Oh also, I think I might be a conservative.

0:32

Our first video went viral.

0:34

Candace, Welcome to the show.

0:35

It's a fan mouling you from Freedomain Radio here with Candace

0:38

Owens.

0:38

Candace Owens, Welcome to.

0:39

The Rubin Report. Thank you.

0:41

I'm so happy to be here right now.

0:42

The conservatives, we're all courting the rising

0:45

star.

0:45

Black people don't have the same level of connections

0:48

as Jewish people.

0:48

It's like an ignorant compliment.

0:50

Sonnie West to genius.

0:51

I love the way Cannas souls.

0:52

Thanks Kanye West.

0:54

Please take a.

0:55

Meeting with me.

0:55

But let's not pretend that Kanye West is some sort of genius.

0:58

I want to make America great

1:00

in my own way.

1:01

And Candace has facts she's researched.

1:03

Is the candis You've just exploded onto the scene Kamye.

1:06

West in the Oval Office today.

1:07

A movement called Black Sit.

1:13

I'm Patrick Carelci and I'm Adriana

1:15

Cortes.

1:16

And this is Red Pilled America, a

1:18

storytelling show.

1:20

This is not another talk show covering the day's

1:22

news. We're all about telling stories.

1:25

Stories. Hollywood doesn't want you to hear stories.

1:28

The media mocks stories

1:30

about everyday Americans at the globalist

1:33

ignore.

1:34

You can think of Red Pilled America as audio

1:36

documentaries, and we promise only one thing,

1:41

the truth. Welcome

1:46

to Red Pilled America. We're

1:56

ad part three of our series of episodes entitled

1:58

Family Feud. Iven't Heard Part two?

2:00

Stop and go back and listen. From the beginning,

2:06

we're looking for the answer to the question what can

2:08

we do to stop the spread of anti Semitism by

2:11

telling the story of the epic conflict

2:13

between Candiece OANs and the Daily Wire. So

2:15

to pick up where we left off, by the end of twenty

2:18

eighteen, Candice Owans had risen

2:20

to a height of cultural relevance that few

2:22

on the right had ever enjoyed. She'd struck

2:24

up a friendship with a global superstar,

2:27

the artist then known as Kanye West, and

2:29

the two set out to convince Black Americans

2:31

that they'd been used by the Democrat Party for

2:33

decades. Establishment conservatives

2:36

like Ben Shapiro were openly skeptical

2:38

of their effort, as the duo saturated

2:40

not only right wing media, but pop culture

2:42

outlets as well. To formalize

2:45

our mission, Candace launched Blexit,

2:47

a movement to inspire the exit of African

2:50

Americans from the Democrat Party. The

2:52

one two punch of Kanye and Candace was

2:54

inarguably a monumental moment

2:56

for the black community. One of the biggest

2:59

black artists on the planet teamed up

3:01

with a rising black conservative woman to

3:03

deliver a message that Democrats had been

3:05

censoring for decades. It was an

3:07

effort that would undoubtedly put them at risk of

3:09

being ostracized from their community, but

3:12

they did it anyway. The efforts were

3:14

moving the needle in unprecedented ways,

3:16

and that's why this Blexit movement had

3:19

to be stopped or at least regulated.

3:22

In late twenty eighteen, Candice

3:24

Owens joined Charlie Kirk in the United

3:27

Kingdom to launch Turning Point UK, the

3:29

British arm of Kirk's Conservative advocacy

3:31

nonprofit. At one of their events,

3:34

an attendee expressed a fear of being called

3:36

a nationalist for taking the patriotic

3:38

stance on issues. Candace's

3:40

response would lead to one of her biggest

3:42

red hills yet.

3:49

Yeah, I agree. I actually don't have any problems

3:52

at all with the word nationalism. I think that

3:54

the definition gets poisoned by

3:56

laitists that actually want globalism.

3:58

Globalism is what I don't want.

3:59

So when you think about whenever we say nationalism,

4:01

the first thing people think about, in at least in America

4:04

is Hitler. You know, he was a national socialist.

4:06

But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany

4:09

great and have things run, well, okay, fine.

4:11

The problem is is that he had dreams

4:13

outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.

4:15

He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking

4:17

German, everybody to look a different way. That's

4:19

not to me. That's not nationalism. So I

4:22

don't really have an issue with nationalism.

4:23

I really don't. I think that it's okay.

4:25

It's important to retain your country's

4:27

identity and to make sure that what's happening

4:29

here, which I think is incredibly worrisome

4:31

in terms of just the decrease

4:34

in the birth rate that we're seeing in the UK,

4:36

is what you kind of want to avoid. So I'm not I have no problems

4:39

with nationalism, it's globalism I try to avoid.

4:41

Some of her history may have been a bit off,

4:43

but to any honest observer, the crux

4:46

of her message was true. Hitler's

4:48

Nazi party was officially called the

4:50

National Socialist German Workers

4:52

Party, so in Candas's

4:54

reasoning, it was Hitler's association

4:57

with nationalism that gave the term

4:59

a bad rap. When she made the

5:01

statement in late twenty eighteen, no

5:03

one gasped in the crowd. In fact, there

5:05

wasn't even one condemnation from the audience.

5:08

The journalists that were in attendance didn't write hit pieces.

5:10

Weeks went by with not a single person

5:12

expressing outrage over her comments.

5:17

Well, the simple reference to Hitler in any

5:19

terms that didn't start and end with monster

5:22

was enough to give her opposition the required

5:24

tools for an attack. Enter

5:26

Media Matters, a far left nonprofit

5:29

organization whose mission is to take down

5:31

conservatives.

5:32

In early February twenty.

5:34

Nineteen, a writer from the organization

5:36

took a snippet of Kandas's statement for months

5:39

earlier and used it to suggest the Blexit

5:41

founder was an anti Semite.

5:43

It was an odd attack.

5:45

The previous year, Candace joined Charlie

5:48

Kirk in Israel to celebrate the opening

5:50

of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. If

5:52

she were an anti Semite, she wasn't a

5:54

very good one.

5:55

Well.

5:56

Not long after Media Matters published their

5:58

piece, uzzfeedstep in to amplify

6:00

the hit job. The far left outlet

6:03

mocked Candace running with the headline

6:05

turning.

6:05

Point has already lost one of its star recruits.

6:11

And that's when the chorus of Jewish organizations

6:13

piled on. The Jewish advocacy

6:16

group. The ADL issued a statement

6:18

as well.

6:19

Hitler's murderous crimes against Jews and others

6:21

were horrific, regardless of whether they occurred

6:23

across Europe or in Germany alone.

6:26

Hitler wasn't a globalist but a genocidal

6:28

dictator.

6:29

The American Jewish Committee took a few

6:31

jabs as well.

6:33

No, Candace Owens Hitler was actually

6:35

really bad from the beginning.

6:37

The Jewish Journal went with the headline ADL

6:40

calls out Candace Owens over hitler comments.

6:43

Forward, a Jewish nonprofit media

6:45

outfit, claimed that Candace said that Hitler.

6:47

Would have been fine if he stayed in Germany.

6:50

A grossly inaccurate interpretation

6:52

of her comments. The choir of attacks

6:55

was curious. Everyone would have

6:57

expected the far left media Matters

6:59

and buzz Feed to purposefully misinterpret

7:01

Candace's message, but the Jewish organization's

7:04

doing it was puzzling given her association.

7:07

She was speaking on behalf of Charlie Kirk's

7:09

Turning Point USA, which has long

7:11

been considered staunchly pro Israel. It

7:14

appeared, like with Kanye's compliment a

7:16

few years earlier, that these Jewish groups

7:18

were attempting to put Candace on notice.

7:20

The message being sent appeared to be strict.

7:23

Adherence to a very specific narrative

7:26

was required. Anything that colored

7:28

outside the lines, even if by mistake,

7:31

was not allowed. The

7:35

reaction from Jewish organizations

7:37

must have been a surprise to Candace, but

7:39

they weren't done. One Jewish

7:42

organization decided to punch below

7:44

the belt. The Simon Weisenthal

7:46

Center, a Jewish Holocaust remembrance

7:49

organization, chastised the young

7:51

Black Conservative, stating quote.

7:53

Scope and depth of Candace Owen's lack

7:55

of knowledge of basic history is appalling

7:58

and frightening. Hitler's program

8:00

to make Germany great was based on race

8:02

and anti Semitism.

8:04

It was pretty clear they were suggesting

8:06

Candace Owens was an anti Semite. The

8:08

striking thing about these attacks was the

8:10

timing. The outrage didn't build

8:12

over days, eventually forcing a statement

8:14

from these organizations. Their condemnation

8:17

of Candace all came within hours of the

8:19

original post. It was almost

8:21

as if it were all orchestrated.

8:26

Well.

8:26

The courus of pressure forced Candace to put

8:28

out a video clarifying her statement, just.

8:31

To clarify this, because I had about fifty

8:33

emails from journalists reaching out asking for

8:35

clarity. I was at an event in

8:37

the UK and a question was asked, not

8:40

about Hitler, and I think the person asked,

8:43

how can we, as people that believe

8:45

in the sovereignty of our nations avoid being

8:47

called nationalists? And I thought

8:49

the person was sort of implying that

8:51

nationalism is a dirty word, and we see that a lot in

8:53

America, that nationalism is sort of conflated

8:56

with For some reason, Hitler like that the only

8:59

interpretation and or the only understanding

9:01

of the word nationalism that people seem

9:03

to have in America as they instantly think of Hitler,

9:05

and I think that that's really really wrong and that we

9:07

have to almost correct the record on that.

9:10

As Candace went on, she explained

9:12

that in a time when globalism was spreading,

9:15

strong leaders needed to stand up for American

9:17

sovereignty. She expressed disgust

9:20

with the source that amplified the hit job.

9:22

It's just ridiculous. Me's buzzfeedes. She nede me be

9:24

doing this video. It's so stupid.

9:25

Before she was done, it became obvious

9:27

that Candace wanted to make it crystal clear

9:29

that she did not support Germany's World War

9:32

II leader in any way.

9:33

There's no excuse for or defense ever for

9:37

everything, for everything that he did. I mean, obviously

9:40

we've learned the lesson of what happened in Europe

9:42

with national socialism, and it's something

9:44

that will never come to America.

9:46

Like Trump said that with all the attacks.

9:49

In the end, Candace stood by her original

9:51

statement.

9:52

I stand by my statements, and that

9:55

is that.

10:01

Publicly Candice was projecting righteous

10:03

indignation. Who wouldn't feel an

10:05

injustice for wrongly being accused of anti

10:07

Semitism, but it wasn't hard to see

10:10

that something was going on behind her

10:12

defiant facade. During her defense,

10:14

she was at times uncharacteristically

10:16

frantic.

10:17

No, I'm saying Hitler wasn't a nationalist and

10:19

if Hitler all only the

10:22

only.

10:22

Thing that She'd later confess that fear

10:24

had swept over her.

10:26

The firestorm, and I endured, I will tell you

10:28

something personal. I was so stressed

10:30

out by that event that I stressed

10:33

myself into an autoimmune response,

10:35

like my body was breaking down because I didn't understand

10:37

what was happening. I had never in my entire life been

10:40

accused of anti Semitism, and suddenly I was fighting

10:42

for my career.

10:43

For a simple, generally true statement.

10:46

Her career was hanging in the balance.

10:48

I was temporarily blacklisted from Fox

10:50

News for having said this sentence,

10:53

which suddenly again was pulled out of obscurity,

10:56

and I quite literally was

10:58

facing a threat that everything was going to

11:00

be over, because how dare I say that?

11:02

I have absolutely no right to say that.

11:05

In the midst of the firestorm, Candah

11:07

says that a friend strongly suggested that

11:10

she visit the leaders of one of the Jewish

11:12

outfits that condemned her, and when

11:14

she did, she got the red pill of

11:16

her life.

11:20

The spring is here and it's time to treat

11:22

yourself to the Licorice Guy. You

11:25

guys should know by now that I love licorice.

11:28

It doesn't get any better than the gourmet licorice

11:30

made by the Licorice Guy. They have a great

11:32

selection of flavors to choose from, like red,

11:34

blue, raspberry, black green apple, just

11:37

to name a few. The freshness of the licorice

11:39

is unlike anything you've ever tasted

11:41

in licorice before. Seriously, if

11:44

you haven't tried licorice from the Licorice Guy,

11:46

then you ain't living life right. It's time

11:48

to dump that store bought licorice that's hard

11:50

enough to break your teeth and get yourself the soft,

11:52

fresh stuff from the Licorice Guy. What I

11:54

also love about the Licorice Guy is that

11:56

it's an American family owned business.

11:59

It's made right here in the beautiful US

12:01

of A. We are big proponents of buying

12:03

12:25

back to red pilled America. So

12:27

in February twenty nineteen, far

12:30

left media and Jewish groups were suggesting

12:32

Candace Owens was an anti Semite for

12:34

a statement she'd made months earlier.

12:37

The attacks appeared coordinated. In

12:39

the middle of the firestorm, Candace says

12:41

that a friend strongly suggested that

12:43

she visit the leaders of one of the Jewish

12:46

outfits that condemned her, the Simon

12:48

Weisenthal Center, a Holocaust remembrance

12:50

organization. Candas says she took the

12:52

suggestion and met with an old man

12:54

from the Center.

12:55

And there was this very strange

12:58

meeting that occurred.

12:59

I had to sit in a meeting and

13:01

explain that I didn't

13:04

think Hitler was a great person.

13:06

When she was done with her explanation, the two

13:08

men spoke amongst themselves.

13:10

Now I want to be clear that I

13:12

didn't understand the meeting because

13:14

the individuals were speaking in Hebrew. My

13:17

understanding going into it was that once

13:19

I spoke to this individual, things

13:21

would be clarified, and

13:23

then I could just go on living

13:25

and my reputation would pretty much be restored.

13:28

And by golly, that's kind of what happened.

13:30

And then my reputation was restored, or at

13:32

least I was allowed to go on pursuing

13:35

what I wanted to pursue, which was just

13:37

talking about black Americans and the fracturing

13:39

of the black and white relationship.

13:42

The meeting with these Jewish elders somehow

13:44

reduced the heat on her controversy, but

13:47

in the months and years that followed, Candace

13:49

says she felt as if she was in effect

13:52

under the thumb of an invisible hand in conservative

13:54

media.

13:55

The threats that candas could be over at

13:57

any moment, for you, don't you get

13:59

out of line again by saying

14:02

something that you never actually said,

14:04

but don't make us have to threaten you again.

14:06

That I still always felt over me because

14:09

it was just a very scary thing to go through.

14:17

Being publicly accused of being hateful,

14:19

especially when accused of being racist,

14:21

homophobic, or antisemitic, is an experience

14:24

few have endured. There is a feeling

14:26

of vulnerability when it happens.

14:28

Most look to somehow shield themselves

14:30

from similar attacks in the future. It

14:32

appears Candace took this well traveled path

14:35

enter conservative establishment godfather

14:38

Dennis Prager Well.

14:39

I was born in Brooklyn, New York,

14:42

and I was raised in an Orthodox

14:44

Jewish family, so I

14:46

have a very strong grounding in religion

14:49

and specifically of course, in the Torah.

14:51

In two thousand and nine, political commentator

14:53

Dennis Prager launched prager You, a

14:56

story he told right here on Red Pilled America

14:58

back in December nine. Where

15:00

did the idea for prager You come from?

15:03

Jim? Entirely from my dear

15:06

friend and the producer of my radio

15:08

show, Alan Estren. In the Indian

15:11

Ocean. I was on

15:13

one of my listener cruises. I've been

15:15

taking listeners for twenty five

15:17

years on cruises around the world. This

15:19

one was on the Indian Ocean,

15:22

and he just said to me, I

15:24

think we should start Prager University.

15:26

Prager u's early funding came from the

15:29

fracking billionaires Dan and Ferris

15:31

Wilkes, known as the Wilkes Brothers.

15:33

Besides backing preger U, they were

15:35

heavy donors to Ted Cruz in his twenty

15:37

sixteen presidential bid. They also

15:40

gave the seed money for an upstart streaming

15:42

service called The Daily Wire, but more

15:44

about that later. Shortly

15:47

after her cleansing procedure at the Simon Weisenthal

15:50

Center, Candace aligned with prager

15:52

U. On February twenty eighth, twenty

15:55

nineteen, it was announced that Candace

15:57

Owens was starting a podcast with the nonprofit

15:59

organized. Her first guest

16:01

was Roseanne Barr, the comedian famous

16:04

for her late eighties sitcom Roseanne.

16:06

Hey, everybody, welcome to the Candace

16:08

Owen Show, where you get my unfiltered opinions,

16:11

and this one is definitely unfiltered.

16:13

In her debut episode, Candace gave Roseanne

16:16

Barr a platform to explain the scandal behind

16:18

her ouster from a reboot of The Roseanne

16:20

Show almost a year earlier. In May

16:22

twenty eighteen, Roseanne was fired

16:24

from the show after suggesting President

16:26

Obama's former senior advisor, Valerie

16:29

Jarrett looked like a character in Planet

16:31

of the Apes. Jarrett is black.

16:33

I've lost everything, and I said

16:36

to God, I am

16:38

willing to accept

16:40

what of her consequences the springs,

16:43

because I've KNOWNE wrong.

16:44

A month after her canceling, Roseanne initiated

16:47

her apology tour by appearing on a podcast

16:50

with one of her close friends, a man named

16:52

Rabbi Shmooie Botaak.

16:54

You understand why this caused a lot of pain, Yes.

16:56

I do.

16:57

You know.

16:58

It just makes me sick that I

17:00

did it and that it was taken that

17:02

light.

17:03

Throughout the years, people have turned to Rabbi

17:05

Shmooe to cleanse themselves of

17:07

racist accusations. Singer Michael

17:09

Jackson famously sought his counsel when the

17:11

Icon was accused of anti Semitism by

17:14

providing Rosanna platform. In March twenty

17:16

nineteen, Candice was playing a similar

17:19

role, giving a cleanse to the Jewish

17:21

comedian for her past racial transgressions.

17:24

At the time of that tweet, I was

17:26

in the middle of a conversation about

17:29

the Iranian people for three months

17:31

on Twitter. Most of the reason I

17:33

ever went on Twitter was to defend

17:36

Jewish people and our

17:38

way of life and our thinking, and also

17:42

a new way of being in the Middle

17:44

East.

17:44

Razanne went on a long, meandering explanation

17:47

for why she compared Jarrett to the Planet

17:49

of the Apes and ultimately apologized

17:52

for the statement.

17:53

What was horrifying about it to me was

17:55

the way that it was purposely mischaracterized,

17:57

and I was not allowed

17:59

to playing it. I was never

18:01

allowed to say what it was actually about

18:04

and what I meant.

18:05

Candace did her part to explain Roseanne's

18:07

dilemma.

18:08

Well, of course, not your conservatives. Yeah,

18:10

that's not how it works. Conservatives

18:15

don't get second chances. Conservatives don't get to apologize.

18:17

Conservatives don't get to explain in a fuller form

18:20

on what they were talking about.

18:21

You should know that those are the rules.

18:23

And nobody knew that Valerie

18:25

Jarrett was even ten percent black. Nobody knew that nobody

18:27

thought she was black. They just dug for something and

18:29

said, ha, we've got her.

18:31

What was perhaps most noteworthy was that

18:33

Candace debuted her first talk show

18:35

on a Jewish run network with the defense

18:37

of a Jewish comedian giving her

18:40

experience just weeks earlier over

18:42

her nationalism comments. It appeared

18:44

to be a symbolic offering to the Jewish community.

18:48

In the months that followed, Candace went through some

18:50

major developments.

18:51

Okay, guys, we are rolling into another episode

18:54

of The Candace Owen Show, and this

18:56

one is a wedding special.

19:00

No, I'm not talking about William and Kate or

19:03

Harry and Megan, I'm talking about me.

19:05

I am getting married this weekend.

19:07

In August twenty nineteen, Candace

19:09

married a man named George Farmer. George

19:12

was in Oxford educated britt who got his

19:14

start running a hedge fund with his father. He

19:16

traded in base medals. George

19:18

would eventually get involved in politics,

19:21

and at its launch he was appointed chairman

19:23

of Turning Point UK. So when

19:25

Candace participated in the launch in late twenty

19:27

eighteen, during her infamous nationalism

19:30

comments, her and George cross paths.

19:32

It was apparently love at first sight, because

19:35

a little over two weeks after they met, George

19:37

Farmer proposed the two would marry

19:39

at the Trump Winery near Charlottesville,

19:41

Virginia, owned by Donald Trump's son

19:44

Eric Trump. Kanye did not attend.

19:46

By the time of her wedding, the artist had distanced

19:49

himself from Candace. It was rumored

19:51

that Kanye's in laws, the Kardashians,

19:53

were behind the distancing. Nevertheless,

19:56

Candace was already a firm fixture

19:58

within the conservative movement. In the months

20:00

that followed her August twenty nineteen wedding,

20:03

she spoke on Capitol Hill.

20:04

You know that white supremacy in white nationalism

20:07

is nowhere near ranks, nowhere near the top of

20:09

the issues that are facing Black America. And

20:11

the reason that you are bringing them up in this room

20:14

is because it is attempt to make

20:16

the election all about race as the Democrats.

20:20

Why, mister chairman,

20:22

it's my time. At SEAPAC twenty twenty,

20:24

the Conservative Political Action Conference, she

20:27

spoke out against the victimhood narrative it

20:29

was plaguing the black community.

20:30

You see, the sin of slavery was not brought

20:32

to this continent by white Europeans,

20:35

as the left would have us imagine. Slavery

20:38

existed everywhere in the world, including

20:40

here, since the dawn of humanity. Different

20:43

Native American tribes weren't sitting around

20:45

Kumbai eyeing over a fireplace. They

20:47

were trying to imperialize one

20:50

another. They would enslave their

20:52

war captives into labor. They would sometimes

20:54

sell their own children. They tortured others

20:57

as a part of their religious rights, and depending

20:59

on which tribe you were in, cannibalism

21:02

was even the commonplace.

21:21

The conservative establishment loved

21:23

what she was doing. Aside from

21:25

shielding them from accusations of racism,

21:28

she was also the perfect weapon to deliver

21:30

a tough love message to the black community.

21:33

Her life appeared to be calming down a bit,

21:35

but she couldn't have known that in just

21:37

a few months, a chance arrest in Minneapolis

21:40

would again put her in hot water with her

21:42

own community. Mother's

21:46

Day is around the corner. What are you going to

21:48

do for your mom? Are you going to get her flowers?

21:50

It's a nice gesture, but so short lived.

21:53

21:57

not give mom a gift that keeps on. Giving Red

Welcome back to red Pilled America. So

22:48

By May twenty twenty, in less than

22:50

three years since our coming out video, Handis

22:53

Owens had risen to the upper echelons

22:55

of the political scene. The conservative

22:57

establishment loved what she was doing. She'd

22:59

be come the perfect weapon to deliver a

23:02

tough love message to the black community

23:04

and had grown accustomed to fielding the iire

23:06

of her brothers and sisters. But

23:09

a chance arrested in Minneapolis would raise

23:11

the anger directed at her to an entirely

23:13

new level. These pre

23:17

re On

23:20

May twenty twenty, a man

23:22

named George Floyd Junior died

23:24

while being arrested by Minneapolis police.

23:26

Get Get

23:33

Up, Get Right in

23:36

Minneapolis to I tensions are high, as four

23:38

police officers have been fired after a

23:40

man was pinned to the ground and died. The

23:42

incident was caught on camera.

23:44

The city of Minneapolis immediately erupted

23:46

in violence.

23:48

Overnighty Minneapolis on

23:50

fire.

23:55

There's the fire.

23:56

It does appear that that fire is a police

23:58

station.

23:59

Chaos Minneapolis streets for a fourth

24:01

night.

24:02

In the days it followed. The destruction quickly

24:04

spread to big cities all across America.

24:07

I have nowhere to go now.

24:09

This country is on fire.

24:11

We are facing an insurrection by

24:14

people that we don't quite understand who they are,

24:16

but by all indications they are

24:18

violent leftist thugs.

24:20

Like clockwork, politicians elbowed one

24:22

another out of the way to virtue signal and

24:25

support of George Floyd, including

24:27

the future Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

24:29

The fact show that mister George Floyd

24:32

appears to have been the victim of murder,

24:34

and I personally don't believe that a close

24:36

review of the video can lead anyone

24:38

to any other conclusion.

24:40

But if you on the right had actually watched

24:42

this movie before and began asking

24:44

questions, Candace was one of

24:46

them. About a week after riots

24:49

erupted, Candace decided to take to Facebook

24:51

and dump a red pill on the block community.

25:00

I do not support George Floyd and the

25:02

media depiction of him as a martyr. It

25:06

was something that I wanted to say early on, but

25:08

there were so many emotions and

25:11

so much pressure for me to

25:13

go with a popular opinion.

25:14

About who George Floyd was.

25:17

And sometimes it can be difficult when there were just so

25:19

many external pressures to say what you believe in

25:21

This was an instance where I felt like my

25:23

silence would have been better.

25:25

In the beginning, she.

25:26

Initially felt that being silent as the

25:28

riots erupted was the wise move and

25:30

people must remember the cultural landscape.

25:32

By June third, twenty twenty, the

25:35

country was literally on fire, with

25:37

violent riots breaking out in Minneapolis,

25:40

New York City, Los Angeles, Oakland,

25:42

Chicago, Georgia, practically

25:44

every urban enclave in America. The

25:46

social contract had been ripped to shreds.

25:49

Blacks were furious.

25:51

They saw with.

25:51

Their own eyes the video of Minneapolis

25:54

police officer Derek Chauvin placing

25:56

his knee on the back of the neck of George Floyd,

25:58

and it became the symbol of systemic racism

26:01

and law enforcement. The

26:09

entire mainstream media were raising

26:12

George Floyd up as a martyr. Almost

26:14

no one dared to claim otherwise. The

26:16

social pressure for public figures to

26:18

buy into that narrative was absolutely

26:21

enormous. But in the height of this outrage,

26:24

Candice began digging into George Floyd's

26:26

past. She initially stayed

26:28

back, waiting for more details to come

26:30

in, but when they did, staying quiet

26:33

was no longer an option.

26:35

I recently came across something that

26:37

was an idea that was planted into my head

26:39

by Shelby Steele, and it has been something

26:41

that I cannot forget.

26:44

Shelby Steele is a Black conservative

26:46

author.

26:47

Shelby Steele said that the Black

26:49

community is unique from other communities.

26:52

Our culture is unique from other communities

26:54

because we are the only community that

26:56

caters to the bottom denominator of our

26:59

society. Explain what that means. It

27:01

means to say that not every Black

27:03

American is a criminal, not every Black American

27:05

is committing crimes, but we are unique

27:08

in that we are the only people that

27:10

fight and scream and demand

27:13

support and justice for the people in our community

27:15

that are up to no good. You would be hard

27:17

pressed to find a Jewish person

27:19

who has spent five stints

27:21

in prison, who commits a crime and

27:23

dies while committing a crime, and

27:26

that the Jewish people champion and

27:28

demand justice for. You will be hard pressed

27:30

to find this in white America. You'll be hard pressed

27:32

to find this even in Latino America.

27:35

If there is a person that is spent

27:37

multiple times in prison, you are not going to see

27:39

a bunch of Latinos coming

27:42

out demanding justice

27:44

for this person, even if, and I want to be very

27:46

clear, what I'm saying is not any

27:48

defense for Derek Chauvin.

27:50

She believed the Floyd family should seek

27:52

justice in his case, but after looking at

27:54

his history, Candice couldn't believe that

27:56

he was being portrayed as a hero. She

27:59

went on to exc explaining her research into George

28:01

Floyd and what she found was not

28:03

being widely reported by the media.

28:05

George Floyd is being uplifted as an amazing

28:07

human being. First and foremost, George Floyd

28:09

at the time of his arrest was high on

28:12

fentanyl and he was high on methamphetamine.

28:14

Of this came back in both of his autopsy

28:16

reports. If you pursue the Nile

28:19

on one transcript, you can see the person describing

28:21

somebody who is out of their mind high,

28:23

which is what made the person fearful because he tried

28:26

to use a bill

28:28

that I guess was a fake bill to purchase something.

28:31

George Floyd had spent time in prison for

28:33

theft with a firearm, three stints in prison

28:35

for cocaine offenses, and he'd even robbed

28:37

a mother and her child at gunpoint, pointing

28:40

a gun at the mother's abdomen. A

28:42

neighbor was astute enough to get the license

28:44

plate of the getaway car, and George

28:46

Floyd was eventually arrested. He was

28:48

sentenced to five years in prison for that

28:50

horrific crime.

28:52

This was all news to most people, and.

28:54

Candace was delivering it at a highly volatile

28:56

time, a time when the black community

28:59

was lifting or George Floyd up as practically

29:01

Jesus on the cross. And it

29:03

was at this precise moment, when the black

29:05

community was out for blood for his death, that

29:08

Candice delivered the tough love message

29:10

that made her such a target within her

29:12

own community.

29:13

Let me tell you six percent of the population,

29:16

right, Black men, six percent

29:18

of the population, account for

29:20

forty four percent of all

29:22

murders in this country according to twenty

29:25

eighteen statistics.

29:26

That is what you call a gap.

29:28

And yet white people, white people, who

29:30

represent sixty percent of the population, represent

29:33

fifty percent of all the murders.

29:34

Right.

29:35

That makes no sense in a community where

29:37

we are extreme minorities, we

29:39

commit fifty percent.

29:41

Of all violent offenses.

29:42

Evenly split her Rant drew

29:45

the attention of conservative media, including

29:47

Glen Beck.

29:48

Is this really the guy that black

29:51

America? I mean, they were very careful

29:53

to pick Rosa Parks. Is

29:56

this the symbol of Black

29:59

America today?

30:00

I'm gonna say yes, it is a symbol of Black

30:02

America today. And it's a symbol of

30:04

a broken culture in Black America today,

30:06

and the people are not willing to talk about again

30:09

how we contribute to our own demise.

30:11

Conservative media loved her message,

30:14

but the black community felt as if she were stabbing

30:16

them in the back, including stand up

30:18

icon Dave Chappelle.

30:19

Why wouldn't one care with

30:22

the favorite comedian things after

30:25

they saw a police officer kneel on a man's

30:27

neck for eight minutes and forty

30:30

six seconds. I can't get that number

30:32

out of my head because it was my time

30:34

of birth on my birth certificate.

30:37

I was born at eight forty six in the morning.

30:39

And to kill this nigga in eight minutes

30:42

and forty six seconds. I

30:44

watch everything everybody says. I think

30:46

Cannas Owens trying to convince white

30:48

America don't worry about it. He's a

30:51

criminal anyway. I

30:53

don't give a fuck what this nigga did. I

30:55

don't care what this nigga did. I don't

30:57

care if personally Candazulan's

31:01

in her stinky pussy.

31:04

I don't know what stinks, but I imagine it does.

31:07

By constantly bringing up uncomfortable

31:09

truth to the Black community, Candace

31:11

was sacrificing in a way that few

31:14

in the conservative movement could match.

31:16

The constant attacks by her own people

31:19

appeared to earn the respect of the growing

31:21

streaming network, The Daily Wire, and

31:23

in September twenty twenty, she appeared

31:25

on the Ben Shapiro Show.

31:27

Candace Owens, thanks so much for joining the show.

31:28

Thanks for having me.

31:29

The show opened with Ben breaking some personal

31:32

news.

31:32

You told me this, I'm not giving anything away. You're pregnant.

31:35

Yeah, that is an amazing thing. That is a life changing

31:37

thing. How do you feel about that?

31:38

I'm excited. I mean, I'm really excited for that

31:40

next chapter of my life. And I would say in

31:42

terms of my political life, the stake's

31:45

still a bit higher in terms of where America

31:47

is going to go.

31:48

But the show eventually got to an area of contention

31:50

between the two conservative commentators,

31:53

that being the cultural moment that Ben had

31:55

initially marginalized.

31:56

So I need to ask you about the Kanye

31:59

issues. So we had a little bit of a head

32:01

of head on Twitter. Ye when Kanye

32:03

came out and he was supporting President Trump,

32:05

and I said Live by the Kanye, Die by the Kanye, which mainly

32:08

me saying, you know, Kanye takes a lot of positions

32:10

on a lot of different issues, and you got a little

32:12

bit upset about that. It seemed, yeah, you know, with

32:14

Kanye.

32:14

I think what I was upset with was that so many people

32:16

were just dismissing him and calling him crazy, and

32:19

it's just not fair. I mean, I think I

32:22

like Kanye. Kanye's a friend, and Kanye

32:24

is a person that is a billionaire, and I

32:26

don't I would not take someone, you know, to

32:28

be like he's richer than both you and I sitting here combined,

32:31

right, I'm assuming, I don't know, maybe you're a billionaire

32:33

and people keep taking him lightly and it's

32:35

been his entire life.

32:42

Candice addressed the elephant in the room. Unlike

32:45

other conservatives in media, her and Kanye

32:47

had taken an enormous risk in delivering

32:50

a tough love message to Black Americans.

32:52

No mainstream, gay, Muslim, White,

32:54

Asian, Latino, or Jewish conservatives

32:57

had criticized their own community in

32:59

the way that Candace and Kanye had with the Black

33:01

community.

33:02

Maybe I was emotional in my response because

33:04

it is it is so hard. You try being a

33:06

black conservative, amiss black Lives

33:08

Matter right and go out

33:10

and say I support the president, and you will see how

33:13

you how you get treated right you it's easy.

33:15

You get called racist with us. It's there is

33:17

a it's ferocious. They want

33:19

you gone. I mean, they will accuse you of anything.

33:21

They want you gone. You get death threats, you get all

33:23

these horrible things. And here's a guy that's just saying I'm

33:25

no longer going to lie about who I support. Not

33:28

if you don't support him, you're a racist. And I

33:30

thought, this is this is productive. It's a good thing for

33:32

someone to say, I'm comfortable saying that I'm black

33:34

and I'm a conservative in the cultural realm, especially

33:36

because we know most Black Americans have their

33:39

eyes fixed culturally. That it just

33:41

sent a huge single that it's okay to

33:43

break away from the from the hive mentality.

33:46

So that was the nuance. He wasn't doing anything

33:48

that I found to be harmful.

33:49

After a very public critique of Kanye,

33:52

Ben Shapiro had come to Candas's way of

33:54

thinking on the issue.

33:55

So I actually agree that I think that it's actually a very important

33:57

thing that a Kanye West put on a Maga

33:59

hat and based he said, you know what, it's fine, I'm allowed to wear a

34:01

Maga hat. As someone who's been called a Jewish Nazi

34:03

for being a Republican, I certainly understand

34:06

the perspective of being inside

34:08

a minority group where it is considered verboten

34:11

to be on a different side of the

34:13

political aisle. So I'm very glad

34:15

that happened.

34:16

The two appeared to have buried the hatchet, and

34:19

it should be noted that on paper, Ben

34:21

and Candace were similar in at least

34:23

one way. Candace was a Black

34:25

Conservative in a community that was over

34:27

ninety percent liberal. Ben was a Jewish

34:30

Conservative in a community that, by

34:32

some estimates vote almost eighty percent

34:34

for Democrats. They'd become important

34:36

weapons within conservative politics, but

34:39

for different reasons. As Candace

34:41

and Ben's discussion continued, it looked

34:43

as if her appearance on the Ben Shapiro Show

34:46

was a bit of a test run to see how

34:48

these two egos would mesh, and

34:50

apparently Candace passed the test.

34:58

On election night, to the twenty the

35:01

Daily Wire co founder Jeremy Boring

35:03

broke some news, and

35:06

I.

35:06

Think what you're doing is so important and the only thing that

35:08

would make it cooler is if you did it with us.

35:10

Me a woman joining the Daily Wire

35:12

team.

35:14

Yeah, yeah, second man's

35:16

club, I said, if any woman were going to be

35:18

invited, it's you a company, Daily Wire.

35:21

I think one hundred percent

35:23

I would love to join the Daily Wire.

35:25

I think there is a lot of stuff we could do together.

35:27

Should we make it official on election

35:30

night? America? Am I joining a Daily

35:32

Wire? Is it real? Ben Shapiro to you

35:34

first?

35:35

Absolutely?

35:36

Let's and Andrew

35:38

Clayven, the man that would later claim

35:40

to have played a role in discovering Candice co

35:43

signed the offer.

35:44

Andrew, I've been I've been and lobbying

35:46

for this for many many years.

35:48

Aganda please come over, save us,

35:50

save us.

35:51

Oh my gosh. Well, then it is a

35:53

done deal. On election night and

35:55

the results that come in good. Canda Owns

35:58

is coming to Nashville, baby, all right.

36:01

Candace Owens was set to join the burgeoning

36:03

streaming service. It was a big move

36:06

for everyone involved, but Candace

36:08

appeared to have no idea what she was stepping

36:10

into because the Daily Wire

36:12

had a very specific agenda that was

36:14

quietly in operation one that was

36:17

at odds with everything that she represented.

36:20

Before it was all over, Candace would

36:22

find out that asking tough questions

36:24

in search for the truth was not really

36:26

in the Daily Wire's charter. The company

36:28

that claimed to be against cancel culture

36:31

actually had its eye on being the ones

36:33

with the power to cancel.

36:36

Coming up on Red Pilled America.

36:37

And Candace's expressed opinions

36:39

that I disagree with, opinions that I maybe

36:42

even very passionately disagree with in

36:44

some cases. But that's well with then her

36:47

right as an opinion host at The Daily

36:49

Wire.
