00:00:30.260
All right, you guys, we have got to do it today.
00:00:32.800
I owe it to you, I promise, because what the heck is going on with the Justin Baldoni lawsuit?
00:00:38.140
The amount of you that were tagging me being like, Candace, we need an episode.
00:00:42.340
And I was like, no, I cannot give up the last week of my maternity leave
00:00:44.960
because there was news that the lawsuit had been dropped.
00:00:47.860
And suddenly, like, Lively's team was coming out there trotting out a win for feminists.
00:00:52.600
They were like, we did this for women everywhere.
00:00:56.500
Literally, it made me want to throw up when I read that.
00:00:58.780
Don't worry, today I've got you covered, and it's going to make perfect sense.
00:01:05.280
Plus, we've got to get to Tyler Perry, because also, what the heck is going on there?
00:01:10.420
I am shocked, but not for the same reasons that you are shocked, so let's discuss it.
00:01:16.700
After two years of consistently bombing Palestinian children and bombing every hospital in Gaza,
00:01:21.940
Israel now claims that bombing hospitals is monstrous because Iran just did it to them.
00:01:48.760
Like I said, Blake was out there doing the absolute most, claiming victory.
00:01:56.060
Just forget about everything that you guys read.
00:01:58.200
Her PR agents were so desperate to make the public believe that they really had delivered
00:02:04.060
And the headlines were very confusing because it said the lawsuit was dropped.
00:02:12.160
But it is true that the defamation portion of the lawsuit was dropped entirely.
00:02:18.240
So, the first thing you need to understand is we got to get back to the beginning of this
00:02:24.060
It's a lot to remember, which means that there's a lot that you can forget.
00:02:27.780
When Justin Baldoni and co. initially filed a lawsuit against Blake Lively, there were actually
00:02:36.260
Remember, the New York Times, they had sued for $200 million.
00:02:39.080
He was suing the New York Times for a libel, false light, invasion of privacy, promissory
00:02:46.080
fraud, and breach of implied, in fact, contract.
00:02:51.700
Separately, he sued Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Leslie Sloan PR and her PR firm, Vision
00:03:00.960
And they brought against them seven causes of action.
00:03:03.460
So, negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, intentional interference
00:03:09.100
with prospective economic advantage, intentional interference with contractual relationships,
00:03:15.140
breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and then false light and invasion
00:03:23.760
So, the repeated claims in those two suits across both of those lawsuits, New York Times and
00:03:28.900
Blake Lively and co. were defamation, false light, and invasion of privacy.
00:03:34.360
And so, that is why, right off the bat, it should be perfectly understandable.
00:03:37.940
If you have been a committed listener to the Candace show, if you have been following this
00:03:42.040
lawsuit through me, then you should understand that ruling and why they dropped those parts
00:03:48.700
of the lawsuit and then dropped the lawsuit in its entirety against the New York Times.
00:03:52.560
Um, because, I'll tell you why it's perfectly understandable, because of history, because
00:03:59.400
Do you guys remember that episode where I made it very clear to you guys that the New York
00:04:05.680
It is the, a publishing arm of the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, right?
00:04:10.860
They have been an arm of the CIA probably since its inception, to be honest, but we know at
00:04:18.380
We did an episode where I discussed this with you.
00:04:19.860
I said, this is really important, especially you guys that are in my book club.
00:04:23.060
You know, this is not a conspiracy theory, okay?
00:04:25.400
If you've read Chaos, you know my obsession with the 1960s in America.
00:04:30.040
The CIA was just going crazy, getting away with all sorts of things, murdering people,
00:04:37.860
But the big thing was the shooting of JFK, right?
00:04:41.420
In broad daylight, next to his wife, being driven in a car, JFK was shot.
00:04:47.740
And the CIA then did the absolute most to shut down conversation, conspiracy as they called it.
00:04:55.760
In fact, that is when they started coining that term conspiracy theorist, was to get people
00:05:00.500
to stop asking questions about this shooting, probably because they were covering their own
00:05:07.780
And one of the things that they did to try to settle down the public, to try to control public
00:05:13.460
perception, was that they put journalists and entire publications on their payroll.
00:05:21.860
It was the CIA reaction to all of the obvious questions and the quote-unquote conspiracies
00:05:29.020
that were shaping regarding what the heck happened on that day in Dallas when a sitting president
00:05:35.220
was shot by our dear friend and ally, maybe, I don't know, just saying.
00:05:40.480
Okay, so I'm just taking you back through the episode I showed you guys, this Wikipedia excerpt,
00:05:44.560
and it says plainly here that in 1975, this is in, they were looking backwards at Operation
00:05:51.680
The Church Committee Congressional Investigations revealed agency connections with journalists
00:05:56.760
and civic groups, and elsewhere it tells us that one of the people that contributed was Arthur
00:06:03.120
Solzenberg, who heads up the New York Times, right?
00:06:07.500
Arthur, his family has owned the New York Times.
00:06:10.660
It was initially founded by Adolph Ox, who was his father-in-law, and Arthur Hayes Solzberger
00:06:16.440
basically was working for the CIA, and that became abundantly clear in an article that
00:06:22.480
Rolling Stone did, unveiling everybody who was working with the CIA Times, and essentially,
00:06:29.620
I want to say this to you guys, why that's so relevant, and you should really remember
00:06:32.940
this going forward, it is quite literally, and forget how you feel about Trump, it is
00:06:38.220
Maybe it's not even fake news, it's state news, which implies that it's fake.
00:06:41.820
It's the government trying to make sure they can control the population, to make sure that
00:06:48.740
you guys are not doing anything out of its control.
00:06:50.880
And the best way to do that is to make people think that it is a token of their education
00:06:58.800
When you think about the New York Times, you do think about that, right?
00:07:00.320
You're like, oh, oh yes, I read, this person reads the New York Times daily.
00:07:04.660
They'll even put this in movies and in shows, like the whole idea of somebody opening a newspaper,
00:07:10.040
the thought of the newspaper, somebody reading the newspaper, it is represented as a symbol
00:07:17.320
I remember, because I majored in journalism in college, that we were taught to go to
00:07:22.220
sources that could be trusted, and we were quite literally learning that as good journalists,
00:07:26.180
we could trust and rely upon the New York Times when conducting any research, and that we should
00:07:33.640
But the reality is, it's a fact that they are an arm of the state, and they are very powerful,
00:07:38.320
and they became more powerful around this exact same time when JFK was shot, because
00:07:43.220
the CIA had to make sure that they were untouchable, so that they could go out and they could lie
00:07:47.920
about people, but also making sure that they wouldn't be sued for defamation.
00:07:53.220
They created, in 1964, the actual malice standard for politicians and celebrities.
00:08:00.320
That effectively means, just so you understand, that journalists can lie about celebrities,
00:08:05.660
as they very much did in the matter of Justin Baldoni, and it is nearly impossible for those
00:08:11.320
celebrities and politicians to win against them, even if they can prove this is a lie.
00:08:17.720
They'll come back and they'll say, well, yes, the journalists lied, but I don't think they
00:08:26.240
They didn't act in reckless disregard for the truth, which is a nonsense height that
00:08:36.500
Essentially, they're asking, yeah, we know that they lied, but did they really, really,
00:08:41.880
really know that it was false and try to hurt you?
00:08:46.240
Now, that standard was quite literally created by the New York Times.
00:08:50.440
The standard was that case that was the landmark case was New York Times versus Sullivan.
00:08:55.760
Again, dating back to that time around JFK getting shot.
00:08:59.880
They needed the New York Times to be untouchable.
00:09:01.840
So what happened in 1964 regarding this case was the story essentially is the New York Times
00:09:12.780
And it was actually an advertisement that it ran, and it was pertaining to civil rights
00:09:18.280
protests that were happening at the time, right?
00:09:20.580
1964, you think about the civil rights unrest that was going on in this country.
00:09:23.500
Those of you that are in my book club, you know, a lot of those civil rights protests
00:09:28.260
It was actually our government, which they do, is that they try to foment racial unrest
00:09:35.200
We don't need to get into all that right now, but just know that this case, the New York
00:09:39.260
Times essentially happened was they ran an advertisement.
00:09:42.700
And in this advertisement, I want you to really understand how absurd it was.
00:09:46.420
The full-page advertisement claimed that in Montgomery, Alabama, there were these student
00:09:53.340
civil rights protesters, OK, and that they had a clash with the police and that the Alabama
00:10:00.860
police locked these students on a college campus in a dining hall with a padlock and that the
00:10:12.420
The truckloads of Alabama police had descended, and these brave civil rights protesters, these
00:10:17.500
students were resisting in a cafeteria, and the police said, then you just starve and you'll
00:10:30.300
So if you're the elite reading the newspaper going, oh, my dear, we must get behind these
00:10:34.580
These poor students are being starved to death in the racist South.
00:10:42.660
And so the Montgomery commissioner of public affairs was this guy named L.B.
00:10:50.200
You can't just be out here saying that we're locking students with padlocks.
00:10:55.040
And I'm going to cite the obvious fact that this lie that we would starve students to get
00:10:59.520
what we wanted because you're trying to foment racial unrest in America has severely impacted
00:11:07.040
Sullivan, that is responsible for the police department.
00:11:12.460
He sued them on the local level and he won his case and he didn't have to approve anything
00:11:21.540
And then he beat them again on the state level.
00:11:24.020
They said, yeah, no, he won about half a million dollars in damages.
00:11:29.940
So The New York Times said, ha ha, OK, state rights.
00:11:39.060
The government sided with the government, meaning The New York Times at the time was working
00:11:44.080
And they created a new standard, new standard, actual malice, a unanimous decision that, you
00:11:52.240
So it is also necessary for publications to be allowed to lie in the interest of the public,
00:11:58.740
because we don't want to get in the way of free speech and they need to hold these public
00:12:03.600
officials feet to the fire and they'll be afraid to do so if they can't lie.
00:12:08.620
But that is what the actual malice standard is.
00:12:10.800
Like, you have to be able to somehow prove they acted in full reckless disregard for the
00:12:15.360
truth, which I would say not fact-checking whether or not students were locked in a cafeteria
00:12:20.820
with a padlock would be acting in reckless disregard of the truth.
00:12:26.980
Exactly nothing against the federal government.
00:12:29.300
So the moral of the story here is that the actual malice standard was literally developed
00:12:35.960
The New York Times is effectively the publishing arm of the CIA, which means that Justin Baldoni
00:12:48.160
OK, they have told egregious lies for years against celebrities, against politicians that
00:12:53.240
have, of course, led to real world, real world consequences.
00:12:58.080
Like we were just looking, me and the producers, like who wins against them?
00:13:02.840
Skylar, you were just talking about the story where even an Ohio Supreme Court justice sued
00:13:12.020
So you have a think about this, a judge, a Supreme Court judge has even sued The New York
00:13:19.600
And even though he won, he wasn't awarded anything for damages.
00:13:28.600
But they get away with it because the goal is to shape public opinion.
00:13:33.300
And the CIA knows that they can always protect them in court.
00:13:35.640
Now, this becomes especially relevant when you remember the old story that we covered,
00:13:40.840
OK, the headline that Blake Lively had engaged the CIA alum, OK, the crisis PR firm in her
00:13:50.280
And we went, hmm, I said, that's very interesting that she did that, that Blake Lively and Ryan
00:13:54.540
Reynolds are moving to hire a PR crisis manager.
00:14:07.720
And he worked beneath their director, John Brennan, who's implausibly corrupt.
00:14:14.740
Because, guys, I hate to tell you this, America's ghetto and corrupt.
00:14:22.560
And The New York Times is going to be The New York Times.
00:14:24.520
And they know that they're going to be protected.
00:14:25.860
And so the best way to think about this case is that the Justin Baldoni hit piece originated
00:14:33.140
So on June 10th, I wasn't shocked when Judge Lehman did what always happens in these matters
00:14:39.140
pertaining to The New York Times slash CIA lawsuits.
00:14:42.360
He entirely dismissed the lawsuit against The New York Times.
00:14:46.320
And then he necessarily had to dismiss any of the repeated claims that were in Blake Lively's
00:14:52.400
Because you can't say, OK, The New York Times is not guilty, but Blake and Ryan are.
00:15:00.460
On June 10th, he ruled that Justin Baldoni cannot sue Blake Lively after dismissing The
00:15:05.680
New York Times one, that he cannot sue Blake Lively for defamation over the claims that she
00:15:10.940
made in her legal filing because the allegations made are exempt from libel.
00:15:15.380
He also ruled that Lively, that Baldoni could not sue her for extortion under California law.
00:15:24.540
Now, the extortion piece was would have also dragged The New York Times into it because
00:15:29.620
don't forget, regarding the extortion, they would have forced The New York Times to go into
00:15:35.560
discovery because the claim was that Blake Lively wanted the rights to the movie and she was extorting
00:15:42.180
them, saying that you give me what I want or I will go public with claims of sexual harassment,
00:15:48.340
And so in order for them to prove that, they would have subpoenaed messages with her.
00:15:55.180
So everything the judge just did, in my view, was to protect the CIA.
00:16:03.200
If you pay attention, it is you cannot sue the CIA.
00:16:07.620
And there are so many public cases that have happened.
00:16:12.560
OK, and we learned from Acosta, from Secretary Acosta, once Trump had appointed him, he said,
00:16:21.080
Even when this man was caught with crimes against minors, he was being told that he was an asset
00:16:30.720
So do not ever operate under the delusion that there is not a hand that works above judges.
00:16:37.680
And that hand is the federal government, the deep state.
00:16:41.240
Now, after gutting those portions of a lawsuit, which are to be expected, the judge then said,
00:16:46.120
OK, now what's left here are your claims, which have nothing to do with The New York Times.
00:16:51.240
OK, and he said, which is the, you know, essentially the tortious interference, the contractual stuff.
00:16:57.460
And he is allowing them to now revise the lawsuit and represent it gutted because he is saying it's OK for you to pursue these different claims pertaining to whether or not lively breached or interfered with her contract.
00:17:11.560
They're going to have to resubmit their lawsuit with anything pertaining to The New York Times or that could potentially implicate The New York Times removed from it.
00:17:22.880
And that's just the reality that we all should understand by now.
00:17:25.940
But in a fun update and a fun twist, and I did not think we were going to get this, and I'm surprised that we did.
00:17:33.020
Judge Lehman has ruled yes on the Taylor Swift text messages.
00:17:37.640
Now, we went back and forth on this showing you that she was fighting.
00:17:41.400
And I mean, Blake Lively and Ryan were had been fighting tooth and nail not to allow these messages to get into the hands of Team Baldoni.
00:17:50.360
And essentially, they radically filed this protective order like, no, no, no, no, you cannot get this.
00:17:55.540
And then I told you that behind the scenes, Scott Swift, because Blake's lawyer allegedly implicitly threatened his daughter, said, we will give you these messages if you want to subpoena them and told them specifically which messages that they had.
00:18:09.660
And so it looks like they did not relinquish those messages immediately at Team Baldoni, but they've indicated that they're very willing to abide by any subpoena.
00:18:24.160
OK, and here is what this here is the reason why he is ruling fair game.
00:18:28.460
Scott, if we can pull up page three of his ruling, I think is where it is.
00:18:33.160
I swear it's a light and sometimes it's hard for me to to see it.
00:18:43.800
Lively alleges that Baldoni and Heath harassed her in numerous ways during work on an end with us and that her concerns about her behavior began, quote, early in pre-production and production process and that she expressed these concerns in, quote, contemporaneous messages.
00:18:59.820
He goes on to say, given that Lively has represented that Swift had knowledge of complaints or discussions about the working environment on the film, among other issues, the requests for messages with Swift regarding the film and this action are reasonably tailored to discover information that would prove or disprove Lively's harassment and retaliation claims.
00:19:21.720
So this is really funny because this is basically what's happening is she's getting her due justice in trying to represent that Taylor Swift was her dragon.
00:19:36.820
They've been name dropping Taylor Swift to Justin Baldoni just to get whatever it is that they want.
00:19:43.140
And you'll realize one day, said Ryan Reynolds, that there's a reason that Tay-Tay trusts her so much and they're bringing Taylor to the house and having her look at the script.
00:19:52.040
She's represented so much that Taylor Swift was involved with this movie one way or another.
00:19:57.340
And in her initial filing, she said, oh, I've got so many messages.
00:20:01.120
I've got witnesses, contemporaneous messages that prove what I was feeling like at this time when this was going down.
00:20:06.520
So you yourself, because you humble bragged the entire time about your closeness with Taylor Swift, one of your dragons, have now made her relevant.
00:20:19.000
It's like you grifted too close to the sun, baby girl, you know.
00:20:24.840
And I cannot wait because I said from the very beginning, whatever is in those messages, it completely has Blake Lively terrified.
00:20:33.180
So terrified, in fact, that according to Scott Swift, she specifically asked Taylor Swift to delete some messages.
00:20:40.120
And Taylor Swift would not have done that because she is not an idiot.
00:20:44.540
That girl did not get to where she is at in life by being a dummy.
00:20:49.680
She would have shown them to a lawyer, showed that to her PR, showed it to Daddy Swift.
00:20:54.980
When somebody is asking you to commit a crime, you don't.
00:20:57.940
And now we know that Scott Swift also said, here are the dates.
00:21:01.880
These are the messages that you're looking for.
00:21:04.480
And guys, what else can I say here other than game on?
00:21:11.860
And this does still feel to me like some justice for Justin.
00:21:16.660
And it is sad that The New York Times has never held accountable for lies that they tell.
00:21:21.140
But I think that this case happening is good because there are so many people who, like me, and I'm including myself in this, grew up believing that they were the truth.
00:21:34.680
You know, the press exists so that we can keep the government in check.
00:21:41.760
And the question we should be asking ourselves is who then was powerful enough to have The New York Times do that to Justin and why, right?
00:21:49.260
Because that person's got to be a big, a big person.
00:21:55.280
He's been, he's got a pretty powerful family there.
00:22:01.620
But whatever happened to Justin Baldoni, very powerful people were behind it.
00:22:05.680
Very powerful people were able to get the ball rolling at The New York Times, destroy him, and to take away his publishing rights.
00:22:11.700
And unfortunately, there's not going to be justice in regards to The New York Times.
00:22:14.680
We're not going to find out who those people are.
00:22:16.360
But there should still be justice against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
00:22:21.600
That's all I'm going to say about that before we get into Tyler Perry.
00:22:24.100
First, I want to remind you guys about pre-born because you know I love them.
00:22:26.980
June 24th actually marks three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
00:22:36.800
The fight has actually moved from the courtroom to something that's so much more dangerous, which is people's homes.
00:22:42.140
Today, more than 60% of abortions are happening through a pill that women are taking alone, in fear, without any support.
00:22:52.920
I think this is going to lead to mass lawsuits.
00:22:54.680
Women are delivering their babies fully formed into toilets, onto bathroom floors.
00:22:58.920
And these babies, they're learning in those moments, are not just tissue.
00:23:08.300
11% of women who take the abortion pill face serious complications.
00:23:12.480
And many are going to carry emotional scars for the rest of their lives.
00:23:15.000
And that's why I support Preborn, because they're stepping in where I believe our culture is failing.
00:23:18.980
They're giving women the truth, real practical financial support, and a chance to choose life.
00:23:25.840
And they cannot continue to do that sort of stuff without our help.
00:23:30.720
You can give $28, and then you can double the chance that a mom will choose life for her baby and for herself.
00:23:44.640
Also remind you guys about Field of Greens, because you can change your lifestyle and healthy habits.
00:23:49.100
And sometimes that feels like it's a huge task.
00:23:50.960
But if you're looking for a very easy and effective way to do it, one of the first things that you should ask yourself is,
00:23:55.440
what supplement will actually promise me better health?
00:23:58.100
What's the point of drinking green drinks and health supplements if you aren't 100% confident that they are going to improve your health?
00:24:04.120
That's why you should check out Field of Greens.
00:24:05.760
They have a better health promise, which makes it radically different.
00:24:09.120
You enjoy a delicious Field of Greens drink each day, then at your next checkup with your doctor,
00:24:13.880
he will noticeably notice your improved health, or you're going to get your money back.

00:24:54.860
He's being sued by an actor on the Oval for sexual assault and harassment.
00:25:01.880
And this is an actor who worked on this Tyler Perry-created TV drama.
00:25:07.160
He's alleging that Perry leveraged his industry power to repeatedly sexually assault and harass him while keeping him quiet.
00:25:14.980
He filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, and that actor is Derek Dixon.
00:25:21.460
He has appeared thus far on 85 episodes of the BET series, and he wants $260 million in damages.
00:25:33.600
And of course, Perry's attorney has come back and said that this is positively false.
00:26:09.800
My former producer, executive producer, from when I was at The Daily Wire, texted me.
00:26:20.580
And I sometimes, you know, Michael and my former producer, we have to kind of, the gap must be closed between my experience growing up as a black girl and her experience growing up as a southern white girl.
00:26:31.260
And I go, is this a white versus black person upbringing thing?
00:26:34.900
Because she's shocked by this lawsuit because she's like, oh, my gosh, can you believe Tyler Perry's gay?
00:26:40.020
And I went, wait, there are people that think Tyler Perry is straight?
00:26:45.700
And we used to go to the salon and they used to sell Madea bootlegs.
00:26:49.800
We have a person that walks around with, like, a giant black garbage bag.
00:26:55.900
And they go into salons and they, like, sell bootleg movies, bootleg plays, whatever.
00:27:06.460
I knew Tyler Perry as cross-dressing as a woman.
00:27:11.420
And I never in a million years thought, like, I just always thought he was gay or thought that he was, like, openly gay.
00:27:18.340
So then I find out, as I'm reading this lawsuit via Michaelin, that he has a wife or has a partner and he has a kid.
00:27:28.920
And I'm going, OK, so this is why people are doubly shocked by this.
00:27:31.980
I'm shocked because I'm just learning that there are people that are shocked that he's gay.
00:27:35.220
And I'm also shocked at, like, people thinking that this is a surprise anymore.
00:27:42.040
Like, how could anyone think that Tyler Perry could climb to the top of Hollywood?
00:27:48.620
And, yes, he's done some amazing things, especially being someone that has sought to own his own studios, et cetera, et cetera.
00:27:56.120
But Hollywood's a club and you've got to be in it or you've got to be out of it.
00:27:59.400
And those of you who are in the book club and we're reading Hollywood Babylon together, you know what I'm talking about.
00:28:05.200
It's always been a lavender club and you're in or you're out.
00:28:09.640
And so I, again, I'm just going to say that I am shocked that people are shocked.
00:28:17.480
I just, yeah, assumes that Tyler Perry, I thought he was openly gay.
00:28:27.040
And, listen, regarding this lawsuit, do I at all, obviously, write the text messages, do I at all doubt that he's having relations?
00:28:38.260
Asking the guy if he's, you know, guiltless while having, does he feel guiltless about sex?
00:28:46.340
And, yeah, here's the message I'm going to read it.
00:28:47.800
He writes, what's it going to take for you to have guiltless sex?
00:28:52.800
And, yes, it's the exact same kind of car, Geo Metro.
00:28:57.220
And then this person writes back, giving up my religious guilt, becoming a Buddhist.
00:29:03.140
And then he writes back to him, unfortunately, Derek, I have friends who are in their 50s and 60s who are still dealing with that.
00:29:09.340
You can be, you can have freedom from religious guilt and still believe in Christ.
00:29:16.140
And it is why so many Christians are against sending their kids into Hollywood or getting them involved.
00:29:22.680
It's like how many people can go into Hollywood, whether they're at Nickelodeon or Disney, and come out with all of these traumas and saying that, hey, it's a big club.
00:29:35.100
And so this is not shocking, you know, is this actor.
00:29:44.220
Do I think that he was flirting with Tyler and sending the signs that this was OK because he wanted to climb the ladder in Hollywood?
00:29:54.320
Do I think that he then saw a way and a means to, like, get what he wanted, which is a little bit of fame, and then kind of cash out by suing Tyler?
00:30:04.680
Like, you guys already know where I stand on this, what these people are doing in Hollywood.
00:30:09.260
Everyone knows what the casting couch is, but now we're kind of in an era where people who are kind of willing to maybe play the game a little bit or flirt and pretend to be, like, totally, like, oh, my gosh, I can't believe this happened to me.
00:30:22.080
It's like, why are you talking to Tyler Perry about your therapy sessions, about whether or not you can have guiltless homosexual sex at all?
00:30:42.120
Somebody in the chat, if you guys were putting you all on this, find out how old this actor Derek is, because I'm going to guess he's not, like, a Disney child.
00:30:52.880
And everybody kind of is, like, in my view in Hollywood, like a pimp or a prostitute.
00:30:59.200
So it's like you're going to be a pimp, you're going to be a prostitute.
00:31:01.040
And there have been so many people that have made that clear.
00:31:03.040
So you, of course, should not be shocked by Tyler Perry being a part of the club.
00:31:09.100
Like, okay, this person, nope, he's in his 30s, this person says.
00:31:16.420
I mean, you're going to tell me that in your 30s you don't have a way, and we can fact check that, so don't take that to the bank.
00:31:21.660
Like, but you're going to tell me that in your 30s you just, like, didn't have the wherewithal to be, like, no, this is absolutely creepy right away.
00:31:28.300
And I'm not talking to you about, like, my therapy sessions and my Christian guilt about homosexual sex.
00:31:38.800
Yeah, this is probably in my courtroom dismissed because I just, I find that to be completely ridiculous that this person is some kind of victim.
00:31:45.820
But, of course, what's going to happen is they're going to end up settling this case because Tyler Perry is not going to be, want to be dragged through the press.
00:31:56.560
His lawyers are just showing Tyler Perry they're serious.
00:32:00.860
You don't want this to get more embarrassing than settle.
00:32:06.780
You know, if people actually abided by that Christianity, he wouldn't probably be in this circumstance in the first place.
00:32:17.640
Just building on what we were talking about yesterday, different subject, obviously.
00:32:21.060
It's just the astounding arrogance and hypocrisy of people that continue to support Israel.
00:32:27.760
I've been maimed and caricatured for speaking about what's happening in Gaza as they bombed.
00:32:32.440
How many hospitals have they actually bombed in Gaza?
00:32:39.060
And they always go, there was a tunnel under this one.
00:32:41.300
And they never proved there was a tunnel under any hospital, right?
00:32:49.260
And suddenly, they are out crying in the streets.
00:32:55.080
And I am sorry, but, like, Bibi Netanyahu on this tour doing his sad face going,
00:32:59.880
oh, my God, what savages, what kind of a savage bombs a hospital?
00:33:16.780
When people respond to them invading their country by bombing a hospital, it is the worst,
00:33:22.860
most immoral, most savage thing that could ever happen.
00:33:26.720
And don't you understand why we had to attack Iran?
00:33:29.640
These savage religious fundamentalists retaliated by bombing a hospital.
00:33:36.380
There's got to be a total number of hospitals they bombed in Gaza.
00:33:39.300
I got to look this up because it is—I couldn't believe it that this was even trending.
00:33:45.360
They just really believe that they have a carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want in this world.
00:33:50.440
And if anybody asks a question, they're going to go, look at your Bible.
00:33:55.620
Bible says the land of Israel is automatically holy.
00:34:02.160
Whatever Jeffrey Epstein was doing, it's all good because he was doing it for the Israeli government.
00:34:08.660
It's like the idea here, by the way, if you follow this ridiculous logic, this dispensationalism,
00:34:13.060
very modern logic here, it means that if Kim Jong-un, like, drops a nuke in Israel and takes
00:34:20.980
over and moves a bunch of Koreans in Israel, then whatever Kim Jong-un does from that moment
00:34:26.340
on, you can't critique because your Bible tells you you'll be blessed if you bless Kim Jong-un's
00:34:38.020
Kim Jong-un, if he takes over Israel, you must worship everything he does and you will be
00:34:46.680
It means that whoever takes over that land at any moment, you will be blessed if you bless
00:34:55.840
And I'm just happy that people are realizing it because I just could not believe Bibi Netanyahu
00:35:00.300
and his fake sad face outside of this hospital pretending like this is just the moral crime
00:35:05.080
of the century that they've just been doing for two years straight in Gaza and calling us
00:35:08.880
all anti-Semites for caring and saying, why are you bombing every single hospital?
00:35:12.840
In Gaza, you're obviously doing that intentionally.
00:35:15.920
Anyways, before I get to some of your comments, guys, I want to remind you about PureTalk
00:35:19.760
because what if I told you that you could cut your cell phone bill in half and support
00:35:24.600
Values like supporting our veterans, creating American jobs.
00:35:27.900
What if I told you that you do not even have to sacrifice coverage to do that because you're
00:35:30.640
going to be on America's most dependable 5G network?
00:35:32.600
I'm talking about the only wireless company that I endorse, which is PureTalk, a wireless company
00:35:36.740
that is veteran-led and invests in a U.S. customer service team so that you have
00:35:40.560
the best support possible. If you're with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile, you can now join
00:35:44.480
the hundreds of thousands who have successfully cut their cell phone bill in half.
00:35:47.980
That's right. The average family saves over $1,000 a year when they make the switch.
00:35:51.800
PureTalk is mine and my family's cell phone company, and it can be yours too.
00:35:56.200
You can switch in as little as 10 minutes when you go to puretalk.com slash Owens with plans
00:36:00.760
starting at just $25 a month. What are you waiting for? Go to puretalk.com slash Owens and make
00:36:05.280
the switch to PureTalk Wireless by Americans for Americans. Also, we all drink coffee. You might
00:36:10.540
as well drink seven weeks coffee because it's an American pro-life coffee company that's on a
00:36:14.520
mission to fund the pro-life movement, one cup of coffee at a time. And if you want to know why
00:36:18.300
they're called seven weeks, the answer is because at seven weeks, a baby is the size of a coffee bean
00:36:22.240
and it's the same time a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound. That's why they donate
00:36:26.120
10% of every sale to support pregnancy care centers across the country. They've raised almost $1
00:36:31.600
million for these centers and they've saved thousands of lives. And I can tell you the
00:36:35.580
coffee is fantastic. It's mold free, pesticide free, shade grown, low acid, and it's organically
00:36:39.960
farmed. So it checks all the boxes. And right now you can help seven weeks make history through
00:36:45.080
the $1 million for life campaign. They're really close to reaching $1 million in donations to
00:36:50.100
pro-life organizations across the country. So go ahead and head to sevenweekscoffee.com and
00:36:54.340
you'll save 15% forever when you subscribe and get a free gift as well. Plus exclusively for my

directly help support a network of over 1,000 pro-life organizations across the U.S. Okay,
00:37:15.080
guys, what are you guys thinking? I love looking at your chat. It's just, you guys are always so
00:37:19.200
fun in the chat, in the live chat. Let's get into some of your comments here. First up, we have top five.
00:37:24.920
He said, I've got to say that Taylor Swift's best song is Antihero, where she admits that she is the
00:37:30.740
problem. I've actually never heard that song. I did stop at the Lover album because I said,
00:37:34.740
like I told you, London Boy was a bop and I felt comfortable there. And I never heard it,
00:37:40.040
but maybe I will listen to it. But yeah, she admits that she's the problem in a few of her songs,
00:37:43.740
actually. Marzi writes, I think Taylor Swift has something to hide in the whole Blake and Ryan
00:37:48.760
drama. I don't want to sound too crazy, but I think she's a mean girl. There is no way that her PR team
00:37:53.280
would allow something like this to ruin her image. Yeah, I think that that was why they wanted
00:37:57.140
to establish communication with Justin Baldoni's team and say, like, here's what we're willing to
00:38:01.860
give you, because this is stuff that's not going to blemish her. It's probably going to blemish just
00:38:05.740
Blake Lively. And they don't want to be dragged into this and have other messages that could
00:38:10.620
potentially get, you know, in the mix. They're like, here is exactly what you're looking for.
00:38:14.380
Everything else is off the table. And it's smart. This was a very smart thing for them to do.
00:38:18.500
And we know that there's got to be something, quote unquote, problematic about Taylor Swift,
00:38:23.200
because if we are to believe Scott Swift, if we are to believe that he that they threatened
00:38:27.800
Taylor Swift and said, you know, remind your client that we have 10 years of friendship and text
00:38:32.580
messages at our disposal, that means that they've got some things to embarrass Taylor Swift. And maybe
00:38:37.600
it's just talking about guys who she likes, whatever it is. But they believe that it's something that's
00:38:42.300
going to ruin her image, which, by the way, I want to be very clear on very team Taylor Swift on that.
00:38:45.900
That is a dirty, nasty game to play with friends. Doesn't shock me at all because Ryan seems to me
00:38:52.100
like he has a lot of repressed anger. Dr. Holly writes, Candice, is there any precedent I can use
00:38:57.480
to avoid getting my son the Tdap and meningitis vaccine boosters before he goes to seventh grade
00:39:02.180
here in CT? They are sending letters saying that he's out of compliance and won't be allowed to attend
00:39:06.660
school or athletics. And he plays football, lacrosse and basketball. Also, my husband and I can't
00:39:11.420
afford to stay home and homeschool with him. You know, it's so funny you bring that up because
00:39:14.720
my sister is pulling her kid out of school right now. He goes to school in Connecticut and he's only
00:39:21.940
five years old and she was very uncomfortable with the conditioning that was happening. He is five
00:39:26.340
years old in the classroom. The ADL has somehow received access to classrooms and they are already
00:39:33.100
teaching these kids about antisemitism. She's like, this is weird. My sister's married to a guy that's
00:39:37.260
half Jewish. She's like, what is this? I don't want my kids thinking like this. And she has changed
00:39:42.740
around her entire life to be able to homeschool. I'm just like very amazed at my sister's ability
00:39:47.140
to do this. She's now getting up at 4 a.m. to make this work. She's an accountant. And it's a lot
00:39:52.080
of work. And they are not, by any stretch of an imagination, a wealthy family. But she wanted to
00:39:58.360
adapt her life for her children and to make sure that she wasn't giving them over. And she also made
00:40:03.720
a decision not to vax her second child after finally listening to her little sister and didn't want to
00:40:09.280
play the game with the schools owning her children. And so there's a network of moms in Connecticut
00:40:13.980
that are standing up to these, to Big Pharma. My sister is among them. And she told me that there
00:40:20.440
were these meetings, like these moms that are homeschooling. I think there are also some moms
00:40:24.660
that might be thinking about coming together to micro school, meaning that you could get, like you could
00:40:29.380
link up with a mom that is homeschooling and you could pay for a teacher to teach both of your kids
00:40:36.340
so it's cheaper so that somebody else is homeschooling your kids. But where there is a will, there is a
00:40:41.900
way. And if you genuinely do not want to subject your child to the Tdap and you shouldn't, it's a
00:40:47.200
please just go watch my series. I don't want to get in trouble here on YouTube, but every mother
00:40:51.980
should watch my vaccine series available at CandaceElwins.com. The combination shots, in my view, are the
00:40:58.540
big no. MMR, Tdap, DTap, all of them. And so, like I said, where there's a will, there's a way. So get in
00:41:06.800
touch with all the parents in Connecticut that are kind of networking at this moment.
00:41:15.860
Hey, Candace, what would you say is the ultimate end goal of whoever is behind all the lying and
00:41:19.860
trying to control the people through state news and all these initiatives? Thank you and love your
00:41:23.800
show. You answered the question, controlling the people, controlling the masses. When you want war,
00:41:28.820
you're not going to send your kids if you're an elitist. So you need to be able to effectively
00:41:32.380
propagandize to get people fired up. I mean, really understanding like Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays,
00:41:38.300
and how they knew that psychology was the means to do it and what efforts they made to test their
00:41:45.400
psychological theories of, well, can we make all Americans hate Germans? The propaganda campaigns
00:41:50.600
during World War II, which was led by Edward Bernays, to make all Americans hate Germans.
00:41:55.360
Fascinating to learn about the history of that, to make Americans eat breakfast. He was behind
00:42:00.040
campaigns to make women smoke cigarettes. They've done these things in lockstep with big pharma,
00:42:05.880
with big war, and they have always been effective. Civil rights movements, getting people,
00:42:12.820
you know, to get out and riot and protest when they want them to, but also get people to stay at home.
00:42:18.000
Stay at home. Save lives. You love your grandma, right? We're all in this together. That is
00:42:24.280
psychology that they have thought through, and it is always to impart some sort of a mass formation
00:42:31.640
psychosis upon the public, whether it's to get you to roll up your arm and get a vaccine and to make
00:42:37.080
you terrified, to make you walk with six feet social distance or let your grandma die alone.
00:42:42.220
There is always an end, and it usually is to empower the government always, whatever the power,
00:42:49.620
whatever the government is trying, whatever initiative the government has at any given time,
00:42:53.360
they are trying to fulfill. Lastly, Len Smith writes, hey, Candace, have you looked into Tory Lane's
00:42:59.420
case recently? I remember your thoughts on it a few years ago, and it seems like there's still some
00:43:03.060
injustice happening with him now. Okay, so I will say I never did a super deep dive on that case,
00:43:08.240
and I'm kind of surprised how many people keep telling me that I got it wrong and that, like,
00:43:12.720
he didn't shoot her that night. I know she was shot. I know that the doctor testified they pulled
00:43:18.000
the bullets out of her, the bullet fragments out of her foot. It would be pretty difficult to get a
00:43:23.720
doctor, I think, to go on record and be willing to lose his license over a couple of people fighting
00:43:29.560
in a car. Now, if there's a reason that you think that Tory Lane's or a doctor would have lied,
00:43:35.980
or if you're saying to me that somebody else shot Megan Thee Stallion and I missed that,
00:43:41.180
please send it to me. You guys can always send me tips at CandaceOwens.com. You guys know that I
00:43:46.000
absolutely always go into that inbox and see what you guys are sending me. I don't know enough about
00:43:51.660
