EMERGENCY! France Arrests Telegram Founder, Pavel Durov. | Candace Ep 52
Summary
Pavel Durov, the founder of the messaging app Telegram, has been arrested in France, ostensibly for not allowing the government to build a backdoor into his social media app. This would allow the U.S. government to spy on the users of his app, and other social media platforms, using open source code. Today, I talk about his story, and how the government got hold of his data, and why they should have access to it. I also talk about the NFL and why Brittany Mahomes doesn t care that she liked a Trump post, and she doesn't care that people are angry at her for it. All of that and much more on today's show with Candice.

Metrolinx and Crosslinks are reminding everyone to be careful
00:00:04.320
as Eglinton Crosstown LRT train testing is in progress.
00:00:09.120
Please be alert as trains can pass at any time on the tracks.
00:00:16.520
Be careful along our tracks and only make left turns where it's safe to do so.
00:00:28.180
Actually, it's been kind of a weekend of me shouting over the Internet if you follow me on Twitter or X, rather,
00:00:33.420
because something extremely important happened over the weekend that every single person in the world should be speaking about.
00:00:40.420
And that is that Pavel Durov, the founder of the messaging app Telegram, has been arrested in France,
00:00:46.580
ostensibly for not allowing the government to build a backdoor into his social media app.
00:00:51.460
Really, I'm going to build a backdoor into our lives.
00:00:54.520
Plus, and somehow kind of relatedly, Justin Bieber just had a child,
00:00:59.540
and I am convinced that he is himself trying to exit Hollywood.
00:01:03.760
But the gang that runs Hollywood, I know I'm not going to say that,
00:01:06.200
and I'll say that there's a gang, can't imply that, are not allowing him to.
00:01:10.120
I noticed some very interesting hit pieces about him.
00:01:14.280
And in sports, Brittany Mahomes has an attitude.
00:01:17.340
She liked a Trump post, and people are angry at her.
00:01:35.420
All right, so I'm going to slow this down in case you're like me and you're not on all of the apps.
00:01:49.040
It is one of the world's biggest social media and messaging platforms.
00:01:56.960
I'll tell you a little bit about it because it's important to understand the backstory here.
00:02:00.620
It was founded in 2013 by a Russian man named Pavel Durov.
00:02:05.420
Pavel Durov is something of, I guess I would refer to him as a technological renegade.
00:02:12.760
So initially, his backstory is that he was running this wildly popular social media app in Russia, where he's from.
00:02:20.620
And that app was entitled, it was called, rather, VKontakte.
00:02:28.160
Until the government then started putting pressure on him, the Russian government.
00:02:31.660
They were like, listen, we don't like all of these opposition communities that are running.
00:02:37.880
We don't want anybody running opposed to the Russian state in their ideas.
00:02:46.660
I'll build a new one because I believe in free speech.
00:02:54.160
And then he was out of Russia, took that new app with him.
00:03:01.380
It's so obvious America has free speech, right?
00:03:09.500
If you are escaping the oppression of Russia, then of course you would want to come to America
00:03:14.380
and maybe join Silicon Valley and go to lunches with Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg, everyone
00:03:20.680
else who really believed in this idea of freedom and free speech.
00:03:32.680
I'm going to allow you to listen to him tell Tucker Carlson exactly what happened when
00:03:41.020
You know, there's this second part, which was probably more alarming there in the U.S.
00:03:47.260
We got too much attention from the FBI, the security agencies, wherever we came to the U.S.
00:03:54.760
So to give you an example, last time I was in the U.S., I brought an engineer that is working
00:04:02.720
for Telegram, and there was an attempt to secretly hire my engineer behind my back by cyber security
00:04:19.060
To write code for them or to break into Telegram?
00:04:22.480
They were curious to learn which open source libraries are integrated to the Telegram's app,
00:04:32.020
And they were trying to persuade him to use certain open source tools that he would then
00:04:39.600
integrate into the Telegram's code that, in my understanding, would serve as backdoors.
00:04:45.640
This would allow the U.S. government to spy on people who use Telegram.
00:04:49.960
The U.S. government or maybe any other government, because a backdoor is a backdoor, regardless
00:04:57.420
So just to reiterate there, he came over to America, land of the free, had some amazing
00:05:02.440
technology, was protecting users' privacy, and the state approached one of his engineers
00:05:07.540
and were like, hey, what if you did a deal with us?
00:05:11.380
What if you just created sort of a backdoor so that we could spy on, and I love that he
00:05:15.940
points out that maybe more than America, because I think we're all comprehending that we are
00:05:25.100
I believe the governments are working with one another in the West.
00:05:27.760
It is just a globalized governance, so to speak.
00:05:31.500
And they wanted access to Telegram for a lot of reasons.
00:05:36.480
He decided, actually, I'm going to run this company from Dubai, which is so interesting
00:05:41.320
because if you just think of our American depictions of the Middle East, we think of
00:05:49.480
And yet here you have this tech renegade, and he ups and he moves to Dubai, and he decides
00:05:52.800
to run his company from the UAE because he imagines that to be one of the only places
00:05:57.060
where there might be any protection for him to simply allow users to communicate and
00:06:02.880
message one another without having the government breathing over their necks.
00:06:08.720
Now, here is where Pavel potentially made a mistake.
00:06:11.980
It turns out that he also holds a citizenship in France.
00:06:17.220
And he imagined himself being able to travel to France without anything happening, maybe
00:06:22.220
because he doesn't understand what we have come to understand, which is that all of these
00:06:26.820
So Pavel Durov, and this is now a headline of the New York Times, the 39-year-old, he's
00:06:32.840
that young founder of the app Telegram, was taken into custody by French authorities over
00:06:41.060
He was arrested at Le Bourget Airport near Paris after landing on a private plane from
00:06:49.220
The French judicial official said on Sunday evening that his time in custody has now been
00:06:55.380
Now, under French law, the initial 24 hours that you're supposed to be detained in custody
00:07:00.520
can be extended up to 96 hours, depending on the seriousness of the criminal accusations.
00:07:07.060
Representatives of the French police and the interior ministry declined to comment.
00:07:11.600
In a statement on Telegram, the company, that's Telegram, said that Telegram abides by all of
00:07:16.260
the EU laws and said that Pavel Durov has absolutely nothing to hide.
00:07:21.540
Now, this article also notes that Mr. Durov's arrest has very little precedent.
00:07:26.680
While the EU and the United States government have summoned and questioned leaders of other
00:07:32.540
social media firms, rarely has a major tech leader been arrested over what takes place
00:07:40.220
Now, there might be a reason for that, by the way.
00:07:41.500
Elon Musk would like a word, certainly, because people were pointing that out.
00:07:44.800
They were going, wait a second, haven't I heard that, you know, there's Facebook and
00:07:48.660
there's Meta and they were in trouble at one point because people said that there was child
00:07:54.900
Don't all these sites have the potential for bad people to get on them and do things?
00:08:00.740
And here is what Elon Musk actually tweeted in response to that.
00:08:05.140
He basically just flagrantly called out Mark Zuckerberg as a sellout, basically wrote this
00:08:11.720
because he already caved into censorship pressure.
00:08:15.780
Instagram has a massive child exploitation problem, but no arrest for Zuck as he censors
00:08:19.600
speech and gives governments backdoor access to user data.
00:08:24.640
So if you're wondering what the charges are, what did this guy do?
00:08:29.100
This is a theme, I mean, all last week we've been talking about how if they want you, they're
00:08:33.320
You're not going to believe the audacity of these charges, particularly in France.
00:08:41.960
He is just complicit in things that are being done that are wrong.
00:08:46.460
He is complicit in enabling illegal transactions by organized groups.
00:08:51.360
He's complicit in a refusal to communicate at the request of competent authorities.
00:08:57.020
These are his real charges, informations or documents necessary for carrying out and operating
00:09:04.660
He is complicit in possessing pornographic images of minors.
00:09:09.920
Got to always throw in the pedophile thing so that the public just goes, oh, well, it must
00:09:15.580
He's also complicit, another charge, in distributing, offering or making available pornographic images
00:09:24.900
Don't you see that they had to make this arrest?
00:09:26.920
They also have complicit in acquiring, transporting, possessing, offering or selling narcotic substances.
00:09:36.140
I'm only reading you a few here, but you get it.
00:09:38.020
Gosh, once again, we have a guy who in this time he's just complicit in child exploitation,
00:09:45.620
They love to stick that on men who are a threat to them, right?
00:09:50.880
When we say the establishment, we're talking about the deep state and we say, when we say
00:09:53.860
the deep state, what we're referring to is a gang, okay?
00:09:56.940
Write your stupid little headlines about Candace Owens.
00:09:59.400
Oh my God, you're just implying that there's a gang.
00:10:02.080
It is obvious that there is a gang, a very big gang.
00:10:07.500
Actually, it's really not that big, but they've amassed quite a bit of power that there is a
00:10:12.000
global elite operating in Western society, okay?
00:10:15.380
And you can see this, their demands are as such, you either play ball with them, we are
00:10:24.040
And remarkably, their strategy, which is so tried and true, is that they will accuse you
00:10:32.140
I mean, the audacity of referring to Pavel Durov as someone who is complicit in abetting
00:10:41.300
That's what the French Secret Service, the French state would like us to believe under
00:10:45.620
the authority of Emmanuel Macron, a human being, a child who was statutorily raped back when
00:10:53.920
he was a child by his husband, Brigitte Macron.
00:11:04.240
His name used to be Jean-Michel Trogdo, and then he became Brigitte.
00:11:07.360
And when Brigitte was 40 years old, and no one will counter this fact in the media.
00:11:12.380
Instead, they just call it a conspiracy theory, because that's what it's always, just call
00:11:18.840
But the reality is that, yes, Brigitte Macron sexually raped Emmanuel Macron.
00:11:26.620
So if the state actually cared about stomping out people that were aiding and abetting pedophilia,
00:11:32.520
aiding and abetting crimes against minors, then you would not have Emmanuel Macron and
00:11:39.800
And then there's the audacity of Emmanuel Macron tweeting, because obviously people were outraged
00:11:46.520
I have seen false information regarding France following the arrest of Pavel Derov.
00:11:51.600
France is deeply committed to freedom of expression and communication, to innovation and the spirit
00:11:59.280
In a state governed by the rule of law, freedoms are upheld within a legal framework, both on
00:12:04.340
social media and in real life, to protect citizens and respect their fundamental rights.
00:12:09.420
It is up to the judiciary, in full independence, to enforce the law.
00:12:13.540
The arrest of the president of Telegram on French soil took place as part of an ongoing
00:12:22.900
I mean, you've just absolutely got to be kidding me.
00:12:25.120
Like I said, it's like he just forgets himself.
00:12:27.760
He also doesn't want you to know other things that go on in his state.
00:12:32.480
Later on this week, we are going to have for you an interview.
00:12:37.700
He was the person who broke the tremendous three-year-long investigation, the story of
00:12:43.460
who, in fact, Brigitte Macron actually is or was.
00:12:46.780
And remarkably, the state, because they can't go after him for defamation because he told
00:12:54.040
the truth, has decided to go back to a piece that he wrote three years ago and to accuse
00:13:00.540
him of violating laws regarding, you're not going to believe me, you're not going to believe
00:13:11.220
They said he wrote an article over three years ago.
00:13:14.920
And in the article, he was speaking about media power.
00:13:18.300
And he didn't even say, this is according to him, the word Jewish.
00:13:22.040
He just named the people that hold all of the media power in France.
00:13:25.600
And so now they've opened an investigation into Xavier Poussard a little late, but better
00:13:31.440
late than never, because he might be an anti-Semite.
00:13:37.060
Are we noticing that a lot of people who have the courage to call out what is happening in
00:13:44.820
this society are always hit with the same exact smears, right?
00:13:48.100
If you're a man, you better look out because it's human sex trafficking.
00:13:53.180
It's they're going to accuse you of some sort of an abuses.
00:13:56.340
You're going to be a part of the Me Too movement.
00:13:58.440
You're going to get smeared, all of us as conspiracy theorists, racist, homophobes, anti-Semitism.
00:14:07.540
And I've got to say, there's just nothing that makes me laugh harder than the idea that
00:14:11.020
the state is combating and not themselves abetting pedophilia.
00:14:15.240
It's like I wasn't even alive for the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
00:14:22.180
Maybe I also wasn't alive and I never read the BuzzFeed piece that was published back
00:14:30.180
So in case you're not aware of what piece that is, I'm going to show this to you now
00:14:33.340
and basically skim through it because I cover this extensively on my old show.
00:14:36.840
But it's important enough that every single person should read it so that you really get
00:14:41.280
a grip on who it is that is running our government, our global government.
00:14:47.620
The article is entitled Secret CIA Files say staffers committed sex crimes involving children.
00:14:58.480
Unbelievably, and you can see the print below it, declassified CIA inspector general reports
00:15:03.220
show a pattern of abuse and a repeated decision by federal prosecutors not to hold the agency
00:15:09.860
People working in the CIA, this article took years for the authors to write because they
00:15:19.460
And here is just a little excerpt from that article.
00:15:24.400
Over the past 14 years, the CIA has secretly amassed credible evidence that at least 10 of
00:15:29.220
its employees and contractors committed sexual crimes involving children.
00:15:32.900
Though most of these cases were referred to the U.S.
00:15:35.440
attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime.
00:15:42.240
Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally.
00:15:45.820
You guys decide what you want to do, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible
00:15:54.160
CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal
00:16:03.080
One employee had sexual contact with a two-year-old and a six-year-old.
00:16:08.920
A second employee purchased three sexually explicit videos of young girls filmed by their mothers.
00:16:16.840
A third employee estimated that he had viewed up to 1,400 sexually abusive images of children
00:16:25.440
The records do not say what action, if any, the CIA took against him.
00:16:29.500
A contractor who arranged for sex with an undercover FBI agent posing as a child had his contract
00:16:40.380
And so, like I said, maybe we're really living in this reality where people are losing their
00:16:47.060
minds, falling into some sort of an amnesia, don't really recognize that if the state wanted
00:16:53.440
to prosecute these sorts of crimes, then maybe we'd have an answer for why Diddy hasn't yet
00:17:03.820
That was when I really started getting in trouble this year.
00:17:05.700
I looked into that case and it was just the most credible thing I've ever seen with video
00:17:10.700
documentation, photo documentation, a person who worked with him saying, this is what happens.
00:17:24.160
Well, they raided Diddy's house four months ago, but no charges have been brought against
00:17:27.940
Even though we watched him beat Cassie on his ex-girlfriend, longtime girlfriend, on camera.
00:17:37.240
And of course, we also can't go after the pornographers.
00:17:39.920
We know that what is happening on these websites like Pornhub.
00:17:45.300
Pornhub's parent company admits it profited from sex trafficking.
00:17:48.660
And by the way, the DOJ didn't bring about this case because, well, obviously they're involved
00:17:53.460
in sex trafficking, but it was, they were basically had their hands forced to bring
00:17:58.600
about this case because a young woman named Layla put together an organization and went
00:18:04.040
And she was really tough on this and eventually got the public to pay attention to the fact
00:18:08.680
that children were on this website after having been sex trafficked.
00:18:13.340
And what was the result, by the way, in case you're wondering, they got a slap on the wrist.
00:18:17.420
They had to pay a $1.5 million fine, the parent company of Pornhub.
00:18:21.500
They simply had to pay a fine and agree to like a three-year probation and that in the
00:18:30.640
They decided to defer prosecution altogether under the agreement.
00:18:35.280
So I'll ask the question, who in the world is buying that the reason that they have arrested
00:18:42.900
Pavel Derov is because they're concerned about sex trafficking?
00:18:49.580
Who's also even buying the drug trafficking bit?
00:18:53.120
Am I the only person who remembers learning about the Iran-Contra scandal when our CIA between
00:18:58.980
1981 and 1986, the senior administration, was quite literally caught facilitating drug
00:19:06.080
sales and arms sales because, you know, we were doing what we do, trying to overthrow a
00:19:12.340
We were trying to fund a group of rebels in Nicaragua.
00:19:17.960
And this happens over and over and over again, but I guess the American public, or at least
00:19:22.540
a small contingent of the American public, still believes that what they see on the movies
00:19:28.800
Like that El Chapo is the number one drug dealer and thank goodness our government took him
00:19:33.440
Now, our government only takes out their own competition, just to be clear, because it's
00:19:40.480
So they will lie, they will sleep, they will literally do anything to take our money.
00:19:45.380
They even, at one point in one of the charges, it speaks about the potential to money launder
00:19:54.040
If you've been paying attention to how many times our government said, oopsies, we can't
00:19:59.560
We're taking your taxes and you better pay them or we'll lock you up, but we can't tell
00:20:09.220
And they kill anybody who gets in their way or they imprison them.
00:20:11.980
And so what we have right now and why this case is so important is that it is happening
00:20:18.480
And it was, I think, David Sachs who predicted via a list they'll go after TikTok.
00:20:24.220
TikTok is now one of the most censored social media apps.
00:20:27.800
They said that they would, he predicted that they would go after Telegram.
00:20:33.720
Why you should be outraged is because they are after us.
00:20:41.360
Who still believes these stupid stories like social network?
00:20:44.580
Oh, I'm sure that's how it happened in a Harvard dorm.
00:20:47.520
It was a CIA op, obviously, but they always sell it to people in Hollywood, right?
00:20:51.640
They use Hollywood films to convince you that the way things happened were just so miraculous.
00:20:56.840
Everybody's just building a social media app in their garage.
00:20:59.940
YouTube, Google, what garages are these, right?
00:21:03.040
And then they face really no opposition whatsoever to the government because they are the government.
00:21:06.820
All of these apps are being controlled by the government because ultimately what they want
00:21:13.520
They want to make sure that they actually have no competition.
00:21:15.700
It is actually capitalists that demand socialism, right?
00:21:20.000
Because they don't ever want to have to compete.
00:21:22.560
And because they can't compete in the free markets themselves, what they do is they overregulate
00:21:29.280
And so every person who has a social media app should be speaking out against what is happening
00:21:35.900
We should be outraged by what's happening to Pavel Derov.
00:21:38.680
And we should also be coming to the recognition that the West has never been free.
00:21:43.600
Okay, I feel like that illusion is now dissipating.
00:21:51.820
The illusion has been managed, like I said, by Hollywood, making you think that all of these
00:21:55.500
stories and freedom and America is this place, we are seeing more and more that that is not
00:22:00.040
And there's really very few corners of the earth that you can run to where you can truly
00:22:06.140
And so the time to start speaking out now, because I'm telling you guys, it's not much
00:22:16.060
I know that I certainly will be doing exactly that.
00:22:19.080
All right, guys, I do want to pause here and thank one of our sponsors.
00:22:25.660
We know that Planned Parenthood, that is their competition, they're ricking in billions despite
00:22:30.940
The biggest takeaway is that Planned Parenthood is generating vast profits, which includes
00:22:37.140
But with Preborn, that is you and me, we get to actively steal their clientele, meaning
00:22:44.360
Preborn operates on a very slim budget, rescuing over 200 babies' lives every single day with
00:22:50.080
Preborn's network of clinics are situated, as you can imagine, in the darkest corners of the
00:22:53.860
nation competing head-to-head with the abortion giants, and they need our help now more than
00:22:58.780
When you donate $28 to Preborn, you will offer a free ultrasound to an expectant mother that
00:23:04.360
Because once she hears that heartbeat and sees that precious life, her baby's chance at
00:23:10.920
Your tax deductible gift will go directly towards saving babies' lives.
00:23:13.720
You just dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
00:23:25.020
Okay, I would like to cover the Justin Bieber story because I think there is more going on
00:23:32.360
Okay, so Justin Bieber, just so you guys know, he had a baby.
00:23:36.760
I guess Haley technically had the baby, obviously.
00:23:42.300
Congratulations, they shared a photo on Instagram on August 23rd, and the internet exploded with
00:23:48.240
But it was actually something else that caught my eye about this pregnancy and this birth.
00:23:54.440
And it was that leading up to it, just a few weeks before they gave birth.
00:23:59.840
Suddenly, there were a series of attacks on her and attacks on their marriage.
00:24:04.980
And I'm just giving you just like one of these, showing you, I guess, a bunch of these headlines
00:24:08.680
that came out, essentially saying that Justin Bieber was miserable.
00:24:12.300
And that Haley was blowing through millions of his fortune on these wild luxuries, including
00:24:18.060
a second engagement ring that was worth $1.5 million.
00:24:21.400
You can see another one here in the corner says Bieber having marriage issues.
00:24:25.060
And desperate Justin Bieber accepted an offer from an Indian couple to do their gig for
00:24:31.380
$10 million to keep up with Haley Bieber's excessive spending.
00:24:35.620
You offer me $10 million to come sing at your wedding.
00:24:41.900
You offer me $10 million to come sing at your wedding.
00:24:45.360
And I was reading through it and trying to find the source of it.
00:24:47.840
And there was a long piece done in the Daily Mail.
00:24:50.620
And when I read it, I went, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:24:52.800
This is an intentionally sought-after hit on Justin Bieber because he is trying to leave
00:25:02.360
Now, you'll remember, we have been covering Justin Bieber because when I read about Diddy
00:25:07.520
and the ring that the producer is alleging that he runs of Blackmail, I vividly recalled
00:25:14.440
a clip which then went viral on the web because people were going, wait a second.
00:25:19.300
Remember when Justin Bieber was really young and Diddy was like, hey, pick up my phone calls
00:25:26.640
And then he kind of went into like a party phase.
00:25:29.840
And now that we know what Diddy has been up to, and I'm pretty convinced he's a fed,
00:25:35.580
I think that he gets Blackmail on various artists.
00:25:38.420
And that was what was heavily implied in the lawsuit because he has cameras everywhere and
00:25:41.840
he catches them doing things that they would not want out in the public, whether that's
00:25:46.440
drugs, whether that's sex acts, homosexual sex acts.
00:25:49.560
I think Cat Williams spoke to the fact that they try to get you to party, party if you're
00:25:53.100
a guy and giving you drugs to make you perhaps more open to that.
00:25:57.540
And then once they have you on film doing something like that, then they control you.
00:26:00.860
So that would be a Blackmail ring, not unlike the Jeffrey Epstein Blackmail ring.
00:26:05.820
And so I was paying attention to the fact that it seemed very obvious that he, Justin, I'm
00:26:10.560
talking about Justin Bieber now, got off of drugs when he met, when he met Haley Bieber.
00:26:16.060
And it seemed like it was just his whole life had turned around.
00:26:26.300
You saw him crying like outside of church and he was much more emotional.
00:26:29.920
And I think that that sort of came naturally with his sobriety is like the recognition
00:26:38.480
And I really do think it was him having a reckoning of the evils of Hollywood.
00:26:42.140
Again, this is my opinion, but I just remember him having a lot of these sort of breakdowns
00:26:45.520
that people didn't know what was causing him to be so emotional in public.
00:26:57.520
And he went through this incredible journey through faith.
00:27:01.040
And I would say that he fully decided to turn away from Hollywood.
00:27:04.800
They got married in September of 2019 and he hasn't been the same Justin Bieber.
00:27:08.360
And it was actually this little tidbit in the Daily Mail that made me realize that Hollywood
00:27:17.420
So in this ridiculous article where they say, quote, he's isolated from his friends
00:27:22.600
He's miserable right now as Haley has taken complete control over him.
00:27:26.320
He has lost his identity, creative drive, and he is uninspired, meaning he's what?
00:27:30.600
Not making music for you guys, not being a slave to the industry.
00:27:33.780
Then in January of 2023, there was another shock.
00:27:37.380
Bieber announced that he was selling the rights to his entire 291 song back catalog.
00:27:42.660
The music investment company reportedly bought Bieber's life work for $200 million.
00:27:48.760
In exchange, he no longer receives royalties on any of the tracks that he's released.
00:27:52.720
And I think that right there is at the nucleus of why they are attacking him.
00:27:58.400
I think Justin Bieber knows a lot about Hollywood.
00:28:00.540
I think he understands or knows more about the more sinister side of Hollywood, which I have
00:28:06.900
been remarking on having read Babylon, Hollywood Babylon.
00:28:09.760
And now I've just embarked on reading Hollywood Babylon 2 and realizing that it's always been
00:28:16.620
Intentionally getting artists on drugs has always been one component of it as well.
00:28:20.700
So Justin Bieber would be someone who would be able to speak to this.
00:28:25.460
I do believe that the CIA is running Hollywood.
00:28:27.680
I believe CIA is formerly a gang that then got their foot into our government.
00:28:31.660
I have said this openly and been attacked for it, but it is the only thing that makes sense.
00:28:35.700
And I believe that they cannot have a person that decides to get married and decides to
00:28:40.940
get sober and knows about what happens in Hollywood.
00:28:44.140
And so pay attention to what is happening to Justin Bieber because these attacks against
00:28:47.160
him and his wife when he's finally got his life together doesn't make any sense.
00:28:51.380
I don't really think he's running out of money in any regard whatsoever.
00:28:54.900
I think that what's actually happening is he simply wants to be left alone.
00:28:58.060
And so I wanted to congratulate them on the birth of their child and also encourage them
00:29:01.440
to stick to their family and stick to faith and to, if he is willing to, one day have
00:29:06.220
the courage to speak out because I think that a lot of people are speaking out right now
00:29:11.580
All right, guys, I do want to take a brief pause now to thank another ad.
00:29:16.400
Actually, you guys have been asking me about my skincare routine and I promise you, I'm actually
00:29:19.380

Brittany Mahomes is under fire because she liked a Trump post.
00:30:21.080
Let somebody like a post, which they're allowed to do because it's an election and you are
00:30:34.640
This is the post that she liked and has since unliked because she has received so much heat
00:30:41.620
Now, to be clear, if you're not familiar with Brittany Mahomes, she is the wife of Kansas
00:30:47.480
And like I said, she did the unthinkable by liking a post that highlighted the Republican
00:30:52.680
Party platform, which included deporting pro-Hamas radicals and keeping men out of women's sports.
00:31:00.880
I think she just said, hey, I agree with maybe not all, maybe some, maybe a few of these policy
00:31:07.700
Given the fact that she's from the South, this certainly doesn't stress me out or shock me.
00:31:11.760
But, you know, people that live in the bubbles, like on the coast, really do believe that
00:31:16.540
They just can't imagine or they think people in the South are all backwards and all racist.
00:31:20.720
So I guess they were, they were shocked by this.
00:31:23.060
And one user wrote, Brittany Mahomes just outed herself as a Trump supporter.
00:31:29.860
Another user wrote, Patrick Mahomes, imagine marrying someone who doesn't care about your
00:31:36.360
Brittany Mahomes agreeing with Project 2025, but married to a black man with mixed kids is
00:31:43.420
Man, I wish I had found that post, like just be able to source it and respond to the person
00:31:48.220
because, of course, everyone who freaks out about Project 2025, they're just bots, right?
00:31:52.360
They are the people that truly believe everything that they watch on MSNBC.
00:31:55.540
If you said, hey, what specifically do you not like at Project 2025?
00:32:00.880
These are the people that are so remarkably programmed that their media, that MSNBC, that CNN, they have
00:32:08.400
lied to them consistently for years and they just cannot imagine that they are lying to
00:32:14.340
They're like, okay, I know they lied about COVID.
00:32:16.420
I know they lied about, you know, Trump and said that he was going to put us back in slave
00:32:20.660
But actually, I was living great under him and the economy was doing well.
00:32:24.240
I know they lied and they told me that Russian, if you're in our election, and that was proven
00:32:29.720
But I really feel like this time about Project 2025 are telling me the truth and that this
00:32:36.880
And so she should be concerned because she has mixed kids.
00:32:39.640
These are, I promise you, they are the densest citizens in the entire world.
00:32:44.280
And I really do not mean to offend, but it just, to me, defies every bit of logic when you've
00:32:51.880
already had Trump as president to allow yourself to, again, be subjugated to the exact same
00:33:01.380
Like, they are currently living through a Kamala vice presidency and they think she's
00:33:07.560
She's like, when I get in office, you are in office.
00:33:14.580
You mean the mess that you could currently fix right now?
00:33:17.400
Why, wait, why don't you just do that right now?
00:33:20.460
And I don't know, they just believe it because all they have to do is make an invisible ghost
00:33:23.960
and they've made up Project 2025 and they all start repeating it and they just
00:33:28.060
become that experiment that I told you about in the CIA, where if you say it enough times,
00:33:31.880
there are people that believe that it is true and they believe that Project 2025 is something
00:33:36.780
to be fearful of and they can't even explain it to you.
00:33:39.240
If you want to really test yourself and if you're watching a show and you're a closeted
00:33:43.500
conservative and your lib friend is like, Project 2025, be like, hey, what's actually in
00:33:52.260
It, I mean, it is gonna, it, he's gonna put us back and women are gonna be hands, man,
00:34:05.320
And every single year, every four years, especially there was always a buyer on the left.
00:34:11.680
Speaking of ridiculous, I wanted to very quickly give an honorable mention here.
00:34:14.480
I know last week you covered a very serious thing that happened.
00:34:16.900
Obviously it wasn't, there was a non-kosher pizza sent to Rabbi Shmuley's daughter.
00:34:22.160
And because it was a Hawaiian pizza and it wasn't kosher.
00:34:24.800
And of course, when you see a Hawaiian pizza and it's not kosher and it arrives at your
00:34:27.400
door, your first law process should be darn you, Candace Owens or something.
00:34:32.440
And, but that, it doesn't stop there because he's not done with me.
00:34:36.340
He has just announced to his followers that he's, he's going to sue the crap out of me.
00:34:40.460
I don't know if it's about the pizza or what it's about, but here's what he tweeted.
00:34:44.420
We are currently in conversations with top libel and defamation attorneys across the United States
00:34:49.120
choosing the right man or woman to sue arch anti-Semite at real Candace Owens.
00:34:54.120
Candace Owens seen here with her former employer, help us stop the incitement of violence being
00:35:04.500
I just wanted to throw that up in case you did want to write immediately to him because
00:35:08.720
you do understand the threats of Hawaiian pizzas, or maybe just to ask him generally speaking,
00:35:16.960
How, how are you going to, what lawyers are taking this case?
00:35:22.400
I just wanted to bring it to your attention because he, maybe he's raising money.
00:35:26.520
I don't know what he's doing there, but he's doing something.
00:35:28.760
All right, guys, before I read your comments and jump into this chat, see what you guys are
00:35:34.340
I want to thank our sponsors and remind you guys about American financing, because I know that
00:35:39.120
right now in this economic climate, this economic climate, which Kamala could help fix, but she's
00:35:43.140
going to wait until she's president next year to start fixing it.
00:35:45.820
Tons of people are stressed out because the monthly income is not seeming to cover the
00:35:49.700
And there are a lot of Americans who are feeling that everything is getting more and more expensive.
00:35:53.260
People are reaching more and more for their credit cards to cover basic costs like childcare,
00:35:59.700
And if you're feeling this way, you should call American financing.
00:36:02.360
They're helping hardworking Americans just like you tap into their home's equity line to pay off
00:36:06.840
their high interest debt and even create some additional savings to be ready for whatever
00:36:11.340
With interest rates finally dropping, a company like American financing that never charges any
00:36:15.380
upfront or hidden fees is the perfect partner to help you get into a better financial position.
00:36:20.020
Their consultants are saving homeowners an average of $800 a month.
00:36:23.920
Waiting is not an option, so please call 800-795-1210.
00:36:28.440
Again, that's 800-795-1210, or you can visit Americanfinancing.net slash Owens.
00:36:34.960
All right, let's get into some of your comments.
00:36:39.500
This one says, Shmooley behaves like a schmuck.
00:36:43.540
This person says, the rabbi and his daughter have a really super weird relationship.
00:36:54.480
And this person says, the system isn't going to recover.
00:37:01.540
I'm going to jump in now and read some of the super chats.
00:37:04.160
That's some of you guys paid to be able to ask me a question.
00:37:07.220
Baptist writes, here we go again with the government suppressing free speech.
00:37:12.980
And we need, we truly do need people to return to faith because that's what it's all about.
00:37:17.400
You know, I gave a speech at a Catholic conference over the weekend, and I realized that that's
00:37:22.280
Once you truly understand what's happening, you realize it is not about even politics.
00:37:29.260
It's always been about a battle of good versus evil, God versus Satan.
00:37:34.300
And you just got to decide what team you're on.
00:37:38.120
He decided what team he is on, and he is now being persecuted for it.
00:37:41.820
Tom VTV writes, hey, Candice, please consider looking into Alice Kisaya, a Christian Palestinian
00:37:47.860
living near Bethlehem that just got arrested by Israel for defending her land.
00:37:55.200
My producer writes that recent reports say that she was arrested after protesting Israel
00:38:04.700
Discovery Outdoors writes, it's time for United States citizens to remove control from the
00:38:08.320
government and shut down brainwashing media whose only aim is to divide us.
00:38:16.060
As soon as somebody starts speaking about freedom, as soon as somebody starts playing to
00:38:19.000
the gang, I mean, quite literally, I faced the most malevolent attacks last week because
00:38:24.700
I pointed out the fact that Leo Frank, a convicted pedophile, is a pedophile.
00:38:31.960
You're not going to be able to use the smear of anti-Semitism to get me as a mother to three
00:38:39.860
And I feel like fighting sadistic pedophiles might be mine.
00:38:43.160
I'm very comfortable with that hill if that's the one I have to die on.
00:38:51.620
The Beast writes, Candice, you are a brilliant speaker.
00:38:53.820
I know you said you don't care about running for office for now, but I can easily see
00:38:58.340
Yeah, you know, for me, I just am not sure how much has actually changed in government.
00:39:05.140
And I think the only way things are going to change is if we change people's hearts and
00:39:09.860
And just seeing the amount of people who write to me and say, hey, Candice, like I've completely
00:39:13.100
changed my perspectives after listening to your podcast, people that are brought onto
00:39:16.180
this platform and see the world for what it is.
00:39:19.080
I think I'm making a more severe impression by just speaking to the public.
00:39:29.780
They will accuse you of human trafficking and child porn and pedo and drug smuggling.
00:39:36.000
Like once you collect them all, like I've been racist, transphobe, anti-Semitic, Holocaust
00:39:42.580
And so now they've got to move in and they got to come after me for something criminal
00:39:47.180
like taxes, like they're going to lock me up for taxes or something.
00:39:50.120
I don't know if people are going to buy the child pornography pedo stuff, maybe aiding and
00:40:00.100
Obviously, you can just tell by the way the media covers anything that I say.
00:40:04.580
The Deron Williams Show writes, this case is proof that the real war is between citizens
00:40:12.260
I believe governance is now unnatural when it gets to this size.
00:40:16.020
I think that we should all be living in our little communities and just completely avoiding
00:40:24.500
We should be going to a farmer's market and we should be trading with one another.
00:40:29.720
This person writes, hoping all y'all contribute in your own way, whatever you can.
00:40:33.220
Freedom and independent expression doesn't pay without support.
00:40:38.900
I ain't going back to corporations or big tech, anything like that.
00:40:45.080
Like I said, once I've looked up close, once I saw it up close, what it is that we're actually
00:40:50.940
I've made my bed and I'm very happy to lie in it.
00:40:53.080
I'm going to be fighting for freedom, whatever the cost.
00:41:02.640
Mind your eyes writes, do you regret going to Jerusalem for Israel?
00:41:08.260
I'm all Trump, but I hardly agree with the Israeli government.
00:41:10.820
I severely regret having ever supported Bibi Netanyahu in any capacity.
00:41:18.660
And I think that if I had ever seen those videos, which I saw thereafter, of him speaking
00:41:24.060
about and to America like a thug, like a gangster, like I've got them under control.
00:41:30.120
And anybody who speaks against me, I would have never.
00:41:32.300
I mean, how could I ever look you guys in the face and say that I'm an American first
00:41:35.520
patriot while tail in between the legs, knowing that this guy speaks about America in that
00:41:43.400
