I reached out to you for the podcast because I read an article you wrote in the New York Times

recently entitled The Democrats $20 million man problem, the most positive article that has been

published about me in the New York Times. Yeah, I really do feel like a lot of the things that are

ripping America apart will begin to ease if we can deal with this loneliness, this alienization,

this lack of belonging. How we got here is quite the bloody miracle. People were celebrating the

demise of men or denying the demise of men or beginning to characterize

traditional masculinity as inherently toxic. And what that told a lot of young men was not,

well, you have a problem and instead was telling these young men, you are the problem.

... are the problem. Hello, everybody.

So a small miracle occurred in, at the end of May this year,

the New York Times wrote a piece that featured me that was positive,

or at least mostly positive.

And it was entitled, The Democrats' $20 million man problem.

It was written by journalist, David French. and David had written a couple of pieces about me

and some positive and some less so and I thought it would be very interesting to

talk to him about the Democrats 20 million dollar man problem now we ranged much more widely than merely that,

but that's the focus of the conversation. So join us for that.

I felt that the Democrats' investment of $20 million to solve their problem with men was money spent so absurdly badly that

it was a kind of staggering miracle. And I thought we could have a conversation about all of that,

because you're obviously concerned about the Democrats' man problem, but more deeply, you have the sense,

not to put words in your mouth, that something is amiss on the masculine front, and you're also

at odds and ends, let's say, about who men should turn to?
