All right, you guys, happy Wednesday, but a little bit of terrible news because I just realized that we only have 10 episodes left of the podcast before I go on maternity leave. And I'm sad about that. I'm also somewhat concerned because who's going to look at, look after my cousin, Justin Baldoni while I'm away. I'm concerned about that.

Speaking of my cousin, a couple of updates, which we will run through today. The actor from It Ends With Us, who was name-checked in Blake's CRD filing, the initial one, for having imparted the trauma of her birthing scene. Well, he has just spoken out. It's good for Justin, of course. Also, Harvey Weinstein speaks. He is thanking me and Joe Rogan for speaking about his case. And he also shouted out Justin Baldoni. My cousin's bravery is leading the way, and Harvey has some regrets. I'll tell you what he said.

Lastly, House and Habits, Jessica Reed is back at it. She's claiming that me and Ian Carroll are going after her, and I'm a little tired of her gaslighting and lying to the people that subscribe to her. So I'm just going to allow myself to fully call her out for who she represents herself to be on Instagram versus who she is in public and in private. So let's get started. Welcome back to Candace. ♪

All right, let's just start with an open threat. Anyone that comes for Justin Baldoni while I'm on maternity leave, anybody who picks on my cousin is going to pay for it dearly when I return, okay? He is off limits, so do not do it.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, we do have a couple of updates that are working its way in his favor in the courtroom. It starts with the infamous traumatizing birth scene, or at least it was traumatizing for Blake when she was just kind of, you know, saying whatever, just really just writing, I don't know, fantasy series in her CRD complaint to make it seem like she was harassed on set. It's hard to do that. It's really hard to just make up stuff like that.

I want to first remind you what Blake claimed in that initial filing, because I feel like with the passage of time, we sometimes forget how utterly over the top and dramatic and dishonest she was in her descriptions about absolutely everything. So in the initial CRD complaint that was filed in California, sections 35 through 37, she claimed this, okay, quote, on the day of shooting the scene in which Miss Lively's character gives birth,

Mr. Baldoni and Mr. Heath suddenly pressured Miss Lively to simulate full nudity, despite no mention of nudity for this scene in the script.

her contract, or in previous creative discussions. Mr. Baldoni insisted to Ms. Lively that women give birth naked and that his wife had ripped her clothes off during labor. He claimed it was not normal for women to remain in their hospital gowns while giving birth. Ms. Lively disagreed but felt forced into a compromise that she would be naked from below the chest down.

When the birth scene was filmed, the set was chaotic, crowded and utterly lacking in standard industry protections for filming nude scenes, such as choreographing the scene with an intimacy coordinator, having a signed nudity rider or simply turning off the monitors so that the scene was not broadcast to all the crew on set and on their personal phones and iPad.

Mr. Heath and Mr. Baldoni also failed to close the set, allowing non-essential crew to pass through while Ms. Lively was mostly nude with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia.

Among the non-essential persons present that day was Wayfarer co-chairman Mr. Sorowitz, who flew in for one of his few set visits. Ms. Lively was not provided with anything to cover herself with in between takes until after she had made multiple requests.

Ms. Lively became even more alarmed when Mr. Baldoni introduced his best friend to play the role of the OBGYN, when ordinarily a small role of this nature would be filled by a local actor. Ms. Lively felt that the selection of Mr. Baldoni's friend for this intimate role, in which the actor's face and hands were in close proximity to her nearly nude genitalia for a birth scene, was invasive and humiliating.

Lastly, to add insult to injury, Mr. Heath approached Ms. Lively and her assistant on set and started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart. Ms. Lively thought he was showing her pornography and stopped him. Mr. Heath explained the video was his wife giving birth. Ms. Lively was alarmed and asked Mr. Heath if his wife knew he was sharing the video, to which he replied, she isn't weird about this stuff.

as if Ms. Lively was weird for not welcoming it. Ms. Lively and her assistant excused themselves, stunned that Mr. Heath had shown them a nude video. Wow. Wow. You forget how dramatic it was, terrifying it was, nudity, inviting people, open set, crews walking by, she's naked, she's in stirrups. I feel like I'm being tossed back to the 1920s here. It's terrible. The whole thing is terrible when you read it like that.

And the one thing I really do love about Blake Lively is that she does not allow facts to get in the way of a good time. Like, she was having fun when she collaborated with The New York Times and her lawyers on this piece and this kind of dramatic retelling. Because then when we were totally taken out of her fantasy, when Brian Friedman introduced the facts...

Things got a little different. Things changed very quickly. And the really unfortunate part about his facts that he presented is that we don't get to use Ryan Reynolds' wild imagination because there's apparently footage, high quality film footage. Because remember that part where they were shooting a movie, folks? Yeah, they have all the footage of what actually went down. And so Brian fired back and clarified that one, Steve Sarowich was absolutely not present, right?

when the birthing scene was filmed. Also, Blake Lively was never even naked. And they debunked that beginning at paragraph 83 in their amended complaint when they wrote back, "'Blake Lively's demand, as written, "'suggests nude or intimate scenes were filmed "'with a non-essential personnel present.'"

Later in her complaint, Lively alleges that during a scene, the birthing scene, she was mostly nude with her legs spread wide in stirrups and only a small piece of fabric covering her genitalia and that there were non-essential persons present. This allegation is knowingly false. To begin with, to describe Lively as mostly nude and naked from below the chest down is dishonest. Lively was wearing black briefs and a pregnancy suit that covered her midsection and her top was covered by a hospital gown.

Her legal complaint deliberately suggests that she was wearing a small piece of nude fabric glued around her genitalia by stating this is generally what female actors use to provide some minimal privacy without disturbing the shot, leaving the reader to believe that Lively was only wearing this small fabric. Lively was aware of this birthing scene as she was heavily involved in writing, rather rewriting the script and gave creative input for this specific scene, even against the director's creative vision.

Moreover, film footage clearly demonstrates that the set was not chaotic, as she alleges, and only essential individuals, for example, film crew and talent, were present for the scene and doing their jobs. Importantly, Lively knowingly and falsely alleges that the film's financier was present during these scenes and insinuates that he was watching her nude, which he had not.

No desire to do. He was not even on set during the filming of that scene. He arrived later, merely stopping by for a brief moment amid his busy business schedule and was present during the filming in which Lively's character spoke with a female OBGYN doctor, a scene in which she was fully clothed. By the way, I'm regarding Justin hiring...

one of his random friends to play the role of OBGYN, that allegation, so that he could, I don't know, cop perverted luck. Oh, come on, buddy. Come over to Blake Lively. She's nude. It turns out that the friend she's referring to was Adam Monchine. And he's not such a rando after all. And now he's the one that's speaking out. Here is Adam Monchine. And check out this headline in the Daily Mail. Blake Lively hit with shock twist as co-star turns against her in battle against Justin Baldoni.

Turns out that Adam Monsheen, who played Dr. Dunbar in the movie, is actually a...

an award winning Shakespearean trained actor with an MFA. That's a master of fine arts in acting from UCLA. Oh, totally random guy. And in addition to appearing on numerous hit television shows, he's toured nationally with a Tony award winning acting company, plus attended Oxford's acting program regarding what she was on a full scholarship. So, uh,

Yeah. And additionally, he was also a local actor. So Adam has come out and issued this statement regarding Blake's claims. He says, quote, I am not going to speculate as to Ms. Lively's motivations for mentioning me in the complaint.

Needless to say, my experience working with her is very different than the one that she described in her lawsuit. Indeed, I was surprised to read her description of the scene. Her costume included a full hospital gown, black shorts and torso covering prosthetics to make her appear pregnant in addition to whatever personal garments that she chose.

He also says that Blake, quote, never complained or expressed discomfort at any point because nothing unusual or improper occurred. It was entirely professional. Lastly, I was, in fact, a local hire. My wife and I are from New York and spend significant time there. As such, I, like any actor accepting that contract, was required to cover my own travel and living expenses in connection with the job, end quote.

And he had this to say regarding the upcoming trial. He's very much willing to share the truth under oath, telling the press...

If I'm called to testify in the case, I will answer truthfully and more freely whatever is asked of me with all the legal protection that affords. Yeah, I would say it's time for someone to check in on Megan Toohey of The New York Times. And someone actually did. It's TMZ. Her hashtag MeToo games seem to be coming to an end. It's really gross. I'm happy that this movement is coming to an end and that men are beginning to stand up for themselves. And even better, by the way,

That women are beginning to stand up for men who are being harmed by what I perceive to be utter witchcraft in the press.

It really is just a bunch of witches coming together and saying, we can just take down this person as a sport because we have the sympathy of people around the world. Women who actually lived through sexual harassment and sexual assault in these experiences will just instantly believe us, even though what we are is we're just we're just empowered and we're A-list and we can do whatever we want. It's basically a female gang, a female hit squad. Right. It's

Speaking of which, Harvey Weinstein is inspired by Brian Friedman and Justin Baldoni taking on The New York Times. And perhaps actually he's explicitly saying that he regrets that he didn't pursue that same legal route. Well, it was a different time, obviously, when stuff happened with Harvey Weinstein. He was the ground zero of the Me Too movement. But I want you to check out this headline that's coming from TMZ. It says Harvey Weinstein has told reporters,

Harvey Weinstein is saying that he feels for Baldoni because the New York Times did the same thing to him. They cherry picked info to fit their narrative. And it was, in fact, Megan Toohey. He told a reporter that watching Justin Baldoni take legal action against the New York Times and its reporters, accusing them of manipulating communications and ignoring evidence that countered Miss Lively's claims hit me hard. It brought it brought back everything I experienced when the Times reported on me in 2017.

And

End quote. TMZ then reached out to the director of communications over at The New York Times and also to Megan Toohey herself. So far, Megan Toohey is zipping it for once. She's just going silent as she should because she's a hideous person who should have her Pulitzer Prize revoked because she earned a Pulitzer by lying. And also,

I want to be very clear, again, as I am every time I discuss the Harvey Weinstein case, it is not like Justin Baldoni. Harvey Weinstein definitively abused his power and he cheated on his wife. And so he is an immoral man. But he is also sitting in prison for something that I believe he did not do. I believe he had consensual sexual relations. And then The New York Times, along with some other hit journalists from other publications, decided to cook up the Me Too movement and ignored him.

what I view to be a sculptor evidence, which are the emails, the long-term relationships that he had with these women, these women calling him love and dear and introducing him to their mother. I mean, it's that the Jessica Mann thing is just so crazy to me that she would introduce him to her mother, something so intimate and under no pressure to travel the world on his dime.

And we have to draw a line in the sand on the difference between what a sugar baby is and what a victim is. OK, because sugar babies are real. They find rich men. They find rich benefactors and they want them to bankroll their lives and they want them to get them into certain industries and

and to help them. And then there are people who are real victims of assault, who are asking for nothing, who were not there because they were looking for a trade-up in life or looking for connections or because they wanted to meet a certain producer or a certain director. They're not emailing people who have done horrific things to them, you know? And I'm just happy that we're able to foster that conversation. And I like that we have two different examples of men

One being Justin Baldoni, who is just so innocent, and one being Harvey, who definitely bears some blame because he wouldn't have been in that circumstance if he was not cheating on his wife, but who both share something that's really critical in common, which is that the media put a hit on them and were able to persuade the masses absent the facts which could have transformed things for him. So Harvey's new trial is coming up.

Obviously, we have been on that. He recently at his hearing yesterday thanked me and Joe Rogan for amplifying support as his health is deteriorating. Carvey has leukemia. He could potentially die in prison, which is totally crazy. And fortunately, that initial response

Verdict was overturned by the appellate court. So he has a new hearing coming up on April 15th. And he had this to say at his read at his before the judge the other day, he said, quote, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank Candace Owens for believing in me and helping me reach millions of new supporters and to Joe Rogan for amplifying that support even further.

I'm going through a tough time right now. My health is not in a good place and the road ahead looks challenging, but the outpouring of encouragement has truly lifted my spirits. I'm holding onto that hope and I believe it's going to help carry me through. It would just be insane if he died in prison for something that I don't believe he did. I mean, like it would just be crazy. And that's what I think we have to tether ourselves to understanding that we

What happened here with Harvey Weinstein, like it was criminal. It could have been that way for Justin Baldoni. It was civil. But what if what if she decided to make it criminal? What if it was a different time? What if it was the land of Me Too a few years ago could have made all the difference if people weren't more awake to the media manipulations? It's very scary to think that there could be people that are put in prison for things that they didn't objectively do.

And hopefully with this entire series and everything that we've done with Harvey Speaks and us covering the Justin Baldoni thing, we are starting to give a voice to different sorts of cases that should be reviewed. Just plain and simple should be reviewed. And we will jump back into the Harvey series, Jessica Mann's emails and the insane coverage.

L.A. case that they got him on. That one is even crazier than the two in New York. It's unbelievable. The court system is just unbelievable when it wants to deliver social justice and not real justice. And social justice is not real justice, as I'm about to show you, by the way, as we get into the funniest view that's happening plausibly ever. I literally can't stop giggling and I'm

I'm just really going to make fun of some people here who deserve it in a second. But first, I want to tell you guys about GoldCo. Over the last month, we have truly seen how much wasteful spending the last administration was doing. While the Fed has been working to rein in inflation, the broader economy is still feeling the effects, particularly in everyday items like food, housing and health care.

They have antipathogenic properties that stunt the growth of harmful invaders and even have the potential to slow down abnormal cell growth.

Do you know that over 60 million Americans have parasites? Yeah, that's pretty scary.

Okay, you guys, I have hilarity for you. I really do. Look, I told you many times that we are no longer a serious species.

I'm sad to report that we are no longer a serious species. We should stop taking ourselves seriously. I hope that if I have made anything clear to you throughout this podcast, it is that one simple fact. And there is no greater proof of that than what we have termed the woke Olympics. OK, now, in case you are not familiar with that event, you're not familiar with that means the woke Olympics. It's essentially people who bend over backwards to be considerate,

certain things to the point that they're just like lying and willing to do bad things only to find themselves completely ravaged by the very thing that they were being overly considerate about. OK, on the left, it was definitely you guys were very woke about race, very woke about racism during BLM. Like, I will do whatever. I just don't want to get called a racist. And it didn't really matter because you probably got called one anyways. But

For something as ridiculous as like wearing your hair in braids. Next thing you know, you were cultural appropriation. HR was calling you down saying, why'd you put your hair in braids, hey? And they were like, I thought it looked nice. Oh, you thought it looked nice? Hmm. I don't think you did think it looked nice, Jenny. I think there's something else going on.

You're a racist. On the right, we've kind of just like taken the baton and it is totally anti-Semitism. We just, everyone's anti-Semite. Yesterday, we told you that the woke brigade had gotten so crazy on the quote unquote right. It's really the neocons. It's the same people on the left and the right. They canceled Miss Rachel, who basically does Sesame Street for infants on YouTube. But she made the mistake of expressing grief for Palestinian children.

Well, I have an even greater story for you today. I didn't think that we could top Miss Rachel. You know, we've gone from like Adolf Hitler. Then we came inward and it was like, no, Candace Owens. And then we went to Miss Rachel. But by golly, we've topped it. It's glorious because the speed at which I am being proven correct on these matters is deeply satisfying for me. Last week, I got myself into trouble with people on the right because Trump endorsed a very clearly misconstrued

morally contemptible man for Congress simply because AIPAC wants him into office. OK, that man's name is Randy Fine. He is truly just on its face. He's a disgusting person, just disgusting. Look at him, Randy Fine.

And he's so disgusting that he doesn't even try to hide it. He openly mocks photos of dead Muslim babies on Twitter. These are real ex-tweets from him. I'm just going to show you a few of them just so you understand, like, this is who Trump got behind. Gaza must be destroyed, period. As if no humans live there. Palestinian is a code word for Hamas.

Bombs away. He doesn't care. Kill every last Palestinian. It's great. Here's another one from him. Palestinian is just another word for demon. He's writing this. I just want you guys to try to flip that. I'll go back to that one.

Flip that. Imagine if I was running for office and I wrote Jewish is just another word for demon. Jew is just another word for demon. Israeli rather be more precise. Israeli is just another word for demon. You would go nowhere in politics. But for him, Trump's like elect this guy. AIPAC wants him. OK, so he did that. Go on to another one of his tweets.

So blow up the schools. No mercy. He's just talking about blowing up schools where tons of kids have died. Tens of thousands of children have been murdered there. And he's at least honest about the fact that he doesn't care. And lastly, here's him responding when someone showed him a picture of a dead baby.

And he they asked him, how do you sleep? Right. He said they asked him supporting the killing of innocent people and babies and smearing voices that fight against genocide for some AIPAC money says a lot about your character. You should be ashamed of yourself, Randy. How do you sleep at night? He responds and says quite well, actually. Thanks for the pic.

It's just crazy. Trump literally tweeted last week or two weeks ago, whatever it was, vote for this guy. AIPAC endorsed. Now, let me tell you something. My grandfather, greatest granddaddy of all time. I tell you guys this greatest granddaddy of all time, who is no longer with us. But he always told me growing up that when people tell you who they are, you should listen.

So I strongly advised MAGA Floridians not to elect a psychopathic, deranged, homicidal man into office. But it was too late because Trump had spoken and people were, oh, you're going against the MAGA agenda. I don't know. Was MAGA pro-genocide? Pro just like murder? All Palestinians? OK, I that was I didn't get the memo.

So now let's enter Ron DeSantis into the story. This is where it gets excellent and hilarious. OK, so Ron DeSantis went woke on anti-Semitism a long time ago. I'm talking 2019. Governor Ron DeSantis signed an anti-Semitism bill, the CSCS HB 741 into law following a ceremonial bill.

And basically, he traveled all the way to Jerusalem to get this signed. I've never even heard of this. I've never heard of governors going to foreign countries to sign bills ceremonially that are supposed to impact their states. Anyways, he did that. He was joined at the ceremonial bill signing on Wednesday, March

by the bill's sponsor. I mean, by Wednesday, May 29th, by the bill's sponsor, Representative Randy Fine. Again, this is 2019, okay?

Then on April 28th, 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis visited Israel as part of his international trade mission, where he signed another House Bill 269 to provide law enforcement agencies with new enforcement mechanisms to punish perpetrators of anti-Semitic incidents and those who target religious communities. OK, so he's like big on it. He's like we're signing in bills specifically against.

anti-Semitism. You can hate everybody else. We could be racist. You can hate white people. But like this, we can't have. Here's a clip from a local news station covering that historic signing. Take a listen. Governor Ron DeSantis delivered the keynote at Jerusalem's Museum of Tolerance and seized that moment to sign a Florida bill criminalizing the kind of anti-Semitic acts on the rise. We're fighting back. Woo!

He grabbed it, headed for the airport and flew over here. Rep Randy Fine is the sponsor. You have no right to trespass and litter on someone's property. You have no right to graffiti someone's property. You have no right to block someone's access to their religious institution or deface it. So him and Randy teamed up. Randy Fine was also a part of redefining anti-Semitism to include some part to the Bible. I mean, we're talking super woke, OK? And Ron was cool with that.

What happens next, Ron, like I said, went so far. He went to a foreign nation in the Middle East, dude, literally put on a yarmulke. Like, I mean, like, he's like, listen, I love you, Israel. I will do anything. I will sign bills here for the state of Florida. You would think that all of this might mark Ron DeSantis safe from claims that he's anti-Semitic, but nobody is safe. That's not how woke works, okay?

Because now the recently elected Congressman Randy Fine, who Ron worked with to pass those laws, is implying that Ron DeSantis is a Jew hater and he's anti-Semitic. Check out this headline. It's just it's too delicious. It really is. This is in the Floridian. Fine suggests DeSantis targeting him and Rep Castle because they're Jewish.

The article reads that newly elected Congressman Randy Fine has fueled his ongoing political intraparty fight with Ron DeSantis by insinuating that Governor DeSantis could be targeting him and former Democratic turned Republican state rep Hillary Castle because they're Jewish. Oh, no. Oh, no.

My God, what happened? One minute he's at the wall. Now all of a sudden he's targeting Jews. Is Ron going to have to go to prison under his own laws that he's passing? What did Ronnie do? What did Ronnie do? You guys, he did the unthinkable. I'm going to tell you. Come in. I'll tell you what he did. He criticized Randy Fine and Hillary Castle.

who both happen to be Jewish. And so they're beyond critique, obviously. He criticized them by assessing why it is that Randy Fine barely won and basically said this man would not have won were it not for Trump's endorsement, which got him over the finish line.

Now, I didn't hear any anti-Semitism when Ron DeSantis said it, but I know how woke works. And just because I don't hear it doesn't mean that Ron DeSantis is not a raging Jew hater who should be anti-Semite of the year this year. So I want to put him up. Here's what Ron DeSantis said about Randy Fine that has earned him the ire of

and the suggestion that he too might be anti-Semite. Take a listen to Ron DeSantis. Just the way he conducts himself is somebody, he repels people. He's repelled people in the legislature. He's repelled, they wanted to get him out of the legislature. So they asked me to put him up for Florida Atlantic president. And I did, and the whole board would have resigned rather than make him president. And so now he's gonna be in Congress. I mean, like, you know, it is what it is. So it was unique problems with this candidate.

that was causing this to be a close race. And I think it was trending to be a lot closer. Then what happened was they put in a lot of money on the Republican side, $4 or $5 million in a Trump plus 30 seat. You shouldn't have had to do it, but they did. And then the president did a couple of teletown halls where he said, listen,

for my agenda, we need you to go out and vote. So I think the election day turnout was really good for a special election for republicans in the district. And I attribute that to President Trump's intervention. I think these are voters who didn't like Randy Fine, but who basically were like, you know what, we're gonna take one for the team. President needs another vote up there. Um, and so we're gonna do it.

Oh, my. I have. It's disgusting. I feel like I don't know. We should put something on this speech, a warning. It sounded exactly like Adolf Hitler. It's the purest form of anti-Semitism I've ever seen. I think the ADL should get involved. I think Ronnie needs to go to the Holocaust Museum if he wants to get his life back. I think this is despicable.

I think he should take it further. He's got to go to Poland. He's got to take pictures of himself. He just he needs to apologize because you are not allowed to criticize anyone.

A Jewish person, OK, without being accused. That's like what what is it to say next? Like say something about Bibi Netanyahu. What's he going to say next? Oh, like a Palestinian child's dying is sad. You watch yourself, Ronnie. You disgust me, Ronnie. I can't even believe it. It's wonderful. It's just like the Woke Olympics. Yesterday he partners with it and today it comes from him. Do you know why? Let me explain to you very slowly how Woke works, OK?

Have you guys ever seen the musical Little Shop of Horrors? It's a really old one. My mom's really into musicals, so we grew up watching Little Shop of Horrors. Anyways, it's about a plant. It sounds kind of weird. And it's a plant that needs a little bit of blood. It's a tiny little plant, cute little plant, and it only requires a little bit of blood to live.

And then the plant grows and it requires a little more blood to live. And this is kind of what happened to Ron DeSantis. Here's a live look at Ron DeSantis, who was running the little shop of horrors. Take a listen. Feed me, Crabbe. Feed me now. I can't.

Yeah. Must be blood. Must be blood. That's how it works, you guys. You feed it a little bit, you go, oh, it's a

bit of, I agree, I see racism, but the next thing you know, it's like, nope, I need to eat all of you. Must be blood. That's what you get, Ronnie. Don't care. Acting like a neocon, calling people anti-Semitic, signing in bills. Hope the plan eats you. I'm on Randy Fine's side. It's despicable. You disgust me, Andesantis.

You're kind of just absolutely every time you see these situations, by the way, where someone is being called a Semitic. I'm like, first they came for Candace Owens and people applauded. All I said was like genocide, no matter what happens, whoever's executing it is wrong. And they're like cheering it on. Now it's coming for everybody. Miss Rachel, the plant wants it, wants to eat Miss Rachel. The plant wants to eat Ron DeSantis. And I'm here cracking up.

I'm on the side of the plant. Eat them all. Because I didn't give it one ounce of blood. I said, I'm not getting down with the woke right. I'm not getting down. I wasn't down with the woke left. I'm not getting down with the woke right. I'm in this situation, a little shop of horrors. I want you to think of the dancers that come out and are excited while everybody's dying. That's me. Okay? Here's a clip of me. Stop the check in the middle.

That's me. That's me. I'm just loving it. I'm loving it. Tried to warn you. Tried to warn you last year. So there you guys have it. Moving on, by the way, speaking of also kind of the woke right, woke left, the Maha cope is pretty real. I love that too because that was pretty quick. Like, I feel like two weeks ago, people were like, oh, she's coming for RFK and she's telling lies. The next thing you know, like the next day, he's like pushing vaccines on people saying,

the exact opposite of what he said. And now people are going, oh, wait, maybe what Candace told us about the blackmail thing was real. Yeah, where should we begin? So this all kind of started accidentally when House of Habit had some sort of an emotional breakdown because I responded to a piece that she wrote which seemed weird and planted and which she was attacking people who, oh,

Oh, my gosh. Won't give the one ounce of blood and feed the ridiculous narrative that we can't criticize Israel being Tucker, me and Ian Carroll. Anyways, fast forwarding to today. Obviously, now the Maha movement is recognizing that there is something very wrong with this movement. What happened to RFK when he became Secretary Kennedy?

He's now saying the exact opposite. And not to mention, by the way, in terms of the entire vaccine schedule, if you asked me in my personal opinion, after all the research I've done, which vaccine I would be the most hesitant for parents to give to their children, it would be MMR. And that is the one that he is saying that he's now promoting after a 2021 book in which he did the exact opposite and said that the authorities and government essentially use panic to push these vaccines because what they want is profit.

And now there's panic in Oklahoma and he is doing exactly that. So it's crazy. Obviously, anybody with clear eyes is looking at the situation going, yeah, this isn't OK. We voted for you.

And so you have these influencers like House and Habit, Jessica Reed Krause, whose job it is to manage those people and to tell them not to believe their own eyes. Like literally, this is an act of betrayal, but don't worry about it because there's some big plan happening in the background. You'd be don't even react to it because him being the opposite of what you voted for.

It's problematic if you notice. Here's what she posted on Instagram defending RFK's overt 180. OK, she wrote regarding the continued attacks on RFK. And when she means continued attacks, she means people noticing that he lied. OK, I see these flashy YouTube attacks, she writes on RFK are continuing.

What is flashy? Even that right there, that descriptor, what is flashy about what we're doing when we read his own words versus his own words? Let's continue. Apparently, Israeli blackmail accusations are a popular spin. For anyone interested in a more practical alternative to clickbait analysis, I offer a dose of common sense on the following slide. So let me stop you right there, Jessica, okay? Because I

I don't love it when people are fraudulent behind the scenes and appear to be someone else. Like now you're his ardent defender when you are the very person who spoke about the things off camera, off your sub stack that you didn't want to become public. And that what the freak out was about. I mean, down to the details you have told people about bathhouses and Bobby Kennedy. So let me stop you right there because I have no time for liars. Let's see what you wrote on the next slide.

RFK has always sided with Israel. If you go back to clips and interviews from 10 to 15 years ago, he was saying the same things he's saying today. Mind you, the man who killed his father was Palestinian. Trump, too, has always been pro-Israel. This whole administration is. Yeah. So this shows you that what her writer said about her not doing any basic research when she writes her substacks and just going on a whim is exactly true because she doesn't even know that RFK Jr. does not believe that Saran Saran killed his father. OK.

OK, she doesn't even know basic research about RFK Jr.'s positions for getting on the vaccines, which is under 180 on, but also regarding Saran Saran, who he visited in prison and said that he did not believe he was the one who killed his father, because as I showed you in previous episodes, all the evidence points to the fact that Saran Saran was MKUltra'd and set up while somebody shot his father from the back. RFK Jr. obviously pursued that route. But I guess in the name of trying to, what, make further gaslight Maha Mom, she's like, a Palestinian killed his father.

OK, this is this does nothing to change anything whatsoever in terms of what we're speaking about. Let's let's continue. She writes his stance on MMR vaccines has been well documented in his own writings. No, he doesn't think vaccine combos are a great idea. Yes, he'll play the game to appease constituents in order to get things done and implement the changes he wants to make. He is choosing his battles wisely. Stop.

The battle that we quite literally got behind him for, for those of us who were vaccine injured, I was one of them, for the mothers whose children were vaccine injured, the women who spoke out and got behind him, the women who have been smeared, liable as anti-vax, as liars, the entire reason they got behind him was for this moment. You're basically saying there's a bigger picture than this moment. It's...

There's some bigger battle that's being waged. No, this is the big battle. Standing up to the government when the government does these sort of panic things and forces moms and parents to make medical decisions absent having all of the facts. He has now joined that side. No gaslighting is going to be allowed here. OK, people have a right to be concerned. Let's continue.

He's a smart man. He knows what he's up against. I know the game he's playing and I support him in this battle. Next, I would appreciate it. Okay, actually just saying I support him in this battle will kind of annoys me about that before I even read the next slide. It's just like,

Also, you hang out with his mistress, former mistress, and you pretend like you're this big supporter of the Kennedy family. That sickens me as well as like a sigh away from like the vaccine stuff. What are you doing? Like, again, who you are behind the scenes and who you try to represent yourself to be as a sub stack person. The gap there is driving me a little bit crazy. I think it's driving everybody a little bit crazy. OK, like I support him. I support. No, you don't support RFK, please.

Friends out there, if there's a girl out there who's telling you she supports you while she's hanging out with your husband and hanging out with your husband's mistress, this ain't your friend. This ain't your girl. OK, next.

I would appreciate if Ian and Candace would stop dragging my name into their ongoing blackmail theories. I reject it completely. Again, those theories, which came from a lot of other people, directly came from her. She's told many stories about him at bathhouses and has gotten very nitty gritty about the things that she knows. She's calling around it because I'm sick of everybody being fake in politics. The whole fake and gayness just needs to stop.

I spent a year of my life on the road shadowing Bobby Kennedy to make sure his character and his messaging were translated fairly. I support him wholeheartedly in his mission to shake up public health and medicine. And I believe most of the mothers following here do too. No, I think most of the mothers following did too and have a right to be asking questions about also your support if it's blind support.

And why you're not being honest with them about the things that you know about what's happening behind the scenes while trying to pretend that Ian Carroll and Candace, who you came for first and who responded to you, are problematic because we dare to tell people the truth about what happens when they elect politicians and they go to D.C.

And things that we can verify are true, plus providing them sources so they can follow along. Next, we have of all the people and politicians to attack right now, why so much focus on the one wanting and working to clean up our food, water and vaccines? Because we're wanting him to actually focus on that.

Yeah, he's not doing that. That's that's why I hope that answers your question. And do we have more? She said, I stand with RFK, which is just so woke and meaningless and ridiculous. I stand with RFK. Girl, you didn't even vote. You didn't even vote. And your excuse was like, I was traveling around. Girl, you live in California. OK.

You have to try not to vote in California. When I say try not to vote in California, I mean that dead people vote in California. Like if you die in California, you have to try not to vote like you can live for 200 years. I mean, you can be dead for 200 years and still somehow you will make it onto the voter rolls and you will be voting Democrat. And somehow you just couldn't do it. I mean, they're mailing out ballots to everybody. I could vote in California right now if I wanted to.

We're supposed to just believe that you didn't do it because you were too busy? Or are we supposed to believe that everything about your brand is proving to be fraudulent? Because what you care about as you try to disrespect people who do meaningful research, constantly calling us like, oh, they're podcasts. You're trying to make it flashy. No, we're actually taking tons of time to do a lot of research and provide a lot of literature, plus host book clubs to show moms and kids.

fathers, fathers and mothers, the truth, the reality, the situation, the world that we live in.

You just want to be a socialite. You just want to be a real housewife. OK, you don't do any research. You legitimately thought that I copied your Harvey series when nobody even knew who you were when you were covering the Harvey case. You literally said that because you couldn't conduct basic enough research to watch the first five minutes of my episode when I explain how the case came to me. Someone confronted me to do the case, not the other way around. Someone asked me to take a look at the case.

So if you're if you just want to be a socialite in D.C. and you just want to potentially get Andy Cohen's attention to become a real housewife who drinks too much and talks trash about people in her sub stack, then by all means, do it. But can you move out of the way?

So people who actually care and are invested in our children's future and people who recognize that for whatever reason, something happens when people go to D.C. where they abandon their mission, they abandon their very mandate. So those people, we can have those meaningful discussions without having to deal with you in the middle. That would be great. I would love that. That would be amazing.

And then, of course, she hit us with another round of Instagram stories. Always with Jessica has this thing where she goes, last thing I'll say, last thing I'll say. And I got to tell you guys, it's never the last thing she's going to say. It's it's just does not happen. But she's basically saying and you can pull these up.

It certainly seems Candace can't do an episode these days without it centering around me. That's just crazy. I mean, you're so self-consumed. We've done 200 episodes and I think three in which your name has been mentioned. And it's because RFK Jr. has done a 180 and you're the person who is defending him. OK, do not have a public stage in which you go after people and you gaslight people and then pretend like there's something happening to you when people comment on that.

My journalism is not for those that are seeking viral clickbait. I write for people who are invested in an authentic storytelling perspective. At least you admit it's a story that you're telling and it's not the truth. I am told not a single member of this cabinet will speak to her. So she relies on hearsay. I don't know what you're talking about. What cabinet person have I tried to speak to? Actually, I spoke directly to Donald Trump three weeks ago on the phone.

So what cabinet person have I tried to reach out to, Jessica? You just say stuff when you get upset and try to hurt people. That's what you do. And everybody can see that now. Everyone can see your game of I am told you pretend like you're some insider when in reality, you're just drunk and at a bar in D.C., okay? Everyone can see that.

Your life centers around who you know, not what you know. And that is what is problematic. People are invested in this for real reasons. I chose not to vaccinate my children because of the amazing research that RFK Jr. did. And what he's doing right now is he's burning all of those individuals who were inspired by him and really thought that he was going to shake things up and clean things up.

You're just a mean girl with access to the Internet, going after your former friends, Denise, going after their private lives, going after your private writers, pretending that somehow you have a right to do this because you're at Mar-a-Lago drinking. It's ridiculous. Come down from your high horse. You act like a 16-year-old girl who's had her first beer. Seriously.

Answer and respond to things meaningfully. Understand the criticism that people are levying against RFK Jr. and stop making it seem like it's always a personal attack when you are the first person who engages in lowbrow personal attacks because you can't deal with people calling you out for what you are, which is a desperate housewife. OK, that is your character. You are a desperate housewife who did not even vote in this last election. So.

Just going to put that in there, call you out because you are the one who has told everybody the explicit details about what they have on RFK Jr. And you trying to deny that is pointedly ridiculous or to pretend that you are a true ally to him because you're keeping those secrets from the people who read your sub stack, which would inform them on why it might be that he is doing this aggressive 180. So that's all I'm going to say about Miss House in Habits.

For now, until she responds, and then I allow myself the right to respond to her. All right, guys, also going to remind you about a couple of more of our sponsors on this show, namely Pure Talk, because you should not get suckered

Sam writes, Thank you, Candice. My husband and I are trying to start a family and A Shot in the Dark has been a godsend. We are for sure anti-vax gang gang. We need Auntie Candice loves me. Onesies, please. God bless. That would be so cute to do A Shot in the Dark onesies. And again, that entire series was inspired by the work that RFK Jr. did with the Children's Health Defense. So to see him

suddenly become such a coward and shake on those perspectives that illuminated so many people's lives is tremendously disappointing. Puerta Mex writes, congratulations on your baby. Remember, Real ID goes live in May. I feel like that is the beginning of the end of our freedom as we know it. The only thing that gets me by is knowing that in the end, God wins. Christ is king. That is correct. Do not lose that perspective. This is the problem with people that

chase politics and don't have God at the center of their lives is that if you don't have God, you don't have truth, you don't have substance. Sweet and Savory writes...

Hiya, chickie. I would love a t-shirt that blazed out Candace's cousin for all of us who support you and love you. Keep it real, sis. We got to wait for Justin to win this case in some capacity. Then we're going to have like a crazy merch day because we just cousin gang gang. I totally agree with you. Julianne writes, Candace, please look into the Karen Reid story. I'm both a boy mom and a girl mom. This case has completely blown my mind. It's so disturbing.

I really think it deserves your attention. New fan here. I will take a look at that during maternity leave. I'm happy to look at that. I haven't heard of it. Abigail Bower writes, to people saying they are sick of hearing this case, it covers so much of what Canada stands against, Hollywood toxic feminism and tying up the court with false claims. I enjoy her coverage of it. Thank you, Abigail. I don't know which case you're talking about. But yes, I have always loved legal cases. And so I always love

follow them. Alex L. writes, just found out my son's counseling enrichment class is teaching off the curriculum in a special group about racism. I hold educational rights and I am fighting this. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Yes, my sister was actually just telling me about the ADL creeping into the classroom of preschoolers. I mean, crazy stuff.

and teaching them about how like feelings matter more and how words can be dangerous. And it's just all a bunch of woke nonsense. And the fact that it just keeps getting younger and younger and younger in terms of who they're targeting with these educational programs, which are like Soviet conditioning programs, is terrifying. It's why so many people are turning to homeschooling. It's like you can no longer have any say in what's going into your children's bodies, what's

And also you don't get to have a reasonable say in terms of what they're trying to indoctrinate their minds with as well. And that's why, like I said, some people are going, wait a second, things have gotten out of hand. We totally need to take control back of our children. And that is the reason so many people got behind RFK Jr. Onward writes, Candace, it would be interesting to see you have on a Muslim guest to discuss Islam. I've wanted to do a religious series in general, like to speak about Islam

the Quran, the Talmud, the Bible to have to host some sort of a discussion. We just don't really have the space for that right now. But in the future, by the end of this year, we most certainly will. Obviously, you guys know like this is just a small podcast. We have a very small team that makes this happen every single day. And so we do have ideas of things that we'd like to do.

And I think that will start to put some of those ideas in motion for sure when I get back from maternity leave. Anyways, you guys, it has been great speaking to you about all of these subjects and reminding you that we have a new episode of A Shot in the Dark that's dropping today. It's actually episode 16, which is my third birth story. Oh, my gosh. I can't even believe that that is what he looked like. That is crazy. Wow.

It's just crazy how much they grow. He's a monster now. I wish I could show you guys an after picture of my third born second son right there. And I just can't wait to meet the new one. Wow. Gosh, you forget how small they are. It's absolutely incredible. Anyways, I always share my birth stories because I think it's always fun to hear them, especially if you're expecting and every birth story is different.

Also, if you guys want to buy merch, we have tons of merch on the website. You guys have really liked the Make Them a Sandwich line and the Anti-Feminist line. And we also have some new colors. We have to pull that for tomorrow. We have some dark blue ones that have also gone on sale, but you can just head to CandiceOwens.com and go down to shop and buy yourself some merch. All right, that's all we have for today. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye.
