LIVE - WRONGTHINK: Is America Experiencing a Pro-Family Reawakening?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, what it ought to do is this.
The first thing, you don't want to put...
I'm against government interference in our lives.
You want to minimize that.
So the very first thing the government should do is try and take the pressure off to reproduce.
There's a lot of pressure in our society now to reproduce.
If you're single, people try and push you into getting married.
You know, your wife, you have a bachelor over and your wife says, gee, shouldn't I have a nice girl over the ideas?
You know, nobody should escape.
So there's pressure to get married.
Young couples, if they don't have children, people say, gee, they must be sterile.
They never say, gee, maybe they like good wine and going to the theater and so on.
They prefer that to scraping diapers.
So there's pressure to have children.
So the first thing that should happen is that the president ought to say, from now here on out, no intelligent, patriotic American family ought to have more than two children, preferably one, if you're starting a family now.
Not any law, but just say this is what responsible people do.
He ought to make the FCC see to it that large families are always treated in a negative light on television wherever they appear.
There ought to be a tremendous amount of television time devoted to spot commercials, the sort we've had against smoking.
But ones in the middle, say, in the middle of Beverly Hillbillies, you get a scene which shows Los Angeles in the smog, and it just says, this city has a fatal disease.
It's called overpopulation.
And so long.
Now, that sort of campaign, you could have a census, a sample census, which would see whether that was having the desired effect.
If that didn't, you could move to giving women bonuses for not having babies.
That almost certainly would do the job.
If that didn't have the effect, then you could move to changing the tax structure so that people who had the money and had the children paid for the children.
In other words, you would increase taxes on people with children rather than decrease them since when they have the children they require more services.
If that doesn't work, then you'll have the government legislating the size of the family.
And people say, oh, that's impossible.
Government can never intrude and tell you how many children to have.
Well, I got news.
You know, it intruded a long time ago and told you how many wives you can have.
And there's not the slightest question that if we don't get the population under control with voluntary means, that in the not-too-distant future, the government will simply tell you how many children you can have and throw you in jail if you have too many.
That was Paul Ehrlich in 1970 basically pressuring the government to stop incentivizing people to have families.
Now, prior to 1970, because 1970 is kind of a crucial breaking point in American history, prior to 1970s, you started to see in the 60s the breakdown of the family.
Of course, that was the rise of first-wave feminism.
And essentially what that told women is, actually, you're useless as a mother.
You're useless as a woman, right?
As a feminine woman.
Giving into the inclination of getting married and having a family and going about things the way that society had always gone about things, which is to prioritize the family.
Women prior to the 70s were kind of told, hey, you know, it's better if you prioritize a family over a career.
And you know what?
Quite frankly, that worked very well for America.
That worked very well for Western society.
When you started to see America really fall apart was actually right around the time of second wave feminism.
And so with all of that said, guys, I think there's a lot of cultural factors that have contributed to the decay of a family-centric society.
And I think you can look to history for that.
But there's so many examples of that.
There's so many analyses of that.
There's so many people who have kind of broken down exactly what happened.
They looked at the statistics.
And that's not what we're going to do today on today's show, because I think we all kind of can grasp that fact.
Everything started to fall apart.
We took the Bible out of schools.
We started to create a society that told women to get out of the home and into the workforce, whatever.
We know that.
OK.
But I think there's a lot of things that are going on now that are it's sort of becoming a sort of a cultural backlash looming.
That's already kind of building gaining steam, so to speak, among not just women, but I would say Americans as a whole.
There's An understanding that all of these decades of prioritizing pushing women into the workforce, prioritizing other things over family, pushing people to have all of these choices in life.
Oh, don't get married now.
Try to find the best partner in life.
You're too young to get married.
We tell people that when they're in their 20s.
And then what happens is people don't actually start to think seriously about finding the right person to marry and reproduce with.
Basically, we're at a point in which a lot of people have found themselves in a situation where not only are they unhappy with their station in life as a single person, as maybe an unmarried person, as a childless person, but they're also kind of looking around and realizing maybe this whole idea of pushing away the family unit wasn't what was best for society because we're past a point where we're brainwashing Future generations to not wanting to have kids.
We are already at a point where we are now seeing the consequences of a childless society.
Now, I'm using that term at large, generally speaking, right?
Obviously, there are still people having kids.
There are still people who have, even throughout that process of kind of de-family centralizing society, There have been people throughout the past few decades that have still had families and still been very traditional.
But I'm speaking generally, okay, when I say that we have kind of pushed away families.
This pisses me off when people don't understand the idea of speaking generally, okay?
These are all generalizations, okay?
But generally speaking, we haven't really...
Created a situation that's best for society.
And the conclusion that I've come to, and kind of the whole crux of today's argument in today's show, is that a family-centric society isn't just better for families, it is better for everybody.
And why wouldn't it be?
It is the most natural thing in the world to want to get married and have a family.
It is literally what we are created to do.
That is something that not only has the Bible proven, but also science.
So even if you're not a Christian, that is something that should be completely clear to you.
It is only natural to have a family.
It is only natural to want to pass down your genes.
It was only natural that...
And the idea of having a family, by the way, because many of you might be thinking, well, you don't need a family to do that.
Well, you kind of do if you want to create the best situation for the survival of your genes, okay?
The best thing you can do is have a mother and a father in a home who are both fulfilling their roles in the relationship, raising children.
That is the best setup.
That is...
It's been proven over time, okay?
Everybody knows kids do better in school when you sit down with your full family and you have dinner together.
The kids are talking about how their day at school was.
That is not a mystery.
That is not a theory.
That is just a fact, okay?
But there's a lot to break down as far as recent statistics that are now proving Americans are waking up to this reality.
An anti-family society was never good for anybody.
And it's quite an interesting realization to come to right now because I do believe there is a reawakening happening.
So for once in probably a long time, we actually have some positive news to discuss.
The question is, is it too little too late?
And also, what led us here?
What led us to get to this point where people finally woke up and realized, you know what?
You know what?
Maybe all of these years of government propaganda against having families, maybe all of these policies that we voted for that were actually not helpful to families were bad for society, because that is exactly true.
We're going to be examining all of that today, guys.
So stay tuned for today's, tonight's, I think very interesting episode of Wrong Think Primetime.
And welcome to Wrong Think Primetime, everyone.
I'm Anna Perez.
Thank you so much for being here on this Friday night.
You're a real one if you're spending your Friday night watching Wrong Think Primetime, but obviously I don't blame you because personally, I think it's an awesome show, although I would say I am obviously biased.
Guys, before we get started, please make sure that you rumble this video.
Share the link on your social media.
This is going to be a really interesting one because we're going to be diving into some recent statistics that just came out.
And I think that this one article I'm going to show you has a really good grasp on the situation.
So before we do dive in, please like the show, share the show so more people can hear the truth about what's going on in American society, in Western society at large.
Before we do get started, though, I do want to, of course, tell you about our amazing sponsor for Patriots.
Guys, I'm telling you, the government is trying to kill us.
We've known that for a long time.
It's why they've pushed the whole depopulation agenda.
OK, that's all a big part of it.
So the question is not will things go sideways, but rather when things go sideways, will you be prepared?
Well, some people are concerned they may have to go for a long time without electricity or even food.
That's why I want to introduce you to for Patriots dot com.
Get preparedness products you can use now and that could save your life later on.
Literally.
My favorite is for Patriots new solar generator, the Patriot Power Generator 2000X.
It uses the endless free power of the sun to power lights, your TV, medical equipment and even run your fridge.
Plus, it's expandable and comes with a free solar panel.
So it's a fantastic deal.
or pick up one of Four Patriots' best-selling survival food kits, Delicious tasting and designed to last for 25 years.
That is crazy.
They even have kits with real meat, which is really hard to do with kits that last for 25 years.
So pretty incredible feat, if you ask me.
And if the power is out, guys, no worries.
That's what it's made for.
Just boil water over a fire, simmer, and serve.
You'll enjoy a hot meal and stay safe in a crisis, which is the whole point, okay?
More smart people than ever are finding and trusting for patriots.
Over two million customers.
Trust them, to be exact.
You might even have seen them on TV. Okay, guys?
So that way, you know, we all know how important this is.
We all know how important it is that you get yourself equipped for when this disaster does come.
So with that said, I had the folks at 4Patriots set up a special page for you.
You're welcome.
Over at 4Patriots, that is the number 44Patriots.com forward slash Anna so that listeners of this podcast can see this week's discounts and deals before they go away.

Save more and get peace of mind now by going to 4Patriots.com forward slash Anna.
All right?
So highly recommend that you do that if you are interested in protecting yourself and your family, you know, against anything the government wants to throw at you.
Speaking of families, guys, that is what today's episode is all about.
We're going to be answering the question, is America experiencing a pro-family reawakening?
Because I do believe that that is the case.
And what we're going to be examining today are the statistics to back that up, essentially.
And Really what inspired today's episode, because the way I start episodes, just in case you're curious as to how the brainstorming or creative process works, is, well, basically it's just me behind the production of the show itself.
I have an amazing person that helps with the thumbnails, Aaron.
He's amazing.
He's talented.
They help with the thumbnails, of course.
And they, I just called Aaron a they.
He is a he.
He's a he.
He's very talented.
But as far as the actual thought process behind what goes into the show, that's all me.
And usually I'm inspired by either a clip I see or an article I see.
And in this case, it was this article from Evie Magazine, which I am a big fan of.
So if you don't follow Evie on Instagram and social media, definitely follow them now.
But basically it's a...
It's a pro-women magazine, not in the feminism sense, but in the conservative sense.
They promote femininity, they promote traditional values, and I think that is all very pro-women.
Obviously, I believe that the leftist agenda has been very detrimental, not just for women, but for society at large, which is exactly why we're in the mess that we're in, okay?
But they came up with this article, and I thought that this was a really interesting statistic.
Half of Americans now...
Want a big family, according to a new poll.
And the reason why this stuck out to me is because I really do believe that we're at a breaking point where this whole anti-family agenda, this propaganda that the government was a major, major proponent of, that the left was pushing for so many decades, it's now backfiring.
You know, history is a pendulum.
There's no such thing as being a progressive society.
Society is not progressive.
It's not regressive either, per se.
It's a pendulum, okay?
Things change.
History changes, okay?
But anyways, I want to get into this article because they get into some great info.
Many millennials will tell you that when it comes to family size, smaller is generally preferable.
If they even decide to have children, that is.
A Pew Research poll from just two years ago found that 44% of adults from 18 to 49 said they were not terribly likely to have children.
A 7% increase from the same poll conducted just three years before that in 2018.
But it wasn't always this way.
In the 1930s, a Gallup poll found that 64% of Americans considered the ideal family size to have at least three children.
This figure increased to 77% in 1945.
Gallup poll, right as World War II, was coming to a close.
After the end of the war, there was a sharp increase in the United States birth rate.
So much so that babies born during the birth rate explosion from 1946 to 1964 were dubbed part of the baby boomer generation.
Then, in the latter half of the 1960s, birth rates suddenly began to decline.
From 1967 to 1971, Gallup found that the percentage of Americans with a preference for a larger family, three or more children, dropped from 70% all the way down from 52%.
By 1980, the average number of children per household was 1.8.
This trend has continued for decades, with birth rates in the United States declining nearly every year since 1990.
And thus, the younger generation's idea of a normal family consisting of two parents and two children was solidified.
However, a new poll from Gallup suggests that this might be changing after finding that 45% of adults in the United States said that three or more children would be ideal, the highest figure since 1971.
And remember, that clip I played for you at the top of the show, that was 1970.
So it's kind of interesting how we're seeing this all come full circle.
This backlash is happening, you know, Decades later, but the number is reaching about the same that the year after that video came out reached.
But before we explore this new development further, let's first dive into why we found ourselves in a decades long decline in birth rates to begin with.
Why the decline in births?
We know that birth rates have been going down and that families with three or more children are far less common than they were 100 years ago.
But why has this been happening?
Why have people been having fewer and fewer children since the 1960s?
It's been suggested that the initial decrease of babies born in the United States during the 60s and 70s could be due to Americans growing worry about overpopulation.
Which is of course guys a whole lie.
It's a myth pushed by globalists of course to push the depopulation agenda.
The cultural shifts that caused premarital sex to be far more commonplace, the rise of birth control that allowed women to delay and or avoid having children, the dramatic increase of women joining the workforce during these decades, various economic concerns, and the fact that Americans are waiting longer than ever to tie the knot.
Those are all true facts that we've kind of already alluded to.
These all certainly sound like ingredients that make for fewer babies and smaller families, but is that all that's at play here, or is there something else contributing to this trend?
Families and motherhood have been devalued for decades.
This is 100% true.
There's no doubt that later marriages and greater access to birth control, for example, have had a heavy influence on how many people were having children and how many children they were having, too.
But the mere existence of birth control doesn't keep people who desire children from having them, and neither does delaying getting married until 27, the average age for American women today to say, I do.
If Americans truly wanted more children, they'd keep having them.
So what else could possibly be causing this decades-long increase or decrease in birth rates?
Put simply, the nuclear family, a household in which both the mother and father are present and raising children together, began to lose its value in the eyes of Americans during the second half of the 20th century.
So much so that today there are just over half as many nuclear families as there were in 1970.
In times past, the nuclear family was the norm.
This simply isn't the case today.
It's true.
It's not.
And it's sad to see.
Along with the devaluing of the nuclear family came the trivialization of motherhood, a byproduct of the shifting cultural tides through the 1960s and 70s.
Motherhood became treated as less of a blessing for women and more of a curse that kept them from exercising personal freedom.
This dwindling interest in having children is the consequence of three generations of confusing commercial and feminist messaging, insisting that one's career is more important than family, says psychoanalyst, parent guidance expert and author Erika Lundgren.
Somehow we have managed to convince a generation that working 9 to 5 for a corporation is more noble than sustaining and nurturing human life.
Whereas in the 50s, just 16% of mothers had jobs outside of the home.
Today that figure has risen to nearly 70%.
alongside the rise in mothers with responsibilities aside from caring for children became a decline in seeing motherhood as a source of purpose and meaning instead many women now viewed motherhood as a distraction from their real purpose this is hardly to say that women shouldn't have pursue careers or have aspirations that include more than motherhood but rather sorry but rather than women feeling greater freedom to pursue passions and careers while also raising a family
this kind of messaging caused women to see having children as a waste of their potential or a loss of their identity and it's safe to say that it also contributed to the lower birth rates that the Fewer women wanting to have children and fewer people seeing having a family as partially positive or meaningful created less motivation in Americans to start having families.
It was actually kind of a sad realization.
a comeback.
So this is kind of the conclusion.
This is what makes Gallup's recent poll findings that 45% of American adults think three or more children would be ideal so intriguing and perhaps indicative of the new, albeit slow reemergence of the larger family unit.
And while U.S. birth rates still remain relatively low when compared to those of the early 20th century, the poll surmises that this could be attributed to Americans' ideal not yet matching up with the reality of their circumstances.
U.S. adults' views of the best family size have not always tracked with birth rates in the US, particularly in recent years.
While they may see larger families as ideal, other factors are preventing them from implementing this in their own lives.
So maybe we should just give it some time for millennials and Gen Z to make their dreams into a reality?
Well, I'll answer that.
I do think there's a re-emergence happening, and I think that it's not going to be among millennials that you're going to see this sort of idea, this scenario come true, which is that making three or more children the ideal family size again, right?
I think you're going to see this among Gen Zers.
And the reason why I say that, and probably the generation after them, is because right now we're kind of at a point in which we're grappling with the reality that Millennials kind of created, if you will, older millennials actually.
Now, older millennials have taken on views very similar to baby boomers.
Many of them were raised by baby boomers, myself included.
I'm a very young millennial.
I'm right on the bridge between Gen Z and millennial, but I consider myself millennial because I would say the culture that I grew up around was very much millennial-centric.
I definitely identify with that culture more than Gen Z. There are things that Gen Zers refer to, and I'm like, I don't even know what you're saying.
But that's neither here nor there.
The point in me saying that is that we were raised by baby boomers for the most part.
Millennials were.
And so our politics tend to go hand in hand with them.
And we were kind of raised to have a very liberal view of life.
A lot of us were raised by former hippies.
I wasn't.
My parents were not former hippies.
But many of my friends have taken on, or people, I shouldn't say friends, but acquaintances, people that I've grown up around, We're raised to have the same political beliefs as their parents, baby boomers, right?
And so millennials kind of helped further destroy the country, I would say, when it came to, you know, carrying on this idea of this second generation and the second wave of feminism.
Because remember, those hippies, the baby boomers, grew up in the 60s and 70s when that was a huge push.
People were very, very liberal, okay?
We had sort of a resurgence of conservatism to a degree in the 80s, but it was a short-lived period of time.
I would say for the most part, Things are starting to get more and more liberal ever since the 60s, the rise of second wave feminism.
So we kind of walked through that in the article already.
I don't want to delve too much into that, right?
But that's important context to have here because I think what we're looking at here is a situation in which our voting patterns, the way we vote has been heavily influenced by the fact that Americans for decades, many decades have viewed having children as a nuisance rather than a blessing.
When that mentality shift occurred, people obviously as a result stopped, well, having kids.
That was the whole point of that article, bringing up that history, the past there.
And so you're going to vote a lot differently when you're a single person with no family, with no wife, with no husband, than you would when you have other people to take care of, especially as a man, you know, as a man, like there's a huge responsibility on you as a father and as a husband to provide for your family.
When you don't have that responsibility, it's not as big of a deal for you if maybe your life isn't going to be as luxurious for a month.
Maybe you could take more risks with your voting.
And I'm going to be discussing this theory that I have on all of this in the second part of the show, but basically...
You start to vote differently.
There's a more specific idea behind that, which again I'll get to later on.
But you know, overall what we're seeing now is that people are starting to wake up to that reality of the world that childless people have created essentially.
And I'm not saying that every childless person votes the way that leftists do, votes with leftists.
I'm just saying that, you know, people who have more responsibilities, they have more on the line, they tend to be more conservative, okay?
I'm childless.
I'm 26 years old and I'm unmarried and I don't have kids yet.
But I'm conservative, okay?
So I'm not saying, again, use me as an example.
I'm not saying everybody who doesn't have kids votes liberally.
I'm just saying that people who do tend to have more on the line, do tend to have children, they do tend to vote more conservatively.
Big families, they're more concerned about, hey, can I afford this, this, and this?
We'll get into that again more in the second half of the show.
Anyways, I wanted to point out that...
Yes, we're absolutely—there's a lot of context as to why we ended up where we're at and why a lot of Gen Zers—I believe it's Gen Z, not millennials—who are saving this statistic, who are the ones who are kind of bringing back this resurgence of families.
They're the ones who are saving all of this.
And I do think that part of that—and I don't have any statistics to back this up to present today—but I think that many of you who are probably active on social media— You'll agree with me when I say that there also is a countercultural movement that was triggered by Gen Z that is very pro-Christian.
Once again, that is a result, I think, of seeing this onslaught of Satanism that millennials and baby boomers, their baby boomer parents, pushed.
Now, I don't want people to get offended in all of this because they're all going to be like, well, I'm a baby boomer and I'm a conservative and I'm a millennial and I'm a conservative.
Look, I'm a millennial too.
I'm a conservative.
I defy all, believe me, if there's anybody that defies all of the pigeonholed categories I should fall into, it is me.
It is Anna Perez.
I'm a Hispanic woman, millennial, and I'm probably the most conservative person I know and more so than most of the men I know, which is unusual.
I'm not, you know, I'm technically my race is white, but I'm a Hispanic, so ethnically I'm Hispanic, you know, and I, I certainly defy a lot of the things, the categories I'm supposed to fall under.
So by no means take this as a personal matter.
I'm generally speaking.
You need to start to separate yourself from the general numbers, okay?
Because I'm not speaking to people personally.
This is, again, based off of statistics, based off of me generally addressing society, all right?
So another article that I came across today, the same day I came across that article, that really inspired this episode was also...
Another statistic that I believe does lend itself to the fact that people are waking up to this anti-family depopulation agenda that the left and the government have been pushing for so long, and that's this statistic right here, okay?
Again, I just came across this today from Gateway Pundit, and I thought it was fascinating.
CDC reports record high in childhood vaccine refusals.
Refusals.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported a startling trend, a record high in childhood vaccine refusals.
According to the CDC's latest findings, 3% of children entering kindergarten during the 2022-2023 school year were granted vaccine exemptions by their states.
This figure, though seemingly small, is the highest ever recorded in the U.S. and represents a significant increase from previous years.
This trend is not isolated to a few states.
40 states witnessed a rise in exemptions, with 10 states reporting exemption rates soaring over 5%.
Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Wisconsin.
So that's pretty fascinating.
And by the way, this vaccine refusal statistic was not referring specifically to COVID vaccines.
This is everything on the vaccine schedule, which most kids probably took.
You know, I grew up with a baby boomer parent.
I was vaccinated with all the proper vaccines, right?
You know, I guess chicken pox, whatever else, polio vaccine, right?
I had all the standard vaccines because that's what my baby boomer mother was told I needed to happen.
But see, something happened recently, and that would, of course, be COVID, the COVID shot.
And all of the issues surrounding that, people dropping dead, dying suddenly, children developing heart issues that most people don't even develop later on in their older years in life.
Nothing makes sense.
Kids are developing heart problems, health conditions, dropping dead more than ever before.
We have all-cause morbidity issues that we're dealing with across the country.
Nobody seems to be able to answer.
The medical industry seems to be clueless as to what's causing people to just die suddenly, people to just Fall, you know, death, you know, die in their sleep.
It doesn't make any sense.
Well, Gen Z is paying attention to that.
And even millennials are.
There are even a good percentage of millennials that are just having babies now.
Some of them are Gen Z as well.
And they're looking around.
They're saying, you know what?
Maybe there is something to say here.
Maybe there is something to do with this whole depopulation thing.
Maybe those crazy conspiracy theorists or the people that my mom and my dad told me were crazy conspiracy theorists or that the mainstream media told me were crazy conspiracy theorists, maybe they were kind of onto something.
Because this isn't matching up with normalcy at all.
Like, why are children dying?
Why are they getting sick?
Why are so many kids autistic more than ever before?
Why?
Maybe they're onto something with this whole vaccine trend.
And so that's interesting to me.
I think people really are waking up.
I mean, I think those statistics prove right there.
Now, not to say that this is a crazy number that we're looking at here.
Again, 3%.
And, you know, just about half of Americans are starting to want bigger families.
But that's a silver lining.
That is hope for America.
That is hope for Western civilization.
Because let me be completely clear, and this is the whole reason I'm doing this show, is A pro-family society isn't just good for families.
It's good for everybody.
When you start to have kids, when you have children, when you have a family to think about, the way you vote completely changes.
That is if you weren't conservative before.
But many people are late to the realization that actually you shouldn't be voting in theory, you should be voting in reality.
And that's what we're going to be discussing coming up next because, like I said, those statistics provide a lot of hope.
But that hope didn't just arrive out of nowhere.
We didn't just wake up one day and decide, or Gen Z didn't just wake up one day and younger millennials such as myself didn't just wake up one day and decide, you know what?
I'm going to be more family-centric.
I'm going to start, you know, defying what, you know, the second wave feminists told me to believe.
I'm going to actually start to be more conservative when it comes to my perception of families and whether or not I'm going to be pro-family.
You know what?
That changes today.
No, they didn't just wake up one day and decide that, guys.
They grew up in a world that suffered the consequences of an anti-family, pro-depopulation agenda.
People had been voting for policies that were bad for everybody because they didn't have children to think about.
Yeah.
Now, I want to reiterate this, guys.
I am by no means saying that because you don't have children, you're automatically going to vote like a Democrat or you're automatically going to support the depopulation agenda.
Obviously not.
Okay?
That wouldn't make any sense because I myself do not have children, at least yet.
I mean, I want to have a family, but I'm still young, right?
And, you know, that is something that is a goal of mine.
I'm a conservative woman.
I value families.
I value motherhood more than my own career.
As soon as I have children, I don't plan on having a huge career focus.
Right now I do because obviously I need to do something to make money and I care deeply about saving America.
So that's why I chose this career.
With that said, guys, that's not really the point.
I just wanted to point out that I'm not by any means pigeonholing anybody.
I'm just speaking generally, OK?
And so what we're noticing, though, is that the more childless society became, the more they started to vote for harmful policies.
And those policies, we have proof of how harmful they were.
So we'll get to that in a moment, guys.
Before we move on, though, I do want to ask you to please rumble this show.
Hit that thumbs up button, guys.
It's also known as the rumble button that helps my show grow, that helps this network grow.
That helps us accomplish everything we want to do with this network.
I mean, the Stu Peters Network is just so, it's really on the rise.
And I've just been so impressed with all of the hosts here, all of the content that we've been able to expose to the American people because there's a lot of things that aren't being covered at other networks.
And, you know, we're not afraid to upset people here at the Stu Peters Network.
Please do like the video if you support us.
Share the link on your social media as well so more people can hear the truth about this topic.
All right, so I want to go ahead and talk about what exactly happening.
So what is the reasoning for this?
What is the reasoning for people just like waking up and deciding that they were going to start caring about families again, that they started to want families, that they started to want to protect their children from this depopulation agenda, that they even started believing in the depopulation agenda to begin with, right?
What exactly led to that?
Well, people are waking up to the reality of a divorce-ridden, anti-family culture.
They're waking up to the reality of what that looks like.
Okay?
Like I said, you vote differently when you only have yourself to think about.
It's a little thing I call voting in theory instead of voting based on reality.
Voting realistically.
What do I mean by that?
Well...
When the thing about Democrats, they tend to be leftists, but sometimes they can be Republicans that maybe aren't too conservative.
But the reality is, you know, a lot of people that we're dealing with today, they vote in theory because they don't actually have a stake in the game.
What do I mean by that?
You're gonna be more malleable to an agenda that you don't know how that affects, that doesn't affect you, right?
So for example, you're gonna be more susceptible to LGBTQ propaganda.
You're gonna hear all of the propaganda out there that says being pro-trans kids means that you're protecting the lives of trans children.
Now because you don't have a child yourself, You're not really thinking about the fact that being pro-trans doesn't just mean that you accept people for who they are.
It means that when you send your child to public school, that they're going to be indoctrinated to believe that they should be gay, that they're going to be sexualized, they're going to be groomed by some If you're a pedophile that somehow still has a job teaching, okay, you're not thinking about those consequences because you don't have a stake in the game.
Your child would be that stake.
Your child would be your main concern.
But when you don't have that, you're voting in theory.
And so you think, you're not really aware of the fact, and I'm not saying you, I'm saying people in general, you're not really aware of the fact, oh wait, If I vote for those things, how could that affect my child?
You don't have a child.
So you're thinking, oh, well, that's just nice.
They just want acceptance for children, right?
Okay, well, I'll vote for that person who's voting for that.
And I won't vote for that meanie Nazi conservative who says they want to ban, you know, sex books from public school.
Now, you know, people, I think...
Most conservatives, I would say, can see through the BS and they know exactly what's going on.
But like I said, there's a lot of uniparty voters out there that don't really realize what they're voting for.
They don't understand it.
And how could they?
They don't really have a stake in the game, once again.
Or maybe they're voting for policies that they think will help poor people.
But in reality, and they're okay with, maybe they're aware of the fact that it won't help them, but they're okay with taking that hit.
You'll hear this argument from a lot of leftists.
They'll be like, well, I know poor people need help, so I'm going to allow more of my taxes to be taken out for welfare.
Well, when you have a family, you don't want those taxes taken out because that means less money to send your kid to piano lessons.
That means less money to send your kid to karate practice.
You know, you start to prioritize.
Your children will be the most important thing in your life, the most important people in your life.
You may care about other people and the welfare of people you don't know, and that's good, you should, but they will never come before your very own children that you are trying to raise to be happy, healthy, productive members of society.
And the reality is, when you don't have those children, you're just voting in theory.
You don't have anybody to look after other than yourself.
And as an adult, you're probably not so concerned if life gets a little bit more difficult for you for a month.
You can survive.
You can take care of yourself, right?
And so...
Essentially, what we're seeing is a society of that times millions.
Millions of Americans didn't have kids over the past few decades or didn't have a lot of kids, and so they stopped voting in a way that a family would.
They stopped voting for family-centric policies.
And now we're reaping what we sowed, essentially.
Well, what do I mean by that?
Well, there's a few different issues I want to hit on that I think have been some of the major deciding factors in people wanting to have families now, or wanting to support family-centric policies.
What do I mean by that?
Well, there's one particular that I just kind of referred to, and that is the economy, okay?
When you start voting for leftist policies, you start to destroy the economy for everybody.
The economy is something that we all have to live under.
And so that's why I'm saying pro-family policies, pro-family, you know, the people who vote, who have families who are voting for the economy, they're voting for what would make, what would kind of, what would, I should say, Allow them to keep the most of their income because, again, they have a responsibility to provide for their families, so they're concerned about that, okay?
But when you start voting for people like Joe Biden, Bidenomics, the people who voted for Biden, a lot of them were childless.
A lot of these childless voters, they actually believed in Bidenomics, and now, as a result, look what we're dealing with.
A crappy economy, inflation on the rise, interest rates rising like crazy, okay?
That is what you get when you have less family-centric voters, when you have less people with families.
And that is exactly, these are the consequences.
Donald Trump actually pointed that out in one of his 47 agenda speeches.
So I'm going to go ahead and play that for you guys because he walked through all of the things that Biden did to destroy this economy.
And again, he is a result of childless voters.
The communist left always hurts the very people they pretend to help.
Under the disaster known as Bidenomics, Hispanic Americans, African Americans, and young people are hurting like never before.
The Biden economy, one-third of the Gen Z and millennials have absolutely no savings, nothing whatsoever.
Homeownership has been pushed out of reach for millions with the rate For a 30-year mortgage, up 157% and going much higher.
Real wages collapsed 26 months in a row, and that's a record.
Typical Americans have seen their incomes crushed by $7,400 a year since Biden took office, the biggest pay cut in many decades.
Credit card debt has just reached an all-time high with American consumers owing nearly a trillion dollars on their credit card bills, Up 17% from just a year ago, one of the largest increases in history.
This is an economic calamity and a human tragedy.
Very sad to watch.
My mission is to rescue hardworking families from the nightmare of Bidenomics and restore the American dream, something you don't hear too much about anymore, and that's going to be restored for you and for everyone you love.
Under my leadership, household net worth rose to an all-time high, and the African American, Hispanic American, Asian American poverty rates Hit an all-time low.
We built the greatest economy in the history of the world, and when I'm re-elected, we will quickly do that again.
No administration in modern times has matched the power of our America First economic formula, and they never even came close.
We had low taxes, low regulations, low inflation, maximum American energy production.
We were energy independent and fair and reciprocal trade.
Under Trump, every policy is about making life better and more affordable for hardworking American families.
So to every American who is struggling under crooked Joe Biden, and he is indeed crooked, the most crooked president we've ever had, help is on the way.
I am fighting for you as hard as I can.
We're doing a job.
Together we will make America wealthy again, and we will make America great again.
Thank you.
Now, whatever you think of Donald Trump, I know not all of you guys are total fans of his, but whatever you think about him, he's 100% correct there.
Because the thing about people who voted for Donald Trump, many of them had families of their own and they were concerned with the economy.
Donald Trump's a businessman.
They trusted the future of America's economy in his hands far more than they trusted somebody like Joe Biden, a man who barely worked a day in his life outside of the political sphere.
I mean, you can't compare the two.
When the economy is good for families, it's good for everybody.
You know, families have to work on maximizing their income, especially if they're a single-income household, which is ideal because you want a parent to be at home with a child, preferably the mother, or the children, I should say.
So those families are the ones who have to worry about money more than anybody else.
Not because they care about being able to afford luxury items and vacations, but because they know that a failing economy means less resources for their children.
They have much dire consequences to worry about when somebody like Joe Biden gets elected.
And so, again, I'm not saying that this is solely the reason why Joe Biden was in office.
And again, I don't actually believe he was elected.
I think that the election was stolen like many Americans do.
But the reality is, guys, the people who did vote for him, many of them were voting in theory, not realistically.
They don't have a stake in the game, meaning they don't have children.
And so that is the kind of idea that has destroyed America over time.
And it's not just when it comes to the economy, but also when it comes to the education system.
Again, alluding to what I brought up earlier.
If you don't have a child that you're sending to school, how would you know what's best for your child?
You wouldn't even be thinking about what's best for children.
Your mind's not there.
Your mind's on other things.
So the only way you're voting when it comes to what benefits kids, you're voting in theory.
You're not voting realistically.
Because it's not real for you.
It's just an idea.
Somebody tells you about the education system.
You're like, oh, that sounds good.
But you don't really know what is good because you don't have a child who attends school.
You don't have a child who actually has to live with the consequences of your actions.
Other people's children do.
So it's much easier for you to make a decision based off of what makes you feel good rather than what is good for society.
And so that's why people who have children We're good to go.
Identify as LGBTQ, according to a report the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released on Thursday using data from 2021.
In 2021, 75.5% of high school students identified as heterosexual.
The CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, YRBSS, So, what we're looking at here is essentially a society of people who are gayer than ever.
Why is that?
Oh, well, let's answer that question pretty easy to figure out here.
We don't have parents who are voting anymore.
We have single...
Cat ladies, overweight cat ladies, who are, you know, just drunk, single, 50-plus-year-old cat ladies who are voting for things in theory.
They're much more susceptible to the, oh, but the poor gay people, they're victims.
Oh, you're right, they are victims.
They're not thinking, oh, wait a second.
Wait a second.
They're going to try and push this BS on my kid because they don't have a kid.
They don't have a kid.
Don't you get it?
The more families we have, the more family-centric society we have, the better off everybody else is because those same kids that are being raised in the public school system that are becoming gay thanks to leftist policies that are failing our education system, those same kids, they're going to be out in the workforce and they're going to sue you when you misgender them.
They're going to sue you when you don't hire them because they clearly are mentally ill.
But they're going to say that you're just transphobic.
See what I mean here?
It's a domino effect, guys.
And we are now living with the effects of that already.
Everything I'm stating here, we are already living with those effects.
We are living the results of our actions that have compiled over decades of an anti-family agenda in the West.
We are now waking up where I should say Gen Z is now looking around and saying, holy crap, something's got to change here.
Okay?
Something's got to change here.
And at the rate we're going, more people are childless, living less traditional lives.
So maybe the answer to that is to do the opposite, like, I don't know, having kids.
So those people are now voting or are going to vote differently, okay?
And so, again, that's not the only problem that we're dealing with here.
We're also dealing with a country that is far less safe, thanks to the left's policies.
Now, another thing you worry about when you're a parent...
How can I ensure that my children will live in a safe, secure nation?
And I don't even just mean within this country, because crime rates are in fact out of control.
And it used to be the case that, you know...
We would have people sort of on neighborhood crime watch.
We had safe neighborhoods where families could live happily and safely.
You didn't have to lock your door at night.
I mean, I still recommend you do it.
But back then, you know, prior to the 60s, 70s, things were, you know, going pretty well for communities.
They worked together.
America was very community oriented.
Alexis de Tocqueville cataloged this when he visited America, you know, in a Democracy in America.
This is very well documented about America.
It's a very pro-community based country.
That is when you visit small towns.
But crime is so out of control that even these smaller communities are...
Reaping what they sowed in past decades of high crime.
And not just crime, guys, but people are also starting to vote for things in theory again when it comes to war, when it comes to our foreign policy.
For example, Joe Biden.
Now, people voted a lot of times...
Like I said, I know the election was stolen, okay?
But I will say this.
A lot of people voted for Joe Biden thinking that being a nicer guy was going to somehow be better for America.
Now, anybody with an IQ over two knows that that was a total lie.
However, people don't really think about the consequences.
They're not thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Voting has consequences.
Whoever you vote for...
That will lead to certain consequences and many people voted for Trump maybe not even liking the guy but realized at the end of the day he was going to keep our country safe and secure.
But many of them People who didn't have kids, specifically, voted for Joe Biden, the nicer guy, with the nicer tweets, not thinking that he was going to get us involved in World War III. Because they don't actually care.
They're not thinking about the future of this country or the safety of our country.
And so now we're in this predicament right now.
The likelihood there's going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely.
Taliban terrorists who are showing off the arsenal of weapons that the United States left behind.
In Afghanistan, you see American military equipment everywhere.
Americans who have been left in Afghanistan?
The Taliban parading what it says is some of the billions of dollars worth of American weapons and equipment they now have in their arsenal.
Mr.
President, on Afghanistan?
I'm not going to answer Afghanistan now.
It cost the lives of 13 U.S. soldiers.
From weapons, to Humvees, to aircraft, all left behind.
Putin came out of this with three big things.
He got a five-year extension on the SALT II treaty, he got the Nord Stream pipeline, and he got a globally transmitted summit with President Biden.
So Biden has been saying he's going to increase sanctions.
What it all has led to is an invasion.
For weeks, the administration has insisted sanctions would curb Putin's aggression.
Likely some incoming Russian strikes.
More than half of Americans now disapprove of how Joe Biden is handling the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
He's struggled to answer how to stop Putin from overtaking Ukraine.
This is the first time we have heard these sirens since war erupted between Ukraine and Russia.
Thank you very much.
The status of getting Americans out of Afghanistan.
Mr. President, what about...
That was an older video, so you heard a lot about Russia and Ukraine.
Now, those of you who know me know that I'm fairly pro-Russia, but ultimately, the most important priority to me is that we keep America out of war.
Joe Biden has obviously done the opposite by encouraging Ukraine to go to war with Putin, helping Zelensky fund this war, right?
Doing all that he can to make sure that Putin knows that Joe Biden's not on the side of Russia, that they are very much in the Ukraine camp, even though Americans are just like, can we just not go to a war?
And then also since then, also, we've gotten involved in a war with Iran, basically.
We are now sending troops and resources to Israel to defend Israel.
So clearly, clearly, we're not in a good position right now.
We have sleeper cells in this country.
Our border's a disaster.
There is almost nothing safer about this country after voting for Joe Biden.
I don't want to make this all about Joe Biden, by the way.
These are policies that we've been voting for slowly but surely over the past few decades.
Because more and more Americans, once again, are voting in theory rather than in reality.
People who vote in reality are people with a stake in the game, with lives on the line, meaning people who have children.
It is much different when you are living for your children than when you're living just for yourself.
And again, I cannot stress this enough.
I'm not saying that everybody who doesn't have kids votes for Democrats and everybody who has kids votes for Republicans.
That's not what I'm saying.
Or policies, I should say.
I'm just saying that when you have more on the line, you tend to be more careful about how you vote.
You tend to vote less based off of your emotions and more based off of reality.
And for so long we voted based off of our emotions because we have a childless society.
We have more people that are single.
We have less people who are voting for a better future for their children and therefore You know, less of a better future for Americans in general.
Because the thing is, when you have a family, the things you're going to vote for aren't just going to benefit your family.
They're going to benefit the entirety of America.
And that's what Gen Z is realizing.
That is what people are waking up to.
And if that's not convincing enough for you guys, then allow this last point to perhaps make it to you.
Maybe help you arrive at the same conclusion that I've arrived at.
Which is that, hey, you know, maybe more families have been better and maybe we are reaching a breaking point and a reawakening when it comes to realizing that.
And that would, of course, be the mental health crisis in this country.
Now, if anything else, I just want people to understand that people are not happy in a childless society.
A childless society is a depressed society.
And that's also something that Gen Z is waking up to the realization of.
Mental health campaigns and the rise of mental health problems.
This is from June 26, 2023, so very recent.
In recent years, mental health has gained increased attention and recognition as an important aspect of overall well-being.
Effects to raise awareness about mental health issues have grown significantly with campaigns, initiatives, And discussions aimed at reducing stigma and promoting help-seeking behaviors.
But there is a relationship between mental health awareness efforts and reported prevalence of mental health problems.
By examining the potential factors at play and considering the empirical evidence, we can gain a deeper understanding of this complex issue.
Now, you know...
This is proof right here, the fact that so many people are seeking out ways to access mental health care.
Clearly, people are more mentally ill than ever before, and you didn't need a statistic to prove that.
All you have to do is look around and count the amount of people you know that are on some sort of drug, SSRIs in particular, to curb their emotions, or perhaps to create emotions, to raise their serotonin levels.
Guys, Gen Zers in particular and millennials are on more medications than anybody else in any other time in history.
People are waking up to the realization that pro-family policies, that childless people voting, or the majority of childless people voting, maybe isn't the best thing for America.
Maybe when you have more families, you tend to vote better.
Maybe a pro-family society isn't so bad after all.
And maybe convincing women that being childless gave you more options in life and therefore made you happier in life wasn't the answer.
And so there's a lot.
To be hopeful about here.
Because the very fact that Americans can finally see with their own two eyes what happens, what happens when you take away families, when you raise people in a society that starts to vote based in theory rather than in reality.
When you start to vote that way, you start to realize, you know, maybe it's better when you have a stake in the game.
Maybe A pro-family America is a better America for everyone.
If we want to make America great again, we're going to have to make families great again.
And I'm happy to report that that seems to be something people are coming to the realization of.
All right, guys, so I do have one last clip I want to show you that I actually meant to get to earlier this week, I believe on my Monday show, but I never got around to it because I was on some sort of rant, I forget.
But anyways, sorry, I had an itch in my nose.
I'm not picking my nose.
I was scratching it, just to be clear.
But please do like the show if you haven't already.
Hit that thumbs up button.
Also share the link on your social media.
I do want to go ahead and show you this one last clip.
It kind of made me laugh.
Kind of.
It did make me laugh.
So this is Fetterman.
John Fetterman, of course.
With another self-own.
I don't know how many self-owns this guy's going to have.
But basically, guys, he was like...
Making fun of the fact that he had a stroke, which just further proves how retarded this guy is.
This is not something that you should ever say.
It just does not make you look good, okay?
We already know the truth, Fetterman.
You're obviously a degenerate freak who has zero brain cells left, but it doesn't help.
It doesn't help when you self-own yourself over and over and over again.
Anyways, here is John Fetterman doing what he does best.
Self-owning.
Okay, take a look.
That's why I'm here.
She's why all of you are here.
But moments later, he's interrupted by a protester.
4,000 plus dead children in Palestine.
9,000 plus dead civilians.
Get off the stage.
Get off the stage.
I don't care.
That's not what you're saying.
You represent me.
This is not what you're saying.
You represent me.
You represent me.
Then, Fetterman says this.
The joke is on you.
I had a stroke.
I can't fully understand what you're saying.
The man is eventually escorted out by police as he tells the senator to go home.
Another protester speaks.
The joke's on you.
I can't understand what you said.
I had a stroke.
Yeah, that's not good.
That's not good that you can't understand what he clearly said there as a senator.
And that's not exactly something you should be advertising as though you're proud of it.
But there you go, guys.
Another perfect example of what happens when we have childless people voting for these, of course, terrible, terrible candidates.
All right, guys.
So that concludes today's show because we are running out of time here.
However...
Yeah, I mean, I can't think of a better example of how we failed people than John Fetterman.
But on that note, guys, I do have to close out the show.
Thank you so much for tuning in tonight.
I hope to be back live Monday.
I will be back live Monday.
Today, of course, it was just usually I do my Friday shows pre-tape.
I think I did a rerun the past two days, so I'm really sorry about that, but I've just been traveling nonstop.
Happy to be back, though.
Thank you so much for tuning in today, guys.
I do hope you have an amazing rest of your Friday night, and I will see you back here Monday for another episode of Wrong Thing Primetime.
Don't forget to rumble on your way out, and I will see you then, guys.
See ya.
