Join: https://utm.io/uda9Mjoined by candace owens candace you're our newest colleague here at the daily wire we're excited to have you my first question is i know you've only been here for a few days but who's your favorite co-worker here at daily wire that is a really good question um i'm going to have to go ahead and say the makeup artists as long as you didn't say michael knowles one of the other hosts that's right that's what i was worried about uh how do you say you just you got to tennessee i talked to you all fair last week and you were talking about your your experience driving here with a baby um and yeah i did that with four kids so i know a little bit about that you've been to texas have you assimilated into the culture yet i mean the pickup truck the uh cowboy boots and all that have you done that yeah absolutely so that was actually the first day second day at tennessee my husband was like we're doing two things we're going to the gun shop and we're going to go buy a pair of cowboy boots gun shop didn't go well because we still have our dc driver's license so you have to have a tennessee license to buy a gun so we still have to wait for that but it wasn't difficult to assimilate into the culture because i think actually that was my culture like i'm conservative right so i was actually a fish out of water living in dc here i'm like this is great everybody thinks like me so um it's been awesome i'm just happy to be in the south it feels like this is where people are saying and i mean i'm i guess you can't really because you weren't in la but daily wire was in los angeles and it really is the land of a living dead when you're doing la in new york and dc yeah i was living in pennsylvania uh you had accused me of living in canada so that was you'd spread a rumor online that i lived in canada internet spread that rumor and i believed it the internet spread it because you said it no no it was it was q anon stuff it was like matt walsh lives in canada and i and i fell for it i don't know internet's a dangerous place to this day the worst insult anyone has ever leveled at music being a canadian so i want to talk about your show we'll talk about your show in a minute but first just to go over some of the stuff happening in the news um i want to get your thoughts on a few of it uh i i guess we have to begin with the royal family because that's what everyone's talking about i know you've been i've been very vocal you've been on top of it so i have two questions um and and the first one is is a serious question because i really i'm hoping you can shed some light on this why does anyone care about these god-awful people so we'll start with that why do you think people care that much so i have to say i never had an appreciation for the royals right it's just it's something that americans don't really jive with it never made sense to me uh but i fell in love and married an englishman right and uh so i kind of learned to appreciate the significance of the queen and really understanding that there has been there's been something in their country that has remained solid and has not changed over time difficult for americans to comprehend because we are we don't really do tradition we're kind of like tear it down old building turn it down tear it down build something new tear it down build something new um so that's the reason i think people follow the royals now i i don't care at all for the harry and megan thing except for the political undertones of somebody saying i'm not liked therefore it's because i'm 25 black like that that stuff bothers me whether it's or you know we're talking about democrats saying it we see that pollution all throughout hollywood so this hollywood star going into a country that really sort of loves its traditions uh and then accusing them of being fundamentally racist it's just like let's keep the american bs race narrative at least within within the bounds of america let's not extend it overseas to europe because they have a different culture there they've been around much longer you know england never had slaves in its country and by the way in terms of worldwide slavery the english men were the first to abolish it so she she's sort of relying on american ignorance and the race obsession in america and extending it extending it overseas it's just it's really bothersome so do you think uh the american media running to meghan markle's defense do you think part of that is there how they detest tradition in general and so they they don't like the royal family for that reason yeah i mean think about where we are right now in america like right that is sort of this like cultural marxist everything that is from yesterday is wrong needs to be tore down everything about america is wrong we got to get rid of christopher columbus dr seuss is racist uh you know so we are just obsessed with thinking that everything from the past is wrong and sure there were elements of the past that were definitely wrong but in many ways we've thrown out the baby with the with the bath water and um england is just a different place right i mean their population it's there's only three percent black people in england it's a remarkably you know compared to america a very small country um and so it just sends it's just it's so ignorant it's it's just the height of ignorance to me uh to have this d-list actress that nobody knew go over there not her race is not discernible by the eye you if she walked in you would never say meghan markle is a black woman right and then she says her son who if you've seen a picture of and you think that he has faced um anti-black racism in his life then i'm a nigerian prince and i have you know an account that you can give you can send some money into um it's just it's just it's it's frustrating i think we're just tired of the race narrative here in america and it's just obnoxious that we sent this girl over here to start to start the same thing overseas yeah i i'm glad you mentioned that you said 25 black right is that is that the actual uh megan is le megan is less than 50 black her mother is half black yes she's 25 less than 25 black yeah yeah because i had the same experience when we first started hearing about her and we heard that this racism against a black woman my first experience was that she's is she a black woman yeah exactly so it does make a little bit hard to believe but it does it i think doesn't it tell you something about the way the victimhood hierarchy works on the left and it's a really confusing intersectionality as you know is very confusing but the reason why this woman is able to make a victim of herself even though she's fabulously wealthy and she's in her 18 000 square foot mansion you know and she's got her netflix deals and everything and she's sitting on a patio more expensive than my house and talking to oprah and all that she's still the victim right um because she's less white than the other ones right and so that it's all about the intersectionality yeah it's ridiculous and it's the same thing i say to my husband so we i now have a half black half white son and i always say to my husband is he half privilege or half a press like what is he oppressed or privileged you know this is sort of the weird thing and it she never throughout her life she never presented as black it wasn't like she was playing black characters who wanted people to identify her as black but it became convenient for her when she realized okay the entire united kingdom hates me i'm not a very likable person and the elements that they hated about her are the elements that i think conservatives say about hollywood right where she just wanted to be the center of attention at all times and she couldn't respect tradition and then she goes around and says okay well how can i make the american press love me since i've been sort of chased out of the country because no one likes me there and the obvious thing for her was i'm in hollywood so i'm gonna take you know the race narrative and it's just pathetic you know you're wealthy by the way even if you weren't sometimes in life people don't like you i know google my name you know what i'm saying i've got tons of hit pieces against me i've never once read those hit pieces and said well it's clear they don't like me because i'm black you know sometimes people don't like you deal with it how do you with a victimhood hierarchy because i'm always fascinated by this we know that she can put herself on it for the for the racial issue but who are i can never quite figure out on the left who are the uber victims who's at the top of the hierarchy i think it's probably lgbt trans is it is that what it is but it seems to change depending on who who the person is yeah it's weird so the trans stuff what i've noticed is it does seem like okay they are the biggest victims but that's actually not true because black americans by and large do not support the trans agenda that's actually being pushed by wealthy white people um so it's it's very interesting to try to discern even now when you see like a big race scandal and you'll be like oh this person was canceled because they were racist most of the time it's white people that are canceling people it's not black people that are up in arms like black people did not go up in arms about dr seuss that was literally created by by white people who are now wielding the the race sword and being like ah you must go morgan wallin scandal black people were like completely out of the morgan is right i mean so they're like so this is actually white people being empowered and using race as a tool and white people establishing that the trans agenda is now their new frontier of oppression so um no i don't think that i think black is peak peak victim and if black americans were like cut this out with the trans stuff they would have to sort of cut it out um uh but yeah it's interesting because really the question is is who's deciding on these cancellations and these victimhoods it ends up being if you follow it wealthy white corporations and of course you add in the political ideology part of it because by that equation you should be able to claim victory but you can't because you're actually at the bottom right because even though you're a black woman you're conservative so right you're like you become the uber villain but also what's magical about it though is they don't know how to defeat me because in order to defeat me they'd have to go against their own rules right so they've decided that being a black woman like i'm at the top of the progressive stack right like black women need to find their voices like megan in her interview i guess said um something about like i always felt like the little mermaid who fell in love with the prince and lost her voice which is just one of the most realistic she actually said that you see what i mean like it just makes you cringe and it makes you angry you're just like hollywood you're right is your mermaid and it's like no like you found a wealthy guy that could help you climb a ladder because you were a d-list actress the end you won great walk away into the into the sunset and be happy um but yeah it's it's interesting you don't know how to attack me don't you find that you get even more hate than let's say i would as a white man oh yeah because not only you're saying unpopular things but also there's this element of you're betraying the left thinks that they should that you belong to them right right so they get very frustrated because it's like they they assumed all this power by creating these sort of victimhood channels and one of those things was black women are always victims when a black woman denies being a victim and says you know i i don't want to take the victim card i don't believe in the black card um i feel remarkably privileged in this country to be an american living and breathing at this time you are you are privileged they just go oh because now they don't know how to defeat me without being racist themselves right because attacking a black woman is fundamentally racist so they just want me to go away and they don't know how to make that happen we were talking about the trans thing a second ago gender i've noticed it seems like correct me from wrong but it seems like you're in recent months you've been focusing especially on on gender issues yeah going back to the infamous harry styles your your controversial opinion that you don't think men should wear dresses i don't know how you could possibly say such a thing uh but so there's that and then there's the women the men in sports and all those sorts of things i think that the gender issues have been i've been saying for years that this is one of the central battlefields of the culture war it's time for conservatives to wake up to it and start engaging this is not a sideshow uh it felt for for so long the conservatives said well yeah this is a fad it'll go away it's not so what am i correct that you've been focusing on this more and if so why why is this important do you think so i actually haven't been focusing on it more it's just that it's kind of finally come to fruition uh which you you know you predicted i predicted it so three years ago when i was first speaking out i was like watch this because this is something that you think oh oh it's less than one percent of the population it's you know it's not going to ever be a thing and i was like i just kind of saw it kind of brewing and i had done tons of episodes on my show my previous shows talking about it when i was sitting in college campuses i was talking about it and then it feels like sort of in the last six months they sort of became really obsessed with now even calling a woman a woman is wrong right like even trying to say in all of these terms womanx how do you even say it womex women's womenics mixing mixing we're mixing mixing we'll mix in yes right i also thought i thought it was le tinx but i'm told that it's a latin x no let's go with the tanks right and which is hilarious because if you ever use the word latinx it's the easiest way to discern that someone is not actually latino or latina because they'd have to do away with the entire language everything is a gender in spanish la mesa that's table like it's like boy or girl for everything um but yeah so i just saw it coming and i wanted to really assert myself on that issue because it is i mean it is just the greatest undoing trying to you get to a destroy families weaken society i mean you can do everything through the transgender movement that the left is really after which is just chaos um so yeah i just spoke out against it and i will say this like i said earlier it is the one issue that black americans are the most uncomfortable with and so i have not you know i've seen black americans across both sides of the political spectrum say okay i'm this she's 100 right which makes sense because if you pull black america in terms of their politics they've never been big supporters of the lgbtq art yeah whatever it is i just say the whole alphabet but you say that black americans don't support this and i've i've heard that before but you don't hear that that voice the voice is heard through you but it's not they don't they don't have very many um outlets to express that i mean blm for example is at least before they scrub their their page that you know laid out their whole agenda the stuff about tearing down the families yeah families they took a lot of that stuff off but before they took that stuff off you read it and you thought well this is just a this is an lgbt group this is not there's very little here even about race it's mostly about trans and um so is that uh why don't we hear that expressed more i mean is it yeah you know i think you do it's just not given it's not given air so like i definitely have heard charlemagne the god right on the breakfast club talk about various political issues and he will always give they will always side on the candace is right on this one you know and and definitely throughout the harry styles thing actually it was the first time black twitter ever came to my defense by the way as they call it hashtag black twitter um because you know noah cyrus miley cyrus apparently has a little sister and she jumped in to defend harry styles and in the process called me like a nappy-headed hoe and then it kind of went viral on instagram and they were all talking about the issues saying that this is this is just not something we accept but the media won't cover it so it sort of exists in this bubble on social media whereas i i know you speak to black americans they never ever ever have attacked me on my position on women or women and men or men um and i think that they really see that as an attack on black men you know and it's tech it's an attack on all men you know what it means to be a man and we already have so many issues when it comes to father fathers in the home and what it means to be a man in black america as is so it's just not something that they're gonna get behind so it's a losing issue um for democrats which is why i'm okay with them trying to force this down people's uh throats because in my opinion you start calling a black woman's child you know her son by a female name and you're going to wake up you know a sleeping a sleeping giant yeah i agree with you it's a losing issue i think across most demographics yeah uh it's just that again there's this it's hard to get that voice out there right because the media doesn't want it doesn't want to air that but one of the things i want to ask before we talk about your show on this topic there's this gallup poll that came out i don't know if you saw it last week i think it was um talking about the the rise of lgbt identification in the younger generation gen z and they're defining i think they define that as 1990s born between 1997 and 2002 or something uh so this this leaves out like our kids generation and even other other kids but um they found in the gallup poll that something like 12 of this generation identifies as bisexual he's like 10 times higher than other uh older generations the number of transgender uh identifications 10 times higher there there are now more trans identifying people in gen z than there are lesbians uh now i got in some trouble on twitter because i said that i think this is a an active effort by the lgbt left to essentially recruit kids to indoctrinate kids into their way of thinking yeah um what do you what is your take on that my take on that is first and foremost i have realized as i said with the race issue that a lot of the times it's not black americans behind it it's not lgb behind this transgender you speak i've spoken to tons of people that are on the left lesbian gays and they are uncomfortable with what they don't even understand why they're being forced to pretend to defend this i mean lgb really has nothing to do with t right and they've been able to amass a lot of power pushed through policies uh california just proposed a bill that boys and girls sections that would make boys and girls sections in retail stores and online stores illegal and that people that have signs that say boys section girl section will get fined a thousand dollars right you can't tell me that gays and lesbians got together and like this is just unbelievable um so there's there's something political that's pushing this and they're hiding um behind the lgb people to try to push that through um which is interesting and it's super alarming but in regards to um children identifying which is definitely happening um they're being encouraged in the school system so again there's something coming down the political pipeline that's encouraging them to see and then you have these woke parents who are like this is just who my child is and what i always say is that if you show me a trans child it's like showing me a vegan dog you know who's making the decisions right it's just like my dog's a vegan no your dog's not you know i mean my child's trans so your child's not you know you are you know putting this lifestyle upon the child because you just don't think i grew up i've been i've been a kid you don't think like that when you're a kid you don't think in terms of sexual identification gender identification you hardly even know what the stuff even means you just kind of want to run around on a playground and have some fun i was the ultimate tomboy when i was um would probably say from six to ten i was just like i just went hang out the boys just wanted to wear baggy clothes and thank goodness um that i grew up in the 90s because my mother wasn't like well you're michael you're obviously michael you know what i mean they were just like your candice going through a tomboy phase and then you know when i got older suddenly i thought those boys i was running around the playground with were attractive uh so these kids are not even being allowed to grow up and their parents are pitching holding them into these these decisions which if you grow up and you know allow that to happen this is going to end up with depression suicide the rates are staggering for for transgendered individuals who actually transition um and commit suicide thereafter there's a lot of transitioning regret and it's because they don't have parents parenting you know and and that's sad yeah to your point about this not being an lgb thing but a tea thing uh you know when you look at the numbers the the the l lesbians are being basically erased in the younger generations as we see the trans numbers go up and it's also it's interesting you say as a tomboy uh you know if that if you were tomboy now with some of the modern parents they'd say you're trans and that's why it's this is this irony where um actually the left has made gender a more rigid thing because now it's actually if you're a girl you're not allowed to behave right like a boy because if you do now you become a boy right so for a long time it seemed like they were saying well just because let's let's open up let's be more open-minded and if you're a girl doesn't mean you have to play with dolls you can play trucks too i'm on board for that but now they've they've kind of contradicted themselves and they said well come to think of it if you're a girl playing with trucks maybe you're actually a boy so right yeah they've made it more rigid and that's what i say in terms of race too these things that they focus on they say that they're trying to make things better they always worsen them you know it wasn't an issue for girls to play with guys if i was in the toy store and saw a boy's signing the girls sign a i don't even know if i was reading at the time that i was going to toys r us which is now extinct um but secondly if i wanted to go into the boilers out and grab something i'd have just done it my parents never been like what are you doing in the boys aisle i never felt traumatized that there were like you know they were filtering uh products and by the way guys do they gravitate towards different things my my brother paid played with entirely different things we wanted the barbies it wasn't because of a gender construct you know we wanted the barbies i wanted to take care i wanted to pamper i wanted a baby doll those maternal instincts happen at such a young age my um uh brother he wanted video games he wanted trucks he wanted things that i just wouldn't have played with but nothing was stopping us from playing with the other you know the other toy certainly not our parents yeah that's i my first kids were boy girl twins and you know you put you bring them to the play room got all the toys laid out and even at two years old they tend to gravitate towards their gender typical toys but it's not like i'm standing there to my son get your hands off that doll trucks are for you son yeah um now okay let's we got to talk about your show that's that's that's supposed to be the main topic here we've gone off and i'm not a very good interviewer i've taken us in oh it's fine it's fun it's best when they're just natural you know uh so your your show is debuting soon can you tell us i i even even here i've been it's been sort of like mysterious what is the community very serious i heard there's going to be an audience i heard these kind of things so what's uh can you tell us about the show can you give us a lot of rumors yeah um yeah so i think you know we kind of just wanted to create something that hasn't really been done before for conservatives and it's the time is super opportune right you have minimally 80 million americans who just feel like they're not being heard right now and uh who feel like they're being castigated for their political views and it also feels like we've been increasingly shut out of culture like oh we can't have you know conservatives aren't allowed to be funny they're not allowed to have live audiences this is not a thing that conservatives are allowed to do so we are doing a live uh live audience show and it will be very much in the vein of a lot like a lot of the old school late night talk shows when they were actually fun right when they actually had a sense of humor and they weren't so polarizing um and done entirely at the expense of half of the country um and so i always say to people i wanted to create something and it's it's so funny to me to say this now but when i was growing up i loved chelsea lately before she went lefty wacko couldn't take a joke and now she's taking xanax to deal with the election results she was funny along once upon a time chelsea handler was actually funny and irreverent and had a sense of humor and made fun of everyone um and it was a feel-good show it had you know had a panel so there were elements that i really loved and missed about having a woman who could have a sense of humor and not take herself so seriously um first and foremost and just kind of creating a show that does still also have a real purpose we're not sitting around talking about celebrities like she was talking about but we are talking about these sort of really important political issues um that are getting lost because a lot of the times you know the news cycle moves so quickly that it's almost we're all 80d right one second you're trying to talk about this issue and then they've kicked it and they're talking about this issue and i really wanted to sort of um get people focused on these issues like we just talked about in this show to really understand what is happening in this country how serious it is but also to give them a message of hope and that's through my monologue and my epilogue what would you say at the end when you say something at the end epilogue maybe can't have a log chart but like no but like the opposite of an epilogue is a prologue and i wouldn't call them monologue the prologue well i guess it's a monologue prologue yeah and then it's a monologue epilogue i just call it the monologue at the end the simplest thing yeah monologue at the end and and sort of giving them a sense of hope and and letting people know okay it does kind of feel like the world's on fire and we're just watching it burn um but there there are some things to feel hopeful about people are fighting back people are winning um and to invite you know for the interview segment americans you know of course there will be some celebrities um put onto the show as well but also i'm inspired by a lot of americans that are fighting back students who are fighting back against the indoctrination that's happening at their schools and uh it's gonna be a really fun show that's bringing the hope into it is good because i and that'll be good to eject a little bit of sunlight here because i'm just doom and gloom that's my perspective some people like to watch the world burn right that's your show so but it it's i think it's hard to inject sometimes uh actual hope in a way that is that's that's real and substantive and not superficial right and to inspire people like i said i you know i was reading a story about these literal i'm trying to get them on my show but these catholic teens who were going to school obviously at the time of george floyd george floyd protesting and when everyone just went super awoke and one of their classmates had gone back and found old pictures of them where the kid had acne in one picture he had an all white face mask next picture he had an all green face mask with his two buddies and they just said that's blackface green mass acne mask he actually had acne the school that is insane he but he got expelled and they and they said we know you didn't actually do this but it's very important for us to send a political message right now in this time incredible he got expelled they said you either yeah you either withdraw we're gonna expel you and his parents withdrew and then lawyered up and are suing and are actually winning right and so that's kind of the message people need to hear because i always get these questions of like what can i do what can i do fight you gotta fight this is not a time now to say what can i do your parents you gotta fight for your students you gotta go in you gotta march into the doors if they do something crazy
