00:00:00.000 we've got candace malcolm on the line candace is a journalist she founded juno news and true north
00:00:11.780 media and uh well she's been posting she's been very busy online she's also a mom of four kids
00:00:18.720 by the way candace welcome to the show great to be here mark thanks for having me just reading
00:00:25.840 your post this morning it isn't just rachel gilmore and cult montreal it's the entire canadian media
00:00:33.940 establishment they are bigots they hate christians they loathe conservatives i think this is probably
00:00:39.940 the hardest hitting thing i've seen from you in the way of posts or you want to say they promote hate
00:00:46.300 and lies about us they exist in the illiberal woke fringes of society where our words are violent
00:00:54.420 and their violence is justified they ignore the cold-blooded assassin a fellow traveler fueled
00:01:02.340 by their cultish ideology and focus on our grief calling peaceful vigils anger and celebrations of
00:01:11.320 charlie's life and legacy vengeance the canadian media establishment is the most serious threat to
00:01:17.380 our country and our future we cannot stop until every canadian knows this truth and sees the light
00:01:22.920 you were responding to a ctv story with this headline right-wing anger surges as kirk's
00:01:30.760 killing fuels calls for vengeance it's just to me it was almost laughable when i read that
00:01:36.820 um maybe you could talk a little bit about what prompted you i mean obviously you have strong
00:01:41.420 feelings around this candace so maybe you could talk about why you feel as strongly as you do
00:01:45.960 well uh thanks for having me on to talk about this uh mark you know the the assassination the
00:01:53.840 political assassination of charlie kirk uh was was a moment for us all to pause i mean we witnessed
00:02:00.700 something really incredible right this is the first political assassination in some 40 years
00:02:05.200 in america uh they killed the leader of a generation right charlie kirk was 31 years old
00:02:11.920 and he spoke for millions and millions of americans and they killed him in cold blood right and while
00:02:18.080 charlie was still struggling for life while he was still fighting for his life the cbc published an
00:02:23.720 article of charlie kirk's most controversial takes right and so the implication of that is what
00:02:29.840 that charlie deserved it right that charlie was right wing he was far right all of the things that
00:02:36.000 the legacy media say about conservatives right that were fascists that were nazis that were racists
00:02:41.680 uh they they went right into their schtick to somehow justify the cold-blooded murder of a
00:02:47.900 young father and the voice of a generation so for many canadians many conservatives many christians
00:02:53.960 we saw that as an eye-opening moment right it's like this is what they do they point to
00:03:01.120 conservatives mainstream people with mainstream views charlie kirk was an open-minded fellow right he
00:03:06.760 was strongly it held his convictions but he went and he debated with people and he sometimes changed
00:03:12.640 his minds on things right he was open to debate that is the core function of a liberal democracy
00:03:17.920 right the ability to have free speech and so when you have these media outlets that are doubling down
00:03:24.200 on this schtick that they do that there's some there's somehow something wrong with being conservative
00:03:29.320 with loving your country with loving god with wanting to get married and have children
00:03:33.180 it's perverse and so i i had to call it out right it's not just it's not just rachel gilmore and cult
00:03:39.680 montreal who caused a lot of attention last week with their despicable takes about charlie and his
00:03:46.280 assassination and i was just pointing out that it's broader than that right it's also ctv and cbc and
00:03:52.860 the golden mail and mainstream journalists like andrew coin and paul wells who are sitting there
00:03:58.560 like somehow trying to take away from charlie's legacy somehow say that because he was conservative
00:04:04.200 he deserved to be assassinated i think this is a big wake-up call for many of us um that we're not
00:04:10.600 going to put up with it i personally mark i'm not going to put up with having the globe and mail
00:04:14.280 call me far right for no reason right when you call me a fascist you put a target on my back just
00:04:19.440 like they did for charlie they called him a fascist over and over and over again until some far-left
00:04:24.300 lunatic finally listened and decided to shoot him and we can't put up with this anymore we have to
00:04:30.180 call it out we have to push back at the woke media who insist on pushing this lie that there is
00:04:37.820 something evil about conservatives yeah i mean they doubled down essentially after the shooting on the
00:04:45.680 very things that may have prompted it was served as a pretext to the murderer to begin with the killer
00:04:54.060 i mean uh to the very things that have been feeding into this bloodlust by radical leftists
00:05:01.080 people who are obviously triggered to the point of resorting to extreme violence against people with
00:05:07.660 whom they disagree you have the cbc have mainstream media in this country doubling down and saying well
00:05:13.780 yeah this is what uh charlie kirk said and you know the extrapolation is he had it coming and so
00:05:22.120 yeah good for you but i do have to ask you what does it mean not to take it anymore because this is
00:05:27.460 also this also came out on jesse waters show and jack posobik and others other conservatives this is
00:05:34.360 the mantra is we're you know we should have done something sooner which is what jesse waters said
00:05:39.980 yesterday but now we're not taking it anymore could you put some flesh on the bones like what do you mean
00:05:47.120 not take it anymore well i'm not going to sit here quietly and have ctv pretend that the biggest
00:05:57.380 concern the biggest issue in the country is right-wing anger yes conservatives are angry we are rightfully
00:06:02.780 angry because the left is resorting to political violence for years and years and years mainstream
00:06:08.840 media voices woke people in the media right we we pretend that they're mainstream there's nothing
00:06:14.020 mainstream about the media but they will sit here and they will lie about us and they will smear us
00:06:19.220 and they will say that our views are violent right our words are violence and that somehow justifies
00:06:24.800 violence against us so when i say we're not taking it anymore i'm not going to sit quietly i'm not going
00:06:29.240 to just say you know what i'm not going to read the globe and mail so it doesn't matter what they say
00:06:32.860 no i'm going to take it seriously when they when they call me far right when they call me a fascist when
00:06:38.060 they try to link me to fascism which happens mark as you well know this happens to all conservatives right
00:06:42.560 google pier polio and the word fascism and see how many references to fascism come up in articles
00:06:49.140 written about pier polio that is reckless it is irresponsible and it needs to stop and so you know
00:06:55.760 how can we stop it well we can replace our institutions we can build better media companies
00:06:59.640 than they can we can fight back against the indoctrination that's happening university campuses
00:07:04.700 that is exactly what charlie is doing i believe is the legacy will eclipse anything he did in his lifetime
00:07:10.160 i think that more young people will find charlie kirk they'll see his videos they'll seek out the
00:07:14.520 truth right because the cbc again moments after he was killed they were out there saying that he called
00:07:20.080 for execution against gays which is absolute utter nonsense completely taking out of context ridiculous
00:07:27.560 smears against him right so we can't sit quietly and allow them to continue to push this libelous
00:07:34.400 nonsense we have to fight back i will personally be doing that by doubling down my efforts to build
00:07:39.200 the biggest media company in the country to replace the cbc by offering common sense perspective
00:07:44.480 to people who are sick and tired of it and by pointing out again it's not just like the woke left
00:07:50.260 like a few fringe reporters people like rachel gilmore who you pretend to be the victim and make the story
00:07:56.120 about themselves while pushing a very very illiberal far left woke worldview and then you know she's not out
00:08:04.120 on the fringe actually she holds the same views as most if not many of the reporters in the country
00:08:09.300 even people who are not a pain journalist who are just writing the news it's always infused with the
00:08:14.400 woke ideology so we're going to build something bigger we're going to build something better i believe
00:08:18.260 that charlie's legacy will live on and will continue to grow will continue to impact people around the
00:08:24.180 world i don't know if you saw mark but there was a vigil in calgary yesterday and it was absolutely
00:08:30.280 huge right there was a concert a country music concert out in edmonton edmonton's a pretty liberal
00:08:35.040 city um and yet they held a moment of silence for charlie kirk and when the country singer uh invoked
00:08:40.800 uh praying for the kirk family the entire audience pulled out their phones it was a beautiful moment
00:08:45.740 of coming together over charlie kirk's memory and legacy so i think there is a bit of a turning point
00:08:54.000 happening where you realize that charlie kirk was a mainstream thinker right his views and his beliefs
00:09:00.740 were based yes he's a religious man they're based on the bible but you know this is what charlie would
00:09:05.540 say our whole civilization is based on the bible all the laws all the rules all the morals and values
00:09:10.320 come from the bible um so it's worth realizing you know where they came from and i think that there
00:09:15.800 will be a revival it's already happening um you know people are more interested in him in death than
00:09:21.440 they were in life and this movement will continue to grow i think we are reaching a turning point
00:09:25.600 where we just don't want to have left infused politics being shoved down our coast all the time
00:09:31.460 people are realizing how sick it is that people on the left are congratulating and cheering on the
00:09:37.760 political assassination of someone just because they didn't agree with some of his positions i mean
00:09:42.240 that again that's that's an attack on the very heart of our civilization our civilization is basically
00:09:47.960 the idea that we can have free and open discourse when you kill someone you shoot them in the
00:09:51.240 neck um it's very symbolic taking away their voice um that is an act of war against our civilization
00:09:56.420 everyone should condemn that and you can't find the will to condemn them there's something wrong with
00:10:00.520 you and again i think this is just exposing how really radical not just the left is but how much
00:10:06.940 it's crept into the mainstream and we see that in the way that ctv cbc and the global mail have been
00:10:12.200 reporting on this yeah i couldn't agree more and it's really evidenced by that headline that i read
00:10:17.360 earlier that's absolute madness and um yeah i mean people are going to have to look at look at
00:10:24.260 themselves and and ask very seriously whether or not the political extremists are on the left i mean
00:10:31.900 it's so often the case where they accuse others of being extremists when in fact what we're seeing is
00:10:37.180 extremism dangerous extremism on on the left we're seeing it evidence now and then they come out now
00:10:44.820 some of the people on the left are saying well you know let's let's bring down the temperature
00:10:49.420 you know let's let's cool things down you know everybody's to blame you know it's both it's both
00:10:54.960 sides here you know they both need to tamp and tamp things down i'm going it's not both sides you know
00:11:01.200 it's your side that's why we are where we are and so the idea that they can now take the high road
00:11:07.780 i'm not buying it last word to you candace well i i mean i hate to do this but i'm going to anyway
00:11:15.500 imagine for a second that one of my listeners or one of your listeners assassinated the most powerful
00:11:22.720 political figure on the left right imagine if they killed somebody like aoc or somebody like
00:11:28.800 justin trudeau and imagine if my immediate reaction was oh um i i can't i can't i can't i'm worried
00:11:36.480 about the reaction of the left right or here are some justin trudeau's most controversial takes right
00:11:42.100 that would be outrageous right it would be wrong and i would never do that right but that is what
00:11:48.020 they did they killed our most powerful most effective leader and before he had even been
00:11:53.960 pronounced dead the left were already promoting and saying look at his controversial takes and saying
00:11:59.940 you know um aren't you worried about right-wing anger and right-wing violence now it's like no we
00:12:05.560 have to stop for a moment and recognize what happened a right-wing leader was murdered by a
00:12:11.300 left-wing radical and part of the reason was because the media spent a decade or more calling him a fascist
00:12:17.500 and not so he needs to stop and i appreciate having me on the show um obviously we should all condemn all
00:12:22.820 violence and we should recognize that the the the political violence in this country and in north
00:12:30.460 america is primarily happening on the left side it's not happening on the right side regardless of the
00:12:35.200 lies that the legacy media is pushing how do people support and consume the media that you uh the produce
