As someone who’s raised 4 people to full adulthood, the secret is to realize that you are NOT raising children but you are raising adults in training. It sounds like this is what Brett’s mom did.
@@tubulartopherThose adults who were raised with issues tend to take themselves out of the equation. They behave in a way that gets them socially isolated, and as such they typically are not successful at having/raising kids. Their crappy values and life strategies are therefore not disseminated to their children; not in all cases, but most of the time "bad behavior" dies with them.
That would be interesting, divorce, losing a son, losing a son to mental health, going through all that while still having to raise a daughter, her background philosophy. I’d definitely give that a read
@@NarutoUzumaki-vc4wy She didn’t “LOSE” a son to mental illness, Jesus Christ! He has schizophrenia - he’s not a sniveling invalid! People with schizophrenia can go on to live fulfilling, relatively normal lives. 😑
What I don't get is she says she worked for 10 years but was emancipated at 15 and she's only 22? She must have rounded up a bit...I love her tho, straight Wifey Material.
As someone who was homeschooled and successfully avoided the stereotypes...She nailed it. All about the involvement of the parents. If parents isolate their kids will be awkward, if they join extra curriculars and allow them to interact naturally it can work extremely well. Also the parent NEEDs to be invested in their kids education and development. I can't thank my mom enough for the time and effort she put into my sister and I.
I was the former, minimal participation from them I just sat at the computer all day. Never interacted with any other kids. My parents at least let me go to high school for my junior/senior years and I had the time of my life.
@@andrewhren7139 I think it really depends which high school more than anything. My parents moved to an affluent area, thinking I would get a good education at the public school there. It was absolutely miserable; full of spoiled sociopathic brats and the teachers were mostly at the school to coach various extracurriculars and didn’t give a crap about the school subjects. My partner went to a “lower class” school nearby and had an amazing time in high school. They actually had waaay more programs and interesting class options than my school because they were larger. Money doesn’t always directly equal quality of education, just keep that in mind. Maybe try to find out what current students or recent graduates are saying about the schools near you to get an idea.
@@stevenbalcaitis101 Did you watch the whole video? I was commenting on her mom’s achievements. While Brett is special and amazing too, her mom’s accomplishments are truly impressive. My comment was directed toward her mom being amazing. That doesn’t mean Brett isn’t amazing.
I was 21 when I got married, & my wife was 20. When we had our 1st born, I was 22, & she was 21. We were married 47¾ years before she passed after a long illness. I'm 71 now with a 28 year old grandson who is getting married next week & a married 24 year old granddaughter. If my body holds out, I will have a relationship with my great-grandchildren. I enjoyed my 20's as a college student & a soldier. I retired from the Army in my mid-40's, & stopped carrying a badge when I finally retired for the last time in 2018. Sorry for running on, but getting married young is not a bad thing.
100% agree on the getting married young. My wife and I moved in together at 19. Got married at 21, she was 20. Had our son at 24. Only had the one kid. Still married to this day, just passed 35 years. Retired 2 years ago and now just work part time to stay active and get a discount as I remodel our newest home.
Damn as someone who has a brother and dad with schizophrenia, I know how fkn rough it can be on the fam. Brett is incredible. She’s been through a lot but has overcome all obstacles in life, and it shows in her character. Much respect🙏🏽
@@SD-mi2vc Going through it helped build my character and fortitude. Wouldn’t be who I am today without it tbh. Definitely sucks that I had to grow up quicker, but at the same time it made me better for it.
Deliverance and salvation through Jesus Christ and before people start attacking me…I know this for certain. No diagnosed schizophrenic ever gets cured by psychiatrists.
My husband and i got married at 21 and 20. Got our degrees, moved, bought a house, and had our daughter at 24 and 23. We're working on the things we dreamed of. Kids might make the journey slower, but not impossible. Our daughter has brought us more joy than anything else and instantly made our lives better.
Well good for you because literally everyone I know from high school that had kids by or before 21-22 are all single mothers, broke, or back and forth with a very unstable relationship and no direction in life. Just bitter with bad kids 😂 IF I ever have kids it’ll be with the right girl when I’m financially stable enough to raise them, no accidents. People say it happens but honestly it doesn’t have to and I’ve had enough random hookups to at least argue it’s possible without being careless and getting the girl pregnant. My roommate who had his ex leave him after buying a house for her and her child that they got a test for and found out wasn’t his is now in the process of getting back with her because she got pregnant from a one night stand drunk (child was probably with Gma, typical) and when they talked about it and having a test again she said he probably won’t need to because well it’s probably going to come out dark skinned and he’s white 😂 but his dumbass is fully ready to let her pretend that dude didn’t happen and raise 2 kids that aren’t his. I don’t see why he loves this ugly ratchet ass hoe but things like this and the way these girls are nowadays makes kids scary to me. Btw I’m not racist, it’s not that she admitted the kid is likely black it’s the fact she’s completely stupid and irresponsible and now gets to duck all accountability by running back to him and he’s bout to let her 😂😂😂
@@twiggydaloc1497 well I understand the fear of fathering a child in this type of world. I would love a 2 parent household with someone I trust, but I dont see that happening. My priority is becoming the best version of myself.
The dating scene today is very scary. People are absolutely nuts and/or narcissistic. I feel sorry for people, including myself, who have to go out there and try to find a mate good enough to marry and have children with bc you're most likely not going to find that person unless you get desperate, lower your standards, and lie your way to the altar.
I am 72 years old and my story mirrors Brett's mom's story. The more I listened the more emotional I became. I just would like to comment on how grateful I am to hear the three of you discuss the REAL world and how it is in real time. Many of the things Brett shared about mental illness and drugs I have felt for years and years. I have four children, and all are mentally ill. The lack of real care has been unbelievable and heartbreaking. Not to mention how scorned those of us who advocate for our loved ones, by ignorant people who actually BLAME the parent. My prayer is for young people like you three can succeed in making a difference in this area and get real help for these beautiful, talented, intelligent broken people to get the help they truly need. God knows those who love them have deeply been ignored and in fact, actually pushed against our voice. Thank you so much.
Her story just has me in such tears of sadness and happiness at the same time. Her, her momma, and her family are just so incredibly strong especially with what cards they have been dealt.. Mrs. Cooper, you raised a brilliant young lady who’s an amazing influence for millions of young women. You and your family are loved, Brett!!
Wow! I have even more respect for Brett hearing her intelligence and maturity shine through the entire episode. She has accomplished so much! I'm glad to be along for the journey.
Except for the multiple times she just pulls up statistics out of her ass. I did a search on all of them and nothing remotely similar came up. Once again, I wish these culture war fans would actually try to understand what motivated reasoning is.
@@jamk2668 you also gotta realize that statistics can be extremely biased, mainly on the left side, but also some on the conservative side, except the articles from the left usually will come up first if you're searching on something owned by google. But I do wish she would say where she got them from all the time cause they can be interesting
Much credit to the interviewers too. They were very good at asking 'the right' questions as Brett told her stories and it just allowed it to be a great interview
Graham and Jack make such a good team. I feel like they have really good synergy and a good cadence and I also love that they agree on some things but disagree on other things bringing a lot of perspective to the table. Very balanced feeling, and really great episode. This felt like 3 old friends hanging out.
Her mom is the GOAT, what a wonderful woman to support her kid like that 25:00 let kids learn their lessons 1:34:00 homeschool creates parental freedom 1:36:00 kids are your besties 1:38:00 intentionality around kids 1:42:40 money behind intentional parenting
Unfortunately some of these lessons were leaned after she lost a child. She probably had a massive switch because her son never got to do and be due to her strict parenting before.
She kicked her brother out of the house while he was struggling with mental health issues and allowed him to be homeless wym the Greatest mom that’s fucking awful
You don't listen well. He refused to take his meds, he was dx'd with a very serious mental illness. Quit judging. Especially when you clearly only heard what you wanted to hear.
@@griffinmathers929 he was HOMELESS, do u get that. Sleeping with a friend or quite possibly on the street a good amount of times WHILE HE WAS HIGHLY MENTALLY ILL. Think about that, idk about you but I certainly wouldn’t just let my child out on the street like that no matter what, there are options but kicking your child out to the street is not one of them.
As a teenage girl, Brett is someone I look up to a lot. It’s getting harder and harder to share your opinions in 2023. I thought it was really brave for Brett to say that she wasn’t crazy about joe Biden. If I would’ve said something like that to my friends, they would not want to be friends with me anymore. I think Brett is a wonderful young woman. This episode is probably a starting point for me to share my own opinions for a change instead of ones I feel scared into believing. Thank you!
Don't worry, it's just teenagers and young 20 somethings who are insane like that. I'm in my late 20s and a liberal and none of my friends like the Democratic party at all. Everyone knows Joe Biden is insane. But the thing is so is the republican party. Equally so. The thing about the Democratic party is they lie and act as if they are different, but they are just like the Republicans.
Great interview... we home schooled our 2 boys - one has PhD in Mechanical ENg now, one has a Masters in Mech Eng at a national lab. They have lots of friends and active in their churches, both married ... we are so glad we took that path. I agree w Brett's push back. Our kids had to interact w kids of all ages and adults - not just kids their exact age as is done in public schools. We had our kids in dozens of extra curricular activities over the years ... So much for socialization.
You can tell she just loves learning. She accepts when shes wrong, learns from it and keeps going. Very intelligent. 100% agree with homeschooling. I will be homeschooling my kids.
@ShimonFrankel nope. Not changing my mind. Me and my husband have discussed this and we are changing our way of living now so we can homeschooling later. We don't have kids yet, but we ate working on our life now so we can do that for our kids.
As a fellow predominantly homeschooled female who also lost a brother at a young age, and had it completely alter my family dynamic as well as how I interacted with the world at large, its so incredible to see how God turned those experiences for good in both our lives. May God be with you Brett. From one passionate Conservative woman to another.
Our 7 were homeschooled, and I agree with Brett. Most homeschoolers we knew were not isolationists nor "unschoolers", so our kids grew up relating comfortably to all ages. They did farm work, volunteer work and nursing home work in high school. Homeschooling parents taught group specialty classes, such as welding, cheese making, animal husbandry etc. Our kids met highest scores (99-100%) for HSED, and scored in higest ranks for college/tech school - 2 are engineers, 1 was admitted into nursing school on her homeschool curriculum, draftsman/cabinet maker, accountant, business owners. Not saying this with the purpose of boasting, but to say that - in reality - and with intentional time investment - it CAN be done!
@@CJH_Taylor I had always seen these home school mom cheerleaders who rant and rave about it being the best thing ever, and thought: there's o way it's all that great. Now I'm a homeschool mom, after learning my son has special learning needs that would not be met in standard classrooms, and I'm one of those cheerleader moms! I am closer to my homeschooled child, am able to meet his learning needs without him thinkin he is stupid, etc. If you are able, and if the kids are of the right temperment for it, I encourage you to go for it. Its so scary to start, but once you start you realize there is nothing to be afraid of. It really is an amazing opportunity!
absolutely can be done, just blows my mind when people say the kids aren't socialized enough with home schooling. Like, hello? Ever hear of girl scouts? Karate class? Summer camp? In a classroom you sit there silent all day and potentially get bullied
This episode really opens your eyes to how human Brett is. Such a great example of an amazing intellectual person. I look forward to more content from Brett
Brett is awesome. I even managed to make my leftist ex like her, and actually calmed down on some of her more annoying opinions because of how articulate Brett is. I'm impressed by how certain she is about her beliefs, values, aspirations, and ambitions, when most people her age still haven't figured out what their ideal profession would be
If only she practiced that intelligence with critical thinking of her political positions because the conservative landscape is that of anecdotal evidence and anti science
As a brother of a schizophrenic who died tragically, and likey his schizophrenia was connected to drug use, I hold out hope for her brother as well. In part because I hope I will someday get adapted to the loss that still hurts, and part because after my brother I will always hold out blind hope for healing of those people trapped in our overwhelmed by their own mind.
Brett, thank you so much for speaking about mental health. I’m more on the conservative side but I get so frustrated with conservatives that pretend mental illness doesn’t exist. So many of our country’s problem stem from mental illness and I wish conservatives would help come up with real solutions
Mental illness very much exists and many suffer with it. I've leaned right politically for many years, consider myself conservative, and I've suffered with several anxiety disorders: diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder, and undiagnosed very likely Emetophobia and Hypochondria. Mental illness and anxiety doesn't run in my family, but I believe my lifelong deep anxiety issues stem from my very early premature birth, born at 25 weeks. Conservatives are pro-life after all, I was born very early, have deep anxiety issues because of my birth, so I'd hope conservatives would care about babies long after birth as well as care about the mentally ill and those who struggle with it. But I know many do. I myself care about preemie babies long after their birth, their physical and mental health, and care about those who suffer with mental illness.
Yeah I have always been a conservative and I feel like we support and talk about mental health! I think what liberals see as “let’s not just blame all our problems on mental health” as is somehow denying it but the fact is almost every person in the world struggles with something mentally whether themselves or a family member. We to support each other but we can’t just use it as an excuse for being lazy, or rude to others. That’s what I feel like liberals tend to do. Not trying to say this accusingly because I’m not saying all liberals do that. But most of my liberal friends like to say “oh sorry I insulted you it’s just because my “insert mental health issue”. But they don’t consider that everyone else also has those problems and somehow survives without tearing others down or wasting all their time on the couch complaining about other people.
It's so nice sitting in to discussions like this where it's legit a healthy, productive, and respectful exhanging of ideas on many subjects that easily amd normally lead to fights. It's so refreshing. I have a short attention span but I really enjoyed this 3 hour video.
@@cameronbell415 why do I think it’s crazy ? I just think it’s a little extreme to pick whom you are friends with based off that. I get it from the standpoint of wanting to surround yourself with like minded people with good morals - but having a child doesn’t make you more moral. I personally don’t want kids - but I do play with my friends kids and I am always the first to offer to baby sit their kid if they want to go on a date night or something. I regularly hangout with my friends and their children.
@@Han.ban11 I agree; I'd assume the 'not wanting kids' criteria was usually surrounded by a vastly different lifestyle/perspective (i.e. "I hate kids, I'd never be able to go out late, etc.). Obviously, not everyone, but most people I talk to who don't want kids are the latter rather than the former mindset (like yourself)
29 year old here!Homeschooled, graduated with a masters degree at 23, was a professional bowler for 5 years, and was the youngest bowling center proprietor at 23, and I definitely contribute all of this to my parents homeschooling me and teaching me. I feel like I almost had the same experience as Brett and honestly I would never change how I grew up. I would be done with my whole year of school work in 2 months and I would be traveling the country bowling and making a name for myself. My parents did anything and everything they could do to get me out there and be an athlete and show that not all homeschoolers are socially awkward. I loved the freedom I had being homeschooled and was able to interact with all people, young and old. Made it though the shutdowns in California with my bowling center and we are busier than ever and a lot of people in my community come in daily because my center is still family own and my family all work together to make it better for everyone! Definitely an awesome interview you guys had with Brett and I love how she expressed how much she loved her childhood and how she wouldn’t change a thing!
That's amazing! Homeschooling is underrated and I understand a lot of people can't manage it, but cheers to those that can do it. Cheers to your success and future!
Brett is a ball of fire. A force of undetermined and unmeasurable energy that is unstoppable and undeniable. Her incredible rise to prominence while engaging what seems like endless timed opportunity seems almost unfathomable to me, and I can barely comprehend nor process it. These are the moments, where it feels to me like some lives are predetermined. Yes it takes hard work, but it seems they will arrive at the path, no matter what obstacles stand in their way.
As a parent, you cannot be your kids' "best friend". Brett is correct: Parental love is all about launching them to be independent one day. (I have found that being a parent helps you to understand God's unconditional love for us.) It is important to observe each of your children's personality and help each to develop their talents and protect their soul.
She said it herself her mom just thought if she had known her son would old have 17 years would she have said yes to this decision I would believe the rest just comes from a strong moral frame work and dedicating your life to raising a child the right way
Homeschooling family here, doing it on one blue collar income. I see so many comments here saying that you can only do this if you come from money, or if you have money, but that's absolutely not true. Homeschooling on one income takes an immense amount of sacrifice and the brutal truth of the matter is is that most people are not willing to do this type of sacrifice. It means only driving used paid off cars, living far below your means, not going to restaurants and not taking expensive vacations, not keeping up with the Joneses. No subscription services, picking up extra gig work on some nights/weekends. Don't tell me you can't homeschool on one income, I know you can because we're doing it. It's all a matter of whether or not it's a priority and how high of a priority it is. Do you want to pull your kids out of the public school indoctrination camp enough to downsize your square footage significantly? Sell a car and become a one car only family? Live so radically different than the culture around you so that your family is radically different than the culture around you? Let me encourage you, its hard and its completely worth it. Keep your kids.
I'm a 50 year old woman and I love Brett's personality and perspective on the world. I listen to her show daily. It was fascinating to hear her entire story as I've been so curious about the bits she's revealed on her show. I've never watched this podcast before but the guys were great. I appreciate that they just let her talk and asked very thoughtful questions when they did interject. I can't wait to see what else she'll do in her life, she's an amazing woman.
Her whole life trajectory was changed by the death of her brother that impacted her mother to let her live life to the fullest. She’s the embodiment of growing up, going forward, being encouraged to become…! Contrary to most of us, who go to school and are broken by the word a thousand times over and over, sometimes by our own families. If all parents were investing all their energy on their kid, being an exemple and actually spending time with us… we wouldn’t be so broken at 12, 15, 18 years old! I couldn’t imagine Brett self harming at 13 like me. Or being passed out drunk at 17 years old. She received an incredible amount of grace by God by being protected more than the average child in this world. Life did not break her down and that’s how she became the woman she is.
Passion, and the high energy are the two biggest similarities between Brett and Ben’s success. That fast firing brain doesn’t hurt at all. I’m a voice over guy since 1970s and I lost that first firing mouth and had to step back to commercial platforms that were as far away from life as one can get. Love Ben and Brett.
Brett Cooper is hands down one of the best podcasters. Even at her age she is light years ahead of 90% and it’s been a great experience to see her grow and evolve in the atmosphere she basically controls. She proves Women can be just as dominant as BenShap while being able to get an entire new audience that’s much younger and looking for guidance. Absolutely amazing
This low-key felt like a date between Brett and Jack LOL. This episode was really awesome. I have never watched this show before but it came up on my recommended because Brett is here but I honestly really enjoyed watching this. I think i will subscribe. Always a good time with Brett honestly, but you guys made it better.
Same here about this show. Never heard of it or seen it, but popped up on my feed because of Brett, and I just watched the entire 3+ hour exchange. And I was here for it. This was the best interview of Brett I've seen, I've always wanted to hear more from her, but all the other interviews are like 19 minutes or less. BTW, which one is Jack? Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to the beginning, anyway, I was thinking she and the guy in the black would make a great couple (if he's conservative enough).
30:53 I’m glad Brett said that. Everyone is struggling with something. Whether they’re homeless, or getting bullied, or grieving over the loss of a loved one.
I'm sad that these homeschool stigmas still exist. I had hoped that after so many families pulled their kids out during the Covid nonsense, people would realize home schooled kids are pretty normal. Research shows they do have higher grades, less drug/alcohol issues, stronger family bonds, etc.
My husband and I both grew up homeschooled on opposite sides of the US and people who find out almost always say “Oh wow but your so normal/ so socially literate” and it always makes me kinda roll my eyes because I had friends in public school and I had about 3 times as many friends as them because my parents cared more about experiencing different aspects of life than just sitting in the same chair all day. I went to school for two years and made 1 new friend whom did not last after I was gone from school. During those two years at “regular school”‘I developed anxiety and depression. Never had any issues previously… I think people are just told that public or private school is the only way to socialize kids but in reality it’s the worst type of socialization. Kids are mean when they don’t spend enough time with their families/ don’t have enough outside world experience.
Jack is adorable with how enthusiastic he is, especially when it comes to having kids. He seems like the right person for that kind of job. I will say this though...you can't expect ANYTHING from your kids. They are born who they're meant to be, and that means that no matter how hard you try sometimes, your kids will fight against you. You say "X", they say "Z." You won't always feel that "special" bond. Some of them may have developmental delays. It's a very challenging job, exhausting job, and a job you can never quit from if you have a conscience.
I'm so mind blown that I actually watched this full 3 hours video, it's something I've never done. I don't even watch Netflix. You 3 are so entertaining and the discussions and flow of your conversations is Incredible. Well done! You've earned a new subscriber! 😊
Legitimately asking, how do you go about home schooling? I’ve wanted to get a good grasp on how it’s done before I have children, so I can have a legitimate talk about doing it. I’ve met and seen a lot of people who were home schooled, and it doesn’t feel like they missed out on much aside from the forced human interaction every single weekday for the majority of their childhood. Not saying they weren’t allowed any, or didn’t get any. Just saying that was one of the biggest things I see being more “left out” moreso than just different. It’s really interesting to me, but I have no clue how to go about it. How would one start? What do you need? What’s the financial investment look like? I have a good grasp on the time commitment. It’s kinda self explanatory. Who would you talk to?
I have mixed feelings about being homeschooled. I'm an only child. We moved when itnwas time for high school and I went to a public HS. My social skills...were and still are... HORRIBLE. But in today's society.. it may be worth the risk.
@@Aromatic.Bleach no offense to you- but that isn't bc you were home schooled, but bc you were schooled by unprepared parents who didn't bother to make sure you developed socially correctly. That also happens to countless children, (including me, so only trying to speak from experience) in public, private, & home school all the time.. It's not up to teachers to show you how to be a person- but most parents rely on that as the only way their child learns socialization- creating a huge divide in the skills we think adults should have and what we are actually helping children understand before they enter the world. But mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, right?

I’m a college professor and recently decided to homeschool our sons. It’s been amazing! And our social calendar is fuller now than when traditionally schooled 🤣🤣
I'm a "weirdo mom" who is homeschooling my kids since Covid. I'm so glad I was forced into this. My academically advanced child can personalize her education so much more, and my children who struggle with academics gets a personalized education that will best prepare them for their future. My kids teachers at public school were great, but I have 0 doubt in my mind that my kids are getting a better education at home, because I can completely customize it for each of them. I hope more homeschooled people like Brett will keep talking about how beneficial homeschooling can be. (PS, also personally homeschooled from 1st-11th grade myself)
If you see this, here’s my question. I have a toddler and a baby on the way so we’re not to school age yet but I am really hoping to be able to homeschool. Is there a certain lesson plan you use or do you hire tutors or anything? I’m genuinely curious because most people I’ve asked have kind of put me down for even wanting to homeschool rather than offering any helpful information. I am aware there are co-ops in my area but if you have any general advice or good resources I’d love to know!
It would be a good idea to get in contact with the leaders of the co op because they can probably point you in a more specific directions. Rainbow resources is a good source to get books and curriculum from..Co-op leaders might be able to give you specifics about state requirements as well.Every state is different.
Don’t really care for Hassan on here. Brings no value talks nonsense and takes things out of context. Legit the same as h3. Everything out of context and create opinions on the first few words without knowing the facts on these topics. Worst part of them is that they’re spreading misinformation
What a clever, clever gal. Love how self aware she was and is. If you’re not being challenged at school it’s so important to speak up. Without embarrassing the teacher of course. Hand up, teacher here. Birth control, did a lot of research before having my kids. I chose pills over natural because pills were so much more reliable. Didn’t want a surprise. S’pose it’s the control person in me. Fascinating dialogue! 👏👏
Good for you on the BC choice. I like Brett, but she spews a lot of misinformation when it comes to hormones and birth control. She has her own video about it and it's clear she doesn't have a clue how to read and analyze the research she quoting.
My mom is schizophrenic & I'm always nervous about mentioning that to people, so I appreciate how open Brett is about talking about her brother. Also it's cool that I can tell that Graham is probably a libertarian just like me.
@@techsupport891 I would disagree. Libertarians believe that we should have the smallest government possible which doesn’t have much power and that decisions go to the citizens. Of course, there is a police system, and fire department, etc. But again, we would have an economic stability and with the rates of people opening small businesses and “being their own bosses,” we are able to balance the economy. This is just my stance. Feel free to show me what you mean. Also, there is a mix of liberal and conservative leaning Libertarians, which may invalidate your statement. I say this out of respect.
@@girlscangame315 unfortunately the libertarian party in the us is polluted with sovcits and pedos, which are basically just anarcho-libs with no economic views (they dont understand how it works); think back to the gary johnson debate where the moderator asked if he thinks driving licenses should exist, he said "id like to see some competency exhibited by people before they drive", people booed him and the guy next to him said "whats next, a license to make toast in your toaster?" this is literally how those people think. republican libertarians are what most people think of when they think libertarians, which is just center right, and democratic libertarians are lean left since the farther left you go the more authoritarian you have to be.
@@girlscangame315I think what happens is a lot of people will just call themselves “Libertarian” without fully understanding the meaning. What they mean is that they are in the center or can’t decide what should or shouldn’t be legislated. In reality, the philosophy behind Libertarianism is distinct and those people still need to understand the fundamental roles of government, which do include protecting the right to life by the way. I think I agree with your explanation but I may not have a complete understanding. I don’t think I would call myself a Libertarian but do believe Republicans have done way too much to grow big government.
This world needs more people like, Brett. She has depth, insight, maturity, and vision. She has fire and the will to move the vision she has out into the world, and give it flesh. Thank you...this was a fantastic interview.
WOW!!! Brett, your story is incredible!! You are so tough and such a hard worker!! I'm so impressed!! Fellow homeschoolers over here!! People need to hear more from successful, good people like yourself that homeschooled!! LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!
Having kids while I was young was one of the best decisions I made. It made me so much less self-centered than I was before, I was much more willing to ask people for parenting tips and I had tons of energy to keep up with them. I know a lot of people who are just becoming parents for the first time in their late 30s and 40s and they don't have energy and they think they know everything. Their kids are spoiled and are raised by nannies and the parents think the kids are fine. You don't need to go out, party and "see the world" if you have kids in your 20s because you get see the world through their eyes.
Whether you agree with her politics or not, she is admittedly a very intelligent young woman. Great conversation and insightful into the person behind the persona. Hopefully we get to see more guests from both sides of the political aisle like this.
I have an issue with calling someone very intelligent when almost 100% of their content is trolling another party without once reacting to terrible things the other party does. We cant sit and pretend both parties don’t do terrible things and in turn, their voters.
@@j0j01192 She responds to both sides but when the left controls the bulk of social media it's hard to ignore what's shoved into your face. She is intelligent just like how hasan is intelligent, acknowledging someone's intelligence doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say. The bulk of the controversies right now are about the lgbt community and the racism that is in america, whether someone believes something that you disagree with doesn't make them any less of a person. she has her beliefs on certain things just like you do but to go and in a sense belittle her accomplishments because you might not agree shows the world we live in at the moment. (edit) i know it may be long but i just typed out what i believed.
@@AydynRC that's generally the problem withost ppl. I am happy to know that even if I don't like somebody I can still respect their talents. If we could all do that the world would be better
I'm a 19 yo girl and i hold similar beliefs to brett even though i disagree with her on certain areas and this made me realize how strong and exceptional Brett is. She went through so much and has dealt with so much pain but still managed to come out of it gracefully and actually live an amazing and successful life. I've loved her for a long time now but this interview truly made me look up to her and she somewhat became my role model now. Thanks for having her over and for being so respectful, this was awesome!
Im 18 and me and brett have extremely similar views. Hearing how much she did makes me want to better myself. Maybe I’ll go into politics one day. I’m a loudmouth with opinions.
I was home, public, and private schooled, and my kids are homeschooled. It always cracks me up when people say homeschoolers are weird. It's like, have you hung around any kids lately? Public schools kids have almost no social skills, can't converse with adults, and are running around calling themselves all kinds of bizarre pronouns, while wearing tails.
Wow she's a much stronger person than I thought. She basically had to grow up much earlier than most other people. After all she's been through, I couldn't handle going through all of that myself at that young of an age.
As a teen, my only dream is to have a family and be a stay at home mom. And I am convinced that being a parent is the noblest thing you can do in your entire life and it's what a lot of us are designed to do.
This was such a fun listen. I came to this channel through shorts and eventually ended up watching the whole thing. Not a Brett Cooper fan but love how she believes in her ideas and articulates very well where she is coming from. I also enjoyed how honest the hosts were about their differing opinions and asked really good nuanced questions.
I listen while at work, so it took me a few days to get through this episode... but I LOVED IT. Fantastic conversation, love Brett even more than I already did. Also, really cool to find out she's originally from Chatt!
@@bananasmatter1321 I don't think that is good advice. Each kid needs adaptive parenting. On top of that Brett's mom made huge leaps to support her, but some families don't have the capacity to do that for all of their children. If a couple's children all want to move to different states to persue a career or education at a young age, they wouldn't be able to do all of it.
I want to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this interview. I've watched Brett for a long time but unfortunately I was not familiar with your channel - so you WON a new subscriber. 😂😂😂😂😂. I enjoyed that you discussed many topics - some controversial or 'taboo' in my generation. But I found it EXTREMELY INTERESTING, it was informative on several topics. Honestly there should be a Part II I think there are a lot of topics you could delve into and it would be another AMAZING SHOW.
This is awesome. Brett is a great guest! Really cool you guys aren’t afraid to have on someone conservative! You might be surprised how many of your watchers are
I dont think theyd be surprised. They talk about being financially responsible and working hard. There audience is atleast 75-80% republican/conservative I'd guess. It would be interesting to see a poll.
@@cheezeandcrackers Exactly. It would be a heavily conservative audience - people who advocate personal responsibility and hard work. I don't think there are many Marxists watching Graham.
@@cheezeandcrackers Ah yes, Republicans are known for their fiscal responsibility. Like when Trump ran up the deficit. My goodness, stop stereotyping. Political beliefs have nothing to do with whether someone is responsible or not.
This is the best interview I’ve listened to in a very long time! Now if I could get my teens to check Brett out! Great job to your mom Brett. She raised a champion and you’ve taken that and have run with it! Keep going girl.
“What in life could be better than being a father?” I’m ashamed to say that that is not my attitude in being a father. Slowly I am trying to work on that. Good for this guy for having that attitude. Actually, GREAT for this guy!
This was awesome! I've been subscribed to brett now for awhile and i loved getting to hear more about her story and her heart with her content. Apprecisted you guys having her on and having some great discussion 😊
As a DW subscribe and Brett fan, I loved this interview. Especially liked hearing her story and what all she has been through in her 21 years. Said as a fellow 21 year old.
Mental health issues are very real my sister has struggled for 10 years. I watched a beautiful hardworking girl that got good grades, never got in trouble and went to college. She got married and had a child. All of sudden when she reached her late ‘s 20’s she literally walked away and said she did not want to be a mother or a wife. She packed her things and moved back in with our mother. The next day she left said she was going to get a job. A few hrs later returns to tell us she got a job as a stripper. She started abusing drugs that were introduced to her by the other dancers. She was later diagnosed with bipolar. disorder. She won’t take medication and has visited her son maybe 4 times in a decade. She now is addicted to meth and moved 4 hrs away with a man much older than her. It’s heart breaking to watch. She was given SSI but it’s only 1,000 a month and you can’t live on that much money. The government doesn’t require anyone to monitor her money. Despite being diagnosed disabled with mental illness. She blows most of it on meth and cigarettes.
You haven’t noticed that through his other videos? He always gives the benefit of the doubt and tries not to judge people who seem like they can do better
25:31 I was an immigrant in Canada from grade 6, arrived from Belarus, a former Soviet Union country. More than half of the kids in this school were immigrants from all over the world. Everyone was so weird in the eyes of everyone else that no one was weird. If I met a homeschooled kid, believe me, I wouldn't have known the difference. And I would not think of them as any more weird than any of the kids I knew in my school or in my neighborhood. What you're describing sounds to me like it was you and your schoolmates who were in their own bubble, not the homeschooled kids. It's funny how people, who have a different experience nevertheless size each other up in the exact same way and give each other the exact same tag.
The woke will call her entitled but really she was/is self-motivated and self-driven. Once mom saw she needed to open up as a 5-year old at brother’s school, she was on her way! Bravo!
Not so much entitled. It's more a case of her having had a TON of connections from the very start. When you have great connections and everybody loves you, you can go very far very fast. Her defenders will jump up and say how she started off "just like everybody else" and that is completely false
@@montecarlo4294 She made most of her connections though. She kind of started off worse than most others, but she worked her way to her success. She had a broken home and major parental issues. Seems most of her success was directly due to her willingness to pursue things she was interested in. People act like she was given her success, but she clearly worked for it.
Jack and Brett need to go on a few dates to see if there is anything there. There interaction and values are extremely compatible so I really hope they give it a shot.
Brett Cooper's huge contribution to Daily Wire is not that she is the younger Gen Z host but that she is explicitly the only Daily Wire host NOT dogmatically political in shows and debate; Dr Kevin Leman wrote extensively that last born kids in families contribute individualism, humor, nuance, and diplomacy to society at large (Kevin and.myself are last borns; last borns hear that "you were an accident" quite often). We used to have many more shows in the recent past that were not so political and antagonistic than the overwhelming majority of shows currently in comedy, news, movies, television, and even documentaries. I see this political trend changing in the future as people at large will find politics in the current tribal sense will change towards much more nuance in daily life just like this excellent broadcast conversation.
Well said. I may disagree with Cooper as a leftist, but she’s one of the few right-wingers I’ve come to respect. It’s not often that people try to genuinely build bridges and acknowledge the human side in the “other side.”
A civil conversation sure but there's been no challenge to any of the subject matter so far beyond surface level stuff. Like no one batted an eye that she went and worked for pragaru? Or why Ayn Rand appealed to her?
@@Trekyhunters PraegerU and Rand supposed to be a real gotcha moment, a damning indictment or something? You can learn some great things from these two. It is possible to both disagree some and agree some with people, and find value. It bothers me in todays society that many people believe if you’re a conservative that means you agree with 100%, or visa versa with liberal. @tnghunter youre certainly free to express thoughts, I feel like you’re train of thinking is very divisive. Divisive first, and seeking for truth, second. Just because Rand appeals to me too doesn’t mean I won’t make significant charitable contributions this year. I find her exploration on “value”, in the abstract, very interesting and worthy of analysis. And I’ve listened to DennisP speak, and what I’ve heard is pretty good (but I haven’t fully explored his entire body of work, I confess). I think he is genuinely trying to do good things.
As someone who has gone through a surgical miscarriage from a molar pregnancy, just because the surgery is very similar doesn’t mean it’s the same it hurts me the media does that
I'm sorry you had to go through that!! It makes me sad that I see doctors using women to make an absurd point by carrying something to the extreme. Like the ones that won't do a procedure for a still birth and tell the patient that they could be arrested due to the law.. 🙄 they know it's untrue and they are INTENTIONALLY doing it to make a political point. 🤷♀️ I know someone that JUST happened to. They had her convinced she could be prosecuted because her baby died in gestation 🤬 I told her to sue! It's ridiculous and needs to stop! I'd say the same for the other way around.
I was homeschooled until 8th grade and I honestly hated it. Im a very social person but I was also scared of everything, so I never jumped for opportunities. I had no friends and my mom wasn’t the best teacher. I fell in love with public school when I started going. I think it just depends on if the parent did it right. I love my mom but homeschool was not her strong point and I’m glad she gave me the option to go to school because I’m much happier now. ❤
Great ep, reminds me to never judge someone as we never know what they been through or going through and just be a decent human being, something we have lost sight of
2:54:45 Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada WAS originally for only terminal or extreme cases. As a canadian who works in healthcare, I really saw the humanity in letting people who were in their last stages get to have one final piece of control over their lives and bodies. The new rules and additions to the legislation are ludicrous. The line in the sand being changed and erased is terrifying and really emphasizes that conservative "slippery slope"...
This is absolutely inspirational. Hearing how she matured and became professional at such a young age is very inspiring. I've been homebound for a year and a half, missing 3/4 of Junior High due to three surgeries ( 3 Pilonidal Cystectomies). I've matured a large amount, and think more like an adult than a 14-year-old girl. I've been wanting to join a historical society, and hearing about Brett just walking in and placing down her resume is definitely inspiring. Wow, it's amazing to hear Brett's coming-up story, it makes me want to do more. I also really enjoyed the dialogue from the guy in black. Absolutely entertaining and true. Everything he said about having children really resonated with me. Great video, I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to future videos from you guys!
Ok, so I am watching this video 3 months post-release after having just finished watching Ben Shapiro’s appearance on this show. Ben hit the nail on the head about something I think Brett and these two young men are still unaware of -he talked about how our habits and lifestyles become more and more ingrained in us so that we are no longer as malleable as what is needed for us to succeed at marriage. I agree with him that our society is waiting far too long to get married and start their families. When you are in your early and mid-twenties, you feel like you have your whole life ahead of you and you don’t realize how putting those things off changes you. I have seen with many loved ones just how problematic it can be to put off the entire idea of marriage and families. We have a society that states the only way to find fulfillment is through your career and that just isn’t accurate. In fact, the older I get (I am 40), the more I realize just how little the dream career I spent the first 3/4 of my life striving for truly matters and how much I wish I had prioritized preparing myself to be the best wife and mother I could be but I too bought into those lies about making my career my singular focus and aspiration.
I believe what's society lacks in general is self-awareness and consciousness (in the sense of being concious of your own desires and needs). I'm not from the US or any "real" western country. Where I live the society would be considered "traditional" by many american conservatives. That's just the context. Me and all of my friends are very different. I'm in my early 20s. I'm single and focus on ny career. My friend is two years younger than me and is getting married in December. Another one of my friends is an Orthodox Christian that comes from a not-really religious family. I'm an atheist. None of us are living our lives the way we do because "society" told us, but because we are aware enough of our own wants and needs at this point in our lives. Despite our major differences, we support each other. I'm extremely thrilled for my friend getting married and I frequently go to churches and religious sites with the other friend of mine. Society will always "dictate" something, but it's our own responsibility to learn and know what we want from life.
I really enjoyed this episode. I tecently discovered both of you from another channel, Unapologetic. As an older woman, i often felt alienated in ny beliefs that healthy debate is a peace bringer. I heard Brett sun it up so well, that understanding each other's experiences, why they believe, why they have certain feelings, allows us to respect each other's rights to those thoughts abd feelings. I've always found such discourse benefitial because the exchange of information alliws us to revisit our own stance and either we are reaffirmed in the strength of our stance, or, after reflection upon new information and insight, we revise our stance. Either way, it is a tremendous opportunity for growth. It renews my hooe for our country to see young people embracing the exchange of views as the means to common ground.
Brett, I’m about 14 years older than you (millennial), I got married at 23, had my first kid at 26, I stay at home and homeschool my kids and I’ll tell you that YES it’s just as fulfilling and wonderful as you think it will be. No job, no travel, no adventure, NOTHING you could do can even begin to compare to the value and worthwhile ness of being a parent. You can travel and have a job or whatever later. And you’re totally right about the grandparent thing. My friend has generations of young parents and because of that, her kids got to know and remember their Great Great grandmother! How cool is that??
You're only saying this because you never had any other choice. Statistics prove it's better to travel early in life and have kids later in life...not only for yourself but for the well being of the children.
@@jamk2668Stop bro, you’re just wrong. The best route is to have kids at a young age, then once they’re out of the house you can go travel and explore the world after fulfilling your purpose as a parent. You’re guaranteed the ability to have a career/travel life after you have kids, but you’re NOT guaranteed kids after having a career/travel lifestyle.
As someone who’s raised 4 people to full adulthood, the secret is to realize that you are NOT raising children but you are raising adults in training. It sounds like this is what Brett’s mom did.
Thats really smart!!! I’m gonna have to remember that! ❤
I like what she said was that she was raised on values and not political narratives
I'm curious, what is your opinion of what we as a society should do with adults that weren't raised properly and turned out with issues?
100%
@@tubulartopherThose adults who were raised with issues tend to take themselves out of the equation. They behave in a way that gets them socially isolated, and as such they typically are not successful at having/raising kids. Their crappy values and life strategies are therefore not disseminated to their children; not in all cases, but most of the time "bad behavior" dies with them.
My takeaway from this episode is that Brett's Mom needs to write a book about her life...
That would be interesting, divorce, losing a son, losing a son to mental health, going through all that while still having to raise a daughter, her background philosophy. I’d definitely give that a read
I would definitely read that!
@@NarutoUzumaki-vc4wy She didn’t “LOSE” a son to mental illness, Jesus Christ! He has schizophrenia - he’s not a sniveling invalid! People with schizophrenia can go on to live fulfilling, relatively normal lives. 😑
I’d sign a petition to have that. I’d buy it in a heartbeat
If she had Brett's permission. Don't need another Jennifer Aniston's mom situation:)
This young woman has done more things in her short life than 10 people combined. Amazing.
? Getting a job at daily wire?
@@SCPMstudiosyou clearly didn’t watch or listen to any of this. Real edgy.
What I don't get is she says she worked for 10 years but was emancipated at 15 and she's only 22? She must have rounded up a bit...I love her tho, straight Wifey Material.
@@J.Mingsy92she was a child actor
She started working before she was emancipated. She spent half an hour talking about it
As someone who was homeschooled and successfully avoided the stereotypes...She nailed it. All about the involvement of the parents. If parents isolate their kids will be awkward, if they join extra curriculars and allow them to interact naturally it can work extremely well. Also the parent NEEDs to be invested in their kids education and development. I can't thank my mom enough for the time and effort she put into my sister and I.
I was the former, minimal participation from them I just sat at the computer all day. Never interacted with any other kids. My parents at least let me go to high school for my junior/senior years and I had the time of my life.
@@iro9486 how old are you? i feel like i would be so nervous to put my kids in public high school lol
@@andrewhren7139 I think it really depends which high school more than anything. My parents moved to an affluent area, thinking I would get a good education at the public school there. It was absolutely miserable; full of spoiled sociopathic brats and the teachers were mostly at the school to coach various extracurriculars and didn’t give a crap about the school subjects.
My partner went to a “lower class” school nearby and had an amazing time in high school. They actually had waaay more programs and interesting class options than my school because they were larger. Money doesn’t always directly equal quality of education, just keep that in mind. Maybe try to find out what current students or recent graduates are saying about the schools near you to get an idea.
NERD
Non of you talk about your fathers. Always mom mom mom. It’s disgusting
Can we all give a round of applause to her amazing mother?
No.... Sounds like Brett is a special kid.... More so than her mom being amazing.
@@stevenbalcaitis101 Did you watch the whole video? I was commenting on her mom’s achievements. While Brett is special and amazing too, her mom’s accomplishments are truly impressive. My comment was directed toward her mom being amazing. That doesn’t mean Brett isn’t amazing.
Yup, she even got to do what she love, having her own farm
@seaurchin4451 agreed, acknowledging that her Mom is amazing, takes nothing away from Brett.
She calls her mother 'Diane'.
I was 21 when I got married, & my wife was 20. When we had our 1st born, I was 22, & she was 21. We were married 47¾ years before she passed after a long illness. I'm 71 now with a 28 year old grandson who is getting married next week & a married 24 year old granddaughter. If my body holds out, I will have a relationship with my great-grandchildren. I enjoyed my 20's as a college student & a soldier. I retired from the Army in my mid-40's, & stopped carrying a badge when I finally retired for the last time in 2018.
Sorry for running on, but getting married young is not a bad thing.
My granddaughter has made it clear that I can't date anyone younger than she is, so I'll just admire Brett from afar.😂😂😂😂😂
@@Whocareslol420why does he have to? It has nothing to do with what he said.
@@ElmCreekSmithwell that would be super creepy
100% agree on the getting married young. My wife and I moved in together at 19. Got married at 21, she was 20. Had our son at 24. Only had the one kid. Still married to this day, just passed 35 years. Retired 2 years ago and now just work part time to stay active and get a discount as I remodel our newest home.
you are not only a hero, but a flat-out inspiration! what a life sir!
Damn as someone who has a brother and dad with schizophrenia, I know how fkn rough it can be on the fam. Brett is incredible. She’s been through a lot but has overcome all obstacles in life, and it shows in her character. Much respect🙏🏽
That's rough man.

Deliverance and salvation through Jesus Christ and before people start attacking me…I know this for certain. No diagnosed schizophrenic ever gets cured by psychiatrists.
My husband and i got married at 21 and 20. Got our degrees, moved, bought a house, and had our daughter at 24 and 23. We're working on the things we dreamed of. Kids might make the journey slower, but not impossible. Our daughter has brought us more joy than anything else and instantly made our lives better.
@@AliB333 you ain't alone Brother. My sentiments exactly
Well good for you because literally everyone I know from high school that had kids by or before 21-22 are all single mothers, broke, or back and forth with a very unstable relationship and no direction in life. Just bitter with bad kids 😂 IF I ever have kids it’ll be with the right girl when I’m financially stable enough to raise them, no accidents. People say it happens but honestly it doesn’t have to and I’ve had enough random hookups to at least argue it’s possible without being careless and getting the girl pregnant. My roommate who had his ex leave him after buying a house for her and her child that they got a test for and found out wasn’t his is now in the process of getting back with her because she got pregnant from a one night stand drunk (child was probably with Gma, typical) and when they talked about it and having a test again she said he probably won’t need to because well it’s probably going to come out dark skinned and he’s white 😂 but his dumbass is fully ready to let her pretend that dude didn’t happen and raise 2 kids that aren’t his. I don’t see why he loves this ugly ratchet ass hoe but things like this and the way these girls are nowadays makes kids scary to me. Btw I’m not racist, it’s not that she admitted the kid is likely black it’s the fact she’s completely stupid and irresponsible and now gets to duck all accountability by running back to him and he’s bout to let her 😂😂😂
@@twiggydaloc1497 well I understand the fear of fathering a child in this type of world. I would love a 2 parent household with someone I trust, but I dont see that happening. My priority is becoming the best version of myself.
The dating scene today is very scary. People are absolutely nuts and/or narcissistic. I feel sorry for people, including myself, who have to go out there and try to find a mate good enough to marry and have children with bc you're most likely not going to find that person unless you get desperate, lower your standards, and lie your way to the altar.
Bullshit. Having that kid was a mistake and you hate your life. You can lie to us, but you can't lie to yourself.
I am 72 years old and my story mirrors Brett's mom's story. The more I listened the more emotional I became. I just would like to comment on how grateful I am to hear the three of you discuss the REAL world and how it is in real time. Many of the things Brett shared about mental illness and drugs I have felt for years and years. I have four children, and all are mentally ill. The lack of real care has been unbelievable and heartbreaking. Not to mention how scorned those of us who advocate for our loved ones, by ignorant people who actually BLAME the parent. My prayer is for young people like you three can succeed in making a difference in this area and get real help for these beautiful, talented, intelligent broken people to get the help they truly need. God knows those who love them have deeply been ignored and in fact, actually pushed against our voice. Thank you so much.

I like how Brett basically did this episode herself. Just nonstop talking, lol and telling stories almost unprompted.
Much credit to the interviewers too. They were very good at asking 'the right' questions as Brett told her stories and it just allowed it to be a great interview
@@rodchung173”much credit” 💀
She talks so fast they could barely get a word in. It was totally fine though, she is so articulate and interesting, really worked.
😂 I didn't know this isn't a normal thing my brain literally goes stories over stories and as soon as I get to one point I got a story for it. 😂
I don't. I can't listen to her for more than 3 minutes without getting a headache.
Graham and Jack make such a good team. I feel like they have really good synergy and a good cadence and I also love that they agree on some things but disagree on other things bringing a lot of perspective to the table. Very balanced feeling, and really great episode. This felt like 3 old friends hanging out.
Exactly my thoughts. This was a fantastic conversation
Her mom is the GOAT, what a wonderful woman to support her kid like that
25:00 let kids learn their lessons
1:34:00 homeschool creates parental freedom
1:36:00 kids are your besties
1:38:00 intentionality around kids
1:42:40 money behind intentional parenting
Unfortunately some of these lessons were leaned after she lost a child. She probably had a massive switch because her son never got to do and be due to her strict parenting before.
She kicked her brother out of the house while he was struggling with mental health issues and allowed him to be homeless wym the Greatest mom that’s fucking awful

As a teenage girl, Brett is someone I look up to a lot. It’s getting harder and harder to share your opinions in 2023. I thought it was really brave for Brett to say that she wasn’t crazy about joe Biden. If I would’ve said something like that to my friends, they would not want to be friends with me anymore. I think Brett is a wonderful young woman. This episode is probably a starting point for me to share my own opinions for a change instead of ones I feel scared into believing. Thank you!
Don't worry, it's just teenagers and young 20 somethings who are insane like that. I'm in my late 20s and a liberal and none of my friends like the Democratic party at all. Everyone knows Joe Biden is insane. But the thing is so is the republican party. Equally so. The thing about the Democratic party is they lie and act as if they are different, but they are just like the Republicans.
WHAT…you look up to Brett, you’re gonna regret that.
Your friends are freaks. Even leftists don't actually like Joe Biden lol
Go for it @oliviaharding4669 You'll probably find there's more with your opinion than you ever imagined.
go for it
Great interview... we home schooled our 2 boys - one has PhD in Mechanical ENg now, one has a Masters in Mech Eng at a national lab. They have lots of friends and active in their churches, both married ... we are so glad we took that path. I agree w Brett's push back.
Our kids had to interact w kids of all ages and adults - not just kids their exact age as is done in public schools. We had our kids in dozens of extra curricular activities over the years ... So much for socialization.
You can tell she just loves learning. She accepts when shes wrong, learns from it and keeps going. Very intelligent. 100% agree with homeschooling. I will be homeschooling my kids.
...until you have kids, and then you realize why 99% of parents DON'T homeschool
@@ShimonFrankel can you explain further? I am curious.
@@kiara4345 they have nothing but emotional arguments and probably had bad parents or know bad parents with tumblr kids
@ShimonFrankel nope. Not changing my mind. Me and my husband have discussed this and we are changing our way of living now so we can homeschooling later. We don't have kids yet, but we ate working on our life now so we can do that for our kids.
@@jalynneepp7080 your kids are going to be rtarded
As a fellow predominantly homeschooled female who also lost a brother at a young age, and had it completely alter my family dynamic as well as how I interacted with the world at large, its so incredible to see how God turned those experiences for good in both our lives. May God be with you Brett. From one passionate Conservative woman to another.
Our 7 were homeschooled, and I agree with Brett. Most homeschoolers we knew were not isolationists nor "unschoolers", so our kids grew up relating comfortably to all ages. They did farm work, volunteer work and nursing home work in high school. Homeschooling parents taught group specialty classes, such as welding, cheese making, animal husbandry etc. Our kids met highest scores (99-100%) for HSED, and scored in higest ranks for college/tech school - 2 are engineers, 1 was admitted into nursing school on her homeschool curriculum, draftsman/cabinet maker, accountant, business owners. Not saying this with the purpose of boasting, but to say that - in reality - and with intentional time investment - it CAN be done!
that's incredible and something I wish to do with my own family ❤
@@CJH_Taylor I had always seen these home school mom cheerleaders who rant and rave about it being the best thing ever, and thought: there's o way it's all that great. Now I'm a homeschool mom, after learning my son has special learning needs that would not be met in standard classrooms, and I'm one of those cheerleader moms! I am closer to my homeschooled child, am able to meet his learning needs without him thinkin he is stupid, etc. If you are able, and if the kids are of the right temperment for it, I encourage you to go for it. Its so scary to start, but once you start you realize there is nothing to be afraid of. It really is an amazing opportunity!
This is so encouraging as someone who is about to start her own family and I know I want to homeschool but there’s some fear there. Thank you! ❤
absolutely can be done, just blows my mind when people say the kids aren't socialized enough with home schooling. Like, hello? Ever hear of girl scouts? Karate class? Summer camp? In a classroom you sit there silent all day and potentially get bullied
@@moonasha Those who try to make that a case against regular schools are the ones that claim public schools do a good job
This episode really opens your eyes to how human Brett is. Such a great example of an amazing intellectual person. I look forward to more content from Brett
What 💀 anyways i wish her dad aborted her
Brett is awesome. I even managed to make my leftist ex like her, and actually calmed down on some of her more annoying opinions because of how articulate Brett is.
I'm impressed by how certain she is about her beliefs, values, aspirations, and ambitions, when most people her age still haven't figured out what their ideal profession would be
Yes she is.
She said that she was a Michael Knowles fan lmao. Such an intellectual!
If only she practiced that intelligence with critical thinking of her political positions because the conservative landscape is that of anecdotal evidence and anti science
Graham, I gotta say, amazing job mediating Brett and Jack's 1st Date! Great video sir!
But also, who is "Banana Banana, Banana?"
No betts my gf Stop!
I did feel like that
I felt that too! They're so great together!
I ship it.🤷♂️
As a brother of a schizophrenic who died tragically, and likey his schizophrenia was connected to drug use, I hold out hope for her brother as well. In part because I hope I will someday get adapted to the loss that still hurts, and part because after my brother I will always hold out blind hope for healing of those people trapped in our overwhelmed by their own mind.
Brett, thank you so much for speaking about mental health. I’m more on the conservative side but I get so frustrated with conservatives that pretend mental illness doesn’t exist. So many of our country’s problem stem from mental illness and I wish conservatives would help come up with real solutions
Well I think conservatives talk about mental health more than you think
Mental illness very much exists and many suffer with it. I've leaned right politically for many years, consider myself conservative, and I've suffered with several anxiety disorders: diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder, and undiagnosed very likely Emetophobia and Hypochondria. Mental illness and anxiety doesn't run in my family, but I believe my lifelong deep anxiety issues stem from my very early premature birth, born at 25 weeks. Conservatives are pro-life after all, I was born very early, have deep anxiety issues because of my birth, so I'd hope conservatives would care about babies long after birth as well as care about the mentally ill and those who struggle with it. But I know many do. I myself care about preemie babies long after their birth, their physical and mental health, and care about those who suffer with mental illness.
Yeah I have always been a conservative and I feel like we support and talk about mental health! I think what liberals see as “let’s not just blame all our problems on mental health” as is somehow denying it but the fact is almost every person in the world struggles with something mentally whether themselves or a family member. We to support each other but we can’t just use it as an excuse for being lazy, or rude to others. That’s what I feel like liberals tend to do. Not trying to say this accusingly because I’m not saying all liberals do that. But most of my liberal friends like to say “oh sorry I insulted you it’s just because my “insert mental health issue”. But they don’t consider that everyone else also has those problems and somehow survives without tearing others down or wasting all their time on the couch complaining about other people.
I wish both sides could come together with some solutions it’s really a bipartisan issue..
@@J.Cashhhh This is it. Thank you
i was not expecting a three hour episode. hope to see more of these longer podcasts
Of course!

@@the80h unexpected LTT reference. They still haven't had anything hit 4 hours yet though. So this is still child's play
Going to the gym to listen to this. Loveong podcasts. Especially with my favorite girl Brett Cooper.
It's so nice sitting in to discussions like this where it's legit a healthy, productive, and respectful exhanging of ideas on many subjects that easily amd normally lead to fights. It's so refreshing. I have a short attention span but I really enjoyed this 3 hour video.
I love that Jack is excited to be a dad. So wholesome. Graham getting defensive was hilarious 🤣
It’s kinda crazy that he refuses to be friends with people who don’t want kids though
That was the funniest part😭
@@Han.ban11 why? I think it's good. Especially if they female and around his wife
@@cameronbell415 why do I think it’s crazy ? I just think it’s a little extreme to pick whom you are friends with based off that. I get it from the standpoint of wanting to surround yourself with like minded people with good morals - but having a child doesn’t make you more moral. I personally don’t want kids - but I do play with my friends kids and I am always the first to offer to baby sit their kid if they want to go on a date night or something. I regularly hangout with my friends and their children.
@@Han.ban11 I agree; I'd assume the 'not wanting kids' criteria was usually surrounded by a vastly different lifestyle/perspective (i.e. "I hate kids, I'd never be able to go out late, etc.). Obviously, not everyone, but most people I talk to who don't want kids are the latter rather than the former mindset (like yourself)
29 year old here!Homeschooled, graduated with a masters degree at 23, was a professional bowler for 5 years, and was the youngest bowling center proprietor at 23, and I definitely contribute all of this to my parents homeschooling me and teaching me. I feel like I almost had the same experience as Brett and honestly I would never change how I grew up. I would be done with my whole year of school work in 2 months and I would be traveling the country bowling and making a name for myself. My parents did anything and everything they could do to get me out there and be an athlete and show that not all homeschoolers are socially awkward. I loved the freedom I had being homeschooled and was able to interact with all people, young and old. Made it though the shutdowns in California with my bowling center and we are busier than ever and a lot of people in my community come in daily because my center is still family own and my family all work together to make it better for everyone! Definitely an awesome interview you guys had with Brett and I love how she expressed how much she loved her childhood and how she wouldn’t change a thing!
That's amazing! Homeschooling is underrated and I understand a lot of people can't manage it, but cheers to those that can do it. Cheers to your success and future!
Brett is a ball of fire. A force of undetermined and unmeasurable energy that is unstoppable and undeniable. Her incredible rise to prominence while engaging what seems like endless timed opportunity seems almost unfathomable to me, and I can barely comprehend nor process it. These are the moments, where it feels to me like some lives are predetermined. Yes it takes hard work, but it seems they will arrive at the path, no matter what obstacles stand in their way.
Simp
Sounds like ChatGPT.
As a parent, you cannot be your kids' "best friend". Brett is correct: Parental love is all about launching them to be independent one day. (I have found that being a parent helps you to understand God's unconditional love for us.) It is important to observe each of your children's personality and help each to develop their talents and protect their soul.
I would love it if Brett's mom wrote a parenting book. Her parenting style sounds awesome & I would really love to know more.
She said it herself her mom just thought if she had known her son would old have 17 years would she have said yes to this decision I would believe the rest just comes from a strong moral frame work and dedicating your life to raising a child the right way
she really is as perfect a human as you can get

Yes me too❤
Homeschooling family here, doing it on one blue collar income. I see so many comments here saying that you can only do this if you come from money, or if you have money, but that's absolutely not true. Homeschooling on one income takes an immense amount of sacrifice and the brutal truth of the matter is is that most people are not willing to do this type of sacrifice. It means only driving used paid off cars, living far below your means, not going to restaurants and not taking expensive vacations, not keeping up with the Joneses. No subscription services, picking up extra gig work on some nights/weekends. Don't tell me you can't homeschool on one income, I know you can because we're doing it. It's all a matter of whether or not it's a priority and how high of a priority it is. Do you want to pull your kids out of the public school indoctrination camp enough to downsize your square footage significantly? Sell a car and become a one car only family? Live so radically different than the culture around you so that your family is radically different than the culture around you?
Let me encourage you, its hard and its completely worth it. Keep your kids.
Great episode

I'm a 50 year old woman and I love Brett's personality and perspective on the world. I listen to her show daily. It was fascinating to hear her entire story as I've been so curious about the bits she's revealed on her show. I've never watched this podcast before but the guys were great. I appreciate that they just let her talk and asked very thoughtful questions when they did interject. I can't wait to see what else she'll do in her life, she's an amazing woman.
You may want to get a life
Her whole life trajectory was changed by the death of her brother that impacted her mother to let her live life to the fullest. She’s the embodiment of growing up, going forward, being encouraged to become…! Contrary to most of us, who go to school and are broken by the word a thousand times over and over, sometimes by our own families. If all parents were investing all their energy on their kid, being an exemple and actually spending time with us… we wouldn’t be so broken at 12, 15, 18 years old!
I couldn’t imagine Brett self harming at 13 like me. Or being passed out drunk at 17 years old.
She received an incredible amount of grace by God by being protected more than the average child in this world. Life did not break her down and that’s how she became the woman she is.
Onwards and upwards. 🤙
Passion, and the high energy are the two biggest similarities between Brett and Ben’s success.
That fast firing brain doesn’t hurt at all.
I’m a voice over guy since 1970s and I lost that first firing mouth and had to step back to commercial platforms that were as far away from life as one can get.
Love Ben and Brett.
Brett Cooper is hands down one of the best podcasters. Even at her age she is light years ahead of 90% and it’s been a great experience to see her grow and evolve in the atmosphere she basically controls. She proves Women can be just as dominant as BenShap while being able to get an entire new audience that’s much younger and looking for guidance. Absolutely amazing
This low-key felt like a date between Brett and Jack LOL. This episode was really awesome. I have never watched this show before but it came up on my recommended because Brett is here but I honestly really enjoyed watching this. I think i will subscribe. Always a good time with Brett honestly, but you guys made it better.
I thought it was just me 😂 is Brett single 😂
Yeees! Is he single?👀
Same here about this show. Never heard of it or seen it, but popped up on my feed because of Brett, and I just watched the entire 3+ hour exchange. And I was here for it. This was the best interview of Brett I've seen, I've always wanted to hear more from her, but all the other interviews are like 19 minutes or less.
BTW, which one is Jack? Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to the beginning, anyway, I was thinking she and the guy in the black would make a great couple (if he's conservative enough).
Which is jack?

30:53 I’m glad Brett said that. Everyone is struggling with something. Whether they’re homeless, or getting bullied, or grieving over the loss of a loved one.
We need to give jack the credit he deserves for how good he’s gotten on this show
I agree
facts
Having a young daughter, I hope she grows up to be someone as level-headed, well rounded, and morally rooted as Brett. What an incredible woman!
Same! I hope my daughter grows up like this as well. Brett is a great person to look up to.
same!
Your role there is to lead as an example :)
I sincerely fear for your child if that is your legitimate hope. Even if Brett wasn't a complete grifter, that would still be a shockingly low bar.
Lead by example my friend 🫶🏼
I'm sad that these homeschool stigmas still exist. I had hoped that after so many families pulled their kids out during the Covid nonsense, people would realize home schooled kids are pretty normal. Research shows they do have higher grades, less drug/alcohol issues, stronger family bonds, etc.
My husband and I both grew up homeschooled on opposite sides of the US and people who find out almost always say “Oh wow but your so normal/ so socially literate” and it always makes me kinda roll my eyes because I had friends in public school and I had about 3 times as many friends as them because my parents cared more about experiencing different aspects of life than just sitting in the same chair all day. I went to school for two years and made 1 new friend whom did not last after I was gone from school. During those two years at “regular school”‘I developed anxiety and depression. Never had any issues previously… I think people are just told that public or private school is the only way to socialize kids but in reality it’s the worst type of socialization. Kids are mean when they don’t spend enough time with their families/ don’t have enough outside world experience.
100%
Jack is adorable with how enthusiastic he is, especially when it comes to having kids. He seems like the right person for that kind of job. I will say this though...you can't expect ANYTHING from your kids. They are born who they're meant to be, and that means that no matter how hard you try sometimes, your kids will fight against you. You say "X", they say "Z." You won't always feel that "special" bond. Some of them may have developmental delays. It's a very challenging job, exhausting job, and a job you can never quit from if you have a conscience.
So true! It's a nice thought but you can only try your best and hope the outcome is good! The rest is out of our control.
She’s honestly amazing. Super smart girl and supportive. She just thinks the dramatic gen is getting out of control and she’s right.
I'm so mind blown that I actually watched this full 3 hours video, it's something I've never done. I don't even watch Netflix. You 3 are so entertaining and the discussions and flow of your conversations is Incredible. Well done! You've earned a new subscriber! 😊
Listen to more pods! They're the best.
Really appreciate my home schooled upbringing and continue to do so with my children.
Legitimately asking, how do you go about home schooling? I’ve wanted to get a good grasp on how it’s done before I have children, so I can have a legitimate talk about doing it. I’ve met and seen a lot of people who were home schooled, and it doesn’t feel like they missed out on much aside from the forced human interaction every single weekday for the majority of their childhood. Not saying they weren’t allowed any, or didn’t get any. Just saying that was one of the biggest things I see being more “left out” moreso than just different. It’s really interesting to me, but I have no clue how to go about it. How would one start? What do you need? What’s the financial investment look like? I have a good grasp on the time commitment. It’s kinda self explanatory. Who would you talk to?
Same it's the best way to school your kids ❤
I have mixed feelings about being homeschooled. I'm an only child. We moved when itnwas time for high school and I went to a public HS. My social skills...were and still are... HORRIBLE. But in today's society.. it may be worth the risk.
@@Aromatic.Bleach no offense to you- but that isn't bc you were home schooled, but bc you were schooled by unprepared parents who didn't bother to make sure you developed socially correctly. That also happens to countless children, (including me, so only trying to speak from experience) in public, private, & home school all the time.. It's not up to teachers to show you how to be a person- but most parents rely on that as the only way their child learns socialization- creating a huge divide in the skills we think adults should have and what we are actually helping children understand before they enter the world. But mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, right?

I’m a college professor and recently decided to homeschool our sons. It’s been amazing! And our social calendar is fuller now than when traditionally schooled 🤣🤣
I'm a "weirdo mom" who is homeschooling my kids since Covid. I'm so glad I was forced into this. My academically advanced child can personalize her education so much more, and my children who struggle with academics gets a personalized education that will best prepare them for their future. My kids teachers at public school were great, but I have 0 doubt in my mind that my kids are getting a better education at home, because I can completely customize it for each of them. I hope more homeschooled people like Brett will keep talking about how beneficial homeschooling can be. (PS, also personally homeschooled from 1st-11th grade myself)
I went to public school and use free homeschool curriculum to teach myself the stuff I didn’t learn in public lol. It really is so much better.
If you see this, here’s my question. I have a toddler and a baby on the way so we’re not to school age yet but I am really hoping to be able to homeschool. Is there a certain lesson plan you use or do you hire tutors or anything? I’m genuinely curious because most people I’ve asked have kind of put me down for even wanting to homeschool rather than offering any helpful information. I am aware there are co-ops in my area but if you have any general advice or good resources I’d love to know!
It would be a good idea to get in contact with the leaders of the co op because they can probably point you in a more specific directions. Rainbow resources is a good source to get books and curriculum from..Co-op leaders might be able to give you specifics about state requirements as well.Every state is different.
Can't wait for the spicy discussion with Hasan, specially when you are a real state investor, and he is pro socialized housing person.
It’s a good one!
Hasan bought a multi-million dollar home in California. Like most "socialists" the rules apply to everyone but themselves.
Hasan is pro socialized housing, yet owns a multi million dollar house himself. Typical liberal, no logic and constant contradiction
Don’t really care for Hassan on here. Brings no value talks nonsense and takes things out of context. Legit the same as h3. Everything out of context and create opinions on the first few words without knowing the facts on these topics.
Worst part of them is that they’re spreading misinformation
Well he owns a 3 million dollar mansion in a city with the worst homelessness in the usa 💀💀💀
What a clever, clever gal. Love how self aware she was and is. If you’re not being challenged at school it’s so important to speak up. Without embarrassing the teacher of course. Hand up, teacher here.
Birth control, did a lot of research before having my kids. I chose pills over natural because pills were so much more reliable. Didn’t want a surprise. S’pose it’s the control person in me. Fascinating dialogue! 👏👏
Good for you on the BC choice. I like Brett, but she spews a lot of misinformation when it comes to hormones and birth control. She has her own video about it and it's clear she doesn't have a clue how to read and analyze the research she quoting.
My mom is schizophrenic & I'm always nervous about mentioning that to people, so I appreciate how open Brett is about talking about her brother. Also it's cool that I can tell that Graham is probably a libertarian just like me.
Libertarian = Republicans that haven't figured out you need an adjudicator for the economic system to be functional. 😮
@@techsupport891 I would disagree. Libertarians believe that we should have the smallest government possible which doesn’t have much power and that decisions go to the citizens. Of course, there is a police system, and fire department, etc. But again, we would have an economic stability and with the rates of people opening small businesses and “being their own bosses,” we are able to balance the economy. This is just my stance. Feel free to show me what you mean. Also, there is a mix of liberal and conservative leaning Libertarians, which may invalidate your statement. I say this out of respect.
@girlscangame315 ben shapiro is libertarian, just one example I have tho
@@girlscangame315 unfortunately the libertarian party in the us is polluted with sovcits and pedos, which are basically just anarcho-libs with no economic views (they dont understand how it works); think back to the gary johnson debate where the moderator asked if he thinks driving licenses should exist, he said "id like to see some competency exhibited by people before they drive", people booed him and the guy next to him said "whats next, a license to make toast in your toaster?" this is literally how those people think.
republican libertarians are what most people think of when they think libertarians, which is just center right, and democratic libertarians are lean left since the farther left you go the more authoritarian you have to be.
@@girlscangame315I think what happens is a lot of people will just call themselves “Libertarian” without fully understanding the meaning. What they mean is that they are in the center or can’t decide what should or shouldn’t be legislated. In reality, the philosophy behind Libertarianism is distinct and those people still need to understand the fundamental roles of government, which do include protecting the right to life by the way. I think I agree with your explanation but I may not have a complete understanding. I don’t think I would call myself a Libertarian but do believe Republicans have done way too much to grow big government.
This world needs more people like, Brett. She has depth, insight, maturity, and vision. She has fire and the will to move the vision she has out into the world, and give it flesh. Thank you...this was a fantastic interview.
This world also needs the results of that DNA test !!
She did more than I did at age 10 before I did at age 30
Looking forward to see what she does with the rest of her career. Nice to see you two for the first time. Excellent episode.
WOW!!! Brett, your story is incredible!! You are so tough and such a hard worker!! I'm so impressed!! Fellow homeschoolers over here!! People need to hear more from successful, good people like yourself that homeschooled!! LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!
Been watching both of you guys separately for a long time. So excited for a cross over episode!
Awesome!
Having kids while I was young was one of the best decisions I made. It made me so much less self-centered than I was before, I was much more willing to ask people for parenting tips and I had tons of energy to keep up with them. I know a lot of people who are just becoming parents for the first time in their late 30s and 40s and they don't have energy and they think they know everything. Their kids are spoiled and are raised by nannies and the parents think the kids are fine.
You don't need to go out, party and "see the world" if you have kids in your 20s because you get see the world through their eyes.
Whether you agree with her politics or not, she is admittedly a very intelligent young woman. Great conversation and insightful into the person behind the persona. Hopefully we get to see more guests from both sides of the political aisle like this.
I have an issue with calling someone very intelligent when almost 100% of their content is trolling another party without once reacting to terrible things the other party does. We cant sit and pretend both parties don’t do terrible things and in turn, their voters.
@@j0j01192 well because you don’t see the right doing the things the left is doing. She puts out the facts even if you don’t believe the truth.
her advocating for palestinian genocide: "ah come on forget about that she is so inteligent"
@@j0j01192 She responds to both sides but when the left controls the bulk of social media it's hard to ignore what's shoved into your face. She is intelligent just like how hasan is intelligent, acknowledging someone's intelligence doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say. The bulk of the controversies right now are about the lgbt community and the racism that is in america, whether someone believes something that you disagree with doesn't make them any less of a person. she has her beliefs on certain things just like you do but to go and in a sense belittle her accomplishments because you might not agree shows the world we live in at the moment.

Really great conversation. And what a lot done in such a short life. 3 hrs went so quick. 👍🏾
This is the most engaged I have ever seen Jack. Awesome episode.
I'm a 19 yo girl and i hold similar beliefs to brett even though i disagree with her on certain areas and this made me realize how strong and exceptional Brett is. She went through so much and has dealt with so much pain but still managed to come out of it gracefully and actually live an amazing and successful life. I've loved her for a long time now but this interview truly made me look up to her and she somewhat became my role model now. Thanks for having her over and for being so respectful, this was awesome!
Im 18 and me and brett have extremely similar views. Hearing how much she did makes me want to better myself. Maybe I’ll go into politics one day. I’m a loudmouth with opinions.
@@ava4689 why not, if you feel like you can make a positive change then go for it!
Brett and I are the same age, she's 3 months younger than I actually, and I look up to her as well. She's so damn strong.
I was home, public, and private schooled, and my kids are homeschooled. It always cracks me up when people say homeschoolers are weird. It's like, have you hung around any kids lately? Public schools kids have almost no social skills, can't converse with adults, and are running around calling themselves all kinds of bizarre pronouns, while wearing tails.
Wow she's a much stronger person than I thought. She basically had to grow up much earlier than most other people. After all she's been through, I couldn't handle going through all of that myself at that young of an age.
I can definitely respect Brett for how she's upholding her values and communicating to her audience.
I loved this interview with Brett! She really is an amazing young woman.
As a teen, my only dream is to have a family and be a stay at home mom. And I am convinced that being a parent is the noblest thing you can do in your entire life and it's what a lot of us are designed to do.
This was such a fun listen. I came to this channel through shorts and eventually ended up watching the whole thing. Not a Brett Cooper fan but love how she believes in her ideas and articulates very well where she is coming from. I also enjoyed how honest the hosts were about their differing opinions and asked really good nuanced questions.
@nickxero2740I think he means he just doesn't watch her
If you’re not a fan you’re a hater
I listen while at work, so it took me a few days to get through this episode... but I LOVED IT. Fantastic conversation, love Brett even more than I already did. Also, really cool to find out she's originally from Chatt!
I need more long content of Brett, I love hearing her personal life stories that have lead to the person so many look up to now.
If I have a daughter I’d be so happy if she grew up like Brett. She’s a beautiful human being.
Be like her mom!
@@bananasmatter1321 I don't think that is good advice. Each kid needs adaptive parenting. On top of that Brett's mom made huge leaps to support her, but some families don't have the capacity to do that for all of their children. If a couple's children all want to move to different states to persue a career or education at a young age, they wouldn't be able to do all of it.
I want to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this interview. I've watched Brett for a long time but unfortunately I was not familiar with your channel - so you WON a new subscriber. 😂😂😂😂😂.
I enjoyed that you discussed many topics - some controversial or 'taboo' in my generation. But I found it EXTREMELY INTERESTING, it was informative on several topics.
Honestly there should be a Part II I think there are a lot of topics you could delve into and it would be another AMAZING SHOW.
This is awesome. Brett is a great guest! Really cool you guys aren’t afraid to have on someone conservative! You might be surprised how many of your watchers are
I dont think theyd be surprised. They talk about being financially responsible and working hard. There audience is atleast 75-80% republican/conservative I'd guess. It would be interesting to see a poll.
@@cheezeandcrackers Exactly. It would be a heavily conservative audience - people who advocate personal responsibility and hard work. I don't think there are many Marxists watching Graham.
@@cheezeandcrackers Ah yes, Republicans are known for their fiscal responsibility. Like when Trump ran up the deficit. My goodness, stop stereotyping. Political beliefs have nothing to do with whether someone is responsible or not.
Yeah, a lot of his subscribers are going to be more free-market oriented, and personal-responsibility minded than the average Joe.
😮
This is the best interview I’ve listened to in a very long time! Now if I could get my teens to check Brett out! Great job to your mom Brett. She raised a champion and you’ve taken that and have run with it! Keep going girl.
“What in life could be better than being a father?” I’m ashamed to say that that is not my attitude in being a father. Slowly I am trying to work on that. Good for this guy for having that attitude. Actually, GREAT for this guy!
This was awesome! I've been subscribed to brett now for awhile and i loved getting to hear more about her story and her heart with her content. Apprecisted you guys having her on and having some great discussion 😊
As a DW subscribe and Brett fan, I loved this interview. Especially liked hearing her story and what all she has been through in her 21 years. Said as a fellow 21 year old.
Mental health issues are very real my sister has struggled for 10 years. I watched a beautiful hardworking girl that got good grades, never got in trouble and went to college. She got married and had a child. All of sudden when she reached her late ‘s 20’s she literally walked away and said she did not want to be a mother or a wife. She packed her things and moved back in with our mother. The next day she left said she was going to get a job. A few hrs later returns to tell us she got a job as a stripper. She started abusing drugs that were introduced to her by the other dancers. She was later diagnosed with bipolar. disorder. She won’t take medication and has visited her son maybe 4 times in a decade. She now is addicted to meth and moved 4 hrs away with a man much older than her. It’s heart breaking to watch. She was given SSI but it’s only 1,000 a month and you can’t live on that much money. The government doesn’t require anyone to monitor her money. Despite being diagnosed disabled with mental illness.
She blows most of it on meth and cigarettes.
Moms are such unsung heroes when they really do it right, and Brett’s mom did it right.
This episode shows that Graham is actually a really compassionate person.
You haven’t noticed that through his other videos? He always gives the benefit of the doubt and tries not to judge people who seem like they can do better
Is he usually not
25:31 I was an immigrant in Canada from grade 6, arrived from Belarus, a former Soviet Union country. More than half of the kids in this school were immigrants from all over the world. Everyone was so weird in the eyes of everyone else that no one was weird. If I met a homeschooled kid, believe me, I wouldn't have known the difference. And I would not think of them as any more weird than any of the kids I knew in my school or in my neighborhood. What you're describing sounds to me like it was you and your schoolmates who were in their own bubble, not the homeschooled kids. It's funny how people, who have a different experience nevertheless size each other up in the exact same way and give each other the exact same tag.
The woke will call her entitled but really she was/is self-motivated and self-driven.
Once mom saw she needed to open up as a 5-year old at brother’s school, she was on her way! Bravo!
@Ralph_Beckman get with the times Ralph, woke changed meanings a couple years back
Not so much entitled. It's more a case of her having had a TON of connections from the very start. When you have great connections and everybody loves you, you can go very far very fast. Her defenders will jump up and say how she started off "just like everybody else" and that is completely false
@@montecarlo4294 She made most of her connections though. She kind of started off worse than most others, but she worked her way to her success. She had a broken home and major parental issues. Seems most of her success was directly due to her willingness to pursue things she was interested in. People act like she was given her success, but she clearly worked for it.
@@MrSirFluffy Ok it will do. However, I suggest that she get rid of that click pen
"The woke", ok bro
Jack and Brett need to go on a few dates to see if there is anything there. There interaction and values are extremely compatible so I really hope they give it a shot.
Brett Cooper's huge contribution to Daily Wire is not that she is the younger Gen Z host but that she is explicitly the only Daily Wire host NOT dogmatically political in shows and debate; Dr Kevin Leman wrote extensively that last born kids in families contribute individualism, humor, nuance, and diplomacy to society at large (Kevin and.myself are last borns; last borns hear that "you were an accident" quite often). We used to have many more shows in the recent past that were not so political and antagonistic than the overwhelming majority of shows currently in comedy, news, movies, television, and even documentaries. I see this political trend changing in the future as people at large will find politics in the current tribal sense will change towards much more nuance in daily life just like this excellent broadcast conversation.
Well said. I may disagree with Cooper as a leftist, but she’s one of the few right-wingers I’ve come to respect. It’s not often that people try to genuinely build bridges and acknowledge the human side in the “other side.”
As an older gen-x guy watching you guys, it gives me hope in the younger generation. It's nice to see a civil conversation on deep issues.
A civil conversation sure but there's been no challenge to any of the subject matter so far beyond surface level stuff.
Like no one batted an eye that she went and worked for pragaru? Or why Ayn Rand appealed to her?
@@Trekyhunter
Why would they challenge that, both very normal decisions.
@@coledibiase5971 working at right wing propaganda outlets isn't a normal decision. And PragarU especially is propaganda for children. 👀
@@Trekyhunters PraegerU and Rand supposed to be a real gotcha moment, a damning indictment or something? You can learn some great things from these two. It is possible to both disagree some and agree some with people, and find value. It bothers me in todays society that many people believe if you’re a conservative that means you agree with 100%, or visa versa with liberal. @tnghunter youre certainly free to express thoughts, I feel like you’re train of thinking is very divisive. Divisive first, and seeking for truth, second.
Just because Rand appeals to me too doesn’t mean I won’t make significant charitable contributions this year. I find her exploration on “value”, in the abstract, very interesting and worthy of analysis. And I’ve listened to DennisP speak, and what I’ve heard is pretty good (but I haven’t fully explored his entire body of work, I confess). I think he is genuinely trying to do good things.
As someone who has gone through a surgical miscarriage from a molar pregnancy, just because the surgery is very similar doesn’t mean it’s the same it hurts me the media does that
its the same medically 🤦♀️
From my 30 seconds of research a molar pregnancy is like a benign tumor instead of a normal pregnancy. Didn't see anything about teeth...
@@SnifferSock teeth 😂😂
Hugs I’m sorry you had to go through that
I'm sorry you had to go through that!! It makes me sad that I see doctors using women to make an absurd point by carrying something to the extreme. Like the ones that won't do a procedure for a still birth and tell the patient that they could be arrested due to the law.. 🙄 they know it's untrue and they are INTENTIONALLY doing it to make a political point. 🤷♀️ I know someone that JUST happened to. They had her convinced she could be prosecuted because her baby died in gestation 🤬 I told her to sue! It's ridiculous and needs to stop! I'd say the same for the other way around.
I was homeschooled until 8th grade and I honestly hated it. Im a very social person but I was also scared of everything, so I never jumped for opportunities. I had no friends and my mom wasn’t the best teacher. I fell in love with public school when I started going. I think it just depends on if the parent did it right. I love my mom but homeschool was not her strong point and I’m glad she gave me the option to go to school because I’m much happier now. ❤
I was homeschooled for a couple years and loved it. It may have to do with me being a hardcore introverted INTP.
Congrats for finding your pathway to the future.
Great ep, reminds me to never judge someone as we never know what they been through or going through and just be a decent human being, something we have lost sight of
Intelligent, attractive, and high moral standard. Great episode thanks for shedding light on people like her!
Conservative women are definitely prettier.
Attractive? Why do her looks matter to you? Shouldn't her character be what's important creep.
We need to donate to perform the genetic testing.
I don't it's a coincidence.
2:54:45 Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada WAS originally for only terminal or extreme cases. As a canadian who works in healthcare, I really saw the humanity in letting people who were in their last stages get to have one final piece of control over their lives and bodies. The new rules and additions to the legislation are ludicrous. The line in the sand being changed and erased is terrifying and really emphasizes that conservative "slippery slope"...
23 year old mom of 2 here! I absolutely love being a parent! I would choose it over having “freedom” in my 20s any day
Definitely would advocate for being married (which I am) and being completely financially independent
This is absolutely inspirational. Hearing how she matured and became professional at such a young age is very inspiring. I've been homebound for a year and a half, missing 3/4 of Junior High due to three surgeries ( 3 Pilonidal Cystectomies). I've matured a large amount, and think more like an adult than a 14-year-old girl. I've been wanting to join a historical society, and hearing about Brett just walking in and placing down her resume is definitely inspiring. Wow, it's amazing to hear Brett's coming-up story, it makes me want to do more. I also really enjoyed the dialogue from the guy in black. Absolutely entertaining and true. Everything he said about having children really resonated with me. Great video, I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to future videos from you guys!
Ok, so I am watching this video 3 months post-release after having just finished watching Ben Shapiro’s appearance on this show. Ben hit the nail on the head about something I think Brett and these two young men are still unaware of -he talked about how our habits and lifestyles become more and more ingrained in us so that we are no longer as malleable as what is needed for us to succeed at marriage. I agree with him that our society is waiting far too long to get married and start their families. When you are in your early and mid-twenties, you feel like you have your whole life ahead of you and you don’t realize how putting those things off changes you. I have seen with many loved ones just how problematic it can be to put off the entire idea of marriage and families. We have a society that states the only way to find fulfillment is through your career and that just isn’t accurate. In fact, the older I get (I am 40), the more I realize just how little the dream career I spent the first 3/4 of my life striving for truly matters and how much I wish I had prioritized preparing myself to be the best wife and mother I could be but I too bought into those lies about making my career my singular focus and aspiration.
I believe what's society lacks in general is self-awareness and consciousness (in the sense of being concious of your own desires and needs).
I'm not from the US or any "real" western country. Where I live the society would be considered "traditional" by many american conservatives. That's just the context.
Me and all of my friends are very different. I'm in my early 20s. I'm single and focus on ny career. My friend is two years younger than me and is getting married in December. Another one of my friends is an Orthodox Christian that comes from a not-really religious family. I'm an atheist. None of us are living our lives the way we do because "society" told us, but because we are aware enough of our own wants and needs at this point in our lives. Despite our major differences, we support each other. I'm extremely thrilled for my friend getting married and I frequently go to churches and religious sites with the other friend of mine.
Society will always "dictate" something, but it's our own responsibility to learn and know what we want from life.
This episode is phenomenal! I don’t even know Brett Cooper, but she is inspirational. Jack, she’s the one ❤
I was picking up on that too!😂
Ok glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that 😅 are they both single?
She's engaged!
We'll yall better subscribe to her! Haha. She's a gem. If only all young people were like her.
I really enjoyed this episode. I tecently discovered both of you from another channel, Unapologetic. As an older woman, i often felt alienated in ny beliefs that healthy debate is a peace bringer. I heard Brett sun it up so well, that understanding each other's experiences, why they believe, why they have certain feelings, allows us to respect each other's rights to those thoughts abd feelings. I've always found such discourse benefitial because the exchange of information alliws us to revisit our own stance and either we are reaffirmed in the strength of our stance, or, after reflection upon new information and insight, we revise our stance. Either way, it is a tremendous opportunity for growth. It renews my hooe for our country to see young people embracing the exchange of views as the means to common ground.
Amala is the same age as Brett. Also a very interesting background. I enjoy both young women.
“Politics is downstream from culture”. I love her deep interest in understanding human thinking and behavior.
Brett, I’m about 14 years older than you (millennial), I got married at 23, had my first kid at 26, I stay at home and homeschool my kids and I’ll tell you that YES it’s just as fulfilling and wonderful as you think it will be. No job, no travel, no adventure, NOTHING you could do can even begin to compare to the value and worthwhile ness of being a parent. You can travel and have a job or whatever later. And you’re totally right about the grandparent thing. My friend has generations of young parents and because of that, her kids got to know and remember their Great Great grandmother! How cool is that??
You're only saying this because you never had any other choice. Statistics prove it's better to travel early in life and have kids later in life...not only for yourself but for the well being of the children.
@@jamk2668Stop bro, you’re just wrong. The best route is to have kids at a young age, then once they’re out of the house you can go travel and explore the world after fulfilling your purpose as a parent. You’re guaranteed the ability to have a career/travel life after you have kids, but you’re NOT guaranteed kids after having a career/travel lifestyle.
