Starting point is 00:00:00 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dillon Show. Starting off a little seriously this episode, we've been thinking a lot about the show and the direction that it's going in. And I was at the dinner the other night and somebody said to me, you've never had a woman of color on the show. And this is true.
Starting point is 00:00:17 And number one is because I don't have guests. Usually it's a show without guests. It's kind of me ranting. You guys are familiar. But I started to think about it and I started to think about that I needed to kind of make some changes. And why not use this platform to elevate people
Starting point is 00:00:34 that have been marginalized historically? And why not use the platform to bring on a woman of color to speak? I think that's very important. So I think now it's time to kind of throw a bone to progressives, listen to people, reach across the aisle, you know, in terms of everybody should be listening to each other.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So I said, I was like, I absolutely at dinner. I said, I 100% am going to bring a woman of color on the show. I think it's the right thing to do for somebody like me that has a platform. I truly believe that. I'm not kidding. I know I'm a comedian, but I'm not kidding about that.
Starting point is 00:01:08 So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Candace Owens. Candace, thank you so much for being our first woman. That one. You're our first woman of color on the show. And I really am grateful that you came on. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
Starting point is 00:01:29 I love being the first one. What a pioneer. And yeah, I feel that it's not going to go as you planned in the comments section, but... Well, I'm just, I'm hoping that everybody recognizes that I'm really trying to elevate someone. She doesn't count. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Is it weird to you? Is it funny that there's so much of a push to listen to people of color, women of color. And you, who are an author, you've got millions of followers. You drive the national conversation. When you say something, people listen, but no one would ever think to,
Starting point is 00:02:04 for you to be the woman of color that anyone should be listening to. Right. That's because progressives only like black people if they're going to complain about being black and say they're a victim and sort of fall into that narrative, the ism narrative, as I like to refer to it as racism, sexism, whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:02:24 And because I am a content person, because I like America, because I don't hate white people, because I don't hate men, that disqualifies me from the oppression Olympics. So I do find it to be hilarious because I think it reveals who they actually are, that it's not about giving a platform to black people, it's about uniformity.
Starting point is 00:02:45 And I am not uniform. So, time out. And you're also, you know what's interesting, because I observe you, you're a happy person. You're happy. You're happy, like you enjoy your life. You're happy. You got a great husband.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Congratulations. You're pregnant. You have a baby on the way. You're not a miserable person and you don't seem invested in other people's misery. Like you, yeah. And I think, is there a psychological component to a lot of politics right now
Starting point is 00:03:12 that we're not realizing where you see some of these people? When I see somebody with purple hair screaming, I go, there's something else going on and it's not always political. It's usually just a mental disorder, which none of us are equipped to address. You know, trying to make yourself unattractive, screaming, freaking, finding issues with everything.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Like you just, anything that screams normal to them, they have to attack it. They're just like, this needs to go because it's too normal. It's a horrible way to live. So, I always say, if you look at the life of a leftist, they wake up every day and they are trying to figure out what to be upset about.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Eventually that has to rot your soul. Like, you know, to be looking around, to walk into a grocery store and be like, you know what, these Aunt Jemima freaking pancakes have to go. You know what I mean? Like I look in and I'm like, ooh, like what's in the meat section to go to the cook chair and see what he's made up.
Starting point is 00:04:06 So I just can't imagine, they don't realize the weight of their own mentality. And I'm the exact opposite person. I'm always happy. And that's partly because I have a family. We just have a very good sense of humor. We just always made fun of each other growing up. We don't take ourselves too seriously.
Starting point is 00:04:21 So I think having a sense of humor just makes life better. And the left just does not have a sense of humor about anything. Well, that's true. I mean, one of the things, there's so many comedians that do respect you and a lot of them don't say so publicly because you really, you live by that code of, listen,
Starting point is 00:04:38 you can say whatever you want about me. I'm gonna laugh it off. We did a video where I dressed up like a corona ball and the corona ball said that the corona ball was gonna come and go up your nose and find you in a grocery store. And I know Chappelle's talked about you and other comics and SNL, you really roll with it.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Like you don't care. You laugh it off. I love what you said about SNL. I think you tweeted, your show hasn't been funny since 2009, which is true. Why are you able to laugh things off and why are so many people on the left, but also you have certain people on the right
Starting point is 00:05:12 just not able to do it? Well, you know, I think first and foremost, I, like I said, I love humor. So like I grew up watching all of the stand-ups and I think it's sad that comedians aren't allowed to say things unless they're politically correct. Political practice is not funny. It's just not funny.
Starting point is 00:05:30 So like I always say, it was Chris, Chris Rock's Bigger and Blacker. It's one of my favorite all time favorite stand-ups. And if you watch it from start to finish now, he could have never performed this in 2020. He would have been burned over the coals. And what's beautiful about it is he starts out the first thing he says is racially charged.
Starting point is 00:05:48 He comes out on stage and he's like, white people in the back tonight. And he starts going on about all of these stereotypes, making fun of black people for the baby mama culture, making fun of white people being like, if it's a school shooter, you know it's a white kid. You know, all these things like you could never say today. And by the end of it, this incredible thing happens
Starting point is 00:06:06 where everyone in the audience, no one escaped. Whether you were Chinese, black, white, gay, straight, no one escaped. And you sort of realize, you know what? We all kind of suck and we're in that together. And there's a beauty in that. There's a humanity in that and not taking yourself so seriously
Starting point is 00:06:21 and being able to laugh at yourself. Like I appreciate the stereotype, even the caricature of Candace Owens, right? So I found your things to be very funny because it was hitting at this caricature of like, Candace Owens doesn't think I'm real. And that's funny. I should laugh at that and not be like,
Starting point is 00:06:36 how could he make fun of a woman of color expressing her opinion about a panda? Like it's just so boring, it's funny. Are you ever invited, you know, when they do, because you will debate anybody, you'll talk to anybody, you'll sit down with anybody. Are you ever invited to these colleges for these debates when they talk about
Starting point is 00:06:57 critical race theory or intersectionality? Does anybody ever say, let's bring Candace in? Or is, I mean, even as I ask the question, I feel like I know the answer. Because you'll go, like you'll show up and you will bring your ideas to people. But are you surprised by how little that happens? No, I'm not surprised because everything
Starting point is 00:07:19 that they believe in is a lie. It's a misrepresentation. And it relies on no one in the audience having a monochrome of intelligence to be able to counter it or being too fearful to counter it. So you could be sitting in the audience when the left is spewing their, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:34 racist, sexist, misogynist BS, but you're white and you're straight, so you gotta shut up, right? And they built that safe, they built that safe space around themselves because you just have to shut up. Unfortunately for them, according to their own rules, I'm at the top of the progressive stack.
Starting point is 00:07:48 So they have to let me talk, which means that it relies on two people locking based on intellect. And the left cannot lock with me on intellect because I'm going to hit them hard. I know that all of it's BS. So they do what they, the only thing that they can do is pretend I don't exist.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Is there any really smart person, whether it's Dr. Cornel West or whoever we go, it would be a tough debate. Like, do you ever look at somebody on the left and go, because I remember asking, I think I asked Ann Coulter this, I was like, and I think she said maybe it was Pat Caddell or Mickey Kouse at one point
Starting point is 00:08:18 who's kind of drifted maybe to the center now, but is there anyone on the left where you go, yeah, this is a person I don't agree with, but I kind of respect them and I think they're smart. So you brought up Cornel West, I've debated him. Right, right. I sat down and I spoke with him and the thing is, is he doesn't play far left
Starting point is 00:08:36 when he's in the room with me. So he actually agreed on a lot because he's smart enough not to say ridiculous things and drive himself to the far left, which is just making no sense, right? So we were able to have a respectable dialogue and to be honest, now I feel that those sorts of moderates have all sort of kowtow to the far left
Starting point is 00:08:55 and their arguments are getting more and more ridiculous. So there isn't anyone that is kowtowing to the far left that I'd be afraid to be in the room with and debate. I find much more fear in debating people on the right that I mean, like I would never debate Larry Elder. That is one person that I have been open about. Like, thank God we're on the same side because the man is absolutely brilliant.
Starting point is 00:09:17 He doesn't forget a single fact. And I think he's got like a photographic memory. From the left, I mean, women can be men, men can be women, like what do I need to prep for? Right. Like in a debate about that, you know what I mean? Like he should be able to pick their gender. They have the agency, they can't figure out
Starting point is 00:09:32 not to stick their hands in toasters, but yeah, sure, let them decide on their entire lifestyles when they're two years old. So they're just so crazy right now that no, there's no one that I'm fearful to sit down in the room with. Right. Now you got some flack you often do. And this was about Harry Styles wore a dress
Starting point is 00:09:51 on the cover of I believe Vogue or Vogue. A ball gown, you get it right. A ball gown. And now my whole point was that no one can afford. If you told me, Tim, go get Harry Styles dress on a cover of Vogue. I mean, if my mother was like, you know, you're about to kill her, I couldn't find a ball gown.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I don't even know how to buy these clothes. They're too expensive. Most people don't. I talked about it on my show. I'm like, I don't think this is such a huge problem because nobody has a job. But what, that was a firestorm. So what about that?
Starting point is 00:10:23 You saw that and you go, they're trying to get rid of traditional masculinity. Do you think it's, do you think it is kind of that plot? Or do you think it's kind of just like Harry Styles trying to get attention and being ridiculous? I feel like there's probably not a lot of dudes in the country that are gonna start dressing in like Christian Dior ball gowns.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah, you say that because our generation, and when I say our generation, I'm too speaking about millennial, older, a bit younger, sure. Because we didn't grow up with this, with culture telling us that men should be women and women should be men. Actually, that was some, this is a new crazy
Starting point is 00:10:56 that the left has unleashed. Really has unleashed, I would say, over the last five years now, where they're kind of harping on these kids to understand that gender is made up. And your kid, I mean, who's the chick that's always naked on Instagram? Emma, Rata, did you do?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Rada Kowsky, Raja Kowsky or something? Yeah, she's always naked. Always says it's a new reason. You know, oh, I'm naked today for this issue. That's what we call it intellectual. In America, that's what we call it intellectual. Yeah, by the way, she does have a nice body. I wish she would just be like,
Starting point is 00:11:23 I'm naked because I have a nice body and stop pretending that it's some social issues, but whatever, so she's pregnant. And the first thing she does is issues a long statement saying that she's gonna be part of the parents that raise their kid to have no gender and wait for their kid to tell her when she's 18, what gender it is.
Starting point is 00:11:40 By the way, there's no way at 18 that that daughter or son is still speaking, Emily Rada Kowsky. She better get that. She better get that. She better get that sooner. It is weird. Like we saw that you, I think it's a, you,
Starting point is 00:11:55 you tell it, what is the church, Unitarian? The Unitarian video where they bring up the young kid, was on Twitter, who's like too, and they're like, hey, tell everyone you're transgender. It was weird. It was all the creepy elements of religion. Yeah, it's weird. It's just weird.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah, it's weird. And it is because of now we're sort of treading towards this atheist society, that they're looking for new forms of religion. These are new types of cults that are happening. Let the left has become a cult, where they just wanna undo things that we didn't have a problem with.
Starting point is 00:12:25 At no point when I was growing up as a little girl was I like, man, I really wish I could go into the guy's bathroom, it's just not fair. Or like, I really wish I could just act like a boy and all of a sudden, I never had those feelings. I was a tomboy for a period of time, but my mother never said, well, this must mean that you are deep down inside a boy,
Starting point is 00:12:43 and thank God she didn't, because I grew out of it when I went through puberty, and suddenly I thought that the guys were not cool, but cute. So, I mean, in terms of the Harry South thing, I said something that everyone reasonably should have agreed with. He's not masculine when he's wearing a dress.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And you have to pay attention to those trends, whatever they're putting on the cover of Vogue, that's what's around the corner. That's what's around the corner culturally. And I'm distantly against this trans agenda, as I call it. Of course, if you're a trans person, you're suffering from gender dysphoria, which is a real issue, then you should be afforded
Starting point is 00:13:16 every protection, you should never be attacked. But- No, I'm always for maximum freedom. I think maximum freedom, too much of progressivism now seems to be about reducing the freedom of others. It seems to be about corraling people and going, you need to think like I do, you need to believe this, or you are a problem.
Starting point is 00:13:39 A big transphobic, homophobic, like, you know, and that that's what I got for saying that he was not masculine in a dress. You know, I got called a transphobe. Like, I'm not afraid, phobia means a fear of, I'm not afraid of men in dresses. I'm stating my opinion that why can't we just have normal? Why can't we just see a nuclear family
Starting point is 00:13:56 on the cover of any of these magazines? They're just trying to get freakier and freakier and freakier. And I think that there is a difference between diversity and perversity. And Navill left is treading towards perversity. It's not about being diverse, it's about being how perverse can you get.
Starting point is 00:14:09 And I'm just not for it. So I say what I say, and that's that. Now you recently joined Daily Wire. I did. You're on Daily Wire. That's very exciting. Now why did you just sit? Cause now you and Ben Shapirov kind of,
Starting point is 00:14:21 you're a little bit of a team in a way. Not a team, but you're on the Ben Shapirov team. Right. Now you guys are kind of different ideologically, right? I mean, you're very similar in many ways, but like I would say he's more maybe a, kind of an old school conservative. And I think you're more of a kind of a nationalist.
Starting point is 00:14:38 If that's right, am I wrong there? We do have differences without characterizing it. I would say you're absolutely right. You're hitting at, we are stylistically different. And we have had, we've butt heads in the past, Ben and I. And now what, so what about that move was the move? You just said, I'm going to do it. I think it's, I think it's,
Starting point is 00:15:00 I think what the daily wire invites and, and people may not realize it now is that there are people that completely disagree with daily wire. Michael Knowles and I actually tend to agree on stuff more often than not. And him and Ben Shapirov disagree on a lot of things. And Michael Knowles has been a part of the daily wire team for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:15:16 So I think that they're, you know, they are smart enough to realize that they're not trying to inspire group thing. They're trying to, you know, lift different voices and sort of take over, if you will. Like, you know, become an alternative to the left and everything that we see on TV is always a leftist perspective.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So we, Ben and I will still disagree on certain people, different ideas, but we do so, you know, and are able to make fun of one another and not take it too seriously. And he has a pretty good sense of humor too, I think for the most part. I see him, he has a pretty good sense of humor. He's not, now about COVID, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:51 I just have my producer here and I just ordered two COVID tests. You know, we have no symptoms, we're not sick, but I'm spending about $600 to have a guy come in here, we do this a lot. Like they took about cancelling student loan debt. I want them to cancel the thousands of dollars I've spent on COVID tests where I don't even know if they're accurate.
Starting point is 00:16:07 No one really, it's all a guessing game. And then the doctor comes over, they barely, they don't have a mask. I'm like, you're not afraid. So now COVID, COVID's clearly real. It's clearly a problem. But you have, and I don't know that I agree with you here, but you make kind of a compelling case
Starting point is 00:16:25 that this is part of something larger, that it's been inflated to a degree. Now, and how would you say that? Because I was listening to you, you did a live stream I think last week where you said, I have been calling out how COVID is going to be used to get Donald Trump out of office for a while.
Starting point is 00:16:48 You've been calling it out probably since February. That's right. But it's happening all over the world and it is something that's an actual disease and it can be quite devastating. But what do you think has been done on the left in your estimation to inflame the situation or to make it a catalyst to remove Trump?
Starting point is 00:17:13 Well, first and foremost, COVID was never going to kill millions and millions of Americans. That was always a lie. It was about basically transforming America into a free society, into a totalitarian state. Going into this year, Trump had a warring economy and there used to be that expression.
Starting point is 00:17:29 It's the economy stupid. Guarantees you a second year. We did not have a mail-in ballot system, which is the most fraudulent susceptible system that you could possibly have in terms of voting, implementing that entire system virtually overnight in all 50 states and just going, there's no way there's gonna be any fraud.
Starting point is 00:17:46 So I was calling that out, which seemed obvious. So as economy got crashed, you changed the entire way that America votes, which allows for more fraud. And at the same time, you're crashing American businesses when we know that China was very close to, I mean, essentially what China has been trying to do
Starting point is 00:18:03 for those of us who study foreign policy has been taking the Belt and Road Initiative, getting all of the world to turn to China as the world leader. And that's very much happening right now. I mean, China, despite implementing genocide on the Muslims somehow has a seat on the humanitarian board at the UN,
Starting point is 00:18:21 which makes entirely no sense. China was able a country of 1.3 billion people, right? I've been to China, everyone's like this at all times, was able to knock out the coronavirus and reopen everyone's businesses in two weeks. And we just can't figure it out in the West. They can't figure it out anywhere. And our infection rates,
Starting point is 00:18:40 first they were playing around with the death rates and we had the censorship from the tech. People were coming out and saying, yes, my father died of cancer and COVID-19 is on his death certificate because in post-mortem testing, which has never been done, they're looking for a strand of this virus, which the majority of people who get it are asymptomatic.
Starting point is 00:18:57 I mean, I've probably had COVID 10 times. I've declined to wear a mask. I've traveled to at least four countries, right at the height of it. I've had, and I say this in my act, I believe I've had COVID for 10 years. Yeah, I mean, there's no way I don't have it. So this is the big deadly virus, guys.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And by the way, here's the thing up a lot. If they actually thought that it was a big deadly virus, and we're all going to die, they'd be encouraging Trump rallies. They hate Trump supporters, right? They'd be like, yes, all of you go into a pit and then we expect all of you to die. I hosted events with thousands of people.
Starting point is 00:19:27 They were sanctioning protests, but then saying, so I mean, it was just the entire mainstream media narrative made entirely no sense, but they wanted us to be home. They wanted us to be on our cell phones. They wanted us to be essentially just paying attention to them. And the psychological game of it, the death ticker, that was the thing that I was like,
Starting point is 00:19:42 this is like next level creepy stuff because no matter what you had going on in America, you have never seen a death ticker. You've never seen the news tell you every time somebody dies of something, how they even were able to do that considering your health records are private, yet they were somehow telling you
Starting point is 00:19:57 how many people were dying of COVID-19 was completely bizarre. If there was a death ticker to tell you every time somebody died in a car accident, you'd never get in your car because it creates psychological trauma. And that's what they were trying to do, psychologically traumatize people to fundamentally change the way that we act
Starting point is 00:20:12 every single day. And it happened, people bought into it. I mean, I just was at the grocery store and a woman came up to me and she just said to me, excuse me, you're pregnant. I wanna let you know if your mass is not over your nose, like you're gonna catch this thing. Ironically, you know me, I love Whole Foods.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And I turned to her and I said, I don't care if I get coronavirus. I mean, what is wrong with you? What weird, like I'm a young, springy 31 year old woman. If I get coronavirus, I promise you it's not gonna be anywhere near as bad as the flu I had two years ago, which wiped me completely on my butt
Starting point is 00:20:44 and we've never had a flu ticker. We've never had anybody talking about flu is more likely to kill children. We never made children wear masks during flu season. I just saw kids running. I'm talking more likely. I just, I rented a house in California and we're driving to get breakfast
Starting point is 00:20:59 and me and my producer and we see high school kids running in masks and it was very odd. Like they're at gym and they're running outside in masks. That's when I go, this doesn't make any sense. I understand you're in a crowded place. You wanna wear a mask, whatever. But running outside a mask, it does feel cultish and weird.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Yeah, it's just weird, especially because the statistics are in. The kids are more likely to die of the flu. So why weren't we masking these children every flu season? And it's because it's all about the psychological trauma of seeing a child in a mask and we're all in this together. All of this like commie type rhetoric. We're all in this together.
Starting point is 00:21:37 It's your, it's your global family now. Don't have Thanksgiving with your family. We're all a part of a global family. I'm like, I don't care. You could say something to me a million times. I am a pretty strong-headed, bull-minded. I'm gonna be with my family. I'm not gonna mask my family.
Starting point is 00:21:52 In fact, I have a strict no mask policy in my home. So I respect how you wanna live, you know, run your home. You're not allowed to wear a mask in mine. And that's just, my kid's gonna grow up like a normal kid. He's gonna breathe. So if you have an issue with that, then you can hate Candice. He's doing a club.
Starting point is 00:22:08 He's got people out there that do. Do you think, do you think there's any chance that Trump pulls this out? I do, 100%. Really, Candice, really? Yeah, I think the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has, I have been talking about the fact that this election was gonna end up
Starting point is 00:22:23 in the Supreme Court since February. You can go back and watch my interview with the Daily Caller. It might've been early March. And I have said, this is the most rigged election, just looking ahead at what was down the pipeline in terms of how we were fundamentally transforming our society.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I expected there to be a lot of fraud. And I expected that Trump would appeal to the Supreme Court. So at the end of the day, this is gonna come down to whether or not they are able to prove, and not just prove, but be able to communicate what they are saying about the fraud. I am sorry. I don't care if you're on the left, if you're on the right.
Starting point is 00:22:55 If you believe that Joe Biden secured the most votes, like that, that there was more energy for Joe Biden than there was for Barack Obama in 2008, you're kidding yourself, right? Well, what did the argument be that it was an anti-Trump vote? Nobody was excited about Biden, but they were anti-Trump.
Starting point is 00:23:11 No, it wasn't. It wasn't an anti-Trump vote. We know that 30% of people didn't even bother voting. So despite the fact that we are completely submerged in politics, not all of America is, right? So for me, it's every day, it's day in and day out. But I also know that my cousins that live in the projects couldn't give us stuff about anything that I do.
Starting point is 00:23:30 And my cousins, literally, I went to eat with one of my cousins, her name's Mia, and I was talking about Brexit, and she was like, what's Brexit? I want to hang out with her. I want to hang out with her. I'm sick of the LA, everybody talking about politics. I want to go hang out with your cousins in the projects tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:23:46 And I said to her, I said, Mia, it's, you know, the Brits left the European Union, and she goes, what's the European Union? Yes. And I was like, I love you. Yeah, I love her too. I love her too, by the way. I want to go hang out with her.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Do you, what explains, and I mean, you have a huge part of this. I think I tweeted that. I said, Ken, this all is a huge thing. Now, the black conservative movement is very, no, it's not covered by the media at all. And you're the biggest voice in it, but there's tons of people out there,
Starting point is 00:24:12 Coleman Hughes, whatever, a lot of different people. And the media ignores this, like it's not happening. And some of the most interesting conversations that are happening online are black conservatives that are talking about American policy, and disagreeing, and it's very, very interesting. Trump made gains with minority voters. What do you think explains that?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Because we've had the most strenuous year for race relations, probably, that I can remember. And Donald Trump, who's a very volatile figure, gains with minority voters. What would you attribute that to? People will like me, independent voices. People are not buying anymore, and goes back to what we talked about earlier, the fatigue of victimhood.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I mean, if you weren't tired of being just black this year, when everything, oh, you're struggling, just being black, I mean, at a certain point, I kept saying, black America's gonna wake up to this game. You can't just keep doing this every four years, and popping around, and then black lives matter, black lives matter, disappearing like a magic act, and then jumping back in for the next election cycle.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Eventually, black people are gonna get smart. And that's what's happening. We're having conversations, we have our own platforms. This is the reason why the left is ignoring us, but at the same time, pushing for social media censorship, because it's problematic when people like Candace Owens can gain millions and millions of followers, and they are no longer relying on the mainstream narrative
Starting point is 00:25:43 about race, right? They have another option, and that option sounds a lot better than waking up every day, and being miserable, just because of the color of your skin, and seeing yourself as a victim. It just feels better. I have a better product, right? You get to go out and be happy and live your life,
Starting point is 00:25:57 and you can do anything you want, because this is the greatest country in the world, versus you are a victim, permanently a victim. Your life is gonna suck forever because you were born with brown skin. But I think it would be fair to say that black people face a different set of challenges than white people, in many cases, right?
Starting point is 00:26:17 And that- In what way, specifically? Well, I think that if you look at where I grew up, I grew up in Long Island, and Long Island, a lot of my friends were able to inherit homes because their parents got loans after World War II, or their grandparents got loans after World War II to buy these houses, and they created the suburbs. I think a lot of black people were excluded,
Starting point is 00:26:38 not only from those loans, but also from those communities, like realtors that showed black people houses would be threatened, and it was like, so the suburbs and the house, which seemed like the engine of wealth for a lot of middle-class families, right? Building equity in something, ownership. If black people were excluded from that,
Starting point is 00:26:56 so I feel like there is a little bit of catch-up being played, certainly. There's not, because that doesn't explain or account for the reason that black Americans, during my grandfather's time, did better than black Americans during my father's time. So that defeats your entire argument, right? Well, what do you mean- There was more ownership.
Starting point is 00:27:11 So what happened from the 1950s through to the 1970s that black Americans became more impoverished, owned less homes, and became more reliant upon the government structure? And the truth is, is we married the government, welfare. And now, whether you wanna argue whether or not that was strategic, and whether it's the fault of the government
Starting point is 00:27:32 in Lyndon Baines Johnson, for reposing the Great Society Act, which is what married black women to the government, that's an argument you can have, but you can't say, it's because there's this long-standing, black Americans just couldn't break away. If you look at the 100 years following slavery, black Americans did well.
Starting point is 00:27:48 The fact that black Americans performed better economically under Jim Crow laws than they are doing today, you just cannot point to a systemic racism. It has to do with choices, the choices that we made to marry the government, and the fact that we cannot outthink this government structure,
Starting point is 00:28:03 that black Americans still believe in the victimhood and will take the handouts, that black Americans will take to the streets and demand AOC right now is saying, we need to make sure black and brown people the government pays them to stay home. Well, hello, welfare policies that were the first in that couple of black America in the first place,
Starting point is 00:28:20 that they're being reintroduced right now under COVID-19. So I always say right now, we have a choice right now if we're gonna give another 100 years to black poverty by all the saying, yes, more government handouts. We don't need government handouts. That's the biggest issue is more and more and more from the government. The government is not our parent,
Starting point is 00:28:36 it's not our mother, it's not our father. It was an attack on the black family. But if we don't wake up to that, we're never gonna get ahead. Black people make the worst decisions out of every group in America. And you can compare us to, who was the most successful group in America?
Starting point is 00:28:52 That's not white Americans. So your argument about white Americans as an Asian, it's Asian, I forget who it is. Is it Asians? Some Asians, Indians do well, Indians do well. I'm Irish, we have it done great. Yeah. So nobody wants to talk about Asians
Starting point is 00:29:12 because it defeats all the arguments for why people had it easier because no one's gonna say Asian people during World War II, Japanese people were in internment camps. Right, well that should be the title of your- Right to vote white Americans today. The title of your next book should be Nobody Wants to Talk About Asians by Candice Adams.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I know, exactly. Yeah, I do understand, but as a white person, I would say to myself, I was a druggy, I drove around, I did not get pulled over nearly as much as my black friends. I feel like they, 100% are more likely to get pulled over, are more likely to go to jail. And we're doing a lot of the same things, right? I was irresponsible, reckless human being.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And I just feel like I maybe had, I definitely had certain advantages that put me in a better position versus a kid, just the idea that I had money for a lawyer. So if there's a black kid who got caught smoking a blunt and went to jail and he went to jail and my parents could maybe get me a lawyer to get me out of it,
Starting point is 00:30:12 that to me is it's easier being white than if that's the- I see, but here's what's wrong. You just brought up a good point and then you racialized it. Okay, rich people, yes. Economic privilege is a real thing. It didn't happen because you're white, right? So it didn't matter, if you think that puff daddy's son is not going to be better off being pulled off
Starting point is 00:30:32 if he has pot, right? Then some poor white kid, you're wrong. But you've accepted the argument that it's because of the color of your skin, not because of your economic circumstances. It's because of your economic circumstances. Oprah Winfrey doesn't have any offspring, but I'll guarantee you that if they ever gotten into trouble,
Starting point is 00:30:45 they'd be able to get out. Malia and Sasha Obama, who we know like to smoke pot, good for them, they're enjoying their teenage years, right? They are not going to go through the same things that a poor white trash kid is going through. Stop racializing it, saying rich people have more privilege. Do you think we should-
Starting point is 00:31:01 That's common sense. Do you think we should legalize weed so that we don't have this crazy drug war that's putting people in jail? No, I mean, listen, I have to think through those arguments more because I do think that first and foremost, I think conservatives that pretend like pot
Starting point is 00:31:18 is the worst thing in the entire world are just completely crazy and out of control. But the issue is the slippery slope argument, and we know that's true because right now in California, what are they doing trying to, with heroin and methamphetamine, they're trying to make it so you just get a ticket and keep going.
Starting point is 00:31:36 So the problem with the left is that you never just stop at one thing. You're not like, okay, you legalized pot and they're going to be done, right? They're like already in California pushing for decriminalizing methamphetamine and heroin. And this is now an argument that we have to fight. So it's hard to find what the right answer is
Starting point is 00:31:52 when you know that it's never enough to do one thing, meaning a couple of years ago, it was all about just gay marriage, just gay marriage. I mean, the second the Supreme Court passed gay marriage, we were on trans rights and it's been shoved down our throat. And now we're at kids picking their gender and bathroom signs need to be all inclusive
Starting point is 00:32:10 and men named tampons in their restroom. So I mean, I don't know where I stand on it completely because I understand- But isn't there a little bit of a, you know, this is a slippery slope argument, certainly makes a lot of sense. But isn't there so much pain happening because of nonviolent drug offenders being in jail
Starting point is 00:32:28 for so long, it's disproportionately affected, people that are, as you said, economically disenfranchised, lots of them happen to be black and Hispanic. I just feel like there's so much pain, there's so many real world consequences to that particular law that we should, especially when it is legal- We can decriminalize it.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Yeah, it is legal in certain parts of the country and people are becoming millionaires. Yeah, okay. So we can decriminalize. Decriminalizing is different than saying making it legal. And I agree with you. I think we spend a lot of time, you know, the idea of anyone being in prison for smoking pot
Starting point is 00:32:59 is just ridiculous. Now, where are you? Where are you? Are you strictly pro-life, no abortion, no matter what? See, I don't know. We don't know where Candace Owens feels about every single issue. Are you like 100% never can have an abortion
Starting point is 00:33:14 or is there any gray area with you? The problem is that there's no gray area with the left, right? So I'm pro-life, I'm unapologetically pro-life because I understand now, as someone who used to be pro-choice, just how brainwashed you are as a young girl in school about abortion. I mean, until I was 25, I thought it was just a clump of cells, which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I mean, that's just so that's fundamentally teaching you that abortion is birth control and that it is the responsible thing for you to kill your child. And when I actually understood the history of abortion and studied Margaret Sanger and understood that it was actually a eugenicist movement where people were trying to get rid of black people
Starting point is 00:33:55 having any offspring. And when you look at the numbers and you realize that it is black Americans that are giving disproportionately, the black population would be doubled today if it wasn't for abortion. That's a scary thing to even say. And that these clinics are being put strategically in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I have an issue with what abortion was designed to do and the fact that it's been largely successful by Margaret Sanger through and through is just as an American success story. She wanted to make sure people that were black and brown as well as immigrants from Eastern Europe were not able to have any offspring. So I have an issue because I'm educated about it.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And I think the thing that bothers me so much is I know that the other argument as well, all of these people having kids, unless you're gonna take care of their kids, first and foremost, it makes it seem like people cannot be responsible at all. You remove responsibility from the person. And we know that the majority of people
Starting point is 00:34:48 are not getting raped. That extreme argument of like, well, you know, what if you're raped and then you get pregnant and now you're forced to have this killer's kid, the left has to rely on that because the majority of the time you know it's not raped, it's just people being irresponsible and then deciding that they want to get it.
Starting point is 00:35:02 But there's a lot of people that are like, okay, we don't want abortion. Cause I understand pro-life people, I'm pro-choice because I don't want to tell somebody else that may have had an experience, whether it's rape or not, that they don't want to carry a child to term. I don't necessarily think it's my position
Starting point is 00:35:18 to tell them that they have to do that. But then there are people that go on the right, they go, no contraception, no plan B, nothing, nothing. I don't believe in that. Okay, you need, there needs to be some, you know, I don't like late term abortion, I think it's, but at the end of the day, I feel like, you know, there seems to just be a, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:42 like unwillingness to imagine that we're living in a society where people do have other moral codes. So not everyone's gonna have the moral code that you do. Not everyone's gonna have the moral code that whatever that I may or at the end of the day, it's like, I think that we need to figure out a way to exist in a society where people can have different beliefs. And as long as they're not infringing on your ability
Starting point is 00:36:07 to live happily, then they can kind of live as long as they're not compelling you, you know? Candice, you froze. Candice, we lost you. Sorry, I just do not accept you talking about abortion when I'm eight months pregnant. Yeah, I was just, I was just about to say, I said, I, you know, it's just one of those problems.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Recently we moved our show to CIA.gov and they promised that there would be nothing that they would do, but they said, we're gonna leave the show as is. CIA.gov is where you can find the Tim Dillard show now. But that's my thing is like, we're all, you know, we're all living in a society. Everyone's gonna believe different things.
Starting point is 00:36:44 And I think that we should all try to, we should try to respect each other. I know that that seems like a crazy statement, but I feel like, you know, people shouldn't infringe on each other's freedoms if at all possible. Unless it's something absurd. So let me, let me just say something to you. And I'm gonna bring up what I said earlier to you.
Starting point is 00:37:02 So I said earlier to you that, you know, the stuff about women being men, it wasn't the thing that they pushed when we were in school, right? And that's the thing now, the younger generation is grappling with, they're being told women can be men, men can be women. Well, our generation was actually,
Starting point is 00:37:15 what was pushed upon us was sexual freedom, right? So if you were millennial, the whole concept, it's just a clump of cells, everybody's having sex. All of this stuff was basically stuff down our throat, the generation before didn't get that, right? So you, your perspective on abortion is actually you being a product of your own generation.
Starting point is 00:37:32 And the way that I learned about this, and it's a really good book written by Thomas Sowell called Inside the Education System, the dog mobilized the deception. He talks about this push. Sounds like a fun read, like a light fun read. I mean, I love Thomas Sowell, but he talks about this push for, you know, sexual freedom and everybody's doing it.
Starting point is 00:37:52 But isn't, aren't we all products of our generation? Like, isn't the idea that you, my, me being okay with you voting means I'm a product of my generation too, right? Yeah, no, there's always some good things. And for what I'm saying is that your perspective and what was my perspective, so I'm not even calling you out on it.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I agreed with you, you know? It's what they, there's something that they give to every generation and we became the like, yes, sex, it's whatever, it's a woman's body, my body, my choice. I mean, that was the poison that was taught to us and that I've kind of reversed that with the exception that I don't,
Starting point is 00:38:24 now I'm also not the person that goes around and a woman got an abortion and calls her a baby killer or believe it, I don't believe that's helpful dialogue. I believe that everyone can be educated and you can decide to become educated later about something like I did without being vicious towards people that have made different decisions in their life with the information
Starting point is 00:38:43 that they had available at that time. Now, in terms of the police, cause there does seem to be an issue here with the police and the black community. This is from what I've casually observed. How would you address this issue? Yeah. As somebody that we make Candace Owens president tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:39:00 what do we do? Do we demilitarize the police? Do we de-incentivate? No, we don't. Well, isn't there a way to demilitarize them because I'm not saying defund them, but do we need for the police to be like stormtroopers running around the country, kicking down doors
Starting point is 00:39:15 because somebody might be smoking a joint? There's gotta be a way to rein the police in a little bit. No? Let's be clear. The police are not kicking down your door because you're smoking a joint. Okay. So that is like, that's like left is a fantasy land. Like I just smoking a joint
Starting point is 00:39:31 and the police always just kicked down the door and because they're just like military right now. Like, come on, that's ridiculous. Like maybe you're a drug dealer and you happen to be smoking a joint and the police came at that moment, but let's be real about that. Secondly, I have this crazy idea.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm just smoking a joint, man. You stay in here, guns are waving. But what I will say, I'm a big believer in teaching your kids to respect police officers. So if somebody can point to me to the case this year
Starting point is 00:40:03 where the person who we saw being, you know, aggressively pursued by the police was listening to the police officers instructions, then I would say, okay, maybe we do have an issue with police officers. Every single case that is brought to the public forefront, the thing that never gets discussed is why couldn't this person listen to police orders?
Starting point is 00:40:22 And I mean, we're not talking about like the police snapped on the, I'm talking the police officer is saying 18, 20, 30 times, giving them an instruction and they don't do it. And they keep coming towards the police officer. A police officer's life needs to be protected too. And these people are crazy. What we saw in Philadelphia with that guy, Walter Wallace
Starting point is 00:40:40 wielding a knife. I mean, and still Black Lives Matter protested and rioted and looted and because he was shot and killed as he should have been shot and killed because he tried to kill police officers. The problem is that we have arrived suddenly into a society where people do not believe
Starting point is 00:40:55 that they have to respect adults period. And this is what happens when you have an entire generation of people who have grown up without fathers in the home, you know, the idea of listening to any type of authority feels to them to be like an assault. Why should I have to listen to a police officer? Why should I have to listen to my teacher? Why should I have to listen to my guidance counselor?
Starting point is 00:41:12 We have an authority issue in this country in terms of having basic respect. And it's not a hard request when a police officer pulls you over, I've been pulled over, I listened to his instructions. That's the first thing. Right now you have parents teaching people you don't have to listen to police officers' instructions
Starting point is 00:41:28 if you are Black. But when we look at it- And that is going to lead to more Black death. When we look at a lot of these videos, we see incidences where police seem to be using excessive force, right? Now the most extreme example is George Floyd who lost his life.
Starting point is 00:41:42 But then there's other examples where we look at the videos and we go, wait a minute, what in God's name is happening? Why are the cops doing this? Why are they sitting on a guy? Why are they cutting off his airway? Like can't, shouldn't cops be trained to basically get someone in cops
Starting point is 00:42:01 and then put them in a police car and not use a lot of these techniques that they're using, whether it's a choke hold or something where you can do serious damage to somebody. Wouldn't that be good to kind of do more training? I mean, more training is not a bad idea, right? For the police? I'm just saying, when has a cop done a choke hold
Starting point is 00:42:18 on somebody without asking them to first abide by basic instructions and let's use George Floyd as an example because they refuse to release the full tape and its entirety until it leaked to Daily Mail some eight months after the riots had stopped, right? He was asked to get in the vehicle. He was already in cops and was asked to get in the vehicle. He resisted getting in the vehicle
Starting point is 00:42:39 as he was standing and was already cupped. Said he was claustrophobic and didn't want to get in the vehicle and asked to be put on the ground, right? This is after they had gotten him from a car. So we knew he wasn't claustrophobic when he was in the car trying to get rid of his fentanyl, right? Then they try to put him in the police cruiser and he starts saying, I can't get in there
Starting point is 00:42:55 I'm claustrophobic saying I can't breathe as he's standing up, right? So once again, we have a situation where we're so keen to say what police officers could have done differently. What can human beings, you know, people that are not police officers do, follow basic instructions. Well, we gotta imagine that the cops are not
Starting point is 00:43:12 to put you in a chokehold. Right, but the job of a cop is you're dealing with people when they're not at their best, right? Now I have people that I know that are cops that tell me our job is, if we're at a situation, you're already dealing with somebody that's not at their best. They might be drunk, they might be on drugs.
Starting point is 00:43:28 They're basically, this is not the best moment of their day. And I just think that it can't be like, hey, abide by me or the immediate next step is chokehold. There does have to be some value in de-escalation training or we cannot stand on someone's head. I'm sure you agree with the George Floyd, you know that. Like what they did to George Floyd was murder, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I agree with that. And I've said that over and over again. I didn't have to end in that situation. Even though I do feel it's important to point out that George Floyd by his, you know, according to his death record, he did not die from a chokehold. He died from a fentanyl overdose.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Okay, I'm sure the chokehold didn't help. I'm sure it didn't help, but he was not restrained in a way that stopped his breathing. No, I'm just, okay. A media misrepresentation that should be clarified. But regardless, I don't think a police officer should be on anybody's neck for nine minutes. And so I will agree with you on that assessment.
Starting point is 00:44:17 But what I also am disagreeing with you on is the idea that this is the standard across police officers. You know what I mean? I mean, millions and millions of arrests every single year and we're talking about 20 of them that go wrong. All right, and nine black men where the situation went wrong this year down from what Obama was in office.
Starting point is 00:44:39 So we're hyper-focusing on an issue. Nine arrests that went wrong in all of 2019, despite 2020, despite all of these arrests. And why are we doing that? Human beings are not perfectible. So you're never gonna be able to beat that amazing number of nine going wrong, right? But, and this is the reason why we know the names
Starting point is 00:44:58 of every single black person that has ended in an unfortunate circumstance with police officers because it doesn't happen often. So we're able to know every single one of their names. And, you know, again, I believe in personal responsibility and accountability. I think police officers are treated horribly more often than the other way around.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And the data and statistics back up my point. Police officers are killed by black men 18 and a half times more than black men are killed by police officers. So now you're putting the honest on police officers to be even nicer, even though they're 18 and a half times more likely to end up dead than the other way around. No, it doesn't work that way. It's a dangerous job.
Starting point is 00:45:33 It's a dangerous job. And it's one of those jobs where I think like a nurse, like I joke around about nurses now that are yelling and screaming on Facebook about how tough their job is. I get it, it's a tough job. But when you were a nurse, you also signed up for the idea that sick people
Starting point is 00:45:47 were going to come into hospitals. This is part of what you signed up for. So I just feel like with cops, like they signed up for a job that was potentially deadly. It was very dangerous. And they are not the ones complaining and protesting. Right, all right, and she's, you know, but listen, sometimes they complain when you do,
Starting point is 00:46:05 when you ask them to, you know, potentially, you know, you know, like take a look at their behavior or their culpability. I've heard cops just like rejected out of hand, but I've heard other really smart people go that our police go, listen, there should be more de-escalation training, right? There should be more training.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Cops should be able to use other tools other than a physical hold immediately or a choke hold or something like that. There should be more psychological training. They don't do that immediately. I hate when people say that because they don't do that immediately. That is not an instinctive a cop.
Starting point is 00:46:40 It has not been the instinct in any of the police videos we've seen even this year to assess. It always escalates that situation after a long period of peace. Again, the George Floyd video was not nine minutes. They were dealing with him for almost 30 minutes. Trying to get him to get out of the car. Sir, can you please come out of the car?
Starting point is 00:46:57 So, you know, it's so easy to be perfect in the retrospect and say, here's 18,000 different things you could have done. But when you're dealing with a violent criminal, especially big violent criminals, George Floyd was huge, right? Who can hurt you? The Rayshard Jackson, Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta, they were so nice to him.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Sir, can you please get out of the vehicle? You're sleeping at a Wendy's, blah, blah, nice. Can you turn around? We're just gonna cuff you all this stuff. Yes, you're right about that. Can you please, officers? Oh, so let's look back at the tape though, Tim, and go, well, here's how they could have been escalated.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Right. I mean, I did feel that. That guy was asleep at a Wendy's. That guy was asleep at a Wendy's drive-through. Yeah, that guy was asleep at a Wendy's drive-through and I've been there. But when you're woken up, you just have to have the cops go.
Starting point is 00:47:42 You just have to leave. I've been asleep at a Wendy's drive-through. So going forward on a positive note, does Candace Owens ever run for office? Oh, this is the first time I've gotten this question. No, you get it all the time. I do, I do. Listen, I do not have any plans
Starting point is 00:48:00 to run for office at this moment. What an answer. You know everybody, people are saying Candace 2024. I've seen that on Twitter. Maybe. How about that, maybe. They view a rubber bag. Any, well, by the way, you are really,
Starting point is 00:48:18 what's amazes me about you is you have a great sense of humor. You're always willing to have a discussion. You're a fan of good comedy. I think that the world would be a better place if more people had your attitude. Not all of your attitudes, but the one about open dialogue and open discussion.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And I wanna congratulate you on being a mother. Thank you. I'm excited about that. T minus six weeks. And I'll be a mom. Are you gonna be softer when the baby comes out? Does Candace Owens go a little softer when she's a mom? You know, I think that the idea that Candace Owens
Starting point is 00:49:05 is super hard now is more of a media caricature. I'm actually quite nice, very funny. It's the number one thing people say about me when they meet me in person is they're surprised how much of a sense of humor I have. And it's because the media has built me up as this like, oh, you know, person like 300 style all the time. So yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:23 When you go out, do people recognize you and are they friendly for the most part? Yes, people recognize me everywhere I go. And yeah, they're always friendly because leftists, unless they are, you know, planning to be in a group of 300 Antifa supporters are fundamentally coward. So if they see me and they don't like me, they shut up.
Starting point is 00:49:42 You know, you're not gonna approach Candace Owens and be like, I think that's gonna go well for you. I don't give off the energy that I'm gonna be one of those like, oh, please leave me alone. You know, I'm like not playing this game. I'm not like, I'm not afraid of a little Antifa thug in an airport, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:55 Yeah, why didn't you even mean that? I just meant you go out to dinner in DC. Are these the people in the political establishment? Are they kind of like, hey, Candace is a potential ally. Do you ever like, you don't have to say who, are there ever people behind the scenes that talk to you that are, because you have a very big platform.
Starting point is 00:50:19 You have a very, you know, big reach. Is there anybody that's like, hey, we got to get Candace on our side? Well, no, I will say there are a lot of celebrities, A-list celebrities that I speak to regularly. And I think it would shock people. You know, Kanye's probably the only one that's been out public about his beliefs, but-
Starting point is 00:50:40 That would have shocked me because I live in Los Angeles and I know there's a lot of people that, you know, watch what you say and read what you write. And some of them- Have fake Instagram accounts so they can follow me and follow conservatives. Some of them don't agree with you
Starting point is 00:50:56 and some of them do agree with you, but they find what you say very interesting. Right, yeah, I think that that's kind of why I'm here is just because there's just been such a dogmatic approach to culture and to politics. And I just want people to think. And I also want to make it okay to be normal. Like suddenly normal people have to shut up all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Like it's like, unless you've got something going on, or you know, it's like, so I'm just like, listen, I'm a happy person. And it's like a lot of these people that are trying to be not normal are actually trying. Like they're not- They're trying. Artistic, they're not,
Starting point is 00:51:31 they're not like a genuine where you'd be like, oh my God, that person's a freak of nature. They're amazing. It's like someone who's truly trying to exist outside of this spectrum for no reason other than the fact that they don't have much going on. I mean, I know a lot of people that where it's like, okay, you have purple hair
Starting point is 00:51:49 and whatever, suppose you're non-binary, but let's be honest, you just work at GEICO. Like there's nothing wrong with it. You're just answering claims at GEICO. Or you're at Oberlin- It's not a press. It's just stupid. You're right.
Starting point is 00:52:00 They're just at Oberlin College. And they're like, I want to be interesting, special and different. Yeah, everybody wants to be a special little snowflake. And I get that. I mean, and you see that, of course, you sit in Hollywood so much too, where it's like, they're complicated for no reason.
Starting point is 00:52:15 That's what I mean. It's like, why didn't Harry Styles put on a dress? Because like there's nothing really wrong with Harry Styles, right? He's very talented, he's good looking, he's a great singer. So it's like, how can I just be controversial and put myself in some weird minority box?
Starting point is 00:52:28 I'm gonna be a man that wears a dress. Like, okay, we got it. You know, like Miley Cyrus, nothing wrong with being up with money, dad's famous, I'm going to shave my head and say that I sometimes look like Amanda woman. Okay, we get it. You want to be a special little snowflake, right?
Starting point is 00:52:42 But like, there's nothing wrong with you. Like, you know, and so I, I pull fun at them and it drives them crazy because they're trying so hard to be different. And it's just like, dude, just be fricking normal. It's fine. Like people will like you either way. You don't have to try to be so subversive all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, I mean, listen, the answer is if you want to be different, you want to be special, be Tim Dillon, be Candace Owens. That's all. Be Candace Owens, yeah. Tell everyone where to follow you if they don't already and they probably do. Follow me on the internet by my book, Blackout.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Yeah, Blackout is out. The book is out. Blackout by that. The Blegs it movement and you do any more live events or cause as soon as we can figure out what state is allowed to have human beings in a capacity where they're allowed to be next to each other. We're moving to Nashville.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Are you moving in that year? So you're going to move. I am. I'm moving in Nashville. I just did Zany's, the comedy club in Nashville and it was great. I did seven shows there. I saw that you were there that night. So that was the first,
Starting point is 00:53:40 that's when I bought my house that night. You were there. I was there and it was a great time and it's a great city. And I think you're going to love it. Yeah, I think so too. I'm thinking one more year in LA and then I might get out of here.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I might go to Texas. I don't know where I'm going to go, but it's just getting the amount of money we pay in taxes versus what you get. Yeah, it's stupid. It's like prison. It's just stupid. I'm like, why are you, why do you live there?
Starting point is 00:54:00 I say to all of you, I'm like, what are you doing there anymore? What are you, that eventually they're going to build walls to keep you guys in because I mean, everyone's fleeing. Well, Candice, and you're still holding on, last question, you're still holding on. You think you believe there's a chance Trump gets inaugurated again?
Starting point is 00:54:16 I mean, what a, that would be wild. Candice, that would be wild. I think it's going to the Supreme court. So I mean, but I've always thought that I didn't adjust my opinion after the election. You've been remarkably consistent the whole time. I will say that. This is where you do kind of win an award.
Starting point is 00:54:32 You have been like consistent the entire year about what you thought was going to happen and where it would go. Yeah, exactly. And we're here now. So I'm just like, you know, I think it's going to go to the Supreme court and we have the courts.
Starting point is 00:54:46 And by the way, if he wins, there's going to be a civil war. So hope you everyone's pro to A because this is not going to be, it's going to be an issue in this country because they all actually believe that Joe Biden's already the president elect. He's not, you know, it's just, he, Trump hasn't conceded. And so we'll see what happens. I, you know, I obviously, for the sake of the country
Starting point is 00:55:07 and us not getting swallowed by China's Belt and Road Initiative, I hope that Trump wins. I hope I pray that Trump wins. Well, if there's a civil war, hide that ring. That's a real rock over there. Put that in a vault if there's a civil war. I mean, that thing is, that is crazy. You've done well.
Starting point is 00:55:24 You've done well. And I, and I appreciate that. And if, and if things take a turn for the worst, you can always go to your cousin Mia and she can, she can sling that in the projects. You guys, you can buy three more houses. Trump who is what she'll say. Yeah. Trump who, I love that.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Candice Owens, thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate it. Thanks so much for having me on guys. All right. Thanks a lot. See you later.
