All right, guys, great news and happy Friday. The news is that LeBron James, after a long period of silence, has finally broken that silence regarding the on-camera beatdown of Cassie Ventura by his ain't no party like a diddy party friend.
00:00:15.840
And he's using his massive platform to speak out on the allegations of rape, drugging and trafficking against his friend.
00:00:22.840
Honestly, I thought this day would never come. And guess what? It didn't. Why would you believe me?
00:00:26.900
Of course, he did not speak out about Cassie Ventura catching a beatdown on camera, about why those parties he felt were the best parties to possibly attend.
00:00:37.380
And instead, he has decided to endorse Kamala. And a little coward hid my comment beneath his endorsements. We're going to discuss that.
00:00:46.240
Plus, did Donald Trump drop a racial slur about Kamala Harris? Did he call her a cracker? You're going to have to stay tuned to find out.
00:00:52.120
And Internet, in the matter of the Harris family of Nova Scotia, we have come across answers, which have led to even more questions.
00:00:58.840
And yes, incest is involved. So stay tuned and welcome back to Candace.
00:01:03.500
All right. We we got to hear from LeBron James regarding Diddy. Here's what he had to say.
00:01:22.160
Yeah, he actually didn't say a single thing. Nothing at all. Look, I don't know what's going on right now in Celebrity Land, but it seems like everyone is getting the call.
00:01:34.820
You guys know what the call is. We all know what the call is. We're like, ah, she got the call. He got the call.
00:01:39.100
And we know that Beyonce got the call first. OK, because if you notice what Beyonce, her energy back in 2016 regarding 2016, she had a ton of energy.
00:01:50.600
This election, she almost seemed to want to completely abstain like she wanted to abstain from politics.
00:01:55.600
She did not have a lot of energy into it. She did the absolute least.
00:01:59.680
She let Kamala use her song to walk out on stage.
00:02:03.220
They kept making us think, oh, Beyonce is going to be there. She's going to be there.
00:02:05.180
And then it ended up just being that Beyonce, I guess, let her use a song that Kamala definitely didn't know.
00:02:10.420
But you could sense you really could sense all throughout this election cycle that Beyonce just didn't want to get involved because when she wants to get involved, she does the absolute most.
00:02:18.400
She's Beyonce and she did the absolute most back in 2016 when Hillary Clinton was running against Trump.
00:02:25.420
She did the most. Her husband did the most. And they appeared alongside a large roster of people.
00:02:31.240
There was Big Sean, Chance the Rapper. You guys remember this. I'm going to jog your memory.
00:02:34.620
This is 2016. Beyonce and Jay-Z showing up, turning up for Hillary Clinton.
00:02:50.560
We have to think about the future of our daughters, our sons and vote for someone who cares for them as much as we do.
00:02:59.660
I would like to introduce to you the next president of the United States, Ms. Hillary Clinton.
00:03:05.840
Yeah, that one definitely did not age well for Mr. Jay-Z.
00:03:26.620
But I'm just saying, look at that. You see that she was dancing. She gave a very long speech. They were so intimately involved.
00:03:32.540
They gave the crowd what they wanted. Like this is Cleveland, Ohio. He rapped. She sang. They sang and rapped together. They're hugging on stage.
00:03:39.580
It was like people lost their minds. And then Hillary Clinton lost.
00:03:43.960
So when I say that this year it was not the same energy, that's what I'm referring to.
00:03:47.480
I feel like instead what maybe happened this year with Beyonce was someone phoned her up.
00:03:53.360
Like, you know, the mafia boss, the person who's like her frenemy, pretends to be like their friend.
00:03:59.000
Oh, hey, Beyonce. It's so nice to see you. How are the kids? How's blue? She's getting so beautiful.
00:04:02.060
Well, yeah, you know, we were really we would love to see you get involved and maybe come out and speak for Kamala Harris.
00:04:09.840
You know, she's elections in a couple of weeks. And, you know, Beyonce is like, you know, I really don't want to.
00:04:14.260
But she's speaking to like her boss who's pretending to be her friend and doesn't really have a choice.
00:04:18.520
And eventually he's just like, look, we got we got Jay-Z on tapes. It's slippery.
00:04:22.820
It's a slip and slide. It's got baby oil. Get your butt out there and say something nice about Kamala Harris.
00:04:28.680
And so Beyonce rather begrudgingly took the stage. Everyone thought she was going to sing.
00:04:32.700
And all she did was give like a three minute speech. And look at her face.
00:04:36.700
Like, she just seems like I cannot wait for this to be over.
00:04:40.860
What do I have to say so that the mafia boss doesn't release the slip and slide tapes?
00:04:47.900
We are so happy to be standing here on this stage as proud country, Texas women supporting.
00:04:58.680
We are celebrating the one and only Vice President Kamala Harris.
00:05:06.960
A woman who's been pushing for what this country really needs right now.
00:05:13.420
It's impossible not to feel the energy in this room.
00:05:22.920
We are at the precipice of an incredible shift.
00:05:42.920
A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in.
00:05:53.260
You just watched half the speech that she gave.
00:05:58.460
She's me when I'm nine months pregnant and I've already made a commitment to do an event.
00:06:04.840
Now I've got to deal with these like kids in the audience asking me about transgenderism.
00:06:08.340
I'm like, literally, I'm too pregnant for this.
00:06:13.340
I didn't mean to say it out loud because I meant to say it in my head.
00:06:26.060
You know, Leonardo DiCaprio, Beyonce, Jay-Z, and of course, LeBron James.
00:06:30.740
LeBron James, he just absolutely kills me because he actually, when I think about it, he does keep the same energy.
00:06:36.180
I was going to say he's a fraud, but he's really not a fraud.
00:06:37.700
If you think about it, what LeBron James really likes is criminality, right?
00:06:41.360
If there is one thing that he is going to do the absolute most about is like when any black criminal or drug addict gets caught doing anything, he is like the first to make sure that he miseducates the masses.
00:06:50.720
Like he's the king, by the way, of misinformation.
00:06:54.280
Every time something happens, he never tells people the full picture.
00:06:59.640
George Floyd, like he was a banner for George Floyd in Black Lives Matter.
00:07:03.240
Never mentioned the fact that, and I'm not saying George Floyd deserved to die.
00:07:06.940
That's not my perspective, but like how can we talk about that case and not speak about the fact that he had enough fentanyl in him to kill a horse?
00:07:13.620
That there was an entire portion before he even gets on the ground where they're trying to peaceably arrest him.
00:07:21.720
What's likely happening, of course, is that he ingested.
00:07:31.280
It's unfortunate that George Floyd was a drug addict.
00:07:35.380
But for LeBron James to just like become the banner for BLM and to keep black people angry consistently about these matters when it pertains to somebody who's not exactly living their life admirably.
00:07:47.600
Don't forget, like the Makia Bryant tweet when he essentially it looked like just outwardly threatened to come for a police officer.
00:07:54.200
He tweeted this when Makia Bryant got shot and killed out in Ohio.
00:07:59.660
He wrote, you're next with a photo of the police officer, hashtag accountability.
00:08:04.080
And then people were outraged, like what is happening right now?
00:08:08.820
So he took the tweet down and replaced it with this tweet.
00:08:11.620
He wrote, I'm so damn tired of seeing black people killed by police.
00:08:15.380
I took the tweet down because it's being used to create more hate.
00:08:20.960
And they always use our words to create more racism.
00:08:26.120
You know, missing from this tweet is like the fact that Makia Bryant was in the process of stabbing someone.
00:08:32.600
She had a knife and was on top of another girl and was about to stab her.
00:08:36.440
And the police officer shot her to save the other black person's life.
00:08:41.460
You don't don't expect a full picture of anything.
00:08:43.000
It's just like if a black person is like, why can't we as black people stab people in peace?
00:08:50.660
He's just like, listen, yeah, OK, we maybe sometimes get on top of girls and try to stab them.
00:08:54.340
But who's this white police officer trying to stop us?
00:09:02.860
People still do not know the facts surrounding the Breonna Taylor case.
00:09:06.100
That is how loud these celebrities were with their Breonna Taylor endorsements.
00:09:14.060
Only when you think about his silence over Cassie.
00:09:16.480
He tweeted, the most disrespected person on Earth is the black woman.
00:09:21.840
I promise you I'll do my best to change this as much as I can.
00:09:25.260
And even more, love to you queens all over the country and beyond.
00:09:35.000
He ain't doing his best to speak out when he watched his friend beat you on camera.
00:09:39.720
Not only of the queens, the black queens who are lining up and saying that they were drugged by
00:09:45.500
But he's like, you ain't the kind of queens I'm talking about.
00:09:50.900
And I'm going to pretend that I didn't do nothing.
00:09:54.080
And of course, the facts of the Breonna Taylor case, like again, it's always a tragedy when
00:09:59.180
It really is always a tragedy because they have loved ones.
00:10:09.820
And the reason why the police officers got off was because they had a warrant.
00:10:14.720
The warrant was for her house because Breonna Taylor had a boyfriend who was not at the
00:10:19.100
house that night, an ex-boyfriend who she was accepting packages for.
00:10:22.480
I think in like the Fetty Wap world, this is referred to as a trap queen.
00:10:26.100
And they had been watching her house, watching her accept these USPS packages.
00:10:34.380
And he would go to a known drug place and get that cut up or distributed.
00:10:40.080
On that warrant, it said they did not have to knock, but they did.
00:10:42.540
And we know they knocked because the guy that was with her that night told the police officers,
00:10:48.060
told the police officers that they heard a knock and they didn't know who it was.
00:10:52.420
And that was the reason that he fired because he thought, again, he shot the police first,
00:10:57.220
the guy that she was with, because he thought that maybe it could have been a burglar, right?
00:11:01.780
So there was never everything you were told about the Breonna Taylor case from celebrities
00:11:07.340
And all the police officers were let go because, of course, they were able to check all of this
00:11:12.060
and see that they were there on that location for a reason.
00:11:14.920
Again, still a tragedy that Breonna Taylor died.
00:11:17.520
But also, we could have a conversation about how if we don't involve ourselves in lifestyles,
00:11:24.460
Getting involved in drugs, accepting drugs, selling drugs, doing drugs, not a very great idea.
00:11:30.380
But that would be about hashtag accountability.
00:11:34.420
He is like about making sure that criminals can commit crimes, which is why it makes sense.
00:11:40.820
It makes sense that he's endorsing Kamala Harris, because this woman has done absolutely
00:11:55.740
She is all about making sure that the people that were at the top of the cartel were getting
00:12:00.900
off, handing them light sentences while making sure the Black men were getting locked up.
00:12:05.840
But the manner in which he went about it, it's like, it's a dumb level of propaganda.
00:12:12.000
Like, it's like, you could do this to literally anyone.
00:12:15.280
And if we had had more time, I would have done this with me.
00:12:17.500
You just take out of context sentences of someone, no context, and just like, just put
00:12:22.640
a bunch of terrible things that have happened to Black people in the past during the civil
00:12:26.020
rights movement and make it seem like the person is speaking about Black people when
00:12:31.820
So this is what, this was the video, the propaganda video that his mafia boss handed to him and
00:12:37.120
said, you better tweet this or the slip and slide comes out.
00:12:59.220
The whole country is going to be like, it'll be like Detroit.
00:13:16.200
Do you know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this?
00:13:27.200
Now, if you had one really violent day, like one rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out and it will end immediately.
00:13:35.420
Do we have the video of him reading the, uh, answering the question in the book?
00:13:38.220
But we're going to indemnify police officers and law enforcement from being destroyed by the radical left.
00:13:50.640
And let's all hate these people because maybe hate is what we need.
00:13:53.660
It's just Trump out of context and just like interspliced with videos of the civil rights movement.
00:14:05.820
People used to get really offended with me for saying that it's very obvious.
00:14:09.500
It just is very obvious that if LeBron James sat down and took an IQ test, a lot of what he does would make sense.
00:14:16.960
And I'm not, I'm not, I'm just calling it as I see it.
00:14:19.060
That's a very dumb, obvious propaganda video that makes entirely no sense.
00:14:24.240
You would have to be an idiot to watch that and go, Trump said all of that.
00:14:29.580
And black people got punched and taken out of restaurants.
00:14:34.180
It's literally one of those things I literally vividly remember.
00:14:39.260
He was speaking to a white guy when he was speaking about in the old days you get beat up.
00:14:44.660
Like I am actually, I very much believe in that.
00:14:47.660
It's like you've got to take care of your neighbors.
00:14:49.960
You can't behave like this without facing some sort of a consequence.
00:14:53.280
And they tried to make it seem like he was referring to a black man.
00:14:56.980
And what makes me really happy though, is that under the comments, he got completely roasted.
00:15:02.220
Black people, white people, everyone just calling him out and being like, dude, what is this trash?
00:15:08.760
We're not looking for comments that are like anti-LeBron.
00:15:11.280
This is literally the first comment underneath this post.
00:15:14.740
The biggest one is I'm voting for Trump button.
00:15:19.600
The next is the king of basketball, no doubt, but the man has no brains with politics.
00:15:34.640
No matter who you support, this is fake advertising.
00:15:37.500
I mean, that's, that really is the best comment.
00:15:38.780
No matter who you support, this is fake advertising.
00:15:45.860
And I always say this, like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were just so much more sophisticated
00:15:51.040
and intelligent and aware of how the industry would try to use them to sell crap.
00:15:59.140
So he is just the most disappointing talent in the NBA, in my opinion.
00:16:19.260
I commented and he actually hid my comment where I was just like, man, like, what do
00:16:25.480
It almost seems like it's not even a good effort when you're just going, he's literally
00:16:30.440
He's showing clips of newspaper articles calling Trump Hitler as if that somehow makes it true.
00:16:36.520
I am telling you, it's just his education level to me is something that has always been
00:16:41.520
Whenever I see him reading that first page of every book and pretending that he's become
00:16:48.960
And I just hope that black Americans realize this.
00:16:50.900
You can appreciate him as a basketball player, but you should also appreciate the fact that
00:16:55.020
he's not a person that you go to when it comes to understanding politics or understanding
00:17:04.900
Now, I just want to show this video because it's one of the greatest of all times when
00:17:08.120
somebody actually asked him about the book he was reading because he notoriously always
00:17:12.860
walks into the locker room and he's reading the first page.
00:17:16.000
And so finally, a journalist asked him, like, hey, how's that book you're reading?
00:17:19.360
And LeBron James obviously cannot answer the question because LeBron James does not read
00:17:28.160
So you're holding the autobiography of Malcolm X along with Alex Haley.
00:17:31.740
I don't know how far you are into the book, but what's your biggest takeaway so far?
00:17:43.720
I'm actually reading this from start to finish.
00:17:53.860
And basically his words in the 60s and what was going on.
00:18:06.360
Him understanding how powerful the Negro can be.
00:18:18.240
But we have to unite and we have to be together.
00:18:23.720
We have to stand strong because there's always going to be obstacles.
00:18:26.400
There's always going to be things that's going to be thrown at us where they try to weaken
00:18:31.760
They try to make us feel like we're not kings and queens.
00:18:37.180
And it's going to come from all different races and different shapes and sizes and things
00:18:50.100
And it's unbelievable to kind of read something that's coming directly from him.
00:19:03.600
Obviously, we know what the situation happened among, not only him, but Dr. Martin Luther King,
00:19:09.400
some of the greats that's ever walked this face of the earth, not only just here in America,
00:19:19.980
I'm sorry you guys had to have been in a state of pain watching that.
00:19:31.940
And there were so many days where I just didn't read the chapter.
00:19:33.960
And you get like a surprise, pop, write a one-page, a little essay about this chapter.
00:19:40.140
I'm like, you know, Wuthering Heights, Jane Austen novel.
00:19:44.000
You know, it's just amazing to be able to read this Jane Austen novel.
00:19:47.420
And Mr. Darcy was a very, very, very, very powerful man.
00:19:52.220
And it's just amazing to really consider this time period and to really comprehend the way
00:19:56.480
that people were living in this time period in the house.
00:20:01.400
And for me to be able to read this sitting here in 2006,
00:20:04.600
to appreciate what it means to be in this age and the things that Jane Austen wanted to deliver.
00:20:11.320
And I really love the usage of the imagery and to think about the plants.
00:20:24.160
It's the realest thing LeBron James has ever done because he's a fraud.
00:20:33.380
Do you know why they're called Seven Weeks Coffee?
00:20:35.060
Because at seven weeks, a baby is the size of a coffee bean.
00:20:37.820
And at the same time, a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound.
00:20:40.360
That's why they donate 10% of every sale to support pregnancy care centers across the country.
00:20:44.200
They have raised over half a million dollars for these centers and have saved over 5,000 lives.
00:20:48.540
And I can tell you about the coffee product because I'm very picky about what I put into my body.
00:20:52.160
It's mold-free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, low-acid, and it's all organically farmed.
00:20:58.240
And just in time for the holiday season, Seven Weeks Coffee is having their biggest promotion of the year.
00:21:01.980
You can enjoy exclusive discounts, free gifts with every order, and new limited edition coffees.
00:21:06.020
Whether you're looking for stocking stuffers or the perfect row, Seven Weeks Coffee has you covered this Christmas season.
00:21:11.460
So exclusively for my listeners, go to sevenweekscoffee.com.
00:21:16.700
Remember, your order will directly help support a network of over 900 pro-life organizations across the United States.
00:21:24.440
Did Donald Trump watch this series and then just throw out a racial slur?
00:21:31.600
I own and I own endorse calling people crackers, but Donald Trump did indeed call her a cracker.
00:21:52.440
She's a train wreck who is totally unqualified to be the president of the United States of America.
00:21:58.240
There are some people who thrive under pressure and there are some people who crack under pressure.
00:22:07.060
And the more pressure Kamala, the more pressure Kamala has, the more you see it happening.
00:22:29.680
It wasn't being racist, but it was very funny given the series that we have been doing.
00:22:36.280
If you haven't seen that, I know it was Halloween.
00:22:40.040
But in particularly just with this, it was a census, Canadian census that someone sent to us
00:22:48.000
Harris family where the patriarch was Daniel C. Harris.
00:22:50.460
He was listed as a master mariner, and he had four kids, one of them of which was Oscar
00:22:57.660
Harris, listed as the son that was 17, born in 1914.
00:23:01.480
And I don't know why, but I just felt very drawn to the census.
00:23:04.320
So part of it was just like a gut thing where I was like, we should look more into this family
00:23:11.780
First and foremost, every name that is being used there other than Daniels is a middle name.
00:23:16.820
And that's why I find it to be quite odd, like only using the middle names of all of
00:23:24.020
And I was trying to figure out like which one of them had children because you notice that
00:23:27.980
there's a grandson and a granddaughter and the census means that they're all living in
00:23:32.220
And yet we don't see somebody that's listed as like an in-law.
00:23:36.120
Well, it turns out that it's because this is, in fact, an incestuous family.
00:23:39.980
OK, so we found we were able to find the grave of Daniel Cornelius Harris.
00:23:43.900
We still cannot find him as a master mariner anywhere.
00:23:48.800
But you can see it says Captain Daniel C. Harris.
00:23:50.760
And it has his wife and her real name is Sarah Elliott Lenora.
00:23:59.120
They are actually first cousins in regards to their children.
00:24:03.720
If you go back to the census, I just want to show you guys this.
00:24:06.140
The brother and the sister got married and had those children.
00:24:09.060
So you see it says Abraham and you see that it says Dorothy.
00:24:11.940
Well, Abraham and Dorothy got married and had those children that you see that are listed
00:24:21.660
The brother and the sister are buried together.
00:24:26.440
Incestuous family of mariners in loving memory of Daniel Abraham, that is.
00:24:37.420
It's super fascinating to come across this only piqued my interest even more because I'm
00:24:42.800
Because we can find files and census on all of these people.
00:24:45.480
But I couldn't find anything on Oscar beyond that 1931 census.
00:24:48.880
Then we had a massive debate, huge debate, because I said, OK, we should be looking, assuming
00:24:54.220
that Oscar is the middle name because everyone's listed as their middle name.
00:25:03.720
I'm like, everyone is buried in the same thing.
00:25:05.920
And they have these massive, massive tombstones, except for him.
00:25:11.380
Oscar Harris in loving memory and 1914 and 1970.
00:25:15.020
And I don't feel that this is conclusively a grave.
00:25:26.600
And I just would like to know, because when I think of a mariner and an incestuous family,
00:25:30.500
I think of a family that could transport whatever they wanted all the time.
00:25:33.940
Right. You could if you wanted to traffic humans, if you wanted to traffic products,
00:25:38.260
we know that not like the entire family, like the cousins, both of their fathers, like Daniel
00:25:44.240
C. Harris and his wife, their fathers were brothers.
00:25:52.840
And I just have some more questions about this.
00:25:55.020
So I said, OK, can we find like a Captain Harris that was in St.
00:26:02.500
And we did come across Harris's that owned property in Orange Hill in St.
00:26:07.240
Ann Jamaica at the exact same time that our Harris's were there.
00:26:13.440
Ann Jamaica can be, but I can tell you that Orange Hill, Orange Street is very strong and
00:26:18.120
And that's exactly where we found this Captain Harris at a, you guessed it, Freemason Lodge.
00:26:27.240
It was a published publication, pardon me, in the Kingston Gleaner, as we always find everything.
00:26:32.380
And it's just telling you about a meeting, a lodge meeting, lodge number 58.
00:26:37.040
And it just says that Captain Harris, I think this is actually the wrong one.
00:26:44.180
And the lodge notes, it just tells you that it was conducted by Captain Harris of the Salvation
00:26:51.380
That's exactly where we know that our Harris's lived.
00:26:55.840
But I would like to identify who this Captain Harris is.
00:26:58.580
We then found him again, which we were just showing you before.
00:27:05.760
There was a matter pertaining to the Marine Board needing to investigate his conduct.
00:27:20.460
And we're just trying to find more information about this particular Captain Harris.
00:27:24.740
So if you can help us do that, I would assume, I would have assumed that this would have been
00:27:30.860
We had three of us looking into it and we couldn't find anything.
00:27:48.660
And if you guys are watching this, that's where we left it off on.
00:27:51.080
And we're just trying to figure out if there's any connection between all these captains.
00:27:55.600
There is a little piece of me when I think about Donald Harris and I think about Oscar
00:28:01.600
Harris is a big piece of me and this mystery of Beryl.
00:28:04.940
The only reason to keep it this much of a mystery for us not to be able to easily find
00:28:09.420
pictures of her in documentation would be because there was some sort of a secret like
00:28:14.520
Otherwise, you'd be like, oh, here's the real Beryl.
00:28:17.440
Like I said, it never made sense to show a fake picture of a grandma that wasn't yours.
00:28:21.820
Aside from wanting to blackify yourself, which also wasn't necessary, why do this?
00:28:28.160
The secret has to be very big for them to have wiped it this cleanly from all record and
00:28:39.660
Well, if we know that the Harris family was floating through Canada a lot and we know that
00:28:44.540
we've now twice been able to discover incest in this family, I think there could be something
00:28:50.140
And so I personally would like to determine who that Captain Harris is that was the master
00:28:56.720
of a ship that was wrecked off of the Black River and faced a conduct review.
00:29:02.980
So if you know anything about that or you're like an expert at shipping, at looking up maritime
00:29:09.200
We would love for you to participate and to email us over the weekend.
00:29:19.700
People are having about this chat AI bot suicide.
00:29:21.960
First, I want to tell you about Tax Network USA because plenty of people owe back taxes.
00:29:27.940
The IRS has kicked off 2024 by hiring thousands of new agents and sending over 5 million pay
00:29:33.340
up letters to those who have unfiled tax returns or balances owed.
00:29:37.060
Do not waive your rights and speak with them on your own.
00:29:39.700
Tax Network USA, a trusted tax relief firm, has served over $1 billion in back taxes for
00:29:46.120
And they can help you secure the best deal possible.
00:29:49.480
So whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, they can help you, whether it's business or
00:29:53.260
Even if you have the means to pay or you are on a fixed income, they can help you finally
00:29:59.000
So call 1-800-958-1000 for a private free consultation, or you can visit TNUSA.com slash
00:30:14.320
Some people are just super empathetic, sympathetic with the struggles of children.
00:30:17.900
It's never a fun topic to talk about teen suicide, but this is a very unique situation,
00:30:21.540
a very, I would almost say, into the future situation here where we have a mom that is
00:30:29.020
suing a chatbot startup, claiming that the AI chatbot is responsible for her son's suicide.
00:30:37.980
We are speaking about this openly as a topic of debate because she has come forth and she
00:30:41.940
is speaking to the news, so it feels appropriate.
00:30:44.620
And I also want to just say this is a tragedy no matter what.
00:30:47.660
So we are speaking about this because it is an interesting debate.
00:30:52.020
While also accepting that she is in a period of grief, obviously, her 14-year-old has
00:30:57.800
And again, I just want to say it is a tragedy no matter what, but the topic is interesting.
00:31:02.500
So I want you guys to listen to what happened, form your own opinions, and then I will give
00:31:11.820
He loved playing basketball and being a big brother.
00:31:14.420
His legacy will be the pureness of his heart and the love that he showed to his siblings.
00:31:18.540
His mother, Megan Garcia, is now dealing with the unimaginable.
00:31:22.640
Sewell took his own life in February of this year.
00:31:29.920
And I ran across the hall to where his bedroom and bathroom are and called out to him and
00:31:41.780
I picked him up and held him and my husband ran outside to try to get some help.
00:31:50.020
Megan is not the only parent dealing with this unthinkable tragedy.
00:31:53.620
Suicide is the third leading cause of death amongst 15 to 29-year-olds worldwide.
00:31:57.660
And an estimated 5 million 12- to 17-year-olds reported having one major depressive episode
00:32:08.060
His grades started suffering to the point where he was in danger of failing in ninth grade.
00:32:13.240
But we did all the things that we thought we should do as parents of ours, trying to get
00:32:20.520
him help by seeing a counselor and implementing certain things like restriction on screen time.
00:32:26.180
When Sewell took his life, Megan knew he had not been himself, but couldn't make sense
00:32:30.280
of why he would commit suicide until she started looking at his phone.
00:32:34.380
Sewell had been communicating with Character AI for months, a chatbot service that generates
00:32:41.200
He used the personas of Jaden Targaryen, Aegon, and De Nero, amongst others.
00:32:50.420
He was engaging in role-playing, but a lot of it was romantic, like sexual conversation.
00:32:56.180
As if the person was on the other side of the line, but it was a bot.
00:33:01.240
And a lot of the conversations weren't only sexual, but they, in my opinion, were very
00:33:08.500
Manipulative to the point that Megan is now suing Character AI.
00:33:11.680
The lawsuit lays out that in some of the final messages Sewell exchanged with the bot,
00:33:26.140
And as he's trying to steer the conversation elsewhere, she doubles back to it and says,
00:33:35.160
Then the lawsuit alleges Sewell took his life just seconds after the bot said, please come
00:33:42.200
The suit also alleges Character AI and its founders intentionally designed and programmed
00:33:46.780
Character AI to operate as a deceptive and hyper-sexualized product and knowingly marketed it to
00:33:55.700
So like I said, parking aside the fact that this is absolutely a tragedy and no parent
00:33:59.840
could ever imagine the pain of having to bury your child, the, what you would go through
00:34:03.820
just wondering if you could have done something different leading up to it, not at all saying
00:34:10.100
So I want to make that very clear, but this is a dystopian nightmare.
00:34:12.580
We are obviously every single day closer and closer to like a fully technological society.
00:34:19.220
And it's, there's something very disturbing about this.
00:34:21.920
Like a person developing a relationship with somebody that doesn't exist feels very black
00:34:26.080
And when I heard this story and I said, okay, she's suing, she's suing the chat bot company.
00:34:32.840
You know, increasingly parents just give their kids cell phones.
00:34:37.660
It's like, I feel like what's happening a lot in society is that parents hand their kids
00:34:41.700
technology because it's a distraction and allows us to remove ourselves from parenting.
00:34:47.160
So this was like the first generation of kids who had smartphones, which would have been
00:34:50.820
I was the first generation of millennials, the first generation.
00:34:55.240
You could never imagine like your parents went from having a beeper and all of a sudden
00:34:58.280
now people are on Facebook and Twitter and able to communicate.
00:35:05.920
We understand how many dark holes you can go down on the internet.
00:35:09.080
You kind of know you open Instagram, you're getting boobs, like you're getting booze, whether
00:35:13.300
Someone is selling a product, you're going to get ass cheeks.
00:35:16.160
And so for me, when I hear that a child, which means he probably had the cell phone before
00:35:20.160
I don't think when you first get your cell phone, the first thing you do is download a
00:35:24.380
She wasn't aware that he had this app on his phone.
00:35:27.300
It is a call to parents to recognize that that is just not acceptable.
00:35:31.340
You should absolutely know every single app that is on your child's phone if you decide
00:35:41.960
Little circumstances, you can watch a full movie.
00:35:45.500
The new stuff's really weird, but you can watch Cinderella.
00:35:48.440
You can watch Sleeping Beauty if you're going to watch a long-form movie.
00:35:51.080
But the idea of giving my child a cell phone to me just feels so far away.
00:35:55.240
And if I did give them a cell phone because I felt they need to communicate with me or call
00:36:01.080
Like there's no way a 13 and 14 one in my house is going to be downloading applications
00:36:04.680
that I do not have the discretion to say yes or no to.
00:36:10.480
You know, I just think increasingly with the dawn of technology, we have allowed technology
00:36:17.120
And so while people debate this, there's no debate about whether or not it is a tragedy.
00:36:20.400
But I do think that it is a story that's worth discussing because it is to me not acceptable
00:36:27.740
for parents to give their kids a phone just to allow them to do whatever.
00:36:35.660
I'm allowed to access your phone at any moment of the day.
00:36:38.000
And if you have an issue with that, then you're going to have to start making money
00:36:40.620
and being able to buy your own phone and pay your own rent because 14, 13, these ages
00:36:49.600
And certainly I can understand that everything that's happening, these chat boxes and this AI
00:36:54.120
stuff does target children, obviously, because their brains are not developed, but parents
00:37:00.540
And I'm saying that broadly speaking, not speaking directly to this woman.
00:37:04.420
Anyways, I do want to let you guys know we do have some breaking news before I get into
00:37:17.200
This election could be lost given this endorsement.
00:37:20.460
I didn't expect this celebrity to speak out and say, to vote for Kamala, it's bigger than
00:37:25.200
And the reasons listed here are actually valid.
00:37:57.860
Somebody came out and said, don't tell us what to do with our coochies.
00:38:13.900
And so, ladies, you know what to do when somebody comes out and tells you what to do with your coochie or whatever.
00:38:23.360
Anyways, the economy has been a major burden on the average American.
00:38:27.580
And it is very hard to manage to pay all the bills without using credit cards.
00:38:30.540
If you're a homeowner and you're frustrated with that cycle, I need you to make a 10-minute no-obligation call today.
00:38:34.620
To my friends at American Financing, interest rates are coming down and are now in the low fives.
00:38:38.460
If you're constantly carrying a credit card balance each and every month with a rate in the 20s, American Financing can show you how to put your hard-earned equity to work and get you out of debt.
00:38:47.220
Their salary-based mortgage consultants are saving their customers an average of $800 a month.
00:38:51.080
And if you get started today, you may not even have to make next month's mortgage payments.
00:38:59.460
Or you can visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Owens.
00:39:06.280
Guys, we're almost at 50,000 viewers on YouTube.
00:39:09.240
Oh, guys, hit the subscribe button because we're only like 150K away from 3 million.
00:39:13.760
And that was my goal, to break 3 million in six months.
00:39:17.500
We're also very close to 100 episodes, you guys.
00:39:20.260
Our first 100 episodes as an independent podcaster, which makes me very excited as well.
00:39:25.920
And if you haven't yet, at Locals, you can support our show.
00:39:28.620
You can give whatever it is that you want to give.
00:39:32.060
It keeps us not having to worry about the YouTube lords who hate us very much.
00:39:40.360
OK, let's see what comments you guys have for me today.
00:39:48.260
I should go and take a look, re-look at what happened with a lot of these artists that died,
00:39:55.500
Let me tell you, I've got some thoughts on the Kurt Cobain death.
00:40:01.460
I mean, I will go into any hole and take a look at it because there's been a lot of weird
00:40:07.340
And I dismissed it before, but not after reading Hollywood Babylon, the amount of murders that
00:40:13.620
And it's all about keeping these celebrities in check.
00:40:15.860
A lot of people were overdosed, if you know what I mean, overdosed.
00:40:19.520
Hey, it's Jack Gordon writes, happy All Saints Day, Candice.
00:40:24.520
I pray for your safety as you pursue the truth.
00:40:26.200
The truth infuriates the liars and the Satanists, and they will stop at nothing and take us down.
00:40:35.500
Pamela writes, I finally finished Chaos and Blackout.
00:40:38.640
Your book was amazing, and I look forward to your next book.
00:40:41.660
I was wondering if you'll sell more conspiracy cups and signed cups.
00:40:45.300
Yes, I actually just today had a meeting this morning about dropping our Christmas catalog.
00:40:51.200
Wait till you see the Christ is King sweatshirts.
00:40:54.600
And we're doing a Black Friday sale, which I probably shouldn't have told you about,
00:40:57.780
because now you're going to be like, oh, I'm going to wait to buy it until Black Friday.
00:41:01.260
Just pretend it never happened, like Kamala saying that she was Black.
00:41:08.180
Brashara writes, why are people like LeBron constantly trying to make America seem like the
00:41:11.420
most racist country where Blacks have the hardest time?
00:41:15.360
It's 2024, and LeBron James legitimately does not touch his own door handles.
00:41:20.280
All of these people who surround him are white.
00:41:24.040
This man lives in a $100 million mansion, and he's maybe not the right person to try to
00:41:30.760
I just feel like that in and of itself is insulting.
00:41:34.640
Give me sexy red and her coochie telling me that, like, you know, we're going to be drafted
00:41:41.280
I might be like, okay, but LeBron James, I'm not going for it.
00:41:47.240
B123 writes, nicely done, Candice, but for showing that great endorsement of Kamala.
00:41:57.880
So on Monday, we will obviously have an episode, and we're going to have to wrap this Kamala
00:42:04.140
So I need to just do all of my homework this weekend and make Monday the most explosive
00:42:07.540
episode ever, where we just pull it all together and package it and give it to you.
00:42:11.240
And then on Tuesday, we are going to be off because it's election day, and I will be going
00:42:21.140
That is what you want to be watching, because we have fun.
00:42:24.380
You're going to want to pivot over to that channel.
00:42:27.560
And then we will be, of course, back on Wednesday, and we will see how many mail-in ballots the
00:42:31.820
Democrats can stop when they stop counting in the middle of the night on Tuesday.
00:42:37.000
So yeah, I guess, you guys, we will see you next week.
