Introduction

MYRON GAINES: Candace, thank you for having me here.

CANDACE OWENS: I’m excited. And thank you for making it work on short notice.

MYRON GAINES: Of course, of course. These are crazy times, so I totally, we got to be careful about where we’re at.

CANDACE OWENS: Right, right.

MYRON GAINES: So it’s been a while since we last spoke. Last time you were on, I remember we did After Hours where you were saving a few women’s lives. And I did want to tell you this on camera. One of the girls that you spoke to actually quit OnlyFans on that day.

CANDACE OWENS: Wow. It was a good conversation. I feel like a lot of people think that those conversations are not worth it or the show is all theater. But for me, I want to sit across from these young women because anybody’s life could have ended that way.

I could have ended up being one of these OnlyFans girls if there weren’t so many life interventions, because it’s just being sold to women so much that this is the easy way out.

The Impact of Real Conversations

MYRON GAINES: So yeah, but I wanted to make sure I told you that on camera that she literally quit, like not too long after you did that show. So that’s great. Saving lives.

So kind of with that, I saw that you had did a debate on Jubilee with a bunch of feminists. Obviously, we’re in a modern day age. Things have changed quite a bit. We’ve both been pretty critical of feminism, but I think with what you’re doing, you’re able to really reach a demographic of women that just guys like me and Andrew Tate and others just aren’t going to reach because we’re abrasive in the way that we get it.

So they might want another female’s perspective on the detriments of feminism and everything else like that. So kind of, given how society is now, how do you see feminism today with young women? And then what do you predict is going to happen in the next five, ten years? Are we getting better? Is it getting worse? What are your thoughts in general on that?

Understanding “Tate Culture”

CANDACE OWENS: So I was actually very interested in Tate culture. That’s what I’m going to call it. So I’m going to put you in that orbit of Tate culture. All of these male influencers that were coming out and calling girls b and h* and all this stuff, and people sat back and were like, oh, my God, this is horrible. Whatever.

But I’m like, wait a second. Whatever you think about him, whatever you think about Tristan, whatever you think about this culture got very big very quickly. And there’s got to be something there, right? There has to be.

So I kind of, that was the reason why I flew out to meet Andrew Tate. There was all these conspiracies that I knew him before and all. I met Andrew a total of two times before I did his show. My husband hung out with him maybe three times in his life before him. And I met, he was actually friends with PJW, and that’s how I met Andrew.

MYRON GAINES: Gotcha.

CANDACE OWENS: So my husband was actually friends with PJW, and I just wanted to know what it was. I’m never a person that will dismiss something on its face and call it a name. There has to be some substance here.

And what was actually happening was you got Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate, and you got Myron Gaines because you perpetuated a culture of Lena Dunhams, right? So you’re acting like men just got tired of it is what happened.

And finally, men looked around and somebody stood up and said, it’s actually okay to be a man, and you don’t have to listen to any of these women. Now, you may not have liked how they said it. You may not have liked that they were doing this on top of Lamborghinis, but the reality is that what sat beneath that was a horribly toxic culture where women were dictating the terms to men.

And every time a man did something that actually felt natural to them, you called it toxic masculinity. And books were written, and Lena Dunham’s writing articles, and there’s a show about this, and Lena Dunham’s naked on Instagram. I wrote a whole chapter about Lena Dunham in my book, and she’s naked on Instagram, and she’s lecturing you. If you don’t want to see her overweight, naked and tatted up.

So you can’t blame the culture, Tate culture, until you are ready to address where this actually came from, which was women constantly bashing men over the head and telling them that masculinity, full stop, was wrong.

Combating Modern Dating Problems

MYRON GAINES: Given the problems that we have, obviously, whether it’s me or Tate or other people will kind of come in and say, hey, this is what you need to do as a guy. This is how the modern day marketplace is now when it comes to dating. What’s your approach to kind of combating this problem from a female perspective?

CANDACE OWENS: First, you have to understand the origin of feminism, right? To understand that this was not a culture and an ideology that came because they wanted women to have equal rights with men. Okay? This was a CIA sponsored psyop.
