Candace Owens on Feminism, Taylor Swift, Motherhood, and Why Women Need to Reject Modern Lies
Candace Owens delivers a powerful message to young women about the dangers of modern feminism, the propaganda embedded in culture, and why marriage and motherhood offer the fulfillment that career obsession never will. Speaking at a Turning Point USA event, Owens dismantles the lies women are told about success, critiques Taylor Swift's perpetual adolescence, praises Harrison Butker's controversial speech, and calls out the psychological conditioning happening through social media, sex education, and Hollywood. She shares her journey to Catholicism, the importance of faith, and why conservative women need to stop apologizing for wanting traditional lives.
The Propaganda Machine Targeting Women
Candace Owens opens with a stark warning: Americans have gotten stupid, and social media is poison to young minds, especially for women who have been systematically lied to. She explains how feminism has been packaged as empowerment while actually disturbing healthy relations between the sexes. The viral hashtags like "the future is female" and "boss babe" culture are meaningless corporate slogans designed to confuse women about their natural instincts and roles.
Owens traces the psychological conditioning back to elementary school, where girls are taught to idolize women like Amelia Earhart for their careers rather than grandmothers who raised eight children and maintained 47-year marriages. This continues through sex education, which she reveals was never about educating students but about sexualizing them. According to Thomas Sowell's research, the majority of high school students in the 1960s were graduating with their virginity intact until the federal government implemented sex education programs. Within ten years, that completely shifted.
Margaret Sanger and the Evil History of Planned Parenthood
Owens delivers a scathing examination of Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, whom students are taught to admire. Reading Sanger's actual writings reveals her explicit eugenics agenda during the Progressive Era. Sanger wrote openly about wanting to "exterminate the undesirables" and prevent certain populations from reproducing. Her paper titled "Birth Control Propaganda" detailed strategies to convince poor people that not having children was the responsible choice.
Working with Clarence Gamble, heir to the Proctor and Gamble fortune, Sanger launched a campaign to make women feel at war with their own bodies. Owens connects this historical evil to the modern pharmaceutical industry, noting how birth control is essentially brain medicine that makes women struggle to conceive after years of use. Women who once had twelve children without issue now need government intervention through IVF to have even one child.
The Harrison Butker Moment
Owens passionately defends Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who faced massive backlash for praising his wife as a homemaker at a Catholic university commencement speech. The media collapsed when Butker expressed gratitude for his wife, explained how she is the perfect complement to him, and spoke about putting God first in his life. Owens points out the absurdity: if Butker had announced he was on his third divorce with a trans child, the media would have celebrated him as a hero.
She calls out Jason Kelce's response, where he claimed to disagree with Butker while admitting he couldn't explain why. Kelce recoiled at the term "homemaker" to describe his own wife, insisting she is his "partner" and they are "equals," demonstrating how propaganda works. Owens asks what specifically Kelce disagrees with, noting the irony that his brother Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift, who is on her 39th relationship.
The Taylor Swift Problem
In one of her most memorable segments, Owens addresses Taylor Swift directly. She notes that while she was with Swift in the beginning, listening to her music at 15, things have gotten less relatable at 34. Owens questions how it can always be the man's fault after ten-plus breakups and argues that Swift represents a dangerous prototype that Hollywood wants women to emulate: rejecting men, writing revenge songs after bad dates, and prioritizing the "girls club" over building a family.
Owens specifically calls out Swift's latest album, which included a song with capital letters spelling out "KIM" to target Kim Kardashian. She declares this is "the work of an 11-year-old" and not appropriate behavior for a 34-year-old woman. This represents a lack of development and cosplaying as a 15-year-old. Owens wishes for Taylor Swift what she wishes for everyone: marriage, children, and the best parts of life. She believes Swift's best songwriting days are ahead, not behind her, and expresses hope that Swift will return to her country roots, love her country, and love God. That, Owens says, would be her Taylor Swift era.
Motherhood as the Ultimate Exhale
Owens shares her personal experience of not missing her twenties at all, contrary to how society bills that decade as young, wild, and free. For her, it was a long anxious spell filled with student loan debt, unaffordable rent, and uncertainty about marriage and children. Marriage brought the relief of having a life partner, but motherhood revealed something divine and spiritual. She describes it as understanding that God is the maker who endowed women with gifts and instincts that men simply don't have with babies.
She emphasizes the beautiful complementary nature of masculine and feminine roles, calling God "the expert" she chooses to trust over worldly voices. Owens argues that Harrison Butker's statement about becoming more masculine while his wife became more feminine is a beautiful expression of this divine design. She contrasts this with the world's hysterical reaction to simple truths about faith, family, and traditional gender roles.
The Journey to Catholicism
When asked about her conversion from Protestantism to Catholicism, Owens explains she didn't convert simply because she married a Catholic. Her husband used to say, "To become a student of history is to become a Catholic," which she didn't understand until she started deeply studying history. She noticed patterns of Christian persecution throughout history that textbooks obscure or misrepresent.
Owens began reexamining events like the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, which was dropped on a Catholic church, the fire bombing of Dresden on Ash Wednesday, and the Bolshevik Christian Holocaust that schools don't teach. She studied with priests overseas and learned that Americans know very little about their own history and what happened before the United States became a country. She emphasizes that Protestants helped her along this journey and she holds no judgment, wanting others to examine their faith with the same curiosity.
The Conservative Media Landscape
Owens shares a stunning revelation: just before her speech, she received a frantic call that The Daily Wire had secretly sent a PR intern named Ariana to record her, hoping to catch her in a bad moment. She calls out Ben Shapiro by name, challenging him to stop sending interns to do his dirty work and accept Charlie Kirk's offer to fly him out for a public debate. The audience erupts in applause.
When asked about the future of conservative media, Owens emphasizes trusting female intuition. She explains that God endowed women with special intuition that becomes even deeper after having children. She admits to telling her husband she doesn't like certain people based purely on "vibe," and that instinct is meaningful because it comes from God. The conservative media landscape has faced its most significant changes in the last six months to a year, forcing people to ask questions about what's real and what's fake.
Music, Psychology, and Mass Manipulation
Addressing a question about music's impact on youth, Owens explains that the constant presence of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is not accidental but intentional distribution and forced feeding. Instagram recommends following Taylor Swift immediately upon sign-up. This represents a system of brainwashing that is tried and true. She references the CIA's experiments with culture and music to see how they could impact people psychologically on a mass scale.
Owens stresses that music isn't just something you listen to—everything you look at and listen to is a pathway to your soul. When she made the conscious decision to stop listening to trash music, she now can't believe she ever listened to it. She calls for greater awareness of the mass psychology taking place through media and the importance of cleansing your soul rather than filling it with filth.
Practical Advice for Young Women
Throughout the Q&A session, Owens offers practical wisdom. She tells women in their "waiting season" for a husband to get involved in church events and missions, noting that the Holy Spirit is drawing people to churches in unprecedented ways. She advises young women to question whether they actually need to be at university or if they're just there due to programming from high school guidance counselors pushing them into six-figure debt.
On balancing career and motherhood, Owens is refreshingly honest. She acknowledges that her current situation—recording her podcast at home while her kids play outside—is an exception, not the rule. Most women face nine-hour workdays in front of computers with little time for their children. She encourages women to figure out what they're good at and find ways to control their own time, whether through writing, podcasting, or other creative work from home.
When asked about raising strong daughters, Owens emphasizes that the majority of parenting is caught, not taught. Children watch how parents communicate with each other and model themselves after their first and hopefully last heroes. On dealing with attacks and slander, she advises appreciating stupidity and refusing to argue with idiots. God only puts challenges before you that He knows you need to go through because something bigger awaits on the other end.
Faith as the Foundation
Owens reminds the audience that as Christians, they need to remember that in the end, we win. We are fighting real demons, but the outcome is assured. She encourages praying for enemies and recognizes that things have become so evil that people are inevitably being drawn toward goodness. Faith seems to be moving around the world in powerful ways, with more people talking openly about God than in recent memory.
She concludes by reaffirming her commitment to continuing her investigative series on topics like birth control and vaccines, ensuring women feel equipped to argue with doctors who try to gaslight them. The work she began before The Daily Wire will continue independently, with new episodes expected in September.

are you ready for this one and has got a sense of humor things are really heating up and I have a lot on my mind as usual Americans have gotten really stupid social media is poison to a young mind it absolutely is it just is it is especially women that have been lied to as of recent what do you have to do to counter an activist allow what do you to say to the students on this campus you [Music] hello wow what an honor I love [Music] this I love you guys I really do I just love you guys I'm so grateful every year to be here just so grateful for Turning Point USA obviously the organization uh that I began at me and Charlie Kirk and we've grown up in so many different ways I have three kids now he has two amazing so much to talk about I mean I really do think it is so special to be able to be amongst a group of young female leaders and I think that's a great place to start because even when you hear women leaders now it it makes me want to cringe because of the way culture has made what taken that turn which should be something that feels empowering and they've made it something like basic right we see these terms of like what does it actually mean to be a woman leader well we hear these hashtags that go viral like um the future is female right I just don't know what that means I still don't know I apparently we love hashtags ladies we really do but some of these are just making entirely no sense future is female then you have another one it's like hash boss right usually he finds some on Instagram and then she and she's wearing a suit and I guess we're just supposed to be like yes it's aspirational to be a bossy or something and it's not and this is sort of the way that feminism has packaged things for us and it's good to pause and to actually reflect and to think about how that actually began because it has been this system of psychological conditioning for women and it begins as soon as you enter the school system you start to see these things you start to understand um that feminism as a term is all around you something that you are being fores sped whether you recognize it or not and make no mistake there is absolutely nothing feminine about feminism right there's nothing feminine about feminism and that is the left they they take words and when they sell it to you it always sounds good but they're actually doing bad I mean obviously a a very big example of that is when you people say oh I'm pro-choice and that sounds wonderful but actually no an infant is not choosing whatsoever in that environment and it's the same thing with feminism you want to think that that's a good word when when you learn about that the first time and they say well this is about equality between the Sexes and no it's not it is absolutely not about equality between the Sexes actually what feminism is is it is about disturbing healthy relations between the Sexes I actually say now that if you really understand feminism and you start to follow it you start to get deep into the history of feminism it is actually a precursor to transgenderism right it's telling women to act like men right so feminism really did have to come first first you had to confuse the sexist first you had to go out and you had to say to women shouldn't you be more like a man shouldn't you just be more like a man and at the same time they are are rinsing the minds of men as well and they're telling them well you should be you should be more feminite you should cry a little more you know you should really get into your feelings but no women you you go to work and when you think about school I was thinking about I was like what is the first memory that I have when it comes to thinking about women being bosses or women in general and I'm like there was probably a book report like you know pick a woman who's done something amazing in history and it probably was ailia aart right I don't know I feel like we all did ailia air heart like well at least once in third grade she's amazing if she's a pilot I think she crashed but this is historical fact historical fact but she's amazing and and you you get this idea when you're so young and you're like seven and you're like yeah maybe I should should be a pilot because Amelia aart was a pilot and you know you never see someone that says for my book report I'm going to do like my grandma who's raised eight children and has stayed married for 47 years to my grandpa and then you think about getting a little bit older and and maybe you're done with the book reports but you're still kind of getting that that conditioning right you're still getting that conditioning and it moves on now it's it's all about uh sex ed which is utterly a a nonsense if you study the history of it I mean I can tell you very briefly but it's one of these things where they just lie to get things into the clashroom and when this lie was told in the 60s and and the government was really getting ready to enter the classrooms they went around to parents like well you know every everybody's just doing it this is what we learned right we started teaching sex education because everybody's just doing it and so why not teach people so that they're educated about sex that's a complete myth it's a complete lie you should definitely read um Thomas Souls inside the American education system and you learn that actually in the 60s the majority of high school students were graduating with their virginity intact and then the federal government came and then they implemented sex education and within 10 years that completely shifted completely shifted actually what they were trying to do was to sexualize people in the classroom was to make it the priority of the government to again disturb relations between men and women between young women and between young men to sexualize women to to make people more perverted to make them think that their parents were so old school and backwards this is the dawn of the sex Revolution and that's intentional because then of course when you look into to who is paying for the textbooks and who is actually in the classroom you learn that Planned Parenthood is always there which brings me to another layer of learning about history everything that you are told about virtually everything that you are told about the women that they tell us are the heroes you get out of school and you're like my goodness this person was a villain how could I have thought that this person was a a good individual no greater example of that than than Margaret Sanger right you Lear about her oh my thank goodness for Margaret Sanger and thank goodness for first W feminism and what if it wasn't for her we wouldn't have planned parenthood and that's kind of like you know the basic version of history that they give you and they don't actually allow you to read any of her she's got tons of writings I mean she wrote U all the time in magazines and she wrote papers and she just so explicitly actually what I appreciate about her most is she was really honest you know she was just sort of of like yeah we got to exterminate the undesirables in our society we just can't have these people getting pregnant we don't want them they're growing like weeds how do we kill them like you got to read it's like stunning to read her stuff she's just like out there with her ideas and you know proud you Genesis this was the time in America uh known as the Progressive Era where everyone was freaking out because there was such an influx of um immigrants that were coming in and they thought okay well if the Nordic races start breeding then we are we're going to lose the great race in fact the most well-published book at that time was the passing of the great race which was written by Madison Grant um and of course these people always come out of Yale and Colombia they have the best ideas you know the best ideas they come out of Yale in Colombia and they were like the new science is eugenic ISM the same way that it was like cism in our era they were like this is eugenism trust the experts we have to do everything that we can and that was the precursor to Planned Parenthood was the idea is like how can we instead propagandize people and by the way that was the name of one of her papers it was called birth control propaganda and she was like how do we go out to people and not say we want you to kill your Offspring but make it sound good and her and Doctor Clarence Gamble who was literally just a trust fund baby when I say gamble I mean like Proctor and Gamble I'm doing this because I think of my toothpaste and toothbrush but uh Proctor and Gamble and he had money to spend and they got together and they were like yes let's work on birth control propaganda let's go to poor people and tell them it's the responsible thing to do you know you don't want to have Offspring and and this kind of goes into The Narrative of like your body is just what a terrible thing your body that is your your you could get pregnant suddenly women are at war with their own bodies like it's like being a woman is something that they turned into this villainous experience like oh my God like what you know you could get pregnant right like you could get pregnant it's so much better to take these drugs that we've invented that are actually supposed to stop you from getting pregnant and it's really stunning because i' I've been working on this birth control serious people don't understand um how evil the industry has always been and now that I have fast forwarded to my 30s and I'm grateful to God that I have three kids and I'm I'm surrounded by so many women um who didn't make the same decisions as me in life and women who of course you know went on birth control because it was a responsible thing to do or so they were told in their classrooms and are struggling to have even one child these days our grandparents were like having kids on the way to work like they were just like right I mean like 10 kids TW I'm like what you have 12 kids just permanently pregnant totally fine you know working the entire time then you fast forward today and you have so many young women who are having to turn to the government to have children right and this is kind of the evil design of it all is that they want to create the problem s and then create the solution and then call people who are speaking about the problems and digging into the history conspiracy theorists that's their favorite term you're a conspir what do you mean it's a conspiracy theory birth control is literally brain medicine when women say that it's making them crazy and then you have a doctor that is just completely gaslighting them oh it's not it's not your birth control we'll give you a pill for that for you're crazy we'll give you another pill on top of the pill to deal with your crazy that is the the the pharmaceutical IND industrial complex that we are very much fighting today and I think uh fortunately what they didn't expect at the end of Co was for so many people to wake up to the evil of big Pharma making us sick and it goes on and on you see they're they're they're rewriting history they're also being really weird um I would say feminism also is a lot of problems that don't exist they're making up problems I think my favorite point in I guess just recent history was when Hillary Clinton lost the election again the second time um and uh you know everyone was crying everyone was very hysterical because the media had brainwashed them all into believing that she was going to win everyone know was the hashtag another hashtag I'm with her remember what does that mean what does it mean means you're just should be with her cuz she's a her duh boss or something right she's wearing a pant suit and I'm like yeah no uh this doesn't make actually any sense I have questions and oh my gosh how could you be a woman and not be voting for Hillary Clinton and I can't REM I I can't forget pardon um when Hillary Clinton lost and the next day on the news you should go back and revisit the news that night honestly it was stunning television so I mean newscasters crying saying all sorts like this is it it's over we're all going to die it was just like it was like watching an apocalyptic it was the first time I was like actually I'm only going to watch CNN for the next 24 hours because this is really really funny like it was totally the end of their world they didn't understand how it could happen Rachel mat had some sort of a mental break and I remember they all started like telling these ridiculous stories like you know how am I going to look my four-year-old in the eye and tell her that Hillary Clinton didn't win we like you know last night I had to sit down my three-year-old daughter and and tell her that it's okay what bro have you been around a three-year-old like what are you saying what conversations are you having with your three-year-old daughter that like she thinks her whole life is over because Hillary Clinton in her pants suit didn't make it to the White House like it just it's just ridiculous ridiculous but that's the point it's always illogical it's always emotional and it never makes any sense when you pause and you actually think none of these arguments make any sense what are we even saying the idea is to propagandize women the idea is to make women constantly in the space of emotionality creating problems that don't actually exist and making them fearful of nature of what is natural of our Natural Instincts you know I talk about how becoming a mother it was like this amazing exhale you know because I think it's really hard to be your age I do not miss my 20s for anything and it's funny because they bill it as like it's going to be so great 20s You're Young and Wild and you're free and I'm like I've got student loan debt I can't afford my rent I have no idea what I'm doing or if I'm going to get married or have children I was just a in a long anxious spell for my 20s I just didn't love my 20s and then that first step of marriage and I was like okay I can I have a partner in life like forever this is amazing I don't I don't have to try I don't need to like go out and and try to meet this is amazing and then you have kids and you you realize that there is something so spiritual and there is something so Divine about motherhood that you go oh right God it's God it's all about God and he is my maker and and he endowed women with with gifts and instincts and we just see children and we know what to do in a way that men just don't really know what to do with the baby and they have their strengths and you see this beautiful blending coming together and you go yeah this is the math this is the science like you know if you want me to trust the expert the expert is God so I'm going to put my faith in him and it's so interesting to see how the world reacts like to something that is so simple and true and honest and pure you know recent example what did Harrison buer do wrong I was what you mean this this this kicker gets on stage at a Catholic University and talks about how much he loves his wife and how grateful he is for everything that she does as a homemaker and how she is the perfect Yang to his yin and how grateful he is that he has faith and that he has God and how he puts it first first God first in his life and the the whole world just collapses the media just could not deal with this they were like what are you talking about how could you say such crazy things but if Harrison bucker I gotten up there and been like listen um on my third divorce um my child is trans and um we're just going to let he her she they them pick his gender and make all the decisions right because government is King they would have been like he's a hero he's amazing and it was interesting to see I was paying the most attention to how his football mates would respond I can't believe I say mates I'm So Married to a Brit right now I am so married to a Brit how his football colleagues would respond to this and it was fascinating it was fascinating you know Jason Kelce and and Travis Kelsey get on a podcast and they're like you know I don't agree with him and but you know I I it's his right to say what he wants to say and I just thought to myself Jason Kelsey what do you not agree with specifically what is it that he said that you don't agree with and then people came at him were like hey man like your wife is a homemaker like you you that's literally what your wife does and he he totally recoiled to the phrase Homemaker right and he went on to explain like I would never say this and I view my wife as my partner and we are equals yeah yeah that no one said you weren't equals and she wasn't your partner it's just called being a homemaker and right there you guys right there you can see that's how propaganda works that's how he's brainwashed he doesn't even know why he doesn't like the word Homemaker he has no idea what he's even fighting what Homemaker does not mean that you are not on equal footing with your husband Homemaker does not mean that you are less than your husband he is in this spell that has been been fed to him over time to believe because of feminism right because of things that are explicitly anti- women that he can't even use that term to describe his wife or he will have somehow insulted her and guys the irony is thick on that one right your brother is Travis Kelsey he is married I mean he is dating what is he the 39th boyfriend of Taylor Swift right and you take a look at that situation and you go okay so Travis is sitting here across from Jason and he's explaining to Jason that you know I I don't agree with that so what do you agree with Travis I guess his version of feminism must be Swift right you see that a lot you see that a lot you see a lot of people the girl squad the Images Hollywood sort of projecting this idea of freedom and you know you can be in and out and weave and out of relationships and you know listen I'm the same age as T I'm 34 years old we have very different lives right very different lives she is a superstar billionaire travels the world has a private jet gets to sing and sold out stadiums and I was with her in the beginning you know and she was like 15 I was like yeah me too you know doing the thing in my room it was cute we it's so relatable 15 got a little less relatable at 34 for me you know I was like no you're you're 34 okay I was with you on the first 10 breakups but now I have questions now I have questions it can't always be his fault it cannot it is impossible it is impossible but this is the version that that we're so this is the idea she is the Prototype Hollywood loves her she's a part of a machine that they they want women to believe that this is what is aspirational you know this if if you if you pretty much reject men right and and and constantly put them in your music after every bad date and then we give you tons of money then maybe women will follow that maybe they'll feel like that's that's the right path like it's all about the girls club and I'm telling you guys I that is just such a mistake it is such a mistake you know I I have to call this out because it's been on my mind and you know my podcast isn't back until Monday but thank you guys thank you when I saw that her in the news that her her her newest album dropped like Dead Poet Society and there was a song and it was a headline in the Daily Mail and it's living inside of me I gotta get off my chest it said she named one of the songs thank you Amy but made the letters big in the K the I and the m so that Kim Kardashian knew it was about her that is the work of an 11-year-old that is not I I am serious that is not what adult women at the age of 34 do I don't go to my journal and write big letters when I'm angry at someone okay this is cosplaying a 15-year-old there's a there's a lack of development here and I think that people don't appreciate that because when you're when you're younger you go okay yeah it's fun and boy but then when you're older you realize this is a person that needs more substance you know that really needs something to write about and so what I wish for Taylor Swift is what I wish on everybody marriage and children and the best parts of life I really think some of her best songwriting days are actually ahead of her not behind her you know I'm willing to I want to see Taylor Swift as the mother I want to see Taylor Swift able to lead women into that to lead women into understanding that it's it's not about you know boyfriends and mean songs and clicks and girly stuff and you know it's not an episode of Mean Girls it's it's really about what you can what you can build especially when you put faith above everything else what I wish for Taylor Swift is to return to her country Roots I wish for her to love her country and to love God that's the guy that's the guy I want to see her write about Jesus Christ could you imagine that will be my Taylor Swift era that will be my era you know there's there's there's so much in the world um that is that is wrong and and part of it is this ability for us to to idolize celebrities not to realize that they are they're pulling you away from the things that you should aspire to in life I I think the person who wins in all of that is Harrison bucker I think the person who wins in all of that is Isabella Bucker and I was blessed to be able to hear him speak a couple of weeks ago at a different event and you know what Harrison said was you know the more more masculine I became the more feminine my wife became and I thought that was such a beautiful way to say things have faith have faith and and I mean that um I know that sometimes when you come to these more political events you hear from political people it can be so depressing and something in me changed I think last year kind of Midway through the year and I was feeling so bogged down by politics and so frustrated with the way it seemed that our country was going and then I remembered that actually I'm a Christian and in the end we win we are fighting real demons we are fighting real demons but in the end we win pray for your enemies pray for them you know um because like I said it is just a tremendous time in our country and and I completely know that Faith seems to be moving around the world you see people talking about it more and I think things have become so evil that it's inevitable for people to be drawn toward goodness you guys um the last thing that I am going to say strangely this is such a crazy story but as I was headed in here I got a a frantic call from somebody they did they called me and they said Candace something very weird is happening the daily wire has sent somebody secretly to record you um an an intern a PR intern to secretly record you to catch you in a bad moment in a bad light and I think that that intern's name no to be fair it is never the fault of a person when their employer is sending them to do something that isn't good but I would really love it if Ariana stood up yeah okay maybe that's a little too intimidating for you too but apparently she got an email at 10: p.m. hopped on a plane is pretending to be a student um and so I do just want to say to Ben Shapiro enough come out into the light really come on let's do this debate stop sending interns to do your dirty work I don't bite I'm down for for the debate Charlie Kirk says he will fly you out he will fly you out next week to Detroit and we can do the debate on his stage thank you turning point USA let's take some questions [Applause] Candace we're going to start to your right okay amazing I think the last name is rotor by the way I know you're here I had Turning Point check all right hi kace I love you so much I love you too and I'm so good to see your face um my question for you is I have a lot of my friends here at Turning Point are C like surprisingly to me at least and I find myself just being engulfed by them slowly so I been questioning my own denomination so I'm curious what was the turning point for you and your move from a Protestant denomination to more of a Catholic Catholicism yeah great that's a great question especially in America it's a great question because America is a unique country that you know you go to other countries in Europe and there's just like a few it's like you know Catholic Anglican you know in America there's just so many Protestant divisions um and so it's interesting my husband used to always say to me I wasn't someone that believed that you should you know convert to a faith because you got married so my husband was Catholic when we got married and I remained Protestant because I don't like if you're going to convert you convert because you believe something that's that's my personal belief um my husband used to say all the time to become a student of history is to become a Catholic I didn't know what he was talking about but it sounded pretty because he's got an English accent and then I started getting into history and um things got really interesting for me I started noticing some things and um I realized that America is a very young country and because we're a very young country um some really bad people knew that they could kind of condition Christians to keep dividing and dividing and dividing amongst themselves and to make it become sort of this my truth my truth my truth we're different from here and then the more I studied history there were so many things that were just weird like um I started studying if the lens of a holy war and it's it's really shocking as opposed to learning things about questions that were never answered about World War II like why did we drop the bomb on Nagasaki what was dropped on a Catholic Church you know uh obviously we know the Nazis weren't good people but something that was always inexplicable in the textbooks was Dresden you know the fire bombing of Dresden which happened on Ash Wednesday you know tremendously um faithful City and that just kept happening over and over again Hiroshima and so I began studying restudying history rather and rather than pursuing textbooks that I learned in school began buying real books and it was very hard for me not to see first and foremost the Christian conspiracy full stop realizing there's a concerted effort to remove Christ from our classrooms to remove the topic of Christ away in general everything we learn about history is wrong the Christians are always the bad guys and everything we learn about the Spanish Inquisition wrong we learn about you know we don't learn some things we don't learn we don't learn about you know the Bolsheviks which it was a Christian Holocaust and so the deeper and deeper I got and I started started doing some studying with priests and a overseas and they were like yeah it's you know Americans know very little about their own history and things that have gone on since before America became its own country the United States of America became a country and so it's been a journey uh really to the heart of the faith and I feel first and foremost tremendously blessed because Protestants helped me along the way and so I don't say that coming from a place of any judgment like it was it's been a very humbling experience and I want people to be interested in the way that I was interested and to want to examine more about their faith but I'm just saying as Christians we have to stick together and not be judgmental and allow everybody to go on their Journeys independently it work for you at some point I really do I'm telling you it's happened stranger things have happened people have said it and it works out so very nice to meet you to your left to the left hey cowboy hat um oh my gosh I'm freaking out thank you for coming first of all I would say what advice would you give to woman in the waiting season that want to have a husband and kids um while waiting for God to lead them to that husband well go to church be shocked how many people you can meet get involved in Church events you know um people do a mission do a church mission it is unbelievable and you especially now I telling you like there is just the holy spirit is is upon us I mean people are just being drawn to the churches and I always say that to people when they're like where can you meet someone it's not at the club it's not at a bar you know you will are way more likely to meet someone especially someone that aligns with your values the more you get involved with your church and um so that would be the first thing that I would recommend anybody does very nice to meet you hi hi I love you sorry a I love you don't be sorry um so I actually did my senior research paper um it was heavily influenced by your podcast with Banna Ivy and I thought that was very interesting um and I was just wondering what you personally think is causing the extreme uprise and transgenderism in our generation yeah so Briana Ivy by the way um is a a young man who transitioned still is you know female presenting and reached out to come on the podcast and I just approached it with an open heart and it was one of the most uh I think the most beautiful interview I've ever done honestly honestly and I was the only one where I almost cried very close to crying because it was just a young man who was on Tik Tok thought it was cool uh his mother really thought that he was going to kill himself and was like we were we're always so judgmental I was at least and so I'm happy that I approached that conversation with more heart because he I was always strent to have the parents involved like how could you allow this to happen and you know Briana did get bottom surgery and it went horrifically wrong and he's in pain every day and the doctors were pretty much like like oh well doesn't matter uh and he really made me aware that the parents are going through this thing where you have the kids that are learning this there he even was able to find a doctor on Tik Tok and then was thinking that okay my child is going to commit suicide if I don't allow him to do this and so it's a really compelling conversation to to recognize that so much of it is really just psychological conditioning you know I say half jokingly bring back cigarettes because I I think adolescence is normal and you want to rebel against your parents but like you know in the ' 80s they had cigarettes and like now they're like hey would you like to pick your gender and like you know mutilate your body so I'm like bring back the cigarettes okay I hope that answers your question you're so welcome hi Candace hello my maid name is Hannah Owens so I we're soul sisters first yes I love that I've worked in conservative media and you have lots of experience in that I would love to know um your perspective on the future of conservative media and what advice you have for us is we filter through so much conservative news right now I think my perspective now especially as a woman I really do we we are God endowed us with a special intuition um you're not going to pull a fast one on women women know what's true women know know what's false and it becomes even deeper once you have children I mean I I say like weird things to my husband I be like I don't like that person he's like why I'm like Vibe Vibe he's like Candace you know the check out at like Walmart I'm like VI and and that's a real thing so do not discount your intuition about people even if you can't quite place a finger on what that is it's meaningful it is it is coming from God um and so if obviously the conservative media landscape is changing rapidly I think it's probably faced its most changes ever in maybe the last six months to a year and people are starting to ask questions about what's real and what's fake and that's good we should always check in even and I say this too because I people were so a lot of people were upset with me for interviewing um Andrew Tate some people were like you know he's look at this background and let me tell you something uh Alexander soulan nsen I'm going to credit him because he he said it way more poetic than I could possibly say it right now on stage but he basically said that evil cuts and goodness cuts to the heart of every individual in politics I have seen people that were good become evil and I have seen people that are evil become good so you should constantly check in to make sure that those people that were once good are still good and the people that were evil are still evil and so you just have to you know go with your go with your spirit on that one you're so welcome hi howdy um in 2015 I was watching YouTube and I found a video you did a Ferguson and it blew my mind and totally redpilled me and the reason why it did is because I noticed what I saw on TV and the Legacy Media totally did not ex um match my experience here in Texas there's fabulous people who live here and so another thing I noticed and what I want you to comment on is um where I've seen the most cultural racial Harmony above all is in church I meet so many people that are completely different from me don't agree with me on politics come from a different lifestyle but what we have in common is Jesus have you found this to be true that there's a a lot of unity in the church and what's your opinion on that yeah there's just more love you know God God God is love truth light the way it's it's when you're amongst people who have that perspective I even see in people's eyes you know when someone is just filled with Christ you can see it in their eyes it pours out of them and of course these heavily toxic topics you feminism and and and sexism and you're a misogynist you can also see like demonism in people's eyes as well it weighs them down to be so hateful all the time so you're absolutely right I see it all the time it's one of the things I love about living in the south because I grew up um in the New York City area in Stanford Connecticut and where I live now they basically shut down on Sundays and all of the police are out in full force to direct traffic to go to church like that's where I want to live you know it's it's really beautiful and people get along better and all of the stereotypes that were told about the south are complete crap all right thank you nice to meet you nice to meet you hey hi Candace thank you so much for being here so you have no idea how happy I am that you brought up Taylor Swift so um you guys like my dance so this whole um topic of Music in the conservative movement is just a huge thing for me I think it's so impactful how music affects our culture and our society and then of course eventually our political landscape as well and you're one of the very few conservative commentators who I've heard bring up the effects that this music is having on the youth and how that's affecting America and something I've noticed is that you know the conservative movement kind of turns a blind eye to how much of an impact this is really having we know we still continue to use the music we just kind of go yeah yeah you know Christian music might be better but there's no real alternative to those you know really great pop songs that are out there everyone loves and I just it's just kind of you know not really considered super important so what are your thoughts on how um we can as a movement kind of bring more attention to this to this how it's impacting the youth and how it's impacting America well I think one of the things that we have to start doing is talking about pschology and and there's a reason for that there is a reason that you could not open your phone without seeing Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce that is distribution that you're looking at that is that is basically they've made a decision that this is what you're going to force feed you everywhere you go as soon as you sign up for Instagram they recommend you follow Taylor Swift it's like one of the first accounts they recommend that you follow and when she was on tour you could just see I mean it was it was insane it was just all that we saw all day and every day and that's that is a a system of brainwash that is tried and true you know don't ever think that this stuff is happening by accident the people that are behind behind this are maniacal they are thoughtful they are intentional and they are purposeful in wanting you to think a certain way you know they they bring in cultures and this is you guys have seen me sharing that book on um Instagram must buy insane the Manson thing the CIA the stuff that they were up to in terms of trying to see how you could impact people psychologically on a mass scale right how would people react to this or react to that and you know there were entire institutes put together to see how you would react to certain things how you would react to certain in music another thing that I want to add here is that don't think of music as something that you just listen to um everything that you look at and everything that you listen to is a pathway to your soul they know that the soul is real the spirit is real they are filling you with filth when I made a conscious decision to stop listening to trash music that I used to listen to if it comes on now I'm like how did I ever listen to this right so you can you can cleanse your soul or you can fill it with filth and they are intent on constantly filling your eyes and your ears with filth and so being conscious of it talking more about psychology and talking about ways to combat the mass psych psychology that's taking place in the media as something that we just have to do at events like this and share it when you have your own podcast and when you talk among your friends that baby is so cute so cute oh you're so sweet Hi how are you hi I'm Gabby I just wanted to say that I've G older it's so hard to find someone to look up to so you are just an amazing role model and I appreciate all the work you do sweet thank you you're so sweet I'm so nervous don't be nervous do not be nervous around me I I can't believe this is real but anyway question time so I've heard some people and by some people I mean Pearl Davis let's hack um conservative woman I saw a podcast with her Timol and um Lauren Chen and I've heard like her argued that conservative women aren't truly conservative just because you know there's other circumstances that maybe make us a little bit more masculine whether that's you know having to have a career because in this economy you need to make money or you know being a little bit more masculine because you don't have both parents in the home and things like that so I think that conservative women can still be great role models for the future and not necessarily be the Trad wife the trend that's going around so I just wanted to ask you what are your boundaries and how do you navigate having an amazing career that I look up to so much but also being a great mom so a couple of things that I want to First say so you see this happening and I I've seen some of pearl stuff and I met Pearl once in Amsterdam and I love Lauren Chen I I really do she she's a good person behind the scenes too and I always try to make sure people know that um when I was starting early on and she had a way bigger platform than me she was always very kind and she's very thoughtful Pearl is someone that I think um I kind of say I would hold a candle for her because I think a lot of the stuff she's doing is to be controversial and she hasn't yet done like the the study into the economics like the economic argument of why women are at work these decisions were made before before your generation I mean this is this is the new economy um that's not to say that it can't be done but I think a lot of the times she would benefit from going into a little bit of study for a year because she has the capacity to do a lot of good with her platform and I think she should slow down and just think about what her destination is and what it is that she actually wants so I have nothing bad to say about either of those young either of those young women but um what I would offer to you is that a lot of people look at my life like you get to do what you love and all of this I am now very blessed right I was blessed in that when I was not married I had a platform I'm blessed in that now that I'm bringing my podcast back I am designing exactly what it is that I can go in and I can record and I can be done and I get to go upstairs like I get to wake my kids up you know go uh do my podcast my kids are are playing outside I get to have lunch with them and then put them down for a nap that is not the majority of people right that is an exception to the rule not the rule so I really don't like when women who have all the help in the world are like oh everyone could it's like the majority of people are not going to have that they're going to have to make tough decisions and the majority of young women are going to be in an environment where they have to stay in front of a computer for nine hours a day and then they're going to go home and they're not going to feel like they have their that time with their children so it's I just want to make it very realistic you know for people because I don't want them to ever think that oh I can definitely have exactly you know what Candace has by just keep doing what I love you know so there are other ways to do what you love and to contribute and to be able to manage your own time so figure out what it is that you're good at maybe you're you're a writer you can set your own time when you write we love communication skills you can do a podcast and do exactly what I'm doing and B I'm going to do this in the morning from home be done but I think we need to be realistic about our expectations and it is my hope that more women listening to my podcast pursue the path of a homemaker it is but I completely understanding of the economic environment that we're in right now and how difficult that is especially with the scam of student loans and how expensive college is go easy on yourself you're going to meet the right guy and you'll make those decisions together thank you you're so welcome it was so nice to meet you hi hello it's great to be here this is my first time one of the 64% of women here so great to meet you I have two things I would love if you can sign my book absolutely bring it up um I will and then another question is U my husband and I have a three-year-old daughter and I'm wondering any advice of how to raise strong confident and loving daughters I I think mine came out that way my daughter is just no getting her to do anything she does at want want to do I mean she is just the ruler of the root she comes down the stairs she says daddy the princess is here um and then everyone just calls with the princess you know so um I think just just encouraging them in in in that capacity and one of the things I always go back to is just how wonderful my grandparents were and with children I think the majority of it is caught and not taught right and so they're watching you at all times don't think that they're not understanding what's happening they're watching how you communicate with your husband they're watching your Dynamic and at the end of the day especially at this age they think you're the most wonderful people in the entire world like when when my son works out that my husband is not in fact Superman it's going to be a day because he just thinks there's just no wrong my husband can do he's just like as he wakes up he's like where is my father and I'm like your father you know it's beautiful and it's wonderful and they are they're going to pay attention to you and they're always going to model themselves like you first you you are their first and hopefully their last heroes in life speaking of which I'm going to let the baby cut to the front of the line sorry baby privilege baby privilege I'm sorry I just adorable baby so hi Hi how are you good this is Gabriel by the way Gabriel so sweet I purchased a daily wire subscription specifically to watch a sh in the dark and I I was totally supportive of You by the way with everything that happened but I was so sad thinking that like all the shot in the dark episodes are going to go away are you going to continue a shot I'm going to continue it yes absolutely easily the most important work that I've done I did it before or when I was at the daily wire before by myself and then I brought to the Daily wire and so I'm just going to continue it outside of it and we we had pre-filmed a lot of content that I was hopeful would come out but we're just going to recreate it this is like Taylor's version you know just re-releasing the songs and somebody else owns the Masters um so I am going to be putting that out on my own platform we're just going to take time I would probably say timeline it will come out September and we're diving into birth control the vaccines just so that women feel like they can argue with their doctors and your doctors try to Gaslight you about [Applause] everything thank you so much thank you so much bye Gabriel bye he's so sweet bye bye so sweet hi hi uh I have a very shallow question but obviously you're beautiful and you have wonderful style so given that this is a Young Women's Conference what fashion advice would you give jeny women gen Z okay okay I I personally think and I'm I'm I guess I'm talking to the Rock because we're in the South and it's really hot but I've always really enjoyed like a European sense of style my style I think is very European um and I I just want to bring back like and gloves and covering up with accessories like I just look at pictures of my grandma and I'm like she is so Chic so my fashion advice would like be like Grandma cuz she's dope grandmas are dope 100% that is based hi hi Candace I'm a huge fan good how are you very good first and foremost I want to say thank you for coming to Texas thank you for having me race here and we love having you here and my question for you is I watched one of your interviews where you were in Florida and you talked about having this friend in college that was essentially living what seemed to be a great lifestyle and then saw her in California and she was actually the hostess at the hotel and my question for you is in that moment when you were in your 20s talking about college and those hard moments what kept you going and what's the best advice you have to students that are currently attending universities like myself um to continue to keep us going what's your best piece of advice for young ladies the first piece of advice is to make sure you want to be at University right because the American system is incredibly corrupt being six figures in debt and not knowing what the heck you want to do is not a good plan um your guidance counselors in high school telling you that you're going to be a failure unless you go to university and put your plunge yourself into debt is a nonsense right if you have a skill set there is an open market people will buy it um so that's my first advice is just to examine whether or not you're there because you're scared you're going to be a failure which is just programming from high school to put you onto the government system or because you actually like no this degree is Meaningful and I need it to be able to do this like I want to be a nurse and so I therefore need to be at school um that would be the the the biggest piece of advice that I would give to women what was the second part of your question um and what was your main M motivating force you know what my haters I think I love my haters I really do they are low-key the most committed you know I just know like journalists right now are like watching every minute and like the headlines already out there I don't even know what it's going to say it's going to be wild but whatever it is it's going to be there but there was something about [Music] the the pretentious snobbery of journalists being like who is this girl like she didn't finish University like she was like too poor and like I'm a journalist and I went here and like I SI lattes in New York or something and like being like she can't she can't she can't who is she you know BLM the kind of dressing down of like well she's just not black anymore anymore if she's not going to vote this way and I just really don't appreciate being told um what I am or what I am not going to do or that I'm going to fail and so every challenge is a blessing in disguise Every Lie told about me I view now as a blessing in disguise and I promise you even in the hardest moments that I'm going through without even knowing where it's going to end I always take time to stop and thank God because he's the ultimate mathematician and he knows that I need that challenge before me so see see every challenge as a blessing and and genuinely love your haters they are your biggest fans all right hi Candace how are you good how are you I'm good I actually came from Stanford I'm your biggest supporter me and my friends like your biggest from the 203 yes I love that yes I'm so happy to be here um I just really wanted to ask you how do you deal with the constant slandering of your name especially in the beginning because right now I'm going through this phase where people are attacking me because of maybe my beliefs or my values and like I literally was accused of like not liking black people like and I'm I'm like how do I not like black people like you know it's just like you know I'm you know and I just don't know how to handle it I got really emotional and I want to know how you like stay away from being emotional and just really like get yourself through it because you have to appreciate stupidity you do you know if you're arguing with an idiot you become one and I've kind of employed that now where I'm just like this is I mean you're black white supremacist am I going to get big mad at something that stupid you know what I mean like oh okay yeah I totally want to help Usher in a society that I can't live in like I just want my kids to just be like oh you can't do anything because I'm ushering in a society where mixed kids can't live it's a nonsense and they resort to these attacks when there's nothing right if there was something meaningful to attack you with they would they would say that thing but instead they're like oh like she said Christ is King right so it's like the attacks get more and more ridiculous and after each one you get tougher and tougher and your and your thi your skin gets a lot thicker and I think that that's what's happened over time is I I laugh at it at the nonsense of it all um and again like the perspective that I just said is I know that God only puts challenges before you that he knows that you need to go through because there's something bigger on the other end of it so take time to thank God all right guys I have two minutes left according to this clock this is the last question okay last question hi hi it's so cool seeing you in person I'm such a huge fan you're very sweet so my question is after being let go from the daily wire and being able to speak firsthand do you think that the daily wire is complicit in sensorship of certain to people/ topics similar to that of leftwing Institutions I cannot talk about that thanks everyone
