RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY (CO-HOST): Melissa Kearney, she's from the University of Maryland, she's an economic professor there, and she says there has been a greater emphasis on spending time building careers. Adults are changing their attitudes towards having kids, they are choosing to spend money and time in different ways. One of the ways they talked about is travel, and conflict with parenting, wanting to travel, again, just comes into conflict with parenting. I also think that the globalist population and climate alarmists, they have propaganda. Our kids are taking in that propaganda. You hear so many people, saying I'm afraid to have -- young people, saying I'm afraid to have a kid because of the environment. This is all -- and you talked about this yesterday, Will -- this anti-human agenda, and it is in direct contrast with the Judeo-Christian idea of be fruitful and multiply. Instead, they see fertility as a curse. You know, always wanting to give women pills to take care of that. And children as burdens. And it's a lie. They're selling young people a lie that consumerism, and travel, and all these things will make you happy, when we all know that God and family in the end make you happy. And is it no surprise that young people are more anxious, popping, you know, anxiety pills more than ever. They're selling lies. And I think this is concerning for the future because we do need this replacement rate; who's going to take care of older people? But also, just the happiness of young people.
