Happy Wednesday, everybody. Violet Affleck, the daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, has turned 18, and she's already going viral for testifying in front of the LA County Board, making an emotional plea for mask mandates. She wants everybody to wear a mask. Plus, we've got George Clooney, who has pende an op-ed for the New York Times, making a similarly emotional plea for Joe Biden to step down. But first, last week it was, She's a flat earther. But today, the Zion media is trying to convince the I'm worse than a flat-earther. I'm, you guessed it, a Holocaust denier. When will they ever grow tired of these games? I know that I won't. That's what's coming up on Candice. That will be great. My poor PR guy, he wakes up in the morning. He's got tons of text messages from journalists asking for clarity. Is it true? Did Candice say this? How could she say this? Everybody knows what's happening. They're watching the show, journalists, every minute of the show, and they're looking for just a four-second clip that they can take out of context and spin it and send it around to all of their journalist friends.

We do. We have a cell of Zionist media. We have people that are working to further the interests of Israel, and that is why they keep taking me out of context. But I literally don't care. I just hope they understand that I'm built different.

Don't care.

Built different. Don't care. I really do love that clip of Andrew Tate, but it is very true. I just know that I was built for this moment, this moment in time. I have the courage, and I feel so encouraged. That's what's weird, is how happy I am every single day. This morning, I started my day by having a very long interview with Russell Brandt, and I hadn't been on his show in quite some time. It was really great to speak to him because our journeys have converged in a variety of strange ways. Russell Brandt was the interview that I was giving all the way in London on the night that I met my husband. I was notoriously three hours late when I met my husband because I was doing Russell Brandt's podcast. At the same moment, we have both been compelled toward faith, understanding that the politics is downstream from the faith conversation. The left versus right, Republican versus the Tori versus labor. It means nothing if you don't understand this has always been about good versus evil. We had an amazing conversation, and I'm telling you, it's going to break the internet. People will be extremely upset.

I think he said it's coming out in a few days, but I did want to bring you a moment from it because I can do that. I can give you guys a little premiere of that conversation. Take a listen. These are the bad guys. Christians are always the bad guys. Every time you learn about Christian history, we're always the bad guys. You learn about the Spanish Inquisition, we're lied about what actually took place then. Because it makes Catholic and Christians look bad. We're told that the dark ages, about the dark ages and the age of enlightenment, the dark ages weren't dark. It was an age of remarkable Christian progress, a remarkable Christian experimentation. I am just very passionate now about using my platform to awaken Christians around the world because I believe that when Christians are awakened, a lot of the evils in the world will stop.

It feels to me that perhaps some of the things you are describing, and you're I'm describing a lot of things, Candice, perhaps because in some ways, Christianity, through its various forms of institutionalization, became meshed onto power, whether that's through Roman Catholicism and the establishment of the Vatican or even the conversion of Constantine. It seems that the point that power and Christianity melded together, political power, I suppose I mean, that there was a complexity that It means, at least now, that we truly are living in an individualistic, materialistic, progressive, and post-late rational, post-Enlightenment age, that Christianity is in the quagmire with old, discarded ideas, somehow replaced with some of the forms of progressivism that you in your previous incarnation focused on quite heavily. I suppose there's an assumption that Christianity doesn't require any protection, doesn't require any special spaces. I've heard people say, for example, that this return to Christianity that seems to be happening culturally, this new intrigue and excitement, a a new awakening being, or it might be what proceeds a second coming or a rapture, is an attempt by the culture to reboot the last thing that works. True Christianity, Candice, would by its nature be anti establishment somehow challenging to people in positions of power and to powerful institutions.

It seems that you've embraced this aspect of Christianity. But when you look at the modern political stage with what's happening in my country, a new centralist, authoritarian, globalist government coming to power with an extraordinary portion of their votes, what's happened in France, a machination and alloying being of political groups in order to maintain Macron's centrist, authoritarian globalist power, that what is required is a inversion, a new radicalism. And yet the only type of radicalism that's discussed is either technological radicalism and advanced citizen management or maybe Islam. I wonder what you think about the necessity for this new Christian awakening to become politicized, or at least to become a challenge to existing political power.

You'll be able I hear my answer to that when he drops the interview, but here is what I will say. I'm very aware of why I'm being attacked. Obviously, they don't think I'm a Holocaust denier. No more do they believe that I am a flat earther, but they understand that I am talking about Christian concepts. I I'm talking about Christian history. I'm talking about the fact that Christians were mass murdered across Europe, and then Americans were sold lies about that murder. They've taken out of context a clip because what they don't want people to see is the BBC documentary that I went over in that episode, The Savage Peace, learning that German civilians, German Christians were murdered in mass by the Allies. This has been hidden. Most Americans don't know it, and most Americans have been shocked to learn it. So they want me gone because, oh, then what falls apart, of course, is this entire narrative that we're always fighting the bad guys. Here's what I just keeps adding up. But if you own a home, I want you to call my friends in American Financing. They can help you break free from that cycle. American Financing is saving people just like you an average of $854 a month. Think about what you could do with an extra $800 every single month, not having to worry about those minimum monthly payments. Even better, it costs absolutely nothing to find out how much you can save. All it takes is a quick call to American Financing. If you start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. You could totally use that break. Call American Financing today and start your journey towards being credit card debt-free. 800 That's 800-795-1210. That's 800-795-1210. All right, guys. Now, let's jump into some of your comments.Look, people had a lot of feelings yesterday about me talking about Jordan Peterson. What do you want me to do? I'm obviously reporting on what I'm seeing. It's not my fault that I am acknowledging that a lot of people who follow Jordan Peterson have broken off from that, men that I genuinely believed in him. You could see the comments. I got my book signed from him, like what's going on. A lot of it is because of what's happening on Twitter and Mikaela Peterson calling for censorship. This is a person who represents herself as Jordan Peterson's manager, His daughter and at times, his spokesperson. She has called for censorship. That is newsworthy no matter which way you slice it. It is not personal. Jordan Peterson has been very nice to me, but we have to talk about that. I need clarity on his perspectives on speech because that This is not what he has been arguing for in the past. Hopefully, this is just his daughter speaking on his behalf or speaking, I guess, on the family's behalf, but that still makes me nervous. I want to hear him say he doesn't believe that, that he does not believe that people should be censored for using the word filth.Anyways, Mikaela Peterson instantly commented she was having a spiral on Twitter. She wrote, One-fifth of Americans are prescribed psych meds like my dad was. They are nearly impossible to get off and cause withdrawal. So severe, especially after long-term use, that most people stay on them. I hope we don't ever suffer the way he did coming off of those meds. First and foremost, Mikaela, just because I don't live my life and every personal thing that happens to me on the internet, the idea that I don't know anything about drug addiction or I've never lived through anything is crap. It's a horrible way to present your argument. I think every single family, sadly in America, has in some way been impacted by drugs. That's just the reality that we live in. I am no exception to that rule. Again, just because I don't wear my heart on my sleeve doesn't mean that I haven't lived through a lot of things. I would argue that I've probably lived through more before I turned 10 years old and you've lived in your entire life. That would be my guess. But again, I'm not here to stage a pity party.I'm here to talk about why he is condoning or platforming or not saying something about your extreme calls to censor speech. Those are extreme. We don't stand for that, least of all on the conservative side of things. Vagabond writes, I hope J. P. Sees this and takes you up on your offer, the offer to come sit down and talk about this. As someone who really took what he said to heart when my life was really in a bad place, I have improved my life drastically in part due to him. It hurts to see him fall to the level of baseless gaslighting and name calling. His daughter's tweets were just so childish. When you will debate and talk to communists, Marxists, Zionists, leftists, Muslim, jihadists, atheists, but not a Christian nationalist, it shows there is a deeper reason at play here. That's a very interesting comment, and I hadn't considered that. That also could be why people are going, is he just going to protect Zionism and not actually follow what his principles are, which he believes in free speech. He has sat down and spoken to a lot of people with conflicting opinions, and yet he seems to accept.He pretends, I think, rather, that the groypers, you can't even sit down with a groyper and have a conversation. Groyper, by the way, for those of you that don't know, it's the term that's used to describe people that follow nick Fuentes. I actually have no idea why they're called groypers. I can't even give you an explanation for that. But I'm radical when it comes to free speech. I believe that you have to platform He's even ideas that you believe are horrific and backwards so you can show the public how horrific and how backwards those ideas are. That's why I'm not afraid of any debate. I just genuinely am not because I believe that I'm right, and I also have the humility to be wrong. Again, this does not wipe away all of the amazing contributions that Jordan Peterson has made, and he has made plenty. I mean, he has literally radically transformed so many individuals' lives. But if he is not living that or if something has changed or his perspectives have changed, I think people deserve to know about that because they have placed so much investment in him. I mean, the reason he is wealthy is because he had these perspectives on speech.He's talking about how he believes in free speech, how he radically believes in free speech. He took money from people that believed in him. I think if you change a perspective, which you are welcome to do, by the way. You are totally welcome to do that. You at least owe it to your audience to explain why that may be. This person writes, There was never any coming back from 'give them hell'. Give who 'hell'? A population that's already besieged. That's made up of over 50% children. Disgusting. It was a full mass slipping moment that I will never unsee. Yes, as I said, I was just reporting on what happened, and a lot of people who have been very sympathetic to what's going on to the Palestinians were disturbed by that tweet. I think he did actually do a video thereafter saying that he was being reactive and maybe would have said more in a different way if he had had the opportunity to. But for a lot of people, that left a mark. Lastly, we have from Manecht. I'm blowing up on Monette, guys. I'm telling I am getting so many messages from you guys every single day.This person writes, Hi, I think Dr. Peterson's stance on censorship could be my fault. What? Days before he made his first tweet about troll demons, I had a friend of mine relay an email to JP through Jonathan Pago, offering JP advice for developing sustainable online communities. I was a member of JP's first fan club on Facebook in 2017. He and Mikaela were in the group and he loved us. If Jp witnessed the group's collapse, and I'm sure it broke his heart. My email to JP explained why the group collapsed and how we were able to create and manage a new group resulting in multiple marriages, including my own, and countless lifelong friendships. The collapse involves a flood of trolls from the Sam Harris Facebook group. It was an actual meme war. I never heard back from Jp, but his sudden shift toward censorship days after I sent that email haunt me. I'd be more than happy to forward the original email. Facebook, Battleship, and Life-Changing Communities for Context, if you'd like. Thank you for all that you do and love you. I don't think it's that. I honestly, genuinely don't think it's you. I don't even believe that he agrees with censorship.Like I said, I think these things are difficult. It's difficult for him to thread what his daughter is saying, who he obviously loves very much with what he believes she, his manager. It's just the situation is a bit incestuous. I obviously don't mean that in a sexual way. I mean, just like you're working with your family. It's like an incestuous situation. It's just a difficult needle for him to thread. I think he's choosing anger as a response because people are mad at his daughter. I think it's hard not to react when people you feel are attacking your family members. But as I said, he has a platform in a large part because of people that have made investments in him, and that's the only reason that we should hold his feet to the fire. I don't live in a cult. I don't work in a cult. Again, we only cover Jordan Peterson. People were like, Are you covering him because you're upset about... No. Jordan Peterson was lovely to me. We covered him because he was trending all weekend over this censorship call from his daughter. It's a newsworthy item. It's a very newsworthy item in America, especially where we believe in free Free Speech.People that are Jordan Peterson fans all across the world who don't have the same attachment to free speech, you guys don't have these first amendment rights, will never understand how significant they are to the American consciousness. We will always attack. We will always be on attack when there are any calls for censorship in any capacity. I wouldn't even say attacks, but these criticisms of Jordan Peterson are actually coming from a place of concern. Again, I will say I would welcome him on the show anytime to have a conversation because he's a very kind man who has contributed a lot of good things to our societies, particularly to men. But I saw a lot of women saying, He changed my life, too. So yes to you ladies as well. All right, unfortunately, that is all the time that we have for today. We covered so much. I'll see you tomorrow.

just keeps adding up. But if you own a home, I want you to call my friends in American Financing. They can help you break free from that cycle.
