Chapter 1: Why is Gwen Stefani being criticized for her faith?
All right, guys, happy Wednesday. Here's what I can say on both the left and the right. It seems that we have people that are playing a game of checkers and not chess. So to my liberals, who exactly are you winning over to your side when you attack Gwen Stefani for supporting a fellow Catholic because he's speaking to Tucker Carlson? OK, we're going to talk about that.
She's being attacked online for sharing an episode that was about faith. To my conservatives, I don't know who exactly we're winning over when we applaud the arrest or rather not the arrest, the detainment of a green card holder. Three days now, a legal resident of the United States for speech that we don't exactly like or agree with. That's what at least it appears to be on its face right now.
This is one of those fun episodes where no matter who you are, there's something for you to be offended about. So let's jump right back in. Welcome back to Candace. OK, so one of the many things that I miss about the 90s, you know, if you watch this show, I always say the 90s was the golden decade. Everybody was happy and saving up for Disney.
And there were a lot of comedians and comedians who were very offensive, right? They would get everybody into a room, people like Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, and it would make fun of every race and every person. And by the end of the standup routine, everyone was a little bit offended. And also was better for it, knowing that, OK, like you're not that special.
You don't deserve special considerations. And I'm kind of bringing that back. I feel that today both sides just need to be roasted for being a little bit ridiculous, starting with conservatives, obviously, because this has been trending everywhere. People that are looking for reasons to support Mahmoud Khalil's detainment. Okay, so we discussed this yesterday.
If you need to get all of the facts, depending on leading up to this moment, please go back and watch yesterday's episode. But essentially, he is a Palestinian green card holder, also a former student, graduate student of Columbia University, who was detained three days ago. That's important because...
He has still not yet been charged despite all of the rhetoric online, people digging up social media posts like we're in the UK, social media posts that are not attributable to him. We don't know who's running these accounts. Some of them have been doctored. Some of them are fake.
The Trump team and the Republicans are struggling to give a clear and concise answer as to why they were pursuing his deportation. Right. And that's very unusual. I want to be clear.
Typically, one of the things that you love about watching these press briefings is that whether it's Kayleigh McEnany or Caroline Leavitt, when the press comes to them with questions, they're able to slap them down with facts. And this time it just seems like we're getting emotion. OK. Any crime, any arrest, any reason that they had arrested him for breaking a crime would have sufficed.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding Mahmoud Khalil's detainment?
That's not clear. They distributed materials that she says are pro-Hamas propaganda. Someone within the group did that. Again, why aren't we arresting and using those individuals to set an example? So I would be very comfortable with that.
But she also reminds us in the beginning that it is the secretary of state that has the right to revoke a green card for any person that acts against the national security and foreign interests of the United States. So the argument is essentially, just to make this clear, terrorism is in the eye of the beholder. because it's going to change.
The definition of terrorism and the definition of what are our national security interests, that's going to change from administration to administration. And that is what makes me so uncomfortable about this.
And I want to explain that and also to offer something to you guys that is quite personal, but it is why I am just so enraged about this, because no one understands how slippery that slope can get better than me, okay? First and foremost, I am not immune from this discussion.
Let's not forget I married an immigrant, okay, who, like me, supports Donald Trump, who has supported Donald Trump through two, three elections. Now, we attended many Trump rallies, many Trump speeches. And there's one day that I will never forget, and that day is January 6th, 2020, because there was something that happened that sent a chill down my spine, okay?
On that day, I was nine months pregnant living in Washington, D.C. I was actually overdue. I ended up giving birth to my son seven days later on January 13th, 2021. Pardon, let me correct that. And I lived just a couple of blocks away from the White House where Trump was due to speak this, you know, save America, stop the steal, this whole thing that was gathering.
All of our friends were going to hear him speak. And naturally, I would have been a part of this had I not have been overdue pregnant. So it really was just a God thing that I didn't attend this rally. And what ended up happening, obviously, was suddenly I started getting all these phone calls. Are you OK? Are you OK? What's going on? And I'm like, yeah, I'm just home.
Like there's seems to be nothing going on. Next thing I know, I'm seeing images on CNN, MSNBC talking about how there's been this insurrection showing images of people pushing past police barricades. We're getting so much information, a lot of it, which wasn't even true. We're being told that
officers were killed, were bludgeoned to death, things that were clarified later that nobody even remembers were clarified as being wrong because it's all about selling the emotion on that day. And what followed thereafter was genuinely like the secret police, like I said to you guys yesterday. So we would have been in attendance.

Chapter 3: How does speech and censorship play into Mahmoud Khalil's case?
When she filed for divorce from Gavin Rosdell in August of 2015 after 13 years of marriage. She actually made sure to get that marriage annulled by the Catholic Church. It's something that you have to do because you're not actually allowed to get divorced. If you are a Catholic, you have to get that marriage officially annulled.
And she had reportedly put off the idea of marrying her fiance, Blake Shelton, until that annulment was finalized due to her religious beliefs. So she's a firm Catholic. And a source at that time told Page Six that it was, quote, a huge relief for Gwen because she wanted to get married by her priest and have the marriage recognized by the Catholic Church.
And then, of course, we know that her and Blake Shelton got married in a chapel on their Oklahoma ranch in July on July 3rd, 2021. I mean, she has bothered no one. Right. And so. So obviously, when you are a Catholic, you pursue Catholic content. It just kind of comes with the territory.
You know, obviously, especially if you're attending Mass, if you are a committed Catholic and you attend Mass every Sunday, as she allegedly does, you are going to pursue additional content. Jonathan Rumi, who played Jesus Christ in The Passion of the Christ, stopped by Tucker Carlson's program.
Not exactly anything that should blow your mind, given the fact that Mel Gibson, who created that movie, has been on Tucker Carlson and Tucker Carlson routinely has people on to discuss faith. which you may not know because maybe you've fallen for a caricature of who Tucker Carlson is. I can tell you from knowing him, he is one of the most genuine and wonderful people out there.
And yes, he has, similar to me, had the media paint him as this or paint him as that. I mean, he is a wonderful father. He doesn't even respond to emails and text messages because he just likes to be fishing out in Maine. And so it makes perfect sense that Jonathan Rumi would be on his show today. And, yeah, she tweeted after watching Jonathan Rumi on the show.
She tweeted, So this tweet was directed to Jonathan Rumi, not even Tucker Carlson. And, yeah. She people were really angry. I'll show you what people said to her. They said this to her. It's just in a row. You honestly need a reality check. God, this is heartbreaking. Like they don't even appreciate the fact that saying God is just kind of a little bit ironic there.
Oh, Gwen becoming a right wing grifter. Taylor writes, hard, ugh, normalize not promoting Tucker Carlson. Gwen, as a longtime fan, you're making it harder and harder to keep supporting you. Please don't platform Tucker Carlson, the Russian propagandist good lord. So glad you love the guy who plays Jesus, but do you realize you are also promoting Tucker Carlson?
Tragic Kingdom was my first CD at age 11. Hollaback Girl was my college anthem. You hosted a fundraiser for Barack Obama. Gwen, what has happened? knew she was a right-wing grifter when she started promoting a Bible app. The horror! Right-wing grifter because she's promoting for people to read the Bible. What is so horrible about that, guys? Somebody then writes, Gwen is in her Trump era.
