Candace Cameron Bure ( ) joins Jemele to discuss the Housewives of New Jersey scandal, her new book, and why she thinks Joe Rogan should have been fired. Plus, she gives us the inside scoop on the latest Housewife drama, and explains why she believes Tucker Carlson should be fired, too.
00:00:00.000All right, you guys, the internet asked, and I am totally delivering on this Thursday. You're not going to believe who I have in studio. Right from the grocery aisles, Ian Carroll, who is blowing up. Do not, you're just not going to want to miss this conversation. Welcome back to Candace.
00:00:15.100I can't believe you're here in the flesh. I just, this is amazing. I, I, you're taller. Actually, I thought you were taller. I have to say that. You've got good senses. Yeah. As the internet's been finding out.
00:00:39.680I was like, I feel like Ian Carroll's tall. And I was correct on that. Yeah. Okay. So much to unpack. But first and foremost, there are a thousand things people want us to get into and about because we are basically kind of on the same train, I would say. I also love that you're from the left. Yeah. And because there's this moment happening where people are kind of getting closer to the middle and realizing some things, I think everyone's become a little bit more moderate and less enthused with Democrats or Republicans.
00:01:08.360Before we get into more serious stuff, I do have to bring up just to honor that, listen to this show, the house and habit saga that you have been drafted into and nobody knows why. Where were you and what were you doing when you got hit by a house and habit newsletter?
00:01:26.640Um, I don't remember where I was or what I was doing. Didn't really register that much. I got a text message cause I don't check my emails and I got a, Oh, I do remember who sent it to me. It was, it was like, like a aunt that adopted me sort of that mess. He's like, did you see what house and habit said in her newsletter? It's like, I, and I was like, no, I didn't. And I eventually I went and checked it out once. I think it was actually, once you started talking about, I was like, maybe I should see what she said in her newsletter.
00:01:51.180Yeah. And it was just so out of left field because I've, I've treated her as nothing but nice. I really enjoyed her. I saw her as like a friend in the industry, had her on podcasts multiple times. Um, Oh, I didn't know this.
00:02:02.620Yeah. Yeah. So I, I like guest host on a podcast called the club Maha podcast. And we had had her in, I think two or three times as like a guest host, just like hanging out, talking, talking smack and just having a good time. And I had no understanding that I was a bad person. Um, and I think the first dig was like about like boys, like it was about the Joe Rogan interview and about boys sort of like running the narrative or something. I forget exactly what she said in it, but it kind of was like water off the back, whatever. This is weird. Um, and then I started
00:02:32.600to follow what you were doing and partway through, which is what I said in the video I post that became really controversial is partway through your video that first dug it open. I realized that I knew this Emily Hagan that you were talking about. And I just put two and two together and was like, what is going on? Right. And I immediately went to her Instagram and watched like an hour of stories and it was, yeah, game over. Totally insane. I, and it really was so accidental. And I had the exact same feeling going into it as I'd been nothing but nice to Jessica Reed Kraut.
00:03:02.580I did a podcast in January. I did a podcast in January. Then I look, Tucker also got sideswept for no reason. He similarly had her backstage at one of his events. And then suddenly there's this newsletter. And what bothered me about it was just how it was fundamentally dishonest is how I felt like saying, trying to pretend that Tucker or instill this, instill this idea that Tucker is somehow being pushed by the Iranians, Iranian propaganda.
00:03:28.240Well, I'm being pushed by Qatar. So, you know, you've got to have a new thing, a Middle Eastern country to back all of us.
00:03:34.380Yeah. And then she also totally just lied in the newsletter saying that you didn't credit Whitney Webb. I mean, you fell over yourself to credit her everywhere, even on X, when Whitney Webb said you got it wrong, crediting her on Joe Rogan.
00:03:47.820And you did this long thread saying everyone should buy her book. And this is where I learned so much. And she's done so much research.
00:03:53.560And I'm going, what actually was the purpose of this newsletter other than to destroy relationships, go after allies or because somebody was explicitly asking you in the background to do it. But what ensued, I think, on Instagram after was very real housewives.
00:04:08.740And I just did not see it coming for her to be so vitriolic towards what should have just been political banter and trying to understand what was happening.
00:04:18.160But then there was another layer of it where you and I have discussed this now off camera.
00:04:24.160It is a totally dishonest for her to be telling people right now that or to be pretending like she's this ally to RFK.
00:04:30.600She has said a lot of things about RFK and blackmail and the things that she knows about his relationships.
00:04:40.340And I know we're both trying to be careful not to put out too much, but it's quite serious.
00:04:47.360And it's coming from all directions. And so it was during that, watching your video, and then I paused and went to Emily Hagan's Instagram feed.
00:04:55.300And so your video had just dropped an hour or two ago. And that had inspired people that I knew in my network that had been in Maha, that had been in MAGA, people that have a decade plus in this industry to reach out to me and be like, I know more about the situation.
00:05:10.340This is what happened. And some of them were about things that House and Habit, that Jessica Reed Krause had said during the campaign to them while drinking, things like that, that like it is hearsay.
00:05:19.180But it's also like from very reliable people of direct interactions with her saying things that you should never be saying out loud about anyone unless you want to spread horrible information about them.
00:05:31.580And so I'm trying very hard not to spread room because a lot of his rumors of accusations of that person's a plant or that person slept with that person or that person's doing that thing.
00:05:40.960And it's like, I don't think that we need to be spreading rumors about specifics about people because unless you have smoking guns, that is extremely complicated to unpack.
00:05:49.920But the totality of the evidence from people like from everyone from like Maha moms to people in the MAGA campaign to people that were on Kennedy's direct campaign around him stuff about everyone involved and everyone has their own stories and their own theories.
00:06:06.540And it's not clear which theories are exactly right, but you start to get a sense of what the picture probably is.
00:06:14.940And the thing that I keep coming back to is that it would be, and you did a great job of this on your show the other day, is that it would be weirder for there not to be campaigns targeting Bobby than for there to be something targeting Bobby.
00:06:26.660You would be a fool to think that there are not black male operations targeting him and trying to get control of him as they have done to every Kennedy in the history of Kennedys.
00:06:35.420So the totality of the evidence that there is some layer of control, which is not a new thought, that's not some breaking news.
00:06:44.020It's the breaking news was that the greatest unforced error in the history of like, I mean, I'm being facetious, but like House and Habits unforced error here is out of control.
00:06:54.160Like, A, you didn't need to start this drama.
00:06:57.880And then C, you didn't need to, like, do every single thing she's done since then has just felt more and more like we're not, she's not being honest about what her real role is here.
00:07:07.740And I, like, I don't know, I was hoping she would just come forth and say, I was drunk last night and it was stupid, but she just keeps going.
00:07:14.620So I don't think we can just blame it on the alcohol.
00:07:17.720Although she started blaming other people for their alcohol consumption.
00:07:19.940Which is, was very vitriolic, except what she was doing to Denise was wrong and I pointed that out to her.
00:07:25.180But I do want to make sure people understand because you can go a thousand different ways.
00:07:28.720You can go Real Housewives, you can go fight, you know, with the fights between.
00:07:31.300None of that really matters other than to state that there is very serious allegations about RFK Jr.
00:07:36.360And the emails that we have received, and I'm just like you where I want to be very careful because you don't want to just be putting out things that don't have any heavy consequence.
00:07:44.860Because then you're actually hurting him and we all believe in this, like, make America healthy again campaign.
00:07:52.060But also no one willingly hangs out with Rabbi Shmuley.
00:07:55.960And I think that that is something that the entire world can agree on.
00:07:59.760And the allegations, I'm getting emails from people that worked with him at Children's Health Defense, which was the big eye opener for me.
00:08:06.960I absolutely love that organization that he ran and it became the reason that I didn't vaccinate my children.
00:08:13.380So what came from Jessica Reed Krause's mouth about what he's got in the closet is the same as what's coming from people that work with him on Children's Health Defense, the same as people who were a major part of this iteration of the MAGA movement.
00:08:30.200I'll just come right out and say that.
00:08:31.640And I'm not saying that as a because I dislike him.
00:08:34.020I'm saying that because I dislike politics.
00:08:36.280And I just have to be honest with people that he is going to be limited in what he can do because there is a lot of sexual blackmail there.
00:08:45.080And the thing I don't know if you've seen Brett Weinstein's recent episodes, but he's been doing a couple of long podcasts, two hours plus lately.
00:08:52.820Digging into one in particular a couple of days ago was a really lucid look at the different layers of what blackmail can actually be.
00:09:00.320I think a lot of Americans are just now starting to conceptualize a blackmail in the last five years.
00:09:05.060And a lot of Americans still think of blackmail as just Jeffrey Epstein or nothing.
00:09:09.600And that is not the nature of this thing.
00:09:11.960And Brett pointed out very astutely that a lot of blackmail in the political arena actually appears as friendship, probably.
00:09:18.840As in, if you're a wild partier back in your day or you have sexual proclivities or whatever it is and you do something stupid and your friend comes to you and is like, dude, what did you do?
00:09:28.060That's a huge mistake. We shouldn't have done that. Like, look, I'll help you cover that up.
00:09:32.140I'll help take care of this and make sure I'll protect you from this and make sure it never affects your campaign.
00:09:36.700You just keep doing you and I've got your back. Right.
00:09:39.400And that is like, oh, thank gosh, I have such a good friend. Feels so good to have such a good friend.
00:09:45.060And then, you know, three months later, that friend comes to you and is like, hey, listen, I really think that we shouldn't hire this person.
00:09:51.080Like it wouldn't be a good move. And you say, well, I'd like them.
00:09:53.820And it's like, yeah, we shouldn't hire them.
00:09:56.040And we have a discussion about it and then they leave the room and then you think, huh.
00:10:01.360That person, I can't go against that person.
00:10:03.960That person is my closest confidant and they know things about me that no one else does.
00:10:07.900How could I? I guess I shouldn't hire that person. Right.
00:10:11.180And so there's so and that's just one example.
00:10:13.020There's so many layers of how blackmail can appear in lots of different ways.
00:10:16.660And I personally I think that Bobby does have a strong soul and he does have that Kennedy mindset of like of his lineage and what he stands for.
00:10:25.880And so I doubt he would be able to be blackmailed in an overt like do this or else way or at least not at first.
00:10:32.760But at first, maybe the blackmail is small.
00:10:35.900And you never know what kind of leverages people get over politicians.
00:10:39.460And eventually you wind up with Rabbi Shmuley hanging out with you and declaring anti-Semitism the greatest health crisis in America today or whatever it is.
00:10:50.520Absurd. And this kind of really gets right to the crux of everything that's happening, which is you're seeing actually the left and the right unite on this one topic of recognizing that it's really wrong what's happening in Palestine.
00:11:06.000And this is such, to me, just a humanitarian issue, humanitarian approach.
00:11:10.840And they're trying to win this issue with smears.
00:11:23.880No, actually, he's been on TikTok for quite some time going through grocery aisles.
00:11:26.960I know that some older people were not on TikTok and I'm kind of generation Instagram is where it stopped.
00:11:31.520But when I finally got on TikTok and you were a big deal on TikTok, blew up on TikTok, just going through the grocery aisle, grocery aisle, talking about who owns what.
00:11:41.960And then when the Israel-Palestine thing happened, you were very clear about your position on this.
00:11:47.360And obviously, when Elon Musk and you got into that back forth, things hit another level because you were so sensible about speaking about why it is that Americans would not feel allegiance to Israel, which is our right.
00:11:58.700It is so weird that they think that they're going to try to psychologically convince us that we have no right to not support a foreign nation by calling everybody anti-Semitic.
00:12:32.420And it only enhances their conviction and actually creates more real anti-Semitism as well as just, you know, basic noticing of facts.
00:12:39.300There is that noticing of facts that's happening.
00:12:41.660I think this book here has done more damage than anything that you or I could ever say.
00:12:47.540And I actually wanted to bring up this book, Chaos, because they are totally, Chaos, but just to be clear for you guys that are watching us at home, it was a CIA operation.
00:13:00.340So if you're wondering why all of these random accounts are suddenly saying that I'm funded by Qatar, I absolutely am not funded by Qatar.
00:13:07.240I'd like to be, by the way, Qatar, if you're watching, like, I'm not opposed to reading some ads for you.
00:13:12.240Like, it's totally fine because everybody else works with you, including Bibi Netanyahu, who's going through a Qatar trial right now, which is the rich irony of all of this.
00:13:34.040LBJ becomes president of the United States and just reversed his course on everything that JFK was doing in terms of his foreign policy with Israel.
00:14:26.560They're all saying the same talking point, but while ignoring Bibi Netanyahu's trial for funding Qatar to give money to Hamas, like, which is incredible.
00:14:38.140So chaos is the one where they're like surveilling and targeting and smearing and libeling these protesters.
00:14:42.540But that's overlapped over COINTELPRO, which was instated by J. Edgar Hoover more so, although COINTELPRO tactics are universal.
00:14:50.320But that's actually causing dissidents to fight each other, causing like spreading rumors about Black Panthers sleeping with each other's wives, spreading salacious details that may or may not be true about Martin Luther King or other things.
00:15:01.600And to be clear, a lot of the rumors about Martin Luther King were probably somewhat true, but just sowing division amongst the ranks and getting people to fight each other.
00:15:10.500And that was all enacted by J. Edgar Hoover, who was being blackmailed by the Jewish mob for his sexual perversions at the time.
00:15:16.840And so it's such a funny and tragic rewrite of like the exact same history is rhyming all over again in so many ways.
00:15:24.300The Bible says there's nothing new under the sun.
00:15:25.940And I feel like we are right back in the 60s.
00:15:28.000And I want people to recognize that because I got a chill down my spine reading about the Black Panthers and COINTELPRO and recognizing that they infiltrated these groups because their biggest fear, and this was the entire thing behind the Charles Manson lie and pretending it was a race war that he wanted, was they were very fearful of black nationalists and white liberals coming together.
00:15:51.100And I was sitting here going, oh, my gosh, I have these beliefs like they're going through Black Panthers beliefs in this in this book.
00:15:57.480And they're like, you know, they believed in the Second Amendment that you should defend yourself.
00:16:33.000The thing that initially brought us together in content was Diddy, is that once they saw how powerful these black movements could be, because black people have had such a bad, like, go of it politically in those earlier days, especially.
00:16:45.560And then through the civil rights movement, they saw, oh, my goodness, these people can really organize.
00:16:49.320These people can really, like, project quality arguments and make a difference.
00:16:54.480And I'm, you know, speculating a little bit as to the connections from A to B.
00:16:58.120But you wind up with black culture being propped up by a whole bunch of blackmailers and really corrupt celebrities that are pulling strings in order to promote the most degenerate artists you could ever promote, in order to promote culture that is a direct pipeline to prison, which is basically used as slave labor today by all the biggest corporations like Starbucks, McDonald's, Verizon.
00:17:17.100Like, you're calling your Verizon sales rep.
00:17:19.860And some of those calls are going into prisons to people that are getting paid, like, cents per hour.
00:17:23.840And so the way that the black community has been undermined since the sort of 80s and 90s through rap music is a big part of it is so tragic.
00:17:36.020And I think that the seeds are sowed in that time period of the Black Panthers being such a threat, not a physical violent threat in most cases, but rather a political threat.
00:17:46.380Yeah, and that's really funny because I was reading a passage in the book club yesterday or the day before, and it speaks about how part of this program they infiltrated the Black Panthers and had a guy who got really close with the guy at the top.
00:17:59.620I think his name was Freddie, one of the guys at the top.
00:18:01.840And for months, Freddie basically said they're not doing anything illegal, right?
00:18:05.920And they're not doing anything illegal.
00:18:10.160And the FBI raided and shot him in the back of the head and killed him just because he had a following.
00:18:15.620And this is what they were worried about with Martin Luther King.
00:18:18.160And so the biggest fear that they have is nationalism, true nationalism, like true America first.
00:18:23.280We don't want to be involved in your war.
00:18:24.880We don't care about what's happening in Vietnam.
00:18:26.520We don't care how close you are to Israel, LBJ, and the unity that could come between white people and black people.
00:18:34.140And so I really recommend people that are listening to this to read this book so that you have an understanding it will make you or force you to reexamine your relationship with the media when they're kind of using these tactics against people that are clearly not being funded by foreign nations.
00:18:48.940Like they're just going to accuse us of exactly what it is that they're doing, which is committing themselves to a foreign nation.
00:18:55.080And I do want to circle back because of that to the point about RFK, because I will say, I kind of think, and this could just be me, and this is going to make people upset.
00:19:05.160But when I examine everything that I know about RFK juniors, about RFK's death, JFK's death, the truth behind those deaths, I do think he's a coward.
00:19:14.980I do think there is no way you would have me wrapped in an Israeli flag running around with Rabbi Shmuley with the lingering questions and the facts that we have about what happened with these two particular murders.
00:19:28.600And I just say that for me, like I would have to die on my feet.
00:19:34.700I always try to remind myself that there's factors I don't know at play.
00:19:38.860There's factors that I might not understand.
00:19:40.740But at the same time, you are right that what how grievous would those factors have to be for them to legitimize this sort of an action from RFK Jr.
00:19:51.440based upon what we know, like what he knows about Sirhan Sirhan.
00:19:54.160And like that's his dad that Sirhan Sirhan allegedly killed.
00:19:57.360And you did a great piece on that the other day.
00:19:58.840And it is tragic that I assume my presumption is that there's a compromise being made in his mind of I can put this issue to the side if it allows me to tackle this issue being like the vaccines and the health and all that.
00:20:14.760But then the problem is that I put out that video that blew the world up and I'm getting contacted by like Maha moms that have been involved in the movement for 10 years and by other people that were in the campaign.
00:20:24.760And one of the main like rumor mill concerns is that the vaccine stuff seems to not be being taken seriously.
00:20:34.120It seems like we are diverting to food over and over and over, which is good.
00:20:42.140Millions of people were harmed and killed by this bioweapon that we know now was engineered by our government and our deep state and then was leaked out of a lab that we were running.
00:20:54.020And then the vaccines were also already like funded and helped make like the CIA helped make the mRNA technology that was used in those vaccines.
00:21:02.160And then the liability shields, like the amount of evidence that is being compiled as to the multi-billion dollar profit and the multi-million dollar death toll of this scam.
00:21:13.480And we're in that window right now where if they get away with it, like I said, it's like a post-2008 feeling to me, where if we let them get away with it for enough years, no one's going to ever be held accountable.
00:21:22.400And they're going to just go free with their billion dollar paychecks and no one held accountable.
00:21:27.720And I can't help but wonder if the Maha movement has been infiltrated in some way in order to make compromises that you can do this, but not this.
00:21:36.220You can get this done, but it's just politics.
00:21:44.860Like this is the entire reason that people got behind him was to deal with this, to give parents choice when it comes to vaccines.
00:21:50.440Like to say, no, actually, no, you can't compel children and babies to get vaccines in order for them to be able to go to school and things of that nature.
00:21:57.720And all of this taking, it seems to me, a backseat.
00:22:00.480And I would say, by the way, as an extension of that, also the MAGA movement.
00:22:03.460It sort of feels like they're doing the bare minimum for Americans and what we actually put them in office for.
00:22:10.300And then doing the absolute maximum for like Bibi Netanyahu's entire agenda while being like, well, look, we did at least Tom Homan did get out 2,000 criminals in the border.
00:22:31.980If we could dedicate that same energy to what you promised everyone that you were going to do for Americans, that would be great.
00:22:37.760But once again, we're left feeling like this is just a slave colony.
00:22:41.540And the fact that the movement is called America First originally, and that is a stroke of genius because it is so hard.
00:22:49.700They're trying their best, but it's so hard to make what they're doing look America First.
00:22:54.460And they're trying to do all these backwards arguments.
00:22:56.400Like, how is passing speech laws that, like, in some cases criminalize or at the very least, you know, kick you out of school, pull your federal funding if you criticize Israel?
00:23:07.880There are no laws about racism in America.
00:23:10.780There's no—if you Google right now, there is no recognized definition of racism by our government.
00:23:15.580But if you Google America's official definition of anti-Semitism, there's a whole page on the State Department's website about anti-Semitism.
00:23:22.860And so how do you call this America First when we are explicitly going against our First Amendment of our Constitution on behalf of a different nation?
00:23:32.280And inside of those guidelines, they specifically say that saying that people—Jewish people would have more allegiance to Israel than to America because they're Jewish, that's anti-Semitic to say, while out of their mouths they're saying, we need to do these things for Israel or, like, I am a Jew first above all else.
00:23:50.500Things like that that are like, what are we—how are we going along with this cognitive dissonance?
00:23:54.600All right, guys, interrupting this conversation to remind you about pre-born ministries because when a woman faces an unplanned pregnancy, she is often pressured to end her child's life.
00:24:02.800She wants to make the right choice, but society and many people around her are saying that the baby's not a life.
00:24:07.700That's where the ministry of pre-born steps in.
00:24:10.140Pre-born and their network of clinics offer compassionate and loving care to mothers as well as the support that they need to help them choose life, including a free ultrasound, because once a mother hears her child's heartbeat, she's twice as likely to choose life.
00:24:22.140If you consider yourself to be pro-life, it's time to join forces with pre-born.
00:24:25.700Together, we can empower women to choose life.
00:24:28.460Empowering the truth of motherhood can transform families and futures.
00:24:32.040One ultrasound costs just $28, and $140 will help to rescue five babies.
00:24:37.660When you donate monthly, you'll receive stories and pictures of the lives that you helped to save.
00:24:41.480To donate, just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
