  Speaker 1: You know, I think it probably depends upon who you are.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: If you're a married man in your fifties, then yes,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that would be embarrassing having a boyfriend. But for I'm
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: assuming that's not who this question is talking about. What
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: do you mean, why is it? Why would it be
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: embarrassing to have a boyfriend?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I don't know, but there is this trend right now.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: There's influencers from all over men and women saying that
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: it is embarrassing to have a girlfriend or to have
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: a boyfriend because it feels republican. I'm sure, what's this, Yeah,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: it feels republican. And then the influencer saying that the
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: stats are backing it up. In two thousand, between the
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: ages of eight, eighteen and forty, about forty percent we're
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: not in relationships, and that same number it's about sixty
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: percent now in twenty twenty five, and people are deciding
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: they want to be single because it's not cool, it's embarrassing,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: and it's too Republican.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: What I mean wait wait wait.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait wait it's too Republican.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Wakay, Well, what do you think of when you hear
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: of a Republican. You think Christian, You think morals, marriage values,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: marriage children, you know, So that is basically what I hear.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: They're saying they don't want anything to.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Do with that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So to do what people have been doing since the
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: dawn any time is embarrassing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Now, well, here's the problem, Stephen. They labeled it with
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: the big R Republican, so that the younger. Actually you
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: were seeing a trend where more young people coming out
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: of high school, are especially male, are leaning more towards
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Republican values. They ran, you know, they like Trump and
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: all that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So it goes back.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: I guess, if you want to be quite honest about it,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: the things that become popular, like the drag queen book
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: story hour, the you know, furrees marching with you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: women going out topless and screaming, it's all about this
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: disdain for Christians, for Republicans, it really has nothing to
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: do with their moral compass on the inside.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: That they were born with. It's what they're being. It's like,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you know, we've all talked about this.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: Where there's a generation of children who ended up thinking
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: that they were gay in middle school because that was
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: the thing to be, that was trendy.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It was a trendy thing to be.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: But while I'm going to read this to y'all, while
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: high school girls pessimism about saying I do and becoming
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: mothers appears to square with the nation's lack of marriages
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and births, it does not reconcile well with data suggesting
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: women who are married with children are twice as likely
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: to be very happy than unmarried women without kids. Not
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: only are married women happier, but forty one percent of
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: them also have a stronger sense of purpose compared to
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: the thirty two percent of their unmarried counterparts who report
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: the same. Married men, especially those with children, report greater
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: happiness than single, childless men.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that data has been around for a while,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and maybe it's part of why Republican women are happier
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: than Democrat women. But that's part of the data. If
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: you are married, if you have kids, even though you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: know not everything's easy and always you know, sunshine and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: butterflies every day. There's difficulty with it, but women still
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just have a lot more joy in their lives if
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: they've been married and have kids than women who never
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: do that. That's just what the data shows.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: And the keyword in this stat is purpose.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Your children, your family, your husband, your family gives you
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: a purpose. And no matter how hard it is, no
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: matter how great it is, all of it comes back
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: down to your purpose in life. Knew that's what I
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: was born to be. I knew that this was my
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: lot in life.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I won't. I wanted to raise.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Children to be great citizens that would go out into
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: the world and do great things and raise their own family.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And it's a lineage of goodness and purpose.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: What else are you here for If you don't have purpose,
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: if you don't have a spouse, if you don't have children,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: if you don't have anything to leave behind leave a legacy.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Is what is the purpose at all?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And this is one of those things where I'm wondering
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: if this is people are just spiting themselves over politics,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: because I know several young women, friends of the children
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of friends, right, and they've been you know, voting Democrat
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: or whatever, and when they get a boyfriend who is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a decent guy and treats them well. You finally start
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to see their smiles reach their eyes.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Yes, yes, absolutely lying to themselves. Yeah, it's the whole
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: virtue signaling thing again. All of a sudden, this is
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: a virtue, is them saying, oh, I land in this
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: group where I don't need a man, I don't need
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: a boyfriend, I don't need.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: To get married. It's almost like that virtue signal, like, so.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: I'm with y'all, but at what point will you decide
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: that you're really here to do something purposeful?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: It is for yourself, but it's mainly for other people.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: I don't understand these trends that are sabotaging this generation
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: of children into thinking that there's nothing more to life
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: than just pleasing yourself.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Don't get it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: I don't either, And it is kind of it is
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: a trend, and it's lying to themselves because they do
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: not feel joy, they do not feel happiness, and they're
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: lying to themselves. I feel like the way to counterbalances
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: is we start talking about family values and we push
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: it back the same way they push it in our face.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: We're going to push family.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: So basically, if you're embarrassed by being with someone who
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: treats you well, get over it. If you like to
