Chapter 1: What are the charges against Russell Brand?

0.329 - 19.54 Candace Owens

All right, you guys. Happy Monday. I hope you all had a great weekend. We have a lot to get into. I think we should definitely start, by the way, with Russell Brand. Did you guys see the news over the weekend? He's been charged with rape and sexual assault in the U.K. for incidents that are stemming back to 1999. I'm dying to hear what you guys think about that.

0

20.141 - 35.63 Candace Owens

It really comes down to, I think, an interesting debate that needs to be had about the statute of limitations, which do not exist in the U.K., hence the charges. All right. Also, Joe Rogan has paid us a massive podcast compliment. Sort of. He called me a monster, but in a good way, I promise you.

0

36.351 - 72.676 Candace Owens

And there is also evidence, circumstantial evidence, that Ryan Reynolds authored the infamous dragon text message. Remember Taylor, one of our dragons? I think Ryan Reynolds was the one who wrote that, and I'll tell you why. Let's get right into it. Welcome back to Candace. All right, so where should we begin? Let me take you guys back on a trip to 1999, okay?

0

Chapter 2: What was happening in 1999?

72.716 - 103.298 Candace Owens

Let's just all get into the time machine. I was 10 years old. The number one song in the United States was TLC's No Scrub. Take a listen. Yep, I know that that is now going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry, actually. This was a great time, great song. Also, Britney Spears, let's not forget, she was just beginning to top the charts.

0

103.459 - 127.855 Candace Owens

She came out with her first song, her debut song, Baby One More Time. Remember this? Man, that actually makes me sad. She looks so young, so innocent. So much has changed, gosh, in just 25 years. Britney Spears, you had to be team Christina or team Britney. Christina also came out that year with her debut song, Genie in a Bottle.

0

128.256 - 137.243 Candace Owens

Also, the number one movie or movie that had just come out, rather, it wasn't number one just yet, was The Matrix, which I feel like we're maybe living in right now. But remember this.

0

138.134 - 151.582 Morpheus (The Matrix)

You take the blue pill. The story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill. You stay in Wonderland. And I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

0

152.714 - 172.444 Candace Owens

Sometimes I really wish that I had just taken the blue pill. My life would be so simple if I had just taken the blue pill, but I kind of snorted the red pill. And here we all are. When it comes to technology, the internet was relatively new. Definitely a new phenomenon. We were using broadband and high-speed dial-up via cable modems. We all remember the sound.

173.104 - 190.725 Candace Owens

That was maybe not the best sound effect there, but you know what I'm saying, when you were trying to dial up and connect. And that was really just the beginning of the internet becoming widely available to everyone. And let's also not forget in 1999 that we were planning for Y2K, the apocalypse. Everybody was terrified. I was 10.

190.805 - 207.043 Candace Owens

I remember hearing so much chatter about whether or not the world was going to end. And for a 10 year old, that's quite frightening. So I was terrified. I just remember being terrified. Whatever reason, we thought we were like Cinderella, the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. We were all just going to go poof.

208.075 - 231.651 Candace Owens

In terms of politics, Bill Clinton had just been acquitted in his impeachment trials for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. And the very first camera phone, not to be confused with a flip phone or an iPhone, but the very first camera phone was introduced in Japan. And here is what it looked like. It was called a mobile video phone. And in terms of, if you're wondering, what about cell phones?

231.711 - 253.746 Candace Owens

Nope, we weren't there yet. The company Research in Motion, also known as RIM, which would later on become BlackBerry, released a pager that could receive emails in 1999. So that was like, whoa, your pager can receive an email. Another thing that's kind of weird to think about is you were allowed to just get on the airplane. Yeah, 9-11 hadn't happened.

Chapter 3: What is Russell Brand's response to the allegations?

489.454 - 511.971 Candace Owens

And the London Metropolitan Police announced that they are now acting on those claims, moving to charge Russell Brand with one count of rape, oral rape and indecent assault, and two other counts of sexual assault. What are your thoughts? I actually genuinely need to hear your thoughts on that in the comments. What are you thinking when you hear something like that?

0

512.011 - 520.056 Candace Owens

And I know that they're going to be all over the spectrum. Let's at first listen to what Russell Brand had to say for himself when the news broke. Here he is.

0

521.451 - 542.518 Russell Brand

I've always told you guys that when I was young and single, before I had my wife and family, who are just about a shot over there, my beautiful children, I was a fool, man. I was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict, and an imbecile. But what I never was, was a rapist. I've never engaged in non-consensual activity.

0

542.579 - 558.893 Russell Brand

I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes. I want to thank all of you for your continuing support. I want to let you know that our show will be on Rumble on Monday. Thanks for your support there. And of course, I'm now going to have the opportunity to defend these charges in court, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.

0

559.573 - 565.699 Russell Brand

In the meantime, you lot, stay free, and we will be continuing to discuss this matter. Praise the Lord.

566.778 - 580.615 Candace Owens

So he seems calm and he seems collected. And I think he's asking some very meaningful questions that we have been asking a lot on this show as well. Like, have we just begun weaponizing the government? It is kind of incredible when you weigh it against the cases that aren't pursued. We think about Jeffrey Epstein.

580.635 - 603.836 Candace Owens

We think about the fact that we still can't get the client list, that we have politicians who are roaming free. When we think about the fact that Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte are in charge of France, it's just something really sadistic and wrong is going on there. And then you do start to see more and more that you have individuals who seem to have upset the government one way or other.

603.856 - 626.655 Candace Owens

And all of a sudden allegations come out. That's that's how it seems to me, at least. And I'll tell you some more of my thoughts here. I think I think the statute of limitations for crimes has always been controversial. And I do see both sides of the argument, to be clear. First and foremost, how do you defend yourself? when you were being accused of something that you did 26 years ago.

626.855 - 642.084 Candace Owens

I mean, really think about that. How on earth are you supposed to defend yourself? You could, where I live doesn't even exist anymore. Buildings are taken down. This is really the time before you could have all of this evidence that you could maybe pull and say, actually, no, I wasn't there.

Chapter 4: Why is the statute of limitations controversial?

642.124 - 658.953 Candace Owens

You can check my cell phone data or here I am actually proving to you that I was somewhere else when she says that I was there because you don't remember where you were 26 years ago. That's really difficult for the defense to try to come up with something when they don't even know that they're being accused of something until 26 years on.

0

659.674 - 679.227 Candace Owens

Now, on the flip side of that, you might say, well, no one would say, well, so what? We know what happened, but he got away with it. Who cares? No one cares that you were raped or sexually assaulted because it's been more than two years. It's weird, right? It's like a push and a pull here where you just don't know which side is more rational.

0

679.267 - 692.104 Candace Owens

But I do think it is reasonable to expect someone to at the very least report a crime before 25 years. I think that's a reasonable expectation to say, at least report the crime before 25 years, because if

0

692.985 - 713.224 Candace Owens

And by the way, this may be the circumstance, if someone does report it and the police fail to act on it, or if maybe technology advances, you see a lot of these in criminal scenarios where they'll be like, well, we didn't have the technology. Now we have a DNA technology and we can arrest this guy 20 years later. And that feels good. And you applaud. But if the crime wasn't even reported.

0

714.192 - 738.132 Candace Owens

I don't know. I really don't know. I also want to say that I think about how unfathomable it must be for Russell Brand's wife. I can't even imagine, right? I'm about to birth my fourth child and I can't imagine that 20 years from now, George and I get a phone call from the police in London and they're like, you know what, we've got George in for a crime that he committed 26 years ago.

738.152 - 755.286 Candace Owens

I mean, that would just completely rip a hole through your life that you have to fight this. And knowing that your children, what are your children going to think about this? What are the children going to think about their father? You've got to just go to court and do your best to try to prove your innocence if you are, in fact, innocent.

756.55 - 776.06 Candace Owens

Right now, I want to be clear, we do not know the details of these specific cases in the UK. We should find them out in a little bit of time. The women very well, like I said, may have reported it back in 99. The current articles that I'm reading doesn't make it seem like it. It seems more like they got inspired by something that was in the press and then they decided to come forward.

776.5 - 792.813 Candace Owens

But they may have like I let's keep it keep it open. They may have concrete evidence. They may have been keeping concrete evidence. Throughout this entire time, maybe they had a beeper email or a regular email between themselves and Russell. Who knows? We can't really judge a situation until we have more information.

793.293 - 816.786 Candace Owens

I do think it's worth us just discussing as a society why it seems to be the picture that When people are drug addicts and they are, you know, dealing with mental psychoses and things of that nature, Hollywood loves them. They love them. They celebrate them. They celebrate them stumbling out of the club drunk, making it seem like it's all cool.

Chapter 5: How does Candace Owens view the media's role in personal transformation stories?

931.916 - 948.706 Candace Owens

And if you owe back taxes or you have unfiled returns, waiting is not an option for you. The longer you wait, the worse it's going to get. Ignoring your tax troubles is, in fact, the worst thing you could possibly do. Getting ahead of this now is the smart move, but you should never contact the IRS alone. Instead, let the experts at Tax Network USA handle it for you.

Oh, I wanted to show you guys this. This is really exciting. This made my weekend very, I obviously love Joe Rogan. He's the biggest podcaster in the world.

0

989.992 - 1007.105 Candace Owens

And he recently had on Dave Smith, who's a buddy of mine who I absolutely adore as well. And Joe Rogan has definitely been watching the show and getting into our content and him and Dave Smith. were speaking about how much my content has changed over the last year and how much they enjoy it. And Joe Rogan said this.

0

1007.265 - 1017.635 Candace Owens

So this is, I think this is a humble brag a little bit, but I was very excited and I wanted to share it with you guys because obviously this show is only successful because you guys watch it all the time. So take a listen to what he had to say.

1018.215 - 1035.227 Joe Rogan

The Candace Owens show that's on YouTube. Yeah, that's right. And it's doing better numbers than any of the shows on cable news. It's phenomenal. It's like they created a monster with her. When they fired her from the Daily Wire, they created a monster. Yeah, they sure did. She can't be stopped. Yeah. Oh, no, no, no.

1035.367 - 1036.648 Dave Smith

There's no stopping Candace Owens at this point.

1044.913 - 1045.474 Dave Smith

It's f***ing awesome.

1045.914 - 1065.771 Joe Rogan

Six hours plus long. I don't know if she's even kind of right about that. I think she's right. But she's got a lot of shit to say on it. Bro, she would be getting sued right now instead of trying to bribe her. Instead of trying to give her money to shut the fuck up. Yeah. They would sue her. Yeah. Nope. You're probably right about that. I don't know if they are suing her.

Chapter 6: Is Ryan Reynolds linked to the Dragon text messages?

1094.645 - 1100.507 Joe Rogan

Winning. Yeah. It's f***. crazy. It's what they try to do to Trump plus.

0

1102.167 - 1122.812 Candace Owens

By the way, he is not lying. There is so much that's happening in France right now that I actually said to my team, we are going to have to do a Becoming Brigitte season two. The updates that we have in that case, what has come out since, and once again, the things that the mainstream media are completely neglecting to cover. Someone else in the Trogno family has now been caught. It was

0

1123.372 - 1143.507 Candace Owens

huge pedo criminal network and charges are being brought against him. I mean, it's just completely insane. And what's happening running alongside this is Emmanuel Macron has apparently lost his mind and he's just threatening and going crazy because it's all coming down and people are recognizing that he's not a serious leader. And so he's trying to exert his power in really weird ways.

0

1143.527 - 1162.312 Candace Owens

And I have some stories to tell you. that I have had to keep my mouth shut about. I really want to tell you guys, and I really am going to tell you eventually, but I'm thinking we're going to have to do a season two of Becoming Brigitte. Anyways, that's not all that they had to say. Here is what else they shared in their conversation.

0

1163.484 - 1184.075 Dave Smith

We talked about Candace Owens before. That's part of what her freaking boot camp before pissing off all the Israeli supporters was that she's already been through the fire. She's been an outspoken black female conservative. And that's like they really hate that because they do kind of view you as like – which is fucked up in a way. But it really is kind of like –

1185.876 - 1196.927 Dave Smith

They decided that they're the champion of women and black people. And therefore, if you're a black woman, it's your responsibility to support these liberal white women. And she used to.

1197.127 - 1197.948 Joe Rogan

That's the thing about Candace.

1197.988 - 1214.826 Dave Smith

When she was very young, she was liberal. And then she was also a hardcore Zionist at one point, like very big supporter of Israel and then changed her mind on that. But it is, you know, there is a viciousness with which those people get attacked

Chapter 7: What compliment did Joe Rogan give to Candace Owens?

1216.055 - 1231.282 Candace Owens

I totally agree. I think I was very much forged in fire because I felt like I wasn't allowed to critique BLM. And now I do feel like we fast forwarded to a time where you're not really allowed to critique Israel. And it puts me in a weird spot. And sometimes it makes people on the left and the right not like what I'm saying.

0

1231.362 - 1251.741 Candace Owens

But I've definitely, I think, formed my own opinions and I'm sticking to them. And I try to just always do the right thing. And I'm open to changing my mind. I am open to changing my mind with new information. But I think that people are definitely responding to the honesty and the freedom. And this is the reason why the independent media has really taken over the corporate media space.

0

1252.583 - 1269.537 Candace Owens

Anyways, you guys, I want to move on from that. I just was very excited about that because it's Joe Rogan and that's a very big deal. And I think it's really cool that you guys have found the show. And we're going to get into some of your comments later about me and Ian having that conversation, which could have never, ever, ever happened on any corporate media show. In fact, they hate that.

0

1269.617 - 1288.155 Candace Owens

They hate people asking questions. But before we get to those comments, I... I have to show you this. This is super interesting. You guys know that I have my tips box. I was going through our tips email box. You guys send me stuff at tips at CandiceOwens.com. The best stuff, by the way. That's the reason why I get inspired to do the show.

0

1288.695 - 1293.56 Candace Owens

And one of you guys sent me something really interesting about Ryan and Blake. I got to present it to you guys real quickly.

1294.221 - 1309.799 Candace Owens

So as you know, long ago, when we were just getting into the lawsuit and understanding all the players, I had theorized that a large portion of the emails that were written and some of the text messages that we have seen throughout the lawsuit were actually being authored by Ryan Reynolds himself.

1310.259 - 1332.151 Candace Owens

There was a certain decorum in some of the messages that he I think he's authoring, which deviate from the style of messages that Blake writes. I've said this many times. I'm not trying to be insulting, just being realistic. Ryan is clever. Blake, not so much. And she's much more flirty and she just comes across as less focused. I think she kind of thinks being cute is enough.

1332.871 - 1346.927 Candace Owens

And somebody else should take care of things for her. And she's a bit bratty. And Ryan is always kind of trying to manipulate. And he has this personality trait where he always sees himself as a character. He always thinks he's a character.

1347.708 - 1369.162 Candace Owens

But something that I had never imagined as I was theorizing all of these things was the possibility that Ryan Reynolds and not Blake Lively was the one that offered the now infamous Game of Thrones text message. The one where these are my dragons and Ryan and Taylor are my dragons. Never in a million years did I think that it was possible that Ryan Reynolds authored it and not Blake.
