And by the way, I wouldn't focus on young men. I would focus just on young people because it'd become too politically charged. to start giving money to young men.

I feel like every major legislation, whether it's COVID relief or tax loopholes, is nothing but a transfer of wealth from young to old. And I think the data bears that out. So there needs to be legislative, economic change. And I think there needs to also be just a ground level, a change in the zeitgeist. In family court, all right, you're getting divorced.

You realize the boy is now very vulnerable. And we're going to have programs, and it's probably easier just to have programs that focus on the kids, but quite frankly, the boys are probably going to need more help. National service. You know, I would love to see, I was just in Israel, and I met with a battalion

120 kids, I say kids, 19-year-olds, with semi-automatic weapons, learning how to handle enormous responsibility, work in the agency of something bigger than themselves. They're fit, they're outside, they're meeting friends, mentors, co-founders, mates.

And if you look at Israel, despite the existential threats it faces being surrounded by enemies, it has some of the lowest levels of young adult oppression of any Western nation. But I think the real structural change probably has to come out in the form of tax policy, things like national service, what Richard was talking about, programs to get more men in schools, more third places.

I'd like to see, I mean, one of my pet peeves, remember the Presidential Fitness Awards? That was huge for me. I remember I had a growth spurt and they put numbers on them, one, two, three, and then I had a growth spurt and I couldn't do the pull-ups and I didn't get number four and I freaked out and I started doing pull-ups because we used to celebrate strength. And now it's seen as fat shaming.

You know, let's celebrate strength again. Let's get let's let's celebrate some of the things, you know, let's celebrate some of the things that more naturally come to men. And by the way, let's celebrate it for women as well. But we have done. I think these things need to be. on a legislative and a very structural change in our society to kind of, if you will, re-level up.

And I think the majority of those programs are focused on young people, not just focused on young men, but focused on young people. And the really good news here is I find when I talk about this, I'm a partisan. People know I'm a progressive or a moderate, whatever you want to, center left, whatever you want to call it. I find this is a bipartisan issue.
