Previously on red Pilled America.

0:27

What can we do to stop the spread of anti

0:29

Semitism?

0:32

If Candace wants to say those things about the Jews,

0:35

she has to leave The Daily Wire.

0:37

Claven even went as far as to equate Candas's

0:39

actions with that of Satan.

0:41

In fact, I felt a small investment in her.

0:43

In large part, I kind of discovered her.

0:45

So.

0:45

I was born in White Plains, New York, but I was raised

0:48

in Stamford, Connecticut.

0:49

Cannis was expected to work from a young age.

0:51

I received some phone calls one night, just

0:54

really volatile, extremely racist

0:56

voicemails.

0:57

The political connection made the story

0:59

go nuclear.

1:00

A woman named Zoe Quinn reached

1:02

out to her.

1:02

She says, you're going to ruin everything.

1:05

I was red pilled Instantly.

1:07

She believed she was chosen for a mission.

1:12

I'm Patrick Carelci.

1:14

And I'm Adriana 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, Brad,

1:56

part two of our series of episodes entitled

1:58

Family Feud. If you haven't heard Part

2:00

one, stop and go back and listen. From

2:02

the beginning, we're

2:06

looking for the answer to the question what can

2:09

we do to stop the spread of anti Semitism

2:11

by telling the story of the epic conflict between

2:14

Candice Owans and the Daily Wire. So

2:16

to pick up where we left off. By July twenty

2:18

seventeen, the young Candice Owans

2:20

had already been through a lifetime of controversy.

2:23

As a high school senior, she made statewide

2:26

news after fielding racial slurs

2:28

from the son of a powerful Connecticut

2:30

politician in the process, she

2:32

witnessed the cold, calculated underbelly

2:34

of the NAACP when they used

2:36

her trauma for a photo op. A

2:38

few years later, she unknowingly stepped

2:41

into a culture war by challenging the credibility

2:43

of a feminist darling, Zoe Quinn. The

2:46

media, who Candice thought were the defenders

2:48

of young black females, attacked her for

2:50

daring to question Quinn's intentions. Then,

2:53

when an up and coming filmmaker named Mike Cernovich

2:55

reached out in her defense, she experienced

2:58

another awakening. Google's vile

3:00

description of Cernovich beared no resemblance

3:02

to the man she met in person. Her

3:05

trust in big Tech was forever shattered.

3:08

These ordeals had Candace questioning

3:10

everything, and an unmistakable feeling

3:12

began sweeping over her. Candace

3:15

thought that a higher power was preparing

3:17

her for something bigger. After about

3:19

a year of reflection, she decided

3:21

to go on a mission to convince her brothers

3:23

and sisters that they were being used. Candace

3:26

Owens believed that to acquire and retain

3:29

power, the Democrat Party was seeding

3:31

a victim narrative into the minds

3:33

of the black community.

3:34

There is a message that I was chosen to

3:36

deliver to the black community. I feel that, from the

3:38

bottom of my soul, that I was picked

3:41

to do this, That these things, these huge,

3:43

crazy things, trying to do a good thing gone wrong,

3:45

A random car ride with strangers I've never

3:47

met, turning into front page news. These don't

3:50

happen to somebody by chance. It happened to someone

3:52

because it was preparing me for a bigger moment, a moment

3:54

of harsh criticism.

4:00

She thought she'd found her calling. So

4:03

in the summer of twenty seventeen, Candace

4:05

set up a camera, pressed record, and

4:07

introduced herself to the world as red

4:09

Pill.

4:10

Black mom

4:13

dad.

4:14

I'm a lesbian, I like girls.

4:16

In her debut, Candace created a video

4:18

of her coming out to both her parents.

4:21

She played all three roles.

4:23

Oh sweetheart, we

4:25

always knew. At the bottom line,

4:27

we just want our children to be happy and we love

4:30

you regardless, great soul. Oh

4:32

thank you, guys.

4:33

Also, I think I might be a conservative.

4:37

I don't understand. I can't break Hey,

4:39

get that camera out of my wife's face. Guys,

4:42

guys, it's totally fine. It's okay.

4:44

I just, you know, think a little more conservatively.

4:46

But sweetheart, You're Black.

4:49

Her first video went viral, and

4:51

she was just getting started. Candace

4:54

created short videos addressing the issues

4:56

of feminism, transgenders in the military,

4:58

and the myth that be helps blax.

5:01

I don't support the Black Lives Matter

5:03

movement whatsoever because the Black Lives

5:06

Matter movement does not support me. I think

5:08

at a better title for that movement would be Black

5:10

Deaths Matter. They will pay for

5:12

somebody's freenal, but they will not pay for somebody's

5:15

college education.

5:17

These videos racked up major views

5:19

on YouTube, but it was a tragic event

5:21

in Charlottesville, Virginia that would put

5:23

Candice Owens on the radar of some major

5:26

independent media platforms.

5:28

One person is dead and nineteen injured

5:31

after a speeding vehicle drove into a group

5:33

of protesters marching peacefully through

5:35

downtown Charlottesville.

5:36

The death of an Antifa ally at a Charlottesville

5:39

rally called Unite the Right put

5:41

the media into overdrive.

5:43

Groups including the Ku Kut Klan and neo

5:45

Nazis came from across the country to

5:48

rally against plans to remove a Confederate

5:50

statue from a park. The violence

5:52

included an apparent attack with a car

5:54

on a crowd of peaceful protesters.

5:56

The media pushed the story that races

5:59

from across the country descended

6:01

on the Unite the Right rally, but what they

6:03

failed to highlight was that the so called

6:05

white supremacist rally goers amounted

6:08

to just a few dozen people. If

6:10

this were all of the racists that a country of

6:12

over three hundred million could muster, then

6:14

the problem of racism wasn't much

6:16

of a problem at all. It

6:20

was obvious the media was trying to whip up

6:22

its reliable white supremacy narrative.

6:25

The Candice Owans wasn't taking the.

6:27

Bait white supremacy and the

6:29

KKK. Really, that's

6:31

what you guys want me to be concerned with this week?

6:34

Do I look like an idiot? I mean

6:36

what, I think we need to hear a single thing about David

6:38

Duke, white supremacy and the KKK

6:41

the entire time Obama wasn't office. Do you

6:43

think that they were all hiding underground

6:45

waiting for the next white presidents

6:48

meeting by the light of the moon. Use your

6:50

brain.

6:57

Her video again went viral. It

7:00

is time that caught the eye of Paul Joseph Watson,

7:02

a contributor at alex Jones's infra

7:04

wars.

7:05

Jeiz can this cowens? You can check

7:08

her out on Twitter at red phil Black.

7:10

The YouTube video, which shot

7:13

the prominence a few days ago in the aftermath

7:15

of Charlottesville, was entitled I don't

7:17

care about Charlottesville, the KKK or

7:19

white supremacy?

7:20

Can this Welcome to the show?

7:22

Thank you guys for having me.

7:23

And it was in this early Alex Jones appearance

7:26

that Candice made a confession.

7:28

Speaking of Kanye West, do you think you're starting to

7:30

wake up?

7:31

He's been away a few months earlier,

7:33

in November twenty sixteen, the rapper,

7:35

then known as Kanye West stepped

7:37

on a stage at a concert in San Jose and

7:40

said something that shocked his audience

7:42

and the media.

7:43

I didn't quote right, but

7:45

if I voted, voted

7:48

or Trump.

7:51

The president elect is getting support from an

7:53

unexpected source, Kanye

7:55

West.

7:56

Kanye West told fans at a concert in

7:58

California yesterday that had

8:00

he voted, he would have voted

8:02

for Donald Trump.

8:04

The admission rocked many within the hip

8:06

hop world. Most chalked it up to

8:08

Kanye being Kanye, but then, oddly,

8:11

four days later, the artist was hospitalized

8:14

and placed on a psychiatric hold at

8:16

the UCLA Medical Center. After

8:18

he was released, Kanye took a trip to the

8:20

Trump Tower in New York City for a photo

8:22

op with the President elect.

8:24

You've been friends for a long point

8:27

life.

8:30

Hi a no comment backer, meaning the president elect.

8:32

This is the president elect of the United Slate.

8:33

That makes to say, I just wanted to take a picture right now.

8:38

The turn of events got the attention of Trump

8:40

supporters that by the time Canned is

8:42

connected with Alex Jones in the summer of

8:44

twenty seventeen, she had already been a fan

8:46

of the rapper for years.

8:47

He's a genius.

8:48

Kanye West is a genius, and he's never subscribed

8:50

to group think. He's never subscribed to any politics.

8:52

And I wrote very early on

8:55

before I got involved in politics, if you consider your have a

8:57

fan of Kanye West, there's no way that you cannot be

8:59

supporting Donald Trump.

9:00

There By the way, Candace, I know about your story,

9:02

but this is riveting.

9:03

I want to beg you to come on the Full Show sometime

9:05

with Paul and I and share these

9:08

stories.

9:11

The Info War's appearance introduced Candace

9:13

to a much wider audience, including

9:15

popular philosophy streamer Stefan

9:17

malin You, who at the time had an enormous

9:20

YouTube platform.

9:21

Stefan malling You from Free Demain Radio here with Candace

9:23

Owens. She goes also under the name

9:26

Red Pale Black some of the funniest videos

9:28

barnn on the Internet. Candice, thank

9:30

you so much for taking the time today.

9:32

Absolutely, I'm honored to be here.

9:34

Her early message was clear the black

9:36

community needed to demand more of itself

9:39

and drop the victim mentality.

9:42

Black people have grown to accept

9:45

the fact that they can't be more, that they

9:47

can't be smart, they can't be better, in so much

9:49

that they've sort of woven it into our culture

9:51

that this is now a sign of true blackness.

9:54

In a short amount of time, Candace had caught

9:56

the attention of Mike Cernovich, All, Joseph

9:58

Watson, Alex Jones, and now stuff

10:00

on wallin You, all huge names

10:03

in independent media. Contrary

10:05

to what many conservative commentators

10:07

would later claim.

10:08

In fact, I felt a small investment in her.

10:10

In large part I kind of discovered her.

10:13

It was actually independent journalists

10:15

in the new Right that first discovered

10:17

and amplified the budding black conservative

10:19

commentator. But it wouldn't be long before

10:22

mainstream authorized conservatives sniffed

10:24

a star in the making, and they wanted

10:26

to get in on the action. Do

10:46

Welcome back to red Pilled America. So

10:48

as the New Right introduced Candace Owens

10:51

to a wider audience, mainstream authorized

10:53

conservatives began to sniff a star

10:55

in the making, including Fox News's

10:58

Jesse Waters.

10:59

Kansas was a lifelong

11:01

Democrat but became disillusioned

11:04

with the left after she found herself harassed

11:06

by a prominent progressive. That's

11:10

when she had her red Pill moment.

11:12

We are literally like hamsters

11:15

on a.

11:15

Wheel, Kansas

11:18

joins me.

11:19

Now, so, Candace, what do you mean by a hamster

11:21

mentality with black Americans?

11:23

Well, with black Americans, I mean, the main issue

11:25

is that we keep voting Democrat and

11:28

expecting different results. And in every major

11:30

city where Democrats are running, like Chicago,

11:32

it's a complete mess. I mean, it's absolute disaster.

11:35

Within hours of her appearance on Fox News,

11:37

a hit piece landed on far left website

11:40

Salon dot com. The writer labeled

11:42

Candace the toxic rights newest African

11:44

American star and argued that her

11:46

message was ridiculous because in the United

11:48

States, racism trumps all. Even

11:51

the left recognized she was going places.

11:54

It was around this time that Candace caught

11:56

the eye of political commentator Dave Rubin.

11:59

At the time, Dave was going through a bit of

12:01

a political shift himself. He long

12:03

considered himself a progressive, but

12:05

then started butting heads with his woke comrades

12:08

on the left. As a result, he

12:10

started rebranding himself as a champion

12:12

of free speech, a story he told

12:14

Red Pilled America in twenty twenty.

12:16

I grew up in a Jewish family where

12:19

you know, there's an old joke that if you have four Jews

12:21

in a room, you have five opinions. That cultural

12:24

Judaism almost like a seinfeldization

12:27

of Judaism, where it's about talking, it's

12:29

about arguing. And this is what Rabbis

12:31

have done for centuries is

12:33

argue over what does this line and the toll

12:36

roman And let's argue it out and figure out

12:38

every which way to view this well.

12:40

I grew up in a family that at every holiday,

12:43

whether it was a religious holiday or Thanksgiving,

12:45

a secular holiday, we would argue

12:48

about everything at a giant table with aunts

12:50

and uncles and cousins and Grandma's off

12:52

on a table that would span into two rooms

12:54

of forty people, and everyone would

12:56

be screaming their opinions and blah blah blah,

12:58

and at the end dessert would be served

13:01

and everybody would just stop. It was

13:03

like, Oh, you think this about abortion, you think this

13:05

about Israel, you think this about taxes,

13:07

but here's dessert. Let it go, and

13:10

then we do it again the next night.

13:13

Prior to twenty sixteen, being gay

13:16

placed Dave firmly outside of the conservative

13:18

tent, but by the time he met Candice

13:21

in September twenty seventeen, a change

13:23

was already firmly underway within the mainstream

13:25

conservative movement.

13:27

But I believe that that gays have every

13:29

right to exist within the conservative movement to

13:31

make their case on why there's

13:33

a conservative case for gay marriage.

13:36

In twenty eleven, conservative publisher

13:38

Andrew Breitbart argued that openly

13:40

gay right wingers should have a place in the

13:42

conservative movement, and he agreed with

13:44

this sentiment, including the future hosts

13:47

of Red Pilled America.

13:48

I'm looking to do everything I can to create

13:50

e pluribus on him in this country. That's

13:52

why I support black conservatives, I support gay

13:54

conservatives. I am a melting pot

13:56

guy.

13:57

The idea initially met with resistance

13:59

by social conservatives, but by twenty

14:01

sixteen, a big push was underway

14:04

to increase the conservative big tent to

14:06

include openly gay personalities,

14:08

and The Daily Wire appeared to lead the

14:10

way in that charge. The burgeoning

14:12

streaming service was one of the first on

14:14

the right to give their seal of approval

14:16

to Dave Rubin.

14:17

Our next guest is here here in studio

14:20

with us.

14:20

Just shot a video for Peger University.

14:23

Dave Rubin of the Ruben Report right is

14:25

here with us and thank you for time

14:28

for Yeah, this is very exciting.

14:30

As a result, Dave became part of a newly

14:32

forming media cartel that consisted

14:35

of The Daily Wire, The Reuben Report, Pegger

14:37

You, and a few others, and in September

14:39

twenty seventeen, Dave Rubin welcomed

14:42

Candae into the fold.

14:43

And joining me today is a YouTuber

14:46

who has done pretty much the

14:48

scariest thing that one person can

14:50

do. She has come out as conservative,

14:54

the scariest of all words. Candice

14:56

Owen's aka Red Pill Black

14:58

Welcome to the Ruben Report.

15:00

Thank you. I'm so happy to be here right now.

15:04

Close watchers of her appearance could see

15:06

this newly forming conservative cartel,

15:08

and Candace was making the rounds amongst this

15:11

circuit.

15:11

You suddenly caught fire and you're

15:13

doing pieces all over the place around the Daily Wire this

15:15

morning.

15:16

I saw you on Jesse Waters.

15:17

Was it this past weekend?

15:18

Right a couple of days ago?

15:19

Who is this Candace person?

15:21

Candace continued to pound home her message.

15:23

Lax needed to give up their victim ideology.

15:26

There was also a natural shutting of

15:28

my friends because I couldn't bear to be around,

15:31

you know, people that were constantly in the state

15:33

of victimhood who didn't want to exchange ideas.

15:36

Her message was particularly useful to this new

15:38

circuit because she provided them a bit of a

15:40

shield. You see, with a black woman calling

15:42

out the black community. It gave this group

15:44

some protection, or at least an argument

15:47

point against accusations of racism.

15:49

As their discussion progressed, it became clear

15:52

that key players within this ring were

15:54

testing Candace out.

15:55

You know, I was just at the Daily Wire earlier

15:57

today and their studio, their office spaces

15:59

grown. It's fast because

16:02

the conservative movement is growing, because people

16:04

are realizing that there's nothing left for them

16:06

on the left. You either want to

16:08

race towards the bottom, because that's what it is, right, It's

16:10

I'm a bigger victim. I'm a bigger victim. I'm a bigger

16:13

victim. I'm a bigger I'm like, what are you guys racing

16:15

again?

16:16

Ken just took the opportunity to praise Kanye

16:18

West, almost as if she had a plan

16:20

in motion.

16:21

People ask me, who are you a fan of? You know, I'm

16:23

only a fan of Kanye West. And the interesting thing

16:25

is popular Kanye quote is that if you're

16:27

a fan of Kanye West, you're not really a fan of Kanye

16:30

West. You're a fan of yourself and you believe that you

16:32

can make it.

16:33

By the end of the interview, it became evident

16:35

to anyone that was paying attention that the conservatives

16:37

were all courting the rising star.

16:40

It was around this time, in the fall of twenty

16:42

seventeen, that one such conservative

16:44

outfit was able to pull.

16:46

Her in here to discuss Director

16:48

of Urban Development at Turning Point USA,

16:50

Candace Owens.

16:52

Launched in twenty twelve. Turning

16:54

Point USA is an American nonprofit

16:56

whose goal is to introduce conservatism to

16:58

high school and college to Led

17:01

by right wing political activist Charlie

17:03

Kirk. The group must have seen something in Candace

17:05

that would appeal to America's youth because

17:08

they decided to harness her energy to

17:10

make a pitch to Black America.

17:15

The main issue is that we keep voting

17:17

Democrat and expecting different results,

17:19

and the second that they get into the White House, they do absolutely

17:22

nothing for African Americans but make

17:24

sure that we remember that we're black so

17:26

they can play the same identity card the next election

17:28

cycle. The Democratic Party brought us slavery,

17:30

they brought us the KKK, they brought us Jim Crow

17:32

Laws.

17:33

Candace began to saturate mainstream

17:36

conservative media, and it got the eye

17:38

of one person on the planet, for which Candace

17:40

called herself a fan. On April twenty

17:42

first, twenty eighteen, Kanye

17:45

West posted on the then Twitter platform.

17:47

I love the way candas soul sphinks.

17:52

It's hard to exaggerate the magnitude

17:54

of this endorsement. It was a cultural

17:57

atomic bomb. At

18:00

the time, Kanye West was viewed as one

18:02

of those rare individuals that's globally

18:04

heralded as an artistic genius, whether

18:07

it be his music, or his fashion sense,

18:10

or his natural ability to turn a small act

18:12

into a global controversy.

18:13

George Bush doesn't care about black people.

18:16

Go Taylor, I'm really happy

18:18

for you. I'll let you finish. Brabianta

18:21

had one of the best videos of all.

18:22

Time, controversies and all. In

18:25

the spring of twenty eighteen, Kanye

18:27

West was globally regarded as an

18:29

artist's artist. His endorsement

18:31

of Candas's Mind gave her a

18:33

pop culture legitimacy that few

18:35

and conservative media had ever enjoyed.

18:38

Candace understood the significance of the moment

18:41

and responded to Kanye saying, quote,

18:43

I'm freaking out, Kanye West.

18:46

Please take a meeting with me. I tell

18:48

every single person that everything I have been

18:50

inspired to do was written in your music.

18:53

I am my own biggest fan because

18:55

you made it Okay. I need you to

18:57

help wake up the black community. Right

19:01

wingers immersed in the culture understood

19:03

the power of what was happening the political

19:06

commentator Ben Shapiro was of a

19:08

different mind.

19:09

Because people are famous, we then grant them

19:11

a certain level of credibility on other issues. So

19:13

the latest example of this is Kanye West. So,

19:15

believe it or not, the right is now resonating

19:18

to Kanye West. So now he's tweeting out deep thoughts,

19:20

and the right is so excited. They're so excited because

19:22

Kanye West is tweeting out things that sound kind

19:24

of right wing, like he tweeted out that he supports Candice

19:26

Owns.

19:27

It should come as no surprise that conservative

19:29

commentator Ben Shapiro was not particularly

19:32

a fan of Kanye West or this

19:34

cultural moment. Ben had long

19:36

been critical of hip hop as an art form, but

19:39

adding to that context was that Ben

19:41

is an Orthodox Jew, and the Jewish

19:43

community had a watchful eye on this

19:45

global superstar.

19:47

We ain't Jewish. We don't get family

19:49

that got money like that.

19:54

A few years earlier, during a twenty thirteen

19:56

appearance on the popular hip hop radio

19:58

show The Breakfast Club, Kanye discussed

20:01

the lack of successful black fashion designers

20:03

and billionaires.

20:04

We don't get it like that.

20:05

When I tell you only seven black billionaires,

20:07

look at that marginalization.

20:09

During his explanation for why Blacks

20:11

had relatively no financial power, he

20:14

said something that the Jewish community deemed

20:16

as anti semitic.

20:18

Man, let me tell you something about George

20:20

Bush and.

20:20

Oil money and Obama and no money.

20:23

People want to say Obama can't

20:25

make these moves or he's not executing that's cause

20:27

he ain't got those connections. Black people

20:29

don't have the same level of connections as Jewish

20:31

people. Black people don't have the same connection

20:34

as oil people. You know, we don't know nobody

20:37

that got a nice house. You know, we don't know

20:39

nobody with paper like that we could go to when

20:41

we down.

20:42

To any honest listener, the statement

20:44

was obviously true. It was such a matter

20:46

of fact not a single person in the room

20:48

gasped when he said it. Kanye simply

20:51

acknowledged that the black community wasn't

20:53

as connected in the moneyed circles as the

20:55

white or Jewish communities, something

20:57

any Black American in the music industry

20:59

of the time could co sign. Nevertheless,

21:02

the Anti Defamation League or ADL,

21:04

a Jewish advocacy group, immediately

21:06

claimed Kanye was fueling a classic

21:08

anti Semitic stereotype. A representative

21:11

of the ADL issued a statement stating,

21:13

quote, this.

21:14

Is classic anti semitism. There

21:16

goes again the age old canard

21:19

the Jews are all powerful and control

21:21

the levers of power in the government. As

21:23

a celebrity with a wide following, Kanye

21:25

West should know better. We hope that he

21:27

will take responsibility for his words,

21:30

understand why they are so offensive,

21:32

and apologize to those he has offended.

21:35

It appeared the organization was employing

21:37

a specific tactic stop

21:39

the advance of any and all discussions

21:41

that even remotely hinted at being anti

21:43

Semitic. Well, Jewish outlets

21:46

amplified the ADL statement. MTV

21:49

News eventually picked up the story, forcing

21:51

Kanye to address the controversy.

21:53

I don't know how being told that you have

21:55

money is like an insult.

21:58

That would be like if like some I complimented

22:01

like black guys said all

22:03

black guys got big penises. I

22:05

thought by saying like everyone

22:07

had money, I thought that was a compliment. So it's like an

22:09

ignorant compliment. So maybe I would

22:11

like take that statement away.

22:13

Kanye acquiesced to the ADEL, but

22:15

the initial statement, no doubt conveyed a

22:18

belief that the rapper had about Jewish

22:20

financial power. That's all to

22:22

say that. In April twenty eighteen, when

22:24

Ben Shapiro was skeptical about Kanye

22:26

West embracing Candace's conservative

22:28

beliefs, it's not much of a leap to think

22:31

that Ben's own religious alliances had

22:33

colored his view of the rapper.

22:34

He tweeted out that he supports candae Own's, candae

22:37

Own's nice gallon friendly, Candas's

22:39

she works to Charlie Kirk over a turning point USA, she's

22:42

a black conservative, and Kanye West tweeted

22:44

out that he likes how she thinks that the right responded

22:46

to Kanye West as though it was an earth shattering

22:49

thing and a big celebrity like Kanye West

22:51

was saying things that remotely conservative. But I

22:53

would just warned folks on the right, you

22:55

know, you can be happy that Kanye West said something that

22:58

seems to be conservative, So let's not attend

23:00

to Kanye West as some sort of genius.

23:02

Okay.

23:02

Then Shapiro was skeptical about Kanye's

23:04

embrace of conservative ideas, but

23:07

the rapper was about to double and triple

23:09

down over

23:17

the coming weeks. Kanye went on

23:19

a Maga charm offensive knowing

23:22

that the paparazzi follows him everywhere he goes,

23:25

Kanye went out in public wearing a

23:27

red make America grat Again hat.

23:29

He even tweeted out a picture of a MAGA

23:31

hat with President Trump's signature on it.

23:34

The media and some within the black community

23:36

were outraged. Kanye responded,

23:39

stating, in part on Twitter quote.

23:41

You don't have to agree with Trump, but the

23:43

mob can't make me not love him.

23:45

Trump, one of the savviest cultural

23:47

influencers in political history, quickly

23:50

understood the enormity of the moment and

23:52

took the opportunity to praise Kanye

23:54

West at a Michigan rally.

23:56

African American unemployment has

23:59

reached the low level in

24:01

history, in history,

24:04

and by the way, Deel Farness,

24:07

Kanye West gets it, he gots

24:09

it, he gets

24:11

it.

24:12

Kanye returned Bali releasing a

24:14

single the positioned President Trump as

24:16

an inspiration. Days later,

24:18

Kanye was seen with Candice Owans and

24:21

the two started a kind of a mental

24:23

marriage. They made a joint appearance

24:25

on themed gossip Brag TMZ, and

24:28

the outlet couldn't help but discuss Kanye's

24:30

recent embrace of the MAGA movement.

24:33

I want to.

24:33

Start with what everybody is talking about,

24:36

because I don't think people necessarily

24:38

understand what happened last

24:41

week with the Making America Great Again hat What

24:50

drove you to that? What was your point? What

24:52

are you trying to do with the message you're

24:54

sending.

24:54

People say feel free, but they don't really want

24:57

us to feel free.

24:58

And I felt a freedom.

25:00

And first of all, just doing something

25:03

that everybody tells you not to do, like

25:06

you can't do it for this reason, you can't do this for that

25:08

reason. So and you know, I'm not coming

25:10

up here to justify anything.

25:14

It's you know, you can't tell

25:16

me nothing.

25:16

I made the song, you know what I'm saying, Like, you can't

25:18

tell me what I'm supposed to do.

25:21

And also it's like the

25:24

idea of icons and representations.

25:27

You know, I don't don't.

25:28

I don't subscribe to icons

25:31

you take like the Nazi symbol. If

25:33

you go to India, it's all over

25:35

the place, but it doesn't represent that.

25:36

It represents something different.

25:38

In the Hindu and Buddhist religions of India,

25:40

the swastika represents good fortune

25:43

and well being. It's a positive symbol.

25:45

Kanye was attempting to explain the dichotomy

25:47

that, like the swastika, the maga hat

25:50

can mean different things to different people.

25:52

So for me to wear that hat means

25:55

I want to make America great

25:57

in my own way.

26:06

He'd later bring Candace Owens into the conversation.

26:09

And Candace has facts she's research.

26:11

To Candace Owens has fact she's

26:13

research.

26:14

Her media blitz with Kanye caught the eye

26:16

of the White House, and a few weeks later,

26:18

Candace and Charlie Kirk met with the President.

26:21

By the summer of twenty eighteen, Candace

26:24

was getting so hot that even a skeptical

26:26

Ben Shapiro could no longer ignore her

26:28

rise. He looked to capture some of

26:30

her energy for his burgeoning streaming network,

26:32

The Daily Wire.

26:33

It's really exciting to have you here, Glad you could sueeze

26:36

in the time, because you guys have been busy setting

26:38

the world on fire. I mean, you're in the headlines, and

26:40

you're all over Twitter obviously and on social media.

26:42

Use the candas you've just exploded onto the scene. I think

26:44

probably a year and a half ago, nobody knew who

26:46

you were, and now everybody knows who you

26:48

are, so how's that been, that sort of precipitous rise.

26:50

It's been challenging in some ways.

26:53

I guess Candace was understanding the media

26:56

game at a level few had experienced

26:58

firsthand. And she also so started

27:00

to learn how a single tweet could make

27:02

national news. She decided

27:04

to apply that lesson on Twitter, and when

27:07

she did, she'd get her first taste

27:09

of where the real taboo area resided

27:11

in American politics.

27:15

Welcome back to red pilled America.

27:21

So by the late summer twenty eighteen, Candace

27:23

Owans was learning that with a single tweet

27:26

she could make national news. She

27:28

decided to apply that lesson by running

27:30

an experiment of sorts on the musings

27:32

of a prominent liberal writer. In

27:34

August twenty eighteen, the New York Times

27:37

announced the addition of Sarah Jong,

27:39

a technology writer, to their editorial

27:41

board. With an hour's Jung's old

27:43

anti white tweets began spreading on Twitter.

27:46

In one instance, Jung tweeted.

27:48

White people are booked like

27:50

dogs pissing on fire hydrants hashtag

27:53

council. White people are white people

27:55

genetically predisposed to burn faster

27:57

in the sun.

27:58

Candace saw an opportunity to expose

28:00

the bias on Twitter, so she copied

28:03

the text on the tweet and replaced each instance

28:05

of the word white with the word Jewish.

28:08

She did the same thing with another of Jung's anti

28:10

white tweets, but in that instance replaced

28:12

the word white with black. Almost

28:14

immediately, Twitter gave her a twelve

28:17

hour suspension and demanded she delete

28:19

the tweet that included the Jewish reference.

28:22

Oddly, Twitter allowed Candace's

28:24

anti black tweet to remain. The

28:26

company also allowed Sarah Jung's

28:28

anti white tweets to remain on the platform.

28:30

The lesson was eye opening. It was Candace's

28:33

first lesson that there was a taboo subject

28:35

that could get you canceled. But

28:44

Candace didn't have much time to ponder

28:46

this insight because she was working on

28:48

something bigger, a movement to free

28:50

the black community from what she viewed as a

28:52

mental prison. Candace alluded

28:55

to the new project in an August twenty

28:57

eighteen interview.

28:58

I'm working really hard in launching a project in

29:00

a month that is going to be specifically aimed

29:02

at the black community and getting them engaged.

29:04

And while she was preparing for her big announcement,

29:07

her new brother in arms was doing

29:09

his part to help lead the way.

29:10

Kanye is great to be made and

29:13

then Kanye has been a friend of mine for a long time.

29:16

In mid October twenty eighteen, donning

29:18

a red Make America Great Again hat, Kanye

29:20

West visited President Trump in the Oval

29:22

Office. As a gaggle of reporters

29:24

watched on. The two exchanged

29:27

pleasantries.

29:27

Let me ask you this question.

29:29

You're in the Oval Office.

29:30

Okay, how does.

29:31

It field it in the Oval Office?

29:32

Oh?

29:33

It is good energy in and a good energy

29:35

yet.

29:38

But then Kanye went on a diatribe

29:40

that went against just about every signature

29:42

issue on the Democrat platform. He

29:44

spoke about black on black crime and

29:47

we also as.

29:47

Black people, we have to take a responsibility.

29:49

For what we're doing.

29:50

We killed each other more than

29:53

police officers.

29:54

He talked about the Second Amendment.

29:56

We have the rights of bear arms.

29:58

He spoke about bringing manufacturing back

30:00

to America.

30:01

Or we can create some factories. Now.

30:03

I think it would be cool for them.

30:04

To be Trump factories, because he's a master of

30:06

industry, He's a builder.

30:08

Kanye talked about how Democrats controlled the

30:10

black community.

30:11

The liberal would try to control a black

30:13

person through the concept of racism because

30:15

They know that we are very.

30:16

Proud of emotional people.

30:17

So when I said I like Trump to like someone

30:19

that's liberal, they'll say, oh, but he's racist.

30:22

You think racism could control me.

30:24

But perhaps most frightening to the media

30:26

and DC establishment was that Kanye

30:29

praised President Trump.

30:30

You know, they tried to scare me to not

30:33

wear his hat.

30:33

My own friends with his hat, it

30:36

gives me, it gives me power

30:38

away.

30:38

It was something about when I put this hat on and

30:41

made me feel like Superman.

30:43

But I love this guy right here.

30:44

Let me give this guy I love right here.

30:48

I love this.

30:49

Guy right here.

30:49

True.

30:50

Well, the media didn't know how to handle

30:52

the spectacle. He didn't want to cover it, but

30:54

they had to, so they attempted to portray

30:57

Kanye as crazy.

30:58

A surreal day White House Kanye

31:01

West in the Oval Office Today, unfiltered

31:03

and unapologetic. For more than

31:05

ten minutes, the controversial rapper delivering

31:07

a frenetic, at times jarring monologue.

31:10

Rappers meandering monologue touched on

31:12

more than a dozen topics for presidents,

31:14

seemed almost at a loss for words.

31:16

I'll tell you what, that was a pretty ross.

31:20

About two weeks later, in late October, twenty

31:22

eighteen, Candae introduced her movement

31:24

to America with an assist by Kanye

31:27

West.

31:27

Today in this room, I'm so excited because

31:29

we are going to launch in front of the world a movement,

31:32

a movement that will forever be remembered as

31:34

a piece of American history, a

31:37

movement called Blexit. The

31:39

Black Exit, the

31:43

Black exits from permanent

31:45

victimhood, the Black exit from the false

31:48

idea that we are somehow separate from the rest

31:50

of America. The Blexit movement will

31:52

spend twenty nineteen holding

31:54

rallies in every major city in America

31:56

that the Democrats have destroyed. Blexit

31:58

is a renaissance, and I'm blocked to say that

32:01

this logo, these colors

32:04

were created by my dear friend

32:06

and fellow superhero, Kanye West, who

32:10

has taken one of the boldest

32:12

steps in America to open a conversation

32:15

that we have needed to have.

32:24

The announcement immediately grabbed the attention

32:27

of conservative media.

32:28

I have to talk about this walk away

32:30

movement that went. The walk Away March happened

32:32

over the weekend.

32:33

Daily Wires Andrew Claven praised Candace's

32:36

efforts.

32:36

And kandas Owns was also there with what she

32:39

is calling hilariously Blexit, which

32:41

is the black exit from the

32:43

Democrat Party. And it was really moving.

32:45

I mean, thousands of people showed up for the march,

32:47

but also to see the young

32:50

black political leaders who showed up

32:52

for meeting personal meeting with President Trump

32:54

and were so thrilled to see him and were so pro

32:56

American.

32:57

Fox News also jumped on the bandwagon.

33:00

So explain for us what blecks it is

33:02

and how you came up with the idea.

33:04

You were watching a television and.

33:05

I came up with it actually backstage at Sea Path.

33:08

I got slammed out of hearing Trump's speak

33:10

because I was too late to go to the doors, and I was shoved

33:12

into this tiny little room with Nigel Farage

33:14

and we were watching the president speak. I

33:16

looked up and I said, oh, that's the guy who did

33:18

the Brexit thing. And I said, we really need a

33:21

Blexit in America.

33:23

And there it was.

33:24

The idea was watched.

33:25

The one two punch of Kanye and Candice

33:27

was a monumental moment for the conservative

33:29

movement. One of the biggest artistic

33:32

stars on the planet teamed up with a rising

33:34

black conservative woman to deliver a message

33:37

that Democrats had been censoring for decades.

33:40

It was obvious that these two were uncontrollable.

33:49

Perhaps that was why the conservative

33:52

gatekeepers were reluctant to let them

33:54

in. But

33:56

it didn't matter, because they smashed through

33:58

the door. Efforts were moving

34:01

the needle in unprecedented ways, and

34:03

that's why this Blexit movement had

34:05

to be stopped or at least regulated.

34:09

Inter Media Matters, a far left

34:11

nonprofit organization that is dedicated

34:13

to taking down Conservatives. A

34:15

writer from that organization took a snippet

34:18

of a Candace owned statement and used

34:20

it to paint the Blexit founder as a Hitler

34:23

sympathizer. At a late twenty

34:25

eighteen event in London, Candace was asked

34:27

why so many people appeared to be afraid

34:29

of the word nationalism.

34:31

I actually don't have any problems at all with

34:33

the word nationalism. I think that the definition gets

34:35

poisoned by laitist that actually

34:37

want globalism. Globalism is what I don't

34:39

want. So when you think about whenever we say nationalism,

34:42

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

34:44

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

34:46

But if Hitler just wanted to make Germany
