During a discussion with misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ pastor Jesse Lee Peterson, Elijah Schaffer claimed that he will never employ, work with, or befriend women again. Schaffer, who was fired from a right-wing media outlet over accusations of sexual harassment and assault, blamed the “subversive nature” of women for his decision.

On the Apr. 22, 2024 episode of his Nightly Offensive show, Schaffer said that he and his wife were interested in having more children — particularly boys. Peterson, a longtime ally to white supremacists, implored Schaffer to have “as many white babies as possible” to prevent white people from becoming a minority.

“And I tremble at that idea, that white people will become the minority, because if they do it’s over for America,” Peterson warned. “Because if you really pay attention to people of color, they’re not innovative, they’re not motivated, they don’t really create stuff. They just follow behind the white people and they take their stuff, and they destroy.”

Schaffer told Peterson that he and his wife are “shooting for six” children, and pulled up a photo of his wife and young son. “I have a little blonde-hair, blue-eyed little Aryan king here,” Schaffer said of his son. “That’s the wife there. That’s on our family farm. And that’s the new baby goat.”

The word “Aryan” was used by the Nazis to refer to the German people, whom they believed to be the “master race.”

Things took an even weirder turn when Schaffer started to discuss marriage.

“I have a really, really excellent wife,” Schaffer said. “Why? Because she’s extremely submissive. And now feminists mock that. They’re like ‘Oh ’cause you’re a weak man, so you want a submissive wife?’ It’s like, no, ’cause I don’t wanna kill myself. That’s why I want a submissive wife.”

He went on to say that it’s “good for a woman to be submissive,” and he connected submissiveness to being a virgin.

“So I think that being a virgin is connected to being submissive in a marriage. Or at least making it natural. Is that true? Or is that — does virginity matter with women or does virginity not matter when it comes to choosing a spouse?” he asked.

Peterson replied that “100% it matters,” and that a “woman should be a virgin when she get[s] married.” He explained that a woman who is a virgin when she marries will be “more than happy to obey her husband and submit to her husband, and love what’s right. And she will have perfect peace.”

But Schaffer’s misogyny isn’t confined to his marriage either. As he informed Peterson, “I’ll never employ females again, or work with them or anything like that. I don’t even — I’ll never be friends with them because I’ve seen the subversive nature. You know, the ability — the desire to destroy, to tear down.”

And he complained that “when women are unruly and they’re not under the authority of a good — like a strong man” they “will blame successful men for their problems.”

Schaffer, of course, probably shouldn’t be working alongside women, but not because they’re “subversive” and “unruly.” In 2022, he was fired from The Blaze for allegedly drunkenly groping his colleague, Sara Gonzales, during the premiere of the right-wing film Uncle Tom II.

And last year, Sydney Watson, who once co-hosted a BlazeTV show with Schaffer, sued The Blaze for allegedly ignoring her complaints about Schaffer’s sexual harassment.
