Candace Candace gives her thoughts on Bad Bunny's alternative Super Bowl halftime performance, Lady Gaga's performance, and Jay-Z's lack of an English-speaking rendition of his hit song, Sorry to Bother You.
00:00:00.000All right, you guys. Happy Monday. As you know, the Super Bowl was last night. And look, this is what the kids are terming goyslop. What that means is that you were supposed to pick a side. Pick a side. Whose side are you on? Were you team bad bunny? If so, you're supposed to come out in a way hating the racist right. Maybe you were a team Turning Point USA. Did you oblige and turn off your television sets, open your laptops and watch the alternative halftime performance?
00:00:28.500Which the word on the street is, if you did not enjoy it, if you did not enjoy every moment of it, then it's because you don't love Jesus. Of course. Of course, every single time. That's the new Turning Point Talking Point. So welcome back to Candace.
00:00:42.940Okay, so you guys can actually check the records on this one. I am not, nor have I ever been, a conservative stereotype when it comes to the Super Bowl halftime performance.
00:01:06.280I feel like it's a bit of a fad now. On the right, you watch the Super Bowl for the sole purpose of complaining about the halftime performance and why it didn't live up to what you think that it should be.
00:01:17.400I notoriously defended Rihanna back in 2023 when she was literally just wearing red and conservatives made it seem like she was trying to channel the devil. She was actually pregnant and wasn't even moving around that much.
00:01:30.620I'm also a Shakira stan, so I thought her and J-Lo had a fun halftime performance. I'm not really one of these people who are naturally averse to culture.
00:01:40.560I also like and listen to Spanish music, as you guys know, Mark Anthony. That's why I had to come out for my boy when they were saying stuff about him and what he did at a wedding after 11 p.m.
00:01:51.100No, he should not be responsible for that as a Latino man. I like the old school stuff, Aventura, the old Mark Anthony music, hasta ayer, hasta ayer.
00:02:01.600I grew up listening to all of it. So when Bad Bunny was announced for the Super Bowl, I was like, okay, let's see what he does.
00:02:09.400I do not know one Bad Bunny song. I'm going to be honest. I've been very clear with you guys.
00:02:15.280I am not cool or hip anymore, just like I don't know any of Sabrina Carpenter's music. I'm not trying to stay up with the culture, but I know enough to know that he's very popular, okay?
00:02:24.580Now, the pros of his performance, I'm going to say something good about it. I actually thought the set design was really cool.
00:02:35.200It was one of the cooler ones that I've seen in a very long time. I love that it looked like a little Pueblo, a little Spanish town, the Mercato, the Bodega.
00:02:42.880And to be clear, I think it felt obviously very authentic to him and how he grew up, but not just to him and how he grew up, but also in America.
00:02:50.100If you guys don't know that, this is how a lot—that looks familiar to me and the way that I grew up, like, you know, the corner bodega.
00:02:57.860It's a real thing. And I thought very obviously that that's what he was trying to convey is his own experience because that's what artists do.
00:03:08.880And by the way, like I said, all around the United States, these communities exist.
00:03:12.160The performers and the dancers did a very great job. You could tell that they rehearsed a lot. They were not just winging it.
00:03:17.600And I actually quite enjoyed the little electrical line thing that they were doing. I thought it was clever and it was fun.
00:03:22.460Now, the downside is that it was not in English. It was not in English. And therefore, the audience could not emotionally connect.
00:03:33.700If you were not a Spanish speaker, you could not emotionally connect to that performance.
00:03:38.940It was really all in Spanish, save for Lady Gaga's portion when she was sort of doing the bad salsa, which was very American.
00:03:45.880You know, she wasn't exactly hips don't lie in. And I was like, OK, now, is that bad Bunny's fault?
00:03:54.800Obviously not, because he was booked. And he is very clear. English is his second language.
00:03:59.920If you watch his interviews, he kind of speaks Spanglish. He's learning more English now.
00:04:04.700His music is exclusively in Spanish. So the expectation—who are you actually upset with for booking this performance?
00:04:11.680I agree that it would be nice to have an English-speaking halftime.
00:04:17.080That makes sense because the majority—everyone, actually, in America should speak English.
00:06:53.180But this was their reason that they went into this.
00:06:55.180Now, Bad Bunny did not, in fact, wear a dress at the Super Bowl.
00:06:59.720He didn't, which, like I said, I'm very against that.
00:07:03.740I don't think we should be intentionally emasculating men.
00:07:07.580So that leaves us with Turning Point USA's performance.
00:07:11.020Now, we should be clear it was a prerecord.
00:07:15.000Okay, so Bad Bunny was performing live, Turning Point USA, prerecorded, I think, a couple of weeks ago.
00:07:19.120And so they had time to edit and to present this.
00:07:21.680Now, I'm going to park aside the artists who actually performed, Kid Rock, Lee Bryce.
00:07:27.540I actually want to be clear, I love Lee Bryce's music.
00:07:31.480I went to a Lee Bryce concert here in town.
00:07:33.880So this is not meant to be a commentary on them.
00:07:37.260But rather, at the audacity of what Turning Point USA did as an organization, Turning Point USA is effectively now running Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.
00:08:03.840And they ignored the true metrics and just said, this is it.
00:08:07.100And then they acted aghast and shocked when Kamala Harris did not win.
00:08:12.400Turning Point USA now has so much money that they believe that, similarly, they can afford to outright purchase reality.
00:08:19.800They want you to believe, this is unbelievable, I'm going to walk you through how absurd this is, that when they aired this halftime performance, 6 million concurrent viewers tuned in.
00:08:35.540Just so you understand what that means.
00:08:36.5806 million people at the same time were watching this around the world.
00:08:41.480That's what concurrent viewership means.
00:08:43.480So they decided to tune in to this Super Bowl halftime performance.
00:08:46.460And I want you to listen to that straight from Andrew Colvett's mouth.
00:08:52.060Let's bring that clip in, Don, if you can.
00:10:04.320Now, for people who have been on YouTube, YouTubers, so to speak, like myself, for more than 10 years, I was just in awe that they were going to try to sell this, that they were going to do what he did with his face and just lie and pretend that 6 million, I think even at one point it's 10 million, but it's a 6 million concurrent viewers they had on YouTube alone.
00:10:27.120If you know YouTube at all, that's just not true on its face.
00:10:31.860It's actually, I laughed when I saw, I was like, this is actually crazy.
00:10:35.320I can't believe they're actually going to try to pull this off.
00:10:36.960And I'm going to walk you through this so you don't even have to have my background on YouTube to understand why this number is impossible.
00:10:43.820First and foremost, you can just do this test.
00:11:30.980But again, like I said, maybe you're not familiar with how YouTube works.
00:11:33.680So allow me to present it to you another way so you can really drill into your head how despicable this organization has become and just no association with the truth.
00:11:42.400So I'm going to present to you now the official list of the top YouTube streams based off of concurrent viewership.
00:11:49.500We're going to go through this list that you fully appreciate what you are being asked to believe.
00:12:20.280Turning Point wants you to believe that they're number two now.
00:12:23.860The next two through 20 are all proper football, meaning soccer in America, events.
00:12:33.140You can see it's the World Cup, which is the biggest sport in the world.
00:12:38.540And when people streamed it, it looks like the 2022 World Cup comes into the second spot, Brazil versus Croatia.
00:12:44.880When it was streamed on YouTube, 6.1 million people tuned in.
00:12:50.340Again, this is the biggest sport in the world, soccer.
00:12:54.540They're trying to tell us that football, which only has a hold in America, this is a sport literally for America, and then Turning Point USA comes and they divide the fans by saying, we're doing just a conservative halftime sport.
00:13:07.700So they even have their potential to appeal to half of the football, people that are watching football.
00:13:13.520And on top of that, the people who are divided because they just don't like what Turning Point USA has become since Charlie was assassinated and that their loose association, their loose relationship with the truth since Charlie was assassinated.
00:13:25.840They want you to believe that in spite of all of that, they are now their number two.
00:13:35.080Six million people turned in live to watch their Kid Rock and Lee Bryce and there was a couple of other artists that were involved with performance, pre-recorded performance.
00:14:41.280And I want to really drive this point home to you, to, I can't even think of how many times I could underscore how absurd what they presented here is.
00:14:57.160I would guess that the most authentically watched event for Turning Point USA's YouTube page happened right after Charlie Kirk got assassinated.
00:15:07.840Remember, Erica first addressed the nation and she did this in Charlie's studio.
00:15:13.000Nobody, everyone was rooting for her in this moment, waiting to see what she was going to say as the widow.
00:15:19.160So, if you go online right now, her address as a widow to the nation has 4.1 million views on Charlie Kirk's YouTube channel.
00:15:38.020I want you to compare that to the Turning Point halftime show, which just like Biden's vote in 2020 when we slept, a bunch of more views came in on YouTube.
00:15:47.060People were like, I love it even more in the middle of the night.
00:16:36.600It is, to me, so reminiscent of everything Tucker said when he got onto stage at SAS, when the donors, the Jewish donors got angry, when he questioned exactly where this money is coming from, how these people are becoming billionaires.
00:16:50.520There's people that are not impressive, that are not smart, are suddenly, we just learned that they're billionaires.
00:17:45.100So fiction that even Tyler Boyer, who happens to be a sexual deviant and also a committed homosexual, part-time, is tweeting this out from Bad Bunny's performance.
00:17:55.860Why is Turning Point USA, and it's, he wrote, why Turning Point USA ended up with one of the largest YouTube concurrent live streams in history tonight.
00:18:03.940And he shows something he probably likes, if I'm guessing, this moment of two men dancing on each other.
00:18:10.140And of all people to tweet this, it's Tyler Boyer.
00:18:50.600He was certain that he saw Erica Kirk on the evening of the 8th at Fort Huachuca leaving a hotel with a Cabot Phillips lookalike.
00:18:56.280He has not adopted, he has not adapted that story.
00:18:59.240Despite the undue harassment that he received, in particular, after seeing Erica on the evening of the 8th, he claims that he stumbled upon what appeared to him to be the conclusion of a military briefing right before a mission taking place in a borrowed building site for the Joint Task Force, the Southern Border Unit.
00:19:19.360And he was a border unit, and he was surprised.
00:22:00.280And so I started crawling through some newspapers trying to find this person's face.
00:22:04.520Interestingly enough, we know, like I said, he's been stationed in Tucson, Arizona.
00:22:09.080That Thomas Martin, on Border Patrol, at least since 1985, we know this because he was actually mentioned in a lawsuit.
00:22:17.660As a young agent, a lawsuit, and the content of this lawsuit is impressive.
00:22:23.160This is an old newspaper article, again, from October 21st, 1985.
00:22:27.180It appeared in the Times Union, and it says the sanctuary movement is on trial.
00:22:30.780It tells us the story of this guy who picked up a hitchhiker, and there a movement was born to begin smuggling humans across the border and hiding them into churches.
00:22:51.260It tells us that these pastors, as well as priests, were working together, Southside Presbyterian Church, two Roman Catholic priests, a nun, and six church lay workers were all going on trial in Tucson for concealing illegal aliens.
00:23:06.820And this nice mention that we get of Thomas Martin, we learn that agent Thomas Martin of the Border Patrol was writing to his superiors.
00:23:16.500Essentially, the argument that he's making is we shouldn't invade these churches because then it's going to become a talking point that, oh, look at the big bad ICE agents that are invading churches, and we shouldn't do that.
00:23:27.540So I'm going to direct a quote because he testified, and he said, he wrote to his superiors, quote, a ploy is going to be border patrol baiting in order to demonstrate to the public that the U.S. government thinks nothing of breaking down the doors of their churches to drag Jesus Christ out to be tortured and murdered.
00:23:47.760So he's saying if we do this, it's going to be, if I'm to understand this, it's going to be a talking point.
00:23:52.620So he's making the argument that we shouldn't do it or it's going to be a talking point.
00:23:55.580But again, where is this Thomas Martin?
00:23:59.260And I want to be clear because you guys send tips.
00:24:03.720If you're doing a basic search and finding another Thomas Martin who works in Border Patrol up in Buffalo, New York, his name is Thomas G. Martin.
00:24:10.620That is not the same Thomas Martin that has been in Tucson.
00:24:13.240We've obviously already investigated the obvious lead there.
00:24:16.860Please do not send us any tips about Buffalo, New York, and the other Thomas Martin.
00:24:21.180But regarding this one, please do, please do send us tips to tips, more tips, pardon, at CandiceOwens.com because we'd like to know.
00:24:31.440Maybe somebody worked with this Thomas Martin.
00:24:33.000Again, we know that he's been living in the Tucson area for decades, decades, at least up until 2011.
00:24:41.020I can find a record of him working with the Southern Command, and that is interesting.
00:24:49.940Lastly, I've also received a solid tip, and this is shocking, that Tracy's daughter is actually Erica's assistant.
00:24:57.740I'll put an allegedly there because we've got to confirm that information.
00:25:00.920But the source knows these people, and remarkably, this is the shocking part, and this I don't have to put in allegedly because I have text messages from September 11th.
00:25:15.940Tracy told friends that her daughter, possibly Erica's assistant, was supposed to be at UVU on September 10th, but Tracy had a bad feeling about it.
00:25:27.280Wait, Erica's best friend had a bad feeling about what was going to happen on September 10th?
00:25:31.520And so she stopped her daughter, Erica's assistant, from going.
00:25:36.560Tracy had a divine intuition that her daughter should not go to UVU, but she didn't share that with Erica about maybe she should have said her husband shouldn't have gone to UVU.
00:25:48.660Maybe if you would share that, if it's your best friend, maybe, did Erica talk to her alleged assistant about that?
00:25:55.360Hey, maybe we shouldn't go, my mom's saying I shouldn't go because she has a bad feeling something bad's going to happen, and if something bad does happen, and it's like, you know, thank God Tracy didn't send her daughter because she had a bad intuition, but did she share that with Erica?
00:26:22.000I'll leave it at that, and we will take a quick break and be back after some sponsors.
00:26:26.620All right, you guys, thanks to you, last year Preborn helped rescue over 80,000 babies, and today you can help save even more.
00:26:34.500Every single day, thousands of women hear the same devastating lie that abortion is their only option, that they're alone, and that there's actually no hope.
00:26:42.380But everything changes the moment a mother in crisis walks into a Preborn network clinic and sees her baby on an ultrasound.
00:26:48.060That one moment doubles her chance of choosing life.
00:26:50.080It's not just an image on a screen they realize, but it's hearing the baby's heartbeat, maybe for the very first time, in that moment she realizes that there's life growing inside of her.
00:26:58.840And it's not a problem that needs to be solved, it's a life that needs to be protected.
00:27:01.940Let's be there for her in that beautiful moment with love, prayer, and support.
00:27:05.340For just $28, you can provide one life-saving ultrasound, and $140 provides five ultrasounds and five chances for life.
00:27:12.700This year, let's make it the biggest baby-saving year in history.
00:27:15.520Take a stand, be bold, speak for those who can't speak for themselves.
00:27:18.700To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby, or visit preborn.com slash Candice.
00:27:27.820I also want to tell you guys about Balance of Nature, because let's be honest, getting all of your daily fruits and vegetables is not always easy.
00:27:33.580Life gets busy, meals get rushed, and nutrition falls through the cracks.

00:28:16.800Okay, something that I want to mention to you that I had been quietly working on to confirm the date for, I'm just going to throw this in here on that same topic.
00:28:24.920I had mentioned to you guys a while ago that on June 19th, Erica purged her Instagram of a lot of pictures, 126 posts she deleted.
00:28:38.080Why would you delete 126 posts off of your Instagram page?
00:28:43.340And when I did my master timeline, I realized that this was the time when things were really heating up with Israel and Iran.
00:28:50.040I had mentioned that to you in the past.
00:28:51.600And I had wondered to myself if she had moved to do that after Charlie beat D.B. Netanyahu in a debate and all of his Zionist thugs at the White House.
00:29:03.380And he had convinced Trump that he should have just a limited military, not exercise, a limited military operation in Iran, which ended up being Operation Midnight Hammer.
00:29:16.560Well, I can now confirm that the date that Charlie went to the White House, went into the White House and went up like toe to toe with B.B. Netanyahu's and his thugs who wanted more action in Iran.
00:29:28.840And he won was on June 18th. So to make that very clear, on June 18th, Charlie goes head to head with the Zionists and B.B. Netanyahu who are trying to convince Trump that there needs to be more action in Iran, that America should get behind.
00:29:48.940And obviously, Charlie's in there saying like the base is going to hate this. Don't do that. That's a very bad idea.
00:29:55.100And Charlie wins. Tucker spoke about that. You can go find the clips of Tucker speaking about the fact that Charlie spoke up for America, really spoke up for Americans and said, don't do this.
00:30:04.940You know, you promise no wars. Keep this as a limited operation.
00:30:08.860That's June 18th. The very next day on June 19th, Erica purges her Instagram. She deletes 126 posts.
00:30:16.140I had wondered if that was the way it went, that Charlie pissed off B.B. and then Erica purged her Instagram.
00:30:22.980I don't know what to make of that, but I wanted to give you guys that data point, which is from our master timeline.
00:30:28.840Fine. Okay. Switching gears here. Not entirely.
00:30:33.880Something else that's on our master timeline is, of course, this Hamptons thing, which it was so strange.
00:30:38.320There were so many lies that came out of this.
00:30:40.680Me, also credit to Max Blumenthal, broke this story that Charlie had had this, as we had described it, a very heated confrontation.
00:30:50.620And he was being pushed by Zionists about his shifting support for Israel.
00:30:54.540They all came out and gave these clean, buttoned-up statements saying, that wasn't true.
00:30:59.760It described it as, oh, we were, it was just like, you know, tossing some ideas to him.
00:31:04.500And Charlie said, well, it was just like a spirited debate, they said.
00:31:07.700And I said, no. Max Blumenthal said no as well.
00:31:10.480That's not what went down in the Hamptons.
