There is this very weird, very online,

0:04

very smug, pro-baby movement happening

0:07

right now.

0:07

>> It is obvious that women who have

0:09

children are going to be more fulfilled.

0:11

>> Being a mother is the most important job

0:13

in the world. I could have the greatest

0:15

careers working for Elon, working in the

0:17

White House. I had three kids in four

0:18

years. But being a mother has made my

0:21

career richer, fuller, better. It's made

0:22

life richer, fuller, better. Having a

0:24

husband makes your life better. It does.

0:26

And if more women were told and more

0:28

young girls were told that a husband and

0:31

children make your life so much better,

0:33

they would do it younger. It young women

0:35

I and I talk to young conservative women

0:37

all the time about their lives and their

0:38

goals and you know the things that they

0:40

want. And what's happening is they can't

0:43

find a lot of young men who want to

0:46

marry a working woman now.

0:47

>> Please like don't put it off. Especially

0:52

if you're a young woman, don't put it

0:54

off. You can always have a career. You

0:56

can always, you know,

0:59

go back to work. You can never just go

1:02

back to having children.

1:04

>> Where a bunch of people have suddenly

1:05

decided that the biggest problem in

1:07

society right now is that women are not

1:09

having enough kids, not housing,

1:12

definitely not wages or healthcare, or

1:14

not the fact that everyone is exhausted

1:16

and broke. Like, come on, gals. Have you

1:19

tried just having more money? No. The

1:22

issue is apparently that women are too

1:24

focused on their jobs and not focused

1:27

enough on being barefoot vessels for the

1:29

future. And real quick, I'm Lauren

1:38

Share it with a friend if not because we

1:40

cannot have these pro-baby [ __ ] like

1:43

Katie Miller, the wife of Steven Little

1:45

[ __ ] Miller, telling young people that

1:47

their primary purpose in life is to be a

1:50

birthing vessel and to submit to pasty

1:52

white nationalists like Steven Little

1:54

[ __ ] Miller, who once admitted to

1:56

living off of mayonnaise exclusively.

1:58

Look it up. I'm not making it up. And

2:00

the wild part is when we look at who's

2:02

pushing all of this. It's not single

2:05

stressed out moms or people drowning in

2:07

child care costs. It's Megan Kelly. It's

2:10

Candace Owens. It's Erica Kirk. It's

2:13

Katie Miller. My nightmare blunt

2:15

rotation. Plus the usual orbit of

2:18

right-wing tife influencers. All of a

2:21

sudden, all of them are suddenly very

2:24

invested in telling women to stop

2:26

working, to embrace motherhood as their

2:29

primary identity, and to be more

2:31

submissive and trust that everything

2:33

will just perfectly magically work out.

2:35

Which is such a funny message coming

2:37

from women who are extremely wealthy,

2:40

professionally insulated, and absolutely

2:43

not planning on giving up their own

2:45

primary income, platforms, or autonomy.

2:48

All of them just happen to have book

2:50

deals, speaking tours, podcast

2:52

sponsorships, wealthy husbands or dead

2:55

husbands in some cases, full-time

2:57

nannies, sorry, household help, media

3:01

careers requiring constant travel,

3:03

social media managers, and six figure

3:05

substacks. Megan Kelly telling women to

3:08

embrace traditional roles from the

3:10

comfort of her multi-million dollar

3:13

media career is it's performance art.

3:16

She's doing podcasts from her home

3:17

studio about how modern women are too

3:20

focused on their careers and material

3:22

success wearing $400 worth of modest

3:26

linen. No, she's explaining that

3:29

feminism ruined everything by making

3:30

women think that they need financial

3:32

independence. Just you need to trust God

3:34

and make some sacrifices and birth the

3:36

babies and everything's going to work

3:37

out. She says this right before her

3:40

assistant reminds her about tomorrow's

3:41

flight at her conservative conference

3:43

where she's going to pray to Charlie

3:44

Kirk as the keynote speaker on why women

3:46

should stay home. Candace Owens also

3:50

rallying against feminism after making a

3:53

fortune being a professional opinion

3:55

haver. 10% of women are the only women

3:57

whose marriage rates are going up. So

3:59

they're getting married, they're staying

4:00

married, and their kids are doing

4:02

better. When you look at stay-at-home

4:03

mothers, you see that they're more

4:04

likely to report being depressed.

4:06

they're more likely to report having um

4:08

anxiety and anger and all these types of

4:10

things. So, how can you say that? Seems

4:12

like a woman if you want to get married

4:14

and have kids, you should go to college

4:15

and have a career.

4:16

>> So, I it sounds to me like we are

4:18

looking at totally different statistics

4:19

because everything that you said I I've

4:21

actually read the exact opposite.

4:22

>> I'm glad we're on a fact check show with

4:24

you. Exactly.

4:25

>> It's so exciting.

4:26

>> That's going to be amazing. Okay.

4:27

Because I know, like I said, I I think

4:29

what we're talking about is that there

4:31

was this widespread report on female

4:32

happiness and I I know that it was it

4:34

was formally debunked and it was

4:35

>> that's not what I'm talking about. Pew

4:36

Research, University of California. In

4:38

fact, working mothers today spend more

4:40

time with their ch children than women

4:42

did in the 1960s that were at home.

4:44

>> Okay. Well, women that I can tell you

4:45

women that are at home are obviously

4:46

spending more time with their children

4:48

than the people who are at work.

4:49

>> And their children are not fairing off

4:50

any better and they're fairing off

4:51

worse.

4:52

>> How are you measuring their children

4:53

fairing off worse? uh how likely they

4:55

are to uh higher incomes, better scores,

4:58

fewer health problems, fewer behavioral

5:00

issues, and better mental health.

5:01

>> So the the just to get back to the claim

5:03

that I'm making here is that it is

5:05

obvious that women who have children are

5:07

going to be more fulfilled.

5:09

>> How is that obvious?

5:10

>> Because you said so.

5:13

>> No, it's not obvious because I said so.

5:15

It's because when you look at all the

5:17

statistics in terms of women who are

5:18

choosing not to have families, they are,

5:20

as the person who just sat here before

5:22

you mentioned, they are suffering from

5:24

more depression. They're suffering from

5:26

more anxiety. And I and yes, no, when

5:28

you look at voluntarily don't have

5:30

children. No, I'm not saying that. But

5:33

that's not true.

5:34

>> Okay, it is true. It is actually true

5:36

that women who are choosing their

5:37

careers over starting families are

5:39

finding themselves leaning more onto on

5:42

to medicines like Xanax, anxietyinducing

5:45

medicines and depression because they

5:46

suspended that time frame where women

5:48

really should be looking to find a

5:49

partner and to start a family because

5:51

they were instead pursuing their

5:52

careers. There has been a it has been it

5:55

is a dishonest it is it's totally a

5:57

dishonest narrative that men and women

5:59

want the same things out of life. We

6:01

don't. We absolutely do not want the

6:02

same things out of life. In fact, we

6:03

don't even measure we don't even measure

6:05

success the same.

6:06

>> And just capitalism, she loves

6:10

capitalism. Erica Kirk is the number one

6:13

pro-natalist.

6:14

>> And when it comes to career,

6:18

I I will be fully transparent. I was

6:21

fully bought into the

6:24

boss babe. I mean, I lived in Manhattan.

6:27

Mhm.

6:27

>> I Charlie essentially plucked me out of

6:31

the New York City orbit and was like,

6:32

"No, I have a healthier way of viewing

6:35

things and and looking at life and

6:37

things like that." And and and he was

6:38

right. He was right. And [snorts] I I

6:41

remember thinking

6:44

I if I would have stayed on that path I

6:47

was on, I would have lost out on some of

6:51

the most beautiful moments of of my

6:54

life. children, having a husband, being

6:57

able to create and build something so

7:00

incredibly.

7:01

>> She's making it a lifestyle, and she's

7:04

rallying up this crowd and telling them

7:06

to opt out of work. Work is not

7:08

empowering, as if financial dependence

7:10

in America isn't one of the fastest

7:12

routes to being completely [ __ ] if

7:14

anything goes wrong.

7:15

>> Feminism has packaged things for us. And

7:18

it's good to pause and to actually

7:19

reflect and to think about how that

7:21

actually began because it has been this

7:23

system of psychological conditioning for

7:25

women. And it begins as soon as you

7:28

enter the school system, you start to

7:29

see these things. You start to

7:31

understand um that feminism as a term is

7:34

all around you. It is something that you

7:36

are being forcefed whether you recognize

7:37

it or not. And make no mistake, there is

7:40

absolutely nothing feminine about

7:44

feminism, right?

7:46

There's nothing feminine about feminism.

7:50

And that is the left. They they take

7:52

words and when they sell it to you, it

7:54

always sounds good, but they're actually

7:56

doing bad. I mean, obviously a a very

7:59

big example of that is when you people

8:01

say, "Oh, I'm pro-choice and that sounds

8:03

wonderful, but actually, no. An infant

8:06

is not choosing whatsoever in that

8:08

environment." And it's the same thing

8:09

with feminism. You want to think that

8:12

that's a good word. when when you learn

8:13

about that the first time and they say,

8:15

"Well, this is about equality between

8:17

the sexes." And no, it's not. It is

8:20

absolutely not about equality between

8:23

the sexes. Actually, what feminism is is

8:26

it is about disturbing healthy relations

8:28

between the sexes. I actually say now

8:31

that if you really understand feminism

8:33

and you start to follow it and you start

8:35

to get deep into the history of

8:36

feminism, it is actually a precursor to

8:39

transgenderism.

8:41

And then we have Katie Miller. You have

8:45

three under the age of five and you're

8:47

still doing it all. You worked at the

8:48

White House. You worked for Elon Musk.

8:50

Now you have your podcast. It doesn't

8:52

inhibit your career. In fact, it ignites

8:55

gasoline to the fire. And if more women

8:57

were told and more young girls were told

9:00

that a husband and children make your

9:02

life so much better, they would do it

9:04

younger. It isn't this career gap where

9:06

you take time off, have maternity leave,

9:08

and you can't come back and see and be a

9:10

CEO. You look at Adena Freriedman, the

9:12

CEO of NASDAQ. She took part-time work

9:14

when she was a young mother. You look at

9:15

Susie Wilds, right, who was a young

9:18

mother to went part-time and then she

9:20

went into becoming chief of staff in the

9:22

White House. Married to a man, Steven

9:25

Little [ __ ] Miller, whose whole

9:26

identity is built on his passion for

9:29

ethnic cleansing. Ah, the beauty of

9:31

motherhood, right? The cognitive

9:33

dissonance is topnotch. Now, you might

9:36

be thinking, "Surely these people

9:38

advocate for policies that would make it

9:40

financially viable for average families

9:43

to have more children." No. This is not

9:46

how they approach things. Universal

9:48

healthcare? Absolutely not. That sounds

9:50

like socialism to me. Paid parental

9:54

leave. Ew. No. Just birth them and send

9:56

them back even if even if they had major

9:58

surgery immediately.

10:01

When it comes to affordable housing,

10:03

there is POV is how about don't be poor

10:06

instead. And then when it comes to

10:07

higher wages, they just say that's what

10:09

your husband's for. Universal

10:12

healthcare, they'll be like, oh no,

10:13

that's communism. What they all share is

10:16

this fantasy that if women just stop

10:19

working and start having babies, the

10:21

rest will sort itself out. Healthc care

10:23

bills, who? The husband will earn

10:26

enough. The government will help. the

10:30

community will step in. God will Venmo

10:32

you. None of this is explained, funded,

10:35

or backed by any evidence or data. So,

10:38

if it sounds soothing, maybe you've

10:40

never had to Google the average cost of

10:42

daycare and then stare at a wall for 10

10:44

minutes afterwards. Meanwhile, the same

10:47

people either oppose or downplay

10:49

literally every single policy that would

10:52

make having kids easier for normal

10:54

people. Look what they did to Mandani.

10:56

So, the message ends up being just have

10:58

babies. Don't ask for help. Don't expect

11:01

any help. Just just baby it up. Create

11:03

the next generation, but do so on a hard

11:06

focused mode. And if you struggle,

11:07

that's a personal failure. Just have

11:09

more money. It's not the system's fault.

11:11

It's not the government's the platform

11:13

that they all have, Instagram, Tik Tok,

11:15

YouTube. Stories of someone in serene

11:18

morning morning routine, probably filmed

11:19

by their assistant while having their

11:21

children play peacefully managed by

11:23

their nanny in their sprawling home

11:26

purchased with family money or

11:28

conservative think tank funding,

11:29

whoever's bankrolling this probabate

11:35

the collapse of fertility rates. When my

11:38

uncle was president, the fertility rate

11:41

in this country was 3.5%.

11:44

Today it is 1.6%.

11:47

The replacement rate, in other words,

11:49

the amount of fertility that you need in

11:53

order to keep your population even is

11:56

2.1%.

11:58

We are below replacement right now. That

12:00

is a national security threat to our

12:02

country. And we know why this is

12:04

happening. And President Trump is

12:06

addressing the root causes through his

12:09

maha agenda of reducing endocrine

12:12

disruptors, the exposure, the chemicals

12:15

that decrease fertility today.

12:18

Meanwhile, the average American woman is

12:20

trying to figure out how to afford her

12:22

$2,000 rent, how to figure out her

12:24

student loan payments, her health

12:26

insurance premiums, which are through

12:28

the roof, and maybe possibly eventually

12:30

think about having one kid if she can

12:32

save enough money for 3 months of unpaid

12:35

maternity leave. But of course, the real

12:38

real problem the real problem is she's

12:40

just been brainwashed by liberal

12:42

feminism into wanting a career instead

12:44

of just naturally designed to fulfill

12:47

her biological destiny. The funniest

12:50

part is that we actually have the data

12:52

on this, but we're ignoring it because

12:54

it's unfavorable to the grift. Countries

12:57

where people get paid leave, subsidize

13:01

child care and healthcare, they do have

13:03

higher birth rates. When raising a child

13:06

doesn't mean financial ruin, more people

13:09

are likely to do it. Shocking. Crazy how

13:12

that works out. But instead of learning

13:14

from that, American pro-babalism

13:19

has decided that the problem is women's

13:20

attitudes. That they're way too

13:22

independent. They're way too ambitious

13:25

and too willing to gamble their entire

13:27

futures on vibes and a man. You know

13:30

what's wild? These women aren't wrong

13:33

that there's something broken about

13:34

modern life, making it harder to have

13:36

families. They're just so [ __ ] wrong

13:38

about what's actually broken and who

13:40

broke it. It's not the women they

13:43

getting too ambitious. It's that wages

13:46

stagnated while costs have exploded.

13:49

It's that health care got tied to

13:51

employment. It's that child care costs

13:53

more than college. It's that housing

13:56

became an investment vehicle instead of

13:57

a place to live. It's that we built an

14:00

economy that requires two incomes to

14:03

achieve what one income brought in 1970.

14:06

Then we told women they're too selfish

14:08

for wanting to work. Just go baby it up.

14:10

But addressing these things would

14:12

actually require advocating for policies

14:14

that their donors hate. It's much easier

14:18

to blame communism, socialism, feminism,

14:21

any isism, and tell women to make better

14:23

life choices while you're on your way to

14:26

tape a podcast about how you're doing

14:28

motherhood the right way. Authentic

14:31

traditional motherhood sponsored by a

14:32

VPN company. And then there's this

14:35

unspoken assumption that everyone is

14:36

secretly rich, or at least about to be.

14:39

Like, if women just surrender their

14:41

traditional roles, the money will

14:42

appear. God will Venmo you, Jesus Christ

14:45

himself, which is hilarious in an

14:47

economy where one medical emergency can

14:50

wipe you out entirely. One bad

14:53

relationship can leave you stranded with

14:55

no income and no safety net. Telling

14:57

women to give up their economic

14:58

independence in this system isn't

15:01

wholesome or brave. That's totally

15:03

reckless. Also, notice how the sacrifice

15:06

is almost entirely one-sided. Women, you

15:09

got to submit. You got to reproduce. You

15:11

got to sacrifice. while men are just

15:12

encouraged to exist. Traditional gender

15:16

roles without the traditional

15:17

obligations. Funny how that works out.

15:19

Submission with no expectations of men

15:22

to show up. Babies without

15:25

infrastructure. Risk without protection.

15:26

It's a raw deal. The real giveaway that

15:29

this movement is totally bankrolled and

15:32

not actually about policy is watching

15:36

what happens when someone suggests

15:38

actual support for families. Suddenly,

15:41

it's whoa whoa whoa whoa, don't get all

15:43

crazy. We can't be incentivizing the

15:45

wrong people to have the wrong babies.

15:48

And then it becomes, it's the personal

15:49

responsibility of that woman. And that's

15:52

not the role of the government. The role

15:53

of the government is to fund wars in

15:55

Israel. Duh. They have universal

15:58

healthcare. Oh, so you want to have more

16:00

babies, but you don't want to make it

16:02

economically viable for people to have

16:04

babies or to keep the existing babies

16:06

alive. You want women to stay home, but

16:08

you don't want to advocate for the wages

16:10

that would make single income families

16:13

possible. You want traditional family

16:15

structures, but you oppose every policy

16:18

that would actually make them possible.

16:20

Cool. Very cool. Sounds like a real

16:22

serious Megan Kelly movement. And this

16:25

isn't just a content vertical to them.

16:28

The funniest part is that all these

16:29

influencers are literally doing what

16:31

they're telling other women not to do.

16:33

They're building their own brands.

16:34

They're monetizing their platform.

16:36

They're hiring help so they can work.

16:38

They're traveling for their careers.

16:40

Let's look at freaking Erica Kirk. She's

16:43

been on a whirlwind tour. They're

16:45

financially independent or becoming so.

16:48

They're just doing it while talking

16:50

about how women shouldn't do these

16:52

things. Very bad. It's brilliant.

16:54

Really, they found one career where you

16:57

can be a working woman while making

16:58

money telling other women not to be

17:00

working women. And if this video has

Interactive Summary

The video discusses a "pro-baby movement" that encourages women to prioritize motherhood and early childbearing over careers for personal fulfillment, framing being a mother as the most important job. The speaker highlights the hypocrisy of this movement, noting that its prominent female proponents (like Megan Kelly, Candace Owens, and Katie Miller) are often wealthy, career-driven women who leverage their own platforms and financial independence while advocating for others to embrace traditional, dependent roles. The movement blames feminism and women's career aspirations for declining birth rates, dismissing systemic issues like stagnated wages, high housing/healthcare/childcare costs. Crucially, these proponents actively oppose policies that would financially support average families in having children, such as universal healthcare or paid parental leave. The video argues that the movement's advice is reckless, asks for one-sided sacrifice from women without offering real support, and ultimately serves to monetize the influencers' own careers by telling other women not to pursue theirs.
