There's a really disturbing trend on Reddit that you should know about. Plus, my thoughts on Gigi Hadid's and Kanye's recent beef."
Happy Thursday, folks! And my question for you today is, are you on Reddit?
You guys know what I'm talking about? Reddit is a bunch of forums, a bunch of different
communities. Have you ever been there? Have you ever jumped on to see what's taking place on
Reddit? If you haven't, don't worry, because we're going to discuss it. It's turning into
something very dark. Plus, I'll be giving you my thoughts on the Gigi, Hadid, and Kanye drama,
as well as the Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen divorce. All that and more today on Candace
Ellen's. Okay, before we continue, I want to take a quick pause to talk to you about the app
Halo. You all know that my faith is super important to me. My relationship with God is
how I find my strength and peace in this crazy world. And with all of the insane anti-religious
ideologies that are being pushed by the left on a daily basis, it can be hard to tune out the
noise and remember what we know is good and true, which is why I love Halo. Halo is the number one
Christian prayer app in the U.S. and the number one Catholic app in the world. It's rooted in the
Catholic tradition, but an amazing resource for any Christian looking to dive deeper into their
prayer life. This is perfect for me and my family, because as most of you know, I'm in a mixed faith
household. My husband is a devout Catholic, and I am Protestant. Halo has prayers and meditations
to guide you throughout your entire day, morning, tonight. Some of the most popular prayers include
the daily rosary, gospel reading, and daily psalm with Bishop Barron. Plus, there are minute
meditations, meditations for sleep, kids' prayers, and meditations. Halo helps me sleep better,
lower my anxiety levels, and find peace and calm throughout the day, and I think it will do the
same for you. Try it for three months free at halo.com slash candice. That's halo.com slash
candice. Reclaim your peace and download Halo today. All right, so a continuing theme on this
show is that we have been talking about the harms and the ills associated with social media. I think
that's very important, and I want to make sure that I use my platform to continually impress
upon that point and to make sure you know what's happening online so that if you have a child and
you're thinking about allowing them to explore social media, you know what harms they should
look out for. As just one example, last week we discussed TikTok, which I still hold the opinion
is the most harmful app of them all, but we talked about how this Chinese-owned app was artificially
boosting these perverted accounts. Remember, there was this guy who was frolicking through
the woods in a video saying, this is my first day as a woman. You would think that it was meant to
be a joke, but now he's receiving an award over at Forbes for the Forbes Women's Summit, and so you
start to wonder if there's something more nefarious going on, if they're intentionally putting a
spotlight and highlighting these horrific accounts because they want to further corrode American
culture. And what we're talking about, by the way, when we talk about that, it would be essentially
an anti-marketing firm, right? So if you are running a marketing firm, you want to promote
things that are good, right? I want you to buy my product. I think my product is great, so how can I
get more eyeballs on this product? But if you're an anti-marketing firm, if you're thinking about
it in the same vein and you're China and you're thinking, forget me wanting to sell you a product
that I think is good, but I want to detract people and bring them to something that is harmful
to make sure that in the end it benefits me, right? It benefits China. We want to weaken
Americans over time. What better way to do that than to destroy and attack the American family,
destroy and attack what it means to be a man, destroy and attack what it means to be a woman,
conflate the two, confuse the children, and promote bad principles. This brings me to Reddit. Now, I
used to, by the way, be obsessed with Reddit, especially when I was pregnant for the first time
because I was not able to sleep well and I'd be tossing and turning. I used to love to open
Reddit. If you're not familiar with what Reddit is, I'll tell you what it is. It's basically a
social media app that allows you to subscribe to certain threads, right? You can start a thread.
Let's say I want to start a thread and my thread is fashion. You like fashion. It allows people to
anonymously post under that thread. You could be the writer and you can say,
just saw Candace Owens wearing this amazing outfit, and then a bunch of other anonymous
people, everyone on Reddit is anonymous, I want to make that clear, can comment and upvote it and
say, I like this or I like that. I started realizing with time that Reddit was incredibly
left-leaning. If you ever posted anything as a conservative, it would be downvoted all the time,
but if you promoted things that were clearly left-leaning ideologies, it would suddenly get
a lot of attention. I started asking myself a question, how do we know these are actually real
people? It's anonymous, so if you are operating, and as I'm describing it, an anti-marketing firm,
this would be a perfect place for you to promote, artificially boost up these Reddit threads of
things that are horrific and bad and backwards. You could even employ people to full-time just
write comments and to pretend that the majority of people feel this way. The majority of people
think trans is good. Look, it's got a million upvotes, this person coming out and saying that
he is a woman or this girl that's coming out and saying she now identifies as a male.
I'm starting to realize that this app is getting deeper and it's getting darker.
Somebody reminded me of a particular community on Reddit that is so dystopian and it's so dark,
and that community is called ChildFree. There is a legitimate community on Reddit,
and everyone that is subscribed to it, 1.5 million subscribers. These are anonymous subscribers,
some, but sure. Actually, these people unite around the idea that your life will be better
if you never have a family, if you never have children. I remember seeing this feed because
it had been heavily promoted, and I remember seeing content of individuals who would just
post a photo. Let's say you're at the airport and you see a kid crying, and you see the parents
struggling with that child trying to calm them down. Well, an individual that was a part of
this community would snap that photo, put you into this Reddit community, and say,
a reminder why I'm so happy that I don't have kids. People would upvote it, and they would
start laughing, and they'd say, my God, yes, look at that toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
This is what the community is based on. I remember reading a particular thread where
somebody had posted legitimately asking for help. This was a male that was posting,
and he was turning to this community saying, please intervene and give me some advice because
I'm going through a horrific situation. The situation was as follows. He was dating a woman,
and they had agreed to be child-free. They had agreed that neither of them had wanted children,
and they had been together for some eight years. Suddenly, the woman was about 32 years old.
She decided that she wanted to have children. Go figure. I guess suddenly her biology was catching
up with her. He freaks out and says, oh, no, there must be something wrong with you. He posts
in this community saying, please, somebody help. Then he says, I think that she's going crazy
because she recently switched her birth control. I think that she's becoming hormonally imbalanced,
and this is not actually what she wants. I'm reading this thinking, oh, my gosh,
what an insane individual. He basically has a woman in his life who is having a natural,
biological, physiological inclination to start a family. He thinks that she's crazy, that
something's gone wrong with her birth control pills. Surely, everyone's going to tell him he's
out of his mind. No. All of the subsequent comments that I read on this thread were people
telling him to sit her down and to explain to her that this can be the effects of changing
your birth control and that she needs to go back to the old birth control. They were apologetic.
They were sympathetic. They were saying to him that he was going to get through this,
and he just had to make her realize that she was having a hormonal reaction from being on the wrong
birth control. I mean, how dystopian and anti-family is that to think that they're trying
to essentially diagnose this woman as crazy because she wants children? So if you see this
thread, you'll see this over and over again. Here's one such example of another post,
and this one is entitled, Not Having the Abortion is the Biggest Regret of My Life.
I'm going to skim through this. She writes, I posted about this on another sub to Vents,
and I was recommended to post here for support. When I got pregnant, all I wanted was to abort.
I never wanted to be a mom. It was the time between getting my arm implant birth control
replaced so we were using condoms. But part of me now wonders if he sabotaged them somehow.
I always thought we were on the same page about kids, but he was so happy when I told him that I
was pregnant. I was horrified. I wanted to get rid of it and decided telling everyone and having them
guilt trip me was the best way to handle it. But I guess he was right because it worked. I caved.
I kept telling myself that it would be okay. He was sticking around to help me. This didn't
have to ruin my life. I could go back to school and finish my degree. It would be fine.
I read all the mommy forum posts and Reddit posts of moms in my position who talked about
how glad they were that they didn't go through with the abortion and were so happy and loved
their child more than anything. And I convinced myself to believe them. I was wrong. So effing
wrong. Biggest regret of my life. He left one month before the birth. Gone. No way to contact
him. I was left to do this on my own. I wanted to kill myself then and there. It was too late
for the abortion. I missed my chance to be free. He stole that from me. When I decided to go the
route of adoption, all of my friends and families treated me like I was a monster.
My mom was especially cruel. I was subhuman, disgusting. How could I not want my own baby?
And I made the second biggest mistake. I caved for a second time and I kept him.
I never got that flood of love and emotion that people talk about. I felt too repulsed to
breastfeed him. Everyone told me to give it six months, that sometimes it takes a while
that I would love him more than anything. That never happened. I was more miserable than ever.
Then they told me to give it a year, that being unhappy is normal, but I can't imagine disliking
your own child is normal. I spent my whole childhood faking how I felt and going through
the motions and I did the same now. I dissociated most of the time and sunk deeper down in a mental
spiral. At a year old, I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like if I didn't give him someone else,
I was going to kill myself. Six months later, the adoption was done and it was the first time that
I felt free in so long. I cried. I was so happy. So it goes on and on and she's describing how
happy she is that she got rid of her child in this child-free community. And basically, she gets 549
comments applauding her, telling her how sorry they are and how awful children are. And she's
grateful and writes back and says, thank you guys so much for all of the kind responses. They're
overwhelming. I am so glad that I found this community. And I wanted to just bring this to
your attention because we routinely on this podcast talk about this leftist push towards
anti-family. Now, I'm not saying that there are reasons that she had a traumatizing experience.
I can't imagine having a man that walked out after you became pregnant and wasn't there to assure
you. It's very difficult, by the way, being a single mom, which is why it's horrific that the
single mom culture is glorified so much in the media and throughout the music. But what is horrible
is that she can plug into a community that mocks families and that makes it seem like people that
have children are doing something that's antithetical to their species, right? It's like,
why on earth would you want to have productive families? Why on earth would you want to raise
a child? Why would you think that you're going to feel love at the end of that? And when we talk
about all of the various topics, the one thing that unites all of the leftist talking points
is an attack on the family. We talk about the climate change lobby, which insists that it's
irresponsible to have children, right? We talk about the trans agenda, teaching children to
mutilate their bodies before they can become reproductive adults and start their own families.
We talk about why they hate God so much, why they are so atheist and committed to atheism,
is because ultimately what they're after is statism, right? They want the state to be able
to control every aspect of your life. And what stands between the state and omnipotence are
strong families. So keep your eye on this. Know that this stuff exists. The more that we know,
the better we can make decisions down the line in terms of what access we provide our children
to these social media apps, which have become so harmful. And that's all I have to say about that.
Okay, now it's time for some topics du jour. I feel like I'm getting better at saying topics du jour
every time. I feel like I say it now better because I went to Paris and so I'm trying on my
French accent everywhere. Speaking of Paris, you guys obviously know that I broke the internet
because I wore a White Lives Matter t-shirt. How dare I? Well, I dare to do it because it's true.
White lives matter, right? Black lives matter, white lives matter, Asian lives matter. I don't
know what the problem is, but apparently there is a problem. And speaking of Reddit, I want to draw
this to your attention. So problematic, so problematic was it that Kanye and I decided
to wear these t-shirts that a Reddit thread was started. The community on Reddit is called
NYC Influencer Snark. And somebody anonymously posted,
celebs that follow Candace Owens, question mark, question mark. And they are doing this because
they want to draw to attention what celebrities follow me. I have what, 4.3 million followers.
They can now conclude that if you follow Candace Owens, you must therefore be somebody that
supports ideas that they disagree with. And so what they're trying to do is create an army to
go after and to attack these individuals. Now, I speak about a range of topics. Who knows why
people follow me? It might be simply because they hate me. And they're following me because
they're journalists and they want to report on the things that I say. A lot of journalists follow me.
Maybe you're an influencer and you follow Candace Owens because I speak out about the
childhood vaccine schedule. Because you are pregnant and you are thinking about having
children. And so you follow me because you're waiting for that information.
Maybe you follow me because, gasp, you like me and you think I'm awesome and you just want to
follow me. But you follow me because you love the family stuff, the pro-family stuff that I post.
Maybe you follow me because you enjoyed the stuff that I said about Donald Trump during his policy.
I don't know what the reason is for each and every individual follow. I know I have a lot
of haters and I have a lot of lovers out there. But irrespective of what your reasons are,
this thread is essentially demanding that people are harassed. That's what they're
asking for, right? The party of tolerance, the tolerant people. They're so tolerant
that they want to have an army to send on you. They want to send an army out to say,
this person should lose their job. If you read throughout the thread, people commenting. It's
like, my gosh, this person. My God, this person. We should report this person for this. I hope this
person gets fired. They're even suggesting that somebody who works for Peloton, who recently got
fired and happened to have followed me, maybe he got fired for following me, which would be the
most bizarre thing in the entire world. Imagine your boss sitting you down and saying, we're
letting you go because we realized that you follow Kanye West. You'd be like, I'm sorry, what? Yeah,
we realized that you're following Kanye West, and so we're going to have to let you go.
Is this really where the world is coming to, that individuals now have to be concerned about who
they're following on Instagram? I accidentally follow people. I mean, sometimes literally I go
to my phone list and I'm like, wow, I must have just been scrolling and hit the follow button.
I have no idea why I'm following this individual. Well, you better be careful with your thumbs and
careful with your fingers because God forbid you accidentally followed me, you might be losing your
job. This is what the people on the left are all about. Acceptance, tolerance, we love, love is
love, except really we hate you unless you agree with every single thing that we say and unless
you comply with the individuals that we say you should like. How's that for the party and the
group of the most tolerant in America? Keep your eye on that because it's pretty sick and it's
pretty twisted. Moving on, however, I want to talk about the Tom Brady and Gisele Bundgen allegedly
divorced, right? They're saying it is being alleged that they have both hired divorce lawyers.
We know that she has not been present at any of his games, which is strange. It is out of habit
for her. Again, I'm not trying to draw conclusions, but it was recently linked to page six that they
have been living completely separately and that the trouble began because he notoriously
announced that he was retiring from football and he gave basically comments that it was time for
him to let his wife shine. Gisele Bundgen stepped back from her career to raise their kids and he was
excited to be spending more time with his family. So getting back to the importance of family,
this was a celebrated announcement. Everybody knows Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback
of all time. He has proven that time and time again that he is an incredible athlete.
Even as he is getting older, he still seems to be the best quarterback and people applauded him
and there were tears and just celebrating the amazingness of all that he accomplished on the
field. Well, now a source says that quote, there's been trouble in the marriage over his decision to
unretire. Gisele has always been the one with the kids. They had agreed that he would retire to
focus on the family. Then he changed his mind end quote. And there was also a quote that Gisele
gave herself to British Vogue. She said, I don't think relationships just happen. It's never the
fairy tale. People want to believe it is. It takes work to be really in sync with someone,
especially after you have kids. His focus is on his career. Mine is mostly on the kids.
And, you know, I think that that is true. And he has admitted that, as I said, by himself.
So it's very sad to me that it appears at least that at being given the option to have had
everything he wanted to have had the amazing career he wanted to have accomplished things
that most people will never know who knows when Tom Brady's record will be broken,
his Super Bowl record will be broken. But despite having everything, the perfect life,
quite literally the model wife, that he's unable to do something that is selfless.
And what marriage takes is selflessness, right? You have to renew that commitment to a person
every day and say that I am not the bigger person in this relationship. Sometimes it's you having
to remove a little bit of yourself. Sometimes it's the your partner and spouse who has to remove
a little bit of themself so that you can have this union so that you can stay in sync.
And it seems that when this came to Tom Brady, when he had an opportunity to say,
thank you so much for being a wonderful wife. Thank you so much for being a wonderful mother.
And thank you for allowing me to have this career. I am now going to step back.
He changed his mind. And it's understandable that she feels this way. I can understand
how broken she must feel. She must be questioning whether or not he ever really
loved and supported her or if he really just loved how much he supported his career.
If there was always this underlying selfishness that's always existed.
My hope is that despite hiring these divorce lawyers, that both of them understand the
commitment that they made to one another and the vows that they said, which people I feel today
say and don't truly mean, don't really understand what it means to have a union that exists.
And I hope that he re-explores it and that he announces randomly in the middle of the season
that he's leaving and he's going back home and that he goes and loves his wife in the capacity
that she deserves to be loved for all of her tremendous sacrifices. So Tom Brady,
if for some reason you're watching this, we all love you. We love you as an athlete,
but I promise you we will love you more as a true leader of your household. Go get the girl.
Next story I want to jump right into is that, if you were imagining that Facebook and Twitter
were interfering in elections and you maybe said that and got your post taken down.
Facebook has come right out and announced that there will be 40 teams with hundreds of people
working on the midterms focused on quote, preventing voter interference, connecting
people with reliable information, and providing industry leading transparency for ads about
social issues, elections, and politics. So they're gonna prevent voter interference by interfering.
Does that sound confusing to you? Yeah, I mean, they are going to make sure that people
don't share things without their approval. They have hired the teams that are going to be smart
enough to understand exactly what it is that you need to see. Just like they were super smart in
understanding that Hunter Biden's laptop was not something that needed to be seen.
And so they all colluded and took down the information which would have let you know
that the Biden crime family had a crackhead who was doing deals overseas using his father
and doing deals in Ukraine and doing deals in China, right? They made sure that you didn't
know about that until after the election because they wanted to make sure that Biden won.
But so it's interference, but it's their interference. Essentially, they are going to be
the people that is going to be between you and the information that might allow you to think for
yourself. Allow Facebook and Twitter to do the thinking for you. So meta, meta, I know Facebook
is now called meta. Nick Clegg, his name is Nick Clegg, pardon, he is the President of Global
Affairs. And he said that they will partner with the Biden administration through an alliance with
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The reason why that makes me laugh,
and when I say laugh, I mean it is a dark sense of humor, is because weigh that against the
headlines of them telling us all the time that Putin is interfering with elections and we are
the only ones that know how to do things fairly. Putin is censoring people, evil Vladimir Putin
censoring, getting involved in elections. And we're just supposed to go, yeah, that could never
happen in the West except it's happening in the West. And we're not even allowed to say that we
believe that our elections have been stolen. Even when they come right out and they say that they're
gonna interfere with elections, we still can't post and say Facebook is admitting that they're
interfering with elections because that could be information that is harmful to the regime
that we are existing under, okay? Stop thinking that the Western philosophy is somehow better or
different than the Eastern philosophy. In the East, they just do it outright, the corruption.
In the West, they do it outright and then they make sure that these social media companies and
these legacy media companies hide all the information from us. So that is all I have to
say about that. Next up in the continuing drama between Kanye West and all of these celebrities
who love Black Lives Matter, they just really care about black people. Gigi Hadid was
apparently very upset and thought that it would be a good idea to use her platform to speak out on
behalf of Vogue editor Gabriela Karifa Johnson, probably because this Vogue editor is black and
this would have been some good virtue signaling for Gigi Hadid. So she speaks out because Gabriela
Karifa Johnson, the Vogue editor, was invited to a show. She was there. And as she was at the show,
she somehow made the show about herself and pretended that she was under attack. So she was
posting live on Instagram throughout the show. First, she posts a black model walking down the
runway who was wearing a White Lives Matter shirt. She posted a photo of her and wrote,
here comes the bulls**t, followed by I'm fuming, collecting my thoughts, DM me for my working
thesis, indefensible behavior. And then she wrote on her Instagram page, it's become clear that some
viewers think my previous post containing my working evolving thoughts on Kanye's show was
some sort of distorted justification for the incredibly irresponsible and dangerous act of
sending White Lives Matter t-shirts down a runway. Dangerous, my God. Please understand it wasn't.
The t-shirts this man conceived, produced, and shared with the world are pure violence. Okay.
There is no excuse. There is no art here. I'm sorry I failed to make that clear. I thought I
did. I do think if you asked Kanye, he would say there was art and revolution and all the things
in that t-shirt. There isn't. As we all work through the trauma of this moment, especially
those of us who suffered in that room, let's have some grace for one another. Gabriella Kay, Vogue
editor, trauma, violence, dangerous, suffering, all of my favorite leftist bingo words. She's so sad,
guys. She had to go to Paris and go into a room and watch a billionaire present his show. And
God forbid she saw a t-shirt and she's now suffering trauma. I mean, could she speak even
louder? Could she ever be clearer in the message that I have about how weak black America has
become? Decades ago, you had people like my grandfather who grew up on sharecropping farms,
right? Who had to wake up at the crack of dawn and under the Carolina heat, lay out crops to dry
when he was five years old. Fast forward and you got big girl Gabriella in her really ugly shoes,
which is what Kanye came back to her and said that you are clearly, he posted her on his Instagram
and said, this is not a fashion person. And he's right. If you see what she's wearing,
she looks absolutely ridiculous. She was probably a diversity and inclusion hire over at Vogue.
But fast forward to years later, decades later, and this woman thinks this is suffering. She
actually thinks she's suffering because she was made to go to a fashion show in Paris.
This is pathetic. This woman is pathetic, worse than unfashionable. She is emblematic of the
corrosion of black America. While they're trying to tell you that we're strong, right? Because
we're wearing BLM t-shirts and we're riding and looting our own communities. What you're actually
seeing is a severely weakened community. Severely weakened community, an emotionally weak community.
That's the truth. And that's why people hate me because I just tell them the truth, you're weak.
So Gigi Hadid decided to jump in in defense of this woman. And she wrote to Kanye,
you wish you had a percentage of her intellect. You have no idea. If there's actually a point to
any of your, she might be the only person that could save you. As if the honor of being invited
to your show should keep someone from giving their opinion, lol. You're a bully and a joke.
That's from Gigi Hadid. What interesting about Gigi Hadid, by the way, fun fact, her sister is
Bella Hadid, who's another model, who I actually thought quite bravely used her platform. They are
Palestinian. And she sort of stood up to the mob that was telling her that Hollywood is not allowed
to be pro-Palestine. I don't have a horse in the race, don't need to get into it. But Israel and
Palestine have been in conflict, it feels like, since forever. The Israelis and the Palestinians,
pardon. And Bella Hadid stood up and said, what's happening, a Palestinian is wrong. You had the
media attacking her. And she kind of withstood the storm to say, this is my perspective as somebody
who is Palestinian. Gigi was silent, though. She didn't say anything. So it's weird that this is
what she decides to use her platform form, a fashion dispute. And I weighed in and asked her
if she's going to be speaking out on bullying in Hollywood. I'd love to see it. I think you're
great. I think your mom's great. I think Bella's great. Where were you on Chrissy Teigen? Because
she was actually, if you think Kanye posting a picture of this woman and saying that she dresses
bad, which is like saying water is wet, right, is a form of bullying. Where were you on Chrissy
Teigen when she was celebrated by the media for years? And I used my platform to expose how she
was telling teenagers to kill themselves. Kanye didn't tell Gabriella to kill herself. He just
told her she should dress better. And she should, because she's at Vogue. And Anna Wintour probably
doesn't like her shoes, like Kanye said. I don't know, just an opinion. So we will leave that out
for Gigi and see if she's going to continue to weigh in on bullying, the bullying that takes
place in Hollywood routinely, and the bullying that is taking place right now because Kanye
refuses to conform to the Black Lives Matter narrative, which all of you just wear the
t-shirts and post black squares to make yourself feel like you're getting involved in helping Black
America when the evidence is in front of you. You're not. You're harming us. So please stop
doing that. Please, Gigi. Next up, we have Matt Walsh, my friend and my colleague versus Media
Matters. Media Matters, for those of you that know, they watch every second. They're watching
right now. But they do do something even more interesting. They will go back, right, and they
will climb through everything you've ever said to see if they can pull something up, reshare it,
and present it as if you're a monster. So they did this to me notoriously when they took an excerpt
out of a speech that I was giving in London, actually the night that I met my husband.
And I was talking about nationalism as to whether, I was speaking as to whether or not it was a dirty
word. And they took me out of context, and they basically had me saying, well, if Hitler just
wanted to stay in Germany, that would have been fine. Obviously, my full thought, which they did
not want everyone to see, was basically saying that for some reason, nationalism is wrongly
attributed to Hitler. And obviously, he wasn't a nationalist because he was invading other
countries. If he had just wanted to stay in Germany and lead the Germans into prosperity,
then no one would have had a problem. But instead, what he was doing was being a monster,
executing atrocities against the Jewish people and invading into other countries. But who cares?
Don't let facts get in the way of a good time, especially if you're on George Soros's team.
And so they unearthed Matt Walsh speaking about teenage pregnancy. And I guess what they're
trying to make it seem is as if he is a groomer, because he's talking about the fact that teenage
pregnancy used to be normal. So why don't you take a listen yourself to what Matt Walsh said,
and let me know if you view it as problematic. In fact, ever since the beginning of time,
teenage girls have been getting pregnant. It used to be more common. The peak, ever since
they started keeping records of these things, which they only started doing recently, like in
the 20th century. But ever since they started keeping records, in 1957 was the peak for teenage
pregnancy. 1957, not 2009, not today. All of them were supposed to have kids,
like that's when you had kids. Hold on, that's my point, okay? So to all of a sudden act like
this phenomenon of girls getting pregnant at a young age that we consider young, 16 or 17,
to act like it's a new thing is ridiculous. It's always been that way. Even biologically,
and this is me just stating, right now I'm going to start by just stating facts.
So fact number one, it's not a new phenomenon. Fact number two, in fact, it's a phenomenon that
was more common earlier in history. And for the first six to 10,000 years of human existence,
it was a normal thing. Fact three, girls between the ages of like 17 and 24 is when they're
technically most fertile, okay? That's biological. That's a fact, all right? I'm just stating facts,
that's all I'm doing. But what happened recently, and this is the fourth fact, recently in the last
30 years or so, we decided that that's way too young to start a family. Why? And because now-
Divorce rates would probably go up. And once you're that young, you can't really make sure
that you know- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Because girls were getting married early and marriages were lasting longer. You very rarely
hear about these relationships that go to their, what is it, your diamond anniversary,
your 50th anniversary, and all this. That's a dying breed of people out there.
Yeah, and those were all people that got married very young. That's why-
That's why they're still alive.
Yeah, that's why you could have someone in their 70s who's celebrating their
55th wedding anniversary.
So you get it. Yeah, everything he said makes perfect sense, obviously. My mother had her first
child when she was 17 years old. My grandparents, my grandfather was one of 17. They had children.
Also, they got married when they were 17. They stayed together until my grandmother's dying day
some 40 plus years later. So it is true. People were obviously having children younger,
they were getting married younger, and they were staying together for a longer time.
So what Matthew is talking about is that there was clearly a social change. We decided suddenly
that teen pregnancy was wrong, that getting married wasn't aspirational, that women should
instead go to college and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars getting an education,
only to realize that they can't really make money in the real world, and then to freak out as
they're running up against their biological clock and try to find someone to marry last second,
only to then discover that maybe that marriage didn't really work out. Yeah, that was a social
change, not a biological one, not a physiological one. It was just like, hey, the education system
suddenly decided that it was all backwards and wrong because this anti-family idea has
been permeating our culture for a while. So for whatever reason, Soros' team, who is clearly
attacking Matt because he had the documentary, What is a Woman?, which was a success in which he
exposed what is going on with the transgender. He exposed what they are actually doing to children
with these drugs like Lupron. He exposed all of this stuff and he made an enemy of the LGBTQRSITV
agenda, the anti-family agenda, and so they are after him. And this was their best attempt to
take him down, to hear him speaking factually about the fact that our values have changed over
time and questioning whether or not that's a good thing. I don't know who needs to hear this,
but teenagers that get pregnant are not all being raped, which I think is the implication here.
They were calling him a groomer as if they were all in these relationships with 90-year-old men
and they're getting pregnant at 17. Nope, they were getting pregnant by their boyfriends,
and then a lot of them were just getting married to that individual and going on to have more
children. So if we want to have that debate again about whether or not society was better when
teenagers were in relationships and were committed and had children and stayed together until their
dying day like my grandparents, then we should have that debate. But really, honestly, stop these
pathetic attempts to distort the things that conservatives are saying because you are so
hell-bent on destroying the nuclear family. And that's all I have to say about that.
All right, guys, the next portion of the show is going to be available exclusively on DailyWire+.
