The Reporters at TMZ are Absolute Scumbags For This | Ep. 24

Happy Thursday, everyone, and I am actually having a very happy Thursday, because unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that we premiered The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, my documentary exploring the Black Lives Matter movement, and it couldn't have gone off more perfectly. I'm just so grateful for all of you that tuned in live, and for those of you that I know will watch when you can. I'd like to start this episode, actually, with a quote of the day, a quote that was featured in my documentary. That quote is, The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty, and to make the guilty innocent. And that's power, because they control the minds of the masses. It was Malcolm X that said that, and I want to lean into that idea on today's episode. Plus, I would like to respond to an article that ran in TMZ this morning, which has my blood absolutely boiling. All that and more today on Candace Owens. So the premiere went off without a hitch. It was absolutely amazing. It was great to have all of my friends be a part of it. We had a lot of warriors, cultural warriors, as I would say, that attended. We had Britney Aldean, as you know. She notoriously stood up to the trans agenda, and caught a lot of heat within country music. That is the wife of Jason Aldean. He also attended I think my favorite part of the evening was getting Kid Rock and Kanye West talking outside of the venue. They just had a total vibe about themselves. Everyone was in amazing spirits. We also had the entertainer Ray J there. Just a ton of people that are support, more importantly, my family. And I just want to express, and I'm going to give you guys the speech that I gave on stage. I just want to express my gratitude that I continually have an audience of people who listen to and support me, and who respond to me, who give me good feedback, who allow me to grow, who understand this most important mission for the future, a future which we need to determine for the sake of our children, my children. And it's the reason that I fight. I had an amazing team around me last night, family around me. And I guess I just want to give you guys that behind-the-scenes listen to what I said when I entered the stage. Take a listen. Thank you so much. I'm honored to be here. I am honored to be able to speak out and eulogize the Black Lives Matter movement, the life and the death of an organization that tore this country apart. What can we say about Black Lives Matter? Well, the first thing that I would say is that we all know that it has been a scam. It has been a scam that has essentially operated with a figurative gun to every single American's head. It is a scam that finds its basis in stupidity. People posting black squares is my favorite moment, I think, from the Black Lives Matter movement, demanding that every single person post a black square to prove that they weren't racist. This documentary was one of the most important things for me to make. And there's a ton of people in this room that I need to thank for this moment and bringing this to the public. But it was important for me to make because it is really the story of the media. It was Malcolm X that warned us of the media's power, how it can make friends your enemies and enemies your friends, how it can tell you to hate someone overnight. And we essentially get in line. The media truly is the most powerful entity on earth, and there was no greater example of that in my lifetime than the George Floyd story. We decided to name it the greatest lie ever sold because what the media is in the business of is selling lies, selling lies to people and their households and getting people to hate one another. This story was personal to me because when I went out into the public sphere and I interjected just a little bit of truth, which you guys are going to see, I was castigated not only by the media but by my own black peers. I was told that I wasn't allowed to say the truth about who and what George Floyd was because the victim narrative felt too good and people had become so comfortable in being the victim and being treated like the victim. I believe honestly that what we are seeing in America is an entire group of people that are being trained to race to the bottom. People are fighting to be oppressed. People want to be able to jump on board and accuse one another of oppressing constantly. What I was talking to about with my friend Ye is that we are very quickly arriving in a trauma economy where people want to constantly pretend to be traumatized by various instances and what it's ultimately doing is it's weakening all of us. It's weakening all of our relationships with one another and I think the greatest thing is that it's weakening our relationship with God. We exist together as one nation under God, right? It's important to say under God, not beside God, not on top of God, not above God, but under God and what this culture has become largely has been an atheist culture and I can talk to you about how they did it to black America and it's important to understand the story of black America because if black America was the experiment in understanding how you could sell trauma to a group of people, then right now they are running that experiment on all human beings across the globe, focusing on black America first and seeing what happens to a group of individuals that buys the victim narrative, that believes that they can be nothing else but oppressed. They never get ahead in their lives, they never are at the top of companies and they are consistently told that it's because of racism and not because they have no belief in themselves. I want to obviously allow you guys to watch documentaries so I don't want to say too much other than to first and foremost thank God. I had the most liberal route to conservatism and I grew up in an incredibly religious household and I resented that when I became a teenager and throughout my college years. I resented that and I became a more secular individual, convinced that atheism was the path for me, but I now realize that by destroying that pillar of faith in American society, every other ill has followed. When we talk about why it is that we have so many black Americans that can't read and so many black Americans that can't get ahead, it's because after they destroyed the God pillar, they went after families. It is why the topic of broken families is not a joke. It is not a joke. People will tell you the incarceration rates that face black men, but they won't communicate to you how many of those black men grew up without a father in a home. The denigration of men that we are seeing in society with movements like Me Too, with movements like Time's Up, fraudulent movements that are actually around just to disempower manhood and to make manhood obsolete. Let me tell you, there is no country and there is no household within a country that can survive without strong men. We need men. But the radicalized feminist movement is teaching us the exact opposite. It is teaching us that women can do it all by themselves and that to aspire to family and to aspire to children and to aspire to being a CEO, as women are in their households, is something that should be looked down upon. It is because they destroyed family and it's because black America has a 74% single motherhood rate that we are seeing these individuals turn to culture naturally because the government knows that if there's not a mom and a dad sitting around the dinner table, then those kids are going to pursue maternity and paternity elsewhere. That elsewhere tends to be the streets. That elsewhere tends to be when they put on their headphones and they listen to hip-hop music and suddenly they are emulating the people that they see on their screens and on TV shows, aspiring to that lifestyle and not aspiring to something better. The last pillar beyond faith and beyond family that we have to talk about is the education system, which is systematically teaching children to be dumb and to be emotional so that they can use narratives like the Black Lives Matter narratives to inspire them to go outside and to act like fools. And that obviously is a pillar that many people in this room have been fighting. And it is the ultimate fight because what we are fighting for is for our children to know the truth and you understand that, of course, in this room we represent counterculture. We did this countercultural thing by talking about God and talking about families for whatever reason that is against the stream, the main stream, if you will, media. But the most important thing is to make sure that we fight for the future of our children. They cannot survive in this world. That's really it. Beyond that, I thanked my incredible team, which made this documentary possible. I mean, I just can't express to you enough how grateful I am. And truly, that's all I have to say about that. Okay, before we continue, I want to take a quick pause to talk to you about the app Halo. You all know that my faith is super important to me. Our relationship with God is how I find my strength and peace in this crazy world. And with all of the insane anti-religious ideologies that are being pushed by the left on a daily basis, it can be hard to tune out the noise and remember what we know is good and true, which is why I love Halo. Halo is the number one Christian prayer app in the United States and the number one Catholic app in the world. It's rooted in the Catholic tradition, but an amazing resource for any Christian looking to dive deeper into their prayer life. This is perfect for my family because, as most of you know, I am in a mixed-faith household. My husband is a devout Catholic and I am a Protestant. Halo has prayers and meditations to guide you throughout your entire day, morning to night. Some of the most popular prayers include the daily rosary, gospel reading, and daily psalm with Bishop Barron. Plus, there are minute meditations, meditations for sleep, and kids' prayers and meditations. Halo helps me sleep better, lower my anxiety levels, and find peace and calm throughout the day, and I think that it will do the same for you. Try it for three months free at Halo.com slash Candice. That's Halo.com slash Candice. Reclaim your peace and download Halo today. Okay, let's get into some topics du jour. So the theme of today's episode and also of my documentary is the media, the media deceptions, how the media is able to orchestrate a plotline against an individual and make you hate that individual essentially overnight. They just decide what the plotline is going to be and they tell lies, and I want to lean into that by just taking you through a situation that happened last night. So at around 2.51 p.m., just ahead of my documentary premiere event, I received an email from the New York Post, and they said, we're hearing Candice has been making calls on Kanye's behalf. By the way, this email went to the PR team here at The Daily Wire. We're hearing Candice has been making calls on Kanye's behalf and is working for him now as an advisor. She is a part of a team that he is trying to build that will help him launch his presidential campaign for 2024. She has been a key enabler in him pushing his White Lives Matter message. Do you want to comment? I can be reached at blank. Please let me know if there's someone else I should be reaching out to. Thank you. I appreciated actually getting this email because this means that they actually tried to execute some journalism and see whether or not the person that was clearly trying to plant the story was lying, or whether or not there was any veracity to the claims. And I responded forcefully and quickly that this entire thing is complete and utter BS. This morning, I woke up and another iteration of that appeared in TMZ. TMZ ran with this headline, and they only reached out, it turns out, we were trying to figure out who they reached out to. They reached out to an old email address of mine that has not been working since 2018. And yet, despite reaching out to that, they were in full communication with my team. They know who the PR team is at the Daily Wire. They sent a photo to last night's event. So they intentionally did not want me to be able to respond at all to the email. They did not want me to be able to respond, and they instead wanted to write the email to lie to the masses. And I'm going to tell you something right up front, because I'm very furious about this article that TMZ ran. The headline is Kanye West in constant talks with Candace Owens. Friends believe she's influencing him. So let me tell you how TMZ is influenced. I know for a fact, because I've been in the room when this has happened. Don't forget, I've been friends with Kanye for years. I've been around him and Kim when they were married, when nobody cared that me and him were friends, and they weren't trying to pollute our friendship or make it seem like he's having a mental breakdown every time he's around me. Before all of that happened, I've been around in the room when this family, the Kardashians, Kanye, when he was with the Kardashians, can pick up the phone and they can call Harvey Levin, Harvey Levin, I don't know how to say his last name, and they can just call him and talk to him about articles that they want run. This is a PR marketing machine. There is a relationship between TMZ, a direct relationship between TMZ and the Kardashian family. So my spidey senses are a little up because this article is very much written in the vein that Kim Kardashian is a saint and be careful because evil Candace is polluting Kanye's mind. So I'm going to read you just some aspects from this article, which they intentionally did not want me to be able to respond to. They write, turns out Kanye West and Candace Owens didn't just decide to wear their White Lives Matter shirts on a whim. The two have been planning it for weeks. Oh, that's an absolute lie. Just flat out a complete and utter lie. In fact, I posted a photo of me having the shirt stitched live. What is the truth? And if we wanted to reveal the truth, by the way, I think everybody knows by now following the Taylor Swift and Kanye West and Kim Kardashian beef that Kanye keeps a videographer with him almost at all times. And he certainly had a videographer with him at his show. The truth is that I showed up in Paris and I barely made it to a show. He asked me to be there within about a 48 hour window before the show actually was going to take place. So I packed up myself really quickly and I got on a plane and I made it to Paris within hours of his show. Okay, so the idea that this was somehow planned is ridiculous. When I showed up, he had two different shirts that he was thinking that he might want me to wear. One was black and did not say White Lives Matter and so I had a picture on the front. The second one was the shirt that you saw me wearing. He said, which one? Which one do you think you should wear? I said, it's your show. What do you want me to wear? And he picked the White Lives Matter one. Obviously, I know exactly what he's trying to imply. White Lives Matter. It's obvious. Black Lives Matter is a scam. It's tearing the nation apart. White people feel like they have been left out of the conversation and have been treated like there's something wrong with them because of the color of their skin. Okay, we're not defeating racism. We're recreating racism in this country. I have the courage to say that. Kanye has the courage to say that. Kanye has the courage to turn that into an artistic expression. But now, of course, I don't know whoever's planting the story feels to me like a little Kim Kardashian attack. I'm going to be honest with you. I know how this family operates. And they've decided to make it seem like this was all my idea, right? Like as if I could influence Kanye's fashion show. Are you crazy? Did nobody see the episode of the Kardashians early on when he made Kim throw out her entire wardrobe because he didn't want her dressed in these old Herve Leger dresses and wanted her to instead wear updated fashion, which turned her into the fashion icon that people consider her to be today? That was Kanye's doing. He's a visionary. There's no Candace Owens getting into his brain saying, oh, here's what we should do with your show. It's insulting to him as an artist to even pretend that this was my idea. It's so insulting to him. But let me carry on and tell you how I really feel. With some of Kanye's friends, some of Kanye's former friends, right? Because with friends like these who talk to TMZ, who needs enemies? Some of Kanye's former friends telling us she's acting as his chief advisor in his day-to-day life, right? Completely ridiculous. What does that even mean? A chief advisor? What am I advising him to do? Do you actually think that every day I go, here's what I advise you do? You think that I think that I would tell him that he should go on to LeBron James' podcast or how he should operate his fashion Paris show? I don't even understand what the meaning behind that is. And the idea gets even deeper because they make it, they're trying to imply that I'm taking Kanye's money, right? That he's hired me somehow. And it makes me so upset. They go on to say, sources close to Kanye tell us, Candace has been reaching out to people on Kanye's behalf, working to set up calls, meetings, and appearances. So basically, I'm Kanye's PR agent. I have not called a single person on Kanye's behalf. I have not set up a single appearance on Kanye's behalf or a meeting on Kanye's behalf, unless we're talking about his appearance last night at my documentary premiere. And I set up everybody coming there because I sent invites. I sent invites to my friends. I sent invites to my family. I sent invites to my colleagues. And I asked them to attend something that meant something special to me. Totally normal. And yet they're trying to pollute it and make it seem like it's weird. They're basically trying to make it seem as though Kanye is not Kanye. He's just an extension of Candace right now. Again, an insult. It goes on to read, we're told folks who were close to Kanye, and many have distanced themselves after his recent attacks, believe he's in a bad space mentally. And anyone working to persuade him to do anything other than get help doesn't have his best interests at heart. So let me translate that for you. Candace Owens needs to just tell Kanye that he's crazy. Every time they talk, say you're crazy, you're crazy, you're crazy. You need to get mental help. And you should be nowhere, and you should be seen by nobody, and no one should be talking to you. Again, with friends like these, who needs enemies, right? They're upset, basically. They're trying to say, we are trying to put pressure on Candace to tell Kanye to listen and to do what Kim wants, perhaps, right? What Kim wants, perhaps. And in order to do this, we're going to talk to the media, and we're going to paint Candace like she's some kind of monster who's pulling the strings. All untrue. Even better. What's more? Ye showed up to Candace's film premiere, Gasp!, in Nashville Wednesday. Ray J was also in attendance. A reunion, sources told us, was coordinated by Candace Owens to spite Kim Kardashian. Oh, there it is. Kim, poor Kim. Kim is a total victim because how dare two of her exes be at the same event? And the idea that why I have been working on this documentary for close to a year. I worked on this documentary while I was pregnant. I was attacked by the media who were in lockstep lying about the Black Lives Matter narrative, who were allowing these protests to burn down our cities. I have worked to bring this story to the American people for almost a year. But it really all came down to the fact that what I really wanted to do was to make Kim Kardashian angry. How narcissistic and consumed with yourself do you have to be to actually think this is true? The truth of how it all ended up is that I had a separate, I was building a separate relationship with Ray J that had nothing to do with Ye at all. Not at all. Nothing done in spite of Kim. When Ray J, months ago, started saying that the Kim Kardashian sex tape was all orchestrated by Kim Kardashian, like a journalist and like every journalist that reported on the story, we reached out to Ray J's camp. Oh my God, could you imagine actually reaching out to someone's camp and trying to get an answer to a story rather than just running to it? I reached out to Ray J's camp and I said, I'm very interested in covering this because there are major implications here. Major implications, as in, this is a form of prostitution. We're talking about a mother we've all been lied to. That's the implication here, right? We've all been lied to and diluted for decades to believe that Kimmy's a victim, when in fact what she wanted was to be famed and she was willing to sell her body to do it. That is a compelling story for any journalist, especially one who, like me, reports on culture and reports on politics and believes that culture is interpreting the politics, right? We now live in a sex sells economy. I want to often commentary on that by talking to Ray J, asking him to join my show to speak at length about his allegations. This is separate from Kanye. Again, took place months ago, okay? So as I've been coordinating and talking to Ray J's team, trying to get him to come onto this show, I've been open about that fact. I established a relationship and I said, hey, why don't we get to know each other? I'm not trying to harm you. I actually learned that he felt hurt by Kanye. Obviously, he was open about that, about what happened on the Hulu series. And I said, this is something that you guys should try to broker some peace between. There's no reason to have two black men hating each other. It's just, I don't like to see black men fighting, period. If you haven't realized, my entire commentary on black America has been the fracturing of relationships, the fracturing of familial relationships, the inability to resolve conflicts. These are things that harm black America. The headline should have read, this is amazing. They had a entirely peaceful correspondence at the same event. Nobody gave a comment on the red carpet and said, well, Kim this, blah, blah, Kim. Nobody felt that way. Kanye was in great spirits and he was smiling. Ray J was in great spirits and he was smiling. And I felt, this is amazing. I was able to broker peace. Hey, what's up, Kim? Why don't you thank me for doing that? You harmed a relationship between two people and made them think that there was all of this animosity between them. And I said, you know what? There's not. Everybody come together. But no, that's not the narrative here. The narrative is that my entire documentary was really about harming Kim. Well, okay, yeah, that's what I wanted to do. I just wanted to hurt Kim. I just wanted to hurt Kim Kardashian. She's always the victim. She's a victim. I'm a victim of the sex tape. I'm a victim of the Playboy shoot. And now I'm a victim of a Black Lives Matter premiere event. Stop yourself, sweetheart. Going on, our sources say it's unclear if Candace is getting paid by Ye as an advisor. You want to know why it's not clear? Because you didn't ask me. You didn't want it to be clear. It said you're trying to insert a narrative that I'm potentially taking money from Ye. I am not. I have not taken a single dollar from Ye. I haven't taken a single dollar from any of my friends. None of them. I don't ask to be paid to be friends with people. In fact, before the Paris show, no one even knew that Kanye and I had a relationship because I don't speak to the press about these things until the press attempts to create this nasty narrative. One source says, quote, anyone taking money from him is taking advantage of him. Oh, OK. Was that source Chris or was it Kim? Just tell us who called Harvey and said this, right? I am not taking money from Kanye West. I have taken zero dollars from Ye West ever, ever at all that I take any money from him. So this is incredibly insulting. And they say, as far as Candace's involvement in Kanye's life, she's going to run him into the ground. Earlier this week, Candace leaked an old voicemail from Kim to Ray J in which Kim called Whitney, whom Ray J was dating at the time, an old hag. Our Kanye sources say they believe Candace leaked the voice voicemail to show her allegiance to Kanye, especially against Kim. Was there any confusion whether or not I was friends with Kim and Kanye? Why would I have to leak a voicemail, right, to show that I'm friends with Kanye over Kim? Was there actually some confusion out there that I needed to actually do this to show my allegiance? And let me tell you why this is ultra insulting. And I shouldn't even speak on this, but I'm going to because it matters. The truth of the matter is that in covering this, Ye actually asked me to pull back. He said, you know, she's the mother of my children. There was an instance where he said, she's the mother of my children when I did that video. And I said that she's a prostitute. And he said, could you please just go a little easy on her, right? Now, I said, what I said back to him to be completely open is this is what I do for a living. Journalism is what I do for a living. The category, the topics I happen to be Kim because what Ray J is saying is compelling. But as a friend of his, I understand how it is upsetting. And I wanted to be more careful in my language going forward because I can see how that could harm her, right? I can see how that could harm his children rather. I don't really care what she did harmed her children, okay? If Ray J's allegations are true, actually what she did has harmed her children. And maybe if TMZ wanted to do some journalism, they would put some pressure on the Kardashian family to respond to the allegations. I don't see any cease and desist coming out towards Ray J. I don't see anybody say these allegations are false. They sound pretty true then because we know you guys have the press on your side. We know you've got tons of money on your side. So why aren't you slapping down Ray J's hand? I would cover that. I would say, actually, Kim came out and said that Ray J is lying. She had nothing to do with the sex tape, but she hasn't come out and say that yet. So why don't you do your job, TMZ, and ask her about the allegations and stop making it seem like Kanye is a monster who does not care about the mother of his children and who does not care about his children themselves. He cares about all of those things. This is a very, very harmful narrative that speaks, that adds credence to the idea that black families cannot come together. It's something that I hate. I hate seeing families torn apart. And I actually hope, from the bottom of my heart, that Kim and Kanye are able to resolve their differences. I actually hope they get back together. I hope they are able to bring their family back together. Broken families is a bad thing, ultimately. But don't do this. This doesn't make it any better. Don't pretend that because I reported on something that was actually noteworthy that it's somehow Kanye operating me behind the scenes, but also me telling Kanye how to operate in front of the scenes. That's ridiculous. It goes on, finally, to say one of the reasons Kanye's former allies believes Candace is in his ear is because, until recently, he was conciliatory with Kim, seemingly agreeing that she would have the kids around 80% of the time and he would have ongoing involvement in their lives. That, to me, sounds like an intentional media plant that is leading up to some sort of a custody dispute. I have no idea what that's about at all. Actually, it's going to be shocking to you, I don't speak to Ye about Kim because I respect family lines. I really do. And it is not acceptable for any person to be in Kim's ear or to be in Ye's ear saying, well, here's what you need to do, here's what you need to do. No, they need to sit down and they need to be able to resolve these issues as a family. I do respect family. And me covering a compelling story about the Kardashians was not in any attempt a way to disrupt their family at all. It was just a way for me to do what I do on the show every single day, report on cultural topics. So TMZ, you guys are actual scumbags. And I want to say this, it's unclear whether or not the Kardashians have you on their payroll. And we're reaching out to comment, but we haven't heard back yet. Moving on into realizing the absurdity of media and how all they exist to do is tear people apart. The Daily Wire family is being attempted. They're attempting to assassinate the Daily Wire family and tear us apart with this entire Ye West story. Of course, people have asked my opinions on Kanye's tweets, and I stand by my opinions. I do not know what DEF CON 3 means. If you want to know what it means, I do not believe that any person thinks that DEF CON 3 means that, and if they're being honest, they do not believe that Kanye wants all Jews to be killed. I don't know what DEF CON 3 means, and I said we should ask him. Ask him what his tweets meant. And by golly, if the press was honest, they would have reported on the fact that last night, Ye spoke to reporters about those tweets. Somebody asked him directly whether or not he was anti-Semitic, and he answered no. And he said that he had been hurt by a lot of people in his life. But that's not the headlines today, right? Because he was calm, he was smiley last night, and he gave a meaningful response to the idea that he's anti-Semitic. I have said, as a friend, I'm not going to assess these tweets and said, ask him. Ask him what he meant, okay? Because I'm not buying the narrative, and I will not buy the narrative that Kanye wants all Jews dead. I think that's stupid, okay? But there's been pressure for Ben Shapiro to make me say something, right? Ben Shapiro, come get your girl, Candace Owens, and he's getting questions on his show. I'm getting questions on my show. Ben responded on his show and said how he felt about me saying that I do not think that there is any person who is being well-meaning and honest that truly believes that their life is in danger because Kanye West tweeted something that is ultimately incoherent. DEFCON 3 means nothing. If you know what DEFCON 3 means, please do sentence me, by the way, because I will report on it. I will say, oh, I just got the definition of DEFCON 3, and I can confirm that this is what Kanye meant. But here is what Ben said in his own words. Take a listen. Addison says, what are your thoughts about Kanye West? Well, I mean, I've made my thoughts about Kanye West pretty clear. I mean, what he said is anti-Semitic. There's no question about it. I mean, what he said is pure, rote anti-Semitism, whether he is talking about DEFCON 3 to Jewish people, whether he's talking about blacks are the real Jews. I mean, this is all anti-Semitism. I do not think it is possible to defend that as not anti-Semitism, which brings, somebody else I see is asking about Candace's defense of Kanye's anti-Semitic remarks. So let me just say this. Candace and I disagree about a wide variety of topics. One of the features, not the bugs, of Daily Wire Plus is the fact that we openly disagree about all of this stuff. I share my opinions about what I think Candace is saying. She shares her opinions about what she thinks that I'm saying. We battle it out. It's one of the things that you get at Daily Wire Plus is the fact that there is a wide variety of opinions. Listen, on a personal level, I get Candace defending her friend. She's very close with Kanye West. I get it. I don't think that her defense of Kanye is correct or convincing. I think that the real answer to the Kanye West of it is Kanye is a bipolar human being. I mean, he's made this very clear. I talked about this on the show. And bipolar people tend to say extraordinarily bizarre things and ugly things. And again, that doesn't excuse the bizarreness or the ugliness of the actual remarks, which, as I will say once again for the 1,000th time, are in fact anti-Semitic. But there's a difference between somebody cohesively saying what Kanye West said and Kanye West saying things in broken grammar in the midst of what appears to be a bizarre period of his life in which he is presenting Adidas executives with porn in front of their face. And I'm not going to treat that the same as Ilhan Omar saying openly anti-Semitic stuff as an elected congressperson in the United States of America. So when it comes to Candace, I mean, am I still friends with him? Of course, I'm friendly with Candace. Am I friendly with Tucker Carlson? I mean, Tucker cut a segment from his interview with Kanye in which Kanye said a bunch of anti-Semitic stuff. Listen, am I friends with Joe Rogan? Joe Rogan had on Roger Waters the other day. Roger Waters is a ridiculous anti-Semitic jerk. I mean, like, wide varieties of disagreement happen in this space. Bottom line is, when it comes to Kanye's remarks, undoubtedly anti-Semitic remarks. When it comes to Candace's defense of those remarks, I think Candace is dead wrong on what she said while respecting her relationship with Kanye. She knows Kanye better than I do. She knows his motive. Okay, whatever. All of that I'm sure is true, and I will take that for granted. What she said about Kanye, I radically disagree with. I think that she is dead wrong. I think that it is not a, it betrays a lack of understanding about anti-Semitism and the scope of anti-Semitism. But we're allowed to have those disagreements. That's the way this works. Totally measured in that response is exactly how I feel. And what's interesting to see the reaction to this in this made-up Candace Jones versus Ben Shapiro on Ye West is that what people are almost demanding is that Daily Wire become propagandists. They want them to just give a message and for every single person to agree on that message, even if it's not how they actually feel. They want us to be a bunch of hired actors and actresses, which clearly we're not. We're not actors and actresses. The Daily Wire exists to give you a variety of opinions. Ben has given you his. He thinks that Ye is bipolar and he does not actually think that he wants to harm people, but he thinks the comments themselves on their face are anti-Semitic. I have given you my opinion that something that is incoherent can't be anti-Semitism. You cannot say DEFCON 3, which is exactly what I was responding to, that tweet in particular, and I said it was confusing. The tweet, when I saw it, I didn't know what DEFCON 3 was. That is my honest opinion and because I know Ye and I know that I met him through his Jewish best friend and I know that I have sat down with him and Jared and I know that they are friends and I have been actually the majority of his friends that I have met are Jewish. You're just not going to get me to be on this ride or die, Ye West is an anti-Semitic and I'm sorry, I don't care. The media doesn't get to pivot and tell me something and say it enough times that I believe it to be true. I do not believe that. As a friend of this person who knows, who is in his inner circle, I will not believe that he wants all Jewish people to be killed and if you don't believe me, believe him because as I said, he spoke to a reporter last night and that's not going to make the airwaves because now the media is in lockstep trying to create this narrative that all he is is an anti-Semite, that it wasn't a mistake of any type and this is just what it is. He wants all Jewish people to be killed. It's foolish on its face, it's emotional, you have a right to demand that people explain themselves and to clarify their points but you do not have a right to just suddenly say that somebody exists forever as an anti-Semite and that the only way to show that you like Jewish people. In fact, they're trying to now say, I'm anti-Semitic. Shut up, I don't care. I do not care that you think that you are going to tell me and try to poison me to believe things about myself that are not true, okay? Just stop. It's gone far enough. You've made your points. You want Kanye gone. I get it, media, but it's not going to happen on my watch. He's actually a friend of mine and in the spirit of friendship, I wanted to give him the grace to respond by himself. Again, he did that. So, Daily Wire did not hire Candace Owens, in case you were wondering, to be the black-faced Ben Shapiro. They didn't. We have a variety of opinions all the time. In fact, if you remember, just a couple of weeks ago, we all were disagreeing on the topic of pornography. Behind the paywall, these are the things that you get when you become an all-access member of Daily Wire. You can watch these disputes. You will see that a lot of the time, me and Matt Walsh agree on various topics. A lot of the time, Jeremy and Ben agree on a lot of topics. Speaking of which, if you want to see how the media lies, media-ite, which I don't even really know how to say, media-ite.com, ran this headline. It's really incredible. I love this headline. It says, she's wrong, in quotation marks. Daily Wire chief speaks out on Candace Owens defending Kanye's anti-Semitic comments. So they're just, again, trying to give you this idea that everyone at Daily Wire is ruffled by this, when in fact, nobody is. Nobody is. We are not at all ruffled by this. But then when you read the actual quotation of what the Daily Wire chief said, the Daily Wire chief being the CEO, the co-CEO, Jeremy Boring, Jeremy said, I think we've all expressed our disparate views on Kanye's comments pretty thoroughly. I don't begrudge Candace her view, nor do I begrudge her defending her friend. I suspect she is right that he has no hatred of Jewish people in his heart. She would know far better than I. I think she's wrong about the anti-Semitism of the remarks themselves, but I'm not in the business of telling our hosts what to think and say. More's the pity, right? So, yeah, I agree with that. But that, of course, did not seem clickable, and it did not seem like a pile-on to Candace Owens. They ran with the headline, she's wrong, two words out of everything that he said, which was also completely measured. Not going to work, media. So people are considerably outraged, and I'm confused about the outrage, and I'll tell you why in just a moment. But supermodel Heidi Klum and her just-turned-18-year-old daughter Leni are facing backlash for appearing together in a new lingerie ad. The former Victoria's Secret angel and her model daughter stripped to their skivvies for the Italian intimate wear brand Intimissimi, a job they hailed as joyful, but some called it very disturbing. So I'm just going to show you some of these photos, and I'll talk through it if you're on the podcast. But yeah, they're obviously in lingerie, just a bra and underwear, and they're close to each other. Their boobs are touching, their boobs are on top of one another. And it is disturbing. The comments on the video, I'll read just a few. One person wrote, I like to think I'm progressive in these things, but mom and daughter in lingerie in the same video shoot is just a bit ick. Next one says, the photo is weird, and the caption makes it weirder. Weirder, lol. I wouldn't model sexy lingerie with my mom. Sexualizing your daughter the moment they turn legal is weird. So the reason why I'm a bit confused about the outrage is because I'm assuming that people have become somehow desensitized enough to the Kardashian empire. They don't realize that the entire empire is being built on incest between sisters. So I'm now going to show you some photos from Kylie Cosmetics. Kylie Jenner is the youngest female in the Kardashian clan, even though her last name's Jenner. And every one of her posts with her sisters selling lipstick, for whatever reason, is incredibly sexy. So you're looking at these images here. She's almost kissing Kendall in this photo. Their lips are close to each other. There's also some images that I don't want to show because I don't feel comfortable with it. But you can find them very easily. She has her young daughter. I don't know how old Stormi is, two or three years old, in between her legs as she poses seductively. And they're both in a bathing suit. They are in lingerie. I don't know why that's necessary to be in lingerie. For you to sell lipstick and for you to sell bronzer, why do you need to be constantly in lingerie? And this one, to me, is the most disturbing because you have Khloe sitting in between her legs. You have Kylie with her legs open. And Kylie is touching her sister's butt. They're in lingerie. She's holding her sister's butt. And she's leaning in. And Kylie's breasts are on top of Khloe. And they're just looking seductively. What is that? You are selling product through incest. I'm sorry. That's, once again, Candace calling it as it is. I say it's prostitution if you sell your body for money and for fame. And I am saying that this is incest. And for whatever reason, they don't feel that they can sell this product without pretending to create this fantasy in people's head that they have sex for another. I don't think they do have sex for another. But I do think that they know that this fantasy, it's softcore porn. It is softcore pornography meant to make you buy lipstick. So that's what I have to say about that. Moving on to weird Celebrity Land stuff, Vanessa Hudgens. Yeah, you might know her from the Disney Channel. Did you know that she was a witch? Yeah, she is producing an unscripted film entitled Dead Hot, Season of the Witch. The project documents Hudgens' journey in Salem, Massachusetts, along with her best friend, musician Gigi Magritte, as they set out to learn about witchcraft, ghost hunting, and connecting with the spirit world. Both Hudgens and Magritte are self-taught students of witchcraft, who have been experimenting and connecting with the spirit world for much of their lives. After an experience in Northern California, somehow they went awry. They realized they needed to seek out proper mentorship and training. That's when the best friend set out on a pilgrimage to Salem for a master class in witchcraft. And they brought the cameras along to chronicle their journey. Hudgens also previously appeared on the Kelly Clarkson show where she admitted that she likes to talk to demons for fun. Okay. Okay, Vanessa, I guess. Nothing else to do. Why not talk to some demons for fun? It's so dramatic when conservatives say that Hollywood is satanic, but for whatever reason, they're all ghost hunting and witch hunting. Don't forget, Demi Lovato started saying that she speaks to ghosts. She started saying that she feels that aliens don't like the word alien, and she's going on this emotional journey to hunt ghosts and spirits. And now you have Vanessa Hudgens, who's connected with the spirit world. I'll tell you what this is. Hollywood is a culture of atheism, right? And what these celebrities are actually craving is some spiritualism in their life in the form of God. But God forbid, pun intended, that these people actually go to church and actually try to seek what is real in their lives and correct their lives and the paths that they're on. So instead, they're trying to fill that emotional and spiritual void by going on these expeditions and becoming witches and starting to hunt for ghosts. I always say that I feel tremendously sad when I see these stories because you see that a lot of these people like Vanessa and Demi Lovato were raised up in Hollywood throughout their childhood, and they didn't have that structure that they needed from their families to show them what was real. Faith is real. Family is real. It provides the stability that you need when you make the turn from childhood to adulthood, and they don't have that. It's lacking. Substance is what is lacking in their lives. And as always, we pray that they find it. Moving on, a Florida-based plastic surgeon who dubs herself Dr. Titus Deletus, a glib reference to breast removal surgery, has been reported to America's consumer watchdog for using her huge TikTok following to unfairly and deceptively sway teens into having sex change operations. A complaint to the Federal Trade Commission obtained by DailyMail.com says that Dr. Sid Gallagher, who runs Gallagher Plastic Surgery in Miami, talks up the benefits and downplays the risks of sex reassignment surgeries. It accuses the doctor of using catchy videos with pop music backing tracks on social media platforms as a marketing gimmick to attract vulnerable and impressionable minors to everything from breast removals to bottom surgery. So let's take a listen to these abhorrent videos. The most common way we masculinize the torso is with liposuction, and it marries very well with top surgeries. So quite a few of our patients will combine it at the same time. And so what we're doing is usually we're addressing the kind of love handle, muffin top, femme curve areas right here, as you can see in the picture. And this is our before and after. Of course, the reason we have those curves is usually because of the pelvis. However, we can't get rid of any bone, but what we can do usually is get rid of the extra padding that is oftentimes in front of that bone and therefore give the patient more straight up and down appearance. The really cool thing about this surgery is that once the cells are gone from there, the shape will be changed permanently. So even if you were to gain weight, it would look maybe a little bit more like a dad bod and won't go back to the same curves. So typically when we're creating the testicles for transmasculine bottom surgery, we use implants to do it. There's two main types available on the market. There's the saline implants, which I tend not to use because I find patients don't tolerate them as well. And then there's these guys. These are squishy silicone implants. They feel really natural. They're available in different sizes. You decide what your dock, what the right size is for you. And there it is. Hey, Dr. Gallagher, you are a groomer. You're a child groomer, and you should be in prison for mutilating children. If we lived in a sane world, you would be behind bars because you are harming children. And you are a predator online who is hoping that children watch your videos and then sign up. You're mutilating 400 to 500 of them per a year. And it is absolutely despicable. It is unbelievable what TikTok allows. Actually, it is believable because I've been telling you all that if there is one social media app that you need to delete from your children's lives, it is TikTok. It is very obvious that the Chinese are weighing heavily on the trans agenda because if you want to weaken men and women and families, what better way than to mutilate children? They will never, ever, ever grow up to have productive families. You're not going to have strong men when all of them have breast implants and are taking pills to make themselves more effeminate. Men are a threat because they are the preservers of our society. It is the men that we send to war. There will be none left if we allow this dangerous narrative to persist. And truly, that's all I have to say about that. All right, guys. I want to take a second to talk to you about ExpressVPN.
