Don't Make Me Defend Don Lemon | Ep. 98

Happy Tuesday, everybody. I hope everybody enjoyed the long weekend. President's Day. I hope you got to celebrate by having a day off. I certainly hear president had a day off. I think he's over in Ukraine making sure Zelensky is good with your billions while ignoring the people of Palestine, Ohio. But I did not have a good weekend. I want you guys to know that. I spent my weekend in a puddle crying. I was crying all weekend because Sam Smith's backup dancer, one of the people that worked with him in satanic costumes. Well, he did a tick tock dedicated to me, and it hurts. And I'm sad. We're going to talk about that. Plus, later on in the show, you're not going to believe it. I'm going to actually have to defend Don Lemon. So I'm going to need you guys to stick around because there's a first time for everything. All that and more today coming up on Candace Allen. Do I look like I've been crying all weekend? Because I have been. I had my faith tested. If you're a Christian, you're about to have your faith shaken, tested. One of Sam Smith's backup dancers got wind of the fact that I was not happy with their little Grammys performance, dressed up like Satan, wearing horns, twerking, being disgusting. And he decided that he was going to mount a response to me and Christians and to conservatism and make us understand why they have to give themselves to demons. And it was a really good response. Like I said, it was it left me in a puddle. I felt like Meghan Markle. I was in a puddle crying, crying and crying. My husband, how could this be happening to me? I can't believe it. People are going to see this. And so we have to talk about that. And I want you guys to hear because he's going to he's going to come at you fast with a lot of logic. So I'm going to play for you guys what he said on TikTok. Of course, it's on TikTok. It's the app for crazy people. And you're going to find out after listening to it that actually, no, it makes no sense at all. Take a listen. What happens when you get to Hollywood that they basically say, OK, now you just have to do a demonic ritual to prove. All right, Candace, this is coming from one of the dancers who is in this satanic ritual. Must I remind you that for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, queer people have been associated with everything satanic and demonic and that for hundreds of years you have been telling us that we're going to go to hell? I was a child when I realized that millions of people on this planet want me unalive because of my queerness. And now we finally have a space in Hollywood and you get mad when we associate ourselves with these symbols, but in a positive, fabulous way. How many times are you going to take the bait? Seriously? The fact that you associate all these symbols with evil and queerness just highlights your homophobia. And I really hope you read a book one day. Ooh, ow, the burn. So much logic coming at us fast. You know, when people come at you really fast, intelligent, sometimes you do have to slow it down. But also when they come at you really fast with this amount of stupidity, you do have to slow it down because there's a lot of dumb happening. And so we're going to slow it down. We're going to answer Sam Smith's satanic backup dancer slowly. So let's just start from the beginning. The first couple of sentences. What happens when you get to Hollywood that they basically say, OK, now you just have to do a demonic ritual to prove. All right, Candice, this is coming from one of the dancers who is in this satanic ritual. Must I remind you that for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years, queer people have been associated with everything satanic and demonic and that for hundreds of years you have been telling us that we're going to go to hell? OK, let's just stop there, because I just find that to be a little matter of housekeeping. Hundreds and hundreds of years. It just makes me giggle. It makes me chuckle because it's just so American. You know, I talk about Americans, their entire reference point is that nothing ever happened before America. Right. Hundreds and hundreds of years. Actually, the Bible is a little older than a hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Like I was a little older than that. So I just want him to sound smarter by actually acknowledging the fact that people that hold this viewpoint regarding homosexuality may be getting these views from the Bible, which maybe predates America just by a little bit. But keep it going, guys. I was a child when I realized that millions of people on this planet want me unalive because of my queerness. And now we finally have a space in Hollywood. And you get mad when we associate ourselves with these symbols, but in a positive, fabulous way. First of all, I want to make it clear, I don't want any queer people unalive. I don't even like the word unalive. I don't even know. I didn't even know we were doing that. I didn't know we were saying unalive. But I want to be very clear that I do not want you unalive. But I am interested in the fact that you're just owning it. You're like, yeah, no, we are associating ourselves with demons and Satan and all things dark to own us, I guess. Is this your take here? But but you make a very important point here in a positive, fabulous way. I didn't know you could do that. I didn't know that you could be satanic in a positive, fabulous way. I didn't know that there could be a spin on that. You know, I didn't know what people are like. I am I want to go to hell, but in a positive, fabulous way. But go on. At least you're owning it. Keep it going. How many times are you going to take the bait? Seriously? The fact that you associate all these symbols with evil and queerness just highlights your homophobia. And I really hope you read a book one day. Well, you just told us that you're associating yourselves with these symbols. Then you say that if we notice that you're associating yourself with these symbols, that makes us homophobic. That's completely ridiculous. And by the way, to be clear here, just like I don't want you on a live, I am definitively not homophobic. In fact, I don't even like the word. Why would I have a fear of you? You're on TikTok making a video that makes entirely no sense. Why would I be scared of you? Do you think I go home? Oh, my God, this guy saw this video. He's just so scary. He's acknowledged hundreds and hundreds of years. Why would I be afraid of you? Honestly, to me, when I see these TikToks and I see people like you, it's like I feel bad for you. I don't know who your parents are. I feel sad that you thought that this was going to be some great comeback by making an argument that you are embracing Satanism and that you are embracing demons in a positive, fabulous way. And then you're upset with us for noticing it. It makes entirely no sense. I have to imagine that somewhere Sam Smith saw this video. He just went, oh, gosh, yeah, this might be a complete self-owned. I don't know about the queer people, since you've identified yourself coming out and fully embracing the fact that they are demons. That's exactly what you're doing. I'm not homophobic, far from homophobic for noticing it. OK, and so this potentially was the greatest stuff I've ever seen on the Internet. Major win for conservatives. And that's all I have to say about that. For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you know that I'm up at 430 a.m. to work out because I like to get a head start on my day and I enjoy that time for myself in the morning before the kids get up.

Okay, now it's time for some Topics Du Jour. You know, it's not just Sam Smith's backup dancers. Everybody's being a big baby. And I don't know, something's in the air right now. I feel like over the last couple of weeks, everyone's just crying about everything. And I'm so offended. And it's not just on the left anymore. It's on the right. I'm like, what's actually going on? First and foremost, let's talk about Don Lemon. I can't believe I'm going to have to do this. People are going to force me to actually defend Don Lemon for saying something that simply made sense. People are outraged. Don Lemon might lose his job. In fact, they're going to now make him take diversity and inclusion courses. He's facing all of this pressure because he's clearly sexist, right? Don Lemon is clearly sexist because he made a remark about Nikki Haley not being in her prime. Let's take a listen so we can hear what he had to say in full context. This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that, I think it's the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime. Sorry. When a woman is considered to be in her prime in her twenties and thirties and maybe forties. That's not according to me. Prime for what? It depends. I mean, it's just like prime. If you look it up, it'll say, if you look, if you Google, when is a woman in her prime, it'll say twenties, thirties and forties. I don't necessarily. Oh, I got it. I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that, well, you know, politicians aren't in their prime. You need to qualify. Are you talking about prime for like child-rearing? Don't shoot the message around. Just say what the facts are. Google it. Everybody at home. When is a woman in her prime? It says twenties, thirties and forties. And I'm just saying Nikki Haley should be careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime and they need to be in their prime when they serve because she wouldn't be in her prime according to Google or whatever it is. I'm sorry. What was wrong with what Don Lemon just said? Is it the part that it happens to be true? It's not allowed at CNN. Why is everybody acting so offended by the fact that he basically said water is wet? Why do people keep being perpetually offended when we acknowledge that as you age, you are no longer in your prime? The girls sitting beside him and I'm calling them girls because they're acting like little teenage girls. Oh, my God. Prime, what do you what are you saying? You're hurting my feelings. Women are in the workplace so that we can cry and be upset and not be able to understand a basic biological fact like only women can give birth. CNN people. How could you say that? Oh, my God. How could you say that? Also, women are not in their biological prime when they are 51 years old. I think he really is. By the way, I'm 33. I want you guys to know something. It's a secret. Don't tell anybody. I'm not in my biological prime. We just women. We don't peek at 33. We don't peek at 43. We don't peek at 53. Just like men. We peek when we are younger. What are you talking about? I need you to qualify. You know exactly what he's talking about. What do what do you think that you peek at when you're 51? OK, let me just offer the question back. Right. What do you how could you possibly think that as you get older, you're you're somehow what getting stronger, faster, smarter? None of those things, obviously. And I don't find that to be problematic. I don't think it's problematic. Nikki Haley is running at 51. But I think what he's saying is that's a little hypocritical for her to comment on people not being in her in their prime when she's also not in her prime. So here you go. I got this from Google. Our ability to think recall information, which is known as our fluid intelligence, peaks at 20. There you go, ladies. It peaks at 20. Your ability to retain information speaks my that has all that ship has already sailed. Does that mean that there aren't things that happen as you get older, better, better, better? Yeah, I would probably say I don't want a 20 year old running for president because you are more experienced as you age. Obviously, you are wiser as you age. You're probably not as reactive and impulsive as you age. And those are great attributes. And they should have been able to have that discussion. Right. What are the things that are better as you get older? Are they could have offered back to him? OK, yeah, she's not in her physical and biological prime, but at least she's 30 to 40 years younger than all the other candidates. And he could have said yes. But instead, everybody cried. Everybody clutched their pearls and said, no, we want a world where we pretend that as we get older, we are advancing toward our prime. So what is it? Everybody's crying. And here's the best part about the conservatives are taking the bait on this. What if Trump had said that if Trump had been out there and he said, well, Hillary Clinton's not in her prime, that's not that's not a good Trump. Well, you know, Hillary Clinton, she's not in her prime. That's all I could say. She's not. But that's all I'm going to say. We would have been like, ah, so true, Mr. President, because it's so true. And that's what we liked about Trump, the ability to just tell us the truth. Now, all of a sudden, Don Lemon says it and we're pretending that we need to be hysterical and crying about it. Give me a break. This is going into the category of me wondering whether or not conservatives are accidentally becoming what they hate. Right. Are we becoming the snowflakes? Right. When we cried about Rihanna's performance, when we're crying about Don Lemon's comments, are we kind of becoming what we hate? I'm not. I'm not. And so I laugh at Don Lemon's comments because they're true. And I also acknowledge that these girls would have offered something back to him. It would have been to say, OK, yes, but after 80, we know biologically that people suffer a steep decline after 80. It just happens. Right. So you might not be peaking at 51, but you aren't on a steep decline. And that is what happens when you are after 80. That's all you had to say, ladies. You didn't have to cry about it. But today is all about crying. Right. Today. I don't know. Everybody just woke up on the side of the bed that said, well, which I think is the title of Prince Harry's book, According to South Park. And George Santos got wind of Don Lemon's comment. Yep. The George Santos. George Santos has lied about everything regarding his career. And he was initially slated to go on Don Lemon's show to talk about some of those lies. But George Santos said, I'm not I'm not going to go on Don Lemon's show. You're not gonna believe this. His rep notified CNN on Friday that they were going to cancel his appearance, blaming Lemon's comments on the day before the comments that you just heard. Specifically, his rep told DailyMail.com, we heard the comments and it was in very poor taste. And we did not wish to do a sit down with someone who could speak ill of women in that regard. OK, George Santos is having a reaction to the truth, which seems to be his entire career. I thought this was laugh out loud, hilarious. This is George Santos. He was completely lied his way into Congress. I can't be mad at him. I don't know. There's something about George Santos. I can't be angry at him because he just lies so much. And the absurdity, the hypocrisy, the astounding hypocrisy of George Santos saying that Don Lemon telling the truth was a bridge too far for him. It makes me chuckle. He was a drag queen down in Brazil, dressed up over years as a woman, lied about his financial background, lied about his educational background. I don't think George Santos even knows what the truth is. But this right here, Don Lemon, a bridge too far. And by the way, going back to the Don Lemon thing, if you wanted to call him a hypocrite, right, which is what George Santos is being, obviously, for refusing to sit down for him, I would agree with you there. Because Don Lemon, normally, when he's on his show, he is all women's rights. He says absurd things. White people are the most dangerous threat to society while he dates a white man, right? But him telling the truth should not have been something that made people angry. Is he a hypocrite because he always dies for the progressives? And he's ride or die for the progressive thoughts. He's all about feminism and all of this stuff. Yes, he's an astounding hypocrite, but he is not a liar. George Santos is, though. And so how this seemed to bridge too far for George Santos is beyond me. But everybody is crazy today. People were also offended as we continue our tour of crying in the news because Tiger Woods did something. Let's talk about what Tiger Woods did. So he was out on the golf course with his friend, Justin Thomas. And Woods handed his friend and rival a tampon during the first round of the Genesis Invitational shortly after out driving him on the tee. Unfortunately for Tiger Woods, the cameras caught this moment. So, aha, I beat you. You're a rival. Here's a tampon. Hold this. Bros just being bros, being funny. And they're laughing. They're enjoying themselves. And the media said, oh, my gosh. Feminism. Feminism. I can't believe he did that. I can't believe guys are having a little private joke. Let's attack him. How dare he? How dare he? Yes, we are the same feminists, by the way. Of course, we're the same feminists that also say that men can menstruate. We're the exact same people. We're the same feminists that stay quiet as men overtake women's sports. But that doesn't matter because it's an idea, right? It's an idea. But this, let's go after Tiger because how many women were hurt when they saw two men passing a tampon to each other? Exactly zero. Exactly zero. But there were hurt feelings. And so, Tiger Woods actually had to come out and give a statement apologizing for this moment, which was captured. Basically, he had to give a statement saying, I'm sorry that I have fun sometimes. I'm sorry that me and the lads kind of go out and play golf and we have inside jokes and we enjoy each other's company. And I was just kind of saying to him, ha ha, you're a little bitch, because that's what guys do when they're with each other. They call each other little bitches. And in doing this little thing, we inspired a bunch of other people to unironically act like little bitches. That's what's happening. Fortunately, one woman did not. Paige Spieranek, who is a former college golfer, came to his defense and said, it's interesting. She tweeted this. It's interesting to see women outraged by Tiger slipping JT a tampon after outdriving him, but those same women will quickly tear me down for how I've decided to build my business. You can't pick and choose when to be a feminist. Paige Spieranek gets a lot of flack because she's now a model and an influencer. She then tweeted, if anyone tries to cancel Tiger over this, we riot. It's funny. Imagine that. Imagine women having a sense of humor. Yeah, no, let's not imagine that. That would be too crazy. As a mother, I'm cautious about what I use on my skin. Many skincare products contain harmful ingredients, especially for nursing and expecting moms. I'm specifically talking about retinol. Retinol can be great for your skin, but for pregnant or breastfeeding moms, it can pose a significant risk to the health of your baby. That's why I'm excited to be partnering with GenuCell, whose ultra-retinol treatment delivers amazing results without the harmful chemicals. The primary ingredient is a plant-derived natural retinol alternative that is pregnancy safe, breastfeeding safe, and doesn't cause any unwanted irritation.

Moving on in WHAAAT territory, our WHAAAT tour, to the Project Veritas board. In case you missed this, probably the biggest news over the weekend, James O'Keefe is officially out at Project Veritas. We reported on this last week. It seemed that it was indeed a coup, that there were a bunch board members that were trying to force him out. The story goes, he had some spat with the CFO. He fired the CFO. The board said, you do not have the power to do that. There needs to be, I guess, the board needs to be involved before he fires someone. I guess there were words that were shared in public in front of employees, and then employees started sharing their horror stories of James O'Keefe. One person said that he took a sandwich from a pregnant woman. And that's horrific. I mean, could you imagine if you're pregnant and someone takes a sandwich from you? Everything seemed remarkably petty. Obviously, everything that was leaking from Project Veritas gave me just the vibes of the society that we live in today. Our people just don't know what hard work is. God forbid someone raises their voice at the office. They're all a little flower. God forbid Don Lemon tells you that women do not peak at 51. Oh my God, how do we survive? We live in a pool of emotion. We work in a pool of emotion. And this did indeed seem like a pool of emotion. So James O'Keefe actually came out. He tweeted this. He said, it's already out there. Here are my heartfelt remarks to my staff this morning. I need to make clear I have not resigned from the company Project Veritas that I founded 13 years ago. I was stripped of my position as CEO and chairman. I came to the Project Veritas office today to remove my personal belongings. If you're wondering what's next, stay tuned. And I'm just going to play with you. It was a very long video of him speaking to his staff before he left, but I'm going to play for you just one clip of it. Take a listen. So currently I have no job at Project Veritas. I have no position here based upon what the board has done. So I'm announcing to you all that today on President's Day, I'm packing up my personal belongings. I don't have the answers to why they've been doing this or why board members were going directly to employees to collect grievances, but I'm confident that those reasons and motivations will come to light. To borrow an old expression, the public has a right to know what has happened here and why there was a concerted effort to remove me from the organization I founded the same week of our biggest story we ever had. So I, just to put all biases on the table, I've made it very clear to you guys in the past, I am a donor to Project Veritas. I, it is one of the two organizations that I support in a big capacity. I'm not, I'm not a small donor. I'm a big donor to Project Veritas and I have been looking on in absolute horror that they would do this. It's been very clear to me, as I said, because they are leaking out what seems to be petty grievances. This, this was a circumstance in which the board said, here is the man and now I will find you the crime, right? And so they began going around as James O'Keefe suggests and asking people, well, what's, what's making you upset? And he said, oh, I was pregnant. I was eight months pregnant. And, uh, he took my sandwich off my desk. Oh, I got to the pile. We'll just say, this is a good reason to fire him. Well, now the Project Veritas board of directors in their own defense has released a statement, right? So this is them saying, now we're going to tell you why we're firing, firing him. And of course we should be all go read their statement and think, oh my goodness, we didn't know it was that bad. I was expecting, I don't know. He's, I don't know, threw water in the face of an employee. I don't, I don't know what I was expecting. I just said something heavy, right? When they come out swinging in this capacity, I'm going to read you a few points from the board's statement. They said there were two subjects that the board wished to come to terms with James on the company's long-term sustainability based on staff retention and morale and the company's financial health, which has been a serious concern for several months. Now, although Project Veritas leadership has not concluded looking into the full scale of financial issues over the years, a preliminary review at this time indicates that James has spent an excessive amount of donor funds in the last three years on personal luxuries. More is still being uncovered during the ongoing review at this time. Then they go on to give us an example of these personal luxuries. Here are a few examples of what has been uncovered so far by the Project Veritas leadership. This is far from an exhaustive list. It is merely a small representative sample. Ready, guys? Ready for the list? $14,000 on a charter flight to meet someone to fix his boat under the guise of meeting with a donor. Now, we don't know if that's true, but the reason why they put this here, just so you guys are clear, is because you're supposed to be outraged that he's even chartering flights, which is not at all weird whatsoever when you run a company and you run a company that is in excess of $22 million a year. And it's a small company, but they say, you know what, if you want to get people upset, right, talk about charter flights and cars. And then people go, oh my god, how can you possibly do this? Of course, we don't know his side of it. We don't know if he actually did meet with the donor. But $14,000 on a charter flight tells you that it's probably going to be a pretty small plane, okay? Next up, $60,000 in losses by putting together dance events such as Project Veritas Experience. Okay, the Project Veritas Experience was a donor event. Donors were invited. I was invited to this event. I actually got invited. He wanted me to come. He's like, it's going to be a great event. This is what you call the opposite, far from what they charge when they say that they were worried about morale. This is what you call boosting morale. You throw an event because they are constantly under pressure. These people have to be paranoid. The FBI is trying to look into Project Veritas. The FBI, the Department of Justice hates Project Veritas. So you want me to be offended that he spent out of, as I said, tens of millions of dollars, $60,000 by throwing a dance event in which all employees were invited to and other people that are in the conservative movement? Is that supposed to make us go, how dare he? Some companies call this a Christmas party. They do this once a year. They spend this kind of money so that everybody can enjoy themselves and take a break and reflect on the fact that they're on a team, that they should be enjoying themselves. I mean, I don't know why we're supposed to be offended by this, but they decided to include it in the list, which you know it's extremely petty. Then it gets even pettier, ready? This is where the big numbers come in. Over $150,000 in black cars in the last 18 months. So is the CEO of a company that's worth tens of millions of dollars, you think that, is he supposed to, you want him to take an Uber X? Is that what you're trying to show people? Again, this is meant to make people on the outside be outraged because how dare he? Now, if this was my company, I would probably say to him, why don't you just hire a full-time driver for the same amount? You could hire a team of two people that will wait 24 hours per day and we could probably save ourselves a good $6,000 a year. This doesn't belong in a public statement as if it's outrageous that a CEO is taking black cars to and from work. He deserves that. Again, the FBI knocked down his door and we saw him down to his skippies as they held guns to his head. You want me to be upset that he's taking black cars to work every day over 18 months for a grand total of $150,000? No, could be smarter. I say give him a full-time, you should have upgraded him to a full-time driver. They say hundreds of other acts of personal inurement. The list is petty. It's a petty list. This is not a reason to fire somebody as the face of a movement given all the work and all the sacrifice that James has made. Again, the only thing here that seems offensive to me is if he took that small plane to meet somebody to fix his boat under the guise of being a donor, but we don't know his side of it. And if they're looking at amounts at a $22 million company for black cars, then you can probably assume that this was a case in which they wanted him out by any means necessary. And now they are trying to legitimatize their reasons for having him out. So I stand with James O'Keefe, wherever he goes, my money will follow. We are no longer donors to Project Veritas because James O'Keefe is no longer there. So I don't care what he calls it next. I don't care if he calls it Projects O'Keefe. If he does, give me credit. James, if you're watching and you start, you call it Project O'Keefe, give me credit for that. But we are definitely going to stand behind you and we are disgusted with the actions of the board. I'm hoping, by the way, that some employees will follow him out the door because this company is not operating with a very high moral caliber. Ladies and gentlemen, that is all we have for topics. Let's get into some of your comments. So I told you guys why I will personally not be voting for Nikki Haley. You guys had some stuff to say about that. Biden Putin Pants, that's a great name, wrote, she isn't running for POTUS, she's running for Trump. She won't take a single vote from him. All her candidacy does is make the road easier for Trump. I also think it lines her pockets and I think that she likes her pockets lined and she knows she's not going to win, but it allows her to demand more when she speaks and that is how she is currently earning a living. And by the way, I told you guys she was already earning $200,000 per speech, but this keeps her name, it makes her relevant. Maybe people are not booking her as much anymore and they will continue to book her at that outrageous fee. Next comment is from Florida 352. They write, regarding Nikki Haley, National File has an article stating that in 2011, Nikki Haley was selected as one of Klaus Schwab's carefully procured young global leaders, a subset of the World Economic Forum with a focus on influencing geopolitics and global commerce through young politicians. Even if I hadn't read this article, I would not vote for Haley for president nor the vice president. We need tough candidates that have proven love for our country. Our candidate must be able to deflect the far left ideology. Article names other GOP politicals as well. Yeah, I've heard of this theory that people that are young global leaders from World Economic Forum, I think also Dan Crenshaw is, that they're somehow bought and paid for. I don't know, I've never looked into it, so I can't say one way or the other. But I can say that I do not trust the World Economic Forum. Now, could somebody perhaps be invited there to speak and think, okay, it's a good thing to do because, I don't know, it exposes my brand worldwide? Yes. Could it be that she did that methodically? Yes. So I'm not going to jump right into that conspiracy theory. But personally me, if I was invited, I would say, I had no thank you. Next comments are regarding, you remember that young girl who cried because her grandma didn't want to call her Stephen or Michael or whatever. Her grandma sent her that lovely little note and said, we still love you, but we are not going to embrace your crazy. But we love you. Hope we see you at Christmas. Well, Alan Hagreen writes, my grandma who loved Jesus and said she never truly believed I was gay but was because of my upbringing. I spent lots of years wanting to be a woman, never felt I was accepted as a man nor felt I could relate to men. Obviously these were lies. I'm glad that I never went through with the transition. I too realized that being a woman has its own issues and hearing how so many who have de-transitioned from the lies, they would be freer being the opposite sex. It breaks my heart hearing these stories. One thing is you can never change what God created you to be in him. In the end, when you feel so empty and the pain and the hurt fills your heart, you don't turn to people who lied to you, but the ones who loved you, even when you didn't want to listen. It's the stories of those who have been transformed by Jesus that make it easier to reject those in society who truly don't love you like Jesus does. It takes the love of God to break the strongholds over one's mind. Gender dysphoria, same-sex attraction, and transgenderism is not a burden God created one to bear. Praying that my life will help others know that they can be free too. That's such a wonderful comment. I really love saying that, that when you feel so empty and you have pain, that you shouldn't turn to those who lie to you. I think that's what really happens, is people experience some internal pain and then they're able to very quickly find people that will lie to them and really reinforce the pain. They don't realize that, that in the end, that pain is just being reinforced and in the circumstance of transgenderism, it is being reinforced under the worst possible terms. Next comment, Kathleen Thomas writes, I have a granddaughter, 16 year old, going through the same thing. We will not address her as Storm. We love her as always. It will not be forced to participate in her delusions. We pray for her daily. That is the right solution. Pray for them. Embrace them. Do not give in to their delusions. Obviously, if you give in to someone's delusions, it only makes them more delusional. And I can't imagine how people could have an issue with it, but apparently they do. They will dress it up as a phobia. You are scared of transphobia, homophobia, and of course, that couldn't be further from the truth. The last set of comments are regarding Leonardo DiCaprio, him dating younger women, my perspective that it is disgusting and he's got an issue and I think something happened to him when he was a kid in Hollywood, but I have absolutely no evidence to support that claim. Just an intuition. Nope, writes, I'm only 27 and even I struggle to have a straight conversation with someone under 20. I'm already feeling slightly creeped out the thought of dating someone that much younger than me. So how is that a near 50 year old is okay with having sex with multiple 18 to 25 year olds? Something is definitely wrong there. That's why I always encourage you when they try to justify these relationships, it's like, oh, well, she's legal. If you are 27, that works. I mean, really, honestly, in your mid twenties and older, go have a conversation with an 18 year old. It's incredible. It's like, oh, wow. Was I ever you? They are so young in a beautiful way. They're so hopeful about the world. They're young, but they're so inexperienced. They feel like children. I know that they're legally 18, but they feel like children. It feels like you need to protect them. Right. And so when somebody is 50, you know, he's almost 20 years, my senior, and he sees him, he's attracted to them and he wants to have sex with them. It's a major turnoff for me. No pun intended. Last comment, same topic from pop culture prepper. He writes just because you can date a rich celebrity who's over twice your age, simply because he is rich and famous doesn't mean you should. Adults make their own choices, just as you said. I actually am not faulting the girls here because their brains are not developed. They're children. That's the whole point. Right. So I actually believe that they generally think there's nothing wrong, especially because for them, it's advantageous. They're going, OK, it's going to advance my career. And he's a good looking older guy. And I'm going to have paparazzi following me. They have a very basic mentality when it comes to that stuff. It's like clicks and likes and Instagram. But when they get older and think about it, I think that they're going to regret it. I think that when Sophia Richie, as we used the example last week of Scott Disick, I think that when Sophia Richie turns 30, she's going to look back and think about her relationship with Scott Disick and think, what an absolute creep. I cannot believe he took advantage of me when I was barely legal in that capacity. And I don't know if I'm going to be right, but let's assume that I will be right. All right, guys, the next portion of the show is going to be available exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. I'm going to be answering your questions and taking a case in my courtroom as Judge Candice.
