount of thousands of years of man time that was just put into
- 19:50this to honor God and to create this, you know, building of
- 19:55worship, even even just in terms of the art, in terms of music,
- 19:58paintings, all these things, you know, they've all they've all
- 20:01gone downhill. And again, I think that's kind
- 20:02of that's kind of inevitable if you know, it's just come.
- 20:07And I think people have also forgotten that beauty in itself
- 20:09is a function. There is value in something
- 20:13being beautiful. What?
- 20:14Is beautiful. How do you define beauty?
- 20:17Wow. It's a combination of objective
- 20:20and subjective standards. Are we talking about?
- 20:25Are we talking about buildings? Are we talking about women?
- 20:28Are we talking about? Well, there's a sort of like
- 20:31there's a sort of, you know, all perfect beauty is going to be
- 20:34true and it's going to be good and there's harmony to it,
- 20:40proportionality to it. And I think there's principles
- 20:43that cross from a woman to a building to a, you know, meaning
- 20:47like in in the human person. Like there's, if you see
- 20:50goodness and truth in someone, usually they're seem beautiful
- 20:53to you, like overall. And then obviously with their
- 20:56face and their features and stuff.
- 20:57Beauty often includes symmetry. Yeah.
- 21:00It's hard to describe, but you know when you see it, right?
- 21:03You know when you see it. Even someone who doesn't really
- 21:05think about these things, if you show, OK, here's an ugly
- 21:07building, here's a beautiful building.
- 21:08Like everyone can tell, Everyone can tell the difference.
- 21:11You know, you know when it comes to people, when it comes to
- 21:15anything, right, a beautiful table versus an ugly table,
- 21:18people can tell the difference. So exactly how to verbalize
- 21:22that? I'm not sure why are.
- 21:23People creating such ugly stuff now though, because I think
- 21:26you're right. I think when you see it, you
- 21:27know it. You're kind of captivated by it.
- 21:29That's the power of beauty. But we're producing such ugly
- 21:33stuff. I have two perspectives on this
- 21:35actually. I've never even thought of this,
- 21:37but as soon as you asked it, I, I, I think one part is just like
- 21:41I said, just the, the, the laziness and the and just
- 21:45something just being functional, right?
- 21:47As long as it functions, it doesn't need to.
- 21:49We don't need to go beyond functionality, right?
- 21:51You can just have a grey box ugly building and you know, as
- 21:54long as it does its function and it doesn't fall over and even.
- 21:56The functionality is often really limited, Yeah.
- 21:58Because it's like, what funk to what end function like so I can
- 22:01go eat my KFC. Yeah.
- 22:03As opposed to I can have a beautiful meal with my family
- 22:05and like, honor my family with this beautiful space or.
- 22:07Yeah. And.
- 22:08The lower the ideal, the lower the standard for the beauty,
- 22:10right? Yes.
- 22:11So that is why. That is why the most beautiful
- 22:13buildings are things like cathedrals, right?
- 22:16Because that is to ultimate, that is to honor the ultimate
- 22:19good, right? And then if you have a a place,
- 22:22you know, the room in your where you eat your family meals is
- 22:25probably going to be more beautiful and you will make it
- 22:27more beautiful than the room where you eat your snacks with
- 22:31your coworkers. Or park your car.
- 22:33Or park your yeah, exactly right.
- 22:35Because they're they're different levels and standards.
- 22:38So I think the reason why there's not as much beauty being
- 22:40created in the world right now is because that ultimate highest
- 22:44power, fewer and fewer people are believing in that and
- 22:48creating things in honor for that.
- 22:50So that's why you just kind of fall back into the
- 22:52functionality. I do think that there is also a
- 22:55bit of a cynical thing that's going on with some elements of
- 22:58society where things are being uglified intentionally.
- 23:04Yeah. I think there there is a bit of
- 23:07an attack on beauty and an attack on aesthetics and you,
- 23:12you, you see it, right? Like there's even I don't know
- 23:16when it comes to to modeling, right, If you female models
- 23:19right there was OK, Like we want them to be beautiful.
- 23:22We want to have a certain standard that's aspirational,
- 23:26right? It's not just about looking like
- 23:27the complete average person. It's like it's aspirational on a
- 23:30Men's Fitness magazine, right? You don't just want the average,
- 23:34average American or British man on the front cover.
- 23:36No, you want the guy who's like super Jack fitness model with
- 23:39like amazing proportions and shoulders and pecs.
- 23:41And it's it's an aspirational figure.
- 23:43You look at superheroes, Superman, Batman, spider man,
- 23:46cyclops, like they're all jacked.
- 23:48You know, you can see their ABS through there.
- 23:50You can see their ABS through their outfits, everything like
- 23:52that. And it's, it's an ideal, right?
- 23:53It's it's something that, you know, a young boy or a young man
- 23:56is like, oh, cool. You know, I want, I want to look
- 23:58like Arnold, I want to look like Sylvester Stallone.
- 24:00I want to look like Batman, I want to look like Superman,
- 24:02whatever. And I think there's something
- 24:04cool about that aspirational thing.
- 24:07Whereas now it's like, oh, no, that's an unrealistic body
- 24:10standard, right? You know, we're going to harm
- 24:12people's mental health and this and this let's let's make I
- 24:14mean, if you go in the stores now, some of the mannequins are
- 24:16fat, right? Like the mannequins that they
- 24:18hang the clothes on. And you know, there's on the
- 24:21cover of women's magazines in particular, like they'll might
- 24:24just put a morbidly obese woman on there.
- 24:27But do you? Think the extreme can go in both
- 24:28directions? Oh.
- 24:29Oh, absolutely. Because.
- 24:30I think the kind of the, the, the, you know, the oversized
- 24:34mannequin or the plus size mannequin in some ways is a
- 24:38response to another extreme, which is like a hypersexual
- 24:41synthetic version of women. And so I think, I think that the
- 24:46intentions are mixed, right? I do think there's intentions,
- 24:49I'm sure from some that ideologues are like, we're just
- 24:52going to like suppress beauty as, as it like true beauty and
- 24:56just kind of create, I don't know, sameness or in their
- 25:00pursuit of diversity. Basically to say, well,
- 25:02everything is equal, right, in terms of its beauty.
- 25:05So you're not allowed to say one thing is more beautiful than
- 25:06another. But at the same time, like there
- 25:09are like true beauty is not a, a, you know, a thin, a super
- 25:14skinny model, right? I don't I, I, I mean, you can
- 25:17make that argument of course, but I think there's a there's a
- 25:21thread here that can be positive.
- 25:24There, there can be. Look, I think, I think we, I've,
- 25:27I've, I say this often that we live in the age of
- 25:30overcorrection, right? If you think about it, this,
- 25:33This is why I think so many, This is why I think so many
- 25:36people liked the 1990s and the 2000, the, the, the 1990s and
- 25:40the 2000s I think were, that's why it's, it's a factor.
- 25:43But I think that's when most Western countries achieved the
- 25:48harmony and optimal balance, right?
- 25:52Stuff was just balanced. It was like, OK, cool, we've
- 25:54overcome the the racism and the sexism and the vicious
- 26:00homophobia and the segregation and all these other things
- 26:04throughout these decades, previous decades and centuries
- 26:06that right, that people got wrong and that people were just,
- 26:09you know, way too much hostility and division and mistreatment of
- 26:13people, right? We've overcome that level of
- 26:15genuine bigotry and we just have this moment, this 20 year
- 26:21period, let's say where cool. Like we've we've just got the
- 26:25balance. People are not at each other's
- 26:27throats. The political climate isn't
- 26:28crazy. Yeah, sure, you've got
- 26:30conservatives and liberals, but they're not like at each other's
- 26:32throats. There's not a major, they
- 26:34weren't major culture war like not not like it is now.
- 26:36We're having major culture wars going on and things are so
- 26:39polarized that, you know, even if you say that, you know, a man
- 26:44doesn't get pregnant, that that was not a conservative statement
- 26:47just, you know, 10 years ago or 20, let alone 20 years ago.
- 26:51So I think that what's happened is everything has overcorrected,
- 26:55right? So this is now where you get the
- 26:57quote UN quote anti racist movement has become racist,
- 27:00right? The quote UN quote feminists
- 27:03have become, you know, in some cases man hating, you know,
- 27:07almost female supremacist types or you've got the other branch
- 27:10of it where they don't even know what a woman is anymore.
- 27:12And they've actually adopted switched into becoming a not
- 27:16even a men's rights movement, but like confused men's
- 27:21supremacy movement that dominates women and even
- 27:23threatens them if they don't get on board.
- 27:25You had the people who even do support abortion go from safe,
- 27:29legal and rare. It's a necessary evil.
- 27:31Don't don't really like it, But maybe, you know, we need this
- 27:33thing to, you know, shout your abortion and abortion is good
- 27:37and abortion is pro social and, you know, people making tik toks
- 27:40of them going to whoa, like massive overcorrection.
- 27:43You see it in the political discourse, right?
- 27:45The way that you can go on social media now and you'll
- 27:48you'll see old people who should know better, people who are 70
- 27:51plus throwing insults and vicious barbs at each other on
- 27:55social media like their children on a playground, right?
- 27:59In the past, yeah, there was always put political discourse
- 28:01that could debate, it could get spicy.
- 28:03But the level of personal attacks and pettiness and just
- 28:07childlike behavior, like it's all, it's all just
- 28:10overcorrected. It's just, you know, it's it's
- 28:12gone, all right? We've we overshot the mark on
- 28:15all these things happening simultaneously.
- 28:17You could argue that absolutely, you know, if you go back to the
- 28:20to the 80s or 90s or maybe even before that, you know, this
- 28:25female ideal of, you know, the ultra skinny size 0 anorexic
- 28:29type looking model that is being kind of put in everyone's face.
- 28:34OK, that's encouraging. Even in some cases eating
- 28:37disorders and body dysmorphias and stuff like that for young
- 28:40girls. OK, maybe we want something
- 28:42that's a little more in line with, you know, a health, an
- 28:46actual healthy body and what a woman most one more of what
- 28:49women look like. But Nope, we overshot.
- 28:52Now you're putting morbidly obese people on magazine covers
- 28:56and telling people, telling women they can be healthy at any
- 28:58size. Fat is beautiful, big is
- 29:00beautiful. You know, anyone who even has a
- 29:02problem with that, it's because they're a bigot or because men
- 29:05are sexist or actually, if you don't like obese women, it's
- 29:07'cause you're racist. I've seen that argument and it's
- 29:09just like, what are we, what are we doing here?
- 29:11Right? So I think all of these things
- 29:13are examples of overcorrection and it's causing a lot of
- 29:17problems. I I've said before something
- 29:19I've quoted a few times, it's a quote of mine, I'm quoting
- 29:22myself, but I've said that any, any social movement without a
- 29:26clearly defined finish line will end up becoming what it
- 29:30initially sought to fight against, right.
- 29:32So if you start out wanting to combat this thing, but you, you,
- 29:37you, you achieve the goal or you achieve the balance and you just
- 29:40keep on going, eventually the people pushing that become the
- 29:44actual bigots and the genuinely intolerant and well, that's.
- 29:47So true. I mean feminism is case in point
- 29:49there. And I I've gotten criticism for
- 29:51daring to say that the original feminists got it right when it
- 29:54came to yes, women are equal to men in dignity and they should
- 29:58be treated equally under the law and yes, they should be able to
- 30:01vote and work. But then we took the power that
- 30:03we had and we weaponized it against men and we weaponized it
- 30:08even the worst against children. And now to be a feminist is to
- 30:11be pro abortion. It's absolutely disgusting.
- 30:15And that that was part of the problem in the 90s too.
- 30:17So there was I'm here. I mean, how old were we in the
- 30:2090s? I think you're just a few years
- 30:21older than me. But like, how?
- 30:23I mean, yeah. I mean, so it's hard to, you
- 30:26know, I think we always look back.
- 30:28I think this is older generations too.
- 30:30And you look back at your childhood with Rosie colored,
- 30:32rose colored glasses, like it was good in the old days.
- 30:34You know, now the kids are crazy.
- 30:37But you know, we had horrible abortion rates, even higher
- 30:39actually in the 90s than we have now.
- 30:42But it's because feminism is like, OK, we won these things,
- 30:45but now we want what we need to keep.
- 30:47We're just going to keep fighting.
- 30:48You know, it wasn't just we. We got the right to vote.
- 30:50We got the right to work, the right to not be fired if we're
- 30:52pregnant. And now it's like, we're going
- 30:54to go kill babies. Yeah.
- 30:55And and what, and what's funny is you know, the other elements,
- 30:59Oh gosh, I didn't even bring over the oh, the biggest
- 31:01overcorrection, the whole LGBTQ plus 2A APXYZ movement, right?
- 31:07I mean, you started literally as LGB, LGB, like every couple of
- 31:11years they're literally adding letters to the thing.
- 31:13The LGB is not even relevant anymore.
- 31:14It's all about the T now and the T's and the Q's and it's again,
- 31:19it's, it's overshot its mark. It went from it went from hey,
- 31:22hey, you know what? Let's stop like, let's stop gay
- 31:27bashing. Let's stop like being viciously
- 31:30discriminatory and calling people the F word.
- 31:33And you know, doing this and doing that, Let's be let's have
- 31:36genuine tolerance in society and not mistreat people based on
- 31:41these various things, right? That was the original thing,
- 31:45right? Actual cool.
- 31:46Like, hey, we want, we want equal rights.
- 31:48We want fair treatment. We don't want to be bullied and
- 31:50beaten up and harassed on the street.
- 31:51Well, it's one thing to not get like, you know, obviously if you
- 31:53have same sex attract, same sex attraction, you should not be
- 31:56bullied, you should not be fired.
- 31:58You shouldn't. I mean, you, you have equal
- 32:00dignity and I think equal rights to anyone else.
- 32:02But that's different than saying now I'm going to redefine
- 32:05marriage and say I should have the same marriage rights and I
- 32:09should be able to adopt children and do all of these things.
- 32:11Like that's another step. So like the tolerance means
- 32:14different things to different people.
- 32:16It does. It does for.
- 32:17Tolerance for, you know, LGBT movement today.
- 32:19It's like we should be able to, you know, have the same rights
- 32:22as a man woman marriage. We should be able to get adopt
- 32:25children, create children via surrogacy and IVF.
- 32:27Like there's no basically a child doesn't deserve a mother
- 32:30and a father. That's not even a consideration
- 32:33anymore. Well, you know, I'll tell you a
- 32:36a a rights movement that I think our societies probably need as a
- 32:40children's rights movement. Why does that not exist?
- 32:43I think let's do it in in many I'm working.
- 32:46On it a little bit over here yeah, I.
- 32:48I think, I think in a lot of ways, so true the the solipsism
- 32:52and selfishness of adults is being put over the younger
- 32:59generation, right? So there's so many situations
- 33:02where children are not even being considered right in, in a,
- 33:06in a healthy society, adults are willing to sacrifice themselves
- 33:09for children, at least at a minimum, sacrifice their comfort
- 33:12or satisfy their, you know, sacrifice their random selfish
- 33:15wants and desires and feelings and emotions, right?
- 33:19That's how it should be. Children are the future.
- 33:21So you should be willing to, you know, make massive compromises
- 33:24for them. But that's actually become
- 33:26inverted in many ways where, I mean, we saw a grand example of
- 33:29this from 2020 to 2022, even with the whole pandemic
- 33:32response, right? Children were not affected by
- 33:35this virus. That's be real like but.
- 33:37They were right. The response, yeah, but the but
- 33:41the response it was like, you know what, screw the kids like
- 33:44who cares about the kids? Let's shut down all the schools,
- 33:45let's shove masks on 2 year olds, 2 year old 3 year olds.
- 33:48Who cares if like they can't learn to speak?
- 33:50Who cares if like they're getting weirded out by this
- 33:52stuff and and the. Suicide rate is spiking for our
- 33:54teen. And it would none, none of none
- 33:56of the socialized none of that mattered, right?
- 33:58You know, protect grandma, not even that grandma didn't even
- 34:00want this, but that was the that was the notion.
- 34:03So you saw that look, because some adults are scared we are
- 34:07going to sort of sacrifice this much younger generation with the
- 34:11hope, fingers crossed that, you know, by magic, they won't be so
- 34:16affected by this thing. Right.
- 34:17When you're having situations where you're having.
- 34:21Here's something else I've noticed.
- 34:22And you know, these are these are a few small examples, but
- 34:24I'm sure there are some wider ones.
- 34:26But you, you've had some recent prominent examples in the last
- 34:29few years of, you know, married men who have children deciding
- 34:35they want to be women. What is the mainstream society's
- 34:39response to that? Yay, stunning, brave, amazing.
- 34:42You live your truth the most. Popular YouTube in the world Mr.
- 34:45Beast his one of his sort of characters in his films
- 34:50basically I I don't remember his name.
- 34:51Do you remember his name? His name?
- 34:52'S Chris. Chris.
- 34:53I think married man has a beautiful little boy, I think.
- 34:56And now he's out dressing as a woman, saying I'm I'm a, I'm a
- 34:59woman now. And.
- 35:00What's no one talking about? What about your wife and kid?
- 35:04Like it's just. Wasn't there a video he put up
- 35:07he he was putting high heels on his son, his three-year old son.
- 35:10He's now cross dressing his three-year old but.
- 35:12The first person, the whole. Internet said yeah, that's what.
- 35:14I'm saying, right, the response, there's no thought of like,
- 35:16wait, what about what about the kid?
- 35:18What about what about people impacted by this thing?
- 35:20It's just no, you live your truth, you be you be selfish.
- 35:23You like, look, if you're gonna go do that, like at least be at
- 35:25least have the decency to be be single and not be involving
- 35:28other people and your children and whatever.
- 35:31You know, the same thing happened with the whole, you
- 35:33know, Bruce to Caitlyn Jenner situation, right?
- 35:35It was just Oh my gosh, stunning, brave women of the
- 35:37year. Amazing.
- 35:37Like no one is like, wait, doesn't this person have like a
- 35:39whole family? And well, what's?
- 35:41So sad about that. They made reality TV out of the
- 35:43distress of his at the time. I think the the Jenner girls are
- 35:47pretty young, you know, and I think the whole car Jenner, you
- 35:51know, conglomerate is so toxic overall to society.
- 35:55That's another topic, right, But you look at that like that, like
- 35:58is he my dad still? Do I get to call him?
- 36:00Is it I can't say him. You know my my own father.
- 36:03I don't you you lose your father, but now you have to call
- 36:06your father a mother. I mean it's.
- 36:09The whole thing is is weird, but but this is what I mean.
- 36:11I mean, with it, with that whole movement, all these stuff like
- 36:13people do not like there's no one's like all right, What's
- 36:16actually best insane for children.
- 36:19It's just like, no, we've got these ideologies and we want to
- 36:22push this and we want to push this.
- 36:23It's all coming from the adults, right?
- 36:24It's the adults in the room not being adults in the room.
- 36:27And but what do you? Think about these adults that
- 36:29are saying, well my 3 year old wants to be a girl, my boy wants
- 36:32to be. I think it is.
- 36:33That's where it gets really freaky, I think.
- 36:35It is. Have you noticed it's mostly
- 36:37women doing that? I have, and I've noticed it.
- 36:40And as a mother of young kids, I see boys and girls and friends
- 36:45with young kids, they're not like super into gender
- 36:47stereotypes. They will sort of like put on
- 36:50mom's high heels or the little girl will like be interested in
- 36:54what makes a, you know, they, they might not match your
- 36:56stereotypical female or male activities.
- 36:58That doesn't mean their biology is wrong And they're not,
- 37:01they're born in the wrong body. It just means they're a little
- 37:03kid. Oh no.
- 37:04I mean, you know, remember tomboys.
- 37:06I remember those. You're not allowed to be.
- 37:09Like now, now they're like, I was a boy.
- 37:10That was like, all right, we. Interviewed Chloe Cole, and she
- 37:14was just saying no one told me. I mean, this is a girl who at 12
- 37:17years old, didn't know. She was maybe a little bit on
- 37:19the spectrum. She wasn't sure, like, her
- 37:21identity. All the girls are really sexual
- 37:23looking, you know, and feminine. And she was more of a tomboy.
- 37:26And she's like, OK, I guess maybe I'm a boy.
- 37:29She's into like the social media transgender world where they're
- 37:32all these artistic transgender ideology stuff and she's like,
- 37:35maybe that's me. So she they give her a double
- 37:37mastectomy at 15. Insane.
- 37:40Unreal. And then after she's like, what
- 37:41did you do to me? It's.
- 37:43Crazy do the amount of lawsuit I, I, I.
- 37:45Here's one of my predictions. I think that in the next one to
- 37:48two decades you are going to have millions of people who are
- 37:52now young people who are going to harbor incredible animosity,
- 37:58resentment, if not outright hatred for their own parents and
- 38:01for the establishments that allowed this to happen.
- 38:06What's going to happen then? I think.
- 38:07There's going to be giant lawsuits, 10 to let's say 10 to
- 38:1215 years from now. I think there's going to be some
- 38:13huge like cataclysmic lawsuits that are going to be coming down
- 38:17the pipeline. I think that you're going to
- 38:20have a generation, not, not a whole, not not like everybody,
- 38:24but like a significant numbers of people who are going to
- 38:27harbour a lot of perhaps arguably well deserved animosity
- 38:32and resentment towards the, you know, quote UN quote, grown-ups
- 38:35who did not guide them properly and who just let them to, you
- 38:40know, you could, you could think of, think about the consequences
- 38:42of this. You're going to have, I don't
- 38:44know the, I don't know the numbers, but you're gonna have
- 38:46potentially hundreds of thousands or low millions of
- 38:48people, young people in this country and other Western
- 38:52countries who by the time they're 25 or 30 years old, will
- 38:57be infertile. It'll be sterile.
- 38:59They literally will not even be able to.
- 39:01They won't be properly functioning biologically because
- 39:03of the stuff that has been done to them, things that have been
- 39:06added. Yeah.
- 39:06The. #2 service at Planned Parenthood, now that's grown the
- 39:09fastest besides abortion, is giving out hormone treatment and
- 39:12puberty blockers. Yeah.
- 39:13And giving out hormone treatment, I should.
- 39:14Not puberty blockers, but hormone treatments, yeah.
- 39:16And. As we all know which.
- 39:17Which can be. Sterilized and if you're a 15
- 39:19year old and you've been sterilized or you're on the path
- 39:22to being 15 year olds aren't really thinking very far ahead
- 39:25of the line, especially why you don't let them consent because
- 39:27their brains haven't properly developed to think about long
- 39:29term consequences. That's why a 12 year old can't
- 39:31go get a tattoo, right? We understand this with many
- 39:34other things, but people have lost their minds on all these
- 39:37other ones. So I do think that the fallout
- 39:39from this is going to be severe. I think that the the weird quote
- 39:44UN quote, progressive ideologues who are, we know, pushing this
- 39:47or pushing it on their kids are trying to be trendy and, you
- 39:49know, whatever, it's trendy to have a trans child, whatever it
- 39:52is. I think some of those kids are
- 39:53going to hate their parents. I genuinely think that some of
- 39:56them are going to hate their parents, are going to hate what
- 39:58they've done to them, especially the ones who have been like
- 39:59paraded around and, you know, done all this stuff and.
- 40:04A lot of it is going to be justified, but they're going to
- 40:06be the medical establishment, the therapists and the people
- 40:09who are like pushing them all down.
- 40:10What do, what do they call it affirming?
- 40:12You know this whole like affirmation in.
- 40:14California, it's illegal to not affirm.
- 40:17That's insane. Meaning you can't actually treat
- 40:19gender dysphoria. You have to send them down the
- 40:21track of hating their bodies. Yeah, it's.
- 40:23It's, it's utter insanity. This is never, I don't think
- 40:25this has ever happened in human history and I do not think the
- 40:29consequences are going to be positive for for for anybody.
- 40:34But there's a little something hopeful, I think, of what you're
- 40:36saying, which is that in order for them to hate what was done
- 40:38to them, these potentially hundreds of thousands or even
- 40:41millions of people and the lies that they were told, they would
- 40:44have had to woken up to the truth.
- 40:46And that means they could use the pain and, like Chloe, turn
- 40:51it into purpose. Like she's going off and
- 40:52campaigning to save children. But she shouldn't.
- 40:56She shouldn't have had to go through that.
- 40:58For that to. Happen, right it's like I, I
- 40:59would like to stop the car crash before the car crash happens
- 41:05rather than OK, let's let the car crash and then, you know,
- 41:07people walk out injured and have learned from the lesson It's
- 41:11like that's a very severe lesson for people to have to learn,
- 41:15especially when it's so predictable like you can see you
- 41:19can see where it's going you can see the car heading towards the
- 41:22wall or heading towards the Cliff and I'm not a bigot for
- 41:25yelling out stop I'm just saying like look this is this is crazy
- 41:29like think think about what you're doing what you're saying
- 41:31is not even making sense you're they're also opening other very
- 41:34extraordinarily dangerous portals.
- 41:36I, I mentioned this one, I had a conversation with Matt Walsh,
- 41:38which is that they are eliminating the concept of
- 41:41minors not being able to consent.
- 41:43It's so. Scary, and that is.
- 41:44Again, very dark. I I, I tend to think 2nd, 3rd,
- 41:474th order consequences. So if something happens up here,
- 41:50I like to think, OK, what are, what's the natural, what's the
- 41:53logical progression of these ideas?
- 41:56If you say that this is OK, well, what about this, what
- 41:59about that? What about that, right?
- 42:01If you do this thing here, if you push that domino, what's the
- 42:04effect up by the time you get to the third or the 4th or 5th or
- 42:06the 5th domino? And sometimes it's, it's very
- 42:09predictable. It's not that I have a crystal
- 42:10ball. It's just that I can detach my
- 42:12emotions and logically think through some of these arguments.
- 42:16Because if you're saying OK, this is OK, then by extension
- 42:21that next thing is also OK. And it seems like there are so
- 42:25many decisions that are being made and things people are doing
- 42:28and pushing and being activists for and getting caught up in the
- 42:30hype for where they're really not thinking past the 1st order
- 42:33consequences, right? Again, it's not so different to
- 42:36me. I hate talking about the, the
- 42:37pandemic because I despise the entire response to it.
- 42:40But it's the same where, you know, if you, you do certain
- 42:43things there. So right now people are
- 42:44complaining about inflation and the cost of living and this and
- 42:47this. And it's like, well, it's, you
- 42:49know, I and many other people knew that in 2020, if you stop
- 42:53people from working and you shut down businesses and then you
- 42:55pump trillions and trillions into the economy and you give
- 42:57people money for doing nothing, you will get inflation.
- 43:00If you stop children from going to school for a year plus and
- 43:05they're not seeing human faces and whatever, they're going to
- 43:08have some developmental issues. Now you've got tons of children
- 43:11now going to speech therapy and you know, some of them are
- 43:14dealing with sort of weird mental issues.
- 43:17And inside 'cause you know, if, if you were a, you know, you've
- 43:23got young children, right? Maybe they're like young enough
- 43:25that they almost like kind of missed the worst of it.
- 43:27But if you have like, I don't know, a, a A5 year old or a four
- 43:30year old and you know, or a child who was four or five at
- 43:33the beginning of say 2020. And then for like, I don't know,
- 43:391/2 of their life, they're surrounded by all this madness.
- 43:43And you know, they're seeing everyone panicking and they're
- 43:45not seeing human faces and they're not in school.
- 43:47They're not being social. I mean, they're not being
- 43:49socialized. School over Zoom when you're 5
- 43:50years old I. Like, I don't, I don't know
- 43:52exactly all the long term consequences of that, but there
- 43:55will be some because that's not normal, right?
- 43:57We're we're social beings. Like we have to be out there
- 43:59socializing and meeting other people.
- 44:03And and then when you tell, then when you also drill into them
- 44:06that you, hey, you need to stay away from your don't, don't
- 44:08touch your friends, don't touch your family members.
- 44:11Hugs are dangerous. You could kill someone by
- 44:13hugging them. Like that's a really horrible.
- 44:16Even if someone thinks the intention behind it is good, I
- 44:18would say it's absolutely not. But the consequences of that are
- 44:22are real. Like that's not how we we
- 44:25didn't, we didn't grow up like that, right.
- 44:26Well, I. Mean I've been among my friends
- 44:27who have young children because I have a group now we have these
- 44:30like 1-2 three-year olds for having babies and like the the
- 44:33kids that were 1-2 years old newborns during the pandemic.
- 44:37I we all talk about their pandemic babies because they
- 44:41grew up seeing, yes, their parents faces and maybe their
- 44:44grandparents and maybe like a close friend, but they weren't
- 44:47seeing place faces at large, right?
- 44:50There were masks everywhere and there were few social
- 44:52activities. And so like, I think, you know,
- 44:54I do think that children who are two or three today are different
- 44:58than children who are younger because the younger, like even I
- 45:01think about my kids, like there's my youngest son.
- 45:04He didn't grow up with masks. You know, he's he's a one year
- 45:06old. He's just enjoying the world.
- 45:07He smiles at everyone. It's a different experience than
- 45:10my older child had. Yes, it is and it has an impact.
- 45:13It is. And, you know, people forget
- 45:15very basic things. Like one of the ways we learn
- 45:17how to speak is by seeing in people's mouths moving as they
- 45:20speak. So if you cover that up, you
- 45:22know, people are like, oh, there's no downside to masks,
- 45:24whatever. Like even if it doesn't work,
- 45:25there's no downside. I'm like, what do you mean
- 45:26there's no downside? Right?
- 45:28But this is also what happens when people think you need like
- 45:30an extensive peer reviewed study for making obvious, making
- 45:34obvious points, right? I don't have studies for all
- 45:36these things. I know that there.
- 45:38Are. Studies I'm sure there must I'm
- 45:40sure there there will be now, but some of it is just is just
- 45:42common sense, right? I know that if someone is
- 45:44already in prison and they really, really want to punish
- 45:47them, what do they do? They put them in solitary
- 45:49confinement, right? If you're, you've already
- 45:51committed a crime, you, we've already institutionalized you.
- 45:53We really want to punish you. We're putting you in solitary,
- 45:56right? Putting, leaving people, people
- 45:59being isolated and not being able to go outside or interact
- 46:02with other human beings. It drives people mad.
- 46:04It's, it's horrible. We, we've known that for a long
- 46:06time. So all these governments around
- 46:08the world, when they're telling people, you know, just you do
- 46:11that, you know, just stay in this place for, for weeks on
- 46:14end, for months on end. Don't go out, see other people
- 46:17because you're gonna harm them, you're gonna kill them.
- 46:19Then you're hammering them with all these messages of fear.
- 46:21Like it's, it's, it drove a lot of people crazy.
- 46:23And, you know, now people are acting like none of it ever
- 46:25happened, which is very strange. Like, that's one of the weirdest
- 46:28parts. Like, it's kind of like.
- 46:29PTSD it's like. You just blank.
- 46:30Out. You're not gonna.
- 46:32Yeah. And then you maybe recall it in
- 46:33your nightmare, but you don't want to think about it.
- 46:35It's affected. Me.
- 46:36It's affected me permanently and I'm less neurotic than 99% of
- 46:41the population. So if it's affected me, then it
- 46:43certainly affected it certainly affected everybody else.
- 46:47So, yeah, I don't know. I, I just coming back to the
- 46:49original point, though, I think, you know, we need to, I don't
- 46:55know. I, I do, I am, I do worry
- 46:58despite not being a father yet myself.
- 47:01I do, I do worry quite a bit sometimes about like the the
- 47:04younger generation and all these things that have kind of already
- 47:07been hitting them in their relatively short lives.
- 47:09And some of the stuff that people are promoting or pushing
- 47:12or just like not not thinking through.
- 47:15I think there's a lot of people just wanting to, I don't know,
- 47:20have or use children kind of as like props for their.
- 47:24Yeah. And it's weird and it's kind of
- 47:26gross. This goes back a few years ago.
- 47:28But one of the things that also I found something that I kind of
- 47:33I found weird. Do you remember, like, when
- 47:35Greta Thunberg first came onto the scene, and maybe she was
- 47:38like, 14 or 15? And, you know, they were kind of
- 47:42like using this little autistic girl as, like, the battering ram
- 47:48for this whole climate ideology thing.
- 47:51And of course, you know, you can't, no one wants to, like,
- 47:53criticize, let alone, like, attack a child, right, Who
- 47:57you're kind of using as the mouthpiece.
- 47:58But there was something just, like, really weird and
- 48:00disturbing about it all. I was like, shouldn't this go be
- 48:01in school, right. If you want to push this thing
- 48:04like getting a get a grown up to do it, don't be like hiding
- 48:06behind a child and having this like child like you're putting
- 48:09them there and taking them across the world there and using
- 48:12the whole thing was just I don't, I don't know, Yeah, I
- 48:15don't like it, but. That that is like, so even that
- 48:18example is like nothing compared to some of the things you were
- 48:21talking about earlier or abortion.
- 48:23You just slaughter the child if the child's inconvenient.
- 48:26I love what you said earlier about children's rights because
- 48:28I think that is that is the fight that few adults are
- 48:31willing to have because it's it's honestly talking this
- 48:33earlier. I think it's just really dark
- 48:35stuff when you look at the way children are being treated and
- 48:37exploited today. And there's so many ideologies
- 48:40that try to make it okay to deprive children of their
- 48:43parents of, you know, say that they're, you know, totally fine
- 48:46if they have no mother or father.
- 48:47And again, caveat here, if you are a parent and you know you,
- 48:51you die, you know, the child loses the mother or father
- 48:54because of a death or an accident or there's severe abuse
- 48:56or addiction. So the parent can't parent,
- 48:59right? Or abandonment, right?
- 49:00You're a single mom because the guy abandoned you.
- 49:03You are a hero actually, right? But if it's by design, you're
- 49:07designing your life so that the child won't have a father or
- 49:10mother, you know, you're like, well, two dads are just as good.
- 49:13Or, you know, there's the famous San Diego Treble.
- 49:15I don't know if you've heard of this three men who want to
- 49:17create children and they all want to be on the birth
- 49:19certificate so you get all this crazy stuff.
- 49:22But I was talking with Jennifer Roback Morse of the Ruse
- 49:24Institute. She's this PhD in economics, but
- 49:26she does all this work on social studying of these different
- 49:29ideologies. And she talks about, you were
- 49:31talking early about actions of consequences and these ideas of
- 49:34consequences. And she talks about 3
- 49:36ideologies. I want to hear your thoughts on
- 49:38this. Number one, she talks about
- 49:39contraceptive ideology, which is, you know, predates the
- 49:43gender ideology stuff today. And then she also talks about
- 49:45divorce ideology. But contraceptive ideology says
- 49:49people can should have sex and not expect to have children.
- 49:51So it's like your mindset is contraceptions my fail proof.
- 49:55I'm just going to have sex. Sexual libertinism, right?
- 49:58Shouldn't have to be a parent if I don't want to.
- 50:00Oh, shoot, I'm pregnant, OK, I'm going to have an abortion,
- 50:02right. So that kind of ideology seized,
- 50:04I think the modern world, kind of mid 20th century, early 20th
- 50:08century, actually, with the birth control league.
- 50:09Margaret Sanger, You know, you shouldn't, you should be able to
- 50:12have sex and never get pregnant #2 divorce ideology.
- 50:17OK. You shouldn't be able to you,
- 50:18You don't need to get married if you want a child, you shouldn't
- 50:21need to be married. And marriage can be whatever you
- 50:23want it to be if you do get married.
- 50:24And then the last one is gender ideology, but it roots with
- 50:28meaning you're not even you can choose to be a man if you're a
- 50:30woman or a woman if you're a man, but it all starts with
- 50:32misunderstanding sex, an identity like being human to
- 50:38what what it means to be human. What are your what are your
- 50:40thoughts on that? Yeah, that, that's so
- 50:42interesting. I, I've never heard those first
- 50:46two terms. I'd never heard the term of, you
- 50:49know, diverse divorce ideology or contraceptive ideology.
- 50:51Although I've, you know, I've never heard, I've never thought
- 50:54of them as ideologies. But these things are on a, on a
- 51:00social and a cultural level and perhaps even a political level.
- 51:03These are like atom bomb level level events, right?
- 51:08And the impacts of them are so far reaching.
- 51:12It's something I've been thinking a lot about recently.
- 51:14And I made a post online to to this regard, which is that we
- 51:20all know that parenting is important, but I think it is
- 51:24massively underrated and understated just how important
- 51:29and impactful it is. And the reason why I say this is
- 51:31because I think when people think about like family dynamics
- 51:34and raising children or whatever, most people think of
- 51:37it within the realm of that family and perhaps like a very
- 51:41small community, right? So people just think like, oh,
- 51:46OK, if you got this family dynamic and there's a divorce or
- 51:51the kids are raised well or they're raised badly or they're
- 51:54not raised at all or whatever, this impact stays within this
- 51:58little cluster. And that's absolutely wrong,
- 52:01right 'cause if you, the greatest act of service someone
- 52:06can do is raising great children and the greatest disservice you
- 52:10can do to the world is raising horrible children, right?
- 52:14Because you. Children become adults.
- 52:17And we all go on and we impact at a minimum thousands of other
- 52:21people, everybody we interact with throughout our lifetime,
- 52:25everything we go on to do or not do or whatever, this all has
- 52:29repercussions and ripples throughout society.
- 52:32And then most people are also going to have children.
- 52:34And then it impacts future generations in various ways,
- 52:37right, 'cause most, you know, we, we learn from our parents,
- 52:42our environments, our family dynamics, all these sort of
- 52:44things. And this is a bit of a harsh
- 52:46message because you don't choose those, right?
- 52:49You don't choose your parents. You don't choose what family
- 52:51you're born into. If someone was born to horrible
- 52:53or abusive parents, that's not their fault.
- 52:55If someone was born in this dynamic, whatever.
- 52:57It doesn't, It doesn't. But it does affect other people,
- 53:01right? If, if you, if my parents had
- 53:04not raised me well, right. My parents raised me
- 53:07extraordinarily well. I've came from a great family,
- 53:09all these things. And that's made me be a certain
- 53:13type of adult with certain types of morals and values and
- 53:16education and ways of seeing things and talking about things
- 53:19and ways of relating to people that has ripple effects
- 53:23literally on millions of people, right?
- 53:25If I had been raised in a totally different way, if I'd
- 53:28been raised in the opposite way and I myself wasn't able to kind
- 53:31of break out of that in some way.
- 53:32And I went out there and I start, you know, inflicting my,
- 53:36I don't even, you know, the word is overused by inflicting my
- 53:38traumas on other people and treating people this way and
- 53:41that way because, oh, well, you know, my, my dad did that to my
- 53:44mom or this or this or this. And I'm just going around like
- 53:47as a broken person and I'm out there like breaking other
- 53:49people. It ripples all the way through.
- 53:51Then perhaps I have kids and I go on and I perpetuate this.
- 53:54You know, they go on and perpetuate disturbance cycle and
- 53:56it literally ripples all the way down generations.
- 53:58And most people don't think of it that way, right?
- 54:01Another thing that's interesting is, you know, talking about
- 54:03divorce. Let me, you know, bring up
- 54:05something that no one talks about, right, is that both
- 54:09divorces and happy, successful marriages have a contagion
- 54:14factor, right? Because people tend to model
- 54:19things that are around them and things that are normalized or
- 54:22things that are deemed acceptable or unacceptable or
- 54:24whatever. We get our social cues from
- 54:27those things around us, right? If someone grows up in a society
- 54:30or in a community or in a neighborhood where, you know,
- 54:33it's almost all single mothers, deadbeat dads, absent fathers is
- 54:37the norm. Them, their friends, other, you
- 54:40know, everyone they know doesn't have a father in the picture or
- 54:42whatever. And that is the norm to them.
- 54:45It's not going to be a surprise that a lot of those men and
- 54:48women are going to go on and they're also going to repeat
- 54:51certain cycles and patterns. Whereas if you have communities
- 54:54where it's, you know, the norm is being married and staying
- 54:57married and having those in tech units.
- 54:59And that's what you see around you and that's your friends and
- 55:01whatever, then that becomes the thing you aspire to.
- 55:04It becomes the things you name and you know, marriages don't
- 55:06exist in isolation. They exist in a society and in a
- 55:09community and it's glued together.
- 55:11And I think people understood that a lot better in the past
- 55:13than they do now, right? People are so individualistic.
- 55:16They think, oh, it's just this, but there is this, there is this
- 55:19contagion effect that can happen.
- 55:22And something else I've noticed, just anecdotally but I'm sure
- 55:25everyone has experienced this, is that happily married people
- 55:29encourage and want other people to be happily married, right?
- 55:33And divorced. People, yes, and divorced and
- 55:35divorced people. Like it's true, right?
- 55:38Like they like they go out there and they want other people to
- 55:40kind of have the thing or do the thing that they did.
- 55:43Are they justified? They're in justifying their.
- 55:46Divorces and I'm not talking about severe abuse cases, I'm
- 55:48talking about like we just don't irreconcilable differences.
- 55:52It's like, well, if he wasn't helping you live your dream or
- 55:55you know, you guys weren't compatible anymore, it's better
- 55:57for the kids. They're very, very frivolous,
- 56:00the kids that you know they're. Although if you ask your kids
- 56:02that you. Know they just want want to
- 56:03connect with you so they're probably afraid and how do you
- 56:05expect an 8 year old to understand how something's
- 56:07traumatizing them? You know, where are the talking?
- 56:10Also with Jennifer Robeck Morse. But where are the voices of
- 56:13children who are back to children's rights, who get to
- 56:16share about how painful it is that the whole security of their
- 56:20world, the love of their parents, you know, that's sort
- 56:22of their whole world, their whole psychological foundation
- 56:26is now severed so dramatically that they have separate homes to
- 56:29go home and sleep in. But no one talks about that,
- 56:32right? Because divorce is like, oh,
- 56:33it's it's going to be better for the kids.
- 56:35Yeah. And it's also because so many
- 56:36millions of people at. This point have been been
- 56:39through that and raised in the situations or are part of those
- 56:42things that it feels like a condemnation for them to even
- 56:45recognize it. And there's another contagion
- 56:47factor here as well, which no one talks about, right?
- 56:50So, and this is where, you know, I know in private conversations
- 56:54you mentioned to me that you're interested in, you know, some of
- 56:57the quote, you know, what people call the red pill stuff that's
- 57:00kind of been going on out there, right?
- 57:02But. Why do you?
- 57:03Think so many young men and even a lot of young women are afraid
- 57:10of marriage because they saw it fail for their parents.
- 57:15They saw it fail for their they saw it fail for their parents
- 57:17friends. They saw these big prominent
- 57:19situations where this happened. Oh wow, like that super
- 57:21successful guy got even he could even he couldn't make it work,
- 57:25you know, and he's done this and he's got that.
- 57:27I was literally going to say it's like the daddy and the.
- 57:29Mommy and the divorce wounds because we were talking offline
- 57:33about some of these kind of leaders in this red pillar
- 57:37adjacent red pill worlds and I hear you know like Andrew Tate
- 57:41as an example is very public about it.
- 57:42You hear him talking about his childhood and you're like, whoa,
- 57:46it's pretty rough. And the.
- 57:48Dynamics. Between like his parents, it
- 57:50just sounds like it's super dysfunctional.
- 57:53Yeah, but I mean in I know he's he's.
- 57:56Framed it in a way that it, I know it motivates and drives him
- 58:01a lot, but I'm sure you know it. It, it, it, Yeah, but it, but
- 58:04it, it, it this is the thing, right?
- 58:05Whether or not someone wants to admit it or can sense them.
- 58:10Like there's people who you can very obviously tell how their
- 58:13childhood has affected them as an adult, right?
- 58:17There's people where it's, it's more subtle and you know,
- 58:19they've gone on and they've been, you know, they've, they've
- 58:21been successful and they've healed from certain problems and
- 58:24whatever. But on some level it's still it,
- 58:27it can't not affect you. How, how can your parents
- 58:29relationship and your family dynamics and your child, how can
- 58:32it not affect you, right? That that doesn't even make
- 58:35sense. It can affect you in positive
- 58:36ways and negative ways. Like, you know, most people,
- 58:39it's going to be some type of combination of these things, but
- 58:41it's gonna impact how you see the world.
- 58:43It's gonna impact how you see relationships.
- 58:45It's gonna even impact what you may aspire to, right?
- 58:48Because if you're from a, you know, a big healthy family with
- 58:51lots of intact marriages and what cool.
- 58:54Like this is a great dynamic. I wanna do the same thing.
- 58:56That's my situation. I'm blessed.
- 58:59But I'm also, my family has become something a bit of an
- 59:02anomaly, which is a massive shame, right?
- 59:04Like, if I tell people about my parents, like, one of the most
- 59:06common questions I get is, you know, oh, are your parents still
- 59:08together? And I'm like, it's isn't it sad
- 59:11that we live in a society where it's almost assumed that your
- 59:14parents are probably not together anymore?
- 59:17Like, it is such a privilege. My parents are still together,
- 59:20too. Yeah, but.
- 59:21We are privileged to be that. Used to be the.
- 59:23Norm, not so long ago, that's what's.
- 59:25Sad. That's what I'm saying is, is
- 59:26that's what's sad, right when I say that I'm like people, you
- 59:29know, I'm like, Oh no, my parents have been together
- 59:30almost 50 years. People are like, wow, that's
- 59:32amazing. You're so lucky.
- 59:33You're so fortunate. You're so privileged.
- 59:35I'm like, yeah, but should that be the case?
- 59:38Like, isn't, shouldn't, isn't that the point of marriage?
- 59:41Like, isn't it meant to be? You stay together and stuff like
- 59:44that? So this has a massive impact on
- 59:47the psyche of younger generations.
- 59:48And I think this is a part that is rarely brought into these
- 59:52conversations because, you know, conservative people especially,
- 59:56obviously, you know, very, very, you know, pro, pro marriage, pro
- 59:59family, they want, you know, well, these young men just man
- 1:00:02up and marry, marry women. And just like you don't
- 1:00:04understand, like these guys are scared.
- 1:00:06They are scared of signing a contract with the government,
- 1:00:10with a woman that there is when you have especially when you
- 1:00:13have these no fault divorce laws.
- 1:00:14And they've heard all these horror stories because 70% of a
- 1:00:17divorces are initiated by women, I think.
- 1:00:19That's the number, yeah, the majority.
- 1:00:20And that's the whole message, right of of some of.
- 1:00:22The red pill. Adjacent folks who are saying,
- 1:00:25you know, don't get married, she's just going to divorce you
- 1:00:28and take your kids and so sleep with different women and but
- 1:00:30still be successful. So in a way their their hatred
- 1:00:34of monogamy stems from betrayal. It's not even it's yeah, I
- 1:00:38would. It's not even hatred of.
- 1:00:39Monogamy, it's just like, OK, if you were say, say if you could
- 1:00:43say if you removed, if you removed the love element, if you
- 1:00:46removed the the love element, right?
- 1:00:47And this is just a, this is a contract you're signing and you
- 1:00:51know that statistically in your country, 45th, 40 to 50% of
- 1:00:57these contracts fail and the other party initiates the break
- 1:01:03up 70 to 80% of the time. You'll hear these stats a lot in
- 1:01:06red pill circles. Would you sign that contract?
- 1:01:11Right. Well, if it it's just, it's
- 1:01:13funny 'cause it's like. Did you know that X amount of
- 1:01:15people die from heart disease? Why don't you just end yourself
- 1:01:18now 'cause you might die? Because it's kind of like a self
- 1:01:20fulfilling prophecy? No, it's not because you,
- 1:01:22because in this you have. The there's so many
- 1:01:25alternatives, right? So there's the alternative is
- 1:01:29like. Mate.
- 1:01:29Selection because I when you. Shake it out.
- 1:01:32You look at people that go to church weekly.
- 1:01:35You look at people that didn't cohabitate before marriage, that
- 1:01:38didn't sleep around before marriage.
- 1:01:40High success rate, high success rate.
- 1:01:42So what? Percentage of people is that.
- 1:01:44It's a small percentage because. Few people are willing to.
- 1:01:47Few people have that vision. I don't even think it's a
- 1:01:50self-control thing because I think people can apply
- 1:01:51self-control where they where they choose.
- 1:01:53I think it's a vision that this is a vision worth fighting for
- 1:01:56and applying myself control to. But the problem is they are not
- 1:01:59educated. Like most people don't even know
- 1:02:02that that you are more likely to divorce if you cohabitate.
- 1:02:04Most people do. They think by cohabitating
- 1:02:07they're actually staving off test test run and, you know,
- 1:02:10make sure it all. That's exactly the.
- 1:02:11The argument and. You know, from logical
- 1:02:14perspective it. Sounds right.
- 1:02:15You know it sounds like it was, but you.
- 1:02:18You think it's not an obvious statistic perhaps.
- 1:02:21Yeah, especially in today's culture.
- 1:02:22Yeah, it's not an obvious statistic that.
- 1:02:23If you cohabitate. Prior then statistically the you
- 1:02:27know, but I but I was going to say that that vision and that
- 1:02:30desire and so so much of that. This is my point.
- 1:02:33So much of that comes from your family, your family seeing it
- 1:02:38living it. You're one of eight, right?
- 1:02:40Your parent. How long have your parents been
- 1:02:42together? We just celebrated 40 years. 40
- 1:02:44years. And the family, the whole family
- 1:02:46got. Together.
- 1:02:47All the grandkids, all eight kids and spouses and one
- 1:02:50boyfriend, I think was there for one and married sibling, but all
- 1:02:53to celebrate by the way they slept in separate room like
- 1:02:57traditional. It's like, you know, like.
- 1:02:59We're not. We're it's but.
- 1:03:00It's you live a certain way and you see this fruit like and you
- 1:03:03want to replicate that and you, you, you now you.
- 1:03:06See the dysfunction? You know, no family is perfect.
- 1:03:08My family is not perfect. My marriage is not perfect.
- 1:03:11We're figuring things out, but towards a certain end.
- 1:03:13So we're we know we're working to get Better Together.
- 1:03:16So you have to keep in mind that in this country.
- 1:03:18Alone, you know, hundreds of millions of people.
- 1:03:24That's not their experience. So this is where the sort of red
- 1:03:30pill stuff comes from. So what's the real answer,
- 1:03:34right? Wow.
- 1:03:38I mean, the Christian answer is pick up your Bible and, you
- 1:03:41know, follow everything in there.
- 1:03:44It's it's hard. You know, Lila, I'd love to have
- 1:03:47a clean answer on this one. I would I would be lying if I
- 1:03:49said I have AI have a totally clean answer.
- 1:03:52I I think that I think we marriage needs to be I do think
- 1:03:57marriage laws need to be changed.
- 1:03:59I think meaning make it more difficult to divorce for no
- 1:04:02fault. The truth is, the truth is OK
- 1:04:04if. You are a young, successful man
- 1:04:06or a man who's going to be young and successful, and you do not
- 1:04:11have a religious or traditional upbringing and outlook in life.
- 1:04:16The incentive structure for state sanctioned marriage in the
- 1:04:22USA and many other countries is poor.
- 1:04:27The incentive struck the the there's not an incentive.
- 1:04:29So when people are there, you know, yelling at these young men
- 1:04:32to hey, just get married, just get married.
- 1:04:34They're like who's yelling at them?
- 1:04:36By the no, no, no, let me I mean let.
- 1:04:38Me not don't get married well let.
- 1:04:39Me not say people are yelling at them.
- 1:04:40Let let's say, OK, the traditional conservative types
- 1:04:42who are telling these young men, why are you following Andrew
- 1:04:44Tate? Why are you listening to all
- 1:04:45these guys? Why are you all with this red
- 1:04:47pill? Whatever.
- 1:04:48You know, I don't like this. I'm fine if they don't get
- 1:04:50married, provided they're not sleeping around with women.
- 1:04:52Like if you choose celibacy because of some sort of noble
- 1:04:54purpose, yeah, it's not realistic.
- 1:04:56It's not. It's not realistic to be.
- 1:04:57Celibate for someone? With no.
- 1:05:01Religious or traditional inclination?
- 1:05:02No noble 'cause they're fighting for it.
- 1:05:04Yeah, I see that. They need a purpose.
- 1:05:06Yes, exactly. So.
- 1:05:08I think part of the. Problem is that there's this,
- 1:05:11there's this void here. I think that a lot of the
- 1:05:14traditional conservative types are not.
- 1:05:17I think, I think often times are genuinely not even aware of just
- 1:05:21how much the game has changed in the last few decades.
- 1:05:24Right. Someone who's for men
- 1:05:25especially, you're saying men. Yeah, like the.
- 1:05:27Disaffected man this this social culture has this society.
- 1:05:31Has changed, the culture has changed, the norms have changed,
- 1:05:33the technology has changed, some of the laws have changed, Right.
- 1:05:36We're not living in the same world as our grandparents or our
- 1:05:38great grandparents. We're actually, it was, yeah,
- 1:05:40sure, that also had its own problems, but it was sort of, it
- 1:05:43was, it was cleaner and it was simpler and it was just like,
- 1:05:47look, this is what you do. You, you, you know, you get to
- 1:05:49this age, you men, men get married.
- 1:05:51Women get married. Cool.
- 1:05:52Like that's it, it, it just functioned.
- 1:05:55Whereas now we're, we're at this weird point where you've still
- 1:05:59got the, the traditional part and you've got some of the
- 1:06:02religion and some of the ideals, but you're also in a society and
- 1:06:05a culture and a legal system which is quite hostile towards
- 1:06:08that. So many people don't even treat
- 1:06:10marriage. People don't, a lot of people
- 1:06:13don't even treat marriage seriously, right?
- 1:06:15Like part of the reason I'm not married yet 'cause I got people,
- 1:06:18again, I got people assume you should be married.
- 1:06:19Like you're, you know, whatever. And I'm like, part of the reason
- 1:06:22I'm not married is because I take it so seriously.
- 1:06:24To me, this isn't something like, oh, you know what, let me
- 1:06:26just marry this girl I like. And if it doesn't work out,
- 1:06:29like, we'll just, there's people who I think that's a good thing.
- 1:06:31I I, I, yeah, I think it's good, but there's people.
- 1:06:33Who get married and. They're going into it like,
- 1:06:35well, if it doesn't work out or one of us isn't happy, like we
- 1:06:38just, we just go and I'm like, well, what's the point of to me?
- 1:06:41I'm, I'm also like, I'm like, well, what's the point of
- 1:06:43getting married if it's not permanent, right?
- 1:06:46If this drive is not that, look, this is a lifelong union, then
- 1:06:51what's the point? All your then it's just extended
- 1:06:53dating with a lot of potential negative ramifications if the
- 1:06:58thing doesn't if it doesn't work out, financial ramifications,
- 1:07:01impact on the children once again, impact on your own
- 1:07:04well-being and mental health, impact on your career, all these
- 1:07:07other things. And that's why again, there are
- 1:07:09millions of young men, whether or not people like it there.
- 1:07:11I know for a fact there are millions of young men out there
- 1:07:14in the West who are terrified of the concept of marriage.
- 1:07:18And I don't think that there is. And you think the top reason for
- 1:07:21that? There's a lot of only.
- 1:07:22People who are addressing this are the red.
- 1:07:25Pill people well, you're addressing it I I am we're.
- 1:07:28Doing that right now, yeah, yeah, I, I, I think, I think
- 1:07:34this is a place where there is. Massive room for more
- 1:07:38conservative, especially, you know, pro marriage, pro family
- 1:07:40people to speak on this and to offer some genuine solutions.
- 1:07:45Because the incentive structure, as I've just said, it's it's so
- 1:07:49it's so broken and so many and it's not just it's not just on
- 1:07:52paper. Again, there are millions of
- 1:07:54people who have been through this grinder and have been spat
- 1:07:58out the other side. Well, the grinder is the
- 1:08:00contraception of ideology. The divorce ideology and now the
- 1:08:03gender ideology, and all three make up what we call the sexual
- 1:08:06revolution and postmodern ideologies kind of swimming all
- 1:08:10together. They're all kind of like
- 1:08:11bleeding into each other, but it is a grinder.
- 1:08:13I like that. I mean, it's a horrible idea,
- 1:08:16but it's true. Like all of these people are
- 1:08:19victims in a way of the sexual revolution and ideologies that
- 1:08:23broke their families, that broke their spirits, that distorted
- 1:08:27their sense of purpose and really their whole understanding
- 1:08:29of what it means to be human. And so now there's just like
- 1:08:33chaos yes and and this has massive impact.
- 1:08:36So I've. I've mostly spoken from the male
- 1:08:37angle, but this is also OK. What What are some of the
- 1:08:42impacts of this on females? Why are there so many young
- 1:08:46women who again, you know, we talked about the male fear that
- 1:08:49a lot of people don't talk about, you know, men are afraid
- 1:08:51of like, you know, Oh my gosh, I marry a woman and she leaves me
- 1:08:55and I lose half my stuff and I lose access to my children and
- 1:08:57this and this like that. That's the male fear that people
- 1:09:00are hesitant to discuss, right? So, you know, a lot of the red
- 1:09:04pill solution is just guys don't get married, right?
- 1:09:06That's their solution. What is the, what is a massive
- 1:09:10fear that a lot of women have outside of, you know, there's
- 1:09:12the obvious things that have always existed like, you know, a
- 1:09:15man who is abusive or violent or something like that.
- 1:09:17But a lot of women, again, due to their own parents dynamics or
- 1:09:21what they saw growing up around them, they are terrified of
- 1:09:27relying on a man independence, right?
- 1:09:30They've been taught to value. Independence above all else,
- 1:09:33which is why the abortion ideology is so strong, because
- 1:09:36these things are all tied together, right?
- 1:09:38Because. Perhaps, again, even in their
- 1:09:40own family, maybe they saw their mom relied on their dad and
- 1:09:45their dad ended up leaving or becoming a junkie or doing this
- 1:09:49or doing that, or they saw it happen to their parents friend.
- 1:09:51They're seeing it happening in society.
- 1:09:53And they're like, you know what? I cannot, I can't put myself in
- 1:09:55a position where I just fully trust and rely on a man.
- 1:09:59Maybe ideologically they would like to right?
- 1:10:01And they'd, they'd like to have that, but they're like, no, I
- 1:10:04need to go out there. I need to get my degrees, I need
- 1:10:06to make my money. I need to start my business.
- 1:10:08I need to do all these things. I need to compete with men very
- 1:10:11directly. And that also has the downstream
- 1:10:14consequences. So you have both men and women,
- 1:10:16especially on the younger end, who are people don't like the
- 1:10:19word fear, but they're they're fearful, they're fearful of one
- 1:10:22another. The, the women are fearful of
- 1:10:24men in a way. The men are fearful of women in
- 1:10:26a way. And this leads to all of the
- 1:10:29dysfunction that you're seeing in relationships because neither
- 1:10:33party feels like they can truly trust the other sex, right?
- 1:10:37Women don't feel like they can trust men.
- 1:10:39Men don't feel like they can trust women.
- 1:10:40On this end, you've got, you know, third and fourth way
- 1:10:43feminism. On this end, you've got, you
- 1:10:44know, the rising sort of red pill and MRA movements, even
- 1:10:47men, men, men going their own way, which is literally men who
- 1:10:51have just sort of signed off of women.
- 1:10:53And maybe they'll casually date here and there, but they're
- 1:10:55absolutely not getting married. They won't even get into a long
- 1:10:57term serious relationship. And this is this is going to be
- 1:11:00LGBT, right? That's OK.
- 1:11:02Or just the third. Identity or you completely
- 1:11:04switch over. Right, and and I can under.
- 1:11:07Understand. And I can empathize with all
- 1:11:10these different positions, right?
- 1:11:11If there's a young woman who's grown up in a certain way and
- 1:11:13she wants to get her money and she wants to run her business
- 1:11:16and she wants to do this and do this and not have to rely on a
- 1:11:19man that's not just coming from you watch some feminist
- 1:11:22programming in the media and it's like, it's like, no,
- 1:11:25there's a logical reason why that young woman thinks like
- 1:11:28that and why she has that. I don't need a man.
- 1:11:30I don't want a man attitude. And there's also a logical
- 1:11:34reason why you have these young men who are out there.
- 1:11:36Like actually, you know what, I'm just going to be like live a
- 1:11:39Playboy lifestyle and I'll have relationships with women, but I
- 1:11:42won't get in too deep. So I won't get my heart broken.
- 1:11:44I won't get my, you know, finances.
- 1:11:47I want to, I want to have to take the risk, right?
- 1:11:49I'm not going to be flipping this coin that I've seen doesn't
- 1:11:53have a great statistical success rate, even though again,
- 1:11:57oftentimes statistics are not contextualized properly.
- 1:11:59You did this earlier where you actually, if you look in, if
- 1:12:03you, if you are in certain communities and you do certain
- 1:12:06things, you know, the divorce rate is not going to be 40 to
- 1:12:0950%. It's going to be, it's going to
- 1:12:11be miniscule. It's all about how you live and
- 1:12:14what's motivating. How you live and why you live.
- 1:12:16And you know, one of the passions behind this podcast,
- 1:12:19and I know it's a passion behind everything that you're doing is
- 1:12:22to help people see the, the, the goodness of who they're meant to
- 1:12:27be. And, you know, to help
- 1:12:29reharmonize these relationships and help people find the truth.
- 1:12:32And the good news is like when you have a one example, you
- 1:12:36know, that one beautiful marriage that's 50-60 years
- 1:12:39strong. And you have, you know, you have
- 1:12:41the, the two good parents who are married, who are raising the
- 1:12:45five good children or the six or the seven good, or even the one
- 1:12:48good child. You know, maybe you're not
- 1:12:49blessed with more than that or you adopt A child, right?
- 1:12:51Because everyone, you know, has their own thing.
- 1:12:53But you are already changing the world by that example, changing
- 1:12:58the world in a massive way. Because as I said.
- 1:13:00We children grow up, people become adults and then those
- 1:13:04adults go out and they interact with thousands or millions of
- 1:13:06people. Especially now in the Internet
- 1:13:09age, you interact with more people than ever before.
- 1:13:11And if you are dysfunctional and you spray that and put it upon
- 1:13:15all these other people, you know, you go out there and you
- 1:13:17can cause all sorts of untold and unnoticed damage in the
- 1:13:21world, right? But if you do the opposite and
- 1:13:23you can live a more virtuous life and encourage people to do
- 1:13:26the same. It's not about anyone being
- 1:13:27perfect, but you know you can do your best to uplift and inspire
- 1:13:31and be an example to other people.
- 1:13:32Then again, it it, it all, it all ripples outwards.
- 1:13:36We, we all affect one another. And I, I would like, you know, I
- 1:13:40think these, these conversations are extremely important because
- 1:13:43there are, I think there are so many issues we have in our
- 1:13:45society and culture, which number one, people are afraid to
- 1:13:49talk about, as we've discussed before.
- 1:13:51But also it's not just that people are afraid to talk about
- 1:13:57them. It's also that people are afraid
- 1:13:59to be truly honest, right? Be what, what do you know?
- 1:14:05Let let's have an honest conversation about what what do
- 1:14:07what do what do women, you know, everyone's an individual.
- 1:14:10What, what do women, what do women really want?
- 1:14:12What do women want from a relationship, from a marriage,
- 1:14:15from, you know, from the father of their children, from the you
- 1:14:20know what, what, what, what do women really want?
- 1:14:22What are their fears? How do we address these
- 1:14:26concerns? What do men really like?
- 1:14:28A conversation that doesn't happen?
- 1:14:29What do men actually want? If men start talking about what
- 1:14:32they want in women, When you start being called sexist, you
- 1:14:34talking called misogynistic, you start being called this and
- 1:14:37this. It's like, can men not have
- 1:14:39preferences or we're not allowed to talk about the things that
- 1:14:41are concerning us, right. If a guy comes out there
- 1:14:44publicly and is, you know, concerned about some of the
- 1:14:46things that I've brought up, they're concerned about the
- 1:14:48divorce statistics, they're concerned about the way modern
- 1:14:50women are behaving. They're concerned about this and
- 1:14:52this and this, right? They just, instead of like
- 1:14:55taking it seriously, oftentimes it's just like, Oh well, he's an
- 1:14:58insell or he's just like a, he's a red pill loser or he's like
- 1:15:01this or he's that. And it's like, no, some of those
- 1:15:03things are genuine concerns. Like these are societal
- 1:15:07concerns. These are legal concerns.
- 1:15:09These are things that he's experienced or thought about.
- 1:15:12Some of it might be overblown, some of the numbers might be
- 1:15:14off, whatever it is. But it's like the thing can't be
- 1:15:17like, I'll just just do it anyway.
- 1:15:20It's like, well, no, he's done a calculation and this is his
- 1:15:24current position if you want to. Another thing I wish more people
- 1:15:28would do, Here's another thing I think is is kind of an issue is
- 1:15:31that we all know that in the media and in social media,
- 1:15:34negative travels a lot further and faster than positive.
- 1:15:38And so for the people who do have like horror stories or like
- 1:15:42bad things that have happened or whatever, you see a
- 1:15:45disproportionate amount of that online and in the media.
- 1:15:49You don't see so many examples of happy, healthy, functioning
- 1:15:55human beings and relationships and families and all that stuff,
- 1:15:58even in in movies and in TV shows and whatever.
- 1:16:01It's all it's, it's dysfunction, dysfunction, dysfunction.
- 1:16:03It's kind of what people see. And I think that the truth is
- 1:16:07most people who are in like happy, healthy, long term
- 1:16:10marriages and whatever these, these don't tend to be the
- 1:16:13people who are like online and who are posting a lot of stuff.
- 1:16:17No, no, no, yes, exactly. They're they're living.
- 1:16:20It and also there's there's. Privacy, right, you've you've
- 1:16:22got children you don't want to like be posting your family on
- 1:16:25social media all the time despite you being a public
- 1:16:27figure. And so I think often times
- 1:16:30people also just don't see enough examples of it right.
- 1:16:34People are not like I I can, I can speak for myself as as an
- 1:16:38unmarried man, the thing that makes me most crave and desire
- 1:16:45being with a woman for life and having a bunch of kids and
- 1:16:48living that happy life is seeing other people doing it.
- 1:16:51When I see it within my family, with my friends, with other
- 1:16:55people, I know and I see it and I'm like, man, that's that's
- 1:16:57dope. Like that's you have the
- 1:16:59experience. Yeah, like, like you, you, you
- 1:17:01see it Or even just being an uncle, right?
- 1:17:02Like I see that and I'm like, that's awesome.
- 1:17:04And then I, but then I recognize for so many other young men out
- 1:17:08there, they're not seeing that. They're hearing the horror
- 1:17:12stories. They're listening to certain
- 1:17:13podcasts and watching certain YouTube channels and where they,
- 1:17:16they know the numbers, they know the statistics, they're hearing
- 1:17:18this. And but they themselves are not
- 1:17:19seeing, oh, actually, this is, here's the incentive.
- 1:17:23This is, this is what you could have, right?
- 1:17:26Like they're, they're just not seeing that.
- 1:17:28And so it leads them down a certain line of thinking where
- 1:17:32ultimately they often just kind of check out or even worse, they
- 1:17:36kind of go completely the other way.
- 1:17:38And they just fall into absolute nihilism and hedonism and just,
- 1:17:42OK, you know what? I'm just going to just get as
- 1:17:46many chicks as I can. And I'm just going to live this
- 1:17:48very promiscuous lifestyle. And it's going to be very
- 1:17:50sterile and whatever. And I'm going to dodge.
- 1:17:53I'm going to dodge the risks by taking all these other risks and
- 1:17:57living that, living this other life.
- 1:17:58And I don't think that is the correct.
- 1:18:00I think that's the correct conclusion, but I can see how
- 1:18:02people get there. That's why if someone's
- 1:18:04listening and they're blessed with.
- 1:18:06This family, they have a they're married already or you're a
- 1:18:10grandparent listening and you're married or you have a connection
- 1:18:13to or you are living that family beautiful life with all of its
- 1:18:17imperfections and chaoses. Because again, these are not
- 1:18:19perfect. No one, no perfect family, but
- 1:18:21generosity and hospitality is so important.
- 1:18:24You know how invite people in, especially that, you know,
- 1:18:26single disaffected person or that single lonely person
- 1:18:30because people need to experience it to understand how
- 1:18:33good it is and how beautiful it is.
- 1:18:35OK, we got to do a whole other episode.
- 1:18:37You got to come back, Zubi next time you're covering it because
- 1:18:39there's a lot more here. But thank you so much for taking
- 1:18:43the time. And where can people find your
- 1:18:44stuff? Sure thing.

- 1:18:58You're awesome. No, honestly, what you're doing
- 1:19:00is fantastic. I've followed you online for
- 1:19:03years. You're an incredibly brave
- 1:19:05woman, courageous, wonderful example for all these things
- 1:19:09that we're discussing. More women were like you.
- 1:19:13These men would be, you know, lining up in droves to try to
- 1:19:16get married and whatever. So no, I just want to give you
- 1:19:19give you your props because I think what you're doing is
- 1:19:20fantastic and it's extremely important.
- 1:19:21Thank you. Well, you also seriously, I
- 1:19:23think the the. The message that you're sharing
- 1:19:26and what you're inspiring men and women to is just what's
- 1:19:29needed. So keep it up and let's keep
- 1:19:31these conversations going. No doubt.
- 1:19:32On to 100 million. Thank you.
- 1:19:35Thanks, Sueby.
