CANDACE OWENS (HOST): So, let me tell you why I like conspiracy theories. I like conspiracy theories because I view them as mind yoga. It's very important to bend your mind like a pretzel sometimes to make sure that you actually have a mind. You know what I'm saying? I actually do believe that if you don't use it, you lose it. And this is the circumstance of why so many people that spend years and years and years in college and they have so many degrees can't see what's right in front of them because they're not actually challenged to critically think. They are just taught to remember what's on a piece of paper and to spit back out exactly what the professors at the universities have told them to remember.
In essence, it's just brainwash, right? In order to make sure that you don't become a victim of brainwash, you have to challenge yourself to think a different way. So the smartest people with the PhDs -- the doctors, the pediatricians, the professors, they just could not figure it out when it came to COVID because it required a little bit of common sense, really. And it turns out that common sense is not that common.
...
You know, when it comes to conspiracy theories, I always say this - I say that I find the people that don't believe in any conspiracy theories to be out of their minds. They're out of their minds. They're absolutely crazy. How much more information -- how much more information can be unveiled to you? Things that you were told yesterday were conspiracy theories that are suddenly true today before you suddenly just are able to recognize that your government lies to you over and over and over again. I mean, I can count the times that they've been caught lying in the last two years. It's insane. Calling us all conspiracy theorists and going, oh, never mind. We just didn't have the right information at the time. Liars. You always had the information. You always knew it was true. You lie to the public full time and you lie for one thing and one thing only, for power. The government wants power. So what fool still believes that all conspiracy theories are false?
