The Candace Owens Show: Paul Joseph Watson | Candace Owens Show

back on the right path society would correct yourself and we won't be having these debates like that's my operating theory right now okay okay guys we are rolling in to another episode of the Candis Owens show and today I would like to talk about social media censorship sort of the rise of social media censorship the operating theory is that they are censoring people that are white supremacists and of course who would disagree with that if you're a white supremacist I don't want to see you on the Internet if you're perpetuating white supremacy it probably is a good thing not to allow you on to their platforms but is that the truth I don't think it is because I've certainly been suspended although my accounts were restored and I don't think I fit the bill for a white supremacist here talk to me talk with me about all of this is mr. Paul Joseph Watson welcome to the Kennesaw and chefs for having me on Candace good to be here it's good to have you here I didn't think that we would ever get you come intro yeah fish out of water right now we were gonna get you a map to make you feel more comfortable and at home talking to me yeah but we decided not to you can do it right exactly so you recently got defended by the President of the United States came out it was a roaring defense of Paul Joseph Watson when he was banned from Facebook and Instagram it was actually bizarrely you knew you were going to get banned because somehow the media already needed to be banned which means that there's Facebook has speaking to the media before they even take actions and they banned you now I will tell you I followed you on Instagram you kind of just post selfies they're all selfies now yeah it's not really anything else there's very dangerous my selfies apparently right good selfies as well as I'm more pissed off about that than Facebook right so there was really no political resolved with a snaps or anything now exactly exactly there was really no political thought on your Instagram page there's a bunch of selfies which is what all the girls are doing and Instagram is why you have so many followers maybe a cute kid a few kissy faces and whoop banned from Instagram how did that come about what was the reason that they gave you the reason that they eventually was that I was banned from Facebook and by proxy Instagram same company obviously because I had interviewed Tommy Robinson on my YouTube channel three years previously so it was nothing to do with anything I posted I you know everyone's been suspended for a week on Facebook over the course of the past ten years but no direct violations of any of their policies they came out in the media last week and said it was because I interviewed Tommy Robinson so this is behavior on a completely different platform simply because he appeared on my channel now Tommy Robinson has done interviews with BBC Sky News ITN of their Facebook page is going to be wiped out now so it's this Orwellian dystopian idea that simply appearing sometimes even in a photograph people have had Facebook posts removed for simply Tommy Robinson appearing in a photograph with them the idea that Mark Zuckerberg and his employees are monitoring you're off platform behavior and then they can use guilt by association to designate this person as an extremist and then by proxy you're an expert extremist so that's how it happens you can catch it pretty much as what they're saying so if I have a dialog of someone and I and I fail let's say I grew of somebody on anything it may be maybe Tommy Robinson says two plus two equals four and I say you know what Tommy Robinson I agree with you that means I now co-sign everything else he's ever said and done so what they're basically saying is even conversing having a conversation with retweeting I've even seen if you retweet someone that they deemed to have had an idea that they disagree with in the past it could have been 14 years ago you can catch it if you will and that gives them the excuse to ban you from their platform but if you're on the left you can joke about raping children in 2012 on Twitter right and that was just a joke right saying that when they weren't even joking when we had one one actor who said that he hoped that Barron Trump wasn't yeah was put in Peter Fonda that's right was put into a cage and raped by pedophiles I believe is what he said but I don't think he even remove the tweeter he didn't never remove the treats but never issued an apology and was never his account was never suspended nothing no I mean it's it's absolutely unconscionable the bigger threat for me though is not just D platforming its algorithmic manipulation I'll give you an example right now on Google you can search Paul Joseph Watson YouTube what would you expect to come up as the top results so you have any followers on YouTube YouTube channel 1.6 million subscribe you would expect the first result to be my youtube channel correct the first result is a person doing an impression of me who has about 200,000 subscribers a video that has about 30,000 views you don't even get to the results of my YouTube channel until the bottom of the page okay so sundar Pichai however you say his name testified in front of Congress they don't manipulate the algorithm for parties and purposes complete and not to lie quite like in front of Congress you've got videos on YouTube mark Dice is another conservative commentator on YouTube you can put in the exact title in quotations for a video that he produced a couple years back about Michelle Obama two million views or whatever you have to go to page 30 on the search results of YouTube to find that exact video videos appear before that they're completely unrelated to Michelle Obama or anything to do with that we can talk about Google manipulation I mean that's that's the most obvious thing and the reason for this is simple human beings are lazy so when they go to Google they want Google to spit out the fastest result they probably don't even look past the first four things that it hits the first four links that come up when you google something you are more inclined to hit those I can't think of the last time I've hit the second page of Google right so Google understands this obviously human beings but lazy they want information as fast as possible so what they're purposely doing is giving you false information about someone or or distort information about someone if you google me the stuff that comes up is hideous I do so much work for block America talking about actual issues that are happening like the illiteracy rates that that people are going through I testified in front of Congress and yet nasty disgusting articles that have been written about me by leftist racist journalists will be the first thing that come up as if and we know for a fact that CNN is not being watched we know for a fact that their viewership is down that people are no longer paying attention after they got caught with this Russian hoax and yet all of their stuff will hit the top of the page every single time and YouTube came out let's bury mine YouTube is the second biggest search engine in the world after Google itself into owned by Google obviously they came out and admitted we promote authoritative search results above anything else on YouTube what's authoritative far-left fringe websites like Vox like vice or whoever they are extreme in my opinion those are the extremists like when you're talking about Vox media and the things that they say and they put down in writing completely and now that their behavior has gotten to the level where they scream all day they complain about bullying and harassment and doxxing the prime progenitors of bullying daxing and harassment are these fringe far-left websites The Daily Beast came after Pamela Geller's daughters who aren't even political she's got a fatwa against her from Islamic terrorists her daughters aren't even political they out her daughters their profession what they do their identities in a hit piece they're not even political the Nancy Pelosi video that the guy uploaded to Facebook where she's slurring and it was a doctored video again they Daily Beast again doxed him identified him the creator of the Trump wrestling mean.they doxed and identified him they went to an old lady's house in Florida and accused her of running a Russian bot network CNN cameras pointing at her house while they're intimidating her harassing her they are the prime progenitors of cyber bullying and harassment even physically in person and yet they use that excuse to get rid of us alright it's just it's always been very clear with our trying to do is the journalists are trying to wipe their hands cleans when they say things that they know are false right and and unfortunately in America in American society it is very hard to prove libel when you are a public figure they can basically say and do whatever they want and it's it's it's excruciating for here in the UK I've gone after the Guardian the independent if they write something about me the burden is on them to prove it that it's true but over there they can say anything they want I've read articles basically calling me anti-black saying that I'm Pro Hitler saying I mean if the most absurd things I'm a black white supremacist and there's no there's there's they don't have to prove it but not to prove drew they can just simply write it as if it's a matter of it's as if it's a matter of fact when in fact it's a matter of not even an opinion it's not even their opinion they just don't like me but what are they doing they are sanctioning them for leftist thugs to show up when I go somewhere into an intimidate and to harass me and to be violent towards me and yet they say why just wrote the article I can wipe my hands clean of this and there seems to be no protection I mean but what is the solution to this well we we had one possible solution with Senator Hawley introducing this bill which would treat Facebook Twitter and YouTube and Google as how they behave as publishers rather than platforms because that if you threaten to take away that immunity and what this bill does is they have to report to a commission in the US and prove that they're politically neutral and nonpartisan to maintain that immunity from lawsuits so if someone goes on Facebook and post a death threat obviously Facebook is not legally responsible for that they would be if they behaved like a publisher if the New York Times published an article with a bunch of death threats against Donald Trump the New York Times would be liable because there are publisher right but YouTube Google Facebook Twitter are now behaving completely like publishers absolutely only with their algorithms but with the people who they ban who almost entirely are on the right and it's I called it election meddling and it is listen you had the vox party in spain which is a populist party center-right populist party got 10% of the vote 24 seats in the spanish parliament days before the election facebook banned numerous pages that supported the vox party that had millions of followers three days before a national election that is election meddling they just had their YouTube channel banned two days ago because three left-wing activists claimed that they violated copyright because they had some video with some political footage in it which was used by all the other parties now their YouTube channel is gone too that's election meddling well here's my thing I think their hope is that it's going to a medal with the election I think they're doing it because of course they want to know what the election and they think that Trump the reason why Trump is in office is because there was this hole right there was this vacuous space in the past people used to accept whatever came out of their TV screens to be the truth right before this rise of social media we just had sort of two networks that were competing with different narratives and we accepted everything may said to be true with without ever deeming to discover anything ourselves because we have now you too it allows people like me to say hey black America why are we voting Democrat right it allows people like me to produce videos and show what's actually happening in countries that we know the mainstream media is never going to cover because they want to protect their own narratives and I think that they think that the reason Trump got into office is because they didn't manage the narrative right it was this whole he got around them they called him racist sexist misogynist rapist everything that they possibly could and yet he managed to slip through the cracks because aha Twitter aha Facebook a-ha we we were kind of the troops that were getting out the truth and saying no no what CNN told you was a lie what FoxNews told you was a lie so I think their hope is that they'll be able to stop this in 2020 if they get a whole you know are able to get a hold on social media people that are so influential like you was 1.6 million followers but I don't think that that's actually going to be the results I don't think when you ban Paul Joseph Watson it is 1.6 million followers go okay I guess I'm a liberal Washington for pick five years but you know what I think he radicalized me woo fun actually I'm just a liberal it only makes them more encouraged to go out and vote right right and that's what it does to me right but it's it's absolutely incredible going back to the media lying about you I mean if you read your own Wikipedia page I've read my own Wikipedia page it's so horrific it's so bad it's like you wake up every morning and I don't do it every day I'm not an egomaniac but you do GLE your own name in Google News to see what the latest hit pieces and it's just the complete 180 of the person who you are so I read my own Wikipedia page and it's like all right conspiracy theorists I'm not alright the premiere premise of the alt-right is the why ethno state I don't believe in that I've never believed in that so I'm not alright the alt-right hates me they attack me I mean Google my name and fortune and see what they all right things about me and you as well as the same thing but with the Wikipedia thing conspiracy theorists okay I hate conspiracy theories I think most of them are really dumb that's why I don't watch CNN because they are conspiracy was a conspiracy theorist when I was a kid like 15 years ago that's where I came from so I know how those ideas you take disparate bits of information and fuse them together to create a conspiracy that doesn't mean there aren't some conspiracies but I know how they're created and I know mentally how people are lulled into believing them so now looking back on what I did in the past I know that most of them are done so for that to still be my defining characteristic yeah a conspiracy theorist even though I know I hate conspiracy theories is incredible it's like with you with the with the social what was the social and fun so crazy she's gonna control the first time I came across you and your name was writing a hit piece about you right yeah that's right you did you wrote me some about me you thought I was a leftist no that was actually back when I was more I was a liberal and what happened the Liberals I saw what the Liberals were our firsthand that they were that they were sort of crazy and it made me more conservative you believe things in the past which you've changed your mind on and you don't believe now and that's fine the left gets to do that all day long CNN will be the first person to call somebody a conspiracy theorist they have literally peddled for the last two years is the biggest political conspiracy theory that's ever exist in the past two decades by WMD and the Russian collusion hoax Russia exactly the talk about tinfoil heads it sure bladder my poo in Russian occlusion on a single chart of evidence and even though it's now the person that was their hero Robert Miller oh he's coming for your Trump in five four comes out and says there's nothing here what do they do they double down the conspiracy even though they say oh we need to wait to actually read the report then the report comes out they read it and there's nothing there that's what they do they triple down on the conspiracy theory and I'm like guys conspiracy theory Network to me the number one speech through Network right now which is actually driving America apart is CNN completely I mean I mean everything that they've said hasn't come to they've been saying that if Trump got into office think about all the things they said would happen if he got into office know that and now it's concentration camps right I mean there you had CNN contributor on yesterday saying yes they're going to become death camps okay again going back to the conspiracy theory thing when I was 18 19 20 I was put in our article saying George W Bush is gonna set up FEMA camps and Americans are going to be mass incarcerated in FEMA camps that was silly okay now an elected member of Congress basically the exact same thing concentration camps and everyone defends so people go up on CNN and take it a step further with the hysteria saying no they're actually going to be deathcap and they actually don't want to talk about Obama's legacy in terms of these of the migrants the border and nurses post it was his pocket it actually was bill Bill Clinton's policy and Obama took it I mean he could he arrested so many migrants new I mean so many people that came from over the border nobody said a single thing nobody cared it was fine no one there was no investigate report there was no outrage because the media accepted narrative was that everything was great because we had a black guy in office and people don't care do a comparative analysis and the idea that we shouldn't be allowed to have national sovereignty it is to meet absolute lunacy it's like right now what we're seeing happening on the left is that they they want to they want to see a breakdown of society simply to say I told you so because the person that they didn't want to be in the Oval Office is sitting there yeah and dad Fanning the flames again for more riots if Trump gets reelected which happened when he did get elected they kind of brushed that under the carpet I'm surprised that there haven't been more left-wing extremist attacks actually we had the James T Hodgkinson shooting which thankfully nobody died and Steve Scalise almost died we had and these all get buried immediately there was a terrorist in San Francisco PS sixty-nine last Christmas he planned a massacre of hundreds of people you go on his Facebook page it's all nt4 websites it's CNN it's the Young Turks we get blamed when people who commit acts of violence watched an info Wars video when somebody like this who is clearly radicalized by this kind of extremist rhetoric that you talk about goes out and plans to Massacre hundreds of people it's just it's barely even a shooting in Colorado recently it was like the number one thing and then it went away overnight when they realized that the shooter wasn't conservative or a trump supporter they realized that it was leftist and was another school transgender yeah the trans person it's like oh wait this doesn't fit the narrative whereas when the Parkland shooting happened this went on for months and months and months they turned to the students that survived it into celebrities and end but the Colorado one didn't fit the narrative and especially because which made me so happy those kids stood up and walked away and said and refused to speak to reporters and said that they would not allow the reporters to use their tragedy and manipulate their tragedy and emotions to you know try to rescind to a try to repeal to a and I thought that was like that to me was a moment that was kind of at this moment which said that we have sort of inspired this awakening in terms of how the media does manipulate people I think that's largely in part due to alternative media people like me like you who are just kind of talking about real life here yeah going back to that is it going to impact the 2020 election this D platforming what you don't have happening now which you had in 2016 which you had is posting video on Facebook for example and it would get 10 20 25 million views I remember doing one about linguas that some riots in Philadelphia no as Baltimore I think but yeah Baltimore riots the video got 20 million views on Facebook obviously that's not gonna happen now for me but even if I was still on Facebook there was a switch that occurred in late 2017 early 2018 went from getting 500,000 to a million views on an average video on Facebook it would be cut down to 6070 thousand so they deliberately made that switch and it's as you say obviously most people in the Rust Belt weren't voting for Trump because they saw an edgy video of mine on YouTube there were the fundamental economic nationalist reasons for voting for Trump but how big is that chunk that's been taken out of the energy behind his base how big an impact is that going to have in 2020 that's why people have complained about the administration not taking in a faction right and I think Trump that's the reason why Trump when it got to you cuz they always try to say that one person so fringe it doesn't matter this person was crazy that's why we got rid of them and I think that that's what they did with Laura luma right cuz she sort of went out early and they said oh she's a radical and then what they do like which is chewable of leftist and fastest as they move in they move in they move in and now they're calling ben shapiro ultra bright and he just can't believe he's being called out right but this is what they do they're going to censor any dissenting opinion more of our alex jones when alex jones go bund right I mean they claim that this is to solve radicalized if you look at what some of the people who have been banned Laura luma for one mile oh you're not police for another and now saying on telegram for example they're saying stuff which is way more radical than they ever said in the past so it doesn't stop radicalization and telegram Tyler Graham yes sir I know I have I have telegram I use it for yeah it's like a whatsapp but you can have a group on it it's a Russian owned app so you're never gonna get the platform basically they don't bow to the outraged mobs but that is the only platform that they've got left now so all bets are off and the stuff that goes on on telegram is is way more provocative than what you would ever see on Twitter so deep platforming doesn't actually stop radicalization I think increases radicalization because people have got these frustrations and if they're not allowed to voice them and add them they're only going to be buried further underground and people are going to get more and more resentful and that is I think what is happening with the rise of some of these right-wing attacks christchurch for example things like that sorry it's only gonna get worse well I mean what do you think and you're not the only person that has this theory that when you start banning people who are just having a dissenting opinion it actually in fact radicalizes them or I say the other way where it forces them to be suicidal as you basically said I can't participate in society or can't world cancel Kol I mean a woman turned up at the YouTube headquarters and tried to kill people and ended up killing herself because they deleted her channel obviously she was completely insane but when you are gonna get people eventually you just stop killing themselves because we've got a culture that's so based around narcissism and addiction to social media the social media platforms created that environment which is why Twitter is never gonna remove retweets and likes they talk about this so for the health of the conversation for that for the health of people getting getting themselves off social media lol the brian Stelter is such a joke but they're not gonna do that because it would prevent these outrage mobs building off enough enough momentum 2d platform people from PayPal to which is the reason why they want to do that in the first place so and for those of you that aren't following this so it's been proposed that Twitter should the ability to retweet and so you can't see you can't see how many retweets something has gotten or see how many likes something has gotten to me that was almost like saying they want to pretend that all of the ideas you would walk into this into this into Twitter and you would say I don't know which idea has gotten further the whole idea of a retweet and is to see how many people agree with this a whole idea of license to see Wow 400,000 people liked what Donald Trump says that that lets you know that Donald Trump is leading but if you remove that and now you've got Hillary and Donald Trump you don't know whose ideas are going better so it then allows you to sort of shape the narrative and pretend Oh Hillary's leading by 15 points I really do believe that's why they even had this conversation in the first place because these CNN journalists they're getting retweets they have no following professor and they feel pathetic so they start demanding that Twitter takes away the fact that they have no power in America anymore so they can pretend that they are these people that are like the guardians of thought in America like the and they're not nobody cares they think anymore they're considered puny and pathetic and that they won't just let it go they're considered angry and bitter and and incapable of just telling the truth the truth is that Americans are not racist as a whole the truth is that Americans are not sexist or misogynist as a whole but truth is that we were dissatisfied with what was going on in our country and you saw an ideological revolution take place and Donald Trump in the same way that I took place in the UK with the brexit Party and the same place that is taking place and with Boston ro in the same place is taking place with salvini the people are dissatisfied you are going to create this environment of populism and that's what this is about this censorship is about creating a false consensus and it goes back to 2012 when big leftist websites and most mainstream news websites completely eliminated comment sections because there are academic studies performed in those years 2012-2013 which proved that the reader judged the veracity and the credibility of the article not on the content of the article but on the responses in the comment section underneath so as soon is that yeah I do totally do that but they don't really exist anymore on the big left-wing websites right they all got rid of the comment sections because they found out I mean BuzzFeed still has a comment section which is a Facebook plug-in and whenever there's a hit piece about me or you or anyone it's 90 percent in our favor I'm surprised they haven't got rid of them but most have because that sets the consensus and that's the same thing with social media d platforming oliver darcy and brian Stelter don't get too many retweets in comparison to candice Owens do they right it's pathetic so and what is it it hurts their egos to admit that nobody's following them but what I struggled to understand is why not just start telling the truth I mean what would the truth is quite popular it turns out the truth is popular right and even even if it's not some people just create the creatures an authentic conversation half the time right so as opposed to pretending everything is great just have a conversation sit someone down and say who are you what are your about why do you have a following just being able to sit down you communicate the hate the idea just for you to enunciate who you are as a person what is your truth they don't want you to have that ability because then that would take away their power to portray everyone as these dangerous right-wing bigots as they do which is what what a points to is the fact that at their core they're narcissists completely ourselves I have you seen people I Oliver Darcy on YouTube when he goes on a show so boring these people don't have personalities that's why nobody wants to listen to them so they get jealous I mean in his case he was part of right-wing media who was with the blaze right and he was Oliver Darcy yeah I didn't know that yeah and basically the people around him were you didn't really do a good job so they kicked him out then he joined CNN and had this vendetta so he became like the activist this for a year before Alex Jones got taken down he was going to Facebook he was going to YouTube saying this violates your policy this violates your policy when are you gonna remove him again they're not journalists they're almost you thought you know yeah they're definitely and just be honest about it like I'm not a journalist I'm a commentator I have a position I take a position so do they meet it's what I believe in this is what I want what I stand for I'm not here to pretend that you know like I saw this actually it's really funny because now they try to say oh well why don't you do a good job of trying to bring people you know bring people together right like I think that was actually might have been one of the questions that that British journalist Andrew asked Ben Shapiro what one's remiel Andrew Neil I always want to say Klein yeah what Andrew Neil says you know your tweets don't align with this thesis in your book right if you're all about bringing the left in the right together why do you say things like blah blah blah and the way that I would've enter that question is I'm not trying to marry well right I think the ideas of the left are bad and rotten and that we have to defeat them ideologically I'm not trying to marry communism with politics should always be rigorous and divisive it's a fact people are always gonna have competing ideas no way to make this marriage happen and be successful have an even playing field and the best argument wins that's right used to it's like now what people are trying to say if you're not trying to bring together the Communists with the capitalists some things aren't there's there's no way they can live in a house together right now you don't want to listen to you anyway now that was on the far left from you immediately and that's not my job my job is to make sure that I get these ideas of free markets and capitalism into a community that I believe is is desperate for it the blog being the black community they will never listen because it's in the DNA of the far left and to not even listen to a conversation because they believe that gives you power for them to even listen to him so that's never gonna happen this idea that we need to all come together in the spirit of love and that's not politics so it's now stripe it out that you have a level playing field the best ideas win that's exactly now they've they've upset the level playing field and that's the only way they can win because as he said the truth is popular there to see their fake and use conspiracy theory isn't okay so then here's nothing that I wonder what is the purpose of these people that benefit so much off of a capitalist structure being these these people like you know Don Lemon and Oliver Darcy and brian Stelter why are they giving socialism a platform that would negatively impact their lives right Ellen DeGeneres try you know trying to make aoc seem friendly whatever it is they they invite these guests on that are talking about things like socialism I think aoc said she wants to tax anybody over 10 million that's a lot of people on the Left that are gonna have to give up their money I mean what is the purpose of them pretending that this is a society that they want well either they've got very clever loopholes in how they pay their tax and what their investments are offshore which is what the richer people do or they don't believe that it's ever gonna happen but you know you had Joe Biden come out in a speech to Wall Street billionaires and he literally said don't worry nothing is gonna change when I win and that is the top 1% he said your taxes might go up a little bit but don't worry nothing's gonna change so deep down they probably think that that radicalism is never gonna take hold in America but if you look at the polls especially amongst Millennials they're pretty keen on it you know socialism I don't I don't know that they are see my experience and I say this is someone who has traveling and a lot of speaking in front of in front of the youth is that they're not generation Z is very conservative I'm serious generation Z and and this might be because they are the YouTube generation right they they are constantly in ultra alternative and looking at alternative forms of media you know we know people that watch Fox News or our 60-plus and people that watch CNN the same so my sense in my feeling actually is that Generation Z being the kids that are in high school right now are surprisingly conservative and this is sort of a response to the Millennials who swung the pendulum so far left my generation swung the pendulum so far left that we're seeing sort of this op equal and opposite force cuz they're but they're irreverent they love their the mean culture yeah they're the meme culture I don't know I don't really I'm actually pretty hopeful after I go and I speak to these kids they love being offensive they love it all completely if you look at tape talk I mean they even put out hit pieces about tick-tock which is an app basically for teenagers but they were inserting their edgy Zoomer humor into it and then the devices and the boxes of the world started coming after tick-tock but yeah there are polls that show that and obviously you want to rebel against the establishment if you're a teenager what is the establishment now right like back in the eighties it wasn't what it is now right the dominant forces of culture politics and society are all controlled academia or all controlled by the left can you repel against rap it's natural for kids that are young to want to repel right whatever it is whether it's snow cigarette it was drinking alcohol before you're supposed to I'm saying words you know you're not supposed to cursing or and in this case it seems to be okay everyone's gonna be a leftist and a liberal and upset and under a hat but we're gonna be the exact opposite I mean think of the Cottagers imagine that's that's what I'm talking about these kids are much more maggle on the street high schoolers walking around with megawhatts I know my YouTube graphic is 20 to 35 that's the biggest chunk by far so it is that YouTube generation and you it was flipped back in the seventies the eighties the censorious powers in society were on the right so kids teenagers rebelled against that when the Sex Pistols tried to play a concert across the United Kingdom it would get shut down it would get banned because the people on the right the religious right mainly were the censorious crowd and that's that's why you had a an Enlightenment period really in the UK in terms of rock music in terms of punk and later on in terms of comedy because the right and the religious right was still largely in control of those cultural institutions and of the entertainment industry so it was cool and it was edgy yeah it was subversive so if that's the opposite now where it's the left the other censorious ones correctness yeah can't say that that's offensive oh you have to you have to apologize for your tweet you sent 20 years ago oh you can't host the Oscars human behaves like that in a person-to-person situation even Bill Maher came out on CNN and said this a couple of weeks ago nobody is politically correct in private conversations that doesn't mean that people are racist they're just loose with their language because they want to have a laugh with their friends they're not spouting hate speech or anything but they don't want to watch their language around their own friends it's not i mean how lucky are we to have grown up without this ability of the internet to capture everything you said I mean hear it I said so many stupid things so many horrific things you just experiment with being a horrible person when you're young that's the whole idea of growing up what muscles say that so I'm definitely gonna say it right so like you got on the bus and my mom at the bus station you get on the bus and I was dropping f-bombs and saying whatever I you know whatever I wanted to because I wanted to be counterculture what was told that where was supposed to be okay or what we were allowed to do you always want to step outside of that as a kid so in a weird way and I think this is best evidenced by the fact that I've got 1.5 million dollars on Twitter after only being here for under two years you've got 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube that's evidence for the fabric yeah but so they can censor they can bacon pretend it's not winning but I'm largely optimistic that it's no matter what the more that they censor the more they try to suppress the truth the greater this underground movement of thought and conversation is going to become you could say that you make that argument for Zoomers but in terms of Millennials if you ask them on campus and they've done lots of polls what's more important being politically correct or having free speech the majority say being politically correct so that's different on campus a whole different beast and that is why we call them islands if it's totalitarianism it becomes the culture there I mean I think that the reason why I got lucky is as I dropped out of college they couldn't indoctrinate me long enough when you get these kids here for four years and and you make force them which is what they do to take these classes like feminism 101 african-american studies there's now gays studies all of these things are even when I was going to college in 2000-2001 history they would put a huge picture of Stalin up on the wall in Lenin and just we would have to worship that for a couple of hours that's when I dropped out that was like eighteen years ago yeah that was eighteen years I don't believe it was it was pretty bad even back then but yeah this this you go back to saying we were lucky not to have everything on record on social media this is the Chinese Communist style social credit score system where over there you cannot even buy a plane ticket or a train ticket in some circumstances because of what you've said online in that country about the government in America in the United Kingdom maybe it's about a protected group that is the next step and now MasterCard shareholders are having a vote as to whether they can deny service to individuals based on their political beliefs based on if enough people complain about it I think my hope is with that when you're starting to see this sort of corporate corporatization of free speech being shut down my hope is that free markets will take care of that right so if once these big companies start saying yes we accept this my hope is that then conservatives will just stop using it and what I mean by that is like I was horrified when I saw that Burger King sanctioned the milkshake trend of throwing milkshakes at old people if they're conservative or at politicians like Nigel and there you know sanctioned it on Twitter by saying you we have milkshakes all day for people whenever it is which is basically a nod to political violence or the start of political violence my hope is that then that sends a signal to everybody that is conservative or or supports the brexit party or at least supports human decency right to not go buy a Burger King you know not it should be differently because when Nike had the whole Colin Kaepernick thing they ended up making money off that because the virtue signal guarantees the millions of dollars worth of free advertising which they would otherwise have to pay for so in some instances it works because you get enough liberals who will buy that product with the GL acting the best and insel can get you know their whole ad campaign about woke progressive shaving people switched over to other companies but they lost money so in some instances as it works because obviously July it's mainly a male audience but with Nike they actually ended up making money from the whole Colin Kaepernick thing so I don't like to see that long-term though mmm long-term pain instantly it can be pretty volatile right so you can get one really virtue signaling billionaire to just be like I'll just buy all of this just because just to prove a point if they're not gonna stop you but I'd like to see that that long terms of free market I don't think we've got an answer to I mean YouTube they just control too much there's no real YouTube alternatives there's bit you but then you can get a bit shoe and a gap and you're just in the ghetto with the actual white supremacist because that is a lot of it I mean let's be honest about you you go and bit obviously if I only have shoe as a platform I would have to use it I do but you can go on the front page of shoe and yes there is literal like white supremacist propaganda in there so they need to get way better that the the good example is parlor oh yeah because what I don't know what happened with that I think was it the Saudi thing where all the Saudis who were being banned on Twitter came over because I went from like 6,000 followers a few weeks ago now it's like 40,000 there's been a huge on rush of participants in parlor and that does look like it will be a kind of balance platform I really do think so and I've met I met the founder I was one of the first people who said okay I'm gonna try this out and I think it's a responsibility of those of us who have a platform still have a platform to experiment with alternative platforms and yes there are some of them that I think are too extreme and I've never giving my voice behind it but I think parlours is an excellent one and look I also keep my Twitter account right but I'm saying that I'm on both now so if you think that banning I think you know and all of these conservative voices I'm gonna stay here no and I think the greatest thing that could happen would be for the president of United States to jump ship because you know what would happen after 2020 if he won and then jump ship two alternative platforms everyone would have to follow him because the United States do some posts on alternative platform right I totally agree with that yeah that would be a big move but do you ever fear being banned because they came pretty close with Crowder people like oh no crowd are surely not Crowder he was on the edge he was hanging by the skin of his teeth do you have a concern that you'd get banned I've already been banned and then on you know sort of unbanned I think know the reason why I'm not concerned is because I create a weird problem for them so as I said in the beginning of this this episode the whole idea of them banning people is that they say it's white supremacy when when you start banning black people even the people that might be believing in this white supremacy lie are gonna start thinking and the last thing the left wants for people to start thinking and to start realizing that what they're doing is not banning white supremacist it's them outwardly being fascists and something and shutting down any dissenting opinion so I forced that conversation naturally which is why they always admit to their error immediately and reinstate my account and you know I will put everything that I say is on record black people don't have to be Democrats I'm a black conservative I think um you know that that liberals have done a tremendous disservice to black Americans I don't plan on shutting up about that and because of my following and sort of the publicity that's behind me it just don't you think I know that was good I heard right the ridiculous up I mean they really tried with Kapadia for every break are you right Dennis Prager who is Jewish but this is I mean they're this is the desperate they're trying on the outskirts to try to launch you know some sort of mud that will actually stick on me it hasn't worked and I am protected by the color of my skin so how's that for maybe some black privilege right yeah use their own identity politics against them right so it's been criticized for well I'm told I'm Bo as they go free yeah I mean but that's the whole thing it's like it make you make you you made the bed line it you said that you cannot critique a black person you cannot go take a woman a woman oh you know you don't like to play by your own rules and and and it's expose them I like for them to be nasty and to critique me because it exposes them for what they are it was never about protecting minorities it was never about protecting women it's about gaining power and the proof I am proof I'm living proof of that which is why I never have sympathy obviously you can still support free speech but not have sympathy when people on the Left get banned because well this is the bed you made line it right when the crass and Steen's got banned I mean that was just funny obviously but I the difference is you and I would never lobby I mean first of all what a waste of time and how pathetic would your life have to be so be that hyper focused on getting somebody else silenced right I mean that speaks fundamentally to the Constitution of these people on the last ideological weakness their ideas can't win so what they do shut down all their ideas also the marketplace of ideas they can't win so it's basically saying my product sucks so I'm gonna get the other get rid of the other product that's competing with my product that's gonna get insult right that's what they're doing it's also a kind of self loathing thing that I've noticed this many of the people especially in the UK who would viciously come for me especially in a couple of years back you would read into them and they would be deeply depressed and they would write about how deeply depressed they were and how self-loathing they were so there is an element of that on the left that these people just a very unhappy people angry and they lash out and they think that by rerouting their unhappiness into political activism than that then that suddenly gives them the moral high ground it doesn't it means you've got personality issues and you need to sort them out they're dark I mean look these people are dark they're they're um they're bitter they're angry they're upset their lives aren't going the way they should go I mean this is the example that I constantly gave about this radicalize feminism look who's who or the radicalized feminists nobody weddings - nobody thinks Kathy Griffin's happy nobody can look me an amazing time way they think Chelsea Handler's happy no one could say any about the straight face but these people bought into the scam of leftism in their youth right and now they're there alone because we want them had a vendetta against society like the classic stereotype of feminists being fat and ugly with multicolored hair then you go this is what feminism looks like campaign with actors and attractive actresses coming out Murata whatever but no generally the stereotype is true I'm right generally people who have a resentment against society because when they grew up they didn't have maybe as many opportunities or as much fun as other people did because you know they weren't as attractive then that's the hand you Dell deal with it right just deal with it deal with the hand you Dell but a lot of it is based on resentment I find because these people are unhappy and in many cases physically repulsive right right and I look you know I'm very happy to say my sophomoric but I think is it generally true they know it is generally true and like I said even if you challenge one that's on the far left to give you a straight answer do you think Kathy Griffin is happy they will say no all right and so that should tell you something so this person is not outraged about Trump there's something else going on and Trump becomes the front for their own misery and their own arena now can you say orange man bad boy like Bernie Sanders had a tweet the day the racist sexist homophobic yeah all right where's your platform orange man bad is still their platform right I know I know and I always wonder is how do they do it every day right so even if you eat it's like being upset every single day talk about the same thing it's just like we're talking about Trump I get bug you you got to get bored of this obsession there's a media worldwide obsession with everything he says every mannerism every cough every sneeze and I think that they are bored if I'm being honest I think they are boys I think they're miserable I've made videos about subjects though and then the subject comes up again like the border is your waiver with the detention of children okay I made a video about it but then it comes up again and I'm like well I've said everything I want to say about that I don't want to revisit it because I get bored of talking about the same thing a lot of people on the Left never do it's like a kind of personality trait but also an advantage politically because that does come back with the same drumbeat over and over again if he wins again in 2020 do you think they will stop do you think we'll see sort of them trying to normalize realization oh no I don't think I would never put it under the category of self-realization I would actually put it under the category of okay now there's something we can do let's get ready to try to pretend that that were normal insane for 2024 I think the Trump derangement syndrome has toned down a bit Oh for the past year I mean 20 you know thing 2017-2018 though they were literally screaming to the sky remember that last year I mean they've toned it down a little or maybe it's just that I'm not as interested in it because I was or I would always combat it with my own rhetoric now I just - tag impeach Trump now like literally every week it trends on Twitter and just roll my eyes so do you think that's because I'm just not into it or do you think the TDS is as bad as ever I think it's transition so it went from like we're screaming up the sky to like okay we're in this we can Russia has colluded and he's gonna be gone in two years so now we can just focus on Russia Russia Russia Russian obsession so I think they just sort of move the goalposts but I do not think it's calm down I don't think that you I don't think you can watch TV and not see something about Trump and how the world is literally saying that would America's concentration camps and we all know that what that term means and how explosive it is maybe it maybe it hasn't calmed down what as to what they'll do after 2020 I mean they'll riot in the streets again and it may be worse than last time I don't know I would hope it would have calmed down and they would have that self realization whereby oh no we actually have to have a policy platform that engages with millions of Americans we can't just scream orange man bad all day that's not gonna get as the result we want they haven't learned that lesson yet so no right exactly all right well we wrap every episode by allowing you to leave a 2 minute message with the world if you could say anything that you would want no you have to do it that you just would want ever take a hold in society just listen everyone in the entire world because that's how many people watch my show the whole world by the way right you look at that camera and you can say whatever you want are you ready on your mark get set world here is Paul Joseph Watson I'm glad I planned this out before I would just encourage everyone free speech is the foundational the fundamental protection that we have in society it guarantees absolutely everything you need to support the people who are being targeted you need to support Candace Owens need to support yes Alex Jones and you need to support everyone who's been targeted by this wave of censorship because if free speech goes it all goes we found out throughout history first they take away your right to descend your right to complain that's happened it's happening now in other authoritarian countries in China they had this giant sprawling social credit score system which is denying people the basic right to travel to engage in commerce and to engage in free speech and that is coming to the west and we live in a very dark hysterical time where we have empowered mobs of outraged hysterical individuals who have contrived fake moral panics about things that aren't really a threat like Nazis taken over society to enrich themselves with the very worst kind of authoritarian power which they're now imposing on everyone else and I think we've entered a very dark time in terms of free speech so we need to rally harder behind the fundamental fundamental principles of free speech more than ever before that's why we're saying they just started drilling yep that's a wrap that was awesome that was actually really good thank you guys for watching the latest episode of the Candis Owens show I hope you guys enjoyed the conversation as much as I did as many of you guys already know Prager U is a 501c3 nonprofit organization which means we need your help to keep all of our
