00:00:00
I don't think this is going to come as a
00:00:01
shocker on anyone anybody but I
00:00:03
officially endorsing uh Harris walls for
00:00:06
president vice president and my
00:00:08
prediction is that a Harris
00:00:11
Administration which be would be much
00:00:13
better for young men and I believe that
00:00:15
young men are some of the last available
00:00:17
swing voters because they don't
00:00:18
traditionally vote when they get excited
00:00:20
they vote they almost always or they
00:00:22
disproportionately vote at least until
00:00:25
recently for Democrats so I believe the
00:00:27
news kind of the Swing voters are young
00:00:29
men and this is why I think young men
00:00:31
would be better
00:00:32
served uh voting for vice president
00:00:35
Harris and that I encourage them to do
00:00:36
so and that is I think it everybody
00:00:38
needs a code whether it's from your
00:00:40
religion whether it's from the armed
00:00:42
services whether it's from your company
00:00:44
everybody needs kind of an anchor to
00:00:46
hold on to and guide the millions of
00:00:48
decisions they have to make in a
00:00:49
complicated world and I increasingly
00:00:52
believe that young men uh can call on or
00:00:55
what I'm hoping they can develop as a
00:00:57
new code is a modern form of masculinity
00:00:59
and and those three things are The
00:01:01
Following being a uh a provider a
00:01:05
protector and a procreator and I want to
00:01:06
go through each of these and why I
00:01:08
believe the Harris Administration and
00:01:09
policies would enable men to foot to
00:01:11
those I like this by the way the
00:01:13
Washington Post has yet to make one Jeff
00:01:15
Bezos get off your ass and make one but
00:01:17
go ahead I love that you're doing okay
00:01:19
so provider I think a decent place for
00:01:21
any man to start is to take economic
00:01:23
responsibility for for his household now
00:01:26
that doesn't mean that you're going to
00:01:28
get in the way of your wife or your
00:01:30
partner who might be better at that
00:01:31
money thing when my partner was a
00:01:33
Goldman Sachs and making more money than
00:01:34
me I tried to pick up the slack at home
00:01:36
and not be threatened by it and that is
00:01:38
also taking economic responsibility but
00:01:40
a good starting point is that
00:01:42
recognizing three and four women see
00:01:44
economic viability is key to a maid it's
00:01:45
only one informed men about women
00:01:48
unfortunately I'm not talking about the
00:01:49
way the world should be but the way it
00:01:51
is men are disproportionately EV
00:01:53
evaluated on their economic viability
00:01:55
you need to be a provider and under the
00:01:57
Harris Administration you're talking
00:02:00
about uh an economic strategy that
00:02:02
everyone from Goldman Sachs to basically
00:02:04
every living Nobel Prize winner economic
00:02:07
is going to say is going to uh winter is
00:02:08
going to result in Greater growth and
00:02:10
with the Trump Administration as a young
00:02:12
man you are talking about what Will
00:02:13
effectively be the greatest tax increase
00:02:15
in history on you and it's the following
00:02:18
it'll be a deficit that will be triple
00:02:20
than what would be under the Harris
00:02:21
Administration why is a deficit the
00:02:23
biggest tax in history on you because
00:02:25
Caris fer and Scott Gallow will not be
00:02:26
alive to pay back that deficit you will
00:02:29
have to pay back so what young people
00:02:31
haven't connected the dots on is that
00:02:33
deficit spending is nothing but a tax on
00:02:35
them such that I can have champagne and
00:02:36
cocaine now you're going to have to pay
00:02:38
it back not me there are a variety of
00:02:41
different economic plans whether it's a
00:02:43
housing credit whether it's loans for
00:02:45
small businesses that are meant to put
00:02:47
more money in the pockets of young
00:02:49
people specifically young men and enable
00:02:51
you to be a better provider
00:02:54
protector your default setting as a man
00:02:56
should be one of protection you don't
00:02:58
need to understand the the Nuance around
00:03:00
illegal or undocumented workers but when
00:03:02
you see them being demonized your your
00:03:05
default setting should be to move to
00:03:06
protection you don't need need to
00:03:08
understand or agree with the Trans
00:03:09
Community but when you see them being
00:03:11
demonized your default should be as a
00:03:14
protector real men break up fights and
00:03:16
bars they don't start them real men
00:03:18
protect their country they don't shipost
00:03:21
it Harrison walls have a much greater
00:03:25
default setting around protection and I
00:03:28
especially think vice president Wall's
00:03:29
Pres present a wonderful image as a man
00:03:31
being a protector and that is and I love
00:03:33
the story of him hearing about the LGBT
00:03:36
community at his high school feeling
00:03:38
bullied and him enacting the football
00:03:40
team to come to their aid that is
00:03:41
exactly what it means to be a man to be
00:03:44
a protector and then finally procreator
00:03:47
the most rewarding thing in life and I'm
00:03:48
not saying you have to do this to be
00:03:50
happy but the most rewarding thing I
00:03:52
know in your life Cara and in my life
00:03:54
has been raising children with a
00:03:55
confident loving partner and I did not
00:03:57
when I saw my partner or the mother my
00:03:59
children at the Raleigh Hotel at the
00:04:01
pool I was not thinking that she'd be
00:04:03
great at buying distressed properties
00:04:05
and fixing them up or she'd be a good
00:04:06
person to sa for a 41k I had one thought
00:04:09
and that is I would really really like
00:04:11
to have sex with this person and wanting
00:04:13
to have sex with women and being
00:04:15
successful at it and figuring out the
00:04:16
nuance and the skills and the strength
00:04:18
and the humor and showering and enduring
00:04:20
the rejection and being funny and being
00:04:22
kind such that you can have sex with
00:04:24
women is a wonderful thing and it's
00:04:26
something you should be proud of and
00:04:28
your ability your ability to be
00:04:30
attractive to women will be easier under
00:04:32
a Harris Administration and if I did a
00:04:35
survey around would young men like to
00:04:37
have more or less sex I'm pretty sure
00:04:40
the vast majority of them would say I
00:04:41
would like to have more sex and if you
00:04:42
want to have more sex if you want to
00:04:45
have more sex then we absolutely need to
00:04:48
cauterize reject turn around this
00:04:51
ridiculous notion that women are going
00:04:52
to have their bodily autonomy taken
00:04:54
because if you want to have random sex
00:04:56
and let's be clear the majority of
00:04:59
relationship involve at some point maybe
00:05:01
a little bit of alcohol and a little bit
00:05:02
of random sex if the woman is thinking
00:05:04
about random sex and then says you know
00:05:06
what I might be in an emergency room
00:05:09
parking lot unable to terminate a
00:05:11
pregnancy even if I have sepsis because
00:05:13
the doctor might go to jail if I have to
00:05:15
carry an unwanted pregnancy to term both
00:05:17
you and her are going to be economically
00:05:19
disabled the fastest way to have less
00:05:22
sex is to let more people get on the
00:05:24
Supreme Court and to take away a woman's
00:05:26
bodily autonomy so guys you want to get
00:05:28
laid more make sure women have bodily
00:05:31
autonomy let's review your ability to be
00:05:33
a provider I'm very serious about this
00:05:36
I think sex is a wonderful thing
00:05:38
and the notion kids young people are
00:05:41
having less sex it is terrible and it is
00:05:44
a wonderful thing and the notion that
00:05:46
you and your partner have to be much
00:05:49
more thoughtful and scared of actually
00:05:51
having sex is terrible for everybody one
00:05:55
your ability to be a provider economic
00:05:56
policies that make it easier for you to
00:05:58
be economic responsible for your
00:06:00
household two a default setting around
00:06:02
being a provider and three your ability
00:06:05
to form a family at your pace with
00:06:08
economic responsibility through bodily
00:06:10
autonomy all of these add up to uh vice
00:06:13
president Harris being nominated and
00:06:16
elected for our president so if you are
00:06:18
a young man I would encourage you to
00:06:20
lean into your code around masculinity
00:06:22
and those that code leads to one place
00:06:25
and that is a Harris Administration wow
00:06:27
that is I have not heard that one if you
00:06:29
want have sex vote Harris I like it
00:06:32
that's what we're saying correct there
00:06:34
you go if I had to boil it down all
00:06:36
right that's an interesting and novel uh
00:06:39
thing I just like her that's why I'm
00:06:41
voting for her
