Shop now at nofrills.ca. All right, guys. Happy Monday. I know you've missed me saying that. I missed you guys so much. Honestly, I felt like I was missing out on my therapy sessions. I could just tell you guys what was happening. And so much has happened since I've been off air. It's only been two weeks. I could be telling you anything. I love the live chat right now.
Starting point is 00:00:31 The people that are guessing. One person has already guessed, is guessing I'm already pregnant again. But I did have a baby in the past two weeks. Also, somebody tried to kill me in case you missed that. Imagine me being contacted by the FBI. I also had the Department of Child Services come to my door because I refused vaccines in the hospital and left the hospital early, whatever that means. The baby is mine. And of course,
Starting point is 00:00:57 yay, dropped a new song while I was gone. And that is putting it mildly. And I'm very disappointed in how catchy the tune is. Really, I find myself just humming along. But today I'm only back for a brief that before God and the people watching now and on my family. The people who support me are scared to talk. They are frightened to death that they're going to be canceled. What I always found to be problematic about the Me Too movement from the beginning were conflating he made a pass at me and I didn't like it with rape. It's a complete fabrication about my relationship with Gwyneth. I didn't put my hand on her. I didn't touch her. I definitely made a pass. Ashley Judd's claims are ridiculous. I mean, I settled with Rose McGowan. I gave her $100,000. Don't tell my wife. Don't get me in trouble. It's all conflated and it's all
Starting point is 00:02:06 led to the idea that I am going to be the one they persecute. They broke me. They broke me in half. There's just so much when you read the transcripts that defy common sense for me. I've asked to have lie detector tests brought into the prison. I know they're not admissible, but I want the world to know. To be honest with you, I think a lot of people are going to hear this conversation. Candace, you know,
Starting point is 00:02:31 one thing I can tell you is this is going to explode. And an explosion it definitely will be. It is, I'm just going to tell you, it's an unbelievable conversation. And I feel personally that this entire year has been about the undoing of Hollywood. Like we're just recognizing that Hollywood is Babylon,
Starting point is 00:02:55 biblically speaking. Celebrities are being exposed for who they actually are. Our eyes have been awakened to the truth. And I can guarantee you that this interview will fire another shot into the heart of the beast. You know, a lot of people, it's easy when somebody's going down, step on their head while they're drowning. Say what you want to say. It doesn't matter. He's going to prison. And then that person gets a voice. Harvey has not spoken in eight years. I mean, this is his first on-camera interview in eight years. So much has been said about him,
Starting point is 00:03:22 but he hasn't spoken for himself. And he now is going to. Now, you're probably asking where you can watch. Well, I'll tell you in just a second, but first, welcome to the grand finale of Harvey Speaks. We obviously have to give it to our subscribers at first. And so if you are already subscribed at CandaceOwens.com, you can head right after this episode and watch the interview in its entirety before the media loses its collective mind, which they will do, obviously, because it's me and it's Harvey. And we probably shouldn't even be speaking to each other according to their rules. And they never imagined a scenario when the Me Too movement was going all crazy where podcasting would pick up,
Starting point is 00:04:11 where people would be able to speak to independent journalists, to moms, to just talk to mommy sleuths about what actually took place, or that mommy sleuths would have so much fun on TikTok and on Instagram, going through transcripts and reading the court cases. And I will tell you that tomorrow we will be dropping a part of that
Starting point is 00:04:30 conversation here for free on YouTube. And I've been very clear about why this matters so much to me. If you are not paying attention, Harvey is back in court in New York City. His cases got overturned, which I'm glad to hear because looking through this case has made me lose faith in the judicial process of America. It truly has about the facts of the case. They care about the emotion of the case. They care about women crying on the stand. And they go, oh, well, put him in prison. For those of you who have been locked into this series, it's in my view and in the view now of the appellate judges who overturned his prosecution was indeed a media hoax. Harvey was essentially hanged because somebody had to pay for the hashtag MeToo. These hashtags are quite expensive. I got to tell you, you got to hang it.
Starting point is 00:05:31 BLM, everyone goes crazy. They're angry. And then they just convict someone. Exact same thing happened here. I'm going to very briefly run you guys who have not watched this series. You should go back, watch episode one, watch episode two. I would encourage you to watch all of the episodes before you dive in to the conversation that I had with Harvey. But I'm going to very briefly run you through the absurdity of the New York cases that initially put him into prison before telling you the most absurd story ever about his trial in Los Angeles. That one is just, I am beyond myself. Every time I look through the facts of this case and realize that he says, I don't know this person. And then the woman says, no, I don't know him either.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And yet somehow he gets convicted. It boggles, it boggles my mind. But let's start with the SparkNotes here from New York. Like I said, you can go back and watch the first episode. But Miriam Halei, also known as Mimi, is the individual that put Harvey away for 20 years. The best way to quickly remember her story, which I want to be clear, I do not believe Mimi at all. I do not believe her even 1%. I'm always honest with you. I've looked into this case. Essentially, the story that she tells is kind of like that viral Super Bowl meme of the artist The Weeknd, you know, where he looks like he has no idea where he's going, you know what I'm talking about? And I'll tell you why it is best remembered that way. In short, Mimi met Harvey at the Cannes Film Festival.
Starting point is 00:07:07 She went up to his hotel at that time. She claimed to be horrified by him already having made a pass at her. And she was so horrified by what happened at the Cannes Film Festival that, and the emails reveal this, she immediately thereafter reaches out to his office, the Weinstein Company, and secures herself an internship at his company, working as a production assistant for Project Runway. She was so horrified at what happened in Cannes that at the end of that internship, she decides to meet up with him at the Mercer Hotel to catch up. She then heads down to his office to meet with someone else there, and after seeing him, agrees for him to drive her back to her apartment in New York City lives by dropping her off at home and then barge into her apartment later that evening.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And that's what she says happened. He barged into her apartment. Well, first he rang the doorbell and she opened. She had to obviously physically open the door, which the court transcripts show. But then once he gets in through that door and in through a second secure door, which he doesn't really remember how he did that, he then instantly knew which apartment was hers. He just took a lucky guess. He was wandering around the apartment and somehow figured out on the floor which exact apartment was hers. She's unclear on the details. She's iffy on the details. What you find when you read these court transcripts is that when these young women get into a hiccup,
Starting point is 00:08:51 when they come across a hiccup and they can't really explain why something makes no sense, they just start crying harder. They need breaks. They need water breaks. They're overcome with emotion suddenly when something they say makes no sense. OK, now you would think after that she would have gone to the police. Of course, that's not what happened. Just a few days beyond there, she alleges that he again and she was so upset with herself, got into a predicament where Harvey again assaulted her, this time in a hotel room, which was his. So she went into his hotel room upon invite, and she says she was going to address him about what had happened earlier,
Starting point is 00:09:33 but instead was assaulted again. And after that assault, Mimi, like all the women involved, magically get tickets and red carpet premiere events. Harvey is able to pay for their flights, sometimes to Los Angeles, sometimes to London. Mimi keeps up this relationship with Harvey Weinstein spanning years, by the way. I want to be clear, spanning years. And it is shown via the emails that she ends emails, Harvey XOXO, love Mimi. Here's one of these emails, peace and love Miriam. she signs off in each email she's asking him for a favor she's asking him for a part she's asking him for an audition she's asking him for tickets and in this one she's asking him or telling him that her cat
Starting point is 00:10:19 needs feeding okay let's pull that up again dear, I haven't seen you in so long. How are you? Listen, I'm saving up to become a Kundalini yoga teacher and I just wanted to announce myself available for work. If you happen to by any chance have anything shooting in London, I'll be a runner, whatever. I'd really appreciate any leads. My cat needs feeding. It's just a strange thing to put in an email, okay? Either way, hope you're super well. Peace and love, Miriam. Okay? Again, I'm just giving you a sample here of how these women emailed Harvey after their alleged assaults and when they can't explain why they would do that. If all else fails, cry. Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Jessica Mann, of course, is the second young woman who put Harvey into prison for just a couple of years, this time for actual rape. And you'll recall that I've had correspondences with Jessica Mann since she did a whole series on her Instagram about me picking up this Harvey story when I said, I'm happy to host you on this podcast to tell your story. She suddenly didn't want to do that. And maybe it's
Starting point is 00:11:31 because, and as I said to her, your emails are quite telling. If you think that she said, oh, you agree that there's more that could be added that's off email. I'm like, sure, present it to me and I will present it to the public. I have no horse in this race. I'm just looking at the facts. And factually speaking, Jessica Mann, after her alleged assault, had her friends testify against her who were at breakfast with her and Harvey the morning after, who said she was in great spirits. Not only was she in great spirits after her alleged assault by Harvey, but she changed her flight so that she could stay with Harvey an additional night. She was supposed to fly out with her friend who testified against her. She was in town with her friend who testified against her. They were going to see Wicked together on his dime. She was staying in his hotel room, and he testified that she seemed to be in great form, in such great form after her alleged assault, that she changed her flight to stay with Harvey.
Starting point is 00:12:31 That seems like a strange thing to do after you are raped or sexually assaulted. But what do I know? I'm just putting the pieces together that are common sense. And nobody sent Harvey more emails than Jessica Mann, more loving emails. Her friends testified that she said he was like a mentor. She wrote an email to her boyfriend years later that Harvey reminded her of her father, that she perceived him as a mentor. According to her, she loved Harvey, according to her emails, so much so that she took her mother to meet Harvey. That is, to me, the craziest part of a Jessica Mann case. I don't care what you want to tell me about how women
Starting point is 00:13:12 deal with things, okay? To try to convince me that you would survive a rape and then months later, years later, take your mom to meet your rapist willfully. You're not in a corner. You don't have to answer an email. He reaches out. You say, I'm with my mom. Can I bring my mom for us to get drinks? I mean, pull up this email.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I don't want to misquote her. I want to the email between Jessica Mann. He writes to her on July 29th, 2014. So again, this is after her assault. I will be in L.A. tomorrow. Are you free around 930 or a drink? All my best, Harvey. So again, this is after her assault. I will be in LA tomorrow. Are you free around 930 or a drink? All my best, Harvey. She responds. It would be great to see you. However, my mother would be with me if we stopped by. She is here till Thursday afternoon. I have Thursday evening free so far. Tomorrow, depending on if you want us to swing by, we are thinking of going to Soho
Starting point is 00:14:02 with my girlfriend if she gets back in time. And he says in response, Harvey says, if you want to stop by with your mom at 930, you can come or come by the Soho house at 930. First person ever to introduce their mother to their alleged rapist after their rape and to carry on this relationship, which went on for years. Again, these young women were not like 19 years old when we say young women. OK, 27 years old, 28 years old, going until they're 30 years old. This is not Cassie meeting Diddy when she was 19 years old, 28 years old, going until they're 30 years old. This is not Cassie meeting Diddy when she was 19 years old. These are fully formed women. And in my view, they knew exactly what they were doing. What's happening right now is he is being retried in New York because, as I told you, the appellate judges looked at the case and said, this is crazy. I don't understand what happened here. Why did you allow all of this to take place in the courtroom?
Starting point is 00:15:09 Why did you allow witnesses to testify to his character, which had nothing to do with the case? You let people sit down and say, oh, he was really mean to me in third grade. I'm being hyperbolic here, but they did allow people to testify. He was mean to his brother. What does it have to do with anything that's taking place here?
Starting point is 00:15:23 It's just a character assassination. And so they overturned the case. The reason they allowed so many people to contribute to essentially just denigrating his character was because on the basis of the facts, if anybody objectively looked at the many emails that these women wrote to Harvey after their alleged sexual assaults, they would just conclude that this was all very much consensual, which is what Harvey contended. He contended that, yes, I had relations with these women. Yes, I was cheating on my wife, but these relations were consensual. And to these women, these relations were clearly transactional, right? They were willing to do whatever with Harvey until they received tickets and they wanted to receive tickets to LA.
Starting point is 00:16:08 They wanted to take their friends to red carpet events. And I think in the back of their minds, they thought they were going to be transformed into the next Angelina Jolie. So they were satisfied with those transactions until their careers completely plummeted and they didn't become the next big movie star. They didn't become the next Halle Berry, so to speak. And so what is quite telling, however, is the Los Angeles case, because as I said, the craziest case of all was when Harvey said, I don't know this person. This literally never happens. It is the only time that he had pivoted from his earlier points of saying it was consensual and said, I wasn't even there. I have no idea what you're talking about. And still, they managed to convict him in Los Angeles. And before I tell you about that woman who was able to make that happen through a lot of tears. I do want to read you this exchange from the transcripts of Harvey and Mimi Halei, his first accuser, that took place just a couple of
Starting point is 00:17:12 days ago because it really shows you their mindset. He is outwardly asking Mimi, his lawyer is asking her, why didn't you tell the press when you went on these press tours and you cried and you said what happened? Why didn't you tell them about your many correspondences with Harvey Weinstein? We can take a look at this transcript. He is asking, and Skylar, I'm going to take them to the bottom of page 733. He says, but you didn't mention, again, this is the lawyer questioning her, cross-examining her. You didn't mention on any of those press appearances that you had an encounter with Mr. Weinstein in the Tribeca Grand Hotel a week later after the July 10th incident, right? She answers, correct. You did not mention that Mr. Weinstein paid for your flight to Los Angeles. She says, correct. He says, you did not mention that he paid for
Starting point is 00:18:04 your flight to London. She says, correct. He says, you did not mention that he paid for your flight to London. She says, correct. He says, you did not mention that you met him in a hotel room in the Claridge's Hotel in London of October of 2006. She answers, no, I did not mention those things. He says, you did not mention that you were desperate to see him and talk to him in February of 2007 when you reached out to his assistant asking to get FaceTime with him. FaceTime? Sorry, there was no FaceTime. He says, when you were asking, am I going to be able to see Mr. Weinstein? She says, yes, with regards to working projects. You did not tell the public that information, right? She answers, no. You did not mention that you continued to have friendly emails with him in 2007, right? She says, I did not. You did not mention your friendly emails with him in 2008. She answers, correct. You did not mention your friendly emails in 2009. She answers, correct. You did not mention that you told Harvey Weinstein if he invested in your project, you would love him forever and ever, did you? I did not. You told the press only part of the story, correct? And she answers,
Starting point is 00:19:12 I told the part that was relevant to what I was trying to share. And he says, right, exactly. That's what I'm asking. So she's essentially, in my view, admitting to lying by omission, because again, this is why I call it a media hoax. When you give people just little tidbits and you don't present the full picture, it can lead them to the wrong conclusions. And if they had read her emails and the press had responsibly reported on her emails or at least pushed back at her during these press conferences and says, hey, what about this email? What is this? You had a relationship with him or if they reported on it, hey, what about this email? What is this? You had a relationship with him or if they reported on it, everybody would have said, this looks to me like,
Starting point is 00:19:51 I don't know, an arrangement, a transactional relationship to be sure. And again, I don't think Harvey Weinstein is a moral man. I just also do not believe that he is a rapist. And I certainly do not view these women as moral women. Before I tell you about the LA case, guys, I first want to tell you about Noland. That is spelled G-N-O-LAND. You would think a world where your data is locked into big tech's vault, your voice is being drowned out by the algorithm, and your ideas are being scraped, monetized, and buried would be a thing of the past, but it's not. It happens every day. No.land is a blockchain-powered rebellion disguised as a novel multi-user operating system. This isn't just tech, it's the logo-verse, a universe where you hold the
Starting point is 00:20:33 keys. Imagine a social platform where your posts cannot be shadow banned, a marketplace where your creations are not taxed by middlemen, a community where your code, your art, your ideas actually earn you power, not just likes. Built on the intuitive no language, Noland flips the script on censorship, control, and extractive platforms. It's not just a blockchain, it's a full-blown operating system for digital communities where developers collaborate like a jazz band, live and on-chain improvising governance apps and economies in real time.

Okay, the Los Angeles case, in my opinion, is the most egregious in terms of a miscarriage of justice. It leads me to believe that the courts are just irreparably corrupted, plausibly being run by gangs. We see the movies and people go up to judges and make them do things. That's what reading through what happened to Harvey in Los Angeles makes me believe. The only thing that would possibly make sense. It is the oddest story of all, because again, like I told you, Harvey, for all of his many, many faults, has pretty much owned up to having
Starting point is 00:23:16 relations with many of the women who have accused him. Consensual relations. Yes, I made a pass at her. I did this. I did that. You're going to see that if you watch the interview. He's very open about what his relations were with virtually each and every one of his accusers, which is why this case in Los Angeles is a strange departure, because he claims that he had no relations with this actress, that he was not even there at the time of the alleged assault at the Mr. C's Hotel in Los Angeles. And what's even stranger is the woman who was accusing him is agreeing. She's saying that she didn't know Harvey. We'll get more into that detail in just a second. Now, when Harvey says that I was not physically there, right, that to me should just be, okay, it's over. No questions asked because we can prove that he was
Starting point is 00:24:13 not there. It should be something simple to prove. I don't know, cell phone data. Perhaps we could use a cell phone data to see if Harvey Weinstein was physically at Mr. C's hotel. Oh, the judge actually didn't allow it when they tried to subpoena the cell phone data from his accuser, because they also made the allegation that that woman was not even there. A judge said, no, actually, you are not allowed to do that. So let me tell you about his accuser. Harvey's accuser is a Russian actress named Evgenia Chernyshova. So that would be like Eugenia in English. She's Russian. So it's Evgenia. And she, of course, went by Jane Doe all throughout the trial. And then she kind of announced herself with a colorful profile in The Hollywood Reporter after Harvey was sentenced. Like, now I'm ready to be famous for putting Harvey Weinstein away. The judge sentenced Harvey to 16 years for forcible rape, forcible oral copulation, and penetration by a foreign object. Okay? Like I said, this was nothing like the others. All of these allegations were just absurd. And I should mention, by the way, that even if all
Starting point is 00:25:26 of it had happened, which I do not believe, then that would follow a long line of allegations of abuse that were made by Evgenia. Because before her 2013 assault, which she claimed happened from Harvey Weinstein, she had claimed, according to a former boyfriend of hers, that six years earlier in 2007, she was assaulted by a boyfriend, which left her hospitalized. She claimed that she suffered PTSD since that incident. She claimed in 2010 that the owner of the Tuscan football club dragged her by her hair and beat her and then bought her a new Bentley. She claimed in 2011 that, to friends of hers,
Starting point is 00:26:12 that there was a powerful man in Moscow named Arthur who put her up in a suite at the Ritz Hotel in Moscow and then dragged her into the bathroom, grabbed her by her hair at the airport and assaulted her. And she had also made previous claims against the father of her child that he similarly dragged her by her hair
Starting point is 00:26:35 and sexually assaulted her. And most recently, she had made an allegation that on a trip to Russia, she was assaulted again by someone who pointed a gun and dragged her by her hair. So this kind of repeat allegation of her being dragged by her hair. I find it to be very interesting and very compelling. Now, when it comes to her allegations about what Harvey Weinstein did to her in particular. The story takes place in 2013, and she was in town in Los Angeles for the Italian Film Festival. She testified that she was raped by Harvey
Starting point is 00:27:17 at the Mr. C's Hotel after she attended the LA Italian Italian Film Festival and she was attending as a VIP guest, she told the jury that Weinstein just suddenly showed up to her hotel room completely unannounced that he loudly bang stranger, a stranger that he had that she'd only met briefly prior to him storming into her hotel room. OK, here is her telling ABC News about that time. Take a listen. The Russian born Italian model and actress says she briefly met Weinstein at three different events in the 2010s. I didn't know who he is. You didn't know the power that he held in Hollywood at that time? I, no, I didn't know. Did you ever email him or have a conversation with him?
Starting point is 00:28:16 Never. You never asked him for anything? Never, never. In 2013, Evgenia was a VIP guest at the Los Angeles Italia Festival when she says Weinstein forced his way into her hotel and sexually assaulted and raped her. I heard his banging on the door and he was loud. I know it's him because he was saying his name and I was really embarrassed and I opened this door. I regret this thing for decades, for the last 10 years of my life, that I did open this door.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Now, to be clear, Harvey was not staying at Mr. C's. He was staying at the Peninsula. Again, he maintains that this just never happened and she can't answer how or why it happened. She just got a bang on the door. She doesn't know why Harvey Weinstein even knew that she was staying at that room. And oddly, the room was not booked under her name. So if you're thinking this is like, oh, he's so powerful, he just called up and said,
Starting point is 00:29:18 where is this actress that I saw across the room who I don't know and she doesn't know me, I just saw her and she's so attractive that I'd like to room who I don't know and she doesn't know me I just I just saw her and she's so attractive that I'd like to break into her and rape her and they just said yes right this way Mr. Weinstein no because the hotel wasn't booked under her name she used an alias Leonore Leonore which I believe is her daughter's name or one of her daughter's name so this is another one of these things where we're supposed to believe that Harvey just has incredible radar that you could see him at an event and he will just know where you live and he will wander through the hallways of even a hotel that you're
Starting point is 00:29:53 staying at until he breaks into your hotel room or actually knocks on the door of your hotel room and then you let him in and then he says, I'm Harvey. I'm Harvey Weinstein. Okay. Now, while testifying about this incident, Evgenia made a reference to what Harvey forced her to do, this very dramatic rape scene. And oddly, she referenced Harvey's testicles as a part of the story. Now, for those of you who have been following the series, you know that that's not possible because Harvey doesn't have any testicles. He got gangrene in the 1990s and had to have them sewn into his thighs. But don't worry, once this mistake was made, Evgenia had a reason for why, oh, Russian is my first language. When I was saying balls on the stand, I meant something else. I just messed that part up.
Starting point is 00:30:46 She messed it up in a very big way. But like I said, the judge very clearly had something against Harvey. And who cares, right? Who cares? Now, it might have also been relevant that earlier that day, she had sent some very sexually explicit messages to Pascal Vichedomini, that was the organizer of the Italianian festival who she very clearly had some sort of a relationship with but of course the courts did not allow the jury to consider those messages so the rape that she alleges happened took place on february 6th took place pardon on february 17th, 2013. Leading up to that, she was messaging with the person who was throwing on this event, this Italian festival.
Starting point is 00:31:31 First on February 6th, she wrote to him, to Pascal, tomorrow is your birthday. Sleep with me. I'll be coming to LA next week. Pascal writes back, yes, I'm going to the Grammys. Cool. Then I'll wish you a happy birthday tomorrow. I need your beautiful mouth now. And then she writes back, I think I know how to help you. OK. And then he writes back, I was thinking exactly that. You know me too well. Then on the day of the alleged assault leading up to it, February 17th, she wrote to him at 1.35 p.m., I'm waiting for you. And he writes, on my way, love. And then she writes, hurry up. There's a surprise waiting for you. You would think this would be very relevant. What she was doing on the day leading up to this alleged assault that Harvey says he wasn't even in the hotel for. And like I
Starting point is 00:32:27 said, the judge said, we just will not allow the jury to see these explicit sexual messages. Harvey's team believed that she was out with Pascal that night, and that would certainly make sense. They definitely do not believe that she was at Mr. C's hotel, and I'll tell you why. And this is really the craziest part of the story. So Alan Jackson, who was Harvey's attorney, upon cross-examination specifically asked Evgenia if she stayed at Mr. C's hotel following the alleged rape. Fair, right? Like, did you stay in the hotel?
Starting point is 00:32:59 Did you burst out of the room? And she said, yes, she stayed placed. She stayed at the room. And she said, yes, she stayed place. She stayed at the hotel. He also asked her if she recalled hearing a loud fire alarm going off in the hotel that night of her alleged rape. She says it happened in the wee hours. So like around 12, 45 a.m., maybe right after midnight. And she seems very confused by the question of whether or not she heard an alarm. She said she did not recall hearing a fire alarm that night. At that moment in the courtroom, Weinstein's attorney shot back, you don't remember the fire alarm because you weren't in your room, right? What's he talking about? Well, his team
Starting point is 00:33:36 also called the LAPD to testify about what took place at Mr. C's hotel. Just Harvey's luck, or you would think it would be his luck in a sane world, during that hour where she alleges that her rape took place at 12.45 a.m. on the morning of February 18th, the fire alarm went off at Mr. C's hotel and everybody had to file out of the hotel. She has no recollection of that fire alarm having ever took place. She didn't remember the fire alarm, and the following morning, she did not choose to go to the police. She stayed put and instead chose to have breakfast at the hotel. She also, the
Starting point is 00:34:20 receipts show, had dinner at the hotel. In fact, she ended up staying at that hotel with her friend through to March 1st. The records show that she ordered many meals, dry cleaning. She went out to many events thereafter. She complained about the Wi-Fi at the hotel. In fact, Evgenia did not make time to go to the police until four years after this alleged incident, four and a half years after this alleged rape. And her timing is a bit suspicious, if you ask me, because she decided to go shortly after The New York Times published the first story regarding the Harvey Weinstein allegations. She up and went to the police station on October 19th, 2017. The New York Times had published their first piece
Starting point is 00:35:09 on October 5th, 2017. Remarkable timing. Exactly two weeks after they broke the first story regarding the Weinstein allegations. Now, in case you're thinking, okay, she sounds guilty of sin, and I'm not believing that Harvey Weinstein was even there that night and she doesn't remember the alarm and she also said he had balls. Well, you'd be wrong because she has an explanation for why she waited four and a half years.
Starting point is 00:35:38 And here's what she told ABC News. When her daughter's own traumatic experience prompted her to finally speak out. I was sexually assaulted and terrified at the moment. I was only 15. I convinced her to go to the police and we make a deal. I promised her that I will go to the police. Maria did go to the police and received a temporary restraining order against her alleged perpetrator. Evgenia also went to the police. And on January 6th of 2020, Los Angeles County prosecutors charged Weinstein with rape and sexual battery in connection to Evgenia and another Jane Doe. Got it, guys? So what happened was she didn't do anything. She enjoyed her time out in L.A. after that. She also went to Malibu after that,
Starting point is 00:36:34 which we'll do a deep dive in a timeline when he goes back for his retrial in Los Angeles. But she wasn't motivated to do anything about this rape until her daughter had some assault happen to her. And it just happened to be the unique timing of when the New York Times came out with these allegations. And then she went to the police with no evidence, obviously, because Harvey still maintains that he was not even at that hotel
Starting point is 00:37:00 and he doesn't know this woman. Maybe he met her briefly a few times, but it is quite a defense. I wasn't there. I don't know her. Please allow me to get her phone records so I can show you that she was not even there, that she was likely out with this guy, Pascal. Judge, no, I'm sorry. You're guilty. And you want to know why you're guilty? Because she's crying, and she's crying a lot and she's crying on the stand. She's talking about her daughter. And so what if she can't even describe your private parts? So what if she's actually so wrong on your private parts that the parts that she is describing
Starting point is 00:37:34 don't even exist? Don't you see her tears? Genuinely, I think that woman is going to burn in hell. I'm just going to be honest. When I looked through everything, I was like, this is so egregious that any person that allowed this to happen, any person in the courtroom that was complicit in this. And once again, of course, the courtroom invited everybody to testify. He took my lunch money when I was in third grade. He's a bad guy, Your Honor. Jury, he's a real bad guy. He punched his brother and his brother got into a fight when they were eight years old. He's a bad guy. Yeah. In the absence of evidence, bring in a bunch of people who have quarrels with you over the year and allow them to testify to your behavior.
Starting point is 00:38:17 And by the way, those people who were testifying about what a mean boss he was or how he argued with his brother, they were probably telling the truth. That has nothing to do with an allegation of rape. Without even placing him at Mr. C's hotel, they convicted Harvey Weinstein. 16 years in Los Angeles. What is that about? That's about a social movement called Me Too. And like I said, Harvey Weinstein was hanged on the hashtag Me Too. There was no evidence here that if I was a jury person, if I was on the jury, that I would have convicted him with. There was absolutely none, all emotion. Anyways, you guys, before I get into reading some of your live comments,

Starting point is 00:41:30 the Harvey trailer one more time because this interview is completely explosive. Hollywood is going to burn. All right, take a listen. I did not commit these crimes. I swear that before God and the people watching now and on my family. The people who support me are scared to talk. They are frightened to death that they're going to be canceled. What I always found to be problematic about the Me Too movement from the beginning, we're conflating he made a pass at me and I didn't like it with rape. It's a complete fabrication about my relationship with Gwyneth. I didn't put my hand on her. I didn't touch her. I definitely made a pass. Ashley Judd's claims are ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I settled with Rose McGowan. I gave her $100,000. Don't tell my wife. Don't get me in trouble. It's all conflated and it's all led to the idea that I am going to be the one they persecute. They broke me. They broke me in half. There's just so much when you read the transcripts that defy common sense for me. I've asked to have lie detector tests brought into the prison.
Starting point is 00:42:39 I know they're not admissible, but I want the world to know. To be honest with you, I think a lot of people are going to hear this conversation. Candace, you know, one thing I can tell you is this is going to explode. Definitively, all I can say is definitively joking. Jumping into your comments, Brittany Douglas writes, I just heard the court transcript of Cassie in the Diddy case, and they might use her testimony to show that even after being abused,
Starting point is 00:43:11 it might still be normal to communicate or in her case be sexually involved afterwards. I have a lot of feelings about that case that's playing out. It's a really hard case to compartmentalize different elements. First and foremost, he without question, I mean, is obviously very guilty of abusing her. We got to watch the domestic abuse on camera. And so that's one element that we have completely confirmed. Also, remember, Cassie met Diddy when she was 19 years old. And of course, 19 is legal, but it is not an age where your brain is developed. And so I think there was also an element of grooming. Now, that doesn't mean that she did not sign up for that relationship because,
Starting point is 00:43:48 oh my God, he's Diddy and he's powerful and women are naturally attracted to that, you know, the sense of power and that she's going to be taken care of. But I have a lot to say about that case and I'm going to do it on Thursday. I'm going to jump on with Ian to talk about the dogs that are not barking in the Diddy case. And I just want to say I don't view the Harvey case to be anywhere near that, mainly because these women pursued Harvey. And also they were plenty of age, like I said, 27 years old through to 30. We're not talking about a 19 year old who was working under his label, which is what she was doing, right? So you go that that power dynamics are not right there either. Nope. These were actresses that were looking for a leg up,
Starting point is 00:44:28 asking him for jobs, going up to him, asking him, oh, I'm out of work. Could you do this for me? And it's just entirely different, which is why I encourage you, Brittany, to go back if you haven't and watch the Harvey series from the beginning, because you will see I am not a fan of these women. And I will say if any of them would like to come on the show and give their version of events that can't be found in the transcripts and in the emails, maybe you have some emails that were not presented in the courtroom, my platform is yours. But after everything I have seen, my conclusion is that what happened to Harvey in the courtroom was not an act of justice, but rather an act of social justice, which is not real justice. Rad Trust, Rad Faith writes, free love is a lie and it's destroying us. If she isn't your wife, then she's your neighbor's wife, sister, mother, daughter, but more than that, created in the image and the likeness of the Lord. Self-control. Yes, Harvey is in prison because he did not have self-control, my friends. There's no question about it. If he is guilty of anything, it's being an idiot and not being faithful to his wife. And you see so many men that fall because of this. So many men,
Starting point is 00:45:31 addictions to pornography, a topic that me and Ian gently touched on a couple of weeks ago. We don't speak enough about the increasingly pornographic culture that we live in and how not having self-control, if you're not controlling yourself, who is controlling you, right? That's the question that you should be asking. Jeremiah writes, I'm quite a recent convert to Catholicism from being a Pentecostal Protestant. This was my first conclave. Let's pray for our father. I am feeling remarkably optimistic. And I think that's because my husband has been optimistic, and thus far the Pope hasn't done anything that has signaled that he is anything other than
Starting point is 00:46:13 a true believer. So we do need to keep the prayers and tabemos papam. We have a Pope Candace, Jeremiah writes. Army Sniper writes, as a victim of false accusations by a woman that almost cost me my career you are amazing to do this I got lucky but many do not that is absolutely true it ruins men's lives I think that if a woman is allowed to file as a Jane Doe then the man should be kept as a John Doe someone offered that in the comments recently and I thought it was brilliant I agree and I'll think that I believe that they should be kept as a John Doe until they're proven guilty why should a man's life get ruined in the press or get ruined? Because you can research a case and you don't even know if the woman is telling the truth.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And sometimes even when the woman's not telling the truth, a man's life is still ruined, which is the reason that Harvey Weinstein is in prison, in my view. Black fatigue writes, welcome back. Ian was a good substitute teacher while you were gone. Is it likely that she was describing her consensual sexcapade with Pascal that night and simply used Harvey's name to support her lie of the event? I think this woman has a very steep history of lying. I think she is insane. And I'm not sure. I'm not sure what she was thinking. But I do know that that is the case that I am most looking forward to following because it just is so ridiculous on a single shred of evidence that Harvey was even there. Think about that. He was even there and they convicted him because she cried in court. That's just completely crazy. And they say women have no power. Allie writes, we miss you. Congratulations on your beautiful new baby. Thank you so much, Allie.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Sarah writes, I have three kids and was a zombie the first few weeks, all of them so big. Kudos to you, Candice. Trust me, I was definitely in that mode. You know, the first couple of weeks are really hard as with a newborn, especially if you're exclusively breastfeeding, you're just exhausted.
Starting point is 00:48:01 I'm exhausted right now. I think our bodies just go into a rhythm where you're just like, you're not gonna sleep. So just keep going. But I'll talk more about that. I'm definitely going to do an episode on my birth story, which you guys are going to love. Leading up to it, women always love a good birth story. Like what were the signs you were going to go into labor? I have a very hilarious birth story that has everything to do with muffins and Walmart. And I can't wait to share that with you. We'll probably record it and I'll release it maybe next week while it's fresh in my mind because I don't want to forget
Starting point is 00:48:30 anything. And then, of course, I have to tell you about the DOJ and the craziness. I saw people in the chat going, what did I miss? Yeah, look that up. Yeah, someone tried to murder me. Seriously, like was plotting to murder me in a group chat with 40 other people. And I don't know their names because they allegedly didn't respond to him. But I would be more comfortable if I knew their names. And he's been arrested and he has pled guilty. So, yeah, the FBI got in on his communications and him plotting to murder me. So you guys are like, I'm so worried about your safety. You maybe had a reason to be worried about my safety. He was going to murder me over my Piers Morgan interview with Rabbi Shmuley. That was his reason for
Starting point is 00:49:08 wanting to murder me. Completely crazy. Anyways, last person who asked that who tried to kill you was Ryan Reynolds. No, it was not Ryan Reynolds. But yeah, you can look that up. It was in the press. And I will tell you way more about that when I'm on air more. Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, I will definitely be back to speak to you tomorrow very briefly about the Taylor Swift move. I could not believe it. Taylor Swift teaming up with Justin Baldoni and giving the press what they need to know about Blake Lively threatening her, get her to come out. I have 10 years of text messages. Don't forget that I have 10 years of text messages. Come out in support of her. Wild times. And nobody can do a breakdown on that and that entire dynamic and what actually forced Taylor Swift to come out other than me. So I'll be back tomorrow
Starting point is 00:49:55 to give you guys that. But reminding you, if you would like to watch the Harvey Weinstein interview, you want to be the first to watch that, CandiceOwens.com right now. It is completely live. And again, I'll be on later this week with Ian to speak about the Diddy case of dogs that are not barking. You'll see me a lot this week. I'll be kind of making my way in this week and then I'll be gone again for another two weeks. So I'll see you guys then. you
