Hey everybody, Michael here. If you have not gotten enough of my friend Candace Owens
00:00:42.080
by reading Cardi B's Twitter page, then you are going to want to stick around. I sat down with
00:00:47.960
Candace just a few days ago. We chatted about all things relevant to her life, to our culture,
00:00:58.120
ranging from our system of government and our politics, all the way to Meghan Markle,
00:01:03.220
who I suspect is probably going to try to take over our system of politics at some point.
00:01:08.500
So go check it out. We've got a fun interview with Candace. And also after that, be sure to check
00:01:13.420
out the first episode of the Candace show over at the Daily Wire.
00:01:23.800
I am joined now by my friend, Candace Owens. Candace, I can't help but notice, you are a woman,
00:01:33.920
I'm sorry, a woman of color. You are famous. You are American. You married a Brit. And yet,
00:01:43.300
you turned out great. What was your secret and where did Meghan Markle go wrong?
00:01:47.320
Meghan Markle went wrong a lot of ways. First and foremost, she is a Hollywood leftist. That's all
00:01:54.180
you need to know. You know what I mean? And this story, this whole, everyone was like,
00:01:59.380
why did you get into this? Why does this really get under your skin? Because I married an Englishman.
00:02:07.200
Is that like being a mechanic or something? I don't know. Is that like an electrician shop somewhere
00:02:14.300
And so it was definitely a learning curve for me, even when I met my husband, going to England.
00:02:20.220
And there's just like different sets of rules. Their society is very traditional.
00:02:24.400
And I was just, I loved it. I loved stepping into someone's culture and not trying to change it.
00:02:29.380
And this is the thing about the left that drives me crazy, is that they just have no appreciation for tradition.
00:02:34.340
They have no appreciation for history. It's why they think that everything between Los Angeles and New York
00:02:42.160
And yeah, the flyover, right? It needs a makeover. And for her to just do that, to go to this country
00:02:48.460
with all of their traditions and the queen, of course, being so significant, the meaning of her just to have
00:02:54.840
been sitting on the throne for that long and having decades.
00:03:00.140
Yes. And she has seen the country through so much. And to do what they did, just cheapen that and say,
00:03:05.120
well, it's racism. This is the reason we had to leave. It's racism. Meghan Markle, look black to you?
00:03:10.720
Did anybody look at her and say, oh, Harry's dating a black woman?
00:03:13.800
My mother, seriously, my Sicilian mother was much darker than Meghan Markle. You would have no idea.
00:03:19.740
She has that thing in Hollywood, they call it ethnically ambiguous, where you can play sort of any role.
00:03:24.460
Right. She could have played an Indian woman in films. She could have said that she, she could have said she was
00:03:28.680
mixed race. I would have bought that. She could have definitely said she was Italian. She has freckles.
00:03:32.720
You know, you could have just think that, you know, it's completely obscure. And yet she, she's like, you know,
00:03:37.540
I'm less than 25% black, but I've realized that because I'm getting bad press,
00:03:41.760
I can say the bad press is because I'm less than 25% black. Because there is this purity test.
00:03:46.700
Every time they write a hit piece, they say, well, is there any black in this person? Well,
00:03:49.820
that's the reason we're going to, we're going to write a horrible piece about them.
00:03:52.740
And especially being me, because I have a public profile. And as you know,
00:03:56.700
they have written so many bad things about me. Really nice things.
00:03:59.260
Really nice things. Like that time they accused me of a mosque, mosque shooting in New Zealand.
00:04:03.400
That's right. I've never been to New Zealand. I don't even write about mosques or Muslims or anything,
00:04:07.100
but they were like, Candace did this. I woke up, worldwide news. I have people in France,
00:04:11.260
like in China. And people were asking me for comments everywhere. And I don't think I have
00:04:15.760
ever once said this bad press is because I'm black. So it's just, it's such a, there's a cowardice.
00:04:22.260
And it's such an excuse. I saw there was a great headline in the Babylon Bee said,
00:04:26.120
Meghan Markle inspires millions of girls by showing that no matter how rich,
00:04:29.720
beautiful and famous you are, you too can be oppressed.
00:04:32.520
Right. She's oppressed. And she's sitting across from Oprah. You know what I mean? And she's,
00:04:36.340
they've been living in a, actually, I think at some point they were at Tyler Perry's $100 million
00:04:40.840
home somewhere flying on his planes. And you really want me to buy that you were chased out
00:04:45.800
of the country because I guess you were less than 25% black. And then the richest part of the story
00:04:50.620
is them claiming that Archie wasn't given a title because he was black. Has anyone seen a picture
00:04:56.040
of Archie? And I say this seriously, if you believe that Archie suffered anti-black racism,
00:05:00.920
then I'm a Nigerian prince and I just need your credit card details. And, uh, you're going to see
00:05:05.700
just look at a picture, right? Stranded Island. This, you know, I'm so glad to hear this is your
00:05:09.380
take on this because I have to say, I was a little frustrated. I understood it, but I was frustrated
00:05:13.280
with the conservative reaction to this, which is who cares about the Royal family? I stopped caring
00:05:19.620
about them in 1776. To me, that argument falls flat because the Royal family represents this long
00:05:28.600
conservative tradition in the United Kingdom. And to me, I think the reason the Meghan Markle story
00:05:35.140
has really got you excited, kind of excited a lot of us is because it's this awful sort of modern
00:05:41.580
millennial idea that everything in the past is bad and wicked and racist is the word for that.
00:05:48.880
And I, no matter what privileges I have, we all are so privileged. I am actually a victim and you
00:05:54.220
all need to feel bad for me. And the minute that I can't do exactly what I want to do,
00:05:58.980
this woman chose to marry into the Royal family. It's not like it was a blind date.
00:06:03.620
It's not like on the third date, Harry said, Oh, you know, darling, I have something I have to tell
00:06:06.920
you. I haven't told you about my job yet, but, uh, you know, she didn't, it's not as though she
00:06:11.480
thought his first name were Prince, you know, like the musician, right? She knows who he is.
00:06:18.240
Oh, you know what's up? She said she never Googled him. No, no. They got, when he got down
00:06:22.560
on one knee, that's when she was like, Oh my gosh, he's a Prince. And she found out it was
00:06:26.520
Princess Diana. And even that is so absurd. Michael, I Google everyone. I'll get into a
00:06:30.980
car with an Uber driver and I'll be like, what's your name? Just check this background here and make
00:06:34.420
sure things are okay. You're going to tell me you wanted a date and you didn't Google, you didn't
00:06:37.500
LinkedIn profile. This is what we do. Like this is, and especially her who a big piece of story
00:06:42.080
that's missing. She went to the UK with the intention of marrying up. She had a PR person
00:06:46.620
who wrote an entire piece. She hired a public relations firm to try to get, um, to start
00:06:52.520
dating a football player. So that was her thing. She was like, okay, they found a football player.
00:06:57.500
Right, exactly. And she landed on a Prince. And you know, Piers Morgan, who I really can't
00:07:00.820
stand, but he talks about how he reached out to her and she kept saying she wanted to get
00:07:04.160
involved in the circles because it just wasn't working for her in America. It wasn't working for her
00:07:07.680
in Canada. So she was like, okay, let me try, let me try England. But she had no idea.
00:07:12.080
Who Prince Harry or Prince William or Kate Middleton, she just missed that whole thing.
00:07:18.780
Did you see what she described herself as? Because we should talk about that.
00:07:21.640
I didn't watch the interview, but she said she felt like the little mermaid who fell in
00:07:30.840
Just trying to think of a straight face like she did. Let me try. I felt like, you know,
00:07:35.780
the little mermaid who went over and found a prince and fell in love and lost my voice.
00:07:41.700
It's just as believable as you say this on air, of course. My favorite part, as she's
00:07:47.840
saying these sorts of things, occasionally Harry would try to say, well, you notice she
00:07:52.700
says, shh, get out of here. Harry, stop it. Don't listen to it. Camera on me, folks.
00:07:57.800
Oh, she's so unbearable. And again, I'm glad you brought up the fact that a lot of conservatives
00:08:02.100
were so dismissive. I hate that because, you know, we so often talk about how the left is
00:08:07.460
ignorant, right? To not try to understand what it is about the royals that is so significant.
00:08:12.920
It is not just like, oh, I'll praise them because they're kings and queens and princesses. It
00:08:18.240
really isn't about that. What they represent is history, right? And that is what they love
00:08:23.560
about them is that these people, they never issue political statements. They don't just
00:08:26.720
go where the wind blows. And there is something about Americans, even the conservative Americans,
00:08:31.020
that we have this strand of progressivism because, listen, look, our country was built on that,
00:08:35.140
right? We were built on kind of tearing down traditions. And sometimes, yes, traditions
00:08:38.800
need to be torn down. But where we're at today, where you have no appreciation for anything,
00:08:44.020
and that is why hashtag abolish, you know, which they're so dumb to like abolish the monarchy
00:08:48.440
as if the monarchy has any power anymore. But and actually abolish the royal family is where
00:08:53.400
we're at because they just want everything torn down, newer, faster, and they want the world
00:08:57.780
to look like whatever Hollywood singers and actresses think that it ought to look like.
00:09:02.220
Well, this was it. It's sort of this woman seemed that she wanted to play a Disney princess
00:09:08.840
more than she wanted to be an actual princess. And how true is that of so much of our society?
00:09:15.380
You know, Edmund Burke, the great conservative philosopher, his big distinction between the
00:09:19.960
American Revolution and the French Revolution was that the American Revolution was kind of
00:09:24.380
conservative. It didn't destroy everything, right? Whereas the French Revolution really did
00:09:28.180
destroy everything. And so there was always this sense in America that we want to really,
00:09:33.200
we want to be the real thing. You know, there is a kind of tradition here. And we didn't want to
00:09:40.140
become this really shallow, abstracted culture that unfortunately, it seems like we're becoming.
00:09:47.100
And you know, you hear so often from conservatives, we need to take back the culture. We need to fight
00:09:51.820
back in the culture. Well, you know, in order to do that, we're going to need to get really serious.
00:09:57.500
And we're not, we're going to have to start saying like, no, don't do that. That's a, that is a bad
00:10:01.940
thing. You know, we need to defend an older set of standards.
00:10:05.780
Right. I think too often we meet people in the middle and it's such an easy game, but there's,
00:10:11.100
wait, there's actually an expression that you used to talk about when it, what is the Overton theory,
00:10:16.060
Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what the left is doing. It's brilliant, right? They're just,
00:10:18.660
they say something so extreme, like here we are. And they say something so extreme that they're
00:10:23.580
like, men can give birth. I'm like, no, they can't, no, they can't. But eventually we say,
00:10:27.520
okay, please don't say that. We'll meet you halfway. And now we're edging closer to where they are.
00:10:30.860
You know how we do this. We always, we always say, look, men, men can't give birth, right? Men are
00:10:34.500
not women. But then we start edging in this way when we'll start saying so-and-so is a biological male.
00:10:42.500
He's not like, he's not like a psychological woman, but it's just,
00:10:45.720
it's just one thing. But because we start to be conciliatory, guess what? You look up 10 years
00:10:53.340
And that's what's happened. That's literally what's happened, especially in this last decade,
00:10:56.560
is that we just keep meeting them halfway. But the halfway is also, it's always moving towards
00:11:00.760
their ridiculously far left point. And I think that there needs to be more. People say to me,
00:11:05.260
oh, Candace, you're so far right. I'm like, actually, I'm just right. Right? I'm just right.
00:11:08.760
I'm actually almost in the middle because you guys have gone so crazy.
00:11:12.260
10 years ago, you would have been considered a centrist.
00:11:15.020
A centrist. A normal human being. Like, you know, when we accepted that men and women
00:11:19.760
were men and women, and now you're actually being called a bigot. I mean, yesterday,
00:11:24.420
International Women's Day, the ACLU tweets about saying, you know, trans women are women.
00:11:30.020
On International Women's Day, you said, men are women.
00:11:35.220
The trans woman, it means man, right? This is a different word for man. So you just tweeted out,
00:11:40.280
in order to celebrate women, let me tell you how much men can be women.
00:11:43.540
You know, though, you're being modest here. And this is actually something I'm very excited for
00:11:46.600
about your show, Candace, right, which is launching, is that you, right, you're just saying
00:11:52.060
sort of normal things. And I don't think anything you're saying is extreme. But most people do not
00:11:57.660
have the cojones to do it. Talking about men and women. Most people don't have the guts to do it.
00:12:03.280
And you, I don't know what it is, because we've been friends for years. You know, I remember you
00:12:08.660
back in the old timey days on YouTube. And you, more than just about anybody, have been able to
00:12:17.320
withstand this onslaught from the left and throw it back in their face and not let them cancel you.
00:12:24.000
And it's really, I don't know how you've done it.
00:12:27.140
I just hope that I show people that there's no consequence, you know, for telling the truth.
00:12:31.820
And you just say it. Say it again. Say it again. Say it again. They can only cancel you so many
00:12:36.100
times, right? Once they went to, once I survived, like, being accused of a mosque shooting in New
00:12:40.920
Zealand, I was like, okay, well, where do we go from here? What else are you going to accuse me of
00:12:44.040
here, right? And so I think that I've just bounced back and I've been unapologetic, which is the most
00:12:49.660
important thing. Don't say sorry. Don't say sorry. Because once you start saying sorry to the left,
00:12:54.340
you will never stop saying sorry to the left, right? Because it's not about them needing an
00:12:58.660
apology. They want pure capitulation. They want to make sure you capitulate to everything they say.
00:13:03.900
What they're seeking, actually, is their own kind of monarchy, right? Like, they're seeking to rule
00:13:08.340
over you, your opinions, your ideas. And their established church.
00:13:11.280
Exactly. That is their established church. They seek for you to be their peasants. And the second you say
00:13:15.840
sorry, you become that. So I just say, don't say sorry.
00:13:18.400
Speaking of the church, I mean, this is something I've really struggled with. I think you're completely
00:13:21.320
right. But look, as a Christian, I want to apologize when I feel I've done something wrong. I have no
00:13:28.680
problem doing that. To, oh, miserable sinner that I am, I really don't mind it. Except I know that's not
00:13:35.260
really what it is. That's not, when you apologize to the left, it's not, first of all, they're not
00:13:41.280
seeking that in good faith. It's beating a dog into submission.
00:13:43.800
Yes. That is what it is. It's sort of, it's unfortunate. Because I'd love to be in a society
00:13:48.360
where I'd say, oh, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Sorry.
00:13:50.320
Yeah, exactly. And, you know, it's funny, because I did an interview the other day, and they said
00:13:54.320
to me, sort of in preparation for the show, like, is there anything that you look back on in the past
00:13:59.560
that you're sorry for? Like, things that you've tweeted and things of that nature. And I said,
00:14:03.000
no. And I said, because I want to give permission to people that are following me to know that
00:14:07.420
you're allowed to change your mind. Yeah. Remember this thing where I used to grow up? Like, you
00:14:11.560
know, a long time ago, I used to think Barbies were the coolest thing, and then all day, society
00:14:15.260
should be run by us playing Barbies in the room. That was Candace at four years old. Am I allowed
00:14:19.140
to evolve from that position without apologizing for my past? Well, I love it. You know, people throw
00:14:23.400
this at you a lot. They'll say, you used to be left wing, but now you're conservative. Ha ha, I got you.
00:14:28.900
Yeah. I got a couple of brain cells. I opened a book. You know what I mean? I opened
00:14:32.880
a book, and I'm like, it's just so ridiculous. And what is so alarming about that sort of
00:14:37.920
a culture, like, forget us. Like, we're adults. We're old. We have kids now, right?
00:14:41.000
Yeah, we're old, man. We're old people now. I'm trying to get fat, too.
00:14:43.880
But think about kids. I'm already old, but I want to be old and fat.
00:14:45.620
Think about kids. How hard it is to be a kid today when you are being told that if you
00:14:50.580
make a mistake, you're done. You're over. You're canceled. You know, you say one wrong
00:14:54.840
thing. When I was a kid, we didn't have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, so I could just be a
00:14:58.280
crappy human being for one day and say horrible things, and then the next day be like, oh, you know,
00:15:01.600
that didn't feel too good. I'm going to be someone different today. And I was allowed
00:15:04.060
to grow. That's what growing up is. You learn because you do things wrong. Even toddlers.
00:15:07.740
They're violent toddlers. They're throwing things down. You know what I mean?
00:15:10.860
Violent human beings. They think through things, and they just, they choose violence every
00:15:14.700
Even my cute little newborn, you know, he'll throw punches at me.
00:15:17.760
Same. Yeah, same thing. And it's like, now the left is like, you are exactly who you are
00:15:21.980
when you are two is when you are four. Candace, when Candace, three years ago in politics,
00:15:25.780
I've pretty much grown up politically, you know, has to, you know, make apologies or make
00:15:30.240
a men's, no. If I said it then, I meant it then. But if I transform my opinion, here's
00:15:36.320
That's right. That's right. You know, if I had social media when I was 11 or 12.
00:15:46.340
Because that stuff is there forever. But I love it because it takes a lot of gumption
00:15:49.000
to be able to say, yeah, oh, I thought this thing a few years ago. Yeah. And now, guess
00:15:52.120
what? I've matured. I've educated myself. Maybe that's something we can all do as a culture
00:15:57.400
as well. You know, one great way people can do that? Tuning in to Candace on The
00:16:01.680
Yellow Wire. I can't wait. It's going to be fabulous. I'm so excited for the show.
00:16:05.020
Yeah. I'll be issuing tons of non-apologies when people are offended. I will the next day.
00:16:09.040
I mean, even seeing that tail in between the legs, copy and paste an apology that so many
00:16:13.640
people do. Like, you know, like they say one thing and then it's suddenly like the next
00:16:16.720
day on their show, they're like, you know, I want to apologize for some things that I
00:16:20.560
said that made perfect sense. But I hear you that you're offended. So therefore, we're all
00:16:25.440
growing. And it's just like, shut up. Just say, I'm sorry you were offended. Yeah. And
00:16:29.580
maybe don't watch my show. There have been a few times where there's been a lot of pressure
00:16:33.880
to give the apology. And I think there's an old Sicilian expression. It's just a little
00:16:37.300
flick underneath your chin. That's what I think about it. My dear, I can't wait for the show
00:16:42.500
to start. Everybody's got to tune in and watch it. Candace on The Daily Wire. I will be eagerly
00:16:47.880
watching it just from right across the way. And I'll see you around the office water cooler.
