Across several episodes, Candace Owens examined the autobiographical title and repeatedly highlighted inconsistencies, such as missing or altered photographs of grandparents and claims about Harris's upbringing that she argued were inaccurate. She suggested the book was used to construct a particular narrative about the subject's background and criticized the publisher for lack of fact‑checking. The overall tone was one of strong skepticism and disapproval.

Candace Owens discussed Kamala Harris's book, focusing on discrepancies regarding a photo of Harris with her paternal grandmother, who allegedly died before Harris was born. The podcast host investigated and found birth and death certificates to support her claims.
visiting my paternal grandmother, Beryl, in Jamaica
when I was 10 months old, I visited Spanish town, Jamaica
Miss Iris, that again would be his grandmother, was the mother of eight children too. Was the sweetest and gentlest person one could meet, but underneath it was a tough farming woman who ran the cane farm at Thatch Walk near Aynintown, jointly owned with her husband, Mr. Christie.
that's what I heard, that she's Indian, that her father's White. That's what I was told.
Here's the book with my great-grandmother Iris Finnegan in Jamaica.

Oddities were found within Kamala Harris's autobiographical book regarding her grandmother, Beryl, which prompted an investigation.
We had encountered some oddities in Kamala Harris's autobiographical book, The Truths We Hold, that we felt were worthy of exploration, namely her grandma, Beryl.
And you can see on the bottom there, it says, visiting my paternal grandmother, Beryl, in Jamaica.
And yet that Beryl was actually mentioned nowhere in the actual text of the book, just the photo.
And then she was removed entirely from the Youth Reader's Edition, which was published just a couple of months later.

The speaker strongly implied that the book contained a photograph of Kamala Harris with a woman purporting to be her grandmother, Beryl, who the speaker believed was actually the family's help, not the actual white, Irish grandmother.
We believed that this was a case of stolen identity. Essentially, there was a Beryl, but the woman that was being pictured was not the grandma.
And she's very positive, right? She has a spirit about her. She has this fond memory. Delightful. She's delightful in her approach about Beryl.
I don't think I possess within me the adequate vocabulary to discuss my distaste for a woman who borrowed a black person for her autobiography so that she could secure the black vote.
You're telling me we were the ones that were able to uncover this? What is the job of the mainstream media? To lie to you and to protect the state.

The speaker expressed suspicion that the photos of Kamala Harris's grandparents, as depicted in her book, were not of her biological relatives.
that the women that were pictured in the photos in Kamala's book, The Truths We Hold, my instincts are going to be proven correct that these are not her biological grandparents.

The speaker found the book to be a "treasure trove of bullshit," criticizing Kamala Harris's narrative of growing up middle class and trying to 'blackify' herself. The speaker highlighted passages detailing Harris's move to Canada, her expensive ballet classes, and learning French, which contradicted the narrative of a typical middle-class upbringing.
It really is incredible to revisit that book it's just dry the book is driving me crazy now the truths that we hold right because she speaks about moving to canada and she writes this i was happy just where i was but when i was in middle school we had to leave my mother was offered a unique opportunity in montreal
we need to stop with this narrative that kamala harris grew up middle class it's so offensive to me i just can't stand anymore if another person says it i'm gonna be sick i think i'm gonna be physically ill if we keep pretending that she is one of two things one middle class and two black we just have to stop doing both of those things immediately
Episode: I Spoke With Kamala's Uncle! | Candace Ep 78
The speaker reviewed the book, noting that the edition they initially possessed lacked pictures of key family members like Grandma Barrel and Black Iris, which were present in a later Young Readers Edition that coincidentally omitted those specific pictures. The speaker believed the book was published to establish a specific 'legend' about her background, which they heavily critiqued as performing blackness.
We're asking the question because you made this a theme in your bookie book which you're going to get to in a little bit okay.
I downloaded that so that you didn't have to because i wanted to send a picture of her grandma barrel to someone so initially when we started looking into the story my producer had downloaded the book i had downloaded the book but he had stumbled upon the picture of barrel so i hadn't actually flipped through the e-book that i had downloaded and so remarkably it was kind of the first time i was going to the picture segment looking for a barrel and i realized barrel's not in this book
it's just i guess ironic that the pictures that they removed for the young readers later edition were pictures of black iris and grandma barrel
Harper Collins published this book about Kamala they must have fact checked this and all of this must be true people have this wrong perception that if a book is published as nonfiction that there was some effort of due diligence which means that everything that you're reading is not fiction
my mother surrounded herself with close friends who were really more like sisters my godmother a fellow berkeley student whom i knew as aunt mary was one of them they met through the civil rights movement that was taking shape in the early 1960s and was being debated and defended from the streets of oakland to the soap boxes in berkeley's sprawl plaza
