EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    ... four, three, two,…

    1. JR

      ... four, three, two, one. Boom, and we're live. Candace Owens, how you doing?

    2. CO

      I'm good. How are you?

    3. JR

      I'm d- I'm very good.

    4. CO

      Yeah.

    5. JR

      Thank you. Thank you for asking. There's a lot of, lot of controversy these days, Candace.

    6. CO

      I guess.

    7. JR

      Little bit?

    8. CO

      In, in the Twitter-verse.

    9. JR

      In the world.

    10. CO

      Yeah.

    11. JR

      Just everybody's, uh, excited about being outraged.

    12. CO

      Yeah, exactly. That's exactly right. There's controversy every five seconds.

    13. JR

      You know, I had a guy on before, the guy that you just met, uh, Dr. Robert Schoch, he's a geologist from Boston University, and he is a, a part of this, uh, backdating of the ancient, uh, the history of Egypt. And they're talking about, you know, all these different structures that might be thousands and thousands of years older than people think they are. And one of the things that he's working on is that there was coronal mass ejections from the sun somewhere around 10,000 years ago that basically killed off a giant percentage of the population on the planet. Lightning storms millions of times greater than anything we've ever experienced before, that literally was like lightning coming down like rain, barbecuing the ground, killing people, people forced into caves, civilization resets. (slaps table) It's almost like we need something like that-

    14. CO

      (laughs)

    15. JR

      ... to really be upset about.

    16. CO

      I know.

    17. JR

      Because instead of being upset about Roseanne or Samantha Bee-

    18. CO

      It's unbelievable, yeah.

    19. JR

      Or, "Samantha Bee used the C-word today."

    20. CO

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      "That naughty girl."

    22. CO

      (laughs) Yes, it's just outrage culture.

    23. JR

      Yeah.

    24. CO

      I say everyone should just wait like 48 hours if everybody hates you and then they'll be on-

    25. JR

      Yeah.

    26. CO

      ... to the next person that they have to hate.

    27. JR

      Yeah, well, that's one of the cool things about the internet, is the-

    28. CO

      Yeah.

    29. JR

      ... the cycle. Boy, it hits you hard, but then it goes back pretty quick.

    30. CO

      Really fast, yes.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      a boxer that came out of, uh, Hartford.

    2. CO

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Big time boxer. Marlon, uh, Marlon Starling. Um, but when you were in high school-

    4. CO

      Right.

    5. JR

      ... somebody started doing this prank call and shit on you. And was this, uh-

    6. CO

      It was all in one night.

    7. JR

      It was all in one night?

    8. CO

      Yeah, it was, like, four voicemails.

    9. JR

      Was this tied to, like, a boyfriend or-

    10. CO

      No, so I was at-

    11. JR

      ... a girl who was jealous?

    12. CO

      ... I was at a boyfriend's house when I got the calls, and I just, like, put it to silent 'cause it was, like, blocked number. So I was like-

    13. JR

      Right.

    14. CO

      ... I didn't think anything of it, and then, like, when I listened to it, like, it was, like, some pretty horrific stuff. Like, I definitely cried, you know? I was 17 years old.

    15. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    16. CO

      Um, and then the next day at school, I took this, like, philosophy class. And, like, I don't know what the topic was. I don't know what prompted me to raise my hand and, like, introduce what had happened last night as, like, you know, a segue. Maybe I just needed to get it off my chest. But, like, the teacher, like, spazzed out and was like, "Get up. We're going to the principal's office." Like, you know, "You have to report this." He brings me into the office, the principal, like, freaked out. Like, she just, like ... The language was like ... You know, it, it was shocking, you know? Um, and then she called, like, the resource officer, and then, like, I ... The next period of my life was like a blackout because it turned out that three of the kids, I had never even met. Like, they ... This was, like, maybe some kids that had their first beer. One of the kids I was, like, friends with, but we were arguing because he was upset that I was, like, spending so much time with my boyfriend.

    17. JR

      Oh, that's what it was.

    18. CO

      But I didn't ... But he, but he's gay. Like, he wa- it wasn't like ... He just was, like, jealou- you know, like, just like I used to hang out with him every day, so I'd hang out with my boyfriend. It was, like, a stupid thing.

    19. JR

      Maybe he wasn't 100% gay.

    20. CO

      Yeah, no, uh, he's a hun- 100% gay.

    21. JR

      (laughs)

    22. CO

      Um, from what I'm told, but, um, yeah, so, uh, then-

    23. JR

      So he just got petty-

    24. CO

      Yeah.

    25. JR

      ... and jealous, and so he started-

    26. CO

      And then he was like, "Here are my three friends, and they ... we're all gonna get drunk and call these-"

    27. JR

      Oh, God.

    28. CO

      "... call this Black girl." And, you know, it's easy to say awful things into, like, this. Like, if you don't have to look at a human being-

    29. JR

      Yeah, right.

    30. CO

      ... like, it's easy to say awful things, but unfortunately, for me, one of the people in the car happened to be the current governor of Connecticut's son.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Might be a point…

    1. CO

      every single woman in the world. Chrissy Teigen's also like a n- Like, she's just, like, angry, like, you know? And just like hate, hate, hate. And then, like, you say one thing about them and, like, they, th- they're like, "How could you even question ... How could you even ask the question if it's because they don't have kids?" And I'm like, "The fact that you guys are so outraged makes me sort of think that, you know-"

    2. JR

      Might be a point there.

    3. CO

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. CO

      A little bit.

    6. JR

      Well, if you didn't-

    7. CO

      And I didn't delete the tweet.

    8. JR

      If you didn't have any point at all, it wouldn't work.

    9. CO

      Right.

    10. JR

      And that way-

    11. CO

      It would just make me stupid.

    12. JR

      ... n- no one gives ... Yeah.

    13. CO

      Yeah.

    14. JR

      No one would be upset at you. They're like, "Look at this person. She doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about."

    15. CO

      And I tweeted that. I was like, "There's gotta be something here-"

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. CO

      "... 'cause you guys are all losing your minds," you know? Like, I, it's so ... Sarah Silverman responded. Kathy Griffin was like ... They went nuts. This was like a full-on, like-

    18. JR

      Well, Kathy Griffin is so happy someone's talking about her. She's like, "Yes!"

    19. CO

      I know. I know. She's like, "Yay!" But she's bizarre, and they've gotten bizarre. And at one point, these people, to me, were funny, and something sort of just happened. And, like, Trump is the w- the means. Like, they ... Whatever they're going through in life, the outlet is Trump and anybody that likes Trump.

    20. JR

      Hmm. Well, people think there's a cultural war going on. There most certainly is.

    21. CO

      There is, for sure.

    22. JR

      But, uh, that, you know ... So they feel like they're on a side and they have to, you know ... They're gonna lob grenades.

    23. CO

      Right.

    24. JR

      They're in the war.

    25. CO

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      And it gives people ... It also gives people a sense of purpose.

    27. CO

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      Like, that engaging in these Twitter fights somehow or another is, like, reinforcing-

    29. CO

      Yeah.

    30. JR

      ... the good behavior and shutting down the bad behavior.

  4. 45:0057:57

    Hm. …

    1. CO

      if, I mean, you wanna talk about s- like smart beyon- like the smartest person I know is Charlie Kirk, hands down. And he's only 24. Um, he didn't, he didn't go to college, just like, I don't know, just, like, was reading weird stuff when he was seven. You know, I don't know, like just-

    2. JR

      Hm.

    3. CO

      ... like things that everyone's like, "Oh yeah, I just read that, Tom has a soul." He's like, "Yes, I read it when I was six." You know? I'm like, "What?"

    4. JR

      (laughs)

    5. CO

      I'm like, "Charlie, could you not say that? Could you be cool?" But so, um, uh, when, when Charlie and I met and I, like, I told him, like, my plan to sort of help Black America and to wake them up, 'cause I understood how we had fallen victim to this brainwash. There was-

    6. JR

      What br- what brainwash is that?

    7. CO

      The, the, the leftist dogma, just this idea that because we're Black, we have to vote Democrat and anybody that is not a Democrat is racist and against helping us. That is, like, what so many Black Americans believe. I believed it. I believed it, you know what I mean? So, and I'm a b- I'm a pretty smart girl, you know? I've always been a very smart girl. I've alwa- I've always been, you know, I've excelled, um, in, in academics, right? So how did I fall victim to it? The exact same system, right? These three verticals, the first being the family, the breakdown of the family. The second one, um, being culture, which then, uh, to me, like, growing up, it was like Jay-Z. Like Jay-Z was god to me. Like I, like would throw on, like I was, you know, I went through a lot of stuff when I was a kid. I didn't have a great family. Um, you know, um, but I would throw on a Jay-Z album and like whatever he said was like, it was like going to church, you know? Um, and then ... um, and I can't stand him now. But the third vertical-

    8. JR

      You can't stand him now?

    9. CO

      No, because he, he knows exactly what he's doing and he's a traitor. But the third vertical being education, which was-

    10. JR

      What a casual aside.

    11. CO

      (laughs)

    12. JR

      He's a traitor.

    13. CO

      Yeah. Yeah, it's like m- like Beyoncé and Jay-Z I'm just like-

    14. JR

      How is he a traitor?

    15. CO

      Because he knows what's happening to Black America and he's somebody that built his entire career off the backs of Black America. You know, of being the guy who started in the hood in, in, in, um, you know, Queens and worked his ... you know, was a drug dealer and worked his way up and he became the idol for so many people in Black America. And then he stands on stage and endorses Hillary Clinton. He stands on stage and tells Black America to put the same people in, in the White House that locked up more Black men than any president in the history of the United States, Bill Clinton. Right? The person that stands on the crime bill of '94 is Bill Clinton. But because Jay-Z is now focused on getting a piece of the pie, the globalist piece of the pie, he doesn't care about Black America. Um, that's, that's my opinion. Um, so what-

    16. JR

      Do you think that's what it was or do you think that maybe he thought that Donald Trump represented a lot of racist white people?

    17. CO

      No. (laughs)

    18. JR

      And he didn't want that in office?

    19. CO

      Oh, god, no. Oh god, no.

    20. JR

      You don't think so?

    21. CO

      Not even kind of.

    22. JR

      No?

    23. CO

      Not for a s-

    24. JR

      You don't think he, he felt that?

    25. CO

      Not for a single second.

    26. JR

      How do you know?

    27. CO

      J- because Jay-Z's very smart.

    28. JR

      Did you speak to him?

    29. CO

      No, I didn't speak to him. I just, I know. Like I t- it's, uh, there's a, it's a certain thing where like I just, I know that Jay-Z and Beyoncé betrayed the Black community. Like they're, they are-

    30. JR

      So you think they did it purposely for financial gain?
