Transcripts
this one is a media story not
necessarily a serious but certainly does
tell us a little bit about the world
that we live in about the discourse
around cancel culture and all of that so
let's go a and put this up there on the
screen uh news breaks this morning from
the daily wire CEO Jeremy booring he
tweets quote daily wire and Candace
Owens have ended their relationship so
this comes after a lot of internal
consternation between Candace Owens and
Ben Shapiro that has exploded in the
open after October the 7th Candace has
been quite vocal in an anti-war stance
both on Ukraine and has carried over a
lot of that consistency to the war
between Israel and Gaza she's been
particularly outspoken about civilian
casualties in Gaza and has also been
against sending us weapons to Israel now
obviously this all broke out into the
open you'll recall a few months ago when
Ben Shapiro was asked on camera and
called her comments about Israel quote
dis graceful uh this led to a public
spat between the two in which Ben
replied to her and said Candace you are
welcome to quit at any time uh there was
some speculation that that might have
been to involve having to pay her out of
her contract the circumstances obviously
of her departure are not 100% clear what
we do know though is that it came almost
immediately after a major frus I guess
you could say with the ADL let's go and
put this up there on the screen just
yesterday the ADL the so-called
Anti-Defamation lead league and one of
the most censorious organizations and
pro-israel groups in the US they put out
an article stating quote white
supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick
Fuentes is praising Candace Owen's quote
vitriolic anti-Semitism it is hardly
surprising but it does set off alarm
Bells when bigoted people come together
to push an anti-semitic agenda it adds
fuel to the fire uh so Candace replied
to this she says quote I do not know M
Nick quentes you already know that what
I do know is that everyone can see what
you guys are doing to me your pattern is
well established and the world is waking
up against it my crime is having stood
up for myself against your network of
smears now Candace has particularly come
under major fire since October 7 from a
lot of these major conservative Media or
or a lot of these conservatives
organizations or organizations like the
ADL like APAC like the Republican Jewish
Coalition and others if attacked her
relentlessly she has not uh given in in
fact has only escalated some of the
things that she's talking about this has
led to some major debates on her channel
for example with rabbis leading to some
frankly wild discussions around what
exactly constitutes anti-Semitism and
doesn't uh but most importantly I think
for our purposes it does seem that she
had no idea that that yesterday would be
her last day we actually have a clip
here that we can play from her very last
daily wire appearance she says at the
end I'll see you tomorrow and she hints
at the fact that some of the uh concer
that she's kind of bubbling to the
surface let's take a listen thank
everybody who has been on this journey
with me people that have supported me I
especially want to thank all of the
Jewish people that have been in the
comments saying how outraged they are
and I know that it is especially
difficult for you guys right now because
you are being smeared you know I mean
I'm I'm not going to go away I'm going
to use my god-given voice to talk about
the things are important for me I'm just
asking to be left alone or at least just
report the truth ladies and gentlemen
unfortunately that is all the time that
we have for today but don't worry
because we will see you tomorrow for a
brand new episode so as you can see I
mean this has been a major source of
tension inside the daily wire now for
months and months and months uh and I
think look what what can we learn about
this I mean first and foremost it's a
little bit hilarious right that this is
what led to the uh this is what led to
the departure over at the daily wire
like Candace look whether you like her
or not she said a lot of things she said
a lot of controversial she actually just
did a whole segment about brid Mone
perhaps being a male uh I haven't
watched it I haven't looked into it just
to be clear so I don't know the merits
or whatever that but my point is that
all of that that was fine and that never
kicked up a hornet nest it was only when
she started critiquing Israel war
strategy in Gaza and talking about
civilian casualties did all of this come
to the surface and frankly saying what I
think are principled and more or at the
very least principal principled within
her framework of looking at War at
Ukraine and at Israel adopting an
America for strategy it was only that
clinging to that which led to B
basically the breakup between her and
this major company uh and I think that
we can learn quite a bit from that I
mean there's so much to say right first
of all the ADL I mean bench Pi himself
has gone after the ADL I've seen
innumerable daily wire segments about
the ADL sorious and all that and yet
there you know parting ways with her the
immediately after the ADL incorrectly by
the way guilt by association smearer
says so and so is praising so and so so
you can't control that if you want to
attack somebody then attack what they
specifically said they're using guil by
association now we don't know again what
the exact thing that led to the breakage
between them but prior to this there had
been not one single con ounce of
consternation from daily wire leadership
from Candace own she previously talking
about she had a good relationship inside
of the company and I look we all know
it's because of Israel and and what
that's crazy it's crazy that Candace
Owens who is a conservative commentator
who is working for an organization which
was supposedly founded on the Bedrock of
free speech speaking your mind you know
saying facts are facts what is it the
facts are your feelings something like
that and by sticking to what she
believes in she is effectively out of a
job and this is an organization the
daily wire which honestly I don't think
they can come back from this I'm not
saying that they won't be successful and
all that listen I I don't doubt from a
business perspective can't help but
respect it but from a principal
perspective I think a lot of people are
going to remember this um a lot of
people are going to see kind of the
double talk around cancel culture and
free speech and what are real red lines
and what aren't red lines this has been
a very very revealing episode episode in
the last SE six seven months or whatever
since it's been since October 7th and
this is just the latest casualty here in
America but I think the rift actually
does tell you a lot about when you're in
the institutional right what you're
allowed to talk about what you're
allowed not to never been happier not to
be a part of any organization like that
just say whatever the hell that I want
um so anyways thought I would give you
download of some of my thoughts in this
Breaking News segment uh thank you by
the way yeah thank you to all of our
premium subscribers which enable it so
that uh our jobs don't rely on the whims
of CEOs and the ADL and all that the
only people who control it is you and I
I can't thank you all enough so
