All right, guys. Looks like we're live again! Like I said, a very informal live stream tonight because I'm in London. I've been unbelievably sick. Like, I still haven't gotten over the sickness where I had no voice. Now all my kids are sick, but I've just been

inundated this week, obviously, for a lot of reasons. First and foremost, our USS Liberty episode dropped, which was super exciting for a lot of reasons. We worked on that for weeks, as you can see. We put together this, like, editorial package, and um, I'm going to talk about that and let

you know what went on behind the scenes. But for it to become a global trend and to start a much-needed conversation makes me so proud. Also, at the exact same time, obviously, Brett Cooper has announced her exit from The Daily Wire after a lot of innuendo. We're going to

discuss that. And uh, also I had a conversation with Lily Phillips, who is that British girl who is trying to beat the world record—Guinness Book of World Records—for sleeping with the most men in one day, and she is going for 1,000 men.

So we'll jump right into it, obviously, because like I said, this is informal, so there's not going to be any transitions. I have nothing to show you here. Let's start with the Brett Cooper exit. Obviously, you guys have been inundating me… Oh my gosh, Keno's, what's going on? What's your

take? Uh, listen, just from the very beginning, obviously everyone kind of knows the backstory. Last couple of weeks, there's just been some rumors floating around. Some people thought the rumors were ridiculous, that she was leaving; um, other people were saying that there was a lot of friction that was happening in

The background at the Daily Wire... uh, what we know for a fact is that Bret Cooper did, in fact, announce her exit from the Daily Wire on Tuesday. While I was on a plane to London, I had no Wi-Fi, so I landed and it was just an

explosion of text messages. And, you know, I think because the exit came after there were so many rumors floating around, people then assumed that all the rumors were true. There were rumors that her best friend—or former... not former—her maid of honor in her wedding (which is

true, obviously), Reagan Rad, would be taking over her show. And people were trying to deduce whether or not that meant that there was a lot of drama in the background. The Spectator did a summary—they're obviously quite respected—and they went through and

clawed through all of the internet innuendo and noticed some things. Obviously, one big thing that has been noticed on the internet is that Bret seems to have deleted all of the photos that she had of her and her maid of honor from her profile, so that's

an obvious signal to people that maybe some of that innuendo was true. And then the other aspect, which I was not even aware of until I read this article on The Spectator, was that apparently there was some movement—this is such a bizarre

thing—but I guess they were commenting on all of Bret's posts or something and telling her to wear blue on her last day if she's not allowed to talk about what happened. And then she wore blue. So who knows if she wore blue because it's

Like it's a normal color to wear, and I wear blue probably twice a week. Or if she was trying to signal something. Anyways, the long conclusion of this is, as far as separations go, it appears to be as amicable as it can be. She made the

announcement; it was quite sad. She did seem like she was, um, upset in it, and then it kind of cut to Jeremy Boreing, CEO. He said nice things about her, and unless she wants to contribute something else or he wants to contribute something else, I don't think there's any reason to

look further into it because everybody is moving on in their lives. And that gets into the next point: everyone's like, "What will happen to Bret Cooper?" Bret Cooper is going to be absolutely fine—I mean, beyond fine. Uh, frankly, by the time I hit the ground, I must have had, and I

am not kidding, 25 messages from people from all walks of my life asking me, "Can I have a contact with Bret Cooper?" I'm talking about people that want to do her book, people that want to sign her for a show, people that want to sign her for

speeches. And I think she should have been doing all of that stuff in the last couple of years, like striking while the iron is hot, um, and she hasn't really been doing much. She obviously—it's a five-day-a-week show, Daily Wire—so I'm

sure that's because she was really consumed and dedicated to that. And there hasn't really been an answer on the Snow White project, but it looks like maybe that's not happening, so she now has a considerable amount of time to do what I

I think young people getting into this space should do what I did. I was with Turning Point USA; I had a very loose contract, so I did everything—from speeches to Fox News hits to writing my book—while I had the energy, before I was

married and had kids. I was trying to strike while the iron was hot, and I learned so much in those years. Brett is so young—she's 22—and she's now going to be able to do everything. As I said, it was

trending here in London that she left The Daily Wire. For someone that young to have gained 4.5 million YouTube subscribers in a couple of years, and to become a global trend when she leaves her job—kudos to you, Brett Cooper! That's

absolutely amazing.  Working with her, she's fantastic, brilliant. I think Matt Walsh issued a statement about how much he adored working with her, always having a great experience.

Obviously, Michael, we were all in the office every day, and no one is concerned that Brett Cooper won't be okay. She's going to have to decide what she wants to do. The hardest part for her will be how

to focus.  Being a creative director is working out for me; we can do this for her. We can do this, blah blah blah… we'll run her ads; advertisers are reaching out to me. So if Brett Cooper is suffering, it's probably right now from too many options. I haven't even had time

because I've been sick with my kids, I'll send her all the messages that I've been getting. And so I also wanted to include for you guys—it's in the link here if you look in the comment section; we're going to pin it—her new YouTube

channel. Obviously, she's going to have to rebuild her YouTube channel; the assets belong to the Daily Wire. Similarly, when I left—that's not really exactly scandalous—that is what they're investing in, which is essentially, you know, we're putting money behind you,

we're going to grow your channel, and you know, we're going to keep your channel when you leave. So she's starting from scratch; not a big deal at all. I was starting from scratch. Got my channel up; I think we're at like 3.3 million

subscribers, and we did it in under five months. So anyway, support independent creators! Again, use the link that is below. But the broader conversation that's going to be really interesting, and I think this is, again, it's broader, so it's not even specifically about the Daily Wire, but people

are kind of debating, you know, if this is what the Daily Wire is doing, and it looks like it perhaps is. And if I'm speaking wrongly here, we're going to find out shortly, obviously. But if we are having this former, or this made-up, "honor," take

over her show, is that going to work? And that is really interesting because, you know, podcasting is a unique space; it is very personal. It's a new medium. When podcasting exploded, I mean, largely we can attribute that to Joe Rogan. Obviously, the Daily Wire was one of the

The first companies to try and carve out the podcasting space, saying 'we're going to house a bunch of podcasters,' I would say Daily Wire and The Blaze kind of hit the ground running. I think nobody

has really stopped to consider: can you just do that like late-night TV? Can you do that like *The View*, where you just keep swapping hosts and go, 'Okay, well, now it's going to be the comment section with someone else.' Is the audience going to like that, or is the audience going to

reject that? Now, if I'm just guessing, if this is my company and I'm running it, I'm going, 'No, I think podcasting is too personal. I think people sign up for a YouTube channel because they're signing up for that person.' It remains to

be seen, obviously, they haven't done this yet; this will be an experiment for them. But I do think it starts a conversation about what it says about both Brett and the Daily Wire if they do do it. Like, I think if I'm instructing what I would do, I would

just create an entirely new show if you're going to bring in new talent. Otherwise, it kind of feels like, 'Okay, well, is this just all scripted? Is that the real Brett Cooper? Did she just train to do this show, and that's not actually her personality?' I'm asking these

questions, I know the answer to this, obviously. It is her personality. That is very much Brett's personality. Behind the scenes is how she talks; she's very bubbly and very excited. So I don't know if that's like the message that you want

to send that we can just, like, train someone else, like a monkey, to do the exact same thing rather than just create a whole new show around somebody else. Again, these are lingering questions: Do we treat it like a late-night TV host that we're swapping, or do we consider

this like, you know, a recording artist? Like you can't just be like, "Hey, Taylor Swift, we wrote all your songs; now we're just going to swap you." What could a Taylor Swift look-alike do, and like, see if she can just do the exact same thing? I think I

think it's personality-driven, but again, these are the questions that a lot of people are asking. And I will say this: We've had, um, finally a turn of events where people stopped attacking me—the media, I'm speaking about—obviously, for months, and they've been genuinely

curious about the success of our new show. And there was a particular article that Slate wrote that I found to be quite interesting. It was like—I think Slate did an article on us, the LA Times did an article on us, the Washington Post an article on us—trying to figure out

like what the secret ingredient is. And Slate had suggested that in the Joe Rogan podcast past economy, as they were describing it, authenticity is what sells. And I very much agree with that. I think you have to be yourself; like, even if I was subbing in for a Brett Cooper or a

Matt Walsh, it would be very strange if I was on Matt Walsh's show and I was just talking like this and doing the Matt Walsh voice. I would just be Candace, because this is like my personality, and it would work because people are like, "That's Candace," and that's who I have

Come to trust, but again, all of that is up for debate. We'll see what happens. Like I said, as amicable a split as possible, even though internet sleuths have noticed some things. I think it was handled professionally. I think both of them said nice things about each other.

And everyone, like I said, just look out for Bret Cooper because this is going to be... I think she's going to explode in 2025 because she is a tremendous, multifaceted talent. The last thing I do want to say is this was the one thing that

I do know the answer to, and it was kind of driving me crazy: Bret Cooper is not pregnant. There are all these people that were like, "Oh, I think she just... is pregnant and wants to start a family." And like, there's a couple of reasons I think

that rumor reflects poorly on both sides. It suggests that The Daily Wire gets rid of you if you're pregnant, and that is not the case, obviously. I had three kids at The Daily Wire. So, Bret Cooper wanted to get pregnant and have a family, she would be very much allowed to stay at

The Daily Wire. Um, and yeah, I just think that was like poor messaging. Also, she's super young; she's got a lot of gas left in the tank. So no, she's not pregnant and, like, doing this because she wants to go farm. She's going to be

everywhere in 2025. So we just want to wish her a lot of luck. All right, I'm going to read a quick ad because I do want to also now speak about the USS Liberty because people, like I said, so much innuendo were trying to attach my

Personal message: What was happening with Brett? We pre-shot that episode so long ago. It was always slated to go out on the day that it went out. So, anyways, first I do want to throw it to one of our sponsors, and that is going to

be first up, Pre-Born, of course, because we know that every baby's life is a precious gift, full of potential and dreams waiting to unfold. That's why Pre-Born, the nation's largest pro-life organization, is on the front lines for at-risk babies and mothers who are

facing unplanned pregnancies. Pre-Born network clinics are positioned in the highest abortion rate areas in the country. They are equipping these clinics with the resources that they need to save these precious babies' lives and provide compassionate support to mothers for up to two years after birth, at

absolutely no cost. As abortion continues to rise, Pre-Born is expanding their life-affirming care to help more hurting women and to save more babies. And if you have the means, please consider a leadership gift to save babies in a big way. Your tax-deductible donation of

15,000 will place an ultrasound machine in a women's center, saving countless lives for years to come. And now, through a match program, your gift will be doubled. Donate: You just dial *250 and say the keyword "baby." That's *250, baby, or you can donate securely at

preborn.com.  Again, that's preborn.com. Okay, so backstory to Liberty, the USS Liberty episode. A lot of people were asking why I named it a personal message. Well, it is simply a fact that you cannot discuss certain topics on

YouTube on TikTok without them being severely suppressed, and the USS Liberty is one of these topics. So the backstory of this is, I had never known the USS Liberty story, and you can see that I am not the only one, given the global reaction that people had to learning

the story. About this, I learned about it a few months ago. I came across Phil Tourney and his letter, and I really fell apart. I mean, just the concept of our military men being treated like that was really devastating to me. But then I couldn't get in contact with him. I was like,

emailing the USS Liberty website for months. We were emailing them just trying to get in touch, just trying to get any survivor to come on, and we weren't hearing a response. So I then hit up Jocko Willink because someone had pointed out

to me that Jocko Willink had the USS Liberty survivors on his podcast. And I really just want to shout him out for that because, even though my episode became a trending topic, there were people that had pioneered that and

had really done the brave thing and had been speaking to these people before me, and Jocko Willink was that individual. And I had had Jocko Willink on my podcast when I was at Prager University, so I reached out to him and I was like, "Hey, do you

have a contact for any of these guys?" And he gave me multiple contacts. Spoke to Phil Tourney that day on the phone when we recorded him. All I can tell you is, like, you could just feel the Holy Spirit moving in that room. It was really hard

for my team to keep it together. And I've got three guys on my team, and I think all of them wanted to cry, particularly when he tells the portion of the story where, after—or during—the attacks, and they're actually after the attacks, when they're trying to rescue as many

lives as possible. And you just—a vision: he's 20 years old, he's 20 years old, and he has someone looking up at him, asking him, "Am I going to die?" And he looks him in the eye and says, "Yeah, you're going to die." Truly just a remarkable, remarkable story, and

it completely gave me chills. I knew we—he and I had a discussion thereafter about the fact that we just knew that Christ was with us in that room. I knew the episode was going to be big, and I wanted to do whatever I could in my

power to make sure that it wasn't limited, uh, in the same way that TikTok has limited it. If you go on my TikTok right now, every video has like millions of views, hundreds of thousands of views. The USS Liberty clips: 30,000 views. They, they

suppress this information, and the um, Israeli government took credit for that. They said, "We got TikTok under control; we have Instagram and Facebook under control; we are looking now to get X under control." And so that's one of the reasons that you can't hear these

stories and they can't share them. So I said on that day, "Let's not name it USS Liberty; let's name it something that will completely throw off their algorithms." And I thought a personal message was a good idea, and clearly I was right; it threw off their algorithms.

It had gone viral, and this was partly aided, bizarrely, by the fact that some people thought I was going to be announcing that Bret Cooper and I were working together. I'd love to work with her, but that was clearly not the announcement. So we slated it for, uh,

December 11th, and God did the rest, really. And I can tell you that Phil Atty has told me they are receiving so many donations right now. When my husband and I went through their charity and saw that these men weren't giving any money

monthly—you can go because, obviously, all that stuff is public—I mean, they were raising no money annually. No one would tell their stories; everybody is afraid of the Zionist lobby, and it just broke my heart, as these men deserve to be treated like kings. He's at the tail

end of his life; you know, he's he's about to be 80 years old, and all he has done is dedicated his life to trying to be recognized for being a hero. It just broke me, and I feel very blessed and certain that God gave me the platform to

be able to do these sorts of things. And the spot that I have in my heart for our veterans, who risk their lives every day… to hear him speak about how they didn't know where they were going, they just knew they were going to defend their

friend and their ally, only to be attacked by them. Obviously leading to a much broader conversation. We have, uh, as someone in the chat just pointed out, three million views right now and climbing in a period of 48 hours. Does it put a target on my back? Sure.

But I would say, upon reflection, that Phil Tourney gave me the perspective that I needed because it's very easy to feel sorry for myself when I felt like I was dealing with a Zionist attack—not a literal one, a media attack—trying to destroy my character, trying to destroy

my career because I wasn't siding with the actions of a foreign government. And they tried to pretend that it was anti-Semitism when I'm just telling the truth about what I'm seeing. To hear what he lived through, to hear about having to pull up your shipmates—then being

threatened by your own government; they left you out to die for 17 hours, just hoping that your ship would sink overnight—what I lived through is absolutely nothing. And I'm just so grateful to Phil Tourney for providing me with that perspective. I already gave, as

you saw me pledge in the episode, $40,000. I'm going to do that every single year, and I'm hoping to do more. I was saying to my husband, I want this to be my charity of choice. I think that we should sell those amazing USS Liberty

hats and give a portion of the proceeds—after we obviously have to deal with, like, shipping and all that stuff—giving a portion of the proceeds every year to the remaining survivors. And so I'm just very grateful to all of you.

And we have been inundated, obviously, with so many emails from people saying, "I never knew! I never knew." There's so much of that, particularly when it comes to the topic of Israel. And the second you start to—the second you begin to ask questions about things, their entire

Media empire, I call it like the luddite party. Empire just comes down and crushes you and calls you...

as he said, we've been called Jew-haters, we've been called anti-Semites, we've been called Nazis, and our only crime is that we survived.

That day...you...unimaginable, unfathomable. So I do want to remind you guys, if you haven't taken the time out, please go visit the USS Liberty vets uh.org website. Give a dollar, whatever it is. I just...I want these men to live like

kings for the rest of their lives. And hopefully, people with even bigger platforms than me will pick up the story. I will always host them on the anniversary of that attack and make sure that we just keep that in our mind. And by the way, for those of you...

a lot of you had asked in the comments, like, why did they do this? Because they wanted us to go to war with Egypt. And you know, people often make the argument that Israel is the size of New Jersey. Yeah, that's the whole point. They need bodies; they need people that are going to fight their

wars. And there's no question that this was a false flag. And for people that don't think it was a false flag, that's not the only one that Israel did around that time trying to drag us into war with Egypt. You should look up the Lavon Affair. I will spell that for you: L-A-V-O-N

Affair. That is another one that is swept under the rug, in which they tried to kill Americans to drag us into a war with Egypt. It's happened so many times, and no one is allowed to speak about it because we are just told that...

These are our friends, these are our allies, and you know, with friends and allies like this, who needs enemies? So I'm just happy that we were able to foster that conversation. And also, we broke through this wall with so many Jewish Americans emailing us and saying,

because I'm so sorry, like I didn't... you know, this story has completely ripped me apart. And I just said back to them, yeah, this is what I've been trying to say: like the government is up to no good. And the fact that we're not even covering

the Western media... the corruption trial of Bibi Netanyahu that is going on right now, as it pertains to October 7th... the amount of times that they have been accused of executing these false-flag attacks and then blaming it on Arabs in the past, a part of record in history,

that you guys don't even know about, really tells you that our media is completely occupied. And that's in large part due, in my opinion, to AIPAC spending. They spent $100 million in our last election cycle; that's completely crazy. And it was something that JFK Jr. was

trying to stop in the weeks leading up to his death. He was demanding that they register as foreign agents, and um, they never did; they just ignored his orders, which came from the State Department, and then he was... eliminated. And that kind of went away. He was also

adamantly opposed to them, um, becoming armed with nuclear arms because Dwight D. Eisenhower warned him on the way up that they were trying to go nuclear. Most Americans don't know this. And then LBJ becomes president... his aunt, I think her name is like, 'Jesse James' something...

was a member of the Zionist Congress, and suddenly he undoes everything JFK was fighting against, or rather, does everything JFK was fighting against. So we just need to be able to have these truthful conversations without these petty smears of anti-Semitism, like 'being Jewish'

American does not make you responsible for the crimes of a foreign state. And um, when they're allowed to murder U.S. servicemen and not even have to say sorry, it doesn't pass the sniff test for me. So we were doing a lot more work, uh, kind of waking people up to

everything that really happened through the 50s, 60s, and 70s that has since been covered up. Uh, I'm just very happy, again, blessed that this interview has done so well, and I know that that is in large part due to just Christ and the

feeling that he—the Holy Spirit—was just really with me and Phil Turner on the day that we recorded that interview. Okay, going to jump into another pro-life ad, reminding you guys about 7 Weeks Coffee. Today's show is also sponsored by

7 Weeks Coffee. Why are they called Seven Weeks? Because at seven weeks, a baby is the size of a coffee bean. It's the same time that a heartbeat is clearly detected on an ultrasound. That is why they donate 10% of every sale to support

pregnancy care centers across the country. They have raised over half a million dollars for these centers and have therefore saved over 5,000 lives. I can tell you about the coffee really quickly because I'm very picky about what I put in my body. It's mold-

Free, pesticide-free, shade-grown, low-acid, and organically farmed—it truly checks all the boxes! Just in time for the holiday season, 7 Weeks Coffee is having their biggest promotion of the year. You can enjoy exclusive discounts, free gifts with your order, and new, limited-edition coffees.

Whether you're looking for stocking stuffers or the perfect roast, 7 Weeks Coffee has you covered this Christmas season. Exclusively for my listeners, you can go to 7weekscoffee.com and use code Candace for up to 25% off your order.

Remember that your order will directly help support a network of over 900 pro-life organizations across the United States. Okay, I've got to tell you about this conversation. So, this girl has been trending; I'm sure you've heard about her, but in case you haven't, I'll give you a brief update.
