Eminem... Why Are You Gay?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Happy Tuesday, everybody!
You know, some people say that when we get older, we'll get wiser, and I hope that that is true.
It seems to be the case.
Also, when we get older, we get grayer.
We know that's true.
But for Eminem, the once-hardcore rapper, it seems that he is getting older and gayer.
Yes, Eminem might be gay.
It's a question, is he gay?
Because he certainly sent Vivek Ramaswamy a very weird cease-and-decease letter, demanding that he stop rapping his music on the campaign trail.
Meh! Plus, later on in the show, we're going to talk about the teacher who went viral.
Remember that teacher with the ridiculous prosthetic breasts?
Well, now he's teaching at a new school.
Let's talk about that because I don't know what's going on in Canada really ever.
All that and more today coming up on Candace Owens.
So Eminem, we all remember Eminem from our youth.
I know so many Eminem songs. I was an Eminem fan.
When you think of the idea of a parental advisory, when you think about having to get your parents to take you to, well, it used to exist, CD stores, you think about Eminem, right?
The FCC won't let me be your let me be me, so let me see.
We all know an Eminem song.
And we also know that what came with an Eminem song was obviously very inappropriate and sometimes outright violent lyrics.
But also, a lot of times, Eminem liked to make jokes about being gay.
He was kind of very focused on gayness, is what I would say, in a lot of his music.
I'll give you some examples. This is him just playing around with James Franco.
He's acting in this capacity.
But take a listen to what Eminem said.
And I'm just curious what you meant by that, exactly.
I mean, I'm gay. I'm just a little confused here, because gay can mean a lot of things.
I am a homosexual. I like men.
So it's a joke. Let it go.
He's just being funny. He's saying that because he obviously doesn't like men, and that's what he always wants you to think as he explores these jokes in his music.
Here's another video of him and Dr.
Dre, former music video.
Take a listen. Well, since day he's 12, I felt like a K-Stef who stayed to himself in one space chasing his tail.
Got ticked off and ripped Pamela Lee's All right, another little kissy joke for a guy.
But again, these are just jokes. And by the way, that's a classic song.
Hi, my name is We All Love It.
Also, we love this song.
Remember, Just Lose It, the music video.
Another little gay joke in there.
Take a listen. Yeah, boy, shake that ass, he said, and he was just joking.
That's the point. Every time that he makes a gay joke, he's just joking.
He has no issues with gay people.
He then got very aggressive talking about Elton John in some of his songs, saying that he was going to run a poll up Elton John's butt.
I'm not kidding.
But then to show the public that he doesn't actually hate gays, he then became friends with Elton John, and they hung out, and they did some things, and here's Elton John talking about that.
Take a listen. I got this package from M&M and shows you how homophobic he isn't.
We had two diamond encrusted rings I mean, I don't know if I would send diamond encrusted
rings to any of my friends to prove that I'm explicitly not gay
But again, this is Eminem and you're supposed to understand that he this is just how he can be as creative. He's very
creative He's a hardcore rapper and he's getting older. He's getting
older and he's not quite able to read the room Sometimes Grandpa needs to sit down.
When you get into that phase where sometimes it seems you don't even know your own brand.
You don't even know who you are anymore.
This has kind of been the circumstance with Eminem.
He is definitely, I would say, deteriorating with age.
He doesn't seem able to recognize what his own base is.
And the biggest indication of this was when he did plausibly the cringiest thing he has ever done.
In 2017, after Trump won the White House, Trump supporters, Trump voters, when you think of them, you would definitely think they know an Eminem song or two, but Eminem didn't recognize that at all.
Instead, he decided to do a super hard thug video to show that he was supporting the black community against Trump, and here it is, do your best not to cringe, take a listen.
But we better give Obama props, cause what we got in office now's a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust.
And while the drama pops and he waits for shit to quiet down, he'll just gas his plane up and fly around till the bombing stops.
You heard him.
We're going to have a nuclear holocaust if Trump is president and he'll fly his plane around to the bombing stops.
What? What?
What? Eminem going after Trump and his supporters?
That's like freaking, I don't know, Taylor Swift being like, I hate teenagers.
They suck.
Tweens suck.
They're horrible. Teenagers are awful.
I hate them all. We'd be like, wow, have you examined your brands?
You might need a brand manager, T-Swift, because this doesn't make any sense.
And it made no sense. And he subsequently had an album that he released thereafter.
I thought, I guess that was going to be his great comeback.
And it turns out that all of the poorer white kids who supported Eminem throughout his entire life, who, you know, We're good to go.
But this, this next thing, none of us saw it coming.
Let's be honest. Let's just be honest, okay?
It's one thing to have hatred for Trump.
There was an entire simulation and media effort to make you really hate Donald Trump, and it worked.
People were brainwashed by the media, and they developed this derangement syndrome, and so Eminem could not escape that media simulation.
But Vivek Ramaswamy?
Huh? Does Vivek Ramaswamy, the presidential candidate, inspire that same kind of hatred?
There's actually no person that is running right now outside of Trump on the Republican ticket or even the Democrat ticket that really can inspire hatred, right?
Like, you hate everything that we know that the Bidens are getting away with.
But to hate any person that's on the ticket right now, I just don't feel it.
I don't feel the media has been able to create that sort of a power and that sort of a simulation.
But for Eminem, he feels that way about Babak Ramoswamy, the Yale academic who I describe
when I say to people, he's so friendly and warm and you can tell that he's just one of
those people that is an overachiever.
We had these people. We all went to high school with them.
I used to defend these kids.
They just want to learn stuff every single day.
They're not really caring about their social status.
They want the extra homework.
They want to be the valedictorian.
That is the vibe that I get from Vivek Ramaswamy.
He is just simply a high achiever.
He's high functioning. I say he reminds me of the person from Mean Girls.
Have you ever seen the movie? The mathletes guy who's kind of cool, but also he's a mathlete.
Don't forget. Yeah, that's Vivek Ramaswamy, the Yale graduate.
So what happened was Vivek Ramaswamy was on the campaign trail and he jumped up on stage and started singing a couple of lines from the Eminem song because he likes the Eminem song.
Here's a look at what Vivek did.
Take a listen. Time's up.
Overplow! Snap back to reality.
Up there goes gravity.
Up there goes gravity.
Choke. He's so mad but he won't give up that easy note.
He's so mad but he knows.
He's so mad but he's broke.
He's so mad but he's broke.
I honestly can't show you anything else for the rest of the day that could be more harmless than that.
A couple of kids around him recording.
He's trying to get out, get the youth vote by showing, actually, I love Eminem's music too.
You just could never imagine a million years that Eminem would take this seriously and call his mommy.
Well, not his mommy. We know he hates his mommy.
He threatens to kill his mommy and Kim in music because he's hard, hardcore.
But this, this really shook Eminem to his core.
He could not deal with this.
Mm-mm. I'm going to kill my mommy and kin, but this, Vivek Ramaswamy, meh, I'm going to call my lawyer.
He actually sent Vivek Ramaswamy, he actually spent money, called his lawyer, and said wah, sent him a cease and desist, and demand that he stop rapping his music on the campaign trail.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the real story.
Copy of the cease and desist.
It says, this letter serves as a notice to you pursuant to BMI, a music license for political entities or organizations, that BMI has received a communication from Marshall B. Mathers III, professionally known as Eminem, objecting to Vivek Ramaswamy campaign's use of Eminem's musical compositions, quote, the Eminem works, and requesting that BMI remove all Eminem works from the agreement.
So there it is. He goes on a little further.
It is signed. Vivek, you've been warned.
You are now in a rap battle with oh-so-hard Eminem, who, as I said, used to sing songs about how he wanted to murder Kim, his baby mama, and put her in the back of a trunk.
He hasn't really dated anyone since Kim.
Also leaves a really big question mark.
So what's he up to?
He's paying attention to politics to see if there are Yale grads that know his music, and he's become offended by it.
So... I don't know.
What should Vivek do? Well, what would the guy in Mean Girls do?
Take a listen. That's it, everybody. That is why I'm bringing you the news.
It's more questions.
Is Eminem gay? I don't know.
But I do know that if you call your lawyer crying because somebody is rapping your song on stage and that somebody is Vivek Ramaswamy...
Yeah, you ain't hard is all I'm saying.
I'm not afraid of Eminem. Give me all the smoke, Eminem.
Send me a cease and desist. I wrapped a couple of your lyrics today on the show.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Okay, now it's time for some topics du jour All right guys taking you back we discussed on this show
and it definitely made headlines all across the world The teacher in Canada, I never know what's going on in Canada, I don't know, I just need to speak to some Canadians about what's going on in Canada, who had the Z-cup prosthetic breasts, who was teaching wood class, And predictably, obviously, caused an outrage amongst the parents that were at that school.
That school was Oakville Travelgar High School.
And eventually, the teacher in question, Kayla Lemieux, wound up leaving due to ongoing security scares and death threats that were coming.
Parents were... Angry.
What is this? What are we even looking at?
Why would my child have to go to school and see this every day?
This is an outrage. What you have here is a male wearing prosthetic breasts, wearing a short skirt, obviously.
And I want to be clear here.
Kayla does not identify as trans.
You are not misgendering Kayla to call him him.
Kayla identifies as intersex which means either both or neither you call him a him you call him a her
They do not allow people to think that you can't discuss this as what it is because I know YouTube policy is misgendering
Nope, Kayla has come out outwardly and said I am intersex So Kayla clearly is a biological male and parents have had
to look at this every day while their child went to school and eventually Kayla left
because it caused so much outrage what turns out as an update to the story
That Kayla is now teaching at a new school the Nora Francis Henderson
secondary school in Hamilton, Ontario now, I'm just gonna I want you to look at
this image of Kayla when he's not wearing his breasts This is a photo that was captured of him walking down the street, heading to his car, looking totally normal.
And then you find out that this person goes home, puts on these prosthetic breasts, and then also is trying to delude the public into believing that these breasts are real, saying that he suffers from a condition called gigantonastia, I'm not a doctor.
I want to be very clear. We're good to go.
People like to say this is left versus right.
It's not that. I want to be clear.
I don't think this would ever happen in America.
And maybe I'm stupid.
Maybe I'm silly to think that it couldn't.
But I actually believe that even the people that are the furthest implanted on the left would look at this and say this is wrong.
I don't think that there is a single person as far lefty as you are.
You can be an eco-warrior.
You can drink the cardboard straws that melt in your mouth.
You can hate Trump. You can hate conservatives.
You can be out protesting for babies to be killed nine months in the womb.
But I think that when you see this...
It disturbs you. When you see this around a child, I think that we can all agree, like I said, left or right, we can come together and we can say, this is wrong, right?
And I have faith that if this had taken place in America and not in Canada, that this person would not be continued to allow to teach.
Even in crazy California, I have to think that parents have some sense and they recognize when they're looking at a sexual fetish.
Because what you're looking at is a sexual fetish, right?
If you want to even wear prosthetic breasts that size, and you're a man,
you probably have some sexual fetishes that you are exploring.
And then if you want to wear that and go all day in the classroom
and bend over in front of children in a short skirt, you probably have someone that should never have access to
children.
That would be my guess.
And by the way, that would be my determination if I was a parent of a child that had to attend this school.
Well, it's actually not even feasible.
That thought is not feasible because my child wouldn't attend this school.
In fact, I would be suing the school district.
But I said, it's Canada. A lot of weird things happen.
things have happened to Canada and they seem more okay with these really bizarre social
circumstances, more okay than even, as I said, the most extreme people out of California.
So yes, as an update to the Kayla Lemieux story, Kayla is now teaching at the Nora Francis
Henderson Secondary School and the parents are understandably upset.
And people that were the parents of the prior school that Kayla was at said, I feel bad
for those families and kids.
It becomes anxiety inducing, sending your child to school knowing that they've been
threatened, knowing that they're going to have to endure outside threats because there
is an environment that is being created that is not actually conducive to learning.
You are turning the classroom into a circus.
And that is not what it is intended to be.
So I am hopeful that the principal, by the way, has sent around a memo warning that they may receive some level of public attention.
I think what should also be examined, I'm hopeful that the parents will create an uprising and they will go to the board.
What happened here? What was the judgment call that you thought that this person was sane enough and stable enough to teach in front of my children?
To me, that means that some heads need to roll.
Principals need to be fired.
You need people at the Board of Education to be fired, you know, because this is a systemic condition that's happening where people are not placing children first and are instead placing the feelings and the bizarre fetishes of adults ahead of them, and it's pointedly wrong.
All right, guys, let's get into this.
I have a weird take on this story, and I want to be clear.
Yeah.
that were in Hugh Hefner's house and I also want to be very clear right off the top,
that I think Hugh Hefner was a pervert his entire life and he died a pervert.
So this is not, please do not think this is any justification for how I'm interpreting the story
to say or to suggest in any manner that I think Hugh Hefner was a good man
who was just living out his life and now is being thrown under the bus.
But you have seen that since he has died, a lot of his former girlfriends have come out with books and radio shows and podcasts talking about what it was like to live in his house.
It's, to me, interesting that you wait until somebody's dead to come out and say this.
But they're kind of using this I was brainwashed.
I didn't know what was happening. And I was taken advantage of.
And one such person is Crystal Hefner.
Crystal Hefner, in case you aren't keeping up with the Playboy Bunnies, was the last Hugh Hefner main girlfriend.
Obviously, he did not hide the way he lived.
In fact, he welcomed cameras into it.
VH1 had an entire show called The Girls Next Door.
So the way that it worked was he had three girlfriends at the house.
Then he would have one who he treated as the main girl, who he treated as his wife.
And at one point, that girl was Holly Madison.
After the show fell apart, he met another girl who he began treating like his wife and then eventually married, and her name was Crystal Hefner.
Her name is Crystal Hefner, obviously, because they actually got married.
And she is now coming out and giving us all the details of what went on in the Playboy Mansion.
She's telling us that he took so much Viagra that it made him deaf.
She describes the hell of living with him.
She's now 37 years old, just so you know.
Talks about how he would impose 6 p.m.
curfews so that she would stay home and that she would share soup with him.
And by the way, I want to be clear.
I believe every single thing that she is saying that went on in this house, like I said, he was not exactly a person who hid his lifestyle.
He was someone who was very proud of his lifestyle.
He was happy to be a pervert.
Obviously, he kind of came up in the 70s when it was a little more acceptable to be a pervert
out in the open and people actually aspired to be like him.
I think that he has a legacy where there still are a lot of men who aspire to be like him
and who just always want to have a young woman on his arm.
Well, she was one such young woman.
The thing that I find interesting about her story and why I wanted to talk about it is
because she's writing this book called Only Say Good Things because this is what Hefner
asked her to do before he died.
But it's not a request that she can fulfill, she says.
And so she's now going to be forthcoming in this memoir.
And she says that she graduated college.
She was doing a year, pursuing her graduate year, her graduate degree, pardon, in psychology when she decided to try to get tickets to the Playboy Halloween party.
So you can imagine if you're living in San Diego, as she was, the thing to do when you are young is to try to get into the Playboy mansion for a Halloween party.
And that's where she went.
And the rest is history. I'm assuming she dropped out of school.
She then became his girlfriend and We're good to go.
But undoubtedly, they were decisions that they made and pretending that suddenly they're victims, right?
She's not saying that she came from a trailer park.
She's not saying that she didn't have any access.
He didn't find her in a strip club.
She's saying that she was 21 and she wanted to go to a cool party.
We've all been there before.
I've been very open with you guys about the amount of Red Bull vodka that I consumed from
the ages of 18 to 23, probably ages 18 to 24, if I'm being honest.
I've been honest with you guys about me waiting outside of a line at One Oak and, you know,
wanting to dance on a bar next door at the electric room until 3 a.m. in the morning
while I was living in the city in my early 20 years.
But I don't pretend to recast those decisions as well.
I was a victim when I was taken advantage of.
Like, why did the bouncer let me in at 1 a.m.?
after I had consumed eight Red Bull vodkas?
He shouldn't have let me in. I really have an issue with women pretending that they're stupid, right?
That they didn't do anything to contribute to where they ended up because I had these friends.
There were some of us that wanted to go out and wanted to go to the bar and wanted to go to the club and wanted to party with our girlfriends and dance all night and then go back home.
And then there were the girls that were looking for powerful men.
I have these friends.
I had a best friend who I lost because she became one of these girls.
We went out to a bar.
She met a rapper. And then she became a groupie for the next 10 years of her life, literally.
I haven't spoken to the girl in 10 years, probably.
I ran into her, and her life is horrible.
She now works at the Four Seasons, checking people in.
And she had so much potential, but she thought that she could exchange her sex and her youth for power.
And it didn't work out for her. Well, in the circumstance of Crystal Hefter, it actually did work out for her.
She exchanged her sex and her youth for power.
This is a normal dynamic between men and women.
Women think, oh, he's going to take care of me.
He's powerful. I'll never have to want anything in my life.
I don't have to do anything. And men think, she's hot, she's sexy, she's young.
And I'm sorry.
That's how it works.
What she negotiated with Hugh Hefner, and she's doing it post-mortem.
Again, doesn't take away from the fact that I think he's a pervert.
I think he's gross. I think he died a pervert.
And I think that he should never have been somebody that was ever celebrated.
But I also want to say that women know what they're doing.
They know what they're doing when they're young.
And some women want to skip the part of having to work hard in their 20s and just arrive at having success.
And that's the truth. So that's all I'm going to say about that topic.

Okay, guys, now let's jump into some of your comments.
First up, I just want to acknowledge I was rapping that song yesterday.
I was having so much fun going over all of the black responses to Trump's mugshot.
And somebody actually told me that it was their song, the rap song, that said, Orange man bad, the whole world mad.
This guy wrote in the comments at HiRezTV.
Just want to give him a shout out. Thanks for sharing my Trump rap and rapping it after, too.
Ha ha, that was epic. The song was epic.
We were all in a great mood yesterday looking at all the responses.
So thank you for creating the song.
Also, Nancy Drayton writes, I am a proud black woman, served my country for 20 years, served my community policing and keeping citizens safe.
I was sad at first about how Trump was treated, and it seemed as if no one cared.
After watching Candace tonight, I'm so happy to see so many black people waking up.
Biden has really hurt the poor and the middle class, and that's all of us.
Yeah, it just was a feel-good thing, and I think what felt so good about it, again, as we said yesterday, was that they were being so vindictive and even pursuing his mugshot, which Ben stated.
He's the most famous man in the world.
He can't sleep Sneak out of the country and no one's going to notice or sneak out of where he's supposed to be without being noticed.
And yet they did this to be evictive.
So it's just so great that actually what happened was it brought us all together and that we were able to share a laugh and to talk about that incredible face in the mugshot.
Fresh Back Lava writes, I love all the support for Trump, but I love that all of us, black, white, whatever, finally coming together more.
They have divided the country long enough.
Yes, it's a rare moment where they are not trying to mentally segregate us into oppressors and the victims.
And we all just kind of came together and had a good old laugh at the mainstream media.
And boy, were they angry! It really just goes to show you that if you're joyful and you're happy and you wake up every day with purpose, people hate that.
So smile more, laugh more.
I'm even reminding myself to do it more on this show.
All right, we also covered this strange epidemic of white teachers that just keep sleeping with their students.
I gave you guys my perspective because I knew one of these teachers, but I was too young to have reported her.
And they are people that were losers in high school, and they become the teachers.
Then they try to relive their high school years as the cool kid.
Very bizarre psychological phenomenon.
Well, Arnulf Garcia writes, I'm actually one of those people who went through it and lived a normal life.
I kept my mouth shut and I'm glad I did it too.
It was amazing and I wouldn't change my experience for anything.
I was 14 and she was 29.
Yeah, okay.
You also were a victim.
I don't know how old you are now, but I just think that when you have a 14-year-old, you will realize how weird it is that a 30-year-old wanted to have sex with you when you were 14.
And because you were the younger person in this, you're viewing it as amazing because I think that when you're younger, it's kind of like...
You know, an 18-year-old girl meets a 40-year-old man and he's got wealth and power and she doesn't think it's creepy until she becomes 40 and realizes, no, it is a little creepy that this guy is looking to sleep with a 17-year-old, 18-year-old girl.
So I think that you might, as you get a little older, have a different viewpoint of whether or not it was really that amazing or whether or not the person that you were involved with was a master creep and the latter is what is true.
Yeah. Beatniks Vids writes, Oh my gosh, guys, you have no idea. I've been going through something personal for the last two weeks, and I'm waiting for the moment where I can just tell you guys everything.
But you are so correct that there are people that possess within them an ability to become something else, something evil, something sociopathic.
And when it happens in your own family, you're shocked.
It's a shocking thing to go through.
So that is a great teaser for some stuff that I'm probably going to be talking about It's a scary thought.
Lastly, Darby Lee 9044 writes, Teachers unions should be taking an active effort to push out child abusers they aren't.
I don't know if that's always been the case, but I can say that I think that you are making a sound argument that I would like to see debated now.
I've heard that sort of argument about nurses, that it attracts people that like to be cruel towards individuals.
Now, I want to be clear. I've had fantastic teachers who genuinely love teaching, and I've had fantastic nurses.
But as I said, it would be interesting to, at the very least, hear the debate because I've heard a lot of people say it.
We're living in an era of tyranny and the internet is at the frontier of a battle for control.
When powerful interests want to push their agenda, they get big government and big tech to silence any voice that does not fit their narrative.
Americans are being forced to give up the very thing that makes America great, our freedom of speech.
I'm not going to let my voice be censored, which is why I use ExpressVPN and you should too.
The problem with big tech is not only do they attempt to censor you, but they also track what you do online.
What you're searching for, the videos you watch, and everything that you click, they can match your activity to your true identity and use your device's unique IP address.
When I use ExpressVPN, they can't see my IP address at all.
My identity becomes anonymized by a secure VPN server.
Plus, ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of my network traffic for protection from hackers and eavesdroppers.
ExpressVPN is so easy to use.
I love that no matter what device I'm on, the app literally has just one button.
You tap it and you're protected.
It really is that simple.
So stop letting big tech and big government control your information.
