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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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-
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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-
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
