I get why Blake is going through a separation or breakup. The way he treats Emma is probably how he treats women in general. Sam or Matt can chime in or even say something a tad insulting but the second that Emma does he just becomes a condescending prick. I felt bad for Emma but also loved seeing her face lose all sympathy or empathy for the guy as the call went on.
Just letting you know that automatically attributing all the faults to the "man" of the situation, based on a few seconds to few minutes of interaction only, is not very leftist of you...
The neo nazi who killed the 10 people in NY has both parents, a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The Columbine shooters both as far as I know had both parents. They were both upper middle class.
Violent Psychopaths sometimes are brought up in good households. This doesn't mean that single parent households are better than both parents being there. Boys who have no father figure are more likely to end up involved in crime. According to statistics.
It is not because of single parent homes kids have worse outcomes, it is because single parent homes have less money. It is like the old example that people with more cars live longer. It isn't the cars that keep you alive, it is the relationship to money.
People don't think about this because they've never actually had to deal with significant financial issues. Like he said in the call, the breakup wasn't financial. I don't know everything about him and don't want to assume things. But usually most people who wave away issues with poverty and the fact that people just have less money to work with and instead moan about "culture" and "values" usually have never had to struggle financially. And even with the ones who did struggle at some point, their survivorship bias completely clouds their mind. Survivorship bias honestly explains most of conservative and libertarian talking points on economics.
@@macgobhann8712 He said it wasn't financial, then pointed out that part of the reason they broke up was her spending habits. So he wasn't being entirely honest when he said that.

This argument of “broken homes” (when what they really mean is anything divergent from the nuclear family) always makes me roll my eyes - my parents made each other and me miserable for most of my life. The notion of divorce was never even an option for them because of how religious they were. On the outside, everyone would see us as a normal nuclear family when in reality everyone in the home was depressed, stressed, extremely mentally ill, and abusive to one another. Quite frankly, had my parents gotten divorced I feel like I would’ve had a WAY better childhood and WAY less trauma and mental illness that cripples me in my everyday life. Growing up, I saw some of my friends had the same issues- and I also noticed my friends with divorced parents actually seemed to be getting on better emotionally or even the same than me and my friends that lived in nuclear households. On that note; I lived in a very affluent area. Little to none of the people around me were struggling in any financial way. Sorry for my rant- this “broken home” argument just really gets on my nerves because there’s a LOT of rampant mental illness and abuse that go unnoticed in a normal nuclear American family 🤦♀️ It’s ridiculous and just distracts from the real issues at hand.
my parents stayed together and it fucked me up I realized it wasn't about my well being at all, while they continually chanted that it was, because of social pressures.
What a load of crock, I've raised my son for 15 years on my own. Had I and his father stayed together he would have been exposed to a violent drunk and I suspect we would both be different people. He is the kindest, hard-working young man you could ever meet. I'm in Australia where we have free health care and throughout school when he had problems with anxiety tthanks to bullying, I was able to get him help through a psychologist under a care plan (completely free!), he has learnt to manage his emotions, deal with difficult situations and thrive. Single parents do just fine when they live in a society where it's possible to give their kids what they need.
@@ChewyThomson sure seems like it and if a remember right his kid is a girl and you can see how he treats woman by his relationship falling apart and how he talked to Emma
Libertarians are always arguing that they’re purely objective and everyone else is arguing from an appeal to emotion, but the root of what they’re proposing is always “I feel bad when government takes my stuff.”
Pro abortionists are always arguing that they're purely objective and everyone else is arguing from an appeal to emotion, but the root of what they're proposing is always; "I feel bad when voters won't let me murder my baby". Arguments work in multiple contexts ya dingus...
Why would he specify biological parents staying together? An adopted 2 parent household would be just as good and better than single parent houses. 3 would be even better but nuclear families can't allow for that.
His brain probably hearing so many right wing talk shows repeat “biological woman” lately for transphobic/anti-lgbtq reasons so he has the word on the mind
It's like he's saying people don't die and leave a spouse behind ever with a kid. It's like he's saying that people don't do bad deeds that cause them to no longer be with that spouse.
@@TwoForFlinchin1 there's no such thing as out of wedlock. Marriage is just a made-up construct in the first place. There is no reason why you can't have sex outside of marriage. Absolutely not.

THE FREE LUNCH GUY IS BACK! I remember when he got dunked on before but he's back again. At this rate there might be hope for him seeing as he keeps calling in which means he's listening.
I lived in a broken home... with two very-still-together parents. We had a 90s Leave It To Beaver life on the surface, but underneath was just endless shards of glass. The world would be a better place if those two had never gotten together and had kids, but they did, and after they wrecked two of their own, they adopted two more. The caller has zero idea what he is talking about, and from the sounds of it is exactly the type of toxic dumpster fire who should never be in charge of children.
Blake admits bad finances broke up the family, then argues taking financial support away will be more helpful to keep families together. So Blake, if you financially couldn’t leave, would have that have been better for you two and a kid?
I don't know if can't is the word. WON'T is more like it. Look at all the Trumpers who still claim there is election fraud even though the J6 committee has pulled out tons of receipts and they aren't even done yet.
I love how Libertarians have to avoid poverty as the causal issue of basically near every issue they complain about, but, because they're Libertarians, they have to avoid it because it would, at the very least, require wealth redistribution/taxation/government public programs to address the problems, or radical revolutionary change (Socialism), which all Libertarians are opposed to both; as such they have to find some individualized social/interpersonal problems that only those people, with no real outside help from government institutions, and rather put the burden on the people suffering these problems to somehow fix themselves without changing the material conditions bringing about these outcomes they decry.
The best policies to prevent "broken homes" would be single-payer healthcare, UBI, and guaranteed housing, but *somehow* I doubt the caller is ready for that conversation
Sam: "There IS something we can do to make it less easy for killers to kill... What is it? " The only two answers are either to make people harder to kill by having every man, woman, and child walk around in full bullet proof armor and helmets whenever they leave the house OR cut down drastically on the number of firearms available or at least ease of access to those firearms by those that wish to kill. The fact that this guy couldn't be honest here just made me not take him seriously on anything.
A question that should be asked of anyone ignoring guns as the issue: "What about literally every other country in the world?" Is America's "broken home" problem thousands of times worse than Australia's? Are Americans thousands of times more mentally ill than German people? Are all the movies and video games and music consumed by Americans somehow not getting out to the rest of the world? Are Americans orders of magnitude less religious/God-fearing/Christ-like than Japanese people?
It's funny that he calls himself a libertarian when this argument epitomizes conservative political philosophy. The core of his argument is that a traditional family structure promotes moral health in the community and the government should work directly to support it. That's conservativism through and through, with not a whiff of "personal sovereignty" or any other libertarian value in the mix.
How are "broken homes" causing rising housing and gas prices? For that matter, how does it contribute to global warming, failing infrastructure, wealth of disparity, or falling lifespans?
I almost had to turn this off once I figured put he's just talking about himself. I wonder if this made him take a pause afterwards about how he came to his political positions.
He also doesn’t understand how 50/50 splits are not good for school aged kids since they have school unless both parents live nearby. There is also no such thing as 50/50 splits with spending on kids how would you even quantify that? Whose health insurance is the child gonna be on and whose paying co-pays and emergency bills? If the kid wants a a sleepover /party/event over on a night one parent is supposed to have them how is it resolved and what happens when the kid picks a side even if it’s due to something benign like mom lives closer to their best friend or dad lives closer to whatever after school activity? How will the parents remedy that without making the child sacrifice for the sake of 50/50? Gosh this leaves me with so many questions but ultimately it seems like this is a case by case agreement not a one size fit all the federal government would try to pigeon hole people into.
This is like half of the entire population lol. Its not a good way to form conclusions on society wide issues but its very very common. People are just drawn to their anecdotes.
Breaking News: Libertarian is unable to distinguish the difference between correlation and causation. I must tell you, I am absolutely SHOCKED at this development! 😆
Isn’t Arkansas one of those states trying to remove minimum age for marriage, bad abortions and oral anti contraceptives once roe is overturned?? If so idk about them Arkansas values… if you’re a lefty just stick with that
It doesn't matter if two parents are together. My father and mother stayed together and I wished they got divorced. It left me messed up how much they fought. Abuse, neglect; one parent will do just fine as long as there's no abuse or violence. A broken home to me isn't divorced parents, it's a home that is full of hate, abuse, neglect and violence or any combination, regardless if there is a father or not. It's ridiculous.
There needs to be be some kind of a weekly national news letter to libertarians that stress to them to stop debating Sam. He destroys them on a regular basis and it’s embarrassing and demoralizing, but for some reason they seem to be a glutton for punishment.
Emma holding back the laughter was one of the cherries on top of this. But what’s funny is that all of the stuff that this guy complained about would be solved by the things that the Left advocate for lmao.
So laughing at a guy to satisfy your complex of superiority who's slowly coming to conclusions federal policies work helps how? Except jerking off your own ego?
It has to be anything and everything except access to guns, which can be regulated. Next they'll blame people for not getting enough sunlight. What are we going to do then, state-mandate daily outdoor tanning?
It sounds like this caller is going through a rough patch and as many do within his ideological leanings, he has projected it into his ideology and policy advocacy. The premise is kind of absurd though and we can't just make up facts and agree it is probably true just because it sounds good or makes clear sense in our own heads, wherever our heads may be. What he was suggesting and proposing is just rather unhelpful in any case. If you truly wanted to reduce divorces or broken homes, you would solve one of the major problems that leads to them. The major problem that leads to this is financial in nature. You would provide services, subsidies, or direct checks to families. You would alleviate a lot of these responsibilities. This caller I can almost certainly say would oppose any meaningful solution at the government level to do any of this. A libertarian world would look more like the Gilded Age or just a lot just a lot like it does today just with our issues being multiplied. The Libertarian ideology is just an ideology that people grasp to who have not done the required critical thinking excercises to try and critique it. A libertarian government would be a hellscape where masses of people, much larger than even now would live in abject poverty and 'the free market' would turn into monopolies and trusts and many unethical practices that lead to consumers being far worse off. Nobody serious and nobody with any intellectual fortitude thinks a libertarian government would be a good idea, or that it would even sustain itself.
The fact that this person is arguing from a place of post-hoc custody disputes says they aren’t coming from a place of wanting to solve the actual root of the problem. And then goes on to say those programs should be limited. In other words, normal Libertarian logic
The caller fails to realize that the answer is more and better birth control, a really important component is that having children should be intentional and the circumstances of caring for the children prepared and stable. Then families can succeed.
These clowns rarely did this to Michael, but every time Emma or any other host who is a woman jumps in, they get instantly hushed. If I were Sam, I'd start stopping the calls and forcing them to answer her or get hung up on. She's absolutely right, condescending crap.
You've missed his point I think which as far as I can tell is if we don't have social services then his wife would have financially been forced to stay married to him. Which is pretty nuts.
I'm a man who was raised by a single mother and I hear the argument this guy makes a lot. Its just a weird bonkers scapegoat to me. On a personal level, knowing who my father is, there is no reality where I would have been a better person had he been an active figure in my life. A good father figure can be an invaluable resource, but it is not a prerequisite to raising a good person. Other factors are much more important when it comes to guiding your children in that fashion. Unrelated, that "let me give my staff permission" was a fantastic way to handle that situation. Cracked me up.

That is so true, that’s why you hear stories of hard core conservatives reforming in certain areas such as gay marriage when one of their children or close family members comes out as being gay.
@@DavEstra01 Or abortion: Conservative are pro-life - right up to the moment their mistress gets pregnant.
Hm no wonder I have a hard time distinguishing libertarians and conservatives from each other.
I get why Blake is going through a separation or breakup. The way he treats Emma is probably how he treats women in general. Sam or Matt can chime in or even say something a tad insulting but the second that Emma does he just becomes a condescending prick. I felt bad for Emma but also loved seeing her face lose all sympathy or empathy for the guy as the call went on.
Just letting you know that automatically attributing all the faults to the "man" of the situation, based on a few seconds to few minutes of interaction only, is not very leftist of you...
@@randomthings1293 he's had multiple calls over the span of a couple of years and he's always been that way. You can connect the dots pretty easily
@@randomthings1293 also never did I say that the woman had no faults.
Yeah, pretty much what I thought. The disrespect was palpable.
@@randomthings1293 This guy has been a jerk for years.
The neo nazi who killed the 10 people in NY has both parents, a nice house in a nice neighborhood. The Columbine shooters both as far as I know had both parents. They were both upper middle class.
The Columbine shooters were also not the bullied loners they're usually portrayed as. By most accounts they were the ones doing the bullying
and they were nazis
Violent Psychopaths sometimes are brought up in good households. This doesn't mean that single parent households are better than both parents being there. Boys who have no father figure are more likely to end up involved in crime. According to statistics.
@@prayunceasingly2029 who the fuck said single parents homes are better?
@@SpoopySquid This actually appears to be the rule among mass shooters. That, and ties to white supremacy.
It is not because of single parent homes kids have worse outcomes, it is because single parent homes have less money. It is like the old example that people with more cars live longer. It isn't the cars that keep you alive, it is the relationship to money.
But people will make up any reason to blame others for systemic issues like the glaring financial insecurity in the United States.
People don't think about this because they've never actually had to deal with significant financial issues. Like he said in the call, the breakup wasn't financial. I don't know everything about him and don't want to assume things. But usually most people who wave away issues with poverty and the fact that people just have less money to work with and instead moan about "culture" and "values" usually have never had to struggle financially. And even with the ones who did struggle at some point, their survivorship bias completely clouds their mind. Survivorship bias honestly explains most of conservative and libertarian talking points on economics.
@@macgobhann8712 He said it wasn't financial, then pointed out that part of the reason they broke up was her spending habits. So he wasn't being entirely honest when he said that.
@@66Sixxy Indeed. It sounds like he thinks that saying that there are financial problems is some sort of personal insult. If he wasn't such a jerk, I'd feel sorry for him.

I love how Libertarians base EVERY ASPECT of their world view and policy proposals on their own personal experiences. Conservatives are already classic projectionists, but Libertarians really kick it up a notch.
And literally based the entire call on how he hates paying child support.
I mean, that's how something like 80% of politically active Americans think. You wouldn't believe the number of ostensibly left people I've talked to who oppose socialized medicine, hormone blockers and mask requirements.
And Libertarians usually want the government to intervene on whatever single issue they're fixated with.
This is to the person who has no username. What, really? Are you sure they aren't liberal. Liberal doesn't mean left. While there is liberals who say their left, I would say they are closer to the center than truly left. While you can be a centrist that wants Medicare for all, many centrists don't want to change the system all that much or even at all. Actual people of the left are pretty together on Medicare for all. The only talk I have heard is whether private insurance should be allowed to exist or banned all together if we implemented Medicare for all in the states. I have yet to hear a progressive or leftist who doesn't want Medicare for all.
Whenever a libertarian says the words "Some kind of....." you know they're about to contradict their own anti-government ideology.

This argument of “broken homes” (when what they really mean is anything divergent from the nuclear family) always makes me roll my eyes - my parents made each other and me miserable for most of my life. The notion of divorce was never even an option for them because of how religious they were.
On the outside, everyone would see us as a normal nuclear family when in reality everyone in the home was depressed, stressed, extremely mentally ill, and abusive to one another. Quite frankly, had my parents gotten divorced I feel like I would’ve had a WAY better childhood and WAY less trauma and mental illness that cripples me in my everyday life. Growing up, I saw some of my friends had the same issues- and I also noticed my friends with divorced parents actually seemed to be getting on better emotionally or even the same than me and my friends that lived in nuclear households.
On that note; I lived in a very affluent area. Little to none of the people around me were struggling in any financial way. Sorry for my rant- this “broken home” argument just really gets on my nerves because there’s a LOT of rampant mental illness and abuse that go unnoticed in a normal nuclear American family 🤦♀️ It’s ridiculous and just distracts from the real issues at hand.
Yep, I'm fully convinced that my siblings and I would have been better off if my parents had gotten divorced 30 years ago.
it can be a thing that happens .
my parents stayed together and it fucked me up
I realized it wasn't about my well being at all, while they continually chanted that it was, because of social pressures.
@@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis My family genetics messed me up.
What a load of crock, I've raised my son for 15 years on my own. Had I and his father stayed together he would have been exposed to a violent drunk and I suspect we would both be different people. He is the kindest, hard-working young man you could ever meet. I'm in Australia where we have free health care and throughout school when he had problems with anxiety tthanks to bullying, I was able to get him help through a psychologist under a care plan (completely free!), he has learnt to manage his emotions, deal with difficult situations and thrive. Single parents do just fine when they live in a society where it's possible to give their kids what they need.

Imagine that, the problem is what you're personally dealing with right now. Sam absolutely nailed this guy.
Why would he specify biological parents staying together? An adopted 2 parent household would be just as good and better than single parent houses. 3 would be even better but nuclear families can't allow for that.
What, you don't want a literal sperm donor to co parent a lesbian couple for example? Lol. "Biological parents."

I lived in a broken home... with two very-still-together parents. We had a 90s Leave It To Beaver life on the surface, but underneath was just endless shards of glass. The world would be a better place if those two had never gotten together and had kids, but they did, and after they wrecked two of their own, they adopted two more. The caller has zero idea what he is talking about, and from the sounds of it is exactly the type of toxic dumpster fire who should never be in charge of children.
Blake admits bad finances broke up the family, then argues taking financial support away will be more helpful to keep families together. So
Blake, if you financially couldn’t leave, would have that have been better for you two and a kid?
These calls just get more and more dystopic. the fact that so many people can't see the reality in front of them is just so depressing

Santa Barbara shooter didn't come from a broken home.
I love how Libertarians have to avoid poverty as the causal issue of basically near every issue they complain about, but, because they're Libertarians, they have to avoid it because it would, at the very least, require wealth redistribution/taxation/government public programs to address the problems, or radical revolutionary change (Socialism), which all Libertarians are opposed to both; as such they have to find some individualized social/interpersonal problems that only those people, with no real outside help from government institutions, and rather put the burden on the people suffering these problems to somehow fix themselves without changing the material conditions bringing about these outcomes they decry.
As someone who's parents stayed together for the kids, this guy has no clue.
The best policies to prevent "broken homes" would be single-payer healthcare, UBI, and guaranteed housing, but *somehow* I doubt the caller is ready for that conversation
Considering how he feels about school lunches im going to say you're right.
Sam: "There IS something we can do to make it less easy for killers to kill... What is it? "
The only two answers are either to make people harder to kill by having every man, woman, and child walk around in full bullet proof armor and helmets whenever they leave the house OR cut down drastically on the number of firearms available or at least ease of access to those firearms by those that wish to kill.
The fact that this guy couldn't be honest here just made me not take him seriously on anything.
A question that should be asked of anyone ignoring guns as the issue: "What about literally every other country in the world?"
Is America's "broken home" problem thousands of times worse than Australia's? Are Americans thousands of times more mentally ill than German people?

One of the most divorced men I've ever heard, and he's not even actually divorced
It's funny that he calls himself a libertarian when this argument epitomizes conservative political philosophy. The core of his argument is that a traditional family structure promotes moral health in the community and the government should work directly to support it. That's conservativism through and through, with not a whiff of "personal sovereignty" or any other libertarian value in the mix.
Well, libertarians are Republicans who want to do drugs, so not really surprising.
I hate when libertarians don't know what libertarianism is.

How are "broken homes" causing rising housing and gas prices? For that matter, how does it contribute to global warming, failing infrastructure, wealth of disparity, or falling lifespans?
I almost had to turn this off once I figured put he's just talking about himself. I wonder if this made him take a pause afterwards about how he came to his political positions.
He also doesn’t understand how 50/50 splits are not good for school aged kids since they have school unless both parents live nearby. There is also no such thing as 50/50 splits with spending on kids how would you even quantify that? Whose health insurance is the child gonna be on and whose paying co-pays and emergency bills? If the kid wants a a sleepover /party/event over on a night one parent is supposed to have them how is it resolved and what happens when the kid picks a side even if it’s due to something benign like mom lives closer to their best friend or dad lives closer to whatever after school activity? How will the parents remedy that without making the child sacrifice for the sake of 50/50?
Gosh this leaves me with so many questions but ultimately it seems like this is a case by case agreement not a one size fit all the federal government would try to pigeon hole people into.
This is like half of the entire population lol. Its not a good way to form conclusions on society wide issues but its very very common. People are just drawn to their anecdotes.

It doesn't matter if two parents are together. My father and mother stayed together and I wished they got divorced. It left me messed up how much they fought. Abuse, neglect; one parent will do just fine as long as there's no abuse or violence. A broken home to me isn't divorced parents, it's a home that is full of hate, abuse, neglect and violence or any combination, regardless if there is a father or not. It's ridiculous.
Did he seriously say child support is federal?🤣🥴 That poor, misguided soul. Bless his heart.

It has to be anything and everything except access to guns, which can be regulated. Next they'll blame people for not getting enough sunlight. What are we going to do then, state-mandate daily outdoor tanning?
Blake would want a federally mandated daily outdoor tanning.
It sounds like this caller is going through a rough patch and as many do within his ideological leanings, he has projected it into his ideology and policy advocacy. The premise is kind of absurd though and we can't just make up facts and agree it is probably true just because it sounds good or makes clear sense in our own heads, wherever our heads may be. What he was suggesting and proposing is just rather unhelpful in any case. If you truly wanted to reduce divorces or broken homes, you would solve one of the major problems that leads to them. The major problem that leads to this is financial in nature. You would provide services, subsidies, or direct checks to families. You would alleviate a lot of these responsibilities. This caller I can almost certainly say would oppose any meaningful solution at the government level to do any of this. A libertarian world would look more like the Gilded Age or just a lot just a lot like it does today just with our issues being multiplied. The Libertarian ideology is just an ideology that people grasp to who have not done the required critical thinking excercises to try and critique it. A libertarian government would be a hellscape where masses of people, much larger than even now would live in abject poverty and 'the free market' would turn into monopolies and trusts and many unethical practices that lead to consumers being far worse off. Nobody serious and nobody with any intellectual fortitude thinks a libertarian government would be a good idea, or that it would even sustain itself.

Emma’s face @13:21 when really lets us peer behind the mirror 😂 What an unintentional overshare
The fact that this person is arguing from a place of post-hoc custody disputes says they aren’t coming from a place of wanting to solve the actual root of the problem. And then goes on to say those programs should be limited. In other words, normal Libertarian logic
The caller fails to realize that the answer is more and better birth control, a really important component is that having children should be intentional and the circumstances of caring for the children prepared and stable. Then families can succeed.
And sex education in general and a for good measure a higher education.

for the right a “broken home” is anything that doesn’t fit their concept of the traditional and Biblically-based “nuclear” family
You've missed his point I think which as far as I can tell is if we don't have social services then his wife would have financially been forced to stay married to him. Which is pretty nuts.
Emma's face throughout this entire conversation is on point for how to feel about this guy's point of view
Come on, everyone knows sleep can give you cancer. Show me someone who got cancer that didn’t ever sleep.
I'm a man who was raised by a single mother and I hear the argument this guy makes a lot. Its just a weird bonkers scapegoat to me. On a personal level, knowing who my father is, there is no reality where I would have been a better person had he been an active figure in my life. A good father figure can be an invaluable resource, but it is not a prerequisite to raising a good person. Other factors are much more important when it comes to guiding your children in that fashion.
