00:00:00.000
All right, guys, happy Thursday. And I am so sorry that we are late. I obviously have been
00:00:05.100
very honest with you about what's going on. I wanted to at first calm myself down,
00:00:09.020
make sure that I approached this topic quite rationally. Again, there have just been another
00:00:14.780
set of, I would just call them bizarre attacks on the phrase Christ is King. They are coming
00:00:19.960
out of absolutely nowhere as they were coming out of absolutely nowhere last year when they
00:00:25.800
were being framed as anti-Semitic. And I want to discuss this thoroughly, you know, because I'm
00:00:31.320
seeing all of you guys tagging me in all of these posts that are coming out of the Daily Wire
00:00:36.200
management team. And so we are going to address them thoroughly. Welcome back to Candace.
00:00:56.480
Okay, so let's start in the past. Obviously, today I was actually going to speak to you about
00:00:59.780
Hugh Jackman being drafted into the Blake Lively lawsuit, but I'm glad that we have pivoted and
00:01:05.540
it's Lent season. And for whatever reason, this just seems to happen again during Lent season as
00:01:10.420
it did last year. So for those of you that are new to my podcast and everybody, I guess, is new to my
00:01:14.560
independent podcast, last year, almost exactly a year, I was fired from the Daily Wire. I think it
00:01:19.900
was March 22nd or March 23rd. And after we agreed to part ways within 24 hours, it might've been 48
00:01:27.260
hours, Andrew Klavan of the Daily Wire released a one hour video, essentially accusing me of many
00:01:33.660
things, but referring to me as anti-Semitic, trying to link me to Nick Fuentes. There was no link between
00:01:39.860
me and Nick Fuentes, but the ADL and Andrew Klavan tried to sort of establish one in his video and they
00:01:47.320
did this via Twitter and then said that the most egregious thing that I had done was used Christ
00:01:53.500
as King against a Jew. And that is just completely not factual. I've never once uttered that phrase
00:01:59.820
at a Jew. At the time that this happened in March, I had not tweeted that phrase, I don't believe,
00:02:05.140
since the prior November is what he was referring to. And I certainly did not tweet it at any Jew.
00:02:12.200
And so an entire scandal was born overnight, really, when people just began going, what is
00:02:18.200
this? Obviously it's Easter week and we are having somebody essentially trying to make it sound as
00:02:25.100
though saying the phrase Christ is King is derogatory in a circumstance if you utter it at a Jew. And yet
00:02:32.280
that circumstance had not happened. And I take questions and people that attack my faith or attack
00:02:40.580
the reason that I have said something very seriously. I take it very seriously. And in the
00:02:44.980
context that I had used the phrase Christ is King was perfectly acceptable the prior November. I
00:02:50.820
tweeted it because the media was trying to get me to engage in an attack against my colleague and I
00:02:57.940
decided to abstain. And I said, blessed are the peacemakers. And I thought that I was choosing peace
00:03:02.540
in that moment. And indeed, that certainly backfired. Anyways, why are we speaking about this today?
00:03:07.520
Well, like I said, many of you have noticed that there has just sort of been these increasing,
00:03:13.360
if you want to call it commentary, commentary that is coming from Daily Wire management,
00:03:18.540
Daily Wire commentators regarding things that I've said, positions that I have, or just appearances
00:03:26.120
that I am making. And, you know, I would like to really leave the Daily Wire in the rearview mirror,
00:03:31.920
which is why when I covered these statements last week, when I went on Theo Vaughn's podcast and Ian
00:03:37.920
Carroll went on Joe Rogan's podcast on the same day, and people were, some people, I would say a small
00:03:43.560
minority, were apoplectic, even though I thought that the conversation was really funny. And I think
00:03:49.780
also illuminating for a lot of people who are getting to see me as opposed to having me being
00:03:54.840
caricatured by the meeting, by the media, just being able to see what I believe in, like what I believe
00:03:58.900
as a Christian. Obviously, that is where I stand, why I am against what Bibi Netanyahu is doing. And
00:04:04.660
that's just not something that is going to change because people are calling me anti-Semitic. I have
00:04:09.720
a Christian perspective on the murder of children, and it doesn't adapt if that child is a Jew or if
00:04:15.300
that child is a Christian, if that child is a Palestinian, or if that child is Israeli. And that
00:04:19.480
seems to really bother people who are aligned with the Zionist initiative. And I believe some people
00:04:26.460
in that space genuinely believe that it is sadder if an Israeli child dies than if a Palestinian child
00:04:32.800
dies. Irrespective, I will just re-up that tweet again for you that Jeremy wrote. And even though my name
00:04:39.320
was not explicitly used, there were only two podcasts that went out that day on major platforms, Theovan and
00:04:44.960
Joe Rogan. And this was his tweet. It was, yesterday was a terrible day for American Jews. The embrace by so many
00:04:52.680
prominent voices of demented, conspiratorial, anti-Jewish voices is one of the saddest, most alarming
00:04:58.180
events in my lifetime. This way lies madness, and worse than madness. Do not let the times cost you.
00:05:04.640
Your soul, audience capture, and unchecked tribalism are tools of the devil. Paranoia and revisionism are
00:05:10.040
too. Even if they really are out to get you, heck, even a righteous cause can lead us to evil if we don't
00:05:15.800
guard our hearts in the quest. The wicked often prosper, and the temptation to prosper often tempts us to
00:05:22.180
join them. But only God offers the richness of salvation, and he already came for us, the only
00:05:27.680
Jewish scapegoat for our sin and fear. Leave the rest of them alone. And my response to this was
00:05:32.780
essentially, I believe in the free markets. Like, if you want more of that, I said, follow Jeremy
00:05:36.280
Boring, follow Daily Wire, sign up for The Daily Wire if you agree with that perspective. What else can
00:05:40.840
I say? There's really not much to say about that. Then, yesterday, Ben Shapiro retweeted an article
00:05:48.040
written by Christopher Rufo. The article was entitled The Anti-Semitic Influencer Problem,
00:05:54.440
and embedded in this article, once again, was referring to me as the anti-Semitic influencer
00:06:00.360
who has gained a platform and has gained a following and is not going away. Now, what's
00:06:06.840
really interesting is the free press was one of the people one year ago who, after I got fired from
00:06:10.340
The Daily Wire, were like, she's done. She's toast. Corporate media is over. Like, you know,
00:06:14.660
because she's not attached to a corporate media head. She's done. It's over. She's crazy. She's
00:06:19.860
had a mental breakdown. And now we're flat. We're flash forwarding and we're fast forwarding. And
00:06:24.760
they're saying, oh, why does she still have a platform? Well, here is the excuse. It's because
00:06:29.160
everyone else is being tempted by the devil. So it's a it's a new flex. But essentially, they were
00:06:36.480
very explicitly calling me anti-Semitic along with Kanye West. And Andrew Tate is also mentioned in the
00:06:44.080
piece. And what am I supposed to think about that? Is it supposed to poke me so that I reply
00:06:49.160
and that I say something about Ben Shapiro? Well, what I can say is, if you want more of that content,
00:06:56.600
you guys, then follow Ben Shapiro. If you want content of people who believe that for simply not
00:07:04.600
aligning yourself with the ambitions and the goals, as the free press believes, of Israel,
00:07:10.040
that somehow makes you anti-Semitic. I personally believe that it makes me a Christian and it makes
00:07:14.500
me and it makes me American first to say that I don't have to pledge allegiance to a foreign nation
00:07:18.980
and the things that they're doing. So I'm not clear on why that came. And then out of nowhere,
00:07:25.620
no one's been saying Christ is king that I know of. Right. I don't think this has been trending
00:07:30.640
beyond today because they have re-upped the conversation. But yesterday, the same day,
00:07:36.920
we had Andrew Klavan, who issued this tweet. The problem with arguing with anti-Semites is that
00:07:43.280
they are genuinely as stupid as bricks. They say Christ is king and America first,
00:07:48.920
then make excuses for Iran's government of radical Islamists dedicated to U.S. destruction.
00:07:54.560
They think Gentiles have tormented and persecuted Jews in one nation after another. So there must be
00:07:59.840
something wrong with Jews. Really, Sherlock? They're not even smart enough to be feckless clowns.
00:08:05.000
Jews are less than 3% of our population and have made amazing contributions in science,
00:08:10.080
industry, finance, and entertainment. And that's not even mentioning the bagels.
00:08:13.840
Oh, the bagels. And while Jews have their evildoers, just like everyone else,
00:08:18.660
the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Nagasaki and the Bolsheviks and Leo Frank are truly the work
00:08:24.560
of semi-literate morons. Now, to be clear, I have spoken about Nagasaki. I have spoken about the
00:08:29.560
Bolsheviks and I obviously have spoken about Leo Frank. And so this and obviously he did the whole
00:08:36.440
video about Christ is king and it was about me. So people are connecting the dots here. And like a
00:08:41.240
week ago, I think it was maybe it was two weeks ago that I made a reference to bagels in New York
00:08:46.140
when joking, saying I couldn't be anti-Semitic living in New York because everybody knows you
00:08:50.160
won't get a bagel. So this was like not exactly something that was difficult for the internet to
00:08:56.920
decipher. First comment was, oh, this is a direct attack on Candace Owens. And people were sending
00:09:00.980
it to me going, what is going on here? OK, I'm like, I don't know. Seven weeks left to give birth
00:09:06.820
and I don't know what all these attacks are about or why suddenly there are all these articles and
00:09:11.440
people doing threads. I'm not going to bend the knee to Israel. So I don't know what the point of
00:09:17.080
this is. I think I made that clear over the last year. And so this morning I wake up and this one
00:09:23.100
really was just unbelievable. So there was a study that was done, a Rutgers study that was done,
00:09:29.120
thy name in vain, how online extremists hijacked Christ is king. Again, nobody has been mentioning
00:09:36.480
Christ is king. So this is one of these incredible things where we are actually being attacked as
00:09:41.660
Christians, but they are purporting that they're attacking us because they're being attacked with the
00:09:46.100
phrase with no evidence of that, actually, actually zero evidence. No one, like I said, this was not
00:09:50.760
trending. No one was speaking about this, but it allows them to get Christians riled up and suddenly
00:09:55.960
you're debating something that's not happening. OK, saying that you can point to some troll
00:10:01.320
accounts on the Internet that might be saying this phrase in a derogatory way is such a crap way to
00:10:08.040
argue. Let's just start with that. I mean, anonymous people on the Internet saying stuff means that
00:10:12.680
something is real and exists and is worthy of a report and a study. Absolutely not. You wake up,
00:10:18.380
you go on the Internet and I get called the N-word like 12 times. Do I get to go, oh, well, this is
00:10:22.640
proof. This is proof of something because anonymous accounts are saying the N-word. No, it might mean
00:10:28.820
it might stipulate that there's proof that you aren't mature enough to be on the Internet.
00:10:32.920
If you get if you're getting your heart broken a thousand times by anonymous trolls, you probably
00:10:36.760
are not mature enough to be on the Internet. You probably shouldn't be on social media,
00:10:39.780
but worthy of an entire study. And who is a part of the study? Well, Jordan Peterson,
00:10:46.080
obviously, who has a contract with Fidelity Wire. I'm going to point something out to you about this.
00:10:50.920
This study and we're going to show you the video parts of the video of this that they put together,
00:10:55.400
which, again, tries to pretend like me and Nick Fuentes are leading a movement together and are
00:11:02.940
doing something really evil. And it's trying to separate Christians and make Christians go,
00:11:07.500
OK, but you have to condemn Candace. You can be a good little Christian, but you have to condemn
00:11:12.420
Candace Owens. We just need you to. And this is how it gets people to move you over. Like,
00:11:17.280
you know, you're you're an OK conservative. We just need you to say that Trump's a fascist.
00:11:22.700
You're not one of those. Like this is like a neocon movement, right? You're you're a good
00:11:26.560
conservative. You're not like those bigots that are wearing the red hats. This is 2016 all over
00:11:31.820
again. And what's really offensive to me, first and foremost, is that it's Lent season.
00:11:35.540
OK. And what you have going on right now is this study. I find this timing to be remarkably
00:11:42.320
suspicious the way they're trying to pull Christians apart and make them think that they
00:11:47.480
can be a better Christian is so reminiscent to me of a discussion I had with Dr. Ben Carson,
00:11:52.520
actually, about slavery. And he was saying that, you know, historically speaking, this was sort of
00:11:58.920
the concept of the field Negro and the house Negro, right? Like you're the house Negro. So you're
00:12:05.460
you're preferred. That's the field Negro. You don't want to be a field Negro. You want to be
00:12:09.480
a house Negro. So here's what you have to do to be a house Negro. This is the same sort of a
00:12:13.480
psychological tactic. They're they're essentially saying there are certain types of Christians that
00:12:18.480
are beyond the pale. And if you want to be a good little house Christian, here's all you have to do.
00:12:23.880
Condemn them. Condemn them them that are out in the field. And I won't play this game anymore.
00:12:28.580
And what I am particularly peeped about regarding the study, which Jordan Peterson took part in,
00:12:32.900
is when you look at because I just said, OK, who funded this study? Who did this study?
00:12:37.660
Is this Christians coming together and recognizing a problem amongst Christians? Because that would
00:12:43.700
make a little more sense. I would still strongly disagree. But if it was all Christians that came
00:12:47.760
together in front of the study and said, hey, we really have a problem. We've got to address it.
00:12:51.740
Then I would be much more understanding this Lenten season. But it's not that. OK, it's not that.
00:12:57.360
Look at the list of the people who were part of the study. So I count one, two, three,
00:13:00.560
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13 individuals who took place in this study.
00:13:06.720
The first principal investigator there that you have, Dr. Lee Jessam, is Jewish. Dr. Jordan
00:13:12.720
Peterson has said he does not believe in Christ. We're going to get to him in a second. So he's
00:13:17.240
unknown, I guess we could say, an atheist, perhaps. Reverend Dr. Johnny Moore, who I would refer to as
00:13:23.880
the token Christian because he's the only one. And he's the one that retweeted this study and got this
00:13:27.720
going this morning. We're going to speak more about him. Then we have Dr. Joel Finkelstein,
00:13:31.840
who is Jewish. We have Jacob Zucker, who is Jewish. We have Danny Sarah Finkelstein, who is Jewish.
00:13:37.100
We have Sonia Yanofsky, who is Jewish. We have Alex Goldenberg, who is Jewish. We have Ohad
00:13:42.280
Fadida, who is Jewish. We have Gideon Furher, who we checked, and he is Jewish. We have Simon Lazarus,
00:13:49.400
who is Jewish. And the last two, Anissa Jagdeep and Ankita Jagdeep, are presumably Hindu,
00:13:56.560
but they are Indian. So this is a study that was funded by Jews to make Christians war with one
00:14:04.160
another during the Lenten season. That is problematic to me, okay? And I hope that if you
00:14:09.920
are a Jewish listener of mine, now that you've probably been enjoying my content and recognizing
00:14:13.740
that these smears about me don't make sense, I am in the middle of a series trying to ironically
00:14:19.660
sue, I mean, to free a Jewish man from prison, Harvey Weinstein, who I believe was wrongfully
00:14:26.040
convicted. And he is one of, was one of the biggest donors to the ADL, who has me on their
00:14:31.160
list as an anti-Semite. But I don't care because I care about the truth and I don't care about
00:14:35.620
whether or not he's Jewish. I don't care who he donates to or what he believes in politically.
00:14:39.240
I care about actual justice. You've probably been watching my series on Justin Baldoni, who
00:14:45.080
is Ashkenazi Jewish and who is, along with Justin Heath and Steve Sorowitz, another Jewish
00:14:53.100
individual, Ashkenazi Jewish individual, being attacked by quote-unquote Christians, right?
00:15:00.080
Christian Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who they grew up, some denomination of Christianity,
00:15:03.920
and yet I take their side, not because they're Jewish, not because I care if his name is Steve
00:15:07.980
Sorowitz, because I think they're right and I think they're telling the truth. And because people are
00:15:13.140
able to get to my content, they can see now that all of these smears have always been ridiculous.
00:15:18.140
I simply don't support Israel and what Israel is doing. And that is my right as an American.
00:15:23.740
So for those of you who watch my content and are Jewish, how would you feel if during a high
00:15:30.840
holy holiday, you found that a group of 13 Christians and one token Jew funded a study saying
00:15:40.900
that, well, you know what? You wearing your yarmulke is actually anti-Christian. I find that to be,
00:15:47.080
you just can't do that right now. And it's not what you, okay, you can do it, but we're just
00:15:50.780
trying to explain to you that there's some of you who are doing it to hurt Christians. So we just
00:15:55.160
need you guys to peel off and recognize which one of you Jews should be shouting at the other Jews.
00:16:02.000
You can be a good Jew or you can be a bad Jew. That is how this study has arrived to Christians.
00:16:08.380
So I'm really trying to communicate to you from the heart of where the frustration and the anger
00:16:12.760
comes from. Okay. It's got nothing to do with antisemitism. It has to do with people being
00:16:16.680
able to clearly see what this is. This is a Jewish funded attack against Christians during the Lenten
00:16:24.900
season. That is a fact. There's no way. And this does not mean that every Jew participated in this.
00:16:29.280
In fact, we have their names right here. We know the person who funded this organization, by the way,
00:16:34.020
he is on this list as well. It's Dr. Joel Finkelstein. He has his father is a rabbi.
00:16:38.700
So to purport and pretend that this is some, you know, Jewish Christian issue, it's just not.
00:16:45.000
Okay. There's something about this that feels slimy. It feels and to know that the lone token
00:16:53.420
Christian, when we look him up, we can find no information about his family, Reverend Dr. Johnny
00:16:58.400
Moore. But what we do know is that he works with and gets paid by the ADL. So this is problematic.
00:17:04.820
This entire report is problematic. And I'm going to show you just how explicit it is in its
00:17:11.140
condemnation of me and in Christians who follow me as they attempt to drive a wedge between us,
00:17:16.240
which I want to be very clear, is not going to happen. Take a listen.
00:17:20.760
Since the advent of Christianity, Christ is King has been a cry for connection to the divine,
00:17:26.720
a declaration of faith, a moving signal between Christians of their shared values.
00:17:31.280
But what happens when it becomes a manipulation tactic designed to deceive Christians?
00:17:37.100
Mentions of Christ is King have increased fivefold on platforms like X in just the past four years.
00:17:43.400
At first glance, it would seem hopeful as people begin to reinvestigate faith in the face of
00:17:48.120
increasing secularization and chaos in the world. But the NCRI, an organization at the forefront of
00:17:54.460
monitoring deep trends and data, observed a striking and nefarious development around the phrase
00:17:59.580
Christ is King beginning in 2021. In 2024, more than 50% of all engagements around Christ is King
00:18:07.600
posts were driven by extremist influencers. The word extremist gets used a lot and many are
00:18:13.620
understandably skeptical at its use. But we're talking about people like this.
00:18:18.740
I used sex as a tool to make women love me so they'd obey me and live in my house and make me
00:18:22.900
money. Catholics and Christians were going missing on Passover. Then they would find bodies and they
00:18:29.920
were able to trace them back to Jews. Blood libel. Real Africans, on average, have an IQ of 65.
00:18:36.360
Posts like these achieved over 13.6 million views and more than 100,000 engagements during Easter 2024
00:18:43.600
alone. While co-opting the phrase for their toxic narrative, figures like Candace Owens and Jake Shields
00:18:50.700
repeat hateful blood libels. And shockingly, by 2024, the most frequently associated term with Christ
00:18:56.620
is King was the word Jew. The intent is clear. Manipulate well-meaning, faithful Christians into having
00:19:03.720
their beliefs tethered to psychopaths. This is nothing short of diabolical. We're caught watching Christ is King
00:19:10.760
being taken by the supremacist right more and more each day. These connections matter. The spiritual,
00:19:16.920
the linguistic, the interpersonal. They shape us, they shape our society, and they shape the world.
00:19:22.760
So what kind of connections do we want to build? And more importantly, what kind of world will we help
00:19:28.740
create? Help retake our values. Whose values? Whose values? And I'm asking that question meaningfully.
00:19:39.160
Whose values are we speaking about? Because you should come forward and you shouldn't use a token
00:19:43.520
Christian if you want to attack Christians. And particularly by using a video clip that's about
00:19:50.080
three seconds taken completely out of context to make it seem as though I was screaming and ranting
00:19:56.660
about Jews is completely ridiculous and it's unbelievably dishonest. And I want to be very clear.
00:20:03.080
People are beginning to see right through you. Okay? So this is backfiring. Obviously,
00:20:08.440
this is backfiring. Now Christ is King is trending all over again. But the part that I really want to
00:20:13.380
drive home for Christians that are watching this is this is intentional and it's evil. Okay? What is
00:20:17.960
happening is evil. There's no other way to say this. Putting this report together, trying to use a token
00:20:23.860
Christian to come out who works with the ADL. There's videos of him. He's speaking about how involved he is
00:20:29.060
in the ADL. In fact, let's listen to the Reverend Johnny Moore, who we can find nothing about other
00:20:33.980
than his ties to the ADL, speaking out about how involved he is with the Anti-Defamation League,
00:20:39.920
which actually specializes in defaming and smearing people. Take a listen.
00:20:44.220
Well, I'm involved in the ADL in all kinds of ways. You know, I'm a part of the ADL and Aspen
00:20:48.800
Institute Civil Society Fellowship. You know, I'm on the advisory board for the Aspen Institute and ADL
00:20:56.800
Civil Society Fellowship. It has shown me where we have to keep our eyes on certain trends and
00:21:08.680
certain ideas. And when people say things, what they actually mean. It's been not only an amazing
00:21:14.600
educational experience, a practical way for me to get into this fight against hate for good,
00:21:20.460
but it has also afforded me the opportunity to learn so much along the way to meet so many
00:21:29.100
different people. And I can tell you, again, I'm not Jewish. I'm Christian. And yet I've just always
00:21:36.140
felt at home, you know, in the ADL community. Wonderful. You should feel at home in the ADL
00:21:41.420
community because you engage in smears against Christians. And that's exactly what that community
00:21:45.280
has always been about. Here's another clip of Reverend Johnny Moore at the Sinai Temple Synagogue
00:21:51.720
in West Los Angeles. He works with the Simon Wiesenthal Center very closely as well. And here
00:21:57.940
he is talking about Christian Zionism, which is what this is really about. Take a listen.
00:22:03.080
I know the state of Israel is strong. It's as strong as it's ever, ever been. The truth is you don't need
00:22:09.060
us. But what I want you to know is that need us or not, we are committed to building a great wall of
00:22:17.100
Christian Zionism all over the world to push back the forces of anti-Semitism. But that also includes
00:22:24.780
educating well-meaning Christians on our own history of Christian anti-Semitism.
00:22:29.920
So, like I said, clearly what this is coming down to is the fact that they simply do not like
00:22:38.660
Christians who will not say that they put Israel first, okay? Everything else is just a song, a
00:22:44.540
dance, a lie, a smear, a well-funded effort to take down people because they do not want people who are
00:22:50.260
just Christians, not Christian Zionists, because I find the two terms to be utterly oxymoronic, if I'm
00:22:57.960
being frank with you, a political ideology where you have to pretend you don't care about the death
00:23:03.780
of children because somehow the ambitions of Bibi Netanyahu in the Middle East mean more, that to me,
00:23:10.280
it seems a bit backwards, I would say. And it's not something that I'm ever going to agree with.
00:23:15.960
So if you're upset that I have influence and you think that by writing more hit pieces on me and more
00:23:21.060
smears about me and pretending that I'm leading an army of people to attack Jews by not asserting
00:23:27.900
that I will do anything to defend Bibi Netanyahu, I would say that you should at least try to time
00:23:35.340
these attacks better than the Lenten season every year. So what's going on at the Daily Wire?
00:23:40.320
What is going on at the Daily Wire that this seems to be something of a fixation for them right now?
00:23:45.080
I cannot figure out. We have gone our separate ways. We have agreed to disagree. I do not understand
00:23:51.680
why if you have signaled to the public that my morality and my beliefs are so incompatible with
00:23:59.580
your holier beliefs, why you feel the need to keep discussing my ideas, why you feel the need
00:24:06.880
to keep subtweeting me, why you feel the need to retweet articles that call me an anti-Semite.
00:24:13.120
Your feelings about me have been made perfectly clear. I don't understand it. I've said I'm not
00:24:19.520
folding. I'm not bowing to it. I'm not fighting it. I hope I hope every person who agrees with you,
00:24:25.200
as I said, supports you and supports your tweets. What is going on at the Daily Wire right now?
00:24:32.240
OK, I'm going to show you this Jeremy Boring tweet. Actually, before this, what we'll do is we'll read
00:24:38.180
a couple of these advertisements before we get into his tweet about Christ is King and the way that he
00:24:43.480
is, again, giving us a Twitter sermon on what it really means and the people to watch out for.

00:25:48.080
let's bring up Jeremy Boring's tweet about Christ is King. He says, there's no effort on the American
00:25:53.680
right to prevent Christians from declaring the truth that Christ is King. There's no effort, guys.
00:25:58.320
There is an important effort to encourage Christians to be discerning about the motives of some
00:26:03.720
malfactors who would exploit the language of faith in order to foster evil. There is a reason Jesus
00:26:11.500
Christ the King says that not everyone who calls him Lord will be saved. There is a reason an entire
00:26:17.440
commandment warrants against carrying his name in vain. Anyone who says Christ is King because they
00:26:22.700
believe Jesus of Nazareth is the King of Kings, the Son of God, and the risen Lord is whom has found
00:26:27.420
forgiveness of sins and life eternal is proclaiming the awesome and terrifying truth of the gospel.
00:26:32.720
Anyone who says Christ is King to assert their dominance over others or create tribal division
00:26:38.360
and foster hatred of outsiders is not proclaiming the Prince of Peace, but the father of lies.
00:26:44.080
In vain do they carry the name of the Lord and the Christ they declare is the Antichrist who would
00:26:48.720
have your soul. Fortunately, it isn't hard to tell one from the other if you have eyes to see and ears
00:26:53.640
to hear. You know, I'm really happy that he has pivoted and he seems as of late to be really concerned
00:26:57.860
about everybody's souls. And he seems to have a very solid handle on who is going to be saved and
00:27:04.280
who is not going to be saved. Maybe this is one of the reasons that he refers to himself as the God
00:27:09.040
King. Lowercase, just to be clear, the lowercase God King. And so what I would like to do in an effort
00:27:17.400
to foster these meaningful conversations that they seem to be, you know, rather inclined to continue
00:27:25.420
to discuss and rather inclined to continue to suggest that there are some Christians who need
00:27:31.280
to peel off from other Christians is to publicly offer Jeremy Boring, Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson
00:27:39.860
an opportunity to debate their ideas with me. Again, we live very close to each other. We work
00:27:47.480
close to each other. And I'm very happy to have this debate with you publicly because we could get
00:27:53.340
rather than sermons via tweets, your actual ideas on what it means to be antisemitic, your actual ideas
00:27:59.380
on pornography, which I've got to be honest, it's getting a little confusing for me as to when you
00:28:04.380
condemn pornography and when you don't, because I know I've sat across from you guys on backstage and I
00:28:09.360
didn't feel that you condemned pornography. In fact, I almost explicitly remember Ben Shapiro stating that
00:28:16.400
there was nothing wrong with the Jewish faith in terms of viewing pornography because it was the act
00:28:25.100
that made somebody sinful rather than the thought, right? The thought and not the deed, if I'm correctly
00:28:31.700
quoting that. I also remember vaguely, and maybe we can pull up the clip, your friend, because you talk a lot
00:28:38.440
about Andrew Tate. There's been a lot about Andrew Tate in his history with pornography, right?
00:28:42.600
Speaking of futuristic pornography, you remember your friend, Dennis Prager, speaking about pornography
00:28:47.760
next to you guys on The Daily Wire, speaking about how he believes that if you're looking at porn
00:28:55.300
to prevent yourself from cheating on your wife, that it's not problematic. And then I remember him
00:29:01.660
doubling down on that perspective when similarly discussing AI child porn as a preventative measure
00:29:08.820
to stop pedophiles from molesting children. Do we have that clip, guys, of that discussion? And what I
00:29:16.460
don't remember following that was any of you guys who are now so passionately against pornography as it
00:29:22.020
pertains to Andrew Tate and his history, I don't remember that same amount of energy being used to speak out
00:29:29.560
against Dennis Prager and the child pornography, AI pornography discussion. Do we have that clip of
00:29:35.220
him? Okay, so let's first show the one of him speaking with Matt Fradd about AI child porn.
00:29:45.240
Speaking of pedophilia, suppose a man says, I view animated child porn. So there's no real victim in
00:29:55.620
that sense of child pornography, which we both agree is horrendous. And by viewing animated child
00:30:00.740
porn, it prevents me from acting out sexually on a child. Now, I deny that. I think that pornography
00:30:06.320
inflames us to then want to act those fantasies out. And I think there's good studies that back that up.
00:30:11.860
But surely you wouldn't say to the man who views animated child pornography, that's not bad,
00:30:17.400
so long as you don't act it out. Wouldn't you want to help this poor sick dude? Yes, I would.
00:30:21.760
But I'm thrilled that he's not acting it out. Agreed. Of course. Well, that's big. We're both
00:30:27.720
thrilled that he might have a poor substitute, but it is a substitute if that were the case.
00:30:35.280
No child is being used. It's all animated. Yeah. And he- But would you use the word evil of animated
00:30:43.560
child pornography? Because I certainly would. No, I would use evil only with behavior. That's where we
00:30:48.560
might differ from forgetting the sex issue. You can't be evil. You didn't do evil if you thought
00:30:54.500
evil. You did evil if you committed. If I'm masturbating to animated pictures of pornography,
00:30:57.580
I'm not doing something evil. That's correct. Yeah, I think that's despicable. Yeah. Really?
00:31:02.640
Yes, of course. Who is being hurt? You have to have a victim. Oh, I'll tell you. There's at least
00:31:07.340
two people being hurt. There's the person who's poisoning himself by encouraging him to think,
00:31:12.560
acting out on children. And there's also the animator. Okay, wait a minute. We both are aching
00:31:18.020
for him not to have those fantasies. I agree with you, but I- But you won't call it evil. I won't
00:31:23.140
call a fantasy evil. There's too much real evil on earth for me to start being preoccupied with
00:31:29.820
people's thinking. It's not just thinking. It's him masturbating to images of children. Okay, so
00:31:35.480
the real question about the whole pornography issue is not pornography. It's masturbation.
00:31:41.600
There was a Catholic tradition- I disagree. I think it's both. I think both masturbation is evil,
00:31:46.660
but I think pornography is- Okay, so I don't think masturbation is evil.
00:31:51.420
Again, I am not exactly monitoring your tweets and discussions, but I just don't remember you
00:31:57.180
guys being so vociferous about this clip. And to the contrary, I remember there being almost a wall
00:32:05.120
of silence. And again, if I'm wrong, I'm happy to correct it because I invite you guys to have this
00:32:09.420
discussion about pornography, since this seems to be one of your gripes. And I'm a Catholic,
00:32:15.200
so my opinions have always been consistent on this. And I totally agree with Matt Fradd regarding
00:32:21.140
his perspective that AI child porn, even if it's AI, would be tremendously harmful to our society,
00:32:27.240
even though there would be no real victim. I think there eventually there would be some real victims.
00:32:32.000
I remember him stating this, that he had this viewpoint about pornography on the Daily Wire platform,
00:32:37.220
actually, if I think we have that clip, take a listen.
00:32:53.020
You did indeed. Okay, so my answer, when it's raised on my radio show, I have a male-female hour,
00:32:59.260
and I'm very open about sexual subjects. I always ask if a wife calls me and says,
00:33:06.480
my husband looks at pornography, like I found on his computer, I have one question.
00:33:13.160
How is your life of intimacy with your husband? Is it good? In other words,
00:33:19.220
is the pornography in lieu of you or in addition to you?
00:33:25.040
And I know this is not a religious answer, and I'm not even giving a religious answer.
00:33:30.120
I'm giving what I think is a moral and realistic answer.
00:33:32.820
Men want variety. And if adultery is a substitute for, if pornography is a substitute for one's wife,
00:33:42.320
it's awful. If it's a substitute for adultery, it's not awful. That is my unpredictable answer.
00:33:50.320
Well, there is a clinical rule of thumb that's akin to that, I would say. If you're trying to decide
00:33:54.560
clinically whether someone's partaking in a habit, say use of alcohol, has reached the threshold of
00:34:01.060
clinical significance, one of the things you do is ask the person you're assessing,
00:34:06.480
you know, is it interfering with your employment? Has it got you in trouble with the law? Is your
00:34:10.140
family complaining? Does it stop you from doing other things that you should be doing?
00:34:14.280
And so the judgment isn't the use of the forbidden substance itself. It is in some sense
00:34:19.320
consequentialist. And I'm not saying that that's an absolute, but it is a hallmark of clinical judgment.
00:34:24.280
Yeah. Um, I just disagree with all of that. And like I said, I don't remember you guys being so
00:34:31.720
vociferous against the topic of pornography when this was trending. I just don't. And I'm happy to
00:34:38.420
be wrong. I'm very happy to be wrong. Maybe you did dedicate the same amount of tweets about pornography.
00:34:42.760
And you also said, like you've said it to others, anybody who platforms or speaks to Dennis Prager
00:34:48.600
after this, she'll be blacklisted, whatever the whole song and dances that you guys do about Andrew
00:34:55.800
Tate's webcam business that he had in the past, which I fully disagree with. And I have said multiple
00:35:00.240
times that I fully disagree with because I do not agree that watching any porn is okay. But I do recall
00:35:06.460
sitting across from Ben Shapiro as he made that same argument that it was the thought and not the
00:35:10.580
actual deed. And Matt Walsh on that backstage said, no, that's not right. So let me know. I'm just
00:35:18.300
saying it does. It just seems like you guys have a lot to say about me. In fact, speaking of Jordan
00:35:21.280
Peterson, who's not a Christian at all, but is a clinical psychologist, he contributed today. And here's
00:35:26.880
what he had to say about me, because obviously the issue here is me saying Christ is king. It's totally
00:35:32.560
me saying Christ is king. That is problematic and is going to break the psyche of Christians if they
00:35:40.060
don't realize that when I say it's an evil, even though I've never shouted the phrase Christ is king
00:35:44.420
at a Jew in my life, but we're going to keep beating up this idea. We're going to keep pretending
00:35:48.540
there's this boogeyman. That's just never happened. It just actually has never happened. And you're
00:35:52.620
trying to conflate commentary on the internet to make it fetch, to make it seem as though it's happened.
00:35:57.320
It never once took place. Okay. I say Christ is king because I know that Christ is king and I know that
00:36:04.500
Christ is truth and I know that Christ is light. And I knew now, like I knew then that attacks against
00:36:10.180
Christ and those who don't stand up for him and allow this little chipping away at our faith to
00:36:15.620
happen, I know that those attacks won't stand. A lie cannot defeat the truth. That has been a lesson
00:36:21.260
since this entire year, since I have left the Daily Wire, I have learned that the smears, the lies,
00:36:28.220
the libel, the things that have been said about me in the press after surviving it, which seems to me
00:36:35.340
to be the issue here is I survived it. I knew that it wouldn't stand because it wasn't true.
00:36:40.740
I have no hatred in my heart towards Jewish people. I have no hatred in my heart towards
00:36:44.300
Christians. I have no desire to divide Christians. I have a desire, I hope, for Christians to come to
00:36:50.640
the fullness of truth. I hope that Christians and I hope that this discussion will wake up many
00:36:56.000
Christians to what Christian Zionism really is, which I believe is the abuse of scripture to get
00:37:02.560
people to align with what has always been a political party. Jews did not support the Zionist
00:37:07.800
movement when it began. That's a fact. Historically speaking, Jews worldwide did not support the
00:37:13.400
Zionist movement. And in the moment right now, there are Jews who do not support the Zionist movement
00:37:18.280
and they're told that they're not Jews, which lets you know that it is not a faith. It is not a
00:37:23.140
faith. It is a political party. That is my belief. And it is not subject to change because I'm being
00:37:28.600
smeared again by Barry Weiss's The Free Press. So let's get to Jordan Peterson's tweet. Let's see
00:37:35.120
how he has weighed on this as a as a non-Christian. Jordan Peterson writes, Candace Owens, a true
00:37:40.760
pharisaical pretender. She vociferously proclaims her devotion to Christ for no other reason than to
00:37:47.700
elevate her perceived status, her outrageous design not to shout the truth from the rooftops,
00:37:52.320
build bridges or make peace, but to subvert Christianity itself with its new force to her
00:37:57.060
own purposes. She's literally using God's name in vain. There are a few more unforgivable sins. I
00:38:02.580
want to again remind you, he is not a Christian. He does not accept Christ. Okay. So he must not know
00:38:07.680
what it means to be pharisaical for him to be doing this as someone who has publicly declared that he
00:38:13.640
does not believe in Christ. Yeah. Well, there might be a reason that he got absolutely destroyed in the
00:38:18.980
comments of people waking up and going, wait, what are you doing? This is Rabbi Shmuley, right? Rabbi
00:38:23.340
Shmuley citing New Testament verses to me while also saying, I don't believe in Christ. So what are you
00:38:29.920
doing? Is this a Snapple fact to you? Like something you get tattooed on your lower back in high school?
00:38:35.560
If you don't believe in Christ, what are you doing citing the New Testament? Is it academic perhaps for
00:38:42.180
you? You like the way it sounds? Anyways, let's go on. It's maybe something he wants to put on a
00:38:46.540
Zanga profile or something like aim. He continues, woe to you scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
00:38:53.060
This is literally what I said to Rabbi Shmuley. You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful
00:38:57.260
on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth. This just came at me
00:39:03.260
today. And it goes on. He goes on, right? There's another one. Isn't there a third tweet behind this?
00:39:09.120
Maybe there's not. You got Jordan Peterson now who is pretending to be a Christian because he wants
00:39:17.100
to divide Christians on this topic. Again, reminder, nothing happened this week regarding
00:39:23.340
Christ as king. Okay. So this is an attack on the faith. There's no other way for us to take a look
00:39:28.560
at this. Take a look at this report rather that was published than a random attack on the Christian
00:39:35.120
faith that's meant to divide Christians. They cannot pretend that someone was being victimized.
00:39:38.840
Something happened on the internet that something was trending. The only thing that has been
00:39:42.620
routinely happening on the internet as of late is people debating whether or not America should be
00:39:46.880
in this marriage with Israel all the time. That's a political debate. It has nothing to do with our
00:39:51.460
faith. No one, least of all me, despite speaking about the free speech issues that are coming because
00:39:57.180
people are believing that you can't criticize Israel. I didn't speak about this on the show and then
00:40:01.780
say Christ is king. No, I said, I think Bibi Netanyahu is a monster because I do. And that's not subject to
00:40:08.220
change. Again, I can't tell you that that is not subject to change enough. And I've already survived
00:40:13.920
your attack. So how much bigger can your smears get? Okay. I'm going to get to some of your comments
00:40:20.660
and to continue showing you like what else has been going on the internet because I'm interested in what
00:40:24.660
you guys believe this is and how you believe it should arrive to Christians. And I'm also interested
00:40:30.200
in hearing the Jewish opinion on this. Now we have gone through this timeline. You are seeing all of
00:40:34.060
this. People pretending that they're being victimized by speech that wasn't said. Okay.
00:40:40.700
Pharisaical. Okay. What? What are you talking about? It is Easter. You're not a Christian. Okay. We're
00:40:47.180
leading up to Easter and you are not a Christian and you are telling us about the Pharisees.
00:40:53.920
Yeah, that's pretty rich, Jordan Peterson. I think that's pretty rich. Reminding you guys about home title
00:40:58.700
lock. Did you know that scammers can literally steal your home right out from under you? The FBI calls it
00:41:03.060
house stealing and it's a growing real estate scam targeting American homeowners. Here's how it
00:41:06.780
works. Criminals forward your signature on just one document. They use a fake notary stamp. They
00:41:10.820
pay a small fee and they file it with your local recorder's office. And just like that, your home
00:41:15.280
title has been transferred out of your name. So let me ask you, when was the last time that you checked
00:41:19.940
your home title? If you're like me, the answer is never. And that's exactly what scammers are counting
00:41:24.380
on. That's why I trust home title lock. Their million dollar triple lock protection helps keep your
00:41:28.760
home and equity safe. With home title lock, you can get immediate 24 seven monitoring of your
00:41:33.380
property, urgent alerts. If there are any changes and fraud should happen, their US based restoration
00:41:38.680
team will spend up to $1 million to fix the fraud and restore your title at no additional cost. And
00:41:43.240
here's the best part. I've teamed up with home title lock to give you a free title history report.
00:41:48.100
So you can find out if you're already a victim and access your personal title expert, a $250 value
00:41:54.240
just for signing up. So head to home title lock.com and use my promo code Candace 250 or click on the
00:42:01.020
link in the description. That's home title lock.com promo code Candace 250 to get the protection and
00:42:06.980
peace of mind that you deserve. Okay. I'm going to, again, just ask you guys, what do you think is
00:42:13.620
going on at the daily wire? Because genuinely I am just completely miffed. I don't understand it.
00:42:19.260
Like I said, they have made their positions very clear about what they view about me,
00:42:25.440
what they think about me. They made it loud and clear last year. They are for what reason making
00:42:31.340
it loud and clear again? Is it because I went on Theo Vaughn? Is everybody triggered about Theo Vaughn?
00:42:36.240
And I want to, again, assert that I will debate all of you at the same time. Okay. I am literally
00:42:44.060
33 weeks pregnant and I am happy to host you here. Okay. Happy to host you to sit around and to debate
00:42:51.220
your ideas of what antisemitism is because they've widened. I think they've widened a bit since I've
00:42:56.520
been at the daily wire. What you define antisemitism as maybe it hasn't. Maybe I just wasn't aware when I
00:43:02.520
was at the daily wire. I would definitely like to get into your theology for sure. I would like to
00:43:09.680
understand what it is, who you think you are to assert when or where or how somebody should say
00:43:18.480
Christ is king. I find that argument to be exactly like the argument that is made from people on the
00:43:25.120
left when they try to explain to us when it's appropriate for women to say that they're women
00:43:30.020
because it could be hurtful if you say it and Dylan Mulvaney is there wearing a dress.
00:43:34.880
You know, there's a time and a place that could be transphobia. You could trip it. Okay. But it's a truth.
00:43:39.840
I am a woman. I'm a woman. So why do I have to care about how somebody feels about the phrase?
00:43:47.260
And again, I find it to be disingenuous because there was no person that was shouted down by me
00:43:52.940
saying Christ is king if they were a Jew. And if that had happened, it would still be true,
00:43:57.720
but it never happened. So this entire debate seems to be hinging upon a non-event, which again,
00:44:03.580
to me is incredibly disingenuous. And maybe I have it wrong. Maybe you guys did experience something.
00:44:08.980
Maybe you were walking down the street. Maybe Ben Shapiro was walking down the street and somebody
00:44:12.060
chased him down and said Christ is king. And so he did experience that. And if you did,
00:44:16.000
I would really suggest you to illuminate that because if you're just going to keep saying random
00:44:20.540
accounts on the internet, okay, then I have the right to proclaim that I suffer racism every single
00:44:25.300
day. And it's never been bigger or happening more than it is right now because I log on to X and
00:44:30.800
people say the N word. And so therefore I am perpetually a victim who has the right to squeeze
00:44:36.080
speech, right? To let people know that their souls will be condemned unless they recognize that they
00:44:45.120
shouldn't be aligning or being followed by or being retweeted by whatever it is or have anybody in their
00:44:50.880
comments ever that says something offensive to a black person. It feels a little Black Lives Matter to
00:44:56.220
me. It does. It feels like we're using and recycling the same arguments that were used during BLM to call
00:45:02.460
everybody a name, anti-Semitic, everyone a conspiracy theorist, everybody this or that, when at its core,
00:45:10.120
it's trying to control people. That's how I feel. I feel that you want me to somehow align with
00:45:17.440
Christian Zionism. You think that you have a right to my platform, right? You think, well, if we didn't
00:45:23.340
destroyer, we have to try one more time and get our friends to write articles. And on this same day,
00:45:28.620
by the way, so you've got Jordan Peterson, you've got Andrew Klavan, you've got Ben Shapiro retweeting
00:45:33.140
Chris Ruffo. Look at this in the Daily Beast. Same day, guys. Same day. Oh, why MAGA must expel.
00:45:38.960
This is their new position. We must expel. We must separate. We need the field Negroes and the house
00:45:43.840
Negroes. We must expel the podcast Pied Pipers of anti-Semitism. And it's a picture of me and Tucker
00:45:49.300
Carlson and Andrew Tate. And also mentioned in this article is Ian Carroll, who was just on Joe
00:45:54.780
Rogan. And he's got to be expelled. He's not even MAGA. He's not even MAGA. And he's already got to
00:45:59.020
get expelled, guys. And all you have to do is listen to people who didn't support Trump,
00:46:04.580
who are now MAGA, and are telling you that you must, here's who you must expel so that we can become
00:46:11.940
what? So that we can become who? Yeah. Who wrote this article, by the way? Pull that back up. Who
00:46:19.020
was this article written by? Daniela Greenbaum Davis. So again, this is another Jewish person
00:46:25.680
who is leaning into this and attacking people and pretending that everyone who is not allegiant to
00:46:32.820
Israel is problematic and must be expelled. Okay. This is a very obvious attack. Okay. And this is what
00:46:40.520
leads to people having theories about coordinated power behind the scenes, because this couldn't all
00:46:46.360
have just happened on the same day magically. It just couldn't. I don't think it could have me,
00:46:50.560
but you know, I'm a conspiracy theorist, whatever it is that you want to call me for saying Christ is
00:46:57.000
king and also for not worshiping and falling on my hands and knees to worship Bibi Netanyahu.
00:47:01.920
Okay. Whatever. That might make me, I don't know, a real Christian. Okay. Let's get into some of your
00:47:06.400
comments. I really want to see what you guys were thinking about this. What is going on? Again,
00:47:09.940
the offer stands. I would debate all of you at the same time. Little old me, ready to deal with
00:47:17.720
your impenetrable logic and fortitude and clarity on these matters. Anytime. Let's do it. I know,
00:47:27.700
I think actually Andrew Klavan specifically said he shouldn't even debate because he's so smart and
00:47:32.040
above it. I think it's like you can bring up his exact tweet, but at the beginning of his tweet,
00:47:36.140
he'd certainly said the problem with arguing with anti-Semites is that they are genuinely as stupid
00:47:40.720
as bricks. You know, we're not even worth having the argument with. Well, I would like to challenge
00:47:46.660
you, Andrew, to just a debate, healthy debate about your ideas. Okay. Elizabeth has written,
00:47:55.420
as someone who used to be a liberal and now identifies more as a moderate, your reporting on
00:47:59.840
the facts is fair and unbiased. It's refreshing to see a show that is both informative and thought
00:48:04.580
provoking while also being funny. I'm officially hooked. Thank you, Elizabeth. I appreciate that.
00:48:08.440
And again, the more that people get to my content directly, these articles don't matter anymore.
00:48:13.980
These reports being done don't matter anymore. It just catalyzes the destruction of people who lie.
00:48:21.780
Biango writes, it isn't it strange at, as they added Andrew Tate and Jake Shields, who aren't Christian,
00:48:28.200
nor do they say Christ is King onto the clip. That's so funny. I didn't even realize that. Yeah.
00:48:32.040
Why is Andrew Tate in that clip of this honest report that was done by the NCRI, funded and
00:48:38.940
founded by Joel Finkelstein? Why are you including Andrew Tate if this is about Christ is King? He
00:48:44.480
doesn't he doesn't say that. What are you even talking about? Jake Shields doesn't purport to
00:48:49.760
be a Christian. What are we even talking about? Again, this is a divisionary tactic. Bob Catlion writes,
00:48:55.920
just wanted to send some support your way. You are literally out here doing the Lord's work. Keep
00:48:59.420
preaching and exposing these lies. Much blessed. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Catherine
00:49:03.600
writes, right, Aspen Institute. I'm so tired of this religion baiting. We see you. Thank you, Candace.
00:49:09.840
Thank you guys so much for that. Alexandra writes, what they do not realize is that the truth,
00:49:13.520
this truth awakening is Christ's plan. And this is a spiritual battle. Jesus Christ is coming back.
00:49:19.120
Candace is fulfilling her calling. God bless your family and you. You know, Christ actually never left.
00:49:24.380
And thank you so much for saying that. And yeah, I declare Christ is king as I just know that we win.
00:49:31.020
Like we just win. All we have to do is tell the truth. All we have to do is not to harbor hatred in
00:49:37.360
our heart. All we have to do is be willing to completely, completely be transparent, to have the debates
00:49:42.140
and to have the discussions. And that's enough. That is enough. There's we don't need to plot behind
00:49:47.800
the scenes. We don't need to get articles dropped on the same day, attacking a phrase. We just have
00:49:54.400
to keep saying the truth unapologetically. Mila writes, our Lord God and Savior, Eastern Orthodox,
00:50:01.120
Jesus Christ is king of kings and Lord of lords. Amen. Mira Costa writes, you know, the haters are
00:50:07.400
watching when they mentioned the bagels. They're your biggest fan. Yeah. How do we know that was about
00:50:11.320
me? Because I just had mentioned bagels. I think we actually had that clip. You want to roll that,
00:50:14.620
Skylar? I hope now people can reflect on really everything that happened last year to me and
00:50:20.460
people that have written like, yes, I love your content. Like I, you know, I'm just so sad that
00:50:23.720
like, you know, I found out that you hate Jews. And I'm like, guys, it's not true. It's completely
00:50:28.780
crazy. I lived in New York. I was born in New York. You cannot hate Jews and be in New York City.
00:50:34.240
You will never get a bagel. Okay. It's just not real. So there you go. That was, like I said,
00:50:39.840
it was not subtle when Andrew, um, Clavin had mentioned that. And yes, to someone in the chat
00:50:45.460
that is saying, you know, Andrew Tate is not Christian. Yeah. That's the point. He's not
00:50:49.360
Christian. Like, why would I do it? Like if he was purporting to be Christian and was posting long
00:50:54.640
sermons on X about what Christians needed to do, it would be problematic. But it's like me,
00:50:59.760
Harvey Weinstein's not a Christian. I'm trying to free him from prison. I don't agree. Theologically,
00:51:04.700
I do not agree with Andrew Tate and I do not agree with Harvey Weinstein. Like, I don't know
00:51:09.640
what to say to you. Like, duh, that should be self-evident by the fact that we are of different
00:51:15.420
faiths and you can still have conversations with these people and you should always communicate
00:51:20.900
what you don't agree with, as I've done with the Harvey Weinstein series. I don't agree with a lot
00:51:24.680
of stuff that he did. I also don't believe he is guilty of the crimes which he is locked up in prison
00:51:29.400
for. And so I have a moral obligation, I feel, to show the public how the Me Too movement has been
00:51:34.380
abused and what happened to Harvey Weinstein. And it's race and it's gender and all that doesn't
00:51:38.600
matter to me whatsoever. I just want to do the right thing because it's important to tell the
00:51:42.940
truth. Maybe one day I'll get people to convert to Christianity, but I'm still in this learning
00:51:48.560
period myself, obviously, as someone who was newly baptized a year ago. And so I don't want to be one
00:51:53.520
of these people that constantly gives people sermons. I just want to be able to live my faith out
00:51:57.220
loud and to be able to declare whenever I want that Christ is King. One day I will be, though. I'll be
00:52:02.060
ready. I'll be on the level of my husband. I'm going to read some more of your comments,
00:52:05.420
first reminding you, lastly, about American financing, because I know interest rates have
00:52:09.320
dropped and it's time to take advantage of that. A lot of Americans are struggling to keep up with
00:52:12.820
their everyday bills, eggs, coffee. You're reaching for the credit cards to pay for all of that. Well,
00:52:17.600
if you are a homeowner, interest rates have fallen into the fives. That's nearly a quarter of the
00:52:22.020
average credit card rate. American financing is helping homeowners like you save an average of
00:52:26.060
$800 a month by tapping into your home's equity and wiping out high interest debt. And the best part is
00:52:31.540
there are no upfront fees to get started. Credit card rates are insane. And if you're carrying a
00:52:35.760
balance every month, you're stuck in an endless cycle. Break free today, call American financing
00:52:39.740
and see how much you could be saving. And if you start now, you may even delay the next two mortgage
00:52:43.820
payments. So call 800-795-1210. That's 800-795-1210. Or visit Americanfinancing.net slash Owens.
00:52:52.500
That's Americanfinancing.net slash Owens. I also want to say, if you guys want to do this debate,
00:52:58.300
please, we don't need lawyers. Okay. Just like say yes. I just like literally do not want to deal
00:53:05.280
with lawyers. Just say, yeah, I will do the debate tomorrow. I'm going to be home for a while. I've
00:53:10.540
got one more trip to LA before I give birth and that's it. Okay. So this can happen. Baby's due in
00:53:18.060
seven weeks. Like I said, I'll sit across from all you big guys who know so much. You know, you're a
00:53:24.400
genius at psychiatry and psychology, Dr. Jordan Peterson. It's interesting to see in the comments
00:53:31.880
how completely ratioed he was because what does that say? What does that say? And I have said
00:53:36.860
nothing back to him, by the way, nothing back to him because you just can't, I just don't understand
00:53:43.760
people that think you're going to wake up one day and attack Christ is King. And that's going to be
00:53:49.980
like a good position to have and to deem someone pharisaical who hasn't even made that declaration.
00:53:55.520
I had my producer check. I was like, when was the last time I tweeted it? December, he said.
00:53:59.540
December. Oh, because it was Christmas. Like, okay. And the funny thing about this report is it says
00:54:04.780
Candace Owens made the phrase go viral during Easter. Oh my gosh, they're Christians go like
00:54:11.360
saying Christ is King during Easter and Christmas. What are we going to do? We've got an anti-Semitism
00:54:16.020
problem. I mean, it's just ridiculous. And that's how the truth is, by the way, defends itself like
00:54:22.260
a lion. I didn't have to get petty with Jordan Peterson as he did his thread speaking about me
00:54:28.500
because people saw it and they were able to respond and they were able to actually learn more about
00:54:32.860
Jordan Peterson via that thread than Jordan Peterson was able to teach them about me. And I
00:54:38.120
went to down with him. I'm open to having that discussion, Dr. Jordan Peterson, and you can team up
00:54:42.840
because I am that confident in my beliefs and I am that confident in the things that I have said
00:54:47.540
publicly. And I am that confident in the things that I will continue to represent publicly. I am
00:54:53.200
not a Christian Zionist. I am just a Christian. And I hope that helps. Okay. We have another comment
00:54:59.920
here from Laura. She writes, obviously, from the Bible, if the world hates you, know that it has hated me
00:55:06.740
before. I chose you out of the world. Therefore, the world hates you. Yeah, that is such John 15,
00:55:12.420
18 and 19. And she writes, you're doing an amazing job. Greetings from Costa Rica. Daniel writes,
00:55:17.340
I could feel your rage in the beginning of the video and now feel it too. Thank you for fighting
00:55:20.860
this fight for us. Porn is destroying my fellow brothers. You'll be getting more of my money.
00:55:25.480
Thank you, Daniel. I really appreciate that. Candace Owens is spreading hate, writes Lori.
00:55:29.500
What? Shocker. What I hear is just facts. Get it, girl. Jesus is king. Love you, Candace. Stay safe.
00:55:34.000
We need you. Thank you so much, Lori. You guys, this is why I can't even be mad because I just love you
00:55:38.800
guys. And like I said, you guys got me through the last year. Obviously, my faith got me through
00:55:43.320
last year. My husband got me through this last year. But also you guys who were just like,
00:55:46.000
Candace, do not let this knock you down. We know who you are. We've been with you
00:55:48.780
on this journey for a while. And if I didn't have the confidence of you guys knowing who I am and
00:55:54.800
giving myself every single day, giving you guys pieces of me, letting you guys learn about me,
00:55:59.440
I wouldn't be able to do what I do. I genuinely wouldn't be able to do what I do.
00:56:02.760
Um, and so thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. I'm incredibly grateful. Zachary writes,
00:56:07.660
Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, two of the most popular podcasters and promoters of truth.
00:56:11.800
You both will explore any story, no matter where it takes you. I smell fear. Yeah,
00:56:16.660
I'm always willing to be proven wrong. I'm willing to change my position. I'm willing to debate.
00:56:22.180
I'm willing to debate. And I do find that this sort of approach to preaching, uh, from behind a screen
00:56:30.320
and telling people and trying to direct people into what now just feels like smears more than
00:56:36.600
anything else. Not really positions, no evidence of those things. If you have true evidence of those
00:56:42.480
claims that I screamed Christ is King and a Jew, then present it, present it, stop doing these really
00:56:50.300
long posts, mostly because most people have ADHD and can't even get to the bottom of these like
00:56:54.440
Twitter sermons. You know, I think it's just easier to just make it short, do a podcast episode.
00:56:58.420
I don't know. Um, Mila. Oh, I've already read Mila's commentary. Love Queen writes,
00:57:03.880
God bless you. It is because you tell the truth no matter what. And it's because you stand up for
00:57:07.280
anyone whose rights have been trampled, just like the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. This is what they are
00:57:11.480
mad about. Thank you. Yeah. I find the timing to be interesting that I'm standing up for speech and
00:57:15.560
I have not pivoted my opinion on that at all. Defended it when it was the January Sixers defending it now,
00:57:21.240
but it's Mahmoud Khalil. And for some reason when it was a J Sixers, no one called me anti-Semitic.
00:57:26.520
Now all of a sudden, because this guy's name is Mahmoud Khalil, it's anti-Semitism. I don't get
00:57:31.060
it and I don't care to get it, to be honest with you. It's my position. I'm sticking to it.
00:57:35.820
Lastly, Whisper writes, Candace, stay confident and principled. We support you. Trust me, I will
00:57:40.960
remain principled. Trust me, um, that it's all bigger than us. Like we are so small. All of us are
00:57:47.860
just so small in all of this. And if I'm the conduit to the debate, great. This platform is not mine.
00:57:53.200
It's God's. I've said that for a long time. Every, every single mass that I go to, uh, every
00:57:59.320
Sunday, cause you can't miss it or you're in sin. Um, I, the first thing I do is just, I just express
00:58:05.280
gratitude to God for giving me a platform. And I pray for the same thing every week amongst
00:58:09.240
other things. I just say, I pray that you just give me the words that you want shared with the
00:58:13.100
world because this is your platform and it's not mine. I'm so small in this. And, and I know Tucker
00:58:16.860
has the same perspective. He's one of the most wonderful human beings, by the way,
00:58:21.100
I have dealt with everyone. He is genuinely one of the most wonderful human beings and
00:58:25.720
you know, support Tucker, support Tucker Carlson, support the people that are stepping out of
00:58:31.060
bounds by trying to tell you the truth and saying things that are not permitted by the mainstream
00:58:36.220
media and the Barry Weisses and the Danielle Green bombs, uh, and the people that write these
00:58:41.540
sorts of hit pieces all the time about us without any evidence of their claims, just smears and
00:58:45.980
libels and attacks perpetually. And also by the way, support. If you believe in the things that
00:58:53.220
Jeremy Boring and Andrew Klavan believe in, then you should support the daily wire.
00:58:58.500
That's how the free markets works. That's how it works. You like it. You like what you're seeing
00:59:03.580
there. You'd like what they're throwing down, support them. Hope that helps guys. Um, that's all
00:59:08.860
I'm going to say for today. Again, thank you guys for supporting me. You can head to
00:59:12.120
canasowens.com to continue to support me, join the book club, buy my book, which I have, you know,
00:59:16.920
it's been an amazing year already. And so I know that I am blessed. And again, thank you. We will see
