Everybody has that list. The things you know you should get around to eventually. Organizing the garage, updating important documents, taking care of long-term financial planning.

Am I misogynistic, leftist blondie?

Leftist Blondie (1:40)

I think you're misogynistic for many different reasons.

Emily Saves America (1:43)

I like seeing hot, white women.

Justice Hope Kuehl (1:46)

I'm not going to cheer that people are watching more straight pornography than gay pornography.

Tilly Middlehurst (1:50)

It is fundamentally hypocritical of Michael to applaud a naked advertisement as a step toward a conservative America.

Michael Knowles (1:56)

I got in big trouble the other day, and not just with my wife, with you, the beloved audience, because Sydney Sweeney made a sports commercial, and in it, she was not wearing very much clothing and she was covering various parts of herself with footballs and basketballs and things like that. And I pointed out that the Sydney Sweeney half naked, pro gambling commercial is actually probably on the whole a positive development in our culture. I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm not saying that we're pro nudity or gambling or any of the like, but given where the culture was, I said there was probably a change generally in the right direction. I was pilloried, ripped apart in the comment section.

The Libs are upset, the Feminists are upset, the Conservatives and the Trads are upset. I decided I needed to invite a bunch of women on to tell me why I'm wrong. And those women are Tilly Middlehurst, Leftist Blondie, welcome back to the program, Emily Saves America here as always, and Justice Hope Kuehl. Ladies, thank you for being on. Wonderful to be with. Thank you all for wearing clothing by the way, because that's a big part of the controversy here. I just want to go down the line.

Sydney Sweeney commercial, love it, hate it, think it's kind of bad but generally good for the culture. Wear right down the line. What's your opinion? Leftist Blondie.

Leftist Blondie (3:29)

Sure.

Well, I suppose you made this comment about thank you for wearing clothes. I think, however, your opinion would be that if we didn't, it would be some great move for conservativism. But I think that when we have to start out by saying, my culture is not your costume, Michael, I don't get to blow up sexual liberation just to own the libs. It goes completely against your Catholic doctrine, I think, first of all. The left's job, as far as the Feminists and the Liberals being upset, is to critique systems that they think are harmful, and that's what they're doing. Now, they're doing it for the wrong reasons, I believe, and we can talk about that later. But I do think that the real harm in this that people are overlooking is the promotion and the weaponizing of women's bodies as objects for class and for money and for gambling. So I think that's the real issue, and we can, you know, fill that to that.

Michael Knowles (4:18)

The male gaze. Now, just one point in response to what you said. You said, Michael, I'm surprised, given your opinion of the Sydney Sweeney ad, that you aren't encouraging us all to be naked. No, no, no, that would be a bad change for my show.
