The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 98 - Feminism Ruined Women (And Everything Else) ft. Faith Moore

00:00:00.000 There's a lot in the news today, and we are not going to talk about any of it, because who cares?

00:00:04.460 It's something about a memo, lying Democrats, same story, different day.

00:00:08.660 Instead, we will analyze feminism right down to its cold, frigid, bra-burning core 1.00

00:00:13.980 with PJ Media columnist and Disney princess enthusiast Faith Moore.

00:00:19.160 One question, which is the greater fiction, Snow White or feminism? 0.99

00:00:23.880 Then, the mailbag. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:30.000 I am so excited to get to this today.

00:00:36.580 We actually dug deep into the Daily Wire archives.

00:00:39.960 We found some incredible historical footage of what women were like before feminism

00:00:43.800 and then also, obviously, what women are like after feminism. 1.00

00:00:46.840 We have to talk about all of it.

00:00:48.700 We have a wonderful thinker and writer on the show today.

00:00:51.640 Before we get to any of that, though, we have to talk about shaving.

00:00:54.680 This is something, you know, maybe I'll read a book or I'll think about some important idea.

00:01:00.120 Once a week, once every seven weeks, something like that.

00:01:02.540 But I shave every single day.

00:01:04.220 So, you've heard me talk of the amazing shave I get from my Dollar Shave Club razor,

00:01:09.840 especially when I use it with their Dr. Carver Shave Butter.

00:01:13.380 Well, I am here to tell you that I'm never giving up my membership.

00:01:16.100 In fact, I'm adding even more DSC products to my daily routine.

00:01:21.120 Dollar Shave Club makes products for your hair, face, skin, shower, everything you need.

00:01:25.620 It is the best razor I've ever used and I actually buy nice razors.

00:01:29.700 This is so good.

00:01:31.140 They have me looking and feeling great.

00:01:32.940 It's all of their own original stuff.

00:01:34.440 They use only the finest premium ingredients and they deliver it to you.

00:01:38.060 So, it's just like with all of the razors.

00:01:40.920 They started out with razors and instead of having to go to the pharmacy and up and down the aisle

00:01:45.040 and then, you know, you go into that aisle that men aren't supposed to go into

00:01:47.940 and you feel very weird and creepy and you look around.

00:01:50.220 No one saw me and you get out of there.

00:01:51.440 You don't forget about any of that stuff.

00:01:53.480 You can be like a normal person in the 21st century and you can order this online.

00:02:02.480 It'll come right to your door.

00:02:03.520 It's very inexpensive.

00:02:04.860 There are no more annoying trips to the store.

00:02:06.640 I use Dollar Shave Club for almost everything.

00:02:09.080 Razors, body cleanser, hair gels.

00:02:11.540 They even have this new product, which, oh guys.

00:02:14.380 So, in Europe, you know, Europeans are very interested in being clean everywhere,

00:02:20.800 not just like we rugged Americans who are clean most places.

00:02:24.120 So, they have an invention called a bidet and it allows you to clean where the sun don't shine.

00:02:30.320 Well, in America, if you don't want to have a giant bidet installed in your house,

00:02:33.760 that's a very expensive sort of thing.

00:02:35.640 You probably have to go to the store for that and pick it out.

00:02:37.800 You can just use wipes for your derriere that come to you from Dollar Shave Club.

00:02:42.120 They're very effective.

00:02:43.180 So, I'm told.

00:02:44.760 Now, it is a great time to give Dollar Shave Club a try.

00:02:48.400 You can get your first month of their best razor and it's a really, really good razor

00:02:52.960 along with travel size versions of shaved butter, body cleanser,

00:02:56.360 and yes, even that derriere cleaner for just $5. 1.00

00:03:01.080 This is basically free.

00:03:02.700 If you have ever bought an even sort of nice razor,

00:03:05.640 if you even bought a bag of those terrible little disposable ones,

00:03:08.740 it's more than $5.

00:03:09.800 So, just get this.

00:03:10.680 It's basically free.

00:03:11.640 After that, replacement cartridge is shipped for just a few bucks a month.

00:03:31.740 Okay, excellent.

00:03:32.560 Now, we talk about history a lot on this show.

00:03:34.640 You know that.

00:03:35.860 So, consider this a mini This Day in History segment because the archivists at The Daily Wire have dug up incredible footage showing what women used to look like before feminism.

00:03:47.100 Let's see it.

00:03:47.700 Please don't run away.

00:03:50.880 I won't hurt you.

00:03:55.080 I'm awfully sorry.

00:03:57.060 I didn't mean to frighten you.

00:03:58.980 But you don't know what I've been through.

00:04:02.240 And all because I was afraid.

00:04:05.720 I'm so ashamed of the fuss I've made.

00:04:08.560 What do you do when things go wrong?

00:04:15.320 Oh, you sing a song.

00:04:17.620 Oh, oh.

00:04:25.620 Oh, oh.

00:04:31.620 Oh, oh.

00:04:32.620 Oh, oh.

00:04:37.620 Oh, oh.

00:04:39.080 Oh, oh.

00:04:48.280 Ah, chirp, chirp, chirp.

00:04:50.320 That was so nice.

00:04:51.420 That was like watching a cartoon, Sweet Little Elisa. 0.72

00:04:54.200 Sweet Little Elisa is very fair-skinned. 0.58

00:04:55.540 It was just like, what a, that was so beautiful.

00:04:57.680 Now, also, I'm sorry.

00:04:59.600 You gotta come out of it.

00:05:00.980 Now, let's take a look at what feminism has turned women into. 1.00

00:05:04.860 that is not what a fetus looks like okay it's a clip of cells at 12 weeks

00:05:11.340 it does not look like that it's a clip of cells no hands are shown through that time

00:05:17.760 it's just a white friend with racist male that doesn't stand for women's rights

00:05:22.120 and get that camera out of my face 0.99

00:05:27.380 i am the feminist who is out to ruin your life i am the feminist who is ruining your perfectly 1.00

00:05:38.980 respectful marriage by suggesting audrey lord to the book club that your wife attends and yes 0.60

00:05:46.360 i am the one who convinced her to get that shorter haircut that you pretend to like but don't really

00:05:52.380 like i am the feminist who is pushing your daughter down the slippery slope of sluthood 1.00

00:05:59.180 by giving her a high five when she says she keeps her own supply of condoms 0.99

00:06:03.980 and incidentally i tried to turn her bisexual gay by recommending some dental dam yes 0.96

00:06:11.600 that's progress there it is there's the progress everybody what an advancement how enlightened 0.92

00:06:19.640 now we are what wonderful things feminism has brought to the world we have to bring on now 0.99

00:06:24.840 faith more a wonderful writer about all things feminist and uh more importantly a disney princess 0.78

00:06:31.820 addict faith thank you for coming on hi thanks for having me it's great to be here so faith my first

00:06:37.180 question which is more of a fantasy disney or feminism feminism absolutely feminism yeah no feminism 1.00

00:06:45.480 is based on a lie it's based on the lie that men and women are the same that gender is a social contract

00:06:51.180 that's a lie disney tells the truth about women and what's so strange about it too is that is the central

00:06:56.880 lie men and women are the same they're indistinguishable and yet it's called feminism they always say well

00:07:02.440 it just means men and women they deserve the same rights or whatever but then why then why is it called

00:07:06.540 feminism it's that we have a philosophy for that which is called egalitarianism so it seems on the one hand

00:07:11.600 it says men and women are exactly the same and on the other hand women are this totally separate 0.99

00:07:16.620 uh categorical entity and we need to give them everything and let them yell at us and kick our

00:07:22.080 signs down well not only that it also ends up saying that men are actually better than women because if

00:07:29.220 you say that gender is a social construct and men and women are exactly the same but everything that

00:07:35.740 is feminine is because of the oppression of men so women have to act more like men that 1.00

00:07:41.420 means men are better than women everything within the category of woman is lesser and worse and 0.96

00:07:47.900 terrible right given that given and it's funny because given the premise if men and women really

00:07:52.840 are no different then there are no women right then there there isn't a categorical distinction 1.00

00:07:57.020 between men and women it's just it's just men and men with long hair who look nicer now faith you

00:08:03.720 love disney princesses you have a pretty big facebook page about this you write about this frequently

00:08:08.760 why do you love them so i love disney princesses well all girls love disney princesses i mean little

00:08:16.020 girls love disney princess that's the most controversial statement that has ever been uttered on my program

00:08:20.280 yeah i'm i'm here to to just really shake things up with my disney princess conversation no i mean

00:08:26.820 it doesn't matter how much feminists try to convince us that little girls don't love princesses they do 1.00

00:08:33.120 they love princesses and the thing about disney princesses is that they're actually a great um

00:08:39.100 they're great role models for modern girls because they're they're brave and passionate and outspoken

00:08:45.100 and they have goals and they follow their dreams and all these things but they do it without

00:08:49.540 compromising their femininity their kindness their nurturing nature they want love they want to start

00:08:56.120 family all of these things but somewhere along the line feminists got a hold of the narrative about 1.00

00:09:02.600 disney princesses and they did to the princesses what they do to women which is that because they act 1.00

00:09:09.020 like women they've decided that they're just these victim danzels in distress husband hunters and we 0.92

00:09:16.260 believe them so the the pub the general public sort of believes them so anyone who tells you that they

00:09:21.440 love disney princesses apologizes first they say like i know i know they're really i'm sorry it's

00:09:27.380 so not modern i'm sorry but i just really love them you know and and moms like they ban them from 1.00

00:09:32.680 their houses and they're not allowed to like their daughters aren't allowed to watch them and these 0.92

00:09:36.020 things but but really i think in our current culture in our current situation situation about

00:09:42.840 gender these are some really great stories for little girls to be looking at to figure out how to

00:09:48.060 become women and you make the point on damsels in distress that's that's how a lot of people think

00:09:52.580 of them that's how they're portrayed that they're just waiting for the man to come around but you say

00:09:56.660 they're not damsels in distress just like women before feminism weren't just helpless damsels in 1.00

00:10:01.400 distress what what do these people get wrong so i mean you just play that whole thing about snow white

00:10:08.840 and in fact in that clip that you played she says i'm so what does she say i'm so ashamed of the

00:10:16.300 fuss i've made and so when you think about that right this is a person who i mean in that scene

00:10:23.420 she's just been like someone threatened to kill her essentially and then she ran away and she can

00:10:28.700 never come home so that's bad and but she's so ashamed of the fuss that she's made right and the

00:10:34.860 next thing that she does is she goes to a house find that it would be a really good place to hide out

00:10:40.960 and decides to make a deal with the people who who live there she is going to cook and clean for them 1.00

00:10:46.100 because she knows how to do that and they'll let her stay so i mean if if feminists want her to be a 1.00

00:10:53.020 freeloader and just get the men in the house to take care of her then that would be fine i guess but 1.00

00:11:00.700 really what she does is she actually shows up with a plan that's right she's not just offering her body 0.96

00:11:06.300 or something she says i have these skills and i'm going to make a deal and and strike out on my own

00:11:10.460 and not have to become some fake man in order to do it right exactly and i think they're they're almost

00:11:19.100 all like that until you get to the princesses that are the more recent ones that are supposed to be 1.00

00:11:24.940 more modern and then you get these princesses who are sort of like infantilized and objectified 1.00

00:11:30.300 like in their own story except those are the finest ones because they write and that's the new fiction

00:11:38.120 that they're it's not that we're seeing this throughout all of these disney movies and more largely

00:11:44.360 throughout all of the folk tales and fables that come to us through the tradition it we're actually

00:11:49.480 this is a modern advancement that the women are oppressed that they're this is an ideological vision

00:11:54.940 that's being imposed even on these stories even on these disney stories how long until we see a

00:11:59.620 transgender disney princess oh it's it's coming it's probably in development right now yeah i think

00:12:06.900 so i mean we had the first boy princess um but it was it was in a cartoon on on television so i guess

00:12:13.480 it doesn't officially count but yeah i mean there was a boy who was dressing up as a girl in order to

00:12:18.200 do something or other and you know so he was sort of lauded as disney's first boy princess oh my gosh i

00:12:24.660 actually don't follow the you'll be shocked to hear this i don't follow disney very closely

00:12:29.260 i didn't so they're already testing into what will become inevitably the transgender disney princess 0.90

00:12:35.540 also known as the end of disney princesses right exactly yeah i mean i think that's probably that's

00:12:41.920 probably gonna happen i mean there's already call for elsa from frozen to be a lesbian since um you 1.00

00:12:47.460 know she didn't have a love interest and all of this stuff so i mean all of that all of that is coming

00:12:51.840 and i think you're just gonna lose the girls you know yeah you're right then but this is what this

00:12:57.620 is what happens in the culture generally they lose they insist on adding this ideological vision

00:13:02.600 and then they lose their audience because it's no longer entertaining it no longer corresponds to

00:13:07.660 reality as we know reality is we as we as we see ourselves and as we see other people in the world

00:13:14.580 and they lose all the audience but they still win all of the awards because it's so important man

00:13:18.840 isn't it so important and powerful right exactly you know and now we're essentially telling you know

00:13:25.820 my my least favorite disney movie of all disney princess movie of all time is brave and brave is a

00:13:33.720 story about not growing up because they can't they they can't have her find a husband they can't have

00:13:40.720 her you know have her life they basically she goes out on the whole quest that a disney princess 1.00

00:13:45.680 goes out on and then ends up right back home where she started and we have no idea what's

00:13:48.660 going to happen to her so that's that's essentially what's happening is they're infantilizing women 1.00

00:13:54.300 by making it so that they can't they can't leave home because there's nothing for them out there

00:14:01.240 that's right you know you know there there is peter pan but peter pan is a sad tale it's a sad thing 0.98

00:14:07.260 that peter can't grow up and doesn't move on with his life and i i think this is sort of a jerk 0.79

00:14:12.960 right exactly i think this is kind of a a rationalist this is what happens with ideology 0.95

00:14:19.800 is ideology forgets that we live in time and we live in space and so they say this is it this is

00:14:25.020 the frozen moment but i don't know i really liked college college was a lot of fun i don't wish that

00:14:30.100 i were still in college because that's in the past i like other you know i've it was fun to be a child

00:14:35.380 but i don't wish that i were still a child and they lose that and and the old conservatives i like to

00:14:41.640 think look at reality as it is and they understand that we live in time we live in a space and you

00:14:46.360 can't stay in never never land forever lefties tell us they tell us all the time that gender is a 0.95

00:14:51.320 social construct but i'm i'm looking at you faith you look very much like a lady you seem objectively

00:14:57.860 prettier than i am your voice is higher pitched than mine is is there evidence that gender is a social

00:15:03.780 construct no in fact i think there's evidence that it is not a social construct that it is inherent

00:15:11.580 in men to be men and women to be women and there are even there are studies that sort of you know

00:15:17.200 the most recent one i saw was about sort of toy preference and they kind of they've they weeded out

00:15:23.720 all of these things like you know whether the mom and dad were there and all of this stuff and it was

00:15:27.620 like the girls pick the girl toys the boy i mean no it's ridiculous you know i and i think that when

00:15:35.180 when you try to prove that that gender is a social construct you you end up just sort of talking

00:15:43.120 yourself in circles and when the feminists do it they end up talking themselves into um victimhood 1.00

00:15:49.400 essentially well of course they it always ironically something that's supposed to empower them ends up

00:15:54.500 making them like little children and i love that you brought up the scientific studies because i've seen

00:15:58.400 these two studies that show that regardless of socialization regardless of the awful patriarchal culture

00:16:04.760 boys want to play with boy toys and girls want to play with girl toys and then in fake studies 0.95

00:16:09.440 in like gender studies but one of my hobbies a few years ago a buddy of mine did and i we did we did

00:16:15.800 this on tumblr we created a blog called gender studies department that was all it was i think it's still

00:16:21.760 up there gender studies department hyphen blog.tumblr.com and we would just post quotes from actual peer

00:16:28.800 reviewed published gender studies papers that absolutely meant nothing they were just random words

00:16:34.100 so one quote says and this is by this might be the most rational quote of all of them it says

00:16:40.100 at the root of eco-feminism is the understanding that the many systems of oppression are mutually

00:16:47.600 reinforcing building on the socialist feminist insight that racism classism and sexism or interconnected

00:16:53.580 eco-feminists whatever that is recognized additional similarities between those forms of human 1.00

00:16:59.340 oppression and the oppressive structures of speciesism and naturism and ism ism ism ism ism i notice all of

00:17:07.240 these other lefty ideas socialism environmentalism they keep creeping into discussions about feminism

00:17:13.000 can there be a conservative feminism i sometimes hear some of my conservative or my

00:17:18.460 conservative ish female friends say things like you know a woman with a gun that yeah with a gun that's 1.00

00:17:25.460 real feminism or a woman ceo raising children and going to work every day that's feminism or whatever 1.00

00:17:31.500 they say is there a conservative feminism or are isms and ideologies like feminism just un incompatible

00:17:40.200 with uh with conservative thought well i think that at at the heart of feminism or i guess at the 0.98

00:17:48.480 beginning of feminism i think it began with a notion that we can all agree with which is that men and

00:17:56.120 women are equally valuable to society that that you need men and women and that you know women should be 0.99

00:18:03.880 allowed to do the same kinds of things as men if they want to do them and i think and so i think that

00:18:09.620 if that were still true about feminism then maybe we could get behind it more than than we can now but 1.00

00:18:19.080 that that isn't actually what the feminists now are saying you know they're not they're not saying it that 1.00

00:18:25.740 men and women are equally valuable to society they're saying that they're the same and that certain

00:18:31.540 traits be they male or female are positive or negative i mean the thing is men have inherently

00:18:39.060 male traits and women have inherently female traits and there's no moral judgment about that it just 0.94

00:18:44.860 is so when you start to put moral judgment on the inherent traits that's when you get lost and i think

00:18:53.020 that feminism has gotten lost so i don't i don't know what the word would be for someone who thinks 1.00

00:18:58.740 rationally um but christian you know so christian i think is yeah i guess there are some other

00:19:04.620 versions too rational people and yeah i don't know that you know that's absolutely right there's a

00:19:09.320 the complementarity of the sexes poses equal value in christianity uh and and judaism uh the eve is

00:19:18.460 plucked out of adam's rib not out of his head she's not higher than adam not out of his foot she's not

00:19:23.540 lower than adam right out of his rib in the beginning god created man both male and female he created

00:19:28.580 them they have equal dignity but they're clearly not the same i hope they're not the same uh the blogger

00:19:34.080 speaking speaking of the complementarity of the sexes we're going to get a little saucy here the

00:19:38.300 blogger samara over at scary mommy wrote a piece called sometimes i want to be held by a man naked

00:19:45.420 without having sex is that okay the answer is no by the way uh she says that women need intimacy in 1.00

00:19:50.860 their lives and therefore they should be able to expect it from randos that they hook up with

00:19:54.180 what is wrong with that can't women have it all um no actually women can't have it all even when 0.99

00:20:00.400 they say when they're referring to the other thing which is like working and raising kids they 0.92

00:20:05.540 can't have it all in that area either but um no that is a ridiculous request because and the reason

00:20:12.740 it's a ridiculous request is because you don't actually know that person and therefore you can't

00:20:17.580 have intimacy with him you can have an intimate act but you can't have intimacy get intimate as in

00:20:24.600 like get it on as in like you know whatever you want to call that but you can't have intimacy with

00:20:30.780 that person because you just met them like an hour ago and you know now you're upstairs in their

00:20:36.720 apartment naked and and i think you know like if if you get naked in front of someone that you just

00:20:42.880 met um i think you're basically sending the message that you would like to have sex you're not

00:20:48.960 really sending the message that you'd like to just kind of lie there and i don't even that's always the

00:20:52.860 message i'm trying to send i don't know if people are misinterpreting what i'm that's the message you

00:20:57.200 know one time i went on a date with aziz ansari and he and i he and i just had well i'll save it for

00:21:02.600 another time but we just had very different views of what was happening you know well if you'd like to

00:21:07.020 tell me i can publish it and i'll keep your name anonymous good give it anonymous i i hope not a lot

00:21:12.720 of people watch the show so i don't think it'll really get out you know uh yes that is that is so right

00:21:17.600 there there is because you you wrote beautifully on this topic about how women do long for these

00:21:23.780 things in a way that men don't i'll i don't want to tell any tales out of school here folks but it

00:21:28.420 turns out that men are more comfortable with casual sex and desire it more than women do broadly

00:21:33.740 speaking um now you think that me too speaking of is awful me too uh some center-right writers have 0.77

00:21:41.880 jumped on board though they say yes these awful men they've harassed me too uh what is wrong with

00:21:47.440 this slacktivist hashtag du jour um yeah me too has sort of devolved into this i mean it's something

00:21:55.660 really interesting i think is happening about me too which is that you know initially it it arose i

00:22:01.960 guess because of all of the really horrible things that were going on like harvey weinstein and all of

00:22:06.420 those other people and and people were saying you know i was really really truly violated and but it

00:22:11.480 was very it very quickly devolved into um yes you know me too because somebody cat called me on the

00:22:19.760 street or you know me too because i saw a man one time or me too just because of the way michael

00:22:24.620 knows looks he's just kind of laying out an italian you got a gold chain it's doesn't i don't feel safe

00:22:30.160 like that guy on the subway looked like he was going to ask for my number and didn't me too um so

00:22:35.520 you know it's kind of that really delegitimizes the victims of actual sexual crimes right like

00:22:45.540 lumping all of those things together is really a terrible thing to do to people that have actually

00:22:51.180 experienced something horrific but especially these days there's great currency in victimhood

00:22:57.160 this whole my mother washed more floors for less money thing and so you see uh rape hoaxes you see

00:23:03.240 a spike in rape hoaxes on campus both before college and and obviously on college campuses

00:23:08.820 we've had major the the vast majority if not all of the major headline grabbing rape cases at

00:23:16.180 universities in the last five years have have come out to be hoaxes beginning with duke lacrosse but

00:23:21.780 all the way up to the uva uh scandal uh that rolling stone breathlessly reported on without any

00:23:27.440 evidence there's a lot of currency in that in that victimhood it seems to say something about the

00:23:32.820 culture that we're so proud to be victims it seems that something is unhealthy in the culture

00:23:37.300 yeah absolutely and i think um i think that it's all sort of a product of this um you know we're

00:23:47.240 we're so oppressed you know gender social construct kind of mentality um because if women are supposed to 1.00

00:23:56.940 behave like men when it comes to sex and they're supposed to um want to have the kinds of meaningless

00:24:02.540 sex and you know like swipe in whatever direction on tinder they're supposed to be swiping you know 0.98

00:24:07.700 then um then it's always the fault of the man if they feel violated or they feel uncomfortable in some

00:24:18.160 way because that wasn't actually what they wanted to do what they wanted to do was meet a nice guy and

00:24:22.000 fall in love and you know get married and have children so um you know then but it allows you to

00:24:28.400 maintain the lie by saying that you're the victim you were victimized something went wrong this isn't

00:24:34.380 normally how this progresses this regret is so uh out of character yeah this is how i'm supposed to

00:24:40.800 behave i'm supposed to want this but you know so you did something wrong and i'm the victim and now we

00:24:46.040 can maintain the lie right that's absolutely right uh you are happily married so you haven't fallen

00:24:51.660 victim to this awful trap you're a stay-at-home mother and you're married in the old-fashioned

00:24:55.700 way this is you're married in the very old school way where you find another person and then join with

00:25:01.480 them together but that's because you're not hip enough for sologamy you've heard of sologamy in

00:25:06.320 2006 alexandra gill married herself she had a ceremony for herself an italian woman last year

00:25:13.080 laura maizey invited 70 guests to a farmhouse in vimer cate to marry herself a 38 year old british woman 1.00

00:25:20.300 named sophie tanner in 2015 married herself after her father she actually cheated on herself and she

00:25:26.460 cheated on herself yeah and and that was after her father had given her away to herself so sad the

00:25:32.600 wedding party at hers by the way then danced to kendrick lamar's i love myself sex in the city 0.72

00:25:37.480 mentioned it in 2003 a lead character on glee in 2010 enjoyed a sologamous ceremony is this the most

00:25:44.380 depressing thing ever or is this a farce is this uh is this the perfectly logical conclusion of feminism 1.00

00:25:51.520 um yeah i mean i all of the above really depressing and a farce i think i mean i mean they certainly

00:26:02.500 don't think it's a farce they believe everything that they're saying but um yeah i mean i don't even

00:26:10.020 know what that means to marry yourself i mean aren't you already married to yourself i mean like

00:26:15.640 can you separate from yourself because if you if you can't separate from yourself then you can't

00:26:20.500 marry yourself either i don't i don't think you can even procreate with yourself try try as i have i 0.87

00:26:25.740 don't think it's possible it seems like it's slapping lipstick on a pig to use a phrase because

00:26:31.640 you p these people are alone and it's sad that they're alone and it would be nice probably if they

00:26:35.520 found somebody and probably they could find somebody but rather than say gosh i'm alone and

00:26:40.980 maybe i should change that in somewhere i should do something to change that uh instead what they do

00:26:46.080 is they say it's good to feel alone yeah i don't feel terrible i feel great about it and it it's really

00:26:50.820 sad a uh a kind of related question i guess as we're talking about these uh traditionalism versus

00:26:58.500 modernism should women stay home to raise their children did you make the right decision 1.00

00:27:02.400 i definitely made the right decision for me i mean i there is nothing i could imagine doing other

00:27:11.440 than this um and i think that more women probably should do it than than do now but i i really i

00:27:21.180 hesitate to say every woman should do something because then i start to sound like the feminist 0.69

00:27:25.200 um you know so i think what i definitely think is that you this this thing you can have it all you

00:27:33.560 know you can work and you can have your that's not true right if you if you go to work then you're

00:27:38.840 making a decision to parent less and to work less right you you have to there has to be a give and take

00:27:48.960 everywhere so it's a decision that you're making but you have to know that that's the decision that

00:27:53.560 you're making that's not hooray i'm gonna be you know a stay-at-home mom at the same time as being

00:27:59.180 at the office all decisions close off other opportunities to make one decision is to say no

00:28:05.560 to many other ones you know speaking of decision making chesterton said that heresy isn't the

00:28:11.220 promotion of vice over virtue it's the promotion of one virtue to the exclusion of all of the others

00:28:16.540 um that today seems to be consent you know most bars and nightclubs now employ a notary public

00:28:23.400 so they can stamp your physical contact consent forms in every single drunken encounter after i

00:28:30.320 think light hand stuff i think that's the point at which you have to go to the notary he will stamp

00:28:34.700 it then you can walk out together i haven't read the statutes in a while why has our culture elevated

00:28:39.840 consent to be more important than anything else because we've elevated sex to be more important

00:28:47.040 than anything else so when when you know well the person that you are about to engage in sexual

00:28:56.240 activity with it's ridiculous to assume that you should have consent like written consent because

00:29:01.940 that's a person who knows you that you know them if if something is happening that one of you doesn't

00:29:06.860 like you can just say so i mean that's fine i mean you probably should have written consent if you

00:29:12.900 decide to have sex with someone you just met at a bar i mean who who knows like what this who this

00:29:18.300 person is and what they're into i mean you don't know you know it could be marshall for goodness sakes

00:29:21.720 you don't know who you're gonna meet you've only talked to the person for an hour exactly i hear a

00:29:27.000 little voice um yeah so i mean i i think that's the problem right we we've said that that the sex is more

00:29:35.580 important than the connection or the intimacy or you know love and so then we don't actually know

00:29:43.860 what we're getting it's ironic too it's ironic in the sense that sex is we're told that sex is

00:29:50.960 meaningless it's casual you can do it whenever you want it's just like shaking a hand uh but also it's

00:29:56.280 the most important thing ever so if it's just casual if sex is no that doesn't carry any moral weight

00:30:01.040 then sexual assault is no worse than slapping somebody in the face right because the sexual

00:30:05.680 part doesn't make it any worse or more grave or more serious but of course we know that isn't

00:30:11.000 that isn't true and on this as we're as we're going back in time we go to chesterton we can go

00:30:15.800 back to burke burke wrote about the age of ideology post-revolution france proto-feminism he said

00:30:21.420 he's so prescient in every way he wrote now all is to be changed all the pleasing illusions which

00:30:27.460 made power gentle and obedience liberal which harmonized the different shades of life and which

00:30:32.960 by a bland assimilation incorporated into politics the sentiments which beautify and soften private

00:30:39.060 society are to be dissolved by this new conquering empire of light and reason all the decent drapery 1.00

00:30:46.240 of life is to be rudely torn off all the super added ideas furnished from a wardrobe of a moral

00:30:52.160 imagination which the heart owns and the understanding ratifies as necessary to cover

00:30:57.580 the defects of our naked shivering nature and to raise it to dignity in our own estimation are to be

00:31:04.040 exploded as a ridiculous absurd and antiquated fashion on this scheme of things a king is but a man

00:31:11.520 a queen is but a woman a woman is but an animal and an animal not of the highest order and oh homage all 1.00

00:31:19.600 homage paid to the sex in general as such and without distinct views is to be regarded as romance

00:31:26.320 and folly regicide and parasite and sacrilege are but the fictions of superstition corrupting jurisprudence

00:31:32.180 by destroying its simplicity does feminism ultimately mean that a woman is but an animal and an animal not of 1.00

00:31:39.360 the highest order gosh well i lost you a little bit in the feed so i didn't hear the beginning of what

00:31:44.820 you just said but i heard the end of it um i i don't know how to answer that i feel like i feel

00:31:52.200 like feminism makes it certainly makes women into something that they're not um and i think you know 1.00

00:32:01.180 an animal i don't know i please don't record me saying that oh that's okay we'll turn the recorder

00:32:06.740 off keep it rolling keep i'm sorry yes okay well now now i can tell you okay but um you know but i

00:32:14.440 definitely think it makes um it makes women in well it makes women unhappy you know it makes it makes 0.97

00:32:21.380 them unhappy because they they can't get what they want which is you know love and uh intimacy and you

00:32:28.760 know someone to care for them and protect them that's that's what we want that's right and i don't

00:32:32.820 think it turns them into brutes like you know cows or something it doesn't turn them into angry bulls

00:32:38.580 although but looking at that first video perhaps it's an open question but it doesn't i don't think

00:32:44.080 he means that i think he means it takes away all of the things that elevate us above our animal nature

00:32:49.080 does it to men too actually turns us into just brutes who have no sense of chivalry and because they

00:32:55.060 also don't see any femininity in front of them nothing to elevate uh men out of our maybe knuckle dragging 1.00

00:33:02.120 beast like nature but faith you're enough to do that to us you're enough to elevate this whole

00:36:40.940 the day before valentine's day so ask me all of your love questions but forget all that none of

00:36:45.140 that matters what really matters is the leftist tears tumblr we listen we have just watched all

00:36:51.220 of those screaming shrieking feminists at the beginning of the show you're going to need this 1.00

00:36:55.580 otherwise you're going to be not only will your ears be blown out by their awful mawing screams 0.95

00:37:00.300 but also you will drown in their in their lefty tears so make sure you go to dailywire.com we'll be right back

00:37:06.360 let's get right into it first question from ashton hey michael i have two questions

00:37:20.460 though each are of the same life-altering value first what is your favorite scotch do you prefer

00:37:25.360 a more peaty scotch like lagavulin 16 or a sweeter scotch like mccallin 12 the answer is yes the answer

00:37:32.380 is yes to that question second do you enjoy smoking a pipe as you do cigars i often find

00:37:37.280 that pipe smoking allows you to taste the tobacco a bit more clearly than cigar smoking keep living

00:37:41.460 the cultured life uh i much prefer cigars i have nine pipes i have some wonderful vintage pipes

00:37:48.100 these dunhills from the 60s i have a nice dunhill meerschaum pipe that i'll occasionally smoke

00:37:52.880 but one it's very frustrating how to tamp it and pack it and all that stuff you can get very high

00:37:58.280 quality tobacco but the tobacco isn't of the same quality because it's not long leaf filler as cigars

00:38:03.760 are uh it's much less expensive so i like that part of it but i do prefer cigars cigars you just clip

00:38:08.760 it you light it up you smoke it i also once read that's the uh the three kinds of smoking tobacco

00:38:14.060 correspond to the tripartite soul so the cigarettes are the pathos the appetite because they're kind of

00:38:20.780 addictive and you just want to feed an urge and the cigars are the ethos the spirited part and they

00:38:26.160 go outwards and they're big and you think winston churchill things like that and then the pipe is the

00:38:31.160 logos the logical part it's both the stem and the bowl male and female and it it's the philosopher

00:38:37.500 sitting and contemplating by himself so i'm more into the spirited part give me the the cigars and

00:38:43.020 the ethos thank good question from nathan michael can you answer this question correctly nathan buffalo

00:38:50.720 buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo i hope that helps from james dear michael

00:38:57.900 what is your view on churches giving to political candidates it's the same view i have of personally

00:39:02.200 giving to political candidates which is i don't uh put not your trust in princes where your treasure

00:39:07.540 is there will your heart be also we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities

00:39:12.800 against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high

00:39:16.920 places so i don't think the churches should be donating to it i think churches have better

00:39:21.100 things to do with their money that said uh we should certainly repeal this johnson amendment which 0.99

00:39:27.080 since 1954 has prevented churches from endorsing or opposing political candidates theoretically because

00:39:32.940 it's actually only stopped christian churches and jews and muslims from endorsing candidates and even

00:39:37.200 that's not quite true it really only stops conservative religious groups from endorsing candidates

00:39:41.800 in 2016 fully 28 percent of respondents to a pew research poll of people who attended black

00:39:48.600 protestant churches heard their pastor support hillary clinton over a quarter absolutely no

00:39:54.380 consequences whatsoever just nine percent of people who attended religious services generally heard

00:39:59.360 clergy speak about a particular uh political candidate but well over a quarter of black protestant

00:40:04.620 churches were preaching the anti-gospel of hillary and that had no effect the reason that they can't do 1.00

00:40:09.780 it is because of their tax exempt status so the government says you don't have to pay taxes

00:40:13.880 on your donations which of course they shouldn't pay taxes on their donations period but they said you

00:40:18.820 don't have to do that but you can't talk about politics uh you know this really just affects the

00:40:23.640 conservative churches one time i accidentally attended what's called an independent catholic church

00:40:28.080 i think they're they're like not in communion with the vatican they're very right wing more than

00:40:32.700 the society of saint pius x and they're uh they're probably i think i think it was excommunicated but

00:40:39.280 anyway i just went there because they did a latin mass and i wasn't i wasn't aware and because they're

00:40:43.840 not tax exempt i heard the guy at the podium he said in the homily the quasi priest i guess he said

00:40:50.360 you know okay the the dance will be on thursday and the picnic will be on wednesday and don't forget

00:40:57.220 that tuesday is your last chance to stop the abomination administration on their path of utter destruction

00:41:01.580 and i i really want my church to be able to get down to brass tacks like that and tell us to stop

00:41:07.120 voting for people who want to attack who want to make nuns pay for abortions and who want to kill

00:41:13.640 more babies and and want to raise my taxes all of which are terrible i won't rank them right now on

00:41:19.560 the show so you know left-wing churches get to endorse candidates but forget about that the true church

00:41:24.640 of the left which is hollywood and the mainstream media they constantly shill for democrats so the only

00:41:29.660 people stripped of our first amendment rights are religious conservatives it's time to do away with 0.99

00:41:34.020 the johnson amendment i hope trump does it pronto president trump has been excellent on these issues

00:41:38.760 so he very well might it's a totally unfair and un-american advantage to the left and it has

00:41:43.960 significantly hastened to the decline in our culture next question from patrick dear

00:41:48.880 knowles et al after watching your this day in history on king george the third and remarking on his

00:41:54.680 character and general light-handedness on the colonies i had to wonder how justified was the american

00:41:59.140 revolution if the levied taxes were to pay for a war defending britain's colonies and the king was

00:42:04.780 generally a good guy was the u.s right to break away why or why not thanks and love the show patrick

00:42:10.160 i do have certain certain tory sensibilities but no it was it was perfectly justified it was quite

00:42:17.680 justified because unlike the french revolution it was a conservative revolution in america george the

00:42:23.020 third was a decent guy he was generally more lenient than his government on the colonies

00:42:27.060 but he would not assent to representation in parliament i'm slightly biased here because two

00:42:32.540 of my forebears fought in the revolution one of them died john and simon knowles john died at bunker hill

00:42:38.120 simon also fought at bunker hill he was young to enlist though he was 16 or even younger and he was with

00:42:43.600 washington valley forge and white plains uh so i take some family pride in that and uh wouldn't want to

00:42:50.420 make them frown from heaven um i think it was totally justified because you have highly educated

00:42:56.100 englishmen in america with an ever separating culture half a world away being taxed without

00:43:02.080 representation or very much respect from their imperial government it's not that the taxes were

00:43:07.420 unfair it's that they didn't have a voice in parliament and george wasn't going to give it to them

00:43:11.320 uh these colonists were not backwater primitives who had no sense of self-government they weren't

00:43:17.860 colonials who didn't understand republics or democracy or christianity or the culture that gave 0.59

00:43:23.320 birth to self-government they were englishmen of equal uh political resources and tradition with their

00:43:30.760 quasi-countrymen across the pond had george assented to representation in parliament the revolution likely

00:43:36.780 would not have come but he didn't and so it came luckily it was a conservative revolution

00:43:41.640 uh if it preserved tradition rather than like the french tearing apart all of the foundations of

00:43:46.740 society banning christianity cults of reason killing priests beheadings regicide ours because it was 0.95

00:43:52.820 british and not french was far more orderly and it's a good thing that it happened because it gave

00:43:57.620 the u.s the requisite independence and distance to remain outside conversations of peace with hitler

00:44:03.600 or getting bogged down early in war efforts so that we could swoop in and save the old world twice

00:44:08.820 back-to-back world war champions very good thing from seamus do you think the act of writing can be seen

00:44:13.940 as inherently narcissistic not the way i do it definitely not the way i do it it depends on

00:44:19.760 what you're writing about if you're writing an empty celebrity tell-all memoir yeah maybe it's

00:44:24.380 narcissistic but if you're writing about something that matters certainly not but beyond narcissism i

00:44:30.020 maybe what you're getting at too is that there's a certain arrogance to writing or confidence in

00:44:34.480 stating your opinion and holding opinion uh in telling others what to think about the world

00:44:39.100 as former president of yale rich levin uh a lefty but uh you know rich levin was a lefty but he's

00:44:46.500 he's right about a lot of things he observed in a speech one time that the truth is arrogant

00:44:51.460 the truth is arrogant so we have this new culture would say that's your opinion man don't don't yuck

00:44:56.880 my yum don't tell me what to think that's so how arrogant of you the truth is arrogant the truth

00:45:01.340 it's arrogant to say that two plus two is four because you're saying that two plus two isn't

00:45:04.980 three and if someone says that two plus two is three then you're saying that they're wrong and

00:45:10.760 that they are less learned or less thoughtful or less intelligent the truth is arrogant that's okay

00:45:15.380 it's all right as long as it's the truth the truth above all things from mike uh from marley

00:45:20.120 michael on your program you have related reiterated the importance of majoring in an academically solid

00:45:25.440 field like history or literature rather than social science i'm a music history major and throughout my

00:45:29.880 studies uh the history especially of early music is highly politicized whenever the origin

00:45:34.800 is in any way based in christian theology or is a resultant from a church musician discovering a new

00:45:40.380 notation technique there's a near gut reaction to turn every early musical innovation or work into

00:45:45.380 some analogy for extramarital erotica or some anti-religious propaganda how did you combat the

00:45:51.060 politicization of studying something like history that should be factual and concrete but has become

00:45:57.400 more subjective uh over time thanks marley very luckily uh the one thing yale does very

00:46:04.800 well is is the history department actually and that doesn't mean they don't have insane history

00:46:09.560 teachers there that teach nonsense but there's a lot of freedom so they teach everything and so you'll

00:46:15.100 get donald kagan or you'll get john gaddis or uh charles hill or you'll get uh good teachers there

00:46:21.220 in the field of history who can uh learn you something and then you can avoid the classes that are bad

00:46:27.560 this does happen a lot with history history can become highly politicized

00:46:31.100 uh what you have to do is analyze the historical techniques and make sure that you're not learning

00:46:35.700 history through some historicist ridiculous lens uh and you have to look for the good professors

00:46:40.900 always study the professors don't who cares what the sub the course subject is all that matters when

00:46:47.420 you're studying an undergraduate is the professor i think it's probably true of graduate school as well

00:46:52.100 that you will learn even if it's a teaching something that you're not necessarily the most interested in

00:46:57.540 go to the good professor who views the world in a normal and rational and thoughtful way you will

00:47:04.300 learn much much more from that person even if it's not in your precise interest from lisa hi my name is

00:47:10.180 lisa i know i just said that i'm a new subscriber thank you and would you i would like to know what

00:47:14.740 your kingdom series is that you mentioned at the end of an episode you're uh absolutely fabulous thank

00:47:19.940 you and my grandparents came from italy and spain and i loved how you knew the italian word for

00:47:24.680 cuckold and what it means cornuto cornuto uh yeah i heard that one a lot uh so that's another kingdom

00:47:31.060 a shameless plug another kingdom is the podcast that andrew clavin wrote that i performed it's now all

00:47:37.260 out so you can binge it just search for andrew clavin's another kingdom wherever fine narrative

00:47:47.880 check it out it's uh it's a lot of fun and people are binging it and please leave a five-star review

00:47:51.700 it helps us to pitch it to hollywood and poke an eye in them when they want to blacklist

00:47:55.900 conservatives from michael mr knowles i am hoping you can rebut a few liberal points i've heard this

00:48:01.220 week concerning the economy word is that members on the left should not shy away from debating the

00:48:06.220 so-called booming economy as it may not be as great as the right makes it out to be their proof

00:48:10.760 is that is the assertion of points that the stock market grew faster under obama's first year

00:48:15.020 wages haven't grown much and growth was higher in the three years preceding trump

00:48:18.720 also the bonuses being given out are from tax cuts and they're being undercut by large swaths

00:48:23.120 of employees being laid off interesting to hear your thoughts thanks it's not that our friends

00:48:27.320 on the left are wrong they just know so much that isn't so um to begin yes but barack obama came out

00:48:33.240 of the worst recession since the great depression as he was so fond of telling us and he had a terrible

00:48:37.600 recovery it was a recovery that never really happened but nevertheless it had to go somewhere

00:48:41.820 so yeah yes the economy did grow under barack obama it couldn't really have fallen any further than it

00:48:47.020 did uh certain aspects of the economy we can attribute to donald trump we were told by all

00:48:52.340 of the lefty predictors that the market would tank and never recover that's what paul krugman said

00:48:56.280 if trump were elected not true it did tank a little bit and then it shot right back up

00:49:00.220 uh we were told that uh we would never hit three percent economic growth we've blown past that

00:49:06.020 something barack obama never could do donald trump did in his first year consumer confidence is high

00:49:10.280 the imf the international monetary fund no fun of donald no fan of donald trump said tax cuts

00:49:15.620 tax reform will help the global economy as for the massive layoffs that's just total nonsense

00:49:21.240 the plural of anecdote is not data so if some company lays people off okay but as a matter of

00:49:26.720 the u.s economy we are are uh the number of people who applied for unemployment benefits in january

00:49:31.680 fell by a thousand to two hundred thirty thousand which keeps initial u.s jobless claims near a 45 year

00:49:39.060 low a half century low in unemployment economists polled by market watch had a forecast of 240 000

00:49:47.000 in the seven days before we beat it this is the tightest jobs market in decades this is the best

00:49:52.600 time for jobs in decades it's finally causing wages to rise which they haven't done in eight and a half

00:49:57.860 years hmm what happened for the last eight and a half years i wonder what what does that eight and a

00:50:01.380 half year period correspond with that i don't know it comes out of my head uh wages for private

00:50:06.080 sector employees have risen two point eight percent in the last year the biggest year over year gain

00:50:10.220 since 2008 huh what happened in 2008 i can't think what i had so strange uh unemployment is at a 17

00:50:15.540 year low um by other measures uh the economy added 185 000 jobs the market is at record highs but of

00:50:22.120 course look the market is going to correct at some point the markets don't track day to day with the

00:50:26.920 presidency and markets go through periods of boom and periods of bust periods of bullish markets and

00:50:31.980 bearish markets and so that'll uh correct soon i kind of wish president trump weren't tying his

00:50:37.580 success to the stock market so much because it's going to correct it has to and then democrats are

00:50:43.220 going to lambast him for it but neither the huge booms are owing to donald trump and neither are the

00:50:49.640 busts from neil hi michael the irish conservative government uh fina gale pronounced fina gale after years of

00:50:57.580 mounting pressure in ireland has announced a vote on repealing article 8 of our constitution this

00:51:02.500 article pertains to the equal right to life to both the mother and the unborn child could you please

00:51:06.800 shout out to fellow irish listeners like myself that they can visit check the register.ie and take

00:51:12.240 steps to ensure they are on the register if you have an irish passport you're eligible to vote this

00:51:17.460 also applies to irish abroad and scattered across the world like myself if you have a passport you can fly

00:51:22.460 home to vote to preserve the sanctity of life in the republic of ireland every vote counts thanks a

00:51:28.180 million it would be a damn shame if ireland allows uh allows widespread abortion that would be awful 1.00

00:51:34.140 so go check it out i'm happy to read that from nick almighty knowles what is your favorite moment in

00:51:38.600 the history of the usa probably have to end on this one guys what is your favorite moment in the history

00:51:42.960 of the usa also what brand of smoking jacket were you wearing on tuesday night during the state of the

00:51:48.620 union my favorite moment in the history of united states is the landing at plymouth that's my favorite

00:51:54.660 one because it wasn't supposed to happen everything conspired against it the government of holland

00:52:01.100 conspired against it uh the the english crown conspired against it uh they the weather conspired

00:52:09.460 against it they were blown way off course they were blown hundreds of miles off course they were supposed

00:52:13.640 to go to manhattan but they didn't even hit the nice harbor boston harbor that's right above

00:52:18.480 them they landed at this random place in plymouth and out walks basically the only guy two the two

00:52:23.860 only people on the continent who spoke english and and really uh squanto squanto was the one who really

00:52:29.620 spoke english who had bizarrely lived in london and lived in spain and it was it's just an example of

00:52:36.000 providence of divine intervention in the founding of america it's undeniable if if one looks at the fact

00:52:42.400 of it that that is the best explanation um and it's unsurprising because they are pilgrims it's like

00:52:48.000 almost too on the nose if you pitch this to hollywood hollywood would say nah it's too on the

00:52:51.660 nose that's ridiculous no one's going to believe that uh and that's followed by the battle of long

00:52:55.580 island is another one uh washington was the the revolutionary war should have ended uh the brits 0.76

00:53:02.040 should have wiped them out in new york they should never have been able to evacuate and then and then

00:53:06.540 the weather changed and washington was able to get basically everybody out without any casualties

00:53:11.300 just totally it should not have happened and yet it had to happen because it to me seems an evidence

00:53:19.720 of providence and there are countless other examples throughout our history and in answer to the most

00:53:24.180 important question that is a paul stewart uh double clasp double-breasted smoking jacket with i think

00:53:29.960 they're called are they turtle clasps or something they don't make it anymore that was given to me by my

00:53:34.900 godmother uh who is very very nice she was ridiculous it's probably the nicest article of clothing i'll ever 0.98

00:53:40.660 own and she gave it to me and then they stopped making it a year or two later because it turns out

00:53:44.680 that the 18th century 19th century dandy population has starkly declined in recent years so not a lot

00:53:51.760 of people are wearing smoking jackets if you can get your hands on one or a vintage one or something

00:53:55.520 do it they actually work they keep the smoke off of a lot of your clothing and they look very foppish

00:54:00.860 and ridiculous okay that's our show that's our week uh we will be back we have a special show to

00:54:05.720 announce coming next week but i don't i'll leave you wondering about it i hope you can survive the
