I can't count how many episodes I say I was talking to my husband. I mean, it's true. We have these deep philosophical discussions, I guess, over the weekend. I think most people are dealing with their hangovers and tired, but we like to go out for breakfast and have deep philosophical discussions. And one such discussion took place over the weekend. And I was talking, I was sort of recounting the past week's episodes because, believe it or not, my husband does not listen to every single episode of the show. That's very disturbing to me. Anyways, I was telling him how I come up with that theory about people that are close minded. My new fascination with close minded individuals and how I'm interested in them because they don't care about the open minded people like Sam Smith, as we discussed on the show. And yet those people who are out and doing wild things are sort of obsessed with the close minded people. They shape their entire existence around trying to do something so perverse that it upsets people that are close minded, right? It's all about saying the church is wrong, but church, look at me, look at me, look at me. Why am I not accepted into this church? And I was sharing that with my husband about this sort of lack of caring. People that are close minded, they don't care. They truly are not even following or even commenting when you're truly close minded on culture because they're very sure of themselves. They carry this confidence. They know exactly what their lives are supposed to be about. They are focused on their families. They're focused on their health. And I think all of that is very admirable. And I've realized that my husband is becoming more closed minded in that way. He follows less of the cultural chatter. And he has developed some really wonderful habits. He doesn't take his phone into the bedroom. He said that the reason he got rid of all of his social media is because he found it to be very toxic. He found himself waking up and being angry, right? The first thing you do, you open, it's an article. You've got Sam Smith in your face. He's in assless chaps, and he's got devil horns on. And the first thought of the day is, why? And then you're angry. And so he's become increasingly more closed minded. And he said, and part of it has made him not even interested so much in conservatives when they, and this is what he said, feign outrage. Think about that. When conservatives feign outrage, what does he mean? I wanted to know. I was like, what are you talking about? And he used that same example, talking about my past podcast, of Sam Smith. And he said, why were so many conservatives and people on the left who also said that they thought it was inappropriate, he said, why were they pretending to be outraged at this performance? I said, what do you mean they weren't pretending? They were actually upset. You had a man up there half naked, actually dressed as Satan. You know, this time it was just so in our faces, Satanism, demonism. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear all of the conservatives talking about that. But why? He said, the majority of them aren't Christians. People that are commentating are not Christians. And if you are not a Christian, then you don't believe in the devil. You don't believe in God, and you don't believe in a devil. So if you are not a Christian, why are you outraged by a man that is dressed as something that you don't believe exists? Think about that. I was very floored by this. I thought, yeah, that's a very good point. Why are people that are not Christians and do not believe in the devil, why are they outraged by this? He said, to them, they should have watched that, and that should have been like watching Halloween. So what? He's dressed up. He's dressed up in red, and he's the devil, and he's dancing on stage. He's turned the entire room red. That should have represented to them a Halloween performance. So why were so many of them outraged? He gave me examples of people left and right, some of them gay people on the left who were talking about how outraged they were, gay people on the right who were talking about how outraged they were. And he said, the reason that they're pretending to be outraged is because it provides unique opportunity for moral relativity. People that we know that are living their lives in sin, people that we know, there's even debates about whether or not people should watch pornography, right? People that are conservatives that believe that watching a little bit of pornography is not bad. Hey, maybe it's even healthy. You shouldn't watch a lot of it. You might have a problem, but there are people that will debate you that are conservatives that think that a little pornography, so what, never harmed nobody. Okay, so that's moral relativity. You're telling me that you think it's fine to lock yourself into a room, pray that nobody walks in and sees you in your shame, and watch people, people that you know are usually destitute and desperate and addicted to drugs, right, drinking and drugs, living a horrible lifestyle, perform so that you can essentially have sex with yourself. That's totally fine, but it's Sam Smith. At least you're not Sam Smith, right? All of this, this shame of locking yourself in a room, participating in pornography, that's totally fine, but at least you're not Sam Smith. At least you're not doing this in public. At least you're not standing on stage with horns and dancing. So you're a moral relativist. That's what you are. You don't actually a better person per se. You just like the unique opportunity to pretend that you're a better person because somebody is doing publicly things that you wouldn't do publicly. You do things that are perhaps even worse, but at least you have the morality to do those horribly worse things, much worse things, in private. Those are your ideas, and I'm seeing more and more examples of that. Now that he's put this thought in my head, I see that. And I try to be very careful in my commentary not to be a moral relativist, not to be one of those people that says, my gosh, look at this person, but then privately I'm doing the same thing, right? What a ridiculous thing if I was going, I can't believe that Cardi B's twerking on stage. I can't look at her. Look at her. She's half naked. It's crazy. She's simulating lesbian sex on stage. And then on Friday nights I go and I get blacked out. Imagine, I get blacked out, and I'm with my girlfriends, and I'm dancing on top of them. And I go, well, at least I'm not Cardi B. I'm not doing it at the Grammys. Are you a moral relativist? Do you do these sorts of things? Do you offer commentary on things knowing that privately you partake in a lot of the same nonsense, but you somehow are using these people as examples so that you can feel better about yourself, right? Ultimately, I'm asking you, are you a hypocrite? Because if you are one, and if we have become hypocrites, then we need to make every effort, every conscious effort to transform that. We should be saying things that have meaning. We should be saying, this is a bad thing, and I know this is a bad thing, and I do not do this bad thing. I would not do this bad thing in public, and I also do not do this bad thing in private. I think that's aspirational, which is why I wanted to share it. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Okay, now it's time for some topics du jour. So I told you guys many episodes ago about a thread on Reddit that's entitled Child Free. So essentially, it's a bunch of couples that choose to be a part of this group. And it's a pretty dark thread because it's just them kind of living their lives. And then they'll send pictures, like let's say they're at a restaurant and they see a couple with a young toddler, and the toddler feels temper tantrum. They'll take a picture of the toddler on the floor and then post it. In this Reddit group being like, ha ha, so glad we don't have kids. Very disturbing and very dark. Well, of course, because Reddit is from yesteryear, and now the world is all about TikTok. This is now a TikTok thing, and they're giving it a new name. It's called Dinks. It's Rise of the Dinks on TikTok. Now, Dink stands for dual income, no kids. So essentially, people that choose to be child free, discussing how amazing their lives are because they don't have children. And their lives are amazing for a variety of reasons that they want you to know. Here's one young woman listing those reasons. Take a listen. Hey guys, so these are six things that I love about being in a Dink couple. So if you don't know, Dink is dual income and no kids. Okay, starting off strong, number one is the ability to travel. So since we have been together, we've managed to travel the majority of Europe together. And it would not have been Number two is the ability to carry on self-improvement in the form of education or hobbies. My partner is a medic, also a PhD student. Again, I don't think that would be possible for me knowing my own capacity without children. And it goes without saying the ability to maintain upward mobility. Also learning each other's love languages and having time when it's just the two of us to really express love to one another. Last but not least, the ability to relocate. Around Christmas time, we decided, okay, we need to make a decision about where we want to spend the rest of our life. And we decided on Canada for lots of personal and family reasons. And in about four weeks, we're going to be in Canada. I just love that. I think it's great because she's basically not giving you any sound reasonings. It's like she's saying something and then she's basically saying the old school, because I said so. Because I said so. I'm saying that you wouldn't be able to do this with kids because I said so. And it must be impossible. It clearly, nothing that she's listed is impossible without kids. Let's just revisit that list. She talks about education. Says her spouse is enrolled in further education. Okay, since having kids, I completed. Actually, when I had no kids, I had dropped out of college because I didn't have enough money to finish my last year. I completed a double degree since having kids. So that's a fun way to debunk that. Travel, does she think that people with kids just don't travel? Does she mean to say the travel might look different or be different or the goals would be different in terms of where you'd want to see? You want something that's more kid-friendly perhaps, but does she think that people with children just never travel? Because that's not a thing. She talks about upward mobility as if it means that once you have kids, it's all downward. No, actually what tends to be the circumstance is that once you know you want to have kids or once you have kids, it actually motivates you to be more responsible to save better and to want to work even harder. Men become, I believe, more driven after children than they are before driven because otherwise you're just going, well, I'm only going to have to have enough money to spend on myself. But there seems to be less of a reason to have a lot of money. And this last one is just totally bizarre. Relocate. We had discussions about where we wanted to live and we decided Canada. So we moved to Canada. Okay, do you think that that can't happen if you have kids? Have you never heard of a family moving for a job opportunity? I mean, I was living in DC and then I moved to Tennessee because of a job opportunity and you're not going to believe this. Not going to believe this TikTok girl, but I did it actually after having children. So it's just a nonsense list. But if you think that is ridiculous, wait till you see this girl. This girl documents a day with no kids and you're not even, you are just sit down. If you are walking, please take a seat because it's crazy what she's able to do without any kids. Take a listen. We are dinks, which means we're double income, no kids. So come and spend the most relaxing Sunday with us. I started off the day by having the nicest lay in. I laid into about 11. Caught up on some YouTube, watched some TV. Then I got up, put my cosy dressing gown on and made myself the nicest iced coffee. This Alpro vanilla milk in your iced coffee is so, so good. Look how nice it turned out. Then I headed back upstairs because I wanted to have a little bit of pamper this morning. It was hair wash day, so I decided to oil my hair. Gave it a good brush through and then put loads of the oil in it on my scalp, run it through my ends. I bought this massager off Amazon to try and help with my hair growth and stimulate my follicles on my scalp and it feels amazing. And it feels amazing. Okay, there's a lot I can say there. First off, if you're waking up at 11 AM and you're not a dink, you're a doink. I mean, what are you doing with the rest of your day? What are you, waking up at 11, are you depressed? Is this supposed to be aspirational? Guess what? If you don't have any kids, you can be depressed and you can lay in bed until 11 AM. And then when you wake up from your 11 AM snooze, you can go down the stairs and make yourself a coffee. Do people think that parents are not drinking coffee? Because I would like to correct the record right now, right now. First and foremost, I think we consume the most coffee. I think parents consume the most coffee. So if you think of this as a luxury that is only afforded to you, making a coffee in the morning, you better have kids ASAP. You're going to be shocked at how much coffee you are allowed to drink when you have kids. I love how she says, the milk in the coffee is so good. We're just not having milk in our coffee. Once you have a child, somebody comes down and says, that's it. No more coffee, just a baby, not actually a thing. But then her day gets even more exciting, guys, because she brushes her hair. She gives her hair a wash, and as everybody listening and watching the show knows, we don't do that. Once you have kids, one thing that I've expressly never done since having kids is brushed or washed my hair, and that's sad. She's right, it's sad. Those were my dink days. I never was allowed to do that. And I always did it, and now I'm not allowed to do it since I now have two children. So it's very sad, and I'm so glad that she's documented this hard-hitting piece of journalism. In fact, later on, we cut this clip short, but later on, she even goes out to eat with her boyfriend, her significant other. And obviously, as you know, once you have kids, you are never allowed to go out to eat ever again. I guess that would make me, I'm actually a dual income with kids, so I'm a duke, a duke, I'm a duke. And as a duke, I would just like people that are listening to know that you can do all of these things. I don't know, they say correlation is not causation. I think in their heads, they've somehow, they believe that because they are living this life, it must mean that married people are not able to live this life. It's really reversed in their heads. It couldn't be further from the truth. And by the way, this sort of commentary is going mainstream, talking about how great your life is without children. In fact, Chelsea Handler recently did a skit on this, and take a listen. This is a day in the life of a childless woman. I wake up at 6 AM. I remember that I have no kids to take to school, so I take an edible, masturbate, and go back to sleep. I wake up at 12.30 PM and get ready for a busy day of doing whatever the f*** I feel like. I put on my most impractical and stylish shoes, since I won't be chasing a child around the grocery store. I go to my fave spot in Paris to grab a croissant. I do a meditation sesh on the plane, since I have no screaming kids, allowing me all the time in the world to become enlightened. The weightlessness of my existence has granted me superhuman powers. I teleport myself back home. Then I get ready for a night out with whatever hot guy I met on Raya that morning. I call up a babysitter and tell her that I don't need her, since I still don't have kids. There you have it, a day in the life of a childless woman. Look, I don't know what the point of the skit was. Obviously, it's hyperbolic. Maybe she's trying to say that, like, this is what people assume your life is like when you have no kids, and she's being hyperbolic because, obviously, it's anything but. And Chelsea Handler has been a person who, in the past, has talked about her struggles with anxiety and depression and talks about the fact that she takes pills. And I've used her, actually, as a cultural example of what not to do, right? Because she's not actually a fulfilled or a happy person. And I'm happy that she seems to be an okay enough place to mock her circumstances. But I do think that if you sort of look a little bit behind the veil here, you'll see that these people on TikTok, these young girls on TikTok, who are really just selfish brats that are really young, if they pursue this path, what they'll really wind up as is in their 50s, like Chelsea Handler is, and alone and taking pills to make themselves happy. It's why I talk about feminism as being a trap, modern feminism in this latest iteration as being a trap, because it makes you fundamentally unhappy and alone. And it's far from being able to jump on a plane and meditate and do whatever you want and teleport back from Paris and all of these jokes that she's making. It's a tremendously lonely life, especially because when people around you and everybody else grows up and decides to fulfill their life with the things that matter, like family, like children, like having those get-togethers, you're the odd man out. And so people should pursue family, people should pursue marriage and should pursue family and should do everything that they can to bless themselves with that circumstance, because that's what it is. It's been one long blessing. Are there tough days as a parent? Absolutely, when the kids are sick and you're tired and you've gotta kind of will yourself, because there are no sick days when you become a parent. And that is absolutely true, but the magic of becoming a parent, the magic of being a mother, it is the most wonderful chapter of my life that I've ever been in. And I constantly want to implore the young women and the young men that follow me to achieve that, to aspire to that. All right, guys, moving on to a different topic. Teen girls, and I get this is almost the same topic, are reporting record levels of violence, sadness, and suicide. This is according to a CDC survey, so you can take that with a grain of salt. But I do want to read you some of this. It says that data shows that 57% of high school girls felt persistently sad or hopeless in 2021, which is a nearly 60% increase in the highest level reported over the past decade. In comparison, 29% of boys the same age reported the same feelings. 30% of girls have seriously considered attempting suicide, that's a nearly 60% increase from a decade before. And an 18% say they've experienced sexual violence in the past year, which is a 20% increase since 2017. 14% say that they had been forced to have sex, which is a 27% increase since 2019. So these are some interesting statistics, and it's interesting to think about what could be contributing to these record levels of sadness, record levels of violence, record levels of sexual offense. And I will attribute it, because I don't mind doing that, to our culture, which has become perverse. And a culture that has been dominated by sex, sexual imagery, telling people that losing their virginity doesn't matter, telling people that aspiring toward family is backwards, telling women that they should feel sexual, and that their sexuality is their own. And to not think twice about hookup culture, I contribute this to the dating apps. In fact, I continue this to the culture of drinking, which is something that it is hard to imagine the America where people didn't drink every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday brunch as well. But that used to be American society, and I think that that more wholesome society contributed to more happy individuals. And it's interesting that men are not experiencing the same steep incline as women are experiencing. When I was discussing this, I think because, as I've always said, a lot of this fast culture that we've arrived in, it benefits men. You're telling women to be sleazier, to pursue hookup culture, and it is so unnatural for women to be like this. Of course, this is going to cause sadness, it's going to cause anxiety, it's going to cause regret, it's going to put them into terrible circumstances. But it's a net benefit for men, telling women to throw themselves at men, telling men to be non-committal, telling them that having severe relationships don't actually matter. I think that, I've said this over and over again, of why I don't like feminism. I think everything that it does in the end actually hurts women, and benefits men. Men are not going to care if you want to be naked on the Internet. Women are being told that that's freedom, and it's not. It makes them feel more miserable, it makes them feel objectified. And where people like me are mocked for saying that. I see people in the comments sometimes, my God, how boring Candace must be in the way that she lives her livelihood, because I'm not big on drinking. And I don't encourage people to partake in this hookup culture. I encourage people to try to pursue a meaningful relationship. But I'll guarantee you that the people that listen to me and are leading their lives more meaningfully are going to be happier in the end. All right, guys, moving on. A Belgian goalkeeper, his name is Arnie Espiel. He died after he collapsed on the pitch on Saturday. Moments after saving a penalty for his team, he was just 25 years old. Now, there is a lot of that going around lately. Don't let people confuse you and say, everyone was just, athletes were just dropping dead of heart attacks. Absolutely not. We covered it on a previous episode, there has been an exponential rise in healthy young men dropping dead of heart attacks. In other words, this was not a thing in the way that we are seeing it today. This was nowhere near a thing. You can even look on Wikipedia. It lists athletes. Try to check the year 2019 of how many athletes died of heart attacks, young athletes, compared to today. It's shocking. And of course, they never know the reasons why these athletes are dropping dead of heart attacks. But one person who did not die, of course, is DeMar Hamlin. Fortunately, he survived his heart attack that took place on the field while he was playing football. DeMar Hamlin has now opened up to Michael Strahan regarding that moment in a sit down interview. And what he says, or rather what he doesn't say, is rather shocking. Take a listen. How did doctor describe what happened to you? That's something I want to stay away from. I know from my experience in the NFL, they do more tests than anything. And in the course of you having your physical, did anybody ever come back with any, say, you had a heart issue or anything that was abnormal? Honestly, no. I've always been a healthy, young, fit, energetic, you know, human being, let alone athlete. So it was something that was just, that we're still processing. And I'm still talking through with my doctors just to see what everything was. His face really says it all. If you're listening to this podcast and not watching it, you should go pursue that clip because he looks terrified. He looks like he knows what he should say, but what he is not allowed to say. To say it's something that I want to stay away from, what does that mean? What does that mean? Why wouldn't you be able to talk about, if this was a normal event that happens to a 24-year-old who's perfectly healthy and an athlete, it isn't. But if it was, you'd be able to talk about it. You wouldn't go moment of silence and then say that's something I want to stay away from. He's staying away from it because he knows that it's highly political. Because COVID was political. COVID was political because the reasons that they forced these perfectly healthy young men to get the vaccine was political. It was a political event, forcing athletes to do something against their will, right? Which rendered them, in my opinion and the opinion of many others, less healthy. We know that it increases your chance of myocarditis and that men especially are the most impacted by this increase in myocarditis. So what happened to DeMar Hamlin that he wants to stay away from? I'm guessing he is not going to say much more than that because even he is afraid of big pharma. And he does not want to end up on the wrong side of politics. And that is all I'm going to say about that. All right, you guys, let's read some of your comments. This first couple of comments are regarding what I said about DeSantis. I thought that that was going to make people very unhappy. Let's see what Christine King has to say. Christine King wrote to me, she said, I love Ron DeSantis. He is our beloved governor. However, I know he has taken huge support and donations from the Bushes, Jeb Bush. I feel like he is playing a role and I do not trust him for president. I did not know that, but that is my inkling. I feel like he could become a swamp character. He could be super disappointing. I don't think that he would pull a Mitt Romney, but the whole Bush thing makes sense to me, kind of like the John McCain vibe is just the vibe I get, which again, I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I have nothing concrete. I'm just giving you my gut feeling about him. I don't trust him. Jackson says, I agree, Candace. I don't trust DeSantis. He has done well in Florida, but I think he is backed by rhinos. And Trump is the only president that has the right foreign policy. We must end these wars and clean house at home. The swamp was never drained. Trump drained enough so that we could see the heads of most the swamp creatures, but they are still there, and the swamp is filled back up. Trump needs four years unimpeded so he can finish the job. I wish Trump wasn't so affected by the outcome of the election, meaning that I feel like he's still reeling from it. And he just hasn't really given us a vision on what the future looks like. We know what he's angry about, but we can't have a backward vision. But I totally agree with you. It is a rhino feeling, is the best description of it. I don't feel that differently about DeSantis as I do about Nikki Haley. And just again, I think that military-industrial complex, things of that nature, is what he's going to become, which is why I don't trust him on foreign policy. I think I am unique at The Daily Wire in that. I know that a lot of the other hosts like him for president. And rightfully so. I mean, Ben lives in Florida. He's a wonderful governor, so it's very easy to see why he would go, he wants to go on to presidency. And I think Matt Walsh, when we did a backstage, said that he liked him. But actually, I think that was when we said Trump or DeSantis. That's not a fair interpretation of who they'd like to see. Maybe Michael Knowles, though, is on my side about this, I suspect. Next couple of comments are regarding Amber Rose. You guys will recall Amber Rose is such a feminist that she's trained her young son to be a feminist. And that includes training him to offer her a tampon every time she goes to the bathroom at the age of two, when he was two years old. Mary Pate says, when I heard Amber Rose say that her son asked her if she needed a tampon or a pad, I was like, ew. No, no, no, no. This is wrong on so many levels. It saddens me to think that parents like this don't have children's services knocking out their door, while kind, loving parents who are going through some crap have CPS breathing down their necks, threatening to take their kids away rather than giving them actual help. That's true. And by the way, they'll knock on your doors for things as simple as saying no to a vaccine. They'll knock on your door. They'll say, you're in trouble. We're going to take your kids away because you won't let the state inject things into your child's body. But Amber Rose, all good, all good. A.T. says, it saddens me that there will be an entire generation of adults within the next decade or two who will never know true intimacy. They will never know the closeness one feels to another when the most private parts of themselves are only shared with that one special person. They're being raised to believe that it's totally normal to expose their bodies, their lives, and even their private thoughts to strangers online. That is such an interesting take and one that I hadn't considered. And that is true, that we will never know true intimacy when everything, when you're being told that intimacy is something that you should achieve online for likes. What a horrible trait, you know, to exchange your body for a thumbs up. And yet we see more and more people doing this. And when telling women that being on OnlyFans is something that is empowering, which of course it is not, you can imagine how broken these individuals will end up and what sort of distorted relationships they'll end up in. You know, what is that man really going to think about you when he's sharing you with the world? How is that supposed to feel special or to feel intimate? So I really appreciate that thought. Other comments I've received regarding the show. This person, Zariah, writes, I'm center left politically and watch Candace in this YouTube channel a lot. And I agree with her on a lot of topics. I'm pushing back on woke culture, cancel culture, immigration policies, pro-choice regarding vaccines, criticizing Pfizer and big pharma in general, etc. But I also disagree with her on a few things. Fundamental things, such as her stance on abortion, but also in the case of this video of how she doesn't support DeSantis, which I would vote for Which, for the record, I can't since I'm Canadian living in Europe, but I digress. However, what I can say, that's what I really admire about Candace, is that she's not afraid to speak her mind. She's able to make nuanced opinions. She's able to criticize both DeSantis and Trump and understands that the world is not black and white, that she doesn't blindly follow and support a politician because everyone else is doing it. And I also admire that if she makes a mistake, she acknowledges it and apologizes it. Thanks, Candace. That was such a nice comment to receive. That really is very nice. People recognize that. And that is what I always say, is I'm just trying to be authentic. And sometimes that puts me at odds with people that watch the show, and sometimes it puts me in their favor. And I try to criticize people when they deserve to be criticized. And I do think that in this moment, both Trump and DeSantis are worthy of criticism. And we will see how it all pans out. There's no conspiracy here. There's no one that I'm secretly throwing my weight behind. I just hope we get more candidates in the field. I hope Trump focuses better on what his future message should be. And we're all just kind of on this journey to see how it all ends up. All right, guys, the next portion of the show is going to be available exclusively on Daily Wire+. I'm going to be answering your questions. And I'm going to take a case in my courtroom as Judge Candace. So if you are not a member yet, go ahead and click the link in the description and subscribe right now.
