00:00:18.120All right, guys, happy Wednesday. Here's what I can say on both the left and the right.
00:00:22.320It seems that we have people that are playing a game of checkers and not chess.
00:00:26.020So to my liberals, who exactly are you winning over to your side when you attack Gwen Stefani for supporting a fellow Catholic because he's speaking to Tucker Carlson?
00:00:36.940OK, we're going to talk about that. She's being attacked online for sharing an episode that was about faith.
00:00:41.840To my conservatives, I don't know who exactly we're winning over when we applaud the arrest or rather not the arrest, the detainment of a green card holder.
00:00:50.220Three days now, a legal resident of the United States for a speech that we don't exactly like or agree with.
00:00:57.640That's what at least it appears to be on its face right now.
00:01:00.200This is one of those fun episodes where no matter who you are, there's something for you to be offended about.
00:01:04.480So let's jump right back in. Welcome back to Candace.
00:01:07.140OK, so one of the many things that I miss about the 90s, you know, if you watch this show, I always say the 90s was the golden decade.
00:01:28.000Everybody was happy and saving up for Disney.
00:01:30.320And there were a lot of comedians and comedians who were very offensive, right?
00:01:34.660They would get everybody into a room, people like Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, and it would make fun of every race and every person.
00:01:41.380And by the end of the standup routine, everyone was a little bit offended and also was better for it, knowing that, OK, like you're not that special.
00:01:50.860You don't deserve special considerations. And I'm kind of bringing that back.
00:01:54.280I feel that today both sides just need to be roasted for being a little bit ridiculous, starting with conservatives, obviously, because this has been trending everywhere.
00:02:02.500People that are looking for reasons to support Mahmoud Khalil's detainment.
00:02:08.500OK, so we discussed this yesterday. If you if you need to get all of the facts, depending on leading up to this moment, please go back and watch yesterday's episode.
00:02:15.520But essentially, he is a Palestinian green card holder, also a former student, graduate student of Columbia University, who was detained three days ago.
00:02:25.820That's important because he has still not yet been charged, despite all of the rhetoric online, people digging up social media posts like we're in the UK, social media posts that are not attributable to him.
00:02:39.380We don't know who's running these accounts. Some of them have been doctored. Some of them are fake.
00:02:43.900Like the Trump team and the Republicans are struggling to give a clear and concise answer as to why they were pursuing his deportation.
00:02:52.640Right. And that's very unusual. I want to be clear. Typically, one of the things that you love about watching these press briefings is that whether it's Kayleigh McEnany or Caroline Levitt, when the press comes to them with questions, they're able to slap them down with facts.
00:03:05.520And this time it just seems like we're getting emotion. OK, any crime, any arrest, any reason that they had arrested him for breaking a crime would have sufficed.
00:03:14.860That's how I am. I'm tough on this stuff. And I totally agree.
00:03:18.040Again, just to reiterate that if you are here, especially on a student visa, not even a legal resident, and you are caught breaking the law, you've opened yourself up for deportation.
00:03:29.260That's why we're like, yeah, the illegals, they broke the law. They're not here legally. You can go home. OK.
00:03:32.920But instead, we're being told by Caroline Levitt that it had something to do with him being a part of a group on campus that distributed flyers that were pro-Hamas.
00:03:44.120So she's not actually explicitly accusing him of distributing any flyers. So the language here is interesting.
00:03:51.000And she can't show us the flyers because it's beneath the dignity of the office to show us pro-Hamas propaganda.
00:03:57.480But she's telling us that he helped to organize a group that distributed things that were terroristic.
00:04:04.400And before I tell you what is wrong with that argument, we should just listen to how she described this again.
00:04:09.480Question here on Mahmoud Khalil. Does the administration believe that it needs to charge a green card holder with a crime to be eligible for deportation?
00:04:18.280Well, in fact, Secretary Rubio reserves the right to revoke the visa of Mahmoud Khalil.
00:04:26.240And I'm glad you brought this up. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Secretary of State has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who serve or are adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States of America.
00:04:42.400And Mahmoud Khalil was an individual who was given the privilege of coming to this country to study at one of our nation's finest universities and colleges.
00:04:53.320And he took advantage of that opportunity, of that privilege, by siding with terrorists, Hamas terrorists who have killed innocent men, women, and children.
00:05:02.080This is an individual who organized group protests that not only disrupted college campus classes and harassed Jewish American students and made them feel unsafe on their own college campus, but also distributed pro-Hamas propaganda.
00:05:18.540Flyers with the logo of Hamas. That is what the behavior and activity that this individual engaged in.
00:05:25.400And I have those flyers on my desk. They were provided to me by the Department of Homeland Security.
00:05:29.480I thought about bringing them into this briefing room to share with all of you, but I didn't think it was worth the dignity of this room to bring that pro-Hamas propaganda.
00:05:38.060But that's what this individual distributed on the campus of Columbia University.
00:05:41.640And this administration is not going to tolerate individuals having the privilege of studying in our country and then siding with pro-terrorist organizations that have killed Americans.
00:05:52.440We have a zero-tolerance policy for siding with terrorists, period.
00:05:56.280Okay. So she, again, is not saying that Mahmoud himself distributed or that he even created the pro-Hamas material that we aren't allowed to see because it would be beneath the dignity of the office.
00:06:09.600But rather, he helped to organize a protest and these groups, some people that were in these protests, then harassed Jewish students.
00:06:18.560They have not been arrested or maybe they have been arrested. That's not clear.
00:06:22.360They distributed materials that she says are pro-Hamas propaganda.
00:06:29.220Again, why aren't we arresting and using those individuals to set an example?
00:06:33.820So I would be very comfortable with that.
00:06:35.980But she also reminds us in the beginning that it is the secretary of state that has the right to revoke a green card for any person that acts against the national security and foreign interests of the United States.
00:06:47.280So the argument is essentially, just to make this clear, terrorism is in the eye of the beholder.
00:06:55.080The definition of terrorism and the definition of what are our national security interests, that's going to change from administration to administration.
00:07:02.580And that is what makes me so uncomfortable about this.
00:07:05.540And I want to explain that and also to offer something to you guys that is quite personal.
00:07:10.980But it is why I am just so enraged about this because no one understands how slippery that slope can get better than me.
00:07:18.040OK, first and foremost, I am not immune from this discussion.
00:07:22.100Let's not forget I married an immigrant.
00:07:24.020OK, who, like me, supports Donald Trump, who has supported Donald Trump through two, three elections.
00:07:31.200Now, we attended many Trump rallies, many Trump speeches.
00:07:35.760And there's one day that I will never forget.
00:07:38.440And that day is January 6th, 2020, because there is something that happened that sent a chill down my spine.
00:07:45.180OK, on that day, I was nine months pregnant living in Washington, D.C.
00:08:29.940Like, there seems to be nothing going on.
00:08:31.840Next thing I know, I'm seeing images on CNN, MSNBC talking about how there's been this insurrection, showing images of people pushing past the police barricades.
00:08:43.500We're getting so much information, a lot of it which wasn't even true.
00:08:46.400We're being told that officers were killed, were bludgeoned to death.
00:08:50.220Things that were clarified later that nobody even remembers were clarified as being wrong because it's all about selling the emotion on that day.
00:08:57.200And what followed thereafter was genuinely like the secret police, like I said to you guys yesterday.
00:09:05.880People who didn't even go into the Capitol building had FBI people on their door.
00:09:10.060People were being encouraged to snitch on their neighbors.
00:09:12.660And what happened to me in my personal life was I had signed a deal with Hachette Publishing for my second book.
00:09:19.900And they called me up and they were telling me essentially that I was being put into a holding pattern because they weren't sure if they were going to revoke this book deal, this book offer, rather, for my second book, the one that is finally in my hands.
00:09:34.440I told you guys that this went through a lot.
00:09:36.100And they basically kind of wanted to have an interview with me to see what I thought about the quote unquote insurrection and were pressuring me to distance myself from Donald Trump, who I supported very much.
00:09:49.920And the arguments that were being made at that time sound remarkably similar to what Carolyn Levitt is saying.
00:09:54.900Well, Donald Trump, Donald Trump's team organized this rally.
00:09:57.900So anything that happened, people storming the Capitol building, people walking in the Capitol building, anything that happened that day is now attributable to Donald Trump.
00:10:37.880You know, we talked about it and it's fine.
00:10:39.280And I actually went back to Hachette and I said, I don't want to keep the book deal because there's something about this that bothers me.
00:10:44.820There's something about the fact that my book, which is not even about Donald Trump, it's about feminism, which is the other thing.
00:10:50.520It was extraordinary because the book wasn't even about Donald Trump and nothing to do with politics.
00:10:54.480And yet I was being threatened to lose a contract because they wanted me to just say something that was against Donald Trump.
00:11:01.580It was against the national interests of, you could say, the the incoming administration to be a Trump supporter at that time.
00:11:11.200And I'm sitting here going, what if I hadn't been pregnant?
00:11:15.600What if me and my husband went down the street like we always did to attend a bunch of political events?
00:11:20.200And that one went sideways and the media trumped it up and said it was this and domestic terrorists and terrorism was the number one word that was used.
00:11:27.800Would my husband have had his status revoked?
00:11:33.260Would my family, new family, by the way, because I was ironically, like I said, nine months pregnant with our first child, have been separated because of new definitions for what it meant to be a terrorist, which could even include not even being there that day, but someone that the public recognizes as being a supporter of Trump.
00:11:50.160That's what it means when I say that terrorism as a word that's being overused a lot by the left and the right is in the eye of the beholder.
00:11:59.400This is why I am passionately demanding that we are just given a real explanation as to why this individual, Mahmoud, is being detained.
00:12:08.960That's it. I just want to know why this family is potentially going to be separated because he had a legal status here.
00:12:15.100He was not just here on a student visa.
00:12:16.720He had a green card. OK, very different implications here.
00:12:21.280He actually does have free speech rights.
00:12:23.500He can't vote, but he has free speech rights.
00:12:25.580And I'm watching conservatives who have apparently forgotten about all that, forgotten about all the harassment that we endured.
00:12:30.820I mean, I've been called a terrorist so many times in my political background.
00:12:34.480It's kind of amazing. Domestic terrorist for supporting Donald Trump after January 6th.
00:12:38.820I've been called a domestic terrorist for seeing my grandparent during the time of covid for not vaccine my children because the national security interest was all about covid.
00:12:49.640So they had to what did they do? They squeezed speech on social media.
00:12:52.700Remember that you couldn't even publish something.
00:12:55.840You couldn't say I got the vaccine and my arm hurts before they would take it down.
00:13:00.280But they did that, remember, because of national security interests.
00:13:07.100Now, conservatives who have spent years combating the persecution of speech under the guise of terror are turning to what looks like obscure social media posts and claims that green card holders shouldn't have the right to speech or rather speech that is against, quote unquote, national security or national interests.
00:13:24.940It's like I said, seems to be a bit of a moving target.
00:13:28.440You know, a few years ago, like I said, that would have meant deporting people who spoke out against covid policies.
00:13:36.660That would have meant deporting people who spoke out against Dr. Fauci.
00:13:41.840OK, talking about actual things that they lived through by having a bad reaction, maybe going outside during lockdowns.
00:13:49.040Some people are even suggesting that criticizing any U.S. leader when you're not a citizen is wrong, which brought up a very interesting point.
00:13:57.020It was a good back forth between Glenn Greenwald and Mike Cernovich, two people that I respect very much who have different positions on this.
00:14:04.160Mike Cernovich, by the way, I'm grateful that he's actually consistent.
00:14:06.820He's like, yes, I would say Jordan Peterson should have been deported.
00:14:10.600He's Canadian because we shouldn't be hearing his political perspectives.
00:14:40.760He said, if this is the principle, and that's what I kept hearing all day, that non-citizens in the U.S.
00:14:45.600should keep their mouths shut and not engage in political protests, then you would have been fine if the Biden administration deported Jordan Peterson for criticizing Biden White House policy.
00:15:00.460I think there might even be a third tweet from him asking that question.
00:15:07.020So if Jordan Peterson went to an American college to protest that school's promotion of gender ideology and multiple genders, do you think that he should be deported for engaging in protests at American University because he is a foreigner?
00:15:23.800My only thing that I've been asking for is for someone to give me a concrete reason why this individual is being detained while his wife is eight months pregnant.
00:15:32.200And anybody that's reacting like that's crazy, like it's a crazy ask, that to me seems a little bit extreme.
00:15:38.260And what better person to ask than the person who did it, Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, surely the person who actually coordinated this detainment, Marco Rubio, can clearly or should be able to clearly explain what the crime is that he committed.
00:15:54.680So I'm going to show you what he had to say about it.
00:15:56.500Here is Marco Rubio on the detainment of Mahmoud Khalil.
00:15:59.400When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is, which is how this individual entered this country, on a visitor's visa, you are here as a visitor.
00:16:11.280We can deny you that if you tell us when you apply, hi, I'm trying to get into the United States on a student visa.
00:16:16.500I am a big supporter of Hamas, a murderous, barbaric group that kidnaps children, that rapes teenage girls, that takes hostages, that allows them to die in captivity, that returns more bodies than live hostages.
00:16:29.520If you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this, and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student and rile up all kinds of anti-Jewish student, anti-Semitic activities.
00:16:41.360I intend to shut down your universities.
00:16:43.360If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa.
00:16:47.700If you actually end up doing that, once you're in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it.
00:16:53.100And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card as a result of that visa while you're here and those activities, we're going to kick you out.
00:17:08.060No one has a right to a green card, by the way.
00:17:10.420So when you apply for a student visa or any visa to enter the United States, we have a right to deny you for virtually any reason.
00:17:16.680But I think being a supporter of Hamas and coming into our universities and turning them upside down and being complicit in what are clearly crimes of vandalization, complicit in shutting down learning institutions.
00:17:28.520There are kids at these schools that can't go to class.
00:17:30.840You pay all this money to these high-priced schools that are supposed to be of great esteem, and you can't even go to class.
00:17:36.540You're afraid to go to class because these lunatics are running around with covers on their face, screaming terrifying things.
00:17:42.220If you told us that's what you intended to do when you came to America, we would have never let you in.
00:17:46.560And if you do it once you get in, we're going to revoke it and kick you out.
00:17:49.640So the first two minutes of that is just pure hypothetical.
00:17:54.120He's like, oh, well, if you apply and you say that I support Hamas and I support terrorism, we have a right to deny you.
00:17:59.560That's not the question that's being asked of you, Marco Rubio.
00:18:28.780Well, she supported her father being the president of the United States, but that didn't stop people from making fun of her and calling her complicit every turn.
00:18:36.520She never returned any fire, but that was it.
00:18:38.780They hated Ivanka Trump for being complicit.
00:18:42.060So that's what that is, is his excuse thus far.
00:18:45.340Thus far, he has not been able to name a single thing that he did other than be complicit, meaning maybe he organized these protests and they felt that that made him complicit.
00:18:55.560So if somebody at the protest and there's 2000 people decides to spray paint something on the wall, well, he's saying we're hanging him for that because, you know, protesting is just not something that we should be doing in the United States, which even though I think it is something that we are allowed to do, we are allowed to peaceably assemble.
00:19:11.380And if somebody that you're peaceably assembling with does something that's crazy, you're not complicit in that.
00:19:17.140You have to just not do that and speak out against it when it happens.
00:19:20.940So now we are learning, by the way, and something that seems even more strange to me, that Mahmoud Khalil, who we are just being told is complicit, he's a terrorist sympathizer absent any facts, that actually he worked as a diplomat of sorts, right?
00:19:38.200And a diplomatic mission as a program manager at the Syria office in the British embassy of Beirut.
00:19:45.520So he was a person that was helping to establish peace and a British diplomat named Andrew Waller has come out and given a statement regarding Mahmoud.
00:19:57.920He said, quote, he went through a vetting process to get the job and was cleared to work on sensitive issues for the British government.
00:20:05.500Waller said, it is outright defamation what Trump has done.
00:20:09.640Mahmoud is extremely kind and conscientious person, and he was loved by his colleagues at the Syria office, he added.
00:20:18.420Maybe he didn't know that truly and this person really did just want to get in the United States because he wanted to support the activities of Hamas.
00:20:26.940But is it wrong for us to ask for the information that led to this?
00:20:30.920He's been detained and he has not been charged.
00:20:32.460So everything is just rhetoric online, which is like, why wouldn't you at first have the charges ready to go before you did this, before you publicize this on the White House website, making fun of this?
00:20:59.540And his attorneys are speaking out against that, alleging that the move from New York metropolitan area to Louisiana was just a retaliatory transfer that was intended to just restrict his access to his lawyers and to his family and to position him somewhere where essentially we would be more favorable to Trump's administration's policies.
00:21:19.440They're accusing ICE of essentially deploying the transfer as a way to disrupt court proceedings in New York.
00:21:26.740Now, there may be a valid reason that they did that.
00:21:30.180I looked at this several different ways, asked the team, why would you move him if this happened in New York?
00:21:35.200It's pertaining to Columbia University.
00:21:37.340Why would they detain him and then move him down to Louisiana?
00:21:41.060Louisiana. On Sunday, his lawyer had filed an initial petition for his release in New York in the hopes that it would be argued in New York where she could continue to represent her client.
00:21:50.740And she said, quote, the government just willfully ignored it to disrupt the natural education, edudication of that and sent him 1000 miles away, said.
00:21:59.980Her name is Bahar Azmi, the legal director of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
00:22:05.120She says, quote, now his wife can't visit him.
00:22:06.860His attorneys will have a hard time visiting him and his long term immigration attorney can't represent him in that jurisdiction.
00:22:14.320So I don't understand really what is happening right now.
00:22:17.380I don't understand who exactly this benefits.
00:22:19.840This feels to me like someone just made a call and said, go after this guy.
00:22:25.260There were so many students that they could have plucked from.
00:22:28.160Like I said, I have never been against the idea of any students that broke the law and did something, forms of illegal protesting.
00:22:35.040I've never been against the idea of those students being deported if they were here on a student visa, because I agree.
00:22:40.320I tend to agree with the fact that if you are here, you need to respect the laws and you know that you're putting yourself at risk when you are not respecting the laws.
00:22:48.680And so none of that would have flagged me as odd.
00:23:03.680People are now riled up about an issue that they actually weren't riled up about recently.
00:23:08.460Here is an aerial shot, by the way, of all the protesters outside of the city hall that were waiting for an announcement pertaining to what was happening in the courthouse.
00:23:17.640And I'm also going to show you some of the speeches that were being held this morning outside of the courthouse.
00:23:24.600This is the legal director for the Center of Constitutional Rights, the woman I just mentioned, Bahar Azmi, speaking about a sorry, a man, the professor.
00:23:35.340Oh, sorry. Bahar Azmi is a man, not a woman.
00:23:38.680And here is what he had to say about this not being a matter of security, but rather an issue that's about repression.
00:23:54.780The United States government has taken the position that it can arrest, detain, and seek to deport a lawful permanent resident exclusively because of his peaceful, constitutionally protected activism.
00:24:10.180In this case, activism in support of Palestinian human rights and an end to the genocide in Gaza.
00:24:18.700The government takes the position that because the secretary of state finds his dissent unacceptable or contrary to U.S. foreign policy, he can be deported.
00:24:35.720As Ramsey suggested, it's largely unprecedented, save for ugly historical precedents, including the Red Scare and McCarthyism.
00:24:47.720We're also talking about a period of repression that the Center for Constitutional Rights knows well, following 9-11, when we were in the courts trying to get people out of secret detention.
00:25:00.720One thing that's different now is the legal infrastructure is so much stronger and everyone out here on the streets knows that we cannot hide in the face of this amount of repression.
00:25:15.720We're fighting in the courts and fighting in the streets to bring Mahmoud home and prevent this level of repression from spreading to many others, as the administration has threatened to do.
00:25:31.840Like I said, I don't see how this benefited Trump supporters.
00:25:35.100I don't see how this benefited Republicans.
00:25:37.400I don't see how this benefits us in the future.
00:25:39.220And this is going to be drummed up and shown that, oh, you guys always say that you're free speech, but it looks like you squeezed speech.
00:25:45.360And I don't see how this benefits Jewish people and their safety.
00:25:48.500If Jewish people are walking through the streets and now seeing all of these protests that are mounting, they're going to go, OK, what just happened?
00:25:55.520Just reinforce this idea that there's Jewish supremacy because we haven't been no one's been given a reason for why this happened.
00:27:04.200And he also, by the way, I think he's wrong about that rhetoric about conservatives.
00:27:07.300But he also is making some valid points about the fear that people have of being conflated as a Hamas supporter or a terrorist sympathizer if they simply speak up and acknowledge that too many Palestinian children and women have been killed in this war.
00:27:25.360It is always dangerous to speak in public for Palestinian rights, safety and freedom with your face uncovered and your name declared.
00:27:33.000You can be sure you will be harassed, doxxed, terrorized.
00:27:36.480People will try to get you fired from your job.
00:27:39.000For speaking here, I will receive a new round of death threats, slander, complaints to my employer.
00:27:43.860When I step down from here, I will publish these remarks to protect me from the inevitable attempts to misrepresent my words.
00:27:50.320And Mahmoud, as a student negotiator, took these same risks and many more.
00:27:54.900Mahmoud is a man of decency, honor and kindness.
00:27:57.760He has distinguished himself in his work as an advocate and negotiator, as someone committed to peaceful resolution of difficult situations.
00:28:04.740He is a consummate diplomat in his disposition and his character.
00:28:09.600What the Trump government is doing to Mahmoud is obscene.
00:28:12.940It is unreasonable, intolerable, unconstitutional.
00:28:16.120So why do they think they can get away with it?
00:28:18.900The Trump administration is betting that Americans will happily look the other way as one more Palestinian is victimized here on American soil.
00:28:26.360They are betting that when you hear Mahmoud's name or the word Palestinian, the parts of you that make you a thinking and rational and caring person will switch off, and you will believe the worst about him, and you will turn a blind eye to these grave violations of his rights.
00:28:41.080And after what I've seen over the last year and a half, I'm not sure they're wrong.
00:28:44.500Anti-Palestinian groups have spent all year casually leveling the most dangerous accusations on the flimsiest grounds, and members of our own community have repeated them.
00:28:59.300Call them anti-Semitic and get them expelled.
00:29:01.580Don't like that your Jewish colleague has the chutzpah to say free Palestine?
00:29:05.560Report him for Jew hatred to a university task force.
00:29:08.100Don't like seeing a broad and diverse movement of courageous young people standing together against the ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
00:29:15.600Call your friends in the government and send the feds to their door.
00:29:18.800As an educator, it disgusts me that anyone who wants to be taken seriously in association with a university would deal so ignorantly with language and truth.
00:29:29.180But more than that, I am ashamed as a Jewish person that this kind of slander has found currency in some parts of my own community in service of the racist and anti-Semitic Trump agenda.
00:29:39.180Trump's claim that this atrocity combats anti-Semitism is insulting.
00:29:44.620I tend to agree with a lot of what he said there, and I think that that is a feeling for many of us, like I said, who have lived through the smears of just saying something that's so plainly obvious.
00:29:53.180Like, obviously, we should be trying to fight to protect innocent life.
00:29:56.720And I remember the reaction that Tucker Carlson got, like, yeah, it's evil to kill, intentionally kill women and children who are innocent and people trying to go, oh, that's crazy.
00:30:06.960That's anti-Semitic to suggest that, you know, this it's it's it's it's gone too far.
00:30:12.000And I think that that's why people are not accepting this narrative and believing people at face value when you just call somebody a terrorist sympathizer.
00:30:18.940We need actual evidence of what exactly we're speaking about when we call somebody those names, because too many of us have been called those names, whether it pertains to Palestine, whether it pertains to deciding not to get the vaccine and not to back your children or to go see your grandma during Thanksgiving or to simply go support a President Trump speech.
00:30:38.180And no one should know this better, by the way, than the Trump administration, no one should know how quickly an administration can designate somebody a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer than the Trump administration who lived through that very much.
00:30:52.080And that moment of 2021 and January 6th.
00:30:55.000So I am disappointed in conservatives who seem to have lost the threat on this issue, who are believing online rhetoric, who are not pursuing clarity and truth.
00:31:04.560Like I said, as soon as that information is presented, I will present it to the public.
00:32:35.440Also, Jacked Up Fitness with RFK Jr.'s historic confirmation, the Make America Healthy Again movement is finally here.

00:34:38.640If you're going to say that this is really about who they're platforming Russell Brand, is he problematic?
00:34:45.640Gwen Stefani, just so you know, she's been Catholic always, even when she was on tour.
00:34:50.280She attended the mass, like, while she was touring with No Doubt.
00:34:54.040When she filed for divorce from Gavin Rossdahl in August of 2015, after 13 years of marriage, she actually made sure to get that marriage annulled by the Catholic Church.
00:35:05.980It's something that you have to do because you're not actually allowed to get divorced.
00:35:09.940If you are a Catholic, you have to get that marriage officially annulled.
00:35:12.860And she had reportedly put off the idea of marrying her fiancé, Blake Shelton, until that annulment was finalized due to her religious beliefs.
00:35:19.960So she's a firm Catholic, and a source at that time told Page Six that it was, quote, a huge relief for Gwen because she wanted to get married by her priest and have the marriage recognized by the Catholic Church.
00:35:31.500And then, of course, we know that her and Blake Shelton got married in a chapel on their Oklahoma ranch on July 3rd, 2021.
00:35:38.880I mean, she has bothered no one, right?
00:35:41.060And so, obviously, when you are a Catholic, you pursue Catholic content.
00:35:44.940It just kind of comes with the territory, you know, obviously, especially if you're attending mass.
00:35:50.160If you are a committed Catholic and you attend mass every Sunday, as she allegedly does, you are going to pursue additional content.
00:35:58.300And Jonathan Rumi, who played Jesus Christ in The Passion of the Christ, stopped by Tucker Carlson's program.
00:36:04.860Not exactly anything that should blow your mind, given the fact that Mel Gibson, who created that movie, has been on Tucker Carlson.
00:36:11.660And Tucker Carlson routinely has people on to discuss faith, which you may not know because maybe you've fallen for a caricature of who Tucker Carlson is.
00:36:20.420I can tell you from knowing him, he is one of the most genuine and wonderful people out there.
00:36:25.000And, yes, he has, similar to me, had the media paint him as this or paint him as that.
00:38:24.960And the more we try to ignore it or squash it or bury it or ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist or that it's not there or replace it with something else.
00:38:34.220The more we try to fill that hole with something else, with some other vice, some other endeavor, some other, you know, righteous indignation of something.
00:38:51.180Some other effort that will never substitute, never replace our need for God.
00:39:04.840The horror of her enjoying this conversation.
00:39:06.920Also, to correct, I said he was in The Passion of the Christ.
00:39:09.100I meant to say that he is in this series, The Chosen, which people are enjoying tremendously.
00:39:13.540We have everything else offered to us on TV.
00:39:16.720So much filth that is available at our fingertips.
00:39:19.360God forbid Gwen Stefani is watching The Chosen and then listening to that actor speak across from Tucker Carlson about the need to have God in your life when there is so much chaos.
00:39:32.000And she's being attacked and it's just super wrong.
00:39:35.640And again, who do you win by doing that?
00:39:58.520They are routinely selling us drugs, rock and roll, people that are in and out of relationships, people that are struggling with various mental conditions that are having breakdowns and doing drugs.
00:40:27.300It seems like you just don't like people that have different opinions.
00:40:30.300And again, to those of you who think you hate Tucker Carlson, you're watching this show and you're starting to realize that you've been lied to about people.
00:40:37.520Maybe the media doesn't always tell the truth about things.
00:40:39.620Like maybe they weren't telling the truth about Justin Baldoni.
00:40:42.160There's a chance they haven't been telling you the truth about people like Tucker Carlson either.
00:40:45.180And maybe sitting down and listening to his content and understanding why his podcast is so big is good.
00:41:04.460I also want to add, I think it's really deeply ironic when speaking about this topic that I was speaking about earlier about anti-Semitism.
00:41:13.120It's really funny that I kind of have dealt with that as well as Tucker Carlson being called an anti-Semite for speaking about various issues in the Middle East and maybe not aligning all the time with Israel.
00:41:23.960When at the same exact time, I'm doing an entire series trying to free a Jewish man who donates to the ADL, has probably given millions of dollars to the ADL, Harvey Weinstein, and also defending Justin Baldoni and Steve Sarwitz.
00:41:36.860So there's nothing authentic in the media, guys.
00:41:38.760It's just a bunch of name-calling and ad hominem attacks to dissuade people from getting to the source because they don't want people influenced by ideas that they're not controlling.
00:41:46.980And I'm affirming to the mainstream media.
00:41:48.300They like to have a stranglehold on ideas and they brainwash people into hating one another.
00:41:58.020Lastly, before I get to some of your comments, I want to remind you about American financing.
00:42:01.500I don't know your exact situation, but I know there are thousands of homeowners that American financing talks to every month that are struggling to keep up, barely making ends meet, drowning in high interest debt.
00:42:16.560So if you're still carrying a credit card balance with 20% plus interest rates while your mortgage sits untouched, you're ignoring the one thing that could turn it all around, which is your home.
00:42:25.220And this is where American financing can help.
00:42:27.380Would you trade 10 minutes of your time for a shot at saving an average of $800 every single month?
00:42:31.600Because that's exactly what homeowners are doing when they call American financing.
00:42:34.680A simple, no-obligation call could change everything.
00:42:37.680They have a team of salary-based mortgage consultants.
00:42:39.680So there isn't any incentive to put you into a loan.
