3:56
part three of our series of episodes
3:58
entitled family feud heard part
4:00
2, stop, and go back and listen from the
4:02
beginning. We're
4:06
looking for the answer to the question, what can we do
4:08
to stop the spread of anti-Semitism by
4:11
telling the story of the epic conflict between
4:13
Candace Owens and the Daily Wire? So
4:15
to pick up where we left off, by the end of
4:17
2018, Candace Owens had risen to a height of
4:21
cultural relevance that few on the right had
4:23
ever enjoyed. She'd struck up
4:25
a friendship with a global superstar, the artist
4:27
then known as Kanye West, and the two
4:29
set out to convince black Americans that they'd
4:31
been used by the Democrat Party for decades.
4:34
Establishment conservatives like Ben Shapiro were
4:37
openly skeptical of their effort, as
4:39
the duo saturated not only right-wing
4:41
media, but pop culture outlets as well.
4:44
To formalize her mission, Candace launched
4:46
Blexit, a movement to inspire the
4:48
exit of African Americans from the
4:51
Democrat Party. The one-two
4:53
punch of Kanye and Candace was inarguably
4:55
a monumental moment for the black community.
4:58
One of the biggest black artists on
5:00
the planet teamed up with a rising
5:02
black conservative woman to deliver a message
5:04
that Democrats had been censoring for decades.
5:06
It was an effort that would undoubtedly
5:08
put them at risk of being ostracized
5:10
from their community, but they did it
5:12
anyway. The efforts were moving
5:14
the needle in unprecedented ways, and
5:17
that's why this Blexit movement had
5:19
to be stopped, or at least
5:21
regulated. In late
5:23
2018, Candace Owens joined Charlie
5:25
Kirk in the United Kingdom to
5:28
launch Turning Point UK, the British
5:30
arm of Kirk's conservative advocacy non-profit.
5:32
At one of their events, an attendee
5:34
expressed a fear of being called a
5:36
nationalist for taking the patriotic stance on
5:39
issues. Candace's response would lead
5:41
to one of her biggest red-hills won.
5:46
Candace Owens, Blexit I
5:50
agree. I actually don't have any
5:52
problems at all with the word nationalism.
5:54
I think that the definition gets poisoned
5:56
by leaders that actually want globalism. Globalism
5:58
is what I don't want. When you think about,
6:01
whenever we say nationalism, the first thing people think about,
6:03
at least in America, is Hitler. You know,
6:05
he was a national socialist. But if
6:07
Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and
6:09
have things run well, okay, fine. The problem
6:11
is that he had dreams outside of Germany.
6:14
He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to
6:16
be German, everybody to be speaking German, everybody
6:18
to look at different ways. That's not, to
6:20
me, that's not nationalism. So I don't really
6:22
have an issue with nationalism. I really don't.
6:24
I think that it's okay. It's important to
6:26
retain your country's identity and to make sure
6:29
that what's happening here which I think is
6:31
incredibly worrisome in terms of just the decrease
6:33
in the birth rate that we're seeing in
6:35
the UK is what you kind of
6:37
want to avoid. So I'm not, I have no problems with nationalism.
6:39
It's globalism that I try to avoid. Some of
6:41
her history may have been a bit off, but
6:44
to any honest observer, the crux of
6:46
her message was true. Hitler's
6:48
Nazi Party was officially called
6:50
the National Socialist German Workers
6:52
Party. So, in Candace's reasoning,
6:54
it was Hitler's association with
6:56
nationalism that gave the term
6:58
a bad rap. When
7:00
she made the statement in late 2018,
7:02
no one gasped in the crowd. In
7:05
fact, there wasn't even one condemnation from
7:07
the audience. The journalists that were in
7:09
attendance didn't write hit pieces. Weeks went
7:11
by with not a single person expressing
7:13
outrage over her comments. Well,
7:17
the simple reference to Hitler in any terms
7:19
that didn't start and end with monster
7:21
was enough to give her opposition the required
7:23
tools for an attack. Enter
7:26
Media Matters. A far-left nonprofit
7:28
organization whose mission is to
7:30
take down conservatives. In
7:33
early February 2019, a writer from
7:35
the organization took a snippet of
7:37
Candace's statement four months earlier and
7:39
used it to suggest the Brexit
7:41
founder was an anti-Semite. It
7:44
was an odd attack. The previous
7:46
year, Candace joins Charlie Kirk in
7:48
Israel to celebrate the opening of the
7:50
US Embassy in Jerusalem. If she
7:52
were an anti-Semite, she wasn't a very good one.
7:55
Well, not long after Media Matters
7:57
published their piece, BuzzFeed stepped in.
8:00
to amplify the hit job. The far
8:02
left outlet mocked Candace, running with the
8:04
headline, turning point has already lost one
8:06
of its star recruits. And
8:11
that's when the chorus of Jewish organizations
8:13
piled on. The Jewish
8:15
advocacy group, the ADL, issued a
8:17
statement as well. Hitler's murders,
8:20
crimes against Jews and others were
8:22
horrific regardless of whether they occurred
8:24
across Europe or in Germany alone.
8:26
Hitler wasn't a globalist, but a
8:28
genocidal dictator. The American Jewish Committee took
8:31
a few jabs as well. No
8:33
Candace Owens, Hitler was actually really
8:35
bad from the beginning. The Jewish
8:37
Journal went with the headline, ADL
8:39
calls out Candace Owens over Hitler
8:41
comments. Forward, a Jewish
8:43
non-profit media outfit claimed that Candace
8:46
said that Hitler would have been
8:48
fine if he stayed in Germany. A
8:50
grossly inaccurate interpretation of her
8:52
comments. The choir of attacks
8:55
was curious. Everyone would
8:57
have expected the far left media
8:59
matters and BuzzFeed to purposefully misinterpret
9:01
Candace's message, but the Jewish organizations
9:03
doing it was puzzling given her
9:06
association. She was speaking
9:08
on behalf of Charlie Kirk's turning
9:10
point USA, which has long been
9:12
considered staunchly pro-Israel. It appeared,
9:14
like with Kanye's compliment a few years
9:16
earlier, that these Jewish groups were attempting
9:18
to put Candace on notice. The
9:21
message being sent appeared to be
9:23
strict adherence to a very specific
9:25
narrative was required. Anything
9:27
that colored outside the lines, even
9:29
if by mistake, was not allowed.
9:35
The reaction from Jewish organizations must have
9:37
been a surprise to Candace, but they
9:39
weren't done. One Jewish
9:42
organization decided to punch below the
9:44
belt. The Simon Wiesenthal
9:46
Center, a Jewish Holocaust remembrance
9:48
organization, chastised the young black
9:51
conservatives, stating, quote, scope
9:53
and depth of Candace Owens lack
9:55
of knowledge of basic history is
9:57
appalling and frightening. Hitler's program.
10:00
to make Germany great was based on
10:02
race and anti-Semitism. It
10:04
was pretty clear. They were suggesting Candace
10:06
Owens was an anti-Semite. The
10:08
striking thing about these attacks was the
10:10
timing. The outrage didn't build
10:13
over days, eventually forcing a statement from
10:15
these organizations. Their condemnation of
10:17
Candace all came within hours of the
10:19
original post. It was almost
10:21
as if it were all orchestrated. While
10:27
the course of pressure forced Candace to put
10:29
out a video clarifying her statement. Just
10:31
to clarify this, because I had about 50
10:33
emails from journalists reaching out asking for clarity,
10:35
I was at an event
10:37
in the UK and a question was asked,
10:40
not about Hitler. I think the person asked,
10:42
how can we as people that believe
10:45
in the sovereignty of our nations avoid
10:47
being called nationalists? And I
10:49
thought the person was sort of implying that nationalism
10:51
is a dirty word, and we see that a
10:53
lot in America, that nationalism is sort of conflated
10:56
with, for some reason, Hitler. Like that's
10:58
the only interpretation or the only understanding
11:00
of the word nationalism that
11:03
people seem to have in America as they instantly think
11:05
of Hitler. And I think that that's really, really wrong
11:07
and that we have to almost correct the
11:09
record on that. As Candace went
11:11
on, she explained that in a time
11:13
when globalism was spreading, strong leaders needed
11:16
to stand up for American sovereignty. She
11:18
expressed disgust with the source that amplified
11:21
the hit job. It's just ridiculous. I
11:23
mean, it's buzz. She actually needed to be doing this
11:25
video. It's so stupid. Before she was done,
11:27
it became obvious that Candace wanted to make it crystal
11:29
clear that she did not support Germany's World
11:31
War II leader in any way. There's
11:34
no excuse or defense ever for
11:37
everything that he did. I mean, obviously,
11:40
we've learned the lesson of what happened
11:42
in Europe with national socialism, and
11:44
it's something that will never come to
11:46
America, like Trump said. That with all
11:48
the attacks, in the end, Candace stood
11:50
by her original statement. I
11:53
stand by my statements, and that is
11:55
that. Publicly,
12:01
Candace was projecting righteous indignation.
12:04
Who wouldn't feel an injustice for wrongly being
12:07
accused of anti-Semitism? But it
12:09
wasn't hard to see that something was
12:11
going on behind her defiant facade. During
12:14
her defense, she was at times
12:16
uncharacteristically frantic. No, I'm
12:18
saying Hitler wasn't a nationalist. And if Hitler,
12:20
all, the only thing that... She'd later
12:23
confess that fear had swept over her.
12:26
The firestorm that I endured, I would
12:28
tell you something personal. I was so
12:30
stressed out by that event that I
12:32
stressed myself into an autoimmune response. Like,
12:34
my body was breaking down because I
12:36
didn't understand what was happening. I'd never
12:38
in my entire life been accused of
12:40
anti-Semitism. And suddenly I was fighting for
12:42
my career. For a simple, generally
12:44
true statement, her career was
12:47
hanging in the balance. I was
12:49
temporarily blacklisted from Fox News for
12:51
having said this sentence, which suddenly, again,
12:53
was pulled out of obscurity. And
12:56
I quite literally was facing a threat that
12:58
everything was going to be over, because how
13:00
dare I say that? I have absolutely no
13:03
right to say that. In
13:06
the midst of the firestorm, Candace says that
13:08
a friend strongly suggested that she visit the
13:10
leaders of one of the Jewish outfits that
13:12
condemned her. And when she did,
13:15
she got the red pill of her life.
13:20
The spring is here, and it's time to
13:22
treat yourself to the licorice guy. You
13:25
guys should know by now that I
13:27
love licorice, and it doesn't get any
13:29
better than the gourmet licorice made by
13:31
the licorice guy. They have a great
13:33
selection of flavors to choose from, like
13:35
red, blue raspberry, black, green apple, just
13:37
to name a few. The freshness of
13:39
the licorice is unlike anything you've ever
13:41
tasted in licorice before. Seriously, if you
13:43
haven't tried licorice from the licorice guy,
13:45
then you ain't living life right. It's
13:47
time to dump that store-bought licorice that's
13:49
hard enough to break your teeth and
13:51
get yourself the soft, fresh stuff from the
13:54
licorice guy. What I also love about the
13:56
licorice guy is that it's an American family-owned
13:58
business. It's made right here. here in
14:00
the beautiful US of A. We are

17:07
back to Red Pilled America. So
17:09
in February 2019, far-left media and
17:12
Jewish groups were suggesting Candace Owens
17:14
was an anti-semite for a statement
17:16
she'd made months earlier. The
17:19
attacks appeared coordinated. In
17:21
the middle of the firestorm, Candace
17:23
says that a friend strongly suggested
17:25
that she visit the leaders of
17:27
one of the Jewish outfits that
17:29
condemned her, the Simon Wiesenthal Center,
17:31
a Holocaust remembrance organization. Candace
17:33
says she took the suggestion and met with
17:35
an old man from the center. And
17:37
there was this very strange meeting that
17:40
occurred. I had to sit in the meeting
17:42
and explain that I didn't
17:45
think Hitler was a great
17:47
person. When she was done with her
17:49
explanation, the two men spoke amongst themselves.
17:51
I want to be clear that I
17:54
didn't understand the meeting because the individuals were speaking
17:56
in Hebrew. My understanding going into it was that
17:58
I was a great person. that once I
18:00
spoke to this individual, things would
18:03
be clarified, and then I could
18:06
just go on living, and my reputation would
18:08
pretty much be restored. And
18:10
by golly, that's kind of what happened. And
18:12
my reputation was restored, or at least I was allowed
18:14
to go on pursuing what I
18:17
wanted to pursue, which was just
18:19
talking about Black Americans and the fracturing
18:21
of the Black and white relationship. The
18:24
meeting with these Jewish elders somehow
18:26
reduced the heat on our controversy, but
18:29
in the months and years that followed, Candace
18:31
says she felt as if she was, in
18:33
effect, under the thumb of an invisible hand
18:35
in conservative media. The threat that Candace could
18:38
be over at any moment for you, don't
18:41
you get out of line again by,
18:43
you know, saying something that you never
18:45
actually said, but don't make
18:47
us have to threaten you again, that I
18:49
still always felt over me because it was
18:51
just a very scary thing to go through. Being
18:59
publicly accused of being hateful, especially
19:01
when accused of being racist, homophobic,
19:03
or anti-Semitic, is an experience few
19:06
have endured. There's a feeling
19:08
of vulnerability. When it happens, most
19:10
look to somehow shield themselves from similar
19:12
attacks in the future. It
19:14
appears Candace took this well-traveled path. Enter
19:17
conservative establishment godfather, Dennis Prager.
19:19
Well, I was born in
19:22
Brooklyn, New York, and
19:24
I was raised in an Orthodox
19:26
Jewish family, so I
19:28
have a very strong grounding in religion,
19:31
and specifically, of course, in the Torah.
19:33
In 2009, political commentator Dennis
19:35
Prager launched PragerU, a story he told
19:37
right here on Red Pilled America back
19:39
in December 2019. Where
19:42
did the idea for PragerU come from? Came
19:45
entirely from my dear friend
19:47
and the producer of my
19:49
radio show, Alan Estrin, in
19:52
the Indian Ocean. I was on
19:54
one of my listener cruises. I've
19:56
been taking listeners for 25 years
19:58
on cruises around. of the world. This
20:01
one was on the Indian Ocean and
20:03
he just said to me, I think
20:06
we should start Prager University. PragerU's
20:09
early funding came from the fracking
20:11
billionaires Dan and Ferris Wilkes. Known
20:14
as the Wilkes Brothers, besides backing PragerU,
20:16
they were heavy donors to Ted Cruz
20:18
in his 2016 presidential
20:20
bid. They also gave the seed
20:22
money for an upstart streaming service called The
20:25
Daily Wire. But more about that later. Shortly
20:29
after her cleansing procedure at the
20:31
Simon Wiesenthal Center, Candice aligned with
20:34
PragerU. On February 28,
20:36
2019, it was announced that Candice
20:38
Owens was starting a podcast with
20:40
the nonprofit organization. Her
20:42
first guest was Roseanne Barr, the
20:44
comedian famous for her late 80s
20:46
sitcom, Roseanne. Hey everybody, welcome to
20:48
the Candice Owens show where you get
20:51
my unfiltered opinions. And
20:53
this one is definitely unfiltered. In
20:55
her debut episode, Candice gave Roseanne Barr
20:57
a platform to explain the scandal behind
20:59
her ouster from a reboot of the
21:01
Roseanne show. Almost a year earlier
21:03
in May 2018, Roseanne was
21:06
fired from the show after suggesting
21:08
President Obama's former senior advisor, Valerie
21:10
Jarrett, looked like a character in
21:12
Planet of the Apes. Jarrett is
21:14
black. I've lost everything. And
21:17
I said to God, I am
21:19
willing to accept
21:21
whatever consequences this brings because I know
21:24
I've done wrong. A month after
21:26
her canceling, Roseanne initiated her apology tour
21:28
by appearing on a podcast with
21:30
one of her close friends, a man
21:32
named Rabbi Schmooley Boteach. You understand why
21:35
this caused a lot of pain. Yes,
21:38
I do. You know, it just makes
21:40
me sick that I did it
21:42
and that it was taken that way. Throughout
21:45
the years, people have turned to Rabbi
21:47
Schmooley to cleanse themselves of racist Singer
21:50
Michael Jackson famously sought his counsel when
21:53
the icon was accused of anti-Semitism. By
21:56
providing Roseanne a platform in March 2019, Candice was
21:58
playing a
22:00
similar role, giving a cleanse to
22:02
the Jewish comedian for her past
22:04
racial transgressions. At the time
22:06
of that tweet, I was in the
22:08
middle of the conversation about the Iranian
22:11
people for three months on Twitter.
22:13
Most of the reason I ever
22:15
went on Twitter was to defend
22:17
Jewish people and our
22:19
way of life and our thinking, and
22:22
also a new way of being in
22:24
the Middle East. Brzein
22:27
went on a long, meandering explanation for why
22:29
she compared Jared to the Planet of the
22:31
Apes, and ultimately apologized
22:33
for the statement. What was
22:35
horrifying about it to me was the way
22:37
that it was purposely mischaracterized, and I
22:39
was not allowed to explain it. I
22:41
was never allowed to say what it
22:44
was actually about and what I meant.
22:47
Candice did her part to explain Roseanne's
22:49
dilemma. Well, of course not. You're a
22:51
conservative. That's not how it works. No.
22:56
Conservatives don't get second chances. Conservatives don't get
22:58
to apologize. Conservatives don't get to explain in
23:00
a fuller form what they were
23:02
talking about. You should know that. Most of
23:04
the rules. Nobody knew that Valerie Jarrett was even
23:07
10% black. Nobody thought she
23:09
was black. They just dug for something and said,
23:11
ha, we've got her. What was
23:13
perhaps most noteworthy was that Candice debuted
23:16
her first talk show on a Jewish-run
23:18
network with the defense of a Jewish
23:20
comedian. Given her experience just
23:22
weeks earlier over her nationalism comments, it
23:24
appeared to be a symbolic offering to
23:27
the Jewish community. In
23:30
the months that followed, Candice went through
23:32
some major developments. Okay, guys, we
23:34
are rolling into another episode of the
23:36
Candice Owen show, and this one is
23:39
a wedding special. No,
23:42
I'm not talking about William and Kate or
23:44
Harry and Meghan. I'm talking about me.
23:47
I am getting married this weekend. In
23:49
August 2019, Candice married a
23:51
man named George Farmer. George was
23:54
an Oxford-educated Brit who got his start running
23:56
a hedge fund with his father. He
23:58
traded in base metals. George would
24:00
eventually get involved in politics, and at
24:02
its launch, he was appointed chairman of
24:04
Turning Point UK. So when
24:07
Candace participated in the launch in late 2018, during her
24:09
infamous nationalism
24:11
comments, her and George crossed paths.
24:14
It was apparently love at first sight, because
24:16
a little over two weeks after they met,
24:18
George Farmer proposed. The two
24:20
would marry at the Trump Winery near
24:23
Charlottesville, Virginia, owned by Donald Trump's son,
24:25
Eric Trump. Kanye did not
24:27
attend. By the time of her wedding,
24:29
the artist had distanced himself from Candace.
24:32
It was rumored that Kanye's in-laws,
24:34
the Kardashians, were behind the distancing.
24:37
Nevertheless, Candace was already a firm
24:39
fixture within the conservative movement. In
24:42
the months that followed her August 2019
24:44
wedding, she spoke on Capitol Hill. You
24:46
know that white supremacy and white nationalism is
24:48
nowhere near, ranks nowhere near the top of
24:50
the issue that are facing black America. And
24:52
the reason that you are bringing them up
24:54
in this room is because it is attempt
24:57
to make the election all about race as
24:59
a demociraptor. Not in my case, Ms. Owens,
25:01
I'm sorry. Please don't cut me off. Please
25:03
do not characterize my motive. Mr. Chairman, it's
25:05
my time. At CPAC 2020, the conservative political
25:08
action conference, she spoke out against the victimhood
25:10
narrative that was plaguing the black community. You
25:12
see, the sense of slavery was not brought
25:14
to this continent by white Europeans, as the
25:17
left would have us imagine. Slavery
25:19
existed everywhere in the world, including here
25:21
since the dawn of humanity. Different
25:24
Native American tribes weren't sitting around
25:26
coomba yaying over a fireplace. They
25:29
were trying to imperialize one another.
25:32
They would enslave their war captives into
25:35
labor. They would sometimes sell their own children.
25:37
They tortured others as a part of their
25:39
religious rights. And depending on which tribe you
25:41
were in, cannibalism was
25:43
even the commonplace. You
26:03
The conservative establishment loved what she
26:05
was doing. Aside from shielding
26:07
them from accusations of racism, she was
26:09
also the perfect weapon to deliver a
26:12
tough love message to the black community.
26:15
Her life appeared to be calming down a bit, but
26:17
she couldn't have known that in just
26:19
a few months, a chance arrest in
26:21
Minneapolis would again put her in hot
26:23
water with her own community. Mother's

30:00
By May 2020, in less than
30:02
three years since her coming out video, Candace
30:04
Owens had risen to the upper echelons of
30:06
the political scene. The conservative establishment
30:09
loved what she was doing. She'd become
30:11
the perfect weapon to deliver a tough
30:13
love message to the Black community and
30:16
had grown accustomed to fielding the ire
30:18
of her brothers and sisters. But
30:21
a chance of rest in Minneapolis would raise
30:23
the anger directed at her to an entirely
30:25
new level. Please,
30:27
please, please, please. On
30:31
May 25, 2020,
30:34
a man named George Floyd Jr. died
30:36
while being arrested by Minneapolis police. Get
30:38
in the car. I can't move. I've been waiting
30:40
the whole time, man. Get
30:43
up and get in the car. Mama. Get up and get
30:45
in the car. I can't.
30:47
In Minneapolis tonight, tensions are high as
30:49
four police officers have been fired after
30:51
a man was pinned to the ground
30:53
and died. The incident was caught on
30:55
camera. The city of Minneapolis immediately
30:57
erupted in violence. Overnight,
31:00
Minneapolis on fire. Black
31:04
lives! Black lives! Where's
31:07
the fire? It does appear that that fire is
31:09
the police station. Chaos filled Minneapolis
31:12
streets for a fourth night. In the
31:14
days it followed, the destruction quickly spread
31:16
to big cities all across America. I
31:19
have nowhere to go now. This
31:21
country is on fire. We
31:24
are facing an insurrection by people
31:26
that we don't quite understand who
31:28
they are. But by all indications,
31:30
they are violent leftist thugs. Like
31:32
clockwork, politicians elbowed one another out of
31:34
the way to virtue signal and support
31:37
of George Floyd, including the future speaker
31:39
of the house, Mike Johnson. The facts
31:41
show that Mr. George Floyd appears to
31:43
have been the victim of murder. And
31:46
I personally don't believe that a close review of
31:48
the video can lead anyone to
31:50
any other conclusion. But a few
31:52
on the right had actually watched this
31:55
movie before and began asking questions. Candace
31:57
was one of them. About
31:59
a week... After riots erupted, Candace
32:01
decided to take to Facebook and burnt the
32:04
red pin in the community. I
32:12
do not support George Floyd and the media
32:14
depiction of him as a martyr. It
32:18
was something that I wanted to say early on, but
32:20
there were so many emotions and
32:22
so much pressure for me to
32:24
go with a popular opinion about
32:27
who George Floyd was and
32:29
sometimes it can be difficult when there are just so many
32:31
external pressures to say what you believe and this was an
32:33
instance where I felt like my silence
32:35
would have been better in the beginning.
32:37
She initially felt that being silent as
32:39
the riots erupted was the wise move
32:42
and people must remember the cultural landscape by June
32:44
3rd, 2020. The
32:47
country was literally on fire
32:49
with violent riots breaking out
32:51
in Minneapolis, New York City,
32:53
Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Georgia,
32:55
practically every urban enclave in
32:57
America. The social contract had been
32:59
ripped to shreds. Blacks were
33:01
furious. They saw with their own
33:04
eyes the video of Minneapolis police
33:06
officer Derek Chauvin placing his knee on the
33:08
back of the neck of George Floyd and
33:10
it became the symbol of systemic racism
33:12
in law enforcement. The entire mainstream media
33:14
were raising George Floyd up as a martyr.
33:17
Almost no one dared to claim otherwise.
33:22
The social pressure for public figures to
33:24
buy into that narrative was absolutely enormous
33:27
but in the height of this outrage Candace
33:29
began digging into George Floyd's past. She
33:32
initially stayed back waiting for more details to
33:35
come in but when they did staying
33:37
quiet was no longer an option.
33:39
I recently came across something that was an idea that
33:42
was planted into my head
33:44
by Shelby Steele and it's been something that I cannot forget.
33:49
Shelby Steele is a black conservative author.
33:51
Shelby Steele said that she was a black conservative author.
33:55
She was a black conservative author. She was a
33:57
black conservative author. that
34:00
the black community is unique from other
34:02
communities, our culture is unique from other
34:05
communities because we are the only community
34:07
that caters to the bottom denominator of
34:09
our society. Now let me explain what
34:11
that means. It means to say that
34:14
not every black American is a criminal,
34:16
not every black American is committing crimes,
34:18
but we are unique in that we
34:20
are the only people that fight and
34:23
scream and demand support and justice for
34:25
the people in our community that are
34:27
up to no good. You would be
34:29
hard pressed to find a Jewish person
34:31
who has spent five stints in prison
34:33
who commits a crime and dies while
34:35
committing a crime and that
34:37
the Jewish people champion and demand justice for.
34:40
You will be hard pressed to find this
34:42
in white America, you will be hard pressed
34:44
to find this even in Latino America. If
34:46
there is a person that is spent multiple
34:48
times in prison, you are not going to
34:50
see a bunch of Latinos
34:53
coming out demanding justice for
34:55
this person even if, and I want to
34:57
be very clear, what I am saying is
34:59
not any defense for Derek Chauvin. She
35:02
believed the Floyd family should seek justice
35:04
in his case, but after looking at
35:06
his history, Candice couldn't believe that he
35:08
was being portrayed as a hero. She
35:11
went on to explain her research into
35:13
George Floyd and what she found was
35:15
not being widely reported by the media.
35:17
George Floyd is being uplifted as an
35:19
amazing human being. First and foremost, George
35:21
Floyd at the time of his arrest
35:23
was high on fentanyl and he was
35:25
high on methamphetamine. This came back in
35:27
both of his autopsy reports. If
35:29
you pursued the 911 transcript, you can
35:31
see the person describing somebody who is
35:33
out of their mind high, which is
35:36
what made the person fearful because he
35:38
tried to use a bill that I
35:40
guess was a fake bill to purchase
35:42
something. George Floyd had spent time in
35:44
prison for theft with a firearm, three
35:46
stints in prison for cocaine offenses, and
35:48
he'd even robbed a mother and her
35:50
child at gunpoint, pointing a gun at
35:52
the mother's abdomen. A neighbor
35:54
was astute enough to get the license plate
35:56
of the getaway car and George Floyd was
35:59
eventually arrested. He was sentenced to
36:01
five years in prison for that horrific crime.
36:04
This was all news to most people and
36:06
Candace was delivering it at a highly volatile
36:08
time. A time when the
36:10
Black community was lifting George Floyd up
36:12
as practically Jesus on the cross. And
36:15
it was at this precise moment, when the
36:17
Black community was out for blood for his
36:19
death, that Candace delivered the tough love message
36:21
that made her such a target within her
36:24
own community. Let me tell you, 6% of
36:27
the population, right, Black men, 6% of
36:30
the population, has house
36:32
for 44% of all murders
36:35
in this country, according to 2018 statistics. That
36:38
is what you call a gap. And yet white
36:41
people, white people who represent 60% of the
36:43
population, represent 50%
36:45
of all the murders, right? That makes
36:47
no sense. In a community where we
36:49
are extreme minorities, we commit 50%
36:51
of all violent offenses, even
36:54
we split. Her rant drew the
36:57
attention of conservative media, including Glenn
36:59
Beck. Is this really the guy
37:01
that Black America, I
37:03
mean, they were very careful to
37:05
pick Rosa Parks. Is
37:08
this the symbol of
37:10
Black America today? I'm going to
37:12
say yes, it is a symbol of Black America today,
37:14
and it's a symbol of a broken culture
37:17
in Black America today, and that people are not
37:19
willing to talk about again, how
37:21
we contribute to our own demise. Conservative
37:23
media loved her message, but the Black
37:26
community felt as if she were stabbing
37:28
them in the back, including stand-up icon,
37:30
Dave Chappelle. Why would anyone care
37:34
with their favorite comedian things after
37:37
they saw a police officer kneel on a
37:39
man's neck for eight minutes and
37:41
46 seconds? I can't get
37:43
that number out of my head because
37:45
it was my time of birth or
37:47
my birth certificate. I was born at
37:49
846 in the morning, and they killed
37:51
us in eight minutes
37:54
and 46 seconds. I watch
37:56
everything everybody says. I can't
37:58
even try to convince white
38:00
America don't worry about it he's
38:02
a criminal anyway. I
38:05
don't know if this is a bad idea, but I don't
38:07
care if this is a bad idea. I don't care if he
38:10
personally takes care of someone
38:12
and her stinky... I
38:16
don't know if it stinks but I imagine it does.
38:19
By constantly bringing up uncomfortable truth
38:21
to the black community, Candace was
38:23
sacrificing in a way that few
38:25
in the conservative movement could match.
38:28
The constant attacks by her own people
38:30
appeared to earn the respect of the
38:32
growing streaming network The Daily Wire. And
38:35
in September 2020, she appeared
38:37
on The Ben Shapiro Show. Candace Owens, thanks so
38:39
much for joining the show. Thanks for having me.
38:41
The show opened with then breaking some personal
38:44
news. You told me this, I'm not giving
38:46
anything away. You're pregnant? Yeah. How
38:49
do you feel about that? I'm excited. I mean, I'm
38:51
really excited for that next chapter of my life. And
38:53
I would say in terms of my political
38:55
life, the stakes feel a bit higher in
38:57
terms of where America is going to go.
38:59
But the show eventually got to an area
39:01
of contention between the two conservative commentators,
39:04
that being the cultural moment that Ben
39:07
had initially marginalized. So I need
39:09
to ask you about the Kanye issue. So famously
39:11
he had a little bit of a tete-a-tete on
39:13
Twitter when Kanye came out and
39:15
he was supporting President Trump and I said live by
39:17
the Kanye, die by the Kanye, which made me think,
39:19
you know, Kanye takes a lot of positions
39:21
on a lot of different issues. And you
39:23
got a little bit upset about that, it seemed. Yeah. I
39:26
think what I was upset with was that so many people
39:28
were just dismissing him and calling him crazy. And
39:31
it's just not fair. I mean, I think I
39:33
like Kanye. Kanye is a friend and Kanye
39:36
is a person that is a billionaire. I
39:38
would not take someone, you know, to
39:40
be like, he's richer than both you and I sitting here
39:42
combined, right? I'm assuming, I don't know, maybe you're a billionaire.
39:45
And people keep taking him lightly and it's been his
39:47
entire life. It's
39:55
addressed the elephant in the room. Unlike
39:57
other conservatives in media, her and Kanye
39:59
had taken it. an enormous risk in
40:01
delivering a tough love message to black
40:03
Americans. No mainstream gay, Muslim,
40:05
white, Asian, Latino or Jewish conservatives
40:07
had criticized their own community in
40:10
the way that Candace and Kanye
40:12
had with the black community. Maybe
40:14
I was emotional in my response because it
40:16
is so hard. You try being a black
40:19
conservative, a Miss Black Lives Matter, right, and
40:21
go out and say I support the president
40:23
and you will see how you get treated,
40:25
right? You with these, you get
40:27
called racist. And with us, it's
40:30
ferocious. They want you gone. I mean, they
40:32
will accuse you of anything. They want you gone. You get
40:34
death threats. You get all these horrible things. And here's a
40:36
guy that's just saying, I'm no longer going to lie about
40:38
who I support. Not if
40:40
you don't support him, you're a racist. And I
40:42
thought this is productive. It's a good thing for
40:45
someone to say, I'm comfortable saying that I'm black
40:47
and I'm a conservative in the cultural realm, especially
40:49
because we know most black Americans have their eyes
40:51
fixed culturally, that it just sent a huge signal
40:54
that it's okay to break away from the from
40:56
the hive mentality. So that was
40:58
the nuance. He wasn't doing anything that I found to
41:00
be harmful. After a very public
41:02
critique of Kanye, Ben Shapiro had come to
41:04
Candace's way of thinking on the issue. I
41:07
actually agree with that. I think that it's actually a very important
41:09
thing that Kanye West put on a MAGA hat and basically said,
41:11
you know what, it's fine. I'm allowed to wear a MAGA hat.
41:14
As someone who's been called the Jewish
41:16
Nazi for being a Republican, I certainly
41:18
understand the the perspective of being inside
41:20
a minority group where it is considered
41:22
verboten to be on a different side
41:24
of the political aisle. So I'm very
41:27
glad that happened. The two appeared
41:29
to have buried the hatchet. And it
41:31
should be noted that on paper, Ben and
41:33
Candace were similar in at least one way.
41:36
Candace was a black conservative in a community that
41:38
was over 90% liberal. Ben
41:41
was a Jewish conservative in a community that
41:43
by some estimates, though almost 80% for
41:46
Democrats. They'd become important
41:48
weapons within conservative politics, but
41:50
for different reasons. As
41:52
Candace and Ben's discussion continued, it looked as
41:55
if her appearance on The Ben Shapiro Show
41:57
was a bit of a test run to
41:59
see how the These two egos would
42:01
mesh, and apparently, Candace passed
42:03
the test. On
42:11
election night 2020, the Daily Wire
42:13
Co-founder, Jeremy Boring, broke some news. And
42:18
I think what you're doing is so important, and the only
42:20
thing that would make it cooler is if you did it
42:22
with us. Me? A woman joining the Daily Wire team? Yeah,
42:26
wait a minute. Yeah, I was second to one. No, you're right. I
42:29
said if any woman were going to be invited, it's you. Come be
42:31
Daily Wire. I think
42:33
100%. I would
42:35
love to join the Daily Wire. I think there is a
42:37
lot of stuff we could do together. Should
42:40
we make it official? On election night
42:42
America, am I joining the Daily Wire?
42:44
Is it real? Spend Shapiro to you first. Absafruitly.
42:49
And Andrew Klavan, the man that would later claim
42:52
to have played a role in discovering Candace, co-signed
42:54
the offer. Andrew. Andrew.
42:59
Andrew. Please come over.
43:01
Save us. Save us. Oh my
43:03
gosh. Well then, it is a done deal
43:05
on election night. Hey, all right. It's slightly bigger
43:07
than the results that come in. Candace
43:09
Owens is coming to Nashville, baby.
43:11
All right. Candace Owens was set
43:13
to join the burgeoning streaming service.
43:15
It was a big move for
43:18
everyone involved. But Candace appeared to
43:20
have no idea what she was stepping into,
43:23
because the Daily Wire had a
43:25
very specific agenda that was quietly
43:27
in operation. One that was
43:29
at odds with everything that she represented.
43:31
Before it was all over, Candace would
43:34
find out that asking tough questions in
43:36
search for the truth was not really
43:38
in the Daily Wire's charter. The company
43:40
that claimed to be against cancel culture
43:42
actually had its eye on being the
43:44
ones with the power to cancel. Coming
43:48
up on Redfield America. Candace
43:50
has expressed opinions that I disagree
43:52
with, opinions that I maybe even
43:54
very passionately disagree with in some
43:56
cases. But that's well within her
43:58
right as an opinion. host at The
