Candace Owens [01:00]: "When we talk about blackmail in general in D.C. it is so obvious there is a blackmail ring. It is really just pathetic if any person can't just admit that."

Candace Owens [02:26]: "He insisted that he would only settle if the Fontainebleau paid him $1 million."

4. RFK Jr.'s Personal Struggles and CIA Connections

Candace transitions to RFK Jr., emphasizing his honesty about past addiction issues but suggesting that these struggles may be indicative of external manipulation, possibly by the CIA.

Candace Owens [06:15]: "RFK Jr. ... has contributed something for which I believe the entire world owes him tremendous gratitude. But I have never been under any illusions that RFK Jr. was not in some capacity being controlled."

She references historical CIA programs like MK Ultra, drawing parallels between past mind control experiments and RFK Jr.'s alleged vulnerabilities.

Candace Owens [14:50]: "If you were Jacob Rubenstein and you were a part of this assassination squad or a part of the day, they're planning to kill him and you think that you're in the in crowd and then they want to turn on you, they can give you a concoction of drugs and they can make you crazy."

5. Detailed Analysis of RFK Sr.'s Assassination

Candace provides an in-depth analysis of the assassination of RFK Sr., challenging the official narrative and presenting evidence that suggests a second gunman was involved, implicating CIA involvement and cover-ups.

Candace Owens [12:30]: "The evidence clearly shows that you were not the gunman who shot Robert Kennedy. There is clear evidence of a second gunman in that kitchen pantry."

She cites testimonies, court declarations, and expert analyses to support her claims, questioning the integrity of the LAPD's investigation and highlighting possible motivations for silencing the Kennedy family.

6. Speculations on Daily Wire's Financial Stability

Candace addresses rumors about the Daily Wire potentially facing bankruptcy, attributing recent layoffs and executive departures to strategic restructuring rather than financial insolvency. She defends the company while expressing skepticism about negative claims circulating online.

Candace Owens [38:50]: "I don't think the bankruptcy rumors are true. I think it's much more likely a restructuring. And that, by the way, is the right thing to do."

She criticizes former Daily Wire executives, particularly Alyssa Cordova, portraying her as toxic and a negative influence within the company.

Candace Owens [40:10]: "I find her to be remarkably toxic and I feel amazing that I can say that because she's no longer personnel at the Daily Wire."

Candace urges listeners to avoid engaging in online drama and instead focus on constructive discourse.

Candace Owens [46:30]: "When these things happen, it is best to log off. People never want to do that. They always think they can out tweet or out share and change people's minds."
