I Genuinely Feel Bad For Cardi B After Seeing This…

All right, everybody, happy Wednesday. Still from home, unfortunately. Hopefully, we'll be back in the studio tomorrow. Well, I'm going to begin this by talking about the fact that you may have noticed that I don't follow too many people on social media, and it's not because I think I'm cool. It's because just a lot of times I encounter some really disturbing things and trends that I don't really want to come across that often. And recently, I unfollowed someone because I saw something that was extremely odd and something that I'm seeing more and more, an incident of, definitely across millennial pages. That is the anti-family, I love my dog more than I love my child trend that's happening. We're going to talk about that. Plus later on in the show, I don't know if you missed it, but Cardi B recently had a bit of a mental breakdown on Instagram, and I actually feel really bad for her. All of that and more coming up on Candace Owens. So I get it, people love their pets and there's plenty of reason to love your, you know, four-legged critter. I once had a cat, a cat got killed by a coyote. It was actually deeply upsetting. Nothing against animals personally. They definitely warm your home. But increasingly, you're starting to see this trend of people that are replacing the concept of having children with animals. And I used to follow someone and I had to stop following them because I saw them holding their animal and they were just sort of bopping the animal up and down and then acknowledged that they were doing that to soothe the dog. Now, obviously this does not soothe a dog. A dog is not crying like a baby is crying. The reason that moms do the up and down movement is because that sort of a movement can quiet your baby. They like to be moved around, especially if they have gas. And it just made me go, hmm, this is weird. I've also unfollowed women for crying on the internet, things like that. Too disturbing for me, I'm not interested. But I want to talk about that because it turns out that I'm recognizing that happening across Instagram pages and people are actually starting to see that yes, millennials would prefer to have fur critters rather than to have children. This is a report that came out on CNBC. It says 33% of millennials between ages 18 and 36 said that they considered dog-friendly features, such as a fenced yard, as a huge factor in buying their first home. Just 25% cited marriage and 19% said the birth of a child. So now when they are considering buying a home, they aren't considering a husband and they're not considering a child. They are considering what that space would look like, how they could imagine that space for their animals. Not necessarily a problem, but we also are starting to see conversations and podcasters, a lot of women talking about why they simply don't want children. Here's a podcaster named Amani Wortham talking about just that. Take a listen. When do you think you'll have kids? I'm not having kids. What do you mean you're not having kids? I'm not having kids. That's what you were born here to do. No, I'm not. Why would you not want to have kids? Why would I? I'm asking you. Why don't I want to have kids? I don't see any benefit. For bringing, for giving somebody life? You have a kid and your life becomes about the kid. I want my life to be about me. Oh, you're selfish. That's okay. All right, well, I think you can say at least Amani Wortham is honest. She's admitting to the fact that she is selfish and she wants her life to be about her. Now, if you look at the comments under this post, people are applauding her. They're saying, yay, absolutely, good for you. And by the way, I don't want to say to some woman who is this selfish, is admittedly selfish, that she should have children, even though obviously I believe the gentleman is right. I believe that having children is our divine purpose as women. I don't think there's anything that you can get from life that is not going to bring you more satisfaction and completion than having a child. But again, not going to encourage someone like her to have children. But that's not all Amani has to say. She also holds a very derogatory view of men. Take a listen. What do you look for in a man? I don't look for anything in a man. I don't look for a man. I mean, when you meet a man, you talk to him. I don't look for nothing in a man. So what's happening here? Now it sounds like it's not only children that she doesn't want, but she doesn't even want to have a meaningful relationship. She holds a bad view of men altogether. We've seen this before. You know, me and Matt Walsh last week, obviously I read him Megan Fox's poem book, another person who I think would qualify as a millennial. And she had that poem, just seven lines of saying, I hate men, I hate men, I hate men, I hate men. That's the attitude that Amani is expressing in this podcast as well. And it gets worse. Now, just to give you a little bit of background before you see this next clip, rather notoriously, the rapper Cardi B went on an Instagram live and was talking about what she did before she became famous. She used to be a stripper, that's well-known, but she also talked about how she would take men home from the strip club and she would drug them and rob them. I know, it's amazing. She admitted to committing the crime of drugging men and then robbing them while they were asleep, taking their wallets. And yet she's still been given tons of awards. Obviously not a very defensible thing for any woman to do, whether you're a stripper or not. But Amani defends her actions. And I want you to take a close listen to why she defends them. How do you feel about Cardi B? What about her? About Cardi B admitting that she- Good for her. Used to- F**k them. Wait, no, that she used to- Good for her. Drug and f**k men. F**k them. Good for her. Good for her? Good for her. Who gives a f**k? They got robbed. They can get that s**t back. They had all the money to buy this s**t. They can buy it again. We're not even going to start comparing getting drugged and robbed for some f**king watches or some f**king money to getting sexually f**king assaulted. I'm never going to be like, oh, we should be talking about Cardi B when it talks about like all the sexual assault going on. She didn't sexually assault them. Okay. So the perspective that she holds is that it's totally fine for a woman to rob and steal money from men because in the world, men are doing things that are worse. She names another man not related to Cardi B who she believes committed sexual assault and therefore that somehow justifies Cardi B doing something that, again, every single person in the world should condemn. What we're actually seeing, and I thought about this a lot in terms of millennials, is that brainwashing works. I am a millennial. Where is this perspective coming from? Why are there so many women that are talking about men and saying that they hate them, that they don't aspire to have a family, that they don't aspire to have any children, that they instead want to focus on themselves? And by the way, when you look at that clip of her, you can see that there is no internal joy coming out of her. This is not a happy woman that is speaking. I know it's supposed to be sold to you as this is I-N-D-E-P-E, independent woman. She's confident as well. No, none of those things are happening. What I'm sensing is actually a deep internal sadness. And again, how did this happen? Well, we are a generation millennial. I think back to my own schooling experience. I think back to why it is that I used to hold the perspective that I should aspire to be a feminist, that I should aspire to climb the corporate ladder, that we do not need men at all in our lives. And fortunately, those perspectives were shattered for me before I could end up like Imani. And it really starts with school. The state began an initiative where once upon a time in America, women were learning home ec. Men were learning trades, crafts. How do you build your home? How do you take care of your children? It has been replaced with radical ideologies. I remember sitting in health class and actually learning about the climate agenda. I remember learning and watching Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth and being told that it was selfish to aspire to have a family and to have children when the world and the planet is going to end. Our minds were shaped, millennial minds were shaped to be anti-family. And now we are seeing the results of that everywhere. And it's even more pervasive because we have social media where these clips can go viral and women can stand on that and say, that's absolutely aspirational. This is actually a cancer that is happening in our society, that there are people that think it's cool not to have children, that they're trying to normalize. One of the favorite words they say on Instagram, let's normalize not aspiring to family. No, we should not normalize that whatsoever. We have to continue to talk about it because the truth, as I always tell anybody that watches this show, if you wear that cloak of feminism for too long, if you become like Imani and you become bitter towards men and you become bitter towards the idea of family, you will end up sad and alone. I promise you that there's just no way. Forget, if you say both having a family, even just having a relationship, I just want to be by me. I just want to be by myself and do everything for myself. That is the saddest way that you could possibly exist. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Credit where credit is due. Paul Joseph Watson was another YouTuber, brought this to my attention. I was watching one of his videos the other day. But when we talk about the extreme narcissistic culture that has been created by social media, there is no greater example of that than this young man who decided to put together a fake influencer app to document how he gets treated when people think that he's famous. So just to be clear, this man is not at all famous, but he created an app that when people looked into his phone while he was out with them, it looked like tons of people were watching him live. And look what happened. So I'm live right now with 42,000 people on Instagram. What do you want to say to my audience? I made an app called Parallel Live that makes it look like you're live streaming with tens of thousands of people watching to see how people treat you differently when they think you're famous. We're in Miami, babe. And immediately, they started filming me. I think Drake just joined. Drake, Drake, come live with us. Drake. But then the girl that was flirting with me tried to upgrade to Drake. What? Can I come over? I had to humble her. Oh, he disconnected. I'm sorry. Luckily, she got over it quickly. I then went home and took a nap. I then went back out to the most exclusive art gallery in Miami where tickets are $1,000. So I'm live right now with 34,000 people on Instagram. I was wondering if they'd come check out your art event. Not only did he let me in. He then introduced me to the celebrities that were there. They were shouting out their people. Then I became the celebrity and people wanted to be in my live stream. This day felt like something out of a movie. If you want to experience what it's like to be famous, check out my app, Parallel Live. So that's the app, Parallel Live. And I don't know whether that is absolutely hilarious. It is absolutely hilarious. Or just plain sad that he would be treated differently. I'm going to give a little bit of credit or forgiveness rather to the promoter because your job as a promoter is to get as many eyes on your business. So letting him into an art gallery, that makes sense. Like, okay, I have an audience of 42,000 people that are now seeing my small business. Maybe this will drive traffic. But the women, the women who suddenly are all over him, wanting to hang out with him. Obviously, I am going to assume that if he had wanted to, he probably could have taken one of these young women home. Them then trying to update and talk to Drake because they believe that Drake is actually friends with him. Again, I don't know whether or not this is hilarious or if it's sad, but I'm leaning towards it is a very sad reflection of the culture that we live in when everybody wants to be famous and nobody can appreciate the lives that they have, right? That he can create a fake app and people can get treated like celebrities simply because they believe that there are eyes that are watching them. I thought that was pretty amazing and just wanted to put that onto your radar. Moving on, you guys. I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about Cardi B because I have talked about her many times on this show. Her and I have had various spats and I recently saw a clip circulating of her having a mental breakdown, really, about her husband. And I just want to be clear that I thought that it was incredibly sad. I don't know what the context of this clip is, but I can tell you that rumors began circulating that her husband, Offset, who is another performer, was cheating on her again. So he had notoriously cheated on her once and she forgave him, I think, obviously, for the sake of their children. They do have two young children together. And rumors began circulating that he cheated on her again. She then took to Instagram and said this. Take a listen. "'Cause you will f***ing talk to an a** and a motherf***er play in your f***ing face, in your f***ing face over and over and over and over and over again. And still be like, watch. Watch what I'm about to do. Watch what I'm about to say. And it's so f***ing sad that an a** like to... Yo, this motherf***er really like to play games with me when I'm at my most vulnerable time, when I'm not the most confident. They like to play games with me because he knows I'm not an easy girl. He knows yesterday I could have been out, I could have been chilling, I could have been this and that. He knows I'm in my house. He knows that I'm chilling. He knows I'm not doing the most. And I've really been sparing you. I've really been sparing you. You've been f***ing feeling yourself, you b***h, because of your b***h's album and s***. And you've really been f***ing doing me dirty after so many f***ing years that I motherf***ing helped you a*****. Not even a f***ing debt you that I got for your f***ing internet. Because whenever I f***ing tell you something, you don't say s***, please. So yeah, a lot of people tagged me in this and wanted to know what my response was because I have laughed at Cardi B a lot in the past because of her antics. And I just want to be very clear that listening to that, I don't know how anybody could have any response other than tremendous sadness for somebody that is going through something that is so real that her voice is breaking at the end, she's crying. And I want to just make something clear about my perspective on Cardi B in general. I've said it over and over again, but the media never runs the headline. I think that there's a lot to respect about Cardi B. She did not come from circumstances that made her life easy. She made something out of herself. I told you guys that my cousin made me watch Love & Hip Hop. And it was very clear to me that she was a star. She was very funny. She was very lighthearted about her circumstances. Things obviously changed when she became famous because it's almost impossible for things not to change. And there was clearly a lot of internal pressure. And Cardi B was forced into situations like notoriously interviewing Joe Biden that she should have never really been forced into by people that did not have her best interests at heart. I think that Cardi B suffers from the idea that she's not allowed to change, that the same Cardi B that was a stripper has to remain the same Cardi B that is now obviously a multimillionaire. And that's because there's all of this pressure. People always say to you, oh, you changed, you changed as you climb up as if it's an insult. And I think the idea of not changing is the biggest insult. Because I get it too, you've changed. Yeah, you knew me five years ago and I had no children. Of course I've changed. My perspectives have changed because I now view the world almost through their lens. What is this world that we're creating? And my issue with Cardi B is that she's not changing and that the things that she is promoting are the very things that are destroying her relationship. Now, again, and I'm saying this with gloves on because I don't, I mean this to be a larger lesson but not an insult to Cardi. But when your music inspires women to live a loose life, right? When the way that you dress and the way that you perform is inspiring men to gawk at you and to treat you really like a piece of flesh. You cannot be surprised when the world starts to mimic that, when your own household starts to mimic that. And the fact that Offset has been stepping out on their marriage is, by the way, not an excuse for him because I think that it's absolutely disgusting especially as a father of two. It's because he's a weak man, first and foremost. And it's also because I don't think that you guys adhere to what it means to be in a traditional relationship. And that has always been my critique of Cardi B. That she lives her life in a way, obviously, just to be clear, Cardi B got married before she had children. That is amazing. Cardi B is fighting for her family even as they go through this publicly which obviously brings her great pain. But there are more things that Cardi B can do. So I just want to give her public permission to change, you know, to aspire to more and to recognize anybody that throws anything at you and says, oh, you change, you're not the same. Why aren't you rapping about guns and drugs and strippers and hoes anymore? I don't want to listen to you. Yeah, that's called good riddance. Sometimes you do have to go through the process of a metamorphosis. And, you know, again, very sorry to hear her crying like that. I wouldn't want any woman to go through that. Moving on, you guys, to a really strange story coming out of Wisconsin. The University of Wisconsin Chancellor was recently fired for making online vegan cooking porn videos with his wife. Now, I'm going to try to describe it to you. Essentially, they had a YouTube channel where they would cook together and then they would invite people to follow them to their OnlyFans page to see what happens next. And what was happening next was they were so turned on by the vegan meals that they did the dirty. They were just creating some hardcore pornography. Now, somebody discovered this, alerted the university, the university rightfully fired them. But that's not how they view it. So to give you just an idea, by the way, kind of how old he is, Joe Gao, that's the name of the person who was fired, 63 years old, him and his wife, Carmen, who is 56 years old, were leading a life, a double life as porn stars. So that's already disturbing to me that we are getting into this area of granny porn. And they viewed their videos as sexy, healthy cooking. And he's basically saying that he's quite disturbed by his firing. He doesn't find it to be especially problematic that him and his wife occasionally like to make hardcore pornography. He's disturbed that it was uncovered. And he's quite upset about the fact that they've lost a lot of friends. He said, quote, the family reaction is a challenge. I called my mom and she wasn't super excited. So that's not easy. Oh yeah, your mom wasn't super excited about you and your wife making hardcore pornography while you hold a respectable job at the University of Wisconsin. Color me shocked. He also says that the reaction has been discouraging because some people won't talk to him anymore. He said, quote, it's been very saddening to see some people abandoning us. We've lost friends. Now to be clear, he held this role at the University of Wisconsin for 17 years. So quite remarkable that he was able to lead this double life and no one uncovered it for so long. But they are now seeing that there is some potential, that there is some light on the other side because people in the porn industry have reached out to them to invite them to work with them. So that's really refreshing, Wilson told the news outlet. Yeah, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. You don't have to have a respectable job. You can always just take your clothes off. I think it's really weird that he is defending the double life and you're seeing this more and more. What it's really telling us is people do think that it's quite difficult to not take your clothes off and hold a job. People are just like, what is the problem if we're making money on the side? Why do I have to be a serious person if I'm the University of Wisconsin chancellor? And they don't understand that, of course, it is completely and utterly unacceptable for you to also be creating hardcore pornography. That should obviously go against the student, the teacher code, the chancellor code of every university across the United States. But as I've mentioned over and over again, we are increasingly becoming a more pornographic culture. Softcore porn is already something that we are completely desensitized to. It's in all of the advertisements. It's on social media. You don't even blink twice when you see a woman holding a Gucci bag on an ad and she's butt naked. You're like, oh, that's art. No, it's not art. That is soft core pornography. So what's going to happen now is generation beneath us is going to be desensitized to hardcore pornography. And that's already happening, of course, because we have OnlyFans and you have feminism and people are being told that it's a right and why wouldn't you want to get your money? Who needs a family? Who needs anything when you can be making dollars all for yourself across social media? And speaking of pornography, you know it is my job to bring you the most searched for fetishes. According to Pornhub, they release this list every single year and they want you to know what people are looking for the most on their website. Globally. And in 2023, guess what the top searches were? Granny and MILF, that's a mother that I'd like to F, and DILF, a dad that I would like to F. So it seems like that University of Wisconsin chancellor is probably getting a pretty big audience. Completely disturbing. Perhaps most disturbing though is that 2023 they are reporting was also a breakout year for artificial intelligence. Yeah. People are not even wanting to watch people when they are engaging in pornography. Now we are, I guess, moving towards a culture of people wanting to watch robots. Not exactly a great marker for where we are headed as a society, but you should know it. All right, guys. Now let's jump into some of your comments regarding episodes past. Yesterday we covered Ariana Grande and I have essentially been covering Hoes extensively on this program because it's an important topic to me. As I have said on other podcasts, I am quite fascinated with the hoe hive mind. I do actually cover it also because I think that we're starting to inch it back a little bit. I think women are starting to realize that living like this does not actually bring you any happiness and that actually the greatest purveyors of the whole climate crisis that we are facing are women that have daddy issues. That is the truth. I believe that Ariana Grande does have daddy issues. She has spoken out about her daddy issues in the past. Emthro writes, as a man who has been married to the same woman for 42 years, you can't be, quote unquote, taken by another woman unless you let yourself be taken by another woman. I totally agree with that and I think I said yesterday, I am not excusing obviously Ethan Slater. He did the worst thing because obviously his wife, Lily J, or his ex-wife rather, or I think they're in the middle of a divorce, loved him and trusted him and was with him throughout his career and he is obviously an evil person. But Ethan Slater is not as known as Ariana Grande. Ariana Grande coming out with a song to celebrate what she did in destroying a family just ranks to me as one of the most evil hoe things I've ever seen in my entire life. Jules writes, I think Ariana's behavior comes from a place of insecurity. Finding her self-worth by stealing it from somebody else, it's disgusting. The guy is the true homewrecker. Shame on her, but it doesn't ameliorate his guilt. A very sad situation indeed. I absolutely agree with this. I do not read her as a particularly confident young woman and I think that that is also clear in the fact that she tends to date very unfortunate looking men. Like her pattern is she likes to find men that are very unfortunate looking and then they see her and they think, oh my God, I never thought that a girl that looked like this would even look at me, so they give her everything. And then when she's done with them and she's done ruining their lives and ruining their relationships, she gets bored and she moves on to the next man. And of course that is going to happen with her and Ethan Slater. She's not going to marry Ethan Slater, or if she will, it's not going to be a relationship that lasts because as I said, this has been a habit of hers and she actually needs to fix something that's happening internally because it's not a sport. Ruining people's lives is not a sport and it's important to point out her behavior publicly. Georgie Skin writes, we live in such hypocrisy where we have tons of teenagers and adults talking about self-respect and love and all that, but the minute they see their favorite singer being an absolute degenerate, they go, yes, empowerment, give me a break. Yes, it's so important for me to stress that Ariana Grande has routinely talked about how much of a feminist that she is. She has showed up at protests. She said, my mom was a feminist and my grandma was a feminist. But then when you look behind the curtain of feminism and you start to recognize what it actually is, is it's actually a movement that is being run by broken women and that is the problem. It's not actually aspirational for women whatsoever. They just want to see everybody suffer with them in the ways that they view themselves as having suffered. And for Ariana Grande, she holds a lot of anger over what her dad did when she was a child. And so she hurts men and she hurts women. Jules writes, imagine wanting to be with a man willing to leave his wife right after she gives birth to their child. Yikes. Yeah, that to me would just be a deal breaker. I would find it to be unbelievably unattractive. And also I just would not be able to put my head on the pillow at night knowing that somebody needs a father and that person needs to be raising their children. And yet I've taken them away for my own selfish reasons. Lastly, on this topic, Tiffany writes, I seriously suspect Ariana has daddy issues. And since her dad left the family, possibly to be with another woman, she gets a high from leading taken men into temptation. Accurate assessment, Tiffany. Now regarding tipping culture, which we covered yesterday, how extreme it's become. I am now staunchly against it I will not tip outside of waiters that are actually busting their butts and deserving that tip. Ghost Ranger writes, I was a waitress for many years and paid $2.33 an hour and really depended on tips. My so-called paycheck at the end of the week was $0 because the restaurant always claimed 12% tips reported to the government for tax purpose. Some weeks if I had non-tippers, my paycheck claimed more than I actually had made. So sorry, Candace. I still believe in tipping waiters and waitresses. I'm not disagreeing with that. I am just saying that turning over an iPad to me when I'm buying a coffee, I'm out. It's always 0%. And not only is it always 0%, it's an aggressive 0%. I press 0% and then I look up and I hold eye contact. I want them to know that I'm making a conscious decision to say no more to this because you're doing your job. You aren't doing anything extra. Lauren K. Warren writes, I am outraged by the asking for tips at coffee shops on the screen before they even make your coffee. And fast food places. I've started paying with cash only because they can't and don't show you that stupid tip screen. If you're paying cash, it's been incredibly freeing. Lauren, I'm telling you, upgrade yourself. Find the strength to hit 0% and hold eye contact like this. Ladies and gentlemen, that is unfortunately all the time that we have for today. We will see you tomorrow. Hopefully we will be in the studio for a brand new episode.
