Want to definitely chat with you about the release of the Epstein files. Also, if you have some thoughts about all of the information on Trump's deal making that is underway right now, which is apparently going very, very well and is going to bring substantial benefit to the American people, which I think is great. Something where we absolutely, absolutely want to see the numbers go higher and higher. Investment in the US makes a whole lot of sense and it's going to be something that Trump looks at specifically as I think one of his legacy points where we don't just have presidents who sit back and let other countries take advantage of us, we also have presidents who advantage us on the world stage with these trade deals.

Couple of things today I want to throw into the mix for our conversation, for our rumination on and, and want to get your thoughts on it. For sure. I thought this was, this was interesting. It plays into some broader narratives and concerns that we have. One is this, this Pew poll, Pew Research center came out just a few days ago and it's making the rounds now that 12th grade girls are less likely than 12th grade boys to say they actually want to get married someday. Now, more overall of 12th graders. So these are roughly 8, like 18 year olds, right? Some are 17, some are 19. But 12th graders I think are basically 18, 18 and 19. More of them said they would not get married someday, but not a lot more. But the thing that I found more interesting about the data here, and this is also the kind of polling where I think, I don't think it's hard to do this pretty accurately. I think that you're asking for people's opinions. They're easy enough to find. They're going to share these opinions. So it's not some political incentive to mess with this data. It's not like an election or something. So I think that what's, there's a, there's something that's concerning here and something that I actually find encouraging. I'll start with the concerning side of this. The concerning side of it now is that 61% of girls say that they want to get married someday. If I'm reading this data correctly, boys are more likely than girls to say they want to get married someday. 74% versus 61%. Only 61% of girls say they want to get married. What is going on here? Well, I think we know what's going on, unfortunately, our society. And I think, look, I've only been around for a certain period of time, as you know, but for my entire adult life, to be sure, there has been this, I call it like the sex in the city sex and the City effect, the boss boss girl stuff. There has been a very clear effort in our culture, a broad, broad effort in our culture to tell young women to act like men, not to pretend they're men. That's also happening. That's a separate issue. Right. That's the trans thing. But to engage socially, certainly professionally, as men do, and to view dating and hookup culture the way that men do and to instead of having legal Equality and a legal right to choose their own destiny. They should view themselves more as equal as in the same as men. And young women are not the same as young men. You and I know this is not a recipe for long term happiness for women. This is not going to result in good life choices for most of the women. There are always exceptions. We're talking about roughly, you know, a big chunk of humanity here. We're talking about women in the, you know, 18 to 30 year old age age range here. But I'll tell you, I know this just from, if we want to get anecdotal. I know so many women who are my age now, they're in their 40s that I grew up with in New York and they had nothing but options and a lot of them are not married and they're never going to have families now. And what do we, what would I say to them if they wanted to hear my opinion on this, which I don't think they do. They're probably not listening to this show, but they were completely misled by the culture. They were put down a pathway that was very likely to cause misery. And there are even little small things along the way here. I remember when I was, when I was graduating from college, everybody around me wanted to work at an investment bank or a management consultant firm. Maybe that was an, that's not just an Amherst thing. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Amherst, Williams, you know, Haverford, Stanford, Duke, all these places, everybody wants to, they want it. You want to come out of school, you want to make 150 grand your first year out of school, which is what you can make at some of these places as a 22, 23 year old. And so that was what everybody wanted to do. But the hours, especially on the investment banking side were absolutely miserable and brutal. 80, 90 hour weeks expected. That was, I mean, if you weren't going to sign up for that. And I just remember thinking, I was like, how many of the young women that I knew in that class, why do they want to do that? And this, some may say this is going to sound sexist. It's not sexist. It's just an objective view of reality. Men and women have different biological timelines that they're operating under. That is just a fact. Young women putting themselves in the cubicle farm from age 22 to, you know, 30 to try to make VP at Goldman Sachs and grinding away indoors and do all this stuff. Should they be able to do this if they choose? Absolutely. Is this going to make most of them happy? Well, I Can tell you, none of the ones that I knew lasted, none of them did it a couple years, maybe stayed, stayed in finance. They all stopped. Because guys work overwhelmingly. Why do guys work in finance? Why do guys do any job where they can try to make a, a comfortable living? Because they want to be an attractive partner, a mate, husband for a woman so they can provide for a family. And you know, this is why these guys put themselves through this. And you know, the data on the other side of this is also very clear. They've run these experiments and you don't even have to, you just think through the experiment. Guy sees a beautiful women, a beautiful woman, she's wearing a power suit, she's a boss babe. Guy sees the same, same woman in a different context, she's wearing a McDonald's uniform. The percentage of guys who care about this is very small. Very small. Just a fact, just the truth. They've done these, they've done these experiments before, you know, and, and we have led so many of these women down this, young women down this pathway. And it's my generation that I think it is. I'm, I'm a graybeard millennial. I do have gray in my beard. I'm a graybeard millennial. My generation was just DEI and the boss babe, sex and the city stuff just, just decimated. Certainly the people who grew up in the big cities and were around this, really inundated with this culture and, and it's still happening. These young women, you know, don't, don't want to get married. I mean, I, I, you can sit and watch all these interviews that there, there's some very actually good podcasters who do these long form interviews with CEOs who are wildly successful. And one thing I've never heard, and these different, some of these hosts, the diary of a CEO guy, there's others, they're always told the same thing by these guys who have more money than what to do with more success. They know what to do with. If they had a regret, it was, I wish I spent more time with my family. And if they're asked what they're most proud of and they have a family, you know what they say, their family. I mean this is all very, very much there for. So I really think that there need to be more voices speaking to young women are not going to. Some of you, by the way, very glad you're listening to the show, but I don't know if a 43 year old guy telling women about their life choices is going to resonate with 20 somethings who love Taylor Swift. Like I understand that may not be my prime demographic for my message, but we need more women who can speak effectively to them and it's for their own good because they're being led down a pathway that is not turning out well. And the fact that you're getting close to almost half of women don't want to get married. Young women, 18 year old women, they don't want to get married now you could say, oh, maybe they still want to have kids. And I would say to that if you're going to have kids, you should get married. Ok? You should have a stable family formation. Shouldn't do this, shouldn't do this, the baby mama thing or the. Shouldn't do this. Producer Ali tells me some people are getting mad at Taylor Swift for getting married. No, no, no, this is, this is very bad message they have. Ok? On the good. So that's on the bad side of things. Women, young women are being absolutely brainwashed, misled. It's terrible. I see it everywhere. And the results are just going to be a lot of, a lot of misery for them later in life or a lot of regret, I should say. You know, people can find purpose in a lot of things. And I'm not saying you can't find purpose without a family and certainly not saying you can't find purpose without having children. And a lot of people have difficulty having children. But we're talking, it's like policy. What is going to bring the greatest happiness results for the greatest number of people? Getting married, having a family, pursuing a life where you are focused day to day outside of your own needs and wants. It's so important, it's so important to have things that you care about. Relationship with God, your wife, your husband, your kids, your immediate family, you know, your family member that you're a caretaker or taken care of. You have to care. A cause that's actually worthy, not like climate change, but an actually worthy cause. You have to care about things beyond yourself because otherwise you'll just go through the scale of hedonic adaptation. Things get better, you get used to it materially. Things get better, you don't care anymore. You know, I was, I was recently out with a guy, is a friend of a friend, very nice guy and I'm not, not putting him down, but I just thought it was kind of funny. There's a car called a Pagani which I think is cost like, like $4 million, six minutes car. It costs millions of dollars. I don't know. Producer Ali Google What a Pagani costs, it's, it's, it's absurd. And this guy has eight of them. And let me tell you something, the ninth Pagani, he probably going to lose it somewhere, doesn't even care, right? You reach this point where that stuff doesn't matter. You have to find meaning in other things, meaning things outside of your immediate needs and wants. On the upside though of this same Pew poll, the fact that young men and I love. It's a huge problem for the Democrat party. It's a huge problem for the woke left. Young men have gotten the message. Young men realize toxic masculinity is a toxic ideology of nonsense. They have realized that, that the suppression of traits in within masculinity, bravery, courage, aggression, concentrated in the right ways, you know, that the suppression of these things, wanting to be the leader of a family, wanting to be the leader of a, of a community and whatever way that is, wanting to be a leader in the workplace, that the suppression of that is just absolute nonsense and really destructive. And young men are realizing this is why they are turning away from the Democrat party. That is why young men are increasingly going back to, for those, those who are Christian, going back to church. They want more, they want to lead. They want to be spiritual leaders. They want to be people that, they want to be someone that their wife can count on. Yes, to defend them, to protect them physically, but also emotionally and spiritually to be there for them. We want to have our roles. We want to pursue the best of what it is to be a man. Young men want to get married in greater numbers, according to Pew. They want to be masculine, not, you know, just oh, I'm shooting up a lot of steroids and you know, I, I look like he man or whatever. No, it's about fulfilling their masculine imperative, their masculine destiny to be men that they become good men. They get it in greater numbers. And it's just because of the failure of what the left is offering, the undermining and the hypocrisy and the smugness of our culture of leftism and liberalism and all this other nonsense that's just constantly degrading and pulling men down. They see it and they've had enough and they know there's something better. And I just truly hope that the young women of America are on the precipice of a similar renaissance, a similar rebirth of understanding. But I'm not sure I worry. Women have been greatly misled and the damage is just beginning, I think to set in for many of them. Tunnel the Towers foundation honors America's greatest heroes like dedicated public servant Josh Bischoff. Josh began his firefighting career as a volunteer and quickly rose through the ranks to become Cal Fire's Assistant Chief of Tactical Air Operations. Josh was driven by a driven by a deep sense of purpose and a passion for serving others. His leadership earned him great respect across the state of California and beyond. Then tragedy struck and two helicopters collided while fighting a California wildfire. Josh was killed in the crash. He leaves behind his wife, Cheryl, and their two children, Derek and Juliana. The talented Towers foundation paid the Bischoff family's mortgage, lifting a financial burden and enabling Josh's family to focus on healing after unimaginable loss. Josh's family is committed to honoring his memory by living with the same drive, joy and purpose that he did. Honor and help heroes like Josh and their families who have sacrificed so much.
