Candace breaks down the Kamala's loss to Donald Trump in the Democratic primary, and why she's now officially out of the running for president. She also explains why she should have been the first woman of color to run for president in the first African-American woman's primary in the country s first primary in decades. Candace also gives her thoughts on why she thinks it's a good thing that she's not running for President in 2020 and why we should be thankful that she didn't run for President again. Candace is joined by her husband Jermaine Dupri, who is also a former presidential candidate, to discuss why she believes she should be the next president and what she's going to do now that she s lost the election. She also talks about why she doesn't think she'll ever run again and why it's time to go back to two genders. And she gives her take on what she thinks was a very disappointing performance by her opponent, Sen. Kamala. Kamala herself, and her response to the results of the primary and what we should do next.

00:00:00.000All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm back in Tennessee. Happy hump day, Trump day. We did it, Joe. We made Kamala Indian again. We can set our clocks back to two genders again. And let me just say this right at the top here. The following is not suited for all advertisers. This is not going to be an E rating for everyone to watch this podcast. I know that there are some people out there that are immediately calling for unity.
00:00:22.280I hear your calls and I've decided to send them all to voicemail for the next hour because we are going to have some fun. We are going to unburden ourselves from what has been. So welcome back to Candace.
00:00:32.740Happy Janet Jackson Day. That's what I want to say. Happy Janet Jackson Day. When you see a Janet Jackson, you better thank a Janet Jackson. You better thank a Janet Jackson.
00:00:56.360I mean, is it weird that I'm also kind of partly sad a little bit, like just a tiny bit sad? I said to my team, where do we go from here? Who are we? Who am I? I don't know who I am. 42 million downloads across 24 episodes of the Kamala Chronicles. That is not a joke. 42 million downloads we had.
00:01:14.700You guys were listening. You were sharing. And I just don't know how I'm going to exist outside of just like, you know, wanting to know who she is and getting to the bottom of it. And suddenly her genealogy is completely irrelevant. I'm sad. I'm sad. I hope Trump makes her an assistant or something so I can still keep looking into it.
00:01:33.220Look, we already know what the media talking points are going to be, what the media talking points are about her loss. It's because she's a woman. It's because she's a woman of color. And I just want to stop everybody right there.
00:01:44.760OK, because what did America actually vote no to? OK, well, we voted no to Hollywood, voted no to race baiting. We voted no to sex baiting. We voted no to the my body, my choice, bizarre, public, satanic ritual that it became of women pretending that the only thing that we have ever cared about, the only thing that has ever mattered has been our right to murder our own offspring.
00:02:09.880I mean, that got weird. And I say this as somebody who's actually quite harsh on conservatives on the topic of pro-choice versus pro-life, because, look, there's a ton of women who, like me, when I was pro-choice, you grow up in high school and you learn that it's a clump of cells. Right.
00:02:22.860And so you think it's the science that you're learning. You trust the science and they tell you it's the responsible thing to do. And I don't think the average woman is doing this because they like get off on murder. You know what I mean?
00:02:32.280But Democrats completely moved away from the concept of pro-choice. I mean, this campaign, make no mistake, it was pro-death, pro-death. They were just like, no, we absolutely have to be able to abort our children in the womb. They were celebrating that. And beyond that, what did they what did they run on?
00:02:48.160What was the platform? It really was just abortion and black men needing to behave like black men because Obama came down. He I guess he left Martha's Vineyard and had to remind the brothers, the brothers about what you have to be doing. And the brothers just weren't here for it.
00:03:07.780So, yes, it is true. Kamala has formally conceded the race about an hour ago. And I will say I thought that it was a well-written speech by whoever wrote that speech, because obviously it's some invisible speechwriter.
00:03:19.420It was not written by Kamala, but she delivered it well, because what Kamala is good at is just reading a teleprompter. It's the one thing that Joe Biden was actually very bad at.
00:03:28.320They should have just, you know, swapped a little bit there. Kamala is good at reading the prompter and not having to think.
00:03:34.260And she failed when she had the thing. People were asking her questions. She she doesn't have her own thoughts.
00:03:39.680She doesn't she can do nothing but deliver somebody else's thoughts.
00:03:43.880And so I thought relative to everything she's on this election cycle with trying to speak and present her own thoughts.
00:03:49.600This was actually a pretty good concessant speech. I am going to show you this part of it. Take a listen.
00:03:54.940And I'll close with this. There's an adage and historian once called a law of history.
00:04:03.240True of every society across the ages. The adage is only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.
00:04:16.800I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time.
00:04:23.260But for the benefit of us all. I hope that is not the case.
00:04:29.400But here's the thing. America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant, brilliant billion of stars.
00:04:40.760The light. The light. The light of optimism, of faith, of truth, and service.
00:04:53.820And may that work guide us even in the face of setbacks toward the extraordinary promise of the United States of America.
00:05:22.520I thank you all. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.
00:05:32.180OK. Gay, fake, fake and gay, but fine, acceptable.
00:05:36.160I'm happy for her to come out and do her thing, to say something to her supporters who are existing under some delusion that Kamala ran some great campaign.
00:05:43.200And there's been this great injustice that's happened because she didn't win the election.
00:05:48.060I want to be very clear here. Kamala ran a terrible campaign. In fact, Kamala didn't even run a campaign.
00:05:54.020The true story here, the true story of this election and the story of her life is it's been one long coronation for Kamala Harris.
00:06:02.900OK, she slept with the right person, Willie Brown, and then she got on the right boards and got the right jobs when she was in San Francisco.
00:06:09.340Again, that's not coming from me. It's not me being petty. You can go back and you can read their articles.
00:06:14.080That is just the reality of what San Francisco was writing about.
00:06:17.260All the journalists were basically saying, who is this woman?
00:06:19.760Why is she being allowed to be a part of any political process when all she's done is slept with a powerful man?
00:06:24.860OK. And then what happened here is her party staged a coup.
00:06:28.440That's what happened this year. Her party staged a coup against an ailing elderly man.
00:06:32.660And credit to Hillary Clinton, by the way, I don't even know how she kept it within herself to pretend to support Kamala because Hillary Clinton, for better or worse, she actually did run.
00:06:42.700She ran a campaign and she lost. And yes, she was arrogant and she never foresaw the possibility that she could lose.
00:06:50.040Hence, this amazing tweet that we must always unearth Hillary Clinton tweeted to herself before the election back in 2016 at 8.03 a.m. on October 26th.
00:06:59.700Hillary Clinton tweeted, happy birthday to this future president.
00:07:04.620So much happening here. Who even tweets a happy birthday to themselves beyond that, just being like, I'm going to be the president.
00:07:10.820Like, yes, she was arrogant. But as I said, she actually ran and she actually lost and she was able to hold a conversation.
00:07:19.160She understood the policies. She had been obviously the first lady under Bill Clinton and she had something to say.
00:07:26.880So you could see people rallied around. Maybe this is going to be the candidate. Kamala didn't do any of that.
00:07:31.920She was coronated and then she barely ran for just 107 days.
00:07:36.300Like she actually says that in her concession speech. 107 days.
00:07:39.420We did this just 107 days, three months. That's it. It's utterly unheard of.
00:07:44.320And she looked tired. She looked annoyed that she was even being required to do anything for that long.
00:07:50.080She was lazy. She was even too lazy to just be herself.
00:07:54.540I mean, she plagiarized Barry Satoro's playbook. It was the exact same game.
00:07:58.240She was like, oh, Obama did it. I'll just do it. I'm going to publish this fake book.
00:08:00.940Let me post up with my fake grandma. Here's me and my grandma Beryl.
00:08:03.840And then things began to unravel. Honestly, if I'm being completely honest here, the only thing, the singular thing that was indeed unfair to Kamala Harris was that she came after Joe Biden's election in 2020.
00:08:18.080Because let me show you this chart. It's an amazing chart. Right.
00:08:20.980So that's 2012 election. What you're seeing right here that's being represented on the Y-axis is just votes in the millions.
00:08:30.280In 2012, in blue and Democrats, 65 million votes. In 2016, 65 million votes. Just now for Kamala Harris, 65 million votes in 2024.
00:08:39.120Look at 2020. Just 80 million votes. It's never happened before.
00:08:44.920It's never happened before. But somehow the Democrats just increased their margins by 15 million votes.
00:08:52.200Not for Barack Obama. Not for Barack Obama. For Joe Biden.
00:08:57.940So we know what happened was they they cheated in 2020. And I feel badly.
00:09:01.680It's unfair for her that the story is going to be that she somehow lost a ton of votes votes.
00:09:06.220When in reality, what happened in 2020 is that Joe Biden found a ton of votes in the form of mail in ballots.
00:09:11.840And that's why we just were not accepting those election results. In my opinion, Trump actually won three times.
00:09:17.120So, yeah, we did it. I'm proud of us. Today is our Super Bowl parade.
00:09:21.040We're allowed to laugh at the things that people are doing online.
00:09:25.340In fact, I would like to take this noble moment to show you this young woman on TikTok, because I think she speaks for really all liberals and celebrities today.
00:09:36.460She just needs a doctor. I don't know what to say. That is just amazing. It's happening all over the Internet.
00:10:02.060They are deeply upset that we did it. And in terms of the listeners on this show, what we accomplished here, no doubt, is that we made Kamala Indian again, which is why we are selling the hats on ClubCandice.com.
00:10:13.340Made Kamala Indian again. We could not have done it without you guys.
00:10:17.040All right. Let me tell you about Good Ranchers really quickly.
00:10:18.700Every year during Thanksgiving, there was a classic debate of is turkey or ham better?
00:10:22.940If you picked either, you'd be wrong, because the third and correct option is a free ham from Good Ranchers is the answer.

00:11:51.100I was not going to make the mistake of what I did in 2020 and fall asleep and wake up and find the election results dramatically transformed.
00:11:58.160And Chank, in case you're not aware of him, you're not aware of the Young Turks, like my story with the Young Turks is just very weird.
00:12:01.780From the time I appeared on the scene before I was even really well known, they just made consistent video after video after video of me basically saying that I'm not black because I don't vote Democrat.
00:12:10.720I mean, crazy stuff. And he's generally speaking a very angry man and intent on telling to people that Trump is Hitler.
00:12:20.540And the people that support him are this and that.
00:12:22.320And so to have this opportunity, because PBD has a very far reaching audience and tons of friends and Chank, he counts amongst his friends left and right.
00:25:36.820Like first, when he was running, he was like, lock her up.
00:25:38.400And then he was like, I'm going to let it all go.
00:25:39.840And then what they did when they got power is they let nothing go and they went after him for four years.
00:25:44.020And I just don't want Trump to forget that.
00:25:46.240I really do want him to recognize what has happened and to realize that that threat is not going to go away for the American people.
00:25:52.660He has to go after these corrupt people that he just absolutely must go after them with the same exact energy that they came after him with.
