I thought to myself in the workplace.
What about that one?
Are we a distraction?
Do you guys think we're a distraction?
And the more I thought about it, I thought, yeah,
we kind of are a distraction?
>> Working woman Candace Owens makes the argument that women in
the workplace are a distraction.
Now this is a recycled grift.
If you will, we have heard from individuals on the right people like
Phyllis Schlafly for instance.
Who literally had a career was making money outside of the kitchen
while simultaneously arguing that women should not be working,
should not be earning money.
And apparently Candace Owens is going along with that recycled grift.
Now let's, get to the next video.
She collaborates in this clip and then we'll probably make fun of her.
>> If you think about work in general, if you think about what men have to do when
they go to work now, it's essentially just a bunch of landmines right?
Once upon a time it was a man's world.
Yes, I agree.
And by the way, I want to make it clear, I am not making an argument that women
should not have the right to work and should be relegated to the household.
I'm not saying that whatsoever, but I am acknowledging that things
have gotten worse at work since women joined since women joined the workforce.
I think that men are having to deal with all these landmines everywhere.
Do I say something?
Do I not say something?
Got to be careful in how I speak to this person because she's a woman,
she might see this as some sort of an assault.
Do I tell her she looks nice today or she's gonna think that's inappropriate,
especially in a post me too era, forget it.
Do I say anything to her?
Well, if I don't say anything to her?
Well, she's gonna say that I'm ignoring her because I'm a man.
If I say something to her, she's gonna say, I'm always speaking to her.
Because I mean, I couldn't even imagine the internal dialogue that men must be
having at work at all times.
>> I'm not saying that women shouldn't have the right to work.
I'm just saying that women in the workplace really sucks.
>> Yeah. >> And is a huge problem.
And these poor men, I mean, they just what are they supposed to do?
They just don't know how to act.
Except I don't know.
I mean, there are plenty of men in the workplace who handle
women in the workplace perfectly fine.
>> Yeah, so I'm gonna explain why she's saying this in a second, but
I want to break down a couple of things she said first.
She said women at work are our distraction.
Look at the assumption there.
>> What are you wearing right now?
>> I know, thanks for that.
>> Your sleeves are a distraction.
>> Okay.
>> Okay, so I had to get it out.
>> Okay, that's all right.
I'm gonna ask her to make me a sandwich later.
So it's okay.
So look, what does that assume that assumes men should be working?
And women are a distraction to the men doing all the work, right?
It doesn't assume women have an equal right to work and
that men are a distraction, right?
No, it assumes men are in charge, it should be in charge.
And we let a couple of these little ladies in here.
But there man, they've caused a lot of problems.
Okay, because they're so distracting because men are apparently animals
who can't contain themselves and as soon as they see a woman etc, right?
So second of all,
she says things have gotten worse at work since women have been allowed it.
All right, let's break that down.
Number one, not remotely true every charter productivity
shows that the American worker has gotten more productive almost every year.
So it's a graph that looks like this.
It just keeps going up up by the way, you want to know why, because they're,
one of the reasons is because there's now the workforce is pretty much doubled.
Because since corporations have crushed us all and our wages are so low,
both the man and the woman have to work just to survive, right?
And so America has become much more productive since women have entered
the workforce.
That's actually a fact.
Every economist in the world knows that but she's pretending.
>> Right. >> That women at work have made it worse.
>> Cenk, but you're making the mistake of thinking that she's
talking about women at the workplace, making productivity worse.
That is not what she's concerned about.
Okay, productivity not a concern for Candace Owens.
She gives an example of what she is concerned about though, okay.
And that weirdly happens to be company christmas parties, let's watch.
>> This year, the Daily Wire had a christmas party and I didn't go for
separate reasons, but I found out that the christmas party was dry and
immediately in my head, I didn't say this out loud.
What I'm saying out loud now, I thought to myself, why is it a dry party?
What, who ruined it?
Right, [LAUGH] who ruined it?
Why is there a dry christmas party?
Everybody knows christmas parties are not supposed to be dry, supposed to get, have
a great time with all of your colleagues, everyone gets ridiculously drunk.
And it's the one time of year that you can do that all of your work all year and
then you look forward to the holiday season.
So that you and all of the office employees and
office colleagues can get drunk, but no, now, similar Daily Wire,
a bunch of corporations are saying, let's not do that.
Why are they saying?
Let's not do that?
I don't know for sure, but probably because they're avoiding traps, right.
>> Maybe they're doing it because getting your workers sloshed and
potentially hurt if they drink and drive or
that might be a liability for the employer, I don't know.
I could be wrong.
Maybe Candace Owens theory is more accurate than mine.
I don't know.
>> Well, there's another layer to it too.
She's assuming that in the good old days everybody would get drunk and
then the men would hit on the women and try to have sex with them,
even though they were coworkers or worked underneath.
>> That the good old days.
Good old days, by the way, she says, who ruined it?
She says, what's the point she's making is women
ruined it by not being sexually assaulted anymore.
So it was the men, who get drunk and then hit on women or sexually accost woman or
threaten to fire women if they don't sleep with them.
It's not the poor guy's fault.
It's the woman's fault for being there.
How dare she?
Now she's both a distraction and a landmine.
But she says, no, I'm not saying they don't have a right to work.
I'm just saying that they make work way worse than Candace, what are you doing?
You're literally at work now, why don't you shut up and go home?
>> You're making the men uncomfortable Candace.
>> Your distraction, you're a land mine go home, make me a sandwich.
That's your goddamn job.
Now, do I think that?
No, but you think that you just did a whole segment about that,
then make me a sandwich Candace, make me a goddamn sandwich.
And I'll tell you exactly how to make it and know your goddamn role Candace, okay.
It's not my ideology, it's your ideology and we just watched it.
You're a lunatic.
But no, wait, I will actually retract that.
That's not true.
She's not a lunatic.
She knows exactly what she's doing.
Why does she do a video like this against herself, right?
The reason is she knows her audience.
Her audience is all men know,
no reasonable woman is gonna watch this insane drivel that's coming out and
the right wing is almost all men that watch these kind of shows, right?
And it's not just men, it's the worst kind of men, right?
So she knows that audience is gonna eat that up.
Yeah, it's all women's fault.
Where work has only gotten worse as women got their, it's their fault,
they distracted me.
That's why I cost them again.
Candace is so right.
And what is Candace whole job anyway, I mean, here's the irony of ironies.
Her job is to betray everything that's part of her identity.
>> Yep. >> So
her main focus has been attacking black people.
I'm black, but I'll tell you black people suck, my God, their culture sucks.
They don't work hard enough, they're criminals, etc.
She gets paid to betray her own.
And what else is she?
She's a woman.
So somebody told her, hey go out there and tell everybody how much women suck and
we'll pay you for it and she's you're gonna pay me for it.
Great, that's what I do anyway.
She said she's a betrayer.
>> I mean considering that the Daily Wire was willing to
pay Steven Crowder $50 million over four years.
Apparently it pays to put out propaganda against yourself I guess.
[LAUGH] I mean.
>> Yeah, I mean that's all she gets paid for.
She doesn't get paid for cogent arguments.
She, what is she known for?
She known for?
Hey, her work, her idea on workers rights or
how to help the average American get a higher wage or healthcare.
No, she's known for attacking black people and attacking women.
So this is exactly what she gets paid for by the way, Daily Wire,
you should be super proud that you employ this kind of person by the way.
You pay her to attack women and attack black people.
And by the way recently attack Jews.
>> Yes. >> Great job and
you see that potshot that at her own employer.
I guarantee you soon.
The drama is coming, okay.
We talked about it in the Crowder's story, right?
Because this is what happens, everybody's a grifter and
in the right wing it's Grifter central.
It's Grifter incorporated.
They're gonna tear each other to shreds soon.
Okay, so you start a hate factory.
Don't be surprised when hate shows up
