ANDREW KLAVAN (HOST): I'm going to be blunt about this, and I'm gonna talk in member block. I'm going to talk a little bit more about Candace and what's going on with TPUSA. I don't think people should debate Candace Owens. I mean, I don't think it should be forbidden. I just don't think it's useful. I think the things that she is saying are completely baseless. That is my take on them. I've listened to them carefully. I think most of what she's saying is baseless about TPUSA and a lot of other things as well.
But the reason I don't think you can debate Nick Fuentes — people are always saying to me, debate Nick Fuentes. And I always think, what's the debate? Is the debate, is hate better than love? I mean, because he goes on shows and he says, I'm not a bigot. I'm not a bigot. You know? He is. He's an open racist, which is fine. You know? Let him be an open racist, but I have nothing to say to that. Because the question about racism is not whether the races are different, it's whether the races deserve equal treatment and love. That's the question. And if you don't believe that, I don't know what to say to you. You know? I have no argument against that. You know? I'm just like, how can I tell you that — why love is better than hate or freedom is better than slavery or a woman is not a man? There's no way to tell you that. Those are things you just have to know. And Nick doesn't know them in my opinion, and I don't think — and Candace, I fear for that woman, truly. I fear for her soul because I think something's wrong with her. But, like, you know, how how do I know?
So I don't think they should debate them at all. You know, I don't know why they decide — they did say they would debate her, and then they said, we won't debate you except in person. I don't know what their considerations were. I would have second thoughts. I have told people who have said they would debate her. I've told them that don't do it, because you have to have — what is a debate? A debate is two people who know something, who have expertise in something, debating to try and find the the best answer. You have to be willing to lose a debate to debate well. You have to know something to debate well, and you have to be willing to accept, you know, listen to other people. And I don't think these people qualify for that, and so I don't think you should debate them at all.

:{:{ANDREW KLAVAN (HOST): You know, I think that racism, for instance, tribalism, let's say, isn't one of the ways that we have evolved to deal with threats to ourselves, to our people, and to the, you know, culture that we're in. I think that the modern world — even if you look at World War II, after all that death, people came home and had babies. That's where the baby boom comes from. But I think that the problem is the modern world has detached us from necessity. And so our evolutionary systems for self-preservation don't always go off, and sometimes we have to warn people that this stuff is happening.}:
But next to finagling us — this is the reason I see, and this is where I disagree with The Wall Street Journal on the causes of the baby dearth, is that, to my mind, next to finagling us out of our founding religion, the greatest triumph of the left, the anti-West, anti-freedom left, is that by commandeering the reasonable complaints of feminism for their own purposes — as I've said, feminism is now just leftism in a skirt. Everything. You know, all the — our attempts — you know, civil rights are just leftism in blackface. That's all it is. You know, every single movement in America that ceases to — that attempts to deal with the problem is immediately taken over by the left and put to the service a bigger government. That doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist.
It means we're using the wrong solution, and they're not really solving the problem. I don't think that they have done anything. I don't think the left has done anything for Black people, literally nothing for Black people. They've made their life worse. I think the Democrat Party is a cancer on the lives of Black people, and I think that, you know, they take over civil rights to install — again, it's— the idea is to get their their brilliant elite utopian ideas in power and make sure that nobody else has anything to say.}:

Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan: “If every woman in Congress went home, the world would run fine.”

ANDREW KLAVAN (HOST): Megyn Kelly reminded me — I was talking to her yesterday on her show. She is absolutely great, by the way. She has such a great show. And she reminded me of this wonderful clip of Drew Barrymore, who now has a talk show, talking to Kamala Harris.
...
KLAVAN: Now, I happen to love Drew Barrymore. When I work out at the gym, she's always on the TV above me, and you don't hear the sound, but you can just see she kind of personifies — she's like all of Hollywood distilled into a single human being. She lives in a completely solipsistic, self-interested fantasy world, and she sells this to the women in her audience.
In fact, over at The American Mind, a really good site, Peachy Keenan has collected all the reports of what a screaming witch Kamala Harris is.
Klavan refers to The American Mind, which is a publication of Project 2025 partner organization the Claremont Institute.

:{:{ANDREW KLAVAN (DAILY WIRE HOST): Now, I don't believe in making great generalities about things — what they call totalizing principles, like life is about this or society is about this. But sometimes, it's kinda like being the blind man with the elephant, you're only seeing one side of it. But sometimes that helps. Sometimes you're just taking a look at one side of things, and that's what I'm gonna do now. There is a sense in which the central purpose of every society is to figure out the distribution of women because women are valuable. They're valuable not just for their company and for their way of looking at things and for sex, which is a lot of fun, but also because they are the only path there is to continuing your genetic inheritance. That is the way it is. When men want women on this kind of basic animalistic, just life level, to reproduce.}:
Right? So the most obvious way to distribute women is to give all the women to the strongest man. Right? So you get — reproduce from the strongest person. That's the way gorillas — many gorillas, silverbacks live. The one guy gets all the girls. And the problem with that is it sounds like a good idea, but it's unstable because, obviously, all the other guys finally get think to themselves, oh, I know what we'll do. We'll get together and we'll kill the main guy, the alpha guy, and we'll steal the woman. And that's why those governments are unstable. That's how you get Magna Carta where the aristocrats, the most powerful people, go to the king and say, we want power too. That is, kind of, the human way of acting out that gorilla system. Ultimately, other men want women.}:
When you have a democracy, the best system is monogamy. Right? One per customer. Everybody gets a woman. And it sounds like that means that weak people will be allowed to breed, but it turns out it's actually a pretty good system because it favors diversity. Because a lot of times, the smartest guy in the room and the strongest guy in the room are two entirely different people. So you want the strongest guy to reproduce, but you also want the smartest guy to reproduce, and that is how humanity advances. In fact, monogamy, one per customer, is a really good basis for a society. However, it goes against the gorilla code, and the gorilla code is written into our DNA. We're somehow related. I'm not saying we evolved from gorillas, but we're related to them. We're not that far away from them. The men want lots of women, so the strongest man wants all the women, and the women want the strongest man. That is the way evolution has designed us.
So the strong have to take back the women. They want to take back the women from a system that is free. A system that is free is going to be a monogamous system. That's the way that works because it is the best system for freedom. It means everybody gets something. Right? All the women get a man. All the men get a woman — as close as we can come to that. The strong want to take women back, and they have to do it through — because it's a free system, they can't do it by force. They might want to, but they can't. They have to do it by lies. And there are two big lies they want to tell them. One is your husband is a no goodnik. He's a pain in the ass, and he's bossing you around. That's the first lie. And that lie is probably not a lie. It's probably true on some days at least. But the big lie that the government wants to tell you, that the people who want the power concentrated all in one place to get all the women, they want to tell you is that women can take care of themselves. And women hate the idea that they can't take care of themselves, but women cannot take care of themselves. They're smaller, weaker. Men are stronger. Men are mean. They're more aggressive. They will take them over. They'll do it anytime they can, anywhere they can. They will abuse them. They will hurt them. Women have to come up with different strategies for survival than men do. Right? Men buff up, they get tough, they study karate, they learn how to fight. Women can do all those things, and they still there still is going to be a man who can take them down. Women have to find different ways of being safe, and one of those ways is finding a man to protect them.
