00:00:00.000All right, guys, happy Wednesday. So Nick Fuentes, if you haven't heard of him, he is the leader of the online griper movement. Well, he got doxxed last week. That's a term meaning that his personal address was leaked online and some feminist leftist activists decided to show up at his house and one of them decided to ring the doorbell and confront him. Here is a picture of her. In response, Nick Fuentes pepper sprayed this woman. This woman that you're looking at right here. She got pepper sprayed. I'm not laughing. You're laughing.
00:00:27.160But of course, the moral question that lays before us is whether or not that was the right reaction for him to have. We're going to discuss that. In related news, it looks like Trump's election has apparently pepper sprayed the ratings of MSNBC and CNN because they are now announcing mass layoffs and a corporate sale. It seems the era of government sponsored propaganda is coming to an end.
00:00:47.240But first, promises made, promises kept, because Donald Trump just announced an entirely new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, which will focus on dismantling other government departments that we don't need, just wasteful spending.
00:01:00.900And it's going to be led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk. And this is a very good time to remind you that when it comes to government spending, you simply do not hate these politicians enough. And I'm going to show you why. Welcome to Candace.
00:01:17.240I'm going to be led by Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.
00:01:47.220But yes, this meeting between, I would say, the minds, but kind of sort of whatever's left of Joe Biden's mind and Donald Trump took place in the Oval Office.
00:01:55.740But I have to just show you very quickly this clip that's circulating, because just look at how happy Joe Biden looks. It's incredible.
00:02:03.520This is just the press approaching them after their meeting. Look at this.
00:02:06.300He's like a kid with his daddy. He's so happy. People are saying that they think that Joe Biden maybe voted for President Trump.
00:02:23.520And I think that that is totally plausible. I sense relief. He's just so tired of cosplaying the president of the United States.
00:02:29.740It's so embarrassing for him and his family. He can barely walk up the steps and he's tripping and falling all the time.
00:02:35.280And he's just like, yay, I get to go on to a beach in Delaware forever and retire.
00:02:40.680And we are happy for you, Joe Biden. And we totally understand why you voted for Trump.
00:02:44.980All right. Now, back to business, because let me tell you something, like I said at the top of the show, you do not hate your government enough.
00:02:52.120Like, I feel like my audience is very much aware and understands that we're pretty much just all slaves being run by a criminal, financial and pharmaceutical global cartel.
00:03:01.320But I promise you that after this episode, your distaste for government, for governance is going to scale to new heights because, OK, let me just bring you up to speed.
00:03:09.840It's long been rumored that Trump would bring Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy into the new government.
00:03:14.300And now that he's won, much of what these two have said publicly about government in general and how they would fix it has grown increasingly relevant.
00:03:23.020So here is Elon Musk. This was just him last month during an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show.
00:03:29.880Well, we just take a look at all the federal agencies and say, do we really need whatever it is, 428 federal agencies?
00:03:40.780Like, if there's so many that people have never even heard of and that have overlapping areas of responsibility, we should, I don't know, probably, we should get, I mean, there are more federal agencies than there are years since the establishment of the United States,
00:03:54.660which means that we've created more than one federal agency per year on average.
00:04:42.900It's just completely absurd to think that government has grown this big.
00:04:47.540And obviously, as government grows big, the individuals grow small because every time you're going to work, you've got to pay these agencies.
00:04:54.760And you're going, what are they doing?
00:04:56.260We can't even get a pothole paved in time.
00:05:02.360And as I said, we're just being taxed into oblivion.
00:05:05.360I mean, what exactly are these agencies doing?
00:05:07.820And this is one of the reasons, by the way, that I got involved, you might recall, very early on with Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign.
00:05:13.480I really liked the fact that he was rich.
00:05:16.220Now, I know that you're probably going, you liked that he was rich.
00:05:18.020Yes, because our minds are so warped about that.
00:05:21.260It is good to have wealthy people running for office because then you know that when you send them to D.C., they're not going there to get rich.
00:06:15.860So the one difference is, first of all, we have a president who I think has the spine to actually step up and do it.
00:06:20.960But the second thing is we actually have a, not to get too, you know, in the weeds here, but we actually have a legal landscape with the current Supreme Court that allows us to do what couldn't have been done in the last half century.
00:06:32.840They have a moral right to work from home 10 hours a week at our expense at a far higher wage than the average American.
00:07:41.660Because if you're listening to this after a long day of work, knowing that basically 45% of whatever it is that you earned is going to go to the government,
00:07:49.940let me tell you, you are about to be big mad because my jaw just hits the floor every time I learned this.
00:07:55.480The more that I learned about what we're spending on.
00:08:00.940According to the Office of Management Budget, the federal government spends more than $1.7 billion a year to maintain 77,000 empty buildings.
00:08:13.480$1.7 billion a year of our hard-earned taxpayer money is because they're like, we just don't want to get rid of these buildings, these 77,000 buildings.
00:08:21.960I guess they want to make sure that they have a real estate empire.
00:08:26.020We also, and you guys probably know this one, U.S. officials testified that $38 million in COVID payments went to people that the United States government absolutely knew were dead.
00:08:48.740I promise you, it's going to get so much worse.
00:08:51.280Then there's just tourism where they just send money and millions.
00:08:55.120For example, the United States Agency for International Development approved sending $6 million to boost tourism in Egypt.
00:09:02.360Most people can't even afford a flight out of the country, but they want to make sure that in the event that you can afford a flight out of the country,
00:09:09.200that you consider maybe going to Egypt.
00:09:47.520That wasn't even enough money because even after getting all that money, they said that they didn't have the correct equipment to drug the puppies.
00:09:54.540So it sent the puppies over to a different laboratory, the same laboratory that had just received $13.5 million to inject monkeys with Ebola and tuberculosis and other deadly viruses.
00:10:29.240In the early 1970s, William Proxmire, a conservative Democrat, pointed out that the National Science Foundation was spending $50,000 to study what makes people fall in love.
00:10:40.860Now, that's a better, I think, topic for Cosmopolitan magazine than it is for a government study.
00:10:48.240We spent a million dollars having young people take selfies of themselves while smiling and then looking at it later in the day to see if looking at pictures of yourself smiling makes you a happier person.
00:11:03.540We spent a million and a half studying the mating call of the Panamanian frog to see if the mating call of the country frogs was different than the city frogs.
00:11:13.020We spent nearly a million dollars studying the Japanese quail to see if they're more sexually promiscuous when they're on cocaine.
00:11:22.660I think we could have just polled the audience on that one.
00:11:47.900Like, just like a total, totally being insane because we're spending millions of dollars to figure out whether or not they are more sexually promiscuous.
00:11:59.680Could you imagine a million dollars spent given to people to take selfies so you could see whether or not after looking at selfies of themselves if they were happier?
00:12:07.500And exactly how are you measuring that happiness?
00:12:12.260Again, why does this always feel like they are just laundering money through organizations to people?
00:12:19.140More bureaucrats, of course, that are under their payroll, probably getting absurd salaries to do these sorts of things.
00:12:26.240Also, maybe dabbling in a little of the cocaine themselves.
00:12:28.840I'm going to guess if you're going to spend millions of dollars on cocaine, maybe the staff is a little hyper that's working on these things.
00:12:36.800It is crazy to consider that these are the things that we spend money on every single year.
00:12:41.460And it's funny, but it's also not when you're in an economy like the one that we have been in for the last four years where people feel like they're getting robbed and they go to the grocery store.
00:12:49.180Like, you get two items and we're like, $1,000, please.
00:12:51.420You're like, I literally have a bag of chips.
00:12:54.600Anyways, so Trump decided to put an end to that and he hired some rich guys to do it.
00:12:59.060Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, like I said, makes total sense because these guys aren't going to go to D.C. to try to make themselves rich.
00:13:04.880In a statement that he delivered on Truth Social, Trump officially named both of them to the newly minted Department of Government Efficiency.
00:13:14.060I'm pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with the American patriot, Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency together.
00:13:22.220These two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies essential to the Save America movement.
00:13:33.720It will become potentially the Manhattan Project of our time.
00:13:37.440It's his last paragraph that's even more impressive because he says at the end of it, their work will conclude no later than July 4th, 2026.
00:13:47.700A smaller government with more efficiency and less bureaucracy will be the perfect gift to America.
00:13:53.800On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I am confident they will succeed.
00:13:59.760Yes, like that just makes me feel so good and patriotic to hear that because this was not our founding father's dream.
00:14:06.880Okay, they understood that taxation was theft.
00:14:09.000And when taxation was introduced, I mean, income tax is theft.
00:14:12.720And it was introduced, it was because, oh, well, it's going to be temporary.
00:14:15.520It's because there's a war and we therefore have to tax you guys so that we can win it.
00:14:20.040And then, of course, they never, ever, ever undo these things.
00:14:22.840They never undo these temporary things that they say are being put into place for our safety or so that we can win a temporary war.
00:14:32.220And so to hear him make that pledge is a major promise made.
00:14:36.800And I have all the faith in the world.
00:14:38.340I don't know Elon Musk, but I have all the faith in the world of Vivek Ramaswamy because I really got to see his vision, his energy, his focus.
00:15:05.000These next two years are going to be fun, you guys.
00:15:07.260All right, pausing really quickly to remind you about pre-born because in many ways, this past election brought abortion to the forefront.
00:15:13.220There are many states that have radicalized abortion and thousands of babies will continue to lose their lives, which is why the Ministry of Pre-Born, the nation's largest pro-life organization, is on the front lines for at-risk babies and mothers who are facing unplanned pregnancies.
00:15:27.500Pre-born's network of clinics are positioned in the highest abortion rate areas in the country, equipping them with the resources they need to save these precious lives and provide compassionate support to mothers for up to two years after birth, all at no cost.
00:15:39.760Pre-born knows that when a woman sees her baby on an ultrasound, she is twice as likely to choose life.
00:15:44.200Because of this, our year-end goal is to sponsor 20,000 ultrasounds, saving over 15,000 babies, so I hope that you will help us reach this goal.
00:15:51.820It costs just $28 to sponsor one ultrasound.
00:15:54.520Any gift, whether large or small, will go towards life, and now pre-born will match your gift, doubling the amount.
00:16:06.520Or you can go to preborn.com slash Candace.
00:16:08.340Again, that is preborn.com slash Candace.
00:16:11.820Okay, this Nick Fuentes story, it's a pretty interesting predicament, so I'll let you know what happened and give you the backstory in the lead up to this activist, feminist activist, showing up at his door.
00:16:22.460Okay, so basically, right after Donald Trump won, there was a lot of trolling, a lot of trolling that happened online.
00:16:32.080I participated, obviously, because it just felt like a major win after the celebrities were all crying and basically just so presumptuous about the way that Americans would vote because Beyonce was here and JLo was here and LeBron said something.
00:16:43.980So we had a little fun in the first 24 hours, and part of this was a lot of men on the right, conservative men, were trolling the left by pretending that all of their worst nightmares were actually coming true.
00:16:54.620My former colleague, Matt Walsh, was one of these men.
00:29:14.940I think it was a tremendously humble moment from Jeff Bezos and The Washington Post for him to say and admit that they have gotten things wrong.
00:29:24.580I can see already now the reporting is kind of changing and they're talking, speaking about podcasting in a more favorable light.
00:29:30.780I actually got good coverage in Vanity Fair or fair coverage, not even good coverage, but fair coverage twice last week in Vanity Fair.
00:29:36.520And I was going, OK, the editors are now trying to turn the page, but it is too late.
00:29:41.740Like Americans no longer trust you and it's completely over, which is why nobody actually cares that Don Lemon is announcing that he's leaving X.
00:30:00.400I loved connecting with all of you on Twitter and then on X for all of these years, but it's time for me to leave the platform.
00:30:09.000I once believed that it was a place for honest debate and discussion, transparency and free speech, but I now feel it does not serve that purpose.
00:30:17.860In addition, starting this Friday, November 15th, X is implementing new terms of service, which, among other things, states that, quote,
00:30:26.540all disputes be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas or state courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, end quote.
00:30:36.540The full terms of service can be found on my written statement or on the X website.
00:30:41.040Now, as The Washington Post recently reported on X's decision to change the terms, this, quote,
00:30:46.640ensures that such lawsuits will be heard in courthouses that are a hub for conservatives,
00:30:51.580which experts say could make it easier for X to shield itself from litigation and punish critics.
00:32:11.380And I think that that comes with some agreements, some quiet agreements.
00:32:16.540And I think that he is getting pressure from people to make good at 100 million dollars.
00:32:22.000And so he's going to have to give them something.
00:32:24.480And, you know, they wanted Mike Pompeo, who, as we showed you yesterday, is one of the most corrupt politicians, former CIA members ever, who's guilty.
00:32:32.260At least believe in what Tucker Carlson is telling you, guilty of trying to plot the murder of someone who he simply had a disagreement with, Julian Assange.
00:32:40.100And so I think they are trying to get the deep state back in there.
00:32:43.660And Trump is fighting it the best way that he knows how with safeguards, safeguard appointments like putting in Matt Gaetz, putting in Tulsi Gabbard, putting in people that he knows actually hate the deep state.
00:32:54.700I mean, Matt Gaetz was a victim of the deep state.
00:33:51.460All right, before I get to some of your comments or rather this last story I want to cover, I'm going to remind you about American Financing because I know that there are so many people that are feeling overwhelmed right now thinking about the upcoming holidays.
00:34:01.540It's hard to think about when everything's more expensive and credit cards are being pushed to the max.
00:34:06.440So now is the time to pay off that debt and get your finances under control before the holiday season.
00:34:11.700So if you are a homeowner, American Financing can help you access the equity in your home for instant savings.
00:34:17.080They are saving homeowners just like you an average of $800 a month.
00:34:20.680And if you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments, giving you an extra holiday fund.
00:34:26.080It costs absolutely nothing to find out how much you could be saving.
00:34:29.040Christmas will be here before you know it.
00:34:30.440So call American Financing Salary-Based Mortgage Consultants today.
00:35:08.560And that is why you are seeing these wolves in government fight the hardest or like animals backed into a corner, realizing that they are they're losing touch with the younger generation and the younger generation is the future.
00:35:20.680Laura Dalton posted this on to YouTube.
00:35:25.900So, I just have a compulsion to make this video because it's been sitting on my mind and hopefully this reaches the right person that I'm trying to target this at.
00:35:35.440I just want to say a huge shout out and a huge thank you to Candace Owens and all of the work that you put in.
00:35:41.220So, I've started listening to your podcast every time you submit a or upload a new video.
00:35:50.700And it's really helped me in so many ways to learn about the reality of our government, especially.
00:35:58.600I've heard about a lot of these things and I've done my own independent research.
00:36:02.360And it's crazy that once you look into what's actually happening behind the scenes, once you just do a little bit of research, you really realize that we are served an image of reality on a cookie platter.
00:37:42.600I know it seems crazy because you have people that have platforms like CNN and MSNBC that are shrieking, but nobody's listening to them anymore.
00:37:51.000She is proof that we are absolutely winning.
00:37:53.040So, be happy, carry that into the day.
00:37:55.920I had to give you something happy to listen to and wholesome after I went through our government spending because I know some of you guys were going, I'm never paying a single dollar in tax ever again.
00:38:21.280Yeah, I mean, that is completely crazy.
00:38:23.860I don't understand how people can genuinely say, you know, Israel has a right to defend itself.
00:38:28.920OK, but can it defend itself without American money?
00:38:31.200Because I'm just so tired of everyone being a welfare recipient and us being told that we're supposed to be OK with this when Americans can't fill up their tanks, can't fill up our gas tanks.
00:38:41.020And our money is being sent overseas so that other people we can't even get secure borders.
00:38:45.200We're like, no, your job is to send money over so that Israel can have secure borders.
00:38:48.980I'm like, what kind of friendship is this?
