And on the topic of Madonna, it is definitely time to put grandma in a home.
Plus, later on in the show, you're not going to believe it.
The kids in New York City are off from school today, not because there's a blizzard or a snowstorm, but because it's It is storming illegal immigrants, and so they cannot go to school.
I am not being funny.
That is a real event happening right now.
All that and more today coming up on Candace Owens.
You know, Hollywood perversion, obviously, it's a topic that we cover on this show a lot.
And I feel as though two years ago, there was an anger, an understandable anger.
We were all very angry at just how raunchy things had become, just how filthy things had become.
And I would say that things definitely reached, for me personally, a fever pitch when Cardi B was welcomed to the Grammys alongside Megan Thee Stallion, and they performed her song, WAP. Now...
We don't need to rehash WAP, but I want to tell you guys, I have never actually read the full lyrics of WAP until very recently, and I am being very serious when I say that all of you should take time today to read the actual lyrics.
It is shockingly filthy.
It is shockingly disgusting.
I'm not being funny at all.
I'm not being dramatic at all when I say that I think the song might register as the most We're good to go.
And so I just want to jog your memory on that performance because it's relevant today.
Take a listen to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, or take a watch rather, of them dancing to
WAP on the Grammy stage.
So yeah, it was just basically strippers that were dancing on stage.
They had a big bed and it was supposed to be shocking and it was quite shocking that we had come to this place in society where at first the Grammy stage used to be Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, all these classical beautiful performances and now we just have this raunchy material.
And I think, and I think I'm correct about this, that Cardi was quite embarrassed about that performance.
I think she was quite emotional when I look back on that feud, and she was just trying to say anything to me on the internet.
She notoriously made fun of me and shared a video of me making my husband a sandwich
and said that I was sending women back decades for taking care of my family.
I was pregnant in the video and I was making my husband a sandwich.
Very proud of that, proud to be a conservative, and certainly not embarrassed of her having
shared that video.
But what was interesting was the media rushed to defend her.
They condemned conservatives.
Remember, there were all the headlines, conservatives just can't get over WAP.
Conservatives just won't leave her WAP alone.
But conspicuously missing from all those publications was the fact that no journalist, no man, nowhere
in the cultural sphere did anybody call her attractive.
Just imagine how embarrassing that is.
You're a woman. You have just written an entire song about your vagina and how amazing it is and how men are obsessed with it.
You're a married woman, by the way, with children.
And nobody's calling you hot.
Not even your most ardent defenders think that you are beautiful and sexy.
No one said the conservatives just don't realize how sexy this is.
No men said, mmm, I just can't wait to get with Cardi B. Do you know why?
Because it was too much. It actually was too much.
And so, in a way, I felt bad that she had put so much of her nude body on the internet, had talked about her nether regions in a song, in the most disgusting, again, in the most, again, read the lyrics, filthiest manner that you could possibly discuss it.
And nobody cared.
No one wanted her more.
An update now, of course, and I'm saying this honestly with sadness in my heart, is that Cardi B's husband, who had already cheated on her, cheated on her more and again and again, and they are now separated.
So ha-ha, Candace, making your husband a sandwich, not putting your goods on the internet, and this is where her life has led her.
I hope genuinely that Cardi makes different decisions in the future.
Uh, We're good to go.
A great example recently, Lil Nas X. He once sort of broke the internet because it was so outrageous that he was twerking on Satan.
You know, he's a gay man, and this is kind of what the gay men in Hollywood are doing.
We're going to toy with Satan and themes of Christianity to make you guys outraged, and that used to work.
But it didn't work this time around.
You probably missed this.
This happened. This is Lil Nas X. His new single is coming out, dedicated to the man who had the greatest comeback of all.
He's calling the single J. Christ.
Now, of course, having a person that is mocking Jesus Christ, so that this can be seen, it's obviously meant to be blasphemous, is supposed to make Christians outraged.
It's supposed to make us shout.
He's supposed to trend on Twitter because he's doing this.
It's outrageous. He's done this before, obviously.
Here's another example of him dressed up like an angel holding guns.
He's also promoting the same music video that's going to be coming out.
He is desperate for your attention.
He's desperate for your outrage.
This is the only way that he can make money.
Here's another video of him. He's taking shots during a communion.
Take a listen. He's like, come on, please look at me.
Look how outrageous I'm being. How disrespectful I'm being.
Jesus Christ to Christianity.
Aren't you guys outraged?
We looked at the comments and there weren't many.
It turns out that people are kind of getting bored with this.
We've gone past caring.
We're in this state of apathy.
We get it. You don't have any talent to offer.
So you are just trying to be outrageous.
Even the media is kind of bored of covering this.
You remember, notoriously, Sam Smith.
He did this entire satanic display at an award show.
I think it might have been the VMAs.
And it's because...
They have nothing else to offer in terms of getting attention.
It's kind of sad if you think about it.
It's very tacky.
And so Madonna, in case you missed it, is on tour.
Now, I will say this. I didn't grow up in a Madonna household.
I guess she was big in the 80s for being the Sam Smith and the little Nas X, taking her clothes off in the absence of talent.
She doesn't have a remarkable voice.
But I want to be clear that Madonna is now 65 years old.
65 years old. I mean, she is now qualified to get the senior discount at IHOP. That's something I'm looking forward to, by the way, the senior discount at IHOP. I think that's wonderful.
But rather than sitting down with her grandchildren and getting that discount at IHOP, Madonna has decided that she is going to keep being what she perceives in her head is sexy.
And of course, it's anything but.
Here is a recent clip of Madonna dancing on a beam on her recent tour.
Take a listen. And I want to be clear what's amazing about this clip is that we know that old people and babies have a lot in common, right? You know, once you're older, you start losing your teeth, you start losing your ability to get around in the same way that babies are learning and they're growing, and they need guidance.
Well, here is a clip that is remarkably similar to what you just saw, except this is a clip of my two-year-old dancing.
Take a listen. Amazing.
Amazing. It's the same thing.
Give it to me side by side.
I mean, amazing.
Literally, that is my two year old dancing on vacation.
And that is Madonna, which you have to pay to to go see her on tour.
You don't have to pay much, actually.
She's not able to sell out a stadium anymore because it's kind of disturbing.
It's disturbing to see this.
Now, of course, because the media is the media, they are rushing to defend her because everyone is kind of going, is it maybe time to hang it up and just go to IHOP with your grandkids?
And the answer, of course, is yes.
But the media says that acknowledging that makes you an ageist.
It makes you an ageist to recognize that watching her move around on stage trying to be sexy makes you uncomfortable in the same way that you would feel uncomfortable if you watched your own grandma do this.
Here's another clip of Madonna looking like she's lost on stage.
It's like zombie land.
She looks like a zombie.
So the media is telling you that you are an ageist if you don't think this is sexy.
You're an ageist. You have a problem with women aging.
No, we don't have a problem with women aging.
In fact, the only person that I see in that clip that has a problem with people aging is Madonna.
Madonna, of course, is herself an ageist.
She's terrified of aging.
It is why she has stretched and pulled her face beyond recognition.
It is why people are now saying accurately, as I have said for years,
that she more resembles Jigsaw than a human being.
Madonna looks like a character in a horror film because she won't allow herself to age gracefully.
So I think what's happening now as they try to be more and more outrageous,
more and more thought-provoking, we know it's not thought-provoking,
it's not art, it's not interesting, is that people have become apathetic
and in many ways sympathetic.
All people that I just mentioned do not have great personal lives.
When you look into their personal lives, you realize that what is happening beneath all of this, that they are pretending it's art and they're pretending that it's interesting, it's just human sadness.
It's human sadness. And so, as Christians, those of you that are Christians, we should pray for them.
Just as people that are observing this, you should feel sympathy for them.
It's not creative. It's tacky.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Okay, now it's time for some Topics Du Jour.
You know, I don't mean to sound like a dinosaur.
I don't mean to date myself.
But when I was a kid, we used to get days off when there was too much snow.
I grew up in Connecticut, right in the New York City metro area.
And you used to look forward to snow, and you'd turn the TV on, and they'd tell you whether you had a 90-minute delay or whether you had school off.
Yay! Too much snow.
It's a snow day.
Amazing. Well, now the kid's got a little something else going on.
They get school off.
I don't know if they're still checking the TVs.
Not because there's too much snow on the ground, because there's a blizzard of snow.
Rather, there's a blizzard of illegal immigrants.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not kidding. It's not funny.
It is a little funny, but funny-sad.
Funny in a very sad way.
I'm not joking when I tell you guys that New York City high school students have now been forced into remote learning because there's too many migrants, and the migrants need somewhere to live, and so they're giving them the schools.
Could you imagine being a New York City resident and paying for taxes for your children to have to learn remotely so that these schools that you have paid for to be built and for your children to occupy are available to Look at this clip of the migrants who have just gotten off the buses.
The buses that your taxpayer dollars are going towards are entering the New York City school.
Look at this. This is incredible.
There we are. A family of illegal immigrants coming in.
This is the new thing happening in Brooklyn, all throughout New York City.
I would be outraged if my tax dollars were going toward this.
It is shocking to me that people are still voting Democrat in this city and pretending that this is an act of compassion, that this influx of migrants are coming in because they need a better life and not because they're getting a bunch of free stuff.
That is being offered to them by a government that wants to harness them eventually for the power of voting.
It is abundantly obvious that that is the purpose here, is to get as many of them in as possible, and then to say that you need to redraw lines and we've got more people that are living here.
Now, in case you thought that was outrageous, that's not the only thing that these inner-city Demet communities are being asked to do.
Not only should you keep your child at home on an illegal immigrant blizzard day, but also we are going to ask you if you will shelter these migrants in your own homes.
Yes, let's cut to what is going on in Massachusetts.
Governor Healy of Massachusetts is now asking residents to house migrant families.
The governor said that anywhere between 10 to 30 migrant families a day are coming into Massachusetts.
There are 40 hotels across the state that are helping to house them, but that isn't enough.
The governor is now pleading for help from you at home.
He says that close to 5,600 families are currently housed in the state's emergency shelter system,
and that number is 80 percent higher than one year ago.
And it would be helpful, obviously, if just the residents would open up their homes to
them entirely.
Massachusetts has been spending around $45 million a month to help assist these families.
We should rephrase that. When we say Massachusetts is spending, we mean you.
We mean when you go home, if you live in Massachusetts, when you go to work, rather, and you are putting in that 9 to 5 when you come home and you're tired, this is where your hard-earned money is going towards.
When you see in the news that they are going to raise taxes, this is one of the reasons
that they may need to raise taxes in the near future.
The situation is so bad that the Healey administration is now asking people and businesses to help
people in need.
So if you are also just a mom and pop shop that's operating, wouldn't it be nice if you
also allowed a migrant family to live there for the time being?
Now I would say no, but that would make me not compassionate.
It's just hilarious now to realize in retrospect, just think about the Democrats that pretended
that this was an act of compassion, that refused to acknowledge a crisis at the border, that
tried to pretend that Donald Trump saying that we needed a wall was something that was
racist or backwards or xenophobic and wrong, and not actually simply an American first
policy.
Understanding that if we kept up this influx of people migrating to our country, pretending
that it's because they're just looking for a better opportunity, well, to be fair, it
is a better opportunity when you have handouts, when you have the government that's willing
to steal from hardworking families and to instead give those dollars to migrants.
Yeah, I guess it is an opportunity for them.
But looking at them castigating that and calling it racist now, it is undeniable.
It is undeniable.
And in terms of these inner-city communities like New York City, should we feel bad for the residents?
You get what you vote for.
I think that's one perspective.
You get what you vote for over and over again.
And these people are starting to understand that there's probably not going to be a way back.
So that is something to watch that is actually happening.
Amazing. As I said, I'm old.
I'm a dinosaur. We used to just have blizzards of snow.
Blizzards of illegal immigration.
That's the new thing.
Look forward to a 90-minute delay one day.
In other news, and this is definitely causing some waves, especially amongst the LGBTQ community,
Pope Francis is calling surrogate motherhood deplorable.
He is asking for there to be a global ban on the practice.
Take a listen to what he had to say in recent remarks.
I believe the practice of the so-called surrogate maternity, which is clearly the dignity of the mother and the son.
This is based on the use of a situation of material need for the mother.
A child is always a gift, never the object of a contract.
Now, if you are listening to the podcast and you did not see the subtitles on that, I will tell you what he said.
I know that this is quite a touchy subject.
I know when I read the comments, I had been talking about this a lot last year.
I was a person that I would say years ago supported surrogacy because I couldn't see
anything that would be wrong with it.
Because in my mind, and I'm sure in the mind of many people that are listening to this,
you picture this being an industry that was built for the mother who tried to have children
for 10 years and put up her home, sold her home, trying to do IVF treatments.
And then eventually she turned to the practice of surrogacy.
Maybe she looked at her sister and said, well, you carry my child, and was able to receive
this gift of surrogacy.
But as I have been showing you is that this is becoming something else.
And irrespective of how you may have felt about that practice, you need to open your
eyes to what is happening now.
I actually know an individual who shut down her entire surrogacy clinic in California because what she recognized was this was becoming something luxurious.
This was a bunch of gay married men that were coming in and deciding that they could afford to use a woman to carry their child.
They're not emotionally attached to the process.
It is a form of trafficking.
These women who sign up to become surrogates are desperate for money.
It is the poorest people that are putting forth their bodies, hoping that they can get some cash from these people.
And, as I said, they're not attached to the process whatsoever because they do not have
that maternal instinct.
The high rates of miscarriage that happens, these gay couples are not attached to that
process.
They don't care.
Whatever, find us another woman that will carry this child.
I have seen that up close.
And in recognizing how that was taking place, realized that this industry could go awry,
In addition to that, not just talking about gay married men that are abusing this, we are also seeing people that already have kids.
We talked about Chrissy Teigen.
I've already got three kids, but I want one more.
Women that just didn't want to selfishly give their bodies and want to have a child at 54 years old.
I can afford it, and I wanted my career, and now I want to find some woman that will simply give me a child.
Pay attention to the surrogates that are talking about how they lived through this process and what it did to their bodies.
We can't ignore this.
It's a category, as I said, it's a topic that makes people uncomfortable.
But I believe that this is an area of science that we hoped would be used for good and now it is being used for evil.
And I very much support Pope Francis talking about this, calling for a global ban, calling for people to wake up
and recognize what has happened and what is happening in this industry
that is now just being unrestricted.
It has become almost an industry for the LGBTQ community.
And in the process, it is a denial, in my view, of women's rights.
I mean, to even set up a child to not have a mother, you know, knowing that you're going into this saying we're just going to be two dads.
Children need their mothers.
They need their mothers. Infants especially need their mothers.
Our entire call, biologically, you recognize, is because the infant needs to be supported by its mother.
Our ability to breastfeed all of these things is because God created us to be able, as the people that are able to raise an infant up from a time that they are young.
And I am not liking what I'm seeing in the industry.
I will continue to speak about that on this podcast, even though I know that some people are not yet there in recognizing what this industry has become.
Alright guys, I promised you that every day we're going to try to give you one good piece of news.
And today, obviously, we are mocking celebrities and their push to be more radical and more controversial when in reality, what they look like to us is just sad and that's what they are.
But there is one person that is in the news.
you might remember him, Frankie Muniz. He had a hit sitcom when he was a child called
Malcolm in the Middle. And usually, as I have shown very much on this podcast, child stars
end up—they're doomed. They're just doomed. I mean, whether you're talking about Amanda
Bynes and what she is going through mentally, we have seen that play out, whether you're
talking about Britney Spears. There are so many examples of them. They just don't turn
out right mentally. Well, here is a different circumstance.
This star, Frankie Muniz, he's now 38 years old.
And he is speaking out about the fact that he has never in his entire life had a sip of alcohol.
Take a listen. Moving to Scottsdale in 2008, I think saved my life.
And I don't mean that in the sense like where I was...
I'm 38.
I've still never had a sip of alcohol.
I've never done drugs.
I've never done anything. So I don't mean in that sense.
I don't mean in the sense of like, oh, I'm going to go off the deep end.
At 18 years old was the first time that I was really kind of around it.
And in my mind, going back to the time thing, I felt like I had made it so long.
Without it, that I was kind of like, I'm not going to start now.
That is wonderful. That is so wonderful to hear that somebody could make it out of Hollywood despite being offered alcohol.
He just said, you know what, I've made it this long, when he was just obviously a very young buck, 18 years old, and I just don't want to have it.
And then he moved away out of Hollywood, and you can just see the lightness in his eyes.
It's a rare story, but a remarkable one.
And it's worth sharing that not every person that goes into Hollywood comes out demented with tons of issues.
He seems remarkably happy.
And like I said, you can still see that light in his eyes.
So kudos to you, Frankie Muniz, for being an example, I think, for the industry, which they're probably not going to allow you to lead by your example, but also to all of us to know that you can resist and you don't have to give in to that particular culture.
And what's at the end of that, if you do resist Hollywood and Hollywood trends, it's probably going to be a lot of happiness.

All right, guys, now it's time to get into some of your comments regarding episodes past.
Yesterday, I asked if it might be possible for us as a society to stop feeling bad for criminals, if we could stop that mass formation psychosis.
Some of you responded, and you heard me.
You said, yes, we can do that.
Maria writes, Wow, Candace, you are absolutely right about how they want us to feel bad for criminals.
I had never thought about that, but that's exactly how I felt when I saw the Jeffrey Dahmer show on Netflix, how they went back into his childhood and showed how his parents neglected him.
I did feel bad. But it's like, wait a minute, this man literally ate people.
It's weird, right? Do you know how many children are currently suffering or have parents that have Munchausen syndrome and didn't grow up and kill their moms?
It's like saying that this is the only route.
You have to become a murderer or you have to become a person that steals or harms other people.
No, there are plenty of examples of people that grew up in the school of hard knocks and didn't resort to criminality.
Don't allow the media to convince you otherwise.
Sarah writes I personally find it fascinating understanding why a criminal does what he does and what life
Circumstances led them to the place that they are if any I think we have completed understanding a behavior with excusing
the said behavior One can have empathy, but one shouldn't let that emotion
subvert justice and more importantly Societal safety that is correct
And what I want to also say is that the entire narrative that we should feel bad for criminals
That is particularly being sold to women because it is an aspect of our femininity
We do want to nurture we do want to understand we are naturally compassionate, and that's beautiful
But when the mainstream media hijacks that compassion you don't see any men that are like oh
We should feel bad for Jeffrey Dahmer. They would be like have you lost your mind. There's no men that are like
Oh gypsy Rose Blanchard. Oh, I feel so bad for her like she should become a celebrity
It is a particularly female trait.
It is a wonderful trait, but we have to be vigilant and not allow that trait to be hijacked.
Melody writes, There it is.
Sometimes therapy can work, and also sometimes just having a basic operating moral compass is Can work, you know?
I didn't have the most wonderful childhood when I was growing up.
I never felt inspired to kill anyone, you know?
And I just want to, again, can we abnormalize that for once?
I know the trend is always, can we normalize?
Can we abnormalize killing your mom?
Can we do that? Let's just make that a little abnormal and a little less understandable.
Regarding the DEI initiatives and, you know, this push to include everybody everywhere, now to the detriment of society potentially, Mimi writes,"...as a person with disability, I definitely don't want to be selected for a position based on my appearance, and neither do I want anything to be handed to me based on pity.
I want to be selected based on my qualifications.
However, the reality is there are many organizations and companies that are not going to select me based on my physical disability." I'm working on accepting as a reality despite how unjust.
Listen, I can't tell you how true or untrue that is.
I think that there are tons of positions that people that have disabilities and don't know what yours are that they can fill.
You know what I mean? There is no reason why you can't work a desk job if you are in a wheelchair.
That's just one example. I'm currently right now in a boot because of a surgery that I had in December, and it hasn't made me any less able or less capable in doing a podcast.
But I am sure that you have a different experience, and I'm glad that you were able to share it.
Next person writes, Yep, that is very true.
I think half of the stuff that Mark Cuban says is just because he wants to be assumed, wants the public to just go, oh, he's a great guy, and be celebrated in the media.
And that's always a very easy way to do it, is to just become a simp and to say, oh, we just need to be accepting of everything and everybody, and we need to be understanding that if people are not great, who cares?
We should give them an opportunity anyways.
That's just not a way to run a business.
And he's allowed to bleed out cash by hiring people that are less good at the job, rather.
He's allowed to be without cash because he's a billionaire, right?
So he can afford to go, okay, I lost some money in this category because I didn't hire the best individual.
But so what? I feel good and it looks good on my Wikipedia page.
People that are running a mom and pop shop, people that are running small businesses don't have that same opportunity.
They should be hiring people that are best.
Maybe when we become billionaires, we'll all become simps for DEI. Not me.
I won't be doing that if I become a billionaire, which I will.
Lastly, Kylie writes, I listen to your podcast every day and I agree with most things.
However, I am 17 and getting my pilot license next month.
I've been flying since I was 14 and my goal is the airlines.
I do not think that because I'm a woman I cannot fly as well as a man.
I think that your ability to competently fly comes from how dedicated and focused you are.
The amount of hours and education you have Kylie, I am so happy that you are getting your pilot license, and I don't want you to think that when I talk about the natural proclivity that we have towards certain fields, that it is speaking down on women.
If you want to be a pilot, you should be a pilot.
What I am saying is that We are naturally good at certain things as women, and men are naturally good at certain things as men.
I think when it comes to decision making, men are stronger than women.
And I think that if something were to go wrong in a cockpit, a man might operate better under those stressful conditions than a woman might operate under those stressful conditions.
So I am saying that if I had the opportunity to choose whether or not a man was operating a plane or a woman, I would choose a man every time.
In the same way, if I walked into a daycare and it was all men, I would choose a different daycare.
If I had the opportunity to choose a daycare filled with women, I would choose a different daycare because I have seen over and over again how in situations that are emergencies regarding children, women have a better natural instinct.
I've just lived a little longer and I'm not willing to deny that there is a biological reality that underscores sociology.
I would be willing to bet that as a pilot, you are not seeing a lot of women in that field, right?
When you went through school, you probably realized that it was dominated by men.
Ask yourself why.
It's certainly not because women are saying you can't be a pilot.
You can be whatever you want today.
Despite the fact that women can be whatever it is that we want, we tend to dominate in certain fields, whereas men tend to dominate in certain other fields.
That is because we are drawn towards those fields naturally.
You might be an exception.
What I am talking about on this podcast is the rule.
But again, exceptional. 17 years old, got your pilot license, you're crushing it.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, that is unfortunately all the time that we have for today.
