Comedian and stand-up comic Amy Poehler joins Jemele to discuss her new book, The Red Pill and her advice to young women on how to deal with men who don t understand what it means to be a good husband.
00:00:01.000No, but I would be lying to you if I said it wasn't a component of it because white males in this country still largely determine a lot of national elections.
00:00:10.000And that's the most problematic group for the left.
00:00:14.000So replacing white males who are the most likely to be conservative with any demographic would be in their best interest.
00:00:24.000If you were to have Frank Luntz run a focus group, if you were a Democrat today and you're going to go, okay, what's my biggest problem here?
00:00:49.000I think, again, going through it logically, you would understand why.
00:00:52.000No, I don't think they necessarily go brown better than white, black better than white.
00:00:55.000I think they go anything better than white conservative males because that's what keeps us from achieving unfettered national power.
00:01:07.000And I won't act like that's not the case.
00:01:11.000And I wanted to go back to one thing, just so you don't misconstrue this at all, because people talk about the manosphere and red pill and stuff like that.
00:01:16.000And I know we've to the people out there who take this and at all go like, oh, okay, I know there are people in the red pill who say, yeah, go out and bang a lot of chicks so I can find out who a slut is.
00:01:25.000No, that is the opposite of what I am saying here.
00:01:28.000I still think you should seek the right things in a meaningful relationship.
00:01:32.000The reason that I'm directing this largely toward young women is because it's a problem that can only be corrected from you.
00:01:42.000And the men who are seeking something meaningful, you do need to, that if you don't want the guys who just bang a lot of bitches and red pill and hate women, then you need to know it's your duty to understand what it is that those men want and they're going to have different expectations.
00:02:12.000Men, hey, if it's a very wealthy, tall, successful man who's been married for 10 years and has never cheated, he kind of does deserve some credit because guess what?
00:03:10.000This is what I want to do with my life.
00:03:11.000And it requires pretty kind of a regimented schedule.
00:03:14.000But, you know, I like going out to dinner with a close friend or obviously if we're in a relationship and maybe going to the movies, maybe occasionally, you know, getting away.
00:03:23.000But I'm happy being at home and keeping my circle of friends pretty close.
00:03:28.000And when I'm not pursuing these professional endeavors, it's pretty important for me to rest.
00:03:33.000And so I'd like someone who also likes to kind of lay back and take it a little bit easy and understand those rhythms and margins of, you know, hitting the gas and hitting the breaks and recovery so we can build.
00:03:54.000I didn't, not because like, oh, no, it just, to me, is just, it's like what I picture hell being.
00:04:02.000It's like going in and pulsing and lights with people I don't know and I can't get to know them because it's nothing to me but a meat market.
00:04:11.000Like I like sitting, you know, the place that they're like, they would be considered old men place, a restaurant or a lounge where you can sit, maybe there's some, and you can talk and communicate.
00:04:20.000It's just, it's always, now I will tell you this, when I was boring, the exact opposite in my 30s.
00:04:28.000All of a sudden, every woman who was in their 30s didn't want to dance.
