Black Twitter Unexpectedly Came For Me... and WON
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Happy Tuesday, everybody. Question of the day.
Am I a cold-hearted biatch?
Or are we facing a mass formation psychosis when it comes to feeling bad for criminals?
I don't know what's happening in our society, but everyone just feels bad.
We want to go backwards and understand why they do bad stuff, why they commit crimes.
Plus, in honor of the show, Black Twitter nearly ruined my childhood.
I'm going to share with you this tweet.
I am shaken to my core, shooketh to my core.
All that and more today coming up on Candace Owens.
There are probably a lot of things that I am known for in the public sphere, but I think
chief among them is the fact that I don't particularly feel bad when it comes to criminality.
Probably the most viral video that I ever did, which a lot of people know me for, was going through George Floyd's criminal history.
I was amazed people that were baptizing themselves in the streets where George Floyd was killed or rather where George Floyd died.
I shouldn't say he was killed because he was not murdered by police.
That is my stance and I'm sticking to it.
People wearing his t-shirt suddenly trying to turn him into some sort of a martyr and just excusing the fact that he lived a life of violent crime.
Very, very bizarre to see this.
And it's not the only circumstance.
It seems that we are even looking at this in terms of Gypsy Rose Blanchard.
People are going, oh, I don't suffer that.
I don't suffer from feeling bad for individuals that do horrific things.
Take this recent circumstances I'm sure that you have seen in the media.
The clip has gone absolutely viral.
It is a clip of a man named Diobra Reddin.
He is 30 years old.
Most recently, he pled guilty to the felony charge of attempted battery with substantial
bodily harm after prosecutors accused him of threatening to bust another man's kneecaps
and swinging with a bat at him.
In February 2023, he also pleaded guilty to malicious destruction of property.
Court records also reveal that Diobra Redden has gone through the district court's mental
health court program twice since 2020.
He's been convicted in three prior felonies, attempted theft in 2015, battery with substantial
bodily harm in 2018, and battery constituting domestic violence in 2021.
He's also previously been accused of kicking an officer while he was being arrested in
2016 and biting a woman and breaking a vehicle's windows as part of the 2018 battery charge.
Does that sound like a person that you want to live next door to?
A person that you want to live around your children, maybe have access to parks, just be walking around freely?
Or is there something that you feel bad about when you hear that?
Well, people... Apparently do.
We'll take a look at this video, as I've mentioned recently, of him being sentenced by Judge Mary Kay Hothis from the Clark County District Court, while she was at least mid-sentencing him when he decided to attack her.
Take a look. I appreciate that, but I think it's time that he gets a taste of something else, because I just can't with that history.
In accordance with the laws of state in Nevada, this court...
Oh, f***! Hey!
Seems like a nice guy.
Can't imagine how he ever ended up in prison.
Well, apparently his family, his foster mother, being among the family members who have spoken out, and she just wants you to understand, she was obviously in a state of shock when she saw that.
She doesn't condone what he did, but she describes that situation as heartbreaking, and she thinks that the reason he did it was because he was just getting his life on track, and he was very surprised to hear the sentencing that was being handed down to him.
She said, quote, He just got out, got an apartment.
He did everything right.
In his mind, he didn't think he was going back to prison.
And that's her justification for why he acted that way.
Adding to that is his sister, LaDonna Daniels.
She wants people to understand that her brother has a mental condition that has not been taken into consideration, was not being taken into consideration as he was being sentenced.
They believe he suffers from bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and exposure to cocaine in
his system when he was born, which are all contributing factors to his reaction in court
that led to him attacking the judge.
So we should be understanding because he has schizophrenia.
He was also introduced to cocaine when he was a child.
Again, we're going to go back and look into the childhood of a person.
And I guess as a society, we're supposed to say, well, release him.
I told you he was exposed to cocaine when he was really young.
Now again, I might just be a cold-hearted biatch, but to me, everything that they're telling us about him signals that he should be in prison forever, right?
If you're telling me that he suffers from a mental condition, that makes it so that he reacts in a violent manner.
All throughout his life, apparently.
That's what is being best evident.
This person is not fit to be walking the streets.
He is not fit to be in society, okay?
He is not fit to be near playgrounds and parks.
I don't want to see him at a grocery store.
I don't want to see him at a parking lot.
I don't want to see him anywhere.
Green eggs and ham, okay?
Not here nor there.
Nowhere do I want to see this person in society, okay?
But I guess that makes me a bad person.
So he was due to be sentenced again in a courtroom following this incident.
Obviously the charges have been upped as he just brutally beat a judge.
And here is how he is now being held.
You can see in this photograph that they have him muzzled to prevent him from biting people,
and they have his hands covered.
I deem that to be appropriate.
Obviously, this is a violent individual, who again, we just watched him beat down a judge.
But never fear, Twitter is here.
Somebody saw this image and said, no, he is the victim.
This person, tweeting under an account handle that says the viral underclass...
Wrote, how it started, how it's going, it's called a slave iron bit.
And he does a side-by-side of Diobra Reddin next to a pictorial, a picture, a drawing, rather, of a slave wearing a bit where they are being muzzled and their neck is locked.
And you're supposed to, I don't know, man, look at your heartstrings and go, oh my God, no.
How could they do this to black people?
Obviously, it's because of racism.
It must be because of racism.
Everything's racist.
No! Because he's a violent maniac.
And obviously, this had to be done to keep the public at large safe.
That used to be aspirational, by the way.
Keeping the public at large safe.
No longer feeling bad for prisoners and criminals and convicts is something that I think we should aspire to in 2024.
Do you want to join me?
If you think that is ridiculous and egregious, trying to make us feel bad for Dio Brat Reddin, this story coming out of Norway, I could not believe.
You may have heard his name.
The psychopathic maniac's name, rather, is Anders Breivik.
Now, in case you're wondering and you have not heard of who Anders Breivik is, here is his backstory.
He's a neo-Nazi who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, okay?
He killed eight people with a car bomb in Oslo, and then he shot dead 69 people at a
summer youth camp.
So what happened because of this?
Well, in case you don't know about Norway, they believe in humanity.
They believe that no matter what somebody does, they should be treated humanely.
And he was only sentenced to 21 years.
By the way, that's because that is the maximum penalty that a court in Norway can impose.
So he was sentenced to 21 years in solitary confinement.
And Anders Breivik is now suing Norway over his prison isolation.
Now, when you think of prison isolation, when you think of people that are in solitary confinement, you might be reflecting on the American prison system.
Not in Norway.
I want you to actually take a look at this video of the prison that Anders Breivik is being held in.
Take a look. So you can see a washer.
You can see a dryer.
You can see a gym.
You can see a flat-screen TV. You can see plush leather chairs.
There are birds. Oh, animals.
How nice, because the prisoners may need that.
The prisoners may need access to an animal to make them feel good.
You see there are books on the shelves.
There is access to a yard.
It's covered in snow at the moment, but also you can see some sort of an indoor patio as well.
Oh, look! Also, there is a gym, a basketball court rather, in the communal area.
This is the prison that he is being held at, and we're supposed to feel bad for him.
You want to know what his conditions are?
I will list them to you. This is his world.
This is according to a BBC article.
He has access to three cells, one for sleeping, one for studying, one for exercising, plus
daily access to an exercise yard.
He's allowed to play video games.
He's allowed to watch TV and read newspapers.
He also has access to a computer.
He's allowed to prepare his own food and do his own washing.
And he is given access.
He's allowed to have phone conversations with a quote-unquote female friend.
I'm sure that's probably some crazy person that's attracted to him.
There's always one in every crowd.
He is given contact with the prison staff, his lawyers, a priest, as well as health professionals.
And he has declined to play chess with volunteers because some good-hearted people say, I will play chess with this maniac.
He doesn't want to do that.
He also built a gingerbread house as part of a prison competition.
Now, to be clear, he has been in isolation, if that's what we're calling it, for 12 years.
And his lawyer is saying that these conditions are inhumane.
She says, quote, that he lives in a completely locked world.
He does not wish to be alive anymore.
Now, in my view, that is more of a reason than anything to keep him alive forever.
You want me to feel bad that he is suffering after he murdered 77 people?
He shot and killed 69 people?
He blew up eight people with a car bomb?
And she is appearing before the judge to say that he is living in an inhumane circumstance with access to all of that?
Have we gone mad?
Really, that is my question. Have we just gone completely mad in the Western world?
A mass formation psychosis brought to us by the media, which keeps trying to rebrand psychopaths as people that should be understood, that we should feel something for.
Where is your empathy?
Where is your sympathy? Where is your understanding for all of these criminals and these drug addicts who keep committing crimes and murders?
Don't you just want them walking amongst you?
I don't. I never did.
I don't feel bad for them, no matter what the circumstances.
I don't need to look into their childhood and look deep into their hearts because they are harming people in this society.
That's what I want for 2024.
I want all of us to wake up to the fact that we need to stop feeling bad for criminals.
Honestly, not a big ask.
That's all I'm going to say about that.
As we head toward another presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of is that 2024 is about to get crazy.
How will your hard-earned savings fare?
You already see the impact of inflation at the pump and the grocery store.

Okay, now it's time for some Topics du Jour.
No question, we are living amongst the dumbest generation of human beings that have ever existed in human history.
That's not even a question, not even for debate, especially in the West.
Actually, I would say almost exclusive to the West.
Western society is falling apart.
And it's largely because we're extremely privileged.
There's no suffering, right?
And so when there's no suffering, we just start to make ourselves suffer.
We start looking for things, these fake social justice pursuits, trying to look for bad stuff everywhere because actually we all grew up quite well, right?
We're not suffering like our great-grandparents were suffering or our great-great-grandparents were suffering.
And it's especially problematic here in America, where we have seen this initiative,
an utterly stupid initiative to push DEI, which stands for diversity, equity and inclusion,
which means I no longer wanna hire you based on merit.
I want to intentionally pursue people based on how they look.
I want to include people based on how they look, right?
Cause it makes you feel good or something.
And so kind of a war of words has broken out if you're not following this between two billionaires,
Elon Musk and Mark Cuban about DEI and how foolish or not foolish it is.
And Elon Musk is quite a sensible man.
He believes that DEI, he wrote this tweet to Mark Cuban, or in general, actually he wrote this tweet to a journalist,
discrimination on the basis of race, which DEI does is literally the definition of racism.
That is pretty to the point and accurate, of course.
If you are saying that you are going to—this is such a thing as positive discrimination.
Oh, you know, I was going to hire this person, but I'm glad that you're a black person, and so I'm going to hire you instead.
How about you just hire the best person for the job?
Hello, meritocracy.
Well, Mark Cuban doesn't like this and he is writing a long-winded post to Elon Musk to explain to him the benefits of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
I'm going to go through this quickly, but here are some of his points.
He says, We're good to go.
That makes absolutely no sense.
It's just ridiculous. The Diobra person that we just covered who jumped the judge, right? There are people that you naturally say are not qualified for a position because as a capitalist and a person that is running a business, common sense dictates to you that you should hire the person that is best qualified for the job, not on a basis of how they look necessarily.
But he goes on to then talk about why equity is good.
Treating people equally does not mean treating them the same.
I made the mistake for a lot of years thinking that it did.
No, it does, Mark.
Don't overthink this.
Treating people equally does mean that you are treating them the same.
You don't start treating people exceptionally on the basis of how they look.
You don't say, well, because you're a woman, I'm going to treat you like this.
Or because you're a man, I'm going to treat you like this.
I agree with that.
Great companies create environments that reduce the unnecessary stress of their employees.
I'm not talking about hitting a quota or getting the product out the door, which in turn increases productivity.
This is what inclusion is all about.
Making all employees, no matter who they are or how they see themselves, feel comfortable in their environment and able to do their job.
Again, it's not easy.
Yay! Rainbow sprinkles.
I'm going to make everybody feel good today.
How are you feeling? How are you feeling today?
How are you feeling today?
How is everybody? I just want to make sure everybody's feeling okay.
Does everybody want to skittle? Are we all...
No! No!
Leave your drama at the door.
I don't care what you are going through.
The purpose of running a business is for everybody to show up and to perform, okay?
A society can't thrive, a business can't thrive when you care about every single emotion of every person that walks through the door.
We need less of that, obviously.
If we're going to be able to even compete with other countries, do you think this is happening?
Do you think that the billionaires in China are writing threads like this?
Of course not. Well, this debate sort of reached a fever pitch between these two billionaires when an Alaskan airline flight, you probably saw this in the news, had a door that just flew off of its hinges mid-flight with 170 people on board.
Apparently, it had some loose door bolts.
Unbelievable. Here, you can see the picture here.
Gratefully, nobody was sitting in those two seats that are being pictured.
And because they had really just taken off, everybody mostly had their seatbelts on.
So nobody died midair.
But of course, this could have been a tremendous tragedy.
Imagine if this was flying to Hawaii.
If this was flying over water, this would have been A bunch of people would have died.
That is the truth. We're good to go.
And so Elon Musk and Mark Cuban picked up their feud online pertaining to this.
And Mark Cuban is essentially trying to say that the DEI policies and the training policies that all of these airline carriers are now practicing are totally fine.
It's totally fine because eventually qualified people are going to be flying these planes.
Listen, let me be very clear.
I do not want DEI policies, especially when they are being dictated by billionaires who don't even touch their own door handles, right?
When a billionaire like Mark Cuban, who does not fly public, it's ironic that he is weighing in on this and saying that these DEI policies are good for you guys.
They're going to be great for all of us, not great for him, because again, he probably has multiple planes.
He doesn't fly private. I don't want it.
You shouldn't want it either.
You should not care if every pilot in the sky is a white, straight male.
You shouldn't care. You should just want the best pilot to be in the sky.
And I'm going to be honest.
We're all being honest.
I think we can agree.
I prefer male pilots.
We recently saw some airline, I think it was Southwest, where they said, this is gonna be the first flight
where there's two women, there's two women pilots in the air.
I'm not particularly comfortable with that.
There is this natural instinct that we have to want to see certain sexes in certain positions.
That natural instinct is being guided by our biology.
That biology is then determining the sociology of our society, okay?
When it comes to having a nurse, if I had to have a bedside nurse that takes care of me
in the hospital, like when you give birth, I want a woman.
There's a reason for that.
Women, the natural components of our femininity, it leads to us being more nurturing.
Women know what to do with children.
When it comes to me being able to leave the house and trust that my children are taken care of,
I want a woman in that role.
I don't know if that makes me a sexist.
I don't particularly care.
I'm not going to, just because I want to morally crusade about DEI, hire a bunch of men to
take care of my kids.
I want a lady when it comes to that, and when it comes to engineering, when it comes to
mechanics, when it comes to cars, when it comes to pilots and planes, I want a man.
You know why?
Because I'm raising a son, and I see that their brains work differently.
I see that my little two-year-old son's fascination with every garbage truck, plane in the sky, how he wants to sit there and understand how it works, that is natural.
He has a natural proclivity towards that, while my girl wants to play with Barbie dolls and sing songs.
She naturally seems to be more nurturing in those aspects.
I refuse to live in a society that is governed by some ridiculous idea that we can't acknowledge that there are differences between the sexes.
So yeah, go ahead, add it to the long list of things that I am.
I don't know if that makes me an internalized misogynist or a sexist, but I prefer my pilots.
To be smart, well-equipped, and yeah, male at the end of the day.
Not saying that it ain't a great thing when some woman breaks barriers and decides that she's going to fly a plane and that's what she'd want to do from the day that she was born.
But I consider that to be the exception, and I prefer to follow the rules.
Alright guys, now we turn to Black Twitter.
In case you aren't aware of what Black Twitter is, it's basically exactly what it sounds like.
Black people on Twitter.
And I am going to tell you something.
Black people remain undefeated when it comes to hilarious random tweets.
And so I was scrolling through Black Twitter last night, and when I tell you I was in absolute stitches, and then I suddenly had an inherent sadness that just came over me when I realized that this one Black tweeter ruined aspects of my childhood.
Here is what she tweeted, just to leave you guys with a laugh and something that is also going to ruin your own childhood.
She tweeted, The Wicked Witch of the West have every reason to light Dorothy's ass up.
How are you going to kill my sister and steal her red bottoms, you hillbilly bleep?
Honestly, this blew me away.
I never considered this.
What a strange story that we are all celebrating.
Dorothy kills somebody's sister, and then she steals her Louboutins, her red bottoms, as she has pointed out.
And we suddenly say that the witch is wicked for trying to get back the only piece of paraphernalia that she has to remind her of her sister.
Somehow this woman just gave this product to Dorothy and she starts skipping down a yellow brick road.
That's an absolute injustice.
I want us all to consider the natural, just the immorality of it altogether.
We're talking about immorality as a concept in our society.
I think this is when the mass psychosis began for criminality.
I think it started with The Wizard of Oz.
We started realizing, we started hailing Dorothy as a hero.
No, she wasn't a hero. She was a murderer, and she was a thief, and she belonged in prison.
That's all I'm going to say on that topic.
A few decades ago, private citizens used to be largely that, private.
The internet has changed everything.
Think about everything that you've browsed, searched for, watched, or tweeted.
Now imagine all of that data being crawled through, collected, and aggregated by third parties into a permanent public record.
Your record. Having your private life exposed for others to see was once something only celebrities worried about.
But in an era where everyone is online, everyone is a public figure.
To keep my data private when I go online, I turn to ExpressVPN.
Did you know that there are hundreds of data brokers out there whose sole business is to buy and sell your data?
The worst part is they don't even have to tell you who they're selling it to or get your consent.
One of these data points is your IP address.
Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location.
With ExpressVPN, my connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and my IP address becomes masked.
Every time I turn on ExpressVPN, I'm given a random IP address that is shared by other ExpressVPN customers.
That makes it much more difficult for third parties to identify me and harvest my data.
The best part is how easy it is to use.
No matter what device that you're on, your phone, your laptop, or your smart TV, all you have to do is tap one button to get protected.
So if, like me, you believe that your data is your business, secure yourself with the number one rated VPN on the market.

That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash Candice.
Alright guys, let's jump into some of your comments regarding episodes past.
These first set of comments are pertaining to trauma dumping.
I saw you guys commenting on this on Instagram.
I am glad that I am not the only person that thinks it's weird when women set up their cameras and they cry.
And then they just share themselves crying and people comment that they're brave and that they're stunning for
sharing aspects of their life Becky writes it's narcissism
Stop labeling everything that makes you feel bad as trauma it dilutes real trauma and puts those
Who deal with real trauma in harm's way because if everybody has it no one does stop it. I agree
Even the things that they are categorizing as trauma...
Not really that traumatic.
It's just things that you go through.
Of course, the clip that we showed you yesterday was of a woman crying because her son suddenly wanted dad more.
Yeah, I deal with that non-trauma.
Yeah, boys want to be around their dads.
It's obviously beautiful.
It should be celebrated.
And yeah, when you see it, you're like, hey, I carried you for 10 months and now all you want to do is fight with your dad with swords.
Yeah. The Pretty Conservative writes, Like, the attention-seeking behavior is too much.
Similar thing when people always record and post their quiet time with Jesus.
Like, you've gotten your reward from man now.
LOL. That is very true.
And yeah, I made fun of yesterday the beginning setup of actually feeling the emotion and then setting up your camera.
But it also is bizarre to consider what happens at the end of that.
You finish the cry...
And then you stop and you hit post.
All of it, every second of it, when you consider it, is just bonkers.
Stop doing it, ladies. Whispering Goddess writes, normalize keeping your life private from the internet because a bunch of strangers do not need to know every single detail of your life.
Normalize crying a river, building a bridge, and getting over it.
Yes, ma'am. Life is tough.
Get a helmet. Starring Becky writes, button it up should really be America's resolution for 2024, honestly.
Yes, that's what I say. You gotta button it up, buttercup.
You really do. And the internet is just not a place to be dumping your emotions.
Because I do agree, it is just a showcasing of narcissism which has become widespread.
It is about the need for you to be seen and to be acknowledged.
And I did see, by the way, somebody who wrote a comment saying, no, no, no, no, no, this is a good thing.
I'm going to do something like this, you know, to spread awareness.
I think she said about domestic abuse or rape.
Why do you need to cry to do that?
Why can't you just share a story or talk about those topics?
You can talk about a topic to spread awareness.
You don't need to fake cry on the internet.
Regarding the quadruple amputee, Cindy Mullins, that we showed you guys yesterday, I was so
glad to see that you guys were equally as inspired by her faith, her resilience, her
graciousness, her understanding that this is just the cards that the Lord gave her for
a reason, and again, her gratefulness to just be alive and to be able to see her children,
her two boys and her husband, despite the fact that she went in for a kidney stone,
becoming infected, and woke up to find that all of her limbs were removed because things
had gone septic.
Karen Hall writes, Cindy is from my small town.
I am so happy to see her faith and love in Christ be an example throughout the world
During this extremely difficult lifelong journey in her life. Some people hear this and think how can she think God
loves her?
This has been some of the disheartening comments. I've seen on social media
What these people don't understand is she is a clear example of a person that with Christ is
Thankful and able to see the positive instead of focus on the negative. I totally agree with you again
Again, just a tremendous perspective that she has held.
And if we can even see just the beginning of why God picked her for this— Look at the way it has impacted me, how it has impacted the people that watch this show, how people now are listening to our story and are reexamining themselves because of it.
Like realizing, wow, think about what I complained about.
You know, I shared a story about how I was going through so much mental strife post-pregnancy because I had a surgery, which I talked about in A Shot in the Dark.
And I look at her and I'm like, wow, Candice, perspective.
God does not give you more than you can handle.
Finally, I am Elda Diaz writes, Lucinda Mullins, what an amazing woman.
I have to have a back tooth extraction next month, and I've been so upset about it until Candice spoke about Lucinda.
She snapped me right out of my self-pity.
Thank you, Lucinda.
Thank you, Cindy, as you go by Cindy, for snapping us all out of our self-pity parties.
Really, just a tremendous example.
And there will be more of that. I always want to leave you guys with something happy.
That's one of my resolutions, to leave you with something happy or something funny at the end of every episode.
And yeah, Dorothy was definitely a hillbilly biatch criminal.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is all the time that we have for today.
