00:00:48.000 Buckle up.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.
00:00:50.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:52.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:54.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:58.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:01.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:02.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:03.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:05.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:11.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:20.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:24.000 She is one of the most powerful voices for faith, family, and for freedom.
00:01:27.000 Someone I know very well.
00:01:28.000 We had a lot of fun together for a couple of years at Turning Point USA, and she's doing awesome.
00:01:33.000 And she's a frequent guest of the show.
00:01:35.000 We have an upcoming campus tour.
00:01:37.000 It's Candace Owens.
00:01:38.000 And I want to tell you, Candace has joined the powerful lineup at the Daily Wire, great company, launching a new show where Talk Show meets late night.
00:01:47.000 She'll continue to call out leftist lies and the corruption of media and big tech.
00:01:51.000 So join Candace each week as she welcomes powerful voices, talk about the most critical issues, break down what's actually happening in our country.
00:02:00.000 And trust me, you're going to laugh a lot too.
00:02:03.000 Candace is unfiltered and quite honestly uncancelable.
00:02:06.000 Even as she says, all the things other on the right wing are afraid to say, Candace is a dear friend.
00:02:11.000 She's a fighter.
00:02:12.000 She loves our country.

00:03:06.000 I want to thank our amazing Turning Point USA activists here that have helped put on this incredible event.
00:03:12.000 And isn't it nice to be in a state that for the most part is open and we're able to do events like this?
00:03:21.000 I see so many friends here and I want to thank all the amazing Turning Point USA high school leaders and college leaders that are doing the difficult and necessary work on your campuses every single day.
00:03:34.000 You're the ones that have to come under the accusations.
00:03:37.000 You're the ones that we call all these terrible names because you love your country.
00:03:41.000 And tonight we are going to celebrate America.
00:03:43.000 Tonight we're going to talk about things that your professors, they don't want you to be talking about and they certainly are not going to tell you about our country, about what's happening in America.
00:03:53.000 And I could tell you this, that, you know, at Turning Point USA, we've had some amazing experiences in the last nine years, almost nine years coming up in June.
00:04:03.000 And probably one of the most amazing, if not the number one thing that I can say that we've had the opportunity is to be able to see our special guest tonight rise to the national scene.
00:04:15.000 Someone who I've had an opportunity to speak at all across the country.
00:04:19.000 I don't think you'll be able to find a duo that spoke at UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Stanford in one semester as conservatives and live to tell about it.
00:04:28.000 We've had a lot of fun.
00:04:29.000 We did a lot of different things.
00:04:31.000 And she is now doing an unbelievable job with Blexit, the black exit from the left, and also her new terrific show with the Daily Wire, Candace, which I have to say is very, very, it's incredible here in Nashville.
00:04:44.000 And I just think it's awesome to be able to celebrate our country and to speak freely with none other than Candace Owens.
00:04:53.000 Everyone, let's give it up for Candace Owens.
00:04:55.000 Jeez, welcome to the stage, Candace Owens.
00:05:04.000 Hello.
00:05:11.000 Oh, wow.
00:05:12.000 This is so fun.
00:05:13.000 I'm excited.
00:05:13.000 I have not been doing any college campus stuff in, it feels like years.
00:05:18.000 We kind of like lost a year, and it's been at least a year and a half, too.
00:05:22.000 And also, now I'm a Nashville resident, which feels amazing.
00:05:28.000 I don't think I've ever been genuinely proud to say that I live somewhere because I started in Connecticut, then moved to New York, and now that I went to DC.
00:05:35.000 And finally, I am in free America.
00:05:38.000 Yeah, that's awesome.
00:05:41.000 And Candace, you're a mother.
00:05:44.000 Congratulations.
00:05:45.000 Thank you.
00:05:47.000 Which is hilarious because everyone always said to me, you know, once you become a mother, it will soften you.
00:05:52.000 And now that I'm a mom, I'm like, it's actually hardened me because I'm thinking to myself, no, there's a lot of BS going on in the world and my kid's going to have to deal with it.
00:05:59.000 So I feel like we have to fight even harder when you realize that kids are so vulnerable.
00:06:03.000 And however we land in this society, you know, in terms of the ideas in America, my child could potentially have an entirely different upbringing than I had.
00:06:12.000 Not to mention, my child's half white, half black.
00:06:14.000 So I'm not sure if he's half oppressed or half privileged, but we'll find out.
00:06:18.000 So Candace, is your child going to have to pay reparations to himself?
00:06:23.000 I think that's how it works.
00:06:24.000 I think it just, it cancels out, which is pretty exciting for our family.
00:06:28.000 So talk a little bit about, I mean, you came, you made a little bit of headlines.
00:06:32.000 I guess that's the most, that's the biggest understatement of the century.
00:06:36.000 And look, it wasn't a fair fight, okay?
00:06:38.000 You had someone who's not exactly smart, Cardi B.
00:06:41.000 And actually, I have to tell you.
00:06:42.000 Oh, good!
00:06:45.000 You actually told me about Cardi B a couple years ago, and you said, here's this, that's basically all you said.
00:06:49.000 She makes a noise and that she doesn't.
00:06:51.000 She makes really fun noises.
00:06:52.000 I will give her that.
00:06:53.000 She talks in non-decipherable sentences.
00:06:55.000 Right, which is exactly why Joe Biden interviewed her while he was a candidate for the president of the United States.
00:07:00.000 Incoherence understands incoherence, which I love.
00:07:05.000 But yeah, you know, it was one of those things where people always mistake me when people think I'm attacking Cardi B.
00:07:10.000 No, there's actually a lot of, it's going to sound crazy to say, but there's a lot of admirable qualities about her story, meaning that she started from nothing.
00:07:17.000 She worked her way.
00:07:19.000 However, she did work her way through life and became successful, right?
00:07:24.000 So there's something naturally conservative about finding success on your own terms, which is great.
00:07:32.000 But then once you have that success and you have an ability to actually turn around and try to make things better in the world, she just hasn't taken that opportunity.
00:07:42.000 And it's increasingly now our culture just has become so toxic and so perverted.
00:07:47.000 And I just could not fathom why Billboard chose to pick her as Woman of the Year.
00:07:53.000 And this is a woman who has talked about the fact openly that she's drugged and she has robbed men.
00:07:58.000 And that is what she did in the past.
00:07:59.000 And she was selected for women of the year.
00:08:01.000 I can think of plenty of people that could deserve women of the year.
00:08:05.000 You don't think it's going to be that person.
00:08:07.000 And then what happened on the Grammy stage was genuinely just a form of degeneracy.
00:08:11.000 And it didn't have to be Cardi B.
00:08:12.000 It could have been anyone.
00:08:14.000 And they do this stuff.
00:08:16.000 you know, at a crazy performance, half naked, like a dog humping its owner's leg, right?
00:08:21.000 And they do this stuff, and then they look at us like conservatives and go, oh my gosh, like, why are you commenting on this?
00:08:28.000 Because they want us to comment on it.
00:08:29.000 Otherwise, why would you be half-naked humping a woman center stage unless you were looking for attention and you wanted us to comment on that?
00:08:37.000 And that really is the way that the left gaslights conservatives.
00:08:42.000 And that term gaslighting comes from a play where it was an abusive husband who was trying to convince his wife or his girlfriend of a psychological manipulation tactic to actually turn down the temperature or turn down the light over time.
00:08:59.000 Now, Candace, let me ask you, though, do you think that the left is moving too quickly, that their gaslighting strategy is actually going to backfire because they're not slowly implementing this?
00:09:08.000 I mean, you look at, you know, for example, on the social media front, how quickly they kicked Donald Trump off of Twitter.
00:09:14.000 People have now woke up, woke up to the threat of big tech, something you and I talked about a lot a couple years ago.
00:09:21.000 Same with this issue with Cardi B. Do you think that in their plan to gaslight, it's actually going to backfire on them?
00:09:28.000 Yeah, I actually said that today on my show because somebody had asked me whether or not I'm optimistic about the future.
00:09:33.000 And I think a lot of people right now don't feel optimistic because it just seems that things are getting crazier and crazier.
00:09:39.000 But to me, I think it's sort of the last squeals of a dying animal.
00:09:43.000 Like my husband says, they're being so crazy and over the top because they feel cornered and they're losing control.
00:09:48.000 If the left was in control, actually in control, censorship wouldn't be necessary, right?
00:09:52.000 Because you'd say, it doesn't matter.
00:09:54.000 I've beat them so roundly and so fairly and so squarely.
00:09:58.000 Why would you censor President Donald Trump?
00:10:00.000 What would be the purpose in censoring him?
00:10:01.000 You'd feel confident.
00:10:02.000 You'd say, I hope he runs again in 2024 because I beat him so fairly and squarely the first time.
00:10:09.000 So in my opinion, all of these things that you can get depressed about because obviously this country is not in the best shape right now.
00:10:16.000 We have a lot of real threats and invasion happening at the border.
00:10:20.000 But I am optimistic that the media and the left are actually waking up people by the millions, not just in America, but all across the world right now.
00:10:28.000 And they're trying to implement this radical change so suddenly and that normal people, decent people, are starting to push back against that.
00:10:36.000 And you're the voice for so many of those people.
00:10:38.000 You mentioned the southern border.
00:10:40.000 Alexandria Casio-Cortez went to the southern border and staged a whole crying thing.
00:10:46.000 Yet there are three times as many children right now on the southern border than there were at any time during Trump's presidency.
00:10:53.000 On the front page of the ACLU website, they bragged that they sued the Trump administration 264 times around these issues and there's silence right now.
00:11:02.000 And AOC just did a live on Instagram, I think, last night saying anybody even talking about the border issue is a form of white supremacy.
00:11:02.000 Right.
00:11:10.000 So talk about really doing a 180 when first it's kids in cages and now it's the exact same thing happening at the border with much more people and they're okay with it.
00:11:19.000 And you know, I did Fox News a couple of weeks ago and I said we should stop calling it a border crisis because it's a border plan.
00:11:25.000 And I had spoken about this on stage with you for years.
00:11:28.000 I kept saying particularly to black America and I said it on stage when I was with TI and Killer Mike and we and Diddy and we did this event.
00:11:36.000 I said, looked at it all.
00:11:37.000 The entire audience was black and I said, if the Democrats get power again, you are going to see more Hispanics coming over the border than you've ever seen because their goal is to change the demographics of this country.
00:11:48.000 They realize that first and foremost, the black population is not increasing.
00:11:52.000 It's stagnated.
00:11:53.000 So, black Americans are the birth rate has just been flat, largely due, of course, to the incentives of Planned Parenthood.
00:12:00.000 And so, they're really looking to import a new voting block and doing exactly what they did to Black America at the end of the 1950s, which is just incentivizing them with handouts, right?
00:12:10.000 Here's free stuff.
00:12:11.000 Welfare is in that kicked off under LBJ and the Great Society Act.
00:12:14.000 And I can see them saying, Wow, that worked with Black America.
00:12:17.000 We got them married to government and thereby married to us, the Democrat Party, but now we need more of that.
00:12:23.000 So, we're going to import these people.
00:12:24.000 They're already offering them free hotel rooms, $350 a night.
00:12:28.000 I think the math works out too.
00:12:30.000 Guess they're staying at the Ritz-Carlton.
00:12:32.000 They're letting teachers, you know, go down, which is incredible and so insulting to have in-school learning for these migrants when most people couldn't get to class.
00:12:41.000 I mean, you guys would know this better than I this year because of COVID-19.
00:12:46.000 And so, you sort of see all this and you have to understand that there is an underlying evil.
00:12:50.000 This is a plan.
00:12:51.000 They're not surprised by this.
00:12:53.000 It's exactly what they wanted to happen, in my estimation.
00:12:56.000 And so, Candace, I completely agree.
00:12:57.000 And it's a mistake to say that the left is shocked and surprised by this.
00:13:03.000 This is deliberate.
00:13:04.000 They want to reshape the country in a very different image.
00:13:08.000 So, it seems as if the left wants us to talk about race all the time.
00:13:13.000 And that's why your voice right now is more important than ever because you've called BS on the BLM Incorporated movement, if I could call it, which is AstroTurf, early.
00:13:24.000 Right now, we have the trial of George Floyd's, the police officer who is being accused of the murder of George Floyd, Derek Chauvin.
00:13:33.000 And you made a video that went very, very viral last summer.
00:13:37.000 Why do they want to hyper-racialize everything in this country?
00:13:41.000 And comment on the trial with what's happening in Minneapolis.
00:13:44.000 So, in my opinion, Black Lives Matter is arguably the most racist organization that's ever existed.
00:13:50.000 And I'm going to say boldly in the history of the United States.
00:13:56.000 And the reason for that is simple.
00:13:58.000 So, the idea that they used dead black faces, you go to the website, picture of Breonna Taylor, picture of George Floyd, picture of Jacob Blake, you know, picture of all these people encouraging people to dig into their white guilt and to donate to Black Lives Matter Incorporated.
00:14:12.000 Where does the money go?
00:14:14.000 So, they elicit emotions all around the world by using dead black people, the faces of dead black people, and they make billions and billions of dollars.
00:14:14.000 Right?
00:14:23.000 And that money does not go to help black people at all.
00:14:26.000 And when you ask questions, it's like falling down the rabbit hole.
00:14:29.000 Hey, where did all the money go?
00:14:30.000 Where did all the money go?
00:14:31.000 What is the organization?
00:14:32.000 Is this a 501c3?
00:14:34.000 There are no answers, just leads to more questions.
00:14:36.000 So, we know that in the first couple of days following George Floyd's murder, they raised billions of dollars.
00:14:42.000 There's no such thing as Black Lives Matter corporate headquarters, so there's no office, there's no overhead.
00:14:47.000 We don't know who's on their payroll, who they're paying.
00:14:51.000 We certainly know they didn't build up any black communities around America.
00:14:55.000 We know actually the exact opposite happened because when because they work so quickly to get celebrities to endorse Black Lives Matter, which inspires more people to donate to them, there are riots, there are lootings, there are protests.
00:15:07.000 And what actually ends up happening is that more black people die in these riots during these lootings and during these protests than the one person that has inspired all of this, right?
00:15:17.000 So, they tell you, you know, police officers all built on a lie, right?
00:15:21.000 That police officers are somehow disproportionately killing black American men.
00:15:24.000 They aren't.
00:15:25.000 White American men and Hispanic American men die at a higher rate by police officers than black Americans.
00:15:32.000 That's just those are just the facts, you know, and those facts really upset people.
00:15:36.000 But it's just the truth.
00:15:37.000 So, there's no disparities in policing when you look at the actual data and the FBI statistics.
00:15:42.000 And yet, they're raising billions of dollars.
00:15:43.000 And again, it's going to really the destruction.
00:15:47.000 And they've had so much power.
00:15:48.000 Idea, especially as a D.C. resident before I moved to Tennessee, that Black Lives Matter was getting buildings named after them and streets named after them after they terrorized Washington, D.C. for six weeks.
00:16:01.000 We were terrorized.
00:16:02.000 And this wasn't like storming a Capitol building.
00:16:05.000 They were storming businesses.
00:16:07.000 So these are private owners that have nothing to do with what happened with George Floyd.
00:16:10.000 They were burning down cars.
00:16:11.000 They burned down an entire church in Washington, D.C. You know, none of that stuff was ever really covered in the media trying to pull down statues, not just in D.C., you guys know this, it was all across America.
00:16:21.000 And so, in my opinion, there's nothing more flagrantly racist than Black Lives Matter.
00:16:26.000 And the people that you follow that support Black Lives Matter Incorporated never have the courage to answer those questions about where the money is going.
00:16:35.000 And that's increasingly problematic.
00:16:38.000 One of the reasons this is what the left is focusing on is because so many people are afraid of being called a racist.
00:16:45.000 And so to try and accommodate the left, decent people are willing to vote how they're told or put the bumper sticker on their car or post the black tile because it's almost like this cultural extortion.
00:16:57.000 Do anything to me except call me a racist.
00:17:00.000 And because of that, the left has realized that they can implement what previously would have been an economic class war as now almost a power struggle on the country.
00:17:09.000 This is rooted in critical race theory, which you've talked about.
00:17:12.000 Candace, can you really dive into this of what they're teaching our children, how they're actually instructing bigotry to the next generation?
00:17:20.000 There's an amazing video from Louden Public Schools.
00:17:23.000 I don't know if you saw it or not, but it was a white teacher on a Zoom call with a black student.
00:17:29.000 You saw this?
00:17:30.000 I covered this on my episode of Candace Technology.
00:17:32.000 Tell us what it is.
00:17:33.000 Yeah, you know, so there's so much to talk about the education system, and it feels really good to be in front of people that are actually seeing this real time.
00:17:41.000 And I guess, first and foremost, to let you know, everything that you're seeing didn't exist 10 years ago.
00:17:46.000 And it's radically changed the education system, the American education system, and what they're focusing on.
00:17:51.000 This hyper focusing on what's really just psychological conditioning, right?
00:17:56.000 They're trying to brainwash students to psychologically condition them and not actually teach them hard academics that are going to be helpful in life.
00:18:02.000 So I actually talked about that in my monologue earlier today, which was just this is these are all facts, but America right now has never given out more degrees, and yet the students are dumber than they've ever been.
00:18:14.000 So SAT scores, and that's not an opinion, that's a fact.
00:18:18.000 SAT scores, standardized tests show that this is the dumbest generation.
00:18:22.000 We're producing the dumbest students that have ever lived in America, and yet they've got more degrees, right?
00:18:28.000 So if you actually look, so right now I'm actually, I've been doing a lot of studying over the last year and I'm actually enrolled in a course right now that's on Zoom and it's a literary theory course.
00:18:38.000 Technically, it's English.
00:18:39.000 It's an English course.
00:18:41.000 And in this literary theory course, I was so shocked when a requirement was that we all have to list our pronouns.
00:18:47.000 This didn't happen 10 years ago when I was in school.
00:18:50.000 And in my class, I have three people who identify as they them.
00:18:55.000 You would think in English class, they would tell you that you can't call one person a plural pronoun, right?
00:19:00.000 Hey, actually, that's not proper English.
00:19:03.000 This should be offensive to anybody teaching English that they have to call one of their students they them.
00:19:08.000 But they don't care because they're not after actually teaching you that this is actually wrong and problematic because they want to make sure you feel good.
00:19:16.000 So Thomas Sowell has a wonderful book.
00:19:18.000 I know you guys hear me talk about him all the time because I think I've read every Thomas Sowell book.
00:19:21.000 But he has a wonderful book called Inside the American Education System.
00:19:25.000 And I recommend that every person reads it to understand how professors are actually right now, they just want students to feel good and know nothing.
00:19:32.000 So there was a child, and he gives you a ton of examples, but one that was particularly hilarious to me is there was a child, a reporter spent months in a Los Angeles high school.
00:19:41.000 And they found the kid, 17 years old, who was the smartest kid in the class.
00:19:46.000 And they asked him what he learned that year in his history class.
00:19:51.000 And he said that he learned that the Vietnam War was fought between North Korea and South Korea.
00:19:57.000 Kid you not.
00:19:59.000 Until Eisenhower signed a deal completely.
00:20:06.000 I mean, just the idea that he even thought up that the Vietnam War was between North Korea and South Korea, tricky.
00:20:10.000 But then the reporter asked him, well, would it bother you to know that what you learned, that you're wrong?
00:20:16.000 And the kid answered back and he said, no, because I learned in Mrs. Hill's class.
00:20:22.000 I don't know if her name was actually Mrs. Hill, but I learned in Mrs. Hill's class that it doesn't really matter what you know.
00:20:27.000 It really matters how you feel.
00:20:28.000 And they made a really good, a really good time.
00:20:31.000 I've had a really good semester.
00:20:32.000 She's our favorite teacher because she made us realize the importance of how we feel.
00:20:36.000 And I think that that is so emblematic to the times that we live.
00:20:39.000 Like you have an English teacher that's more concerned with how these children feel than saying, but actually, this isn't proper English.
00:20:45.000 And for some of the teachers, I feel bad for because they're also under siege, right?
00:20:49.000 So the Georgetown professor who you're bringing up who just got fired for accurately saying in the Zoom call that every time she looks at the students that are at the bottom of her class, they all happen to be black.
00:20:59.000 Well, we should be able to talk about that.
00:21:01.000 We should be able to have an open discussion and say, why are black students failing more than their white counterparts?
00:21:06.000 And maybe it's because we're putting in place laws like they have in California, rules that you can't fail black students because they're late.
00:21:13.000 That punctuality is a form of white supremacy.
00:21:16.000 We have a culture issue that's problematic.
00:21:18.000 We know when we talk about Cardi B, little Nas X and the Z issues, there are tons of reasons that we could talk about that perhaps black Americans culturally with the highest single motherhood rate in the nation are not doing as well as their white peers.
00:21:31.000 But instead, we call that professor who brought up a fact racist.
00:21:34.000 We fire her as they did.
00:21:36.000 And the conversation gets swept under the rug.
00:21:38.000 One of the professors, they've said that, and it's been a controversy.
00:21:42.000 And Seoul, he had a great chapter on this in discrimination and disparities as well, where he talked about different forms of privilege.
00:21:50.000 And how many people here are taught that there's white privilege in your school?
00:21:53.000 Raise your hand.
00:21:54.000 Okay, so almost every hand goes up.
00:21:55.000 The fact that your hand isn't going up, go to that school, or probably homeschooled.
00:22:01.000 We need more homeschooling kids in our country.
00:22:03.000 I agree.
00:22:03.000 We need to double our homeschooling population.
00:22:06.000 And so what you're getting at, Candace, and I want to continue on this.
00:22:11.000 It's so important and so thoughtful, is that a disparity can be blamed on a lot more than just discrimination.
00:22:19.000 Right.
00:22:20.000 For example, if anyone here is the oldest child, do you guys know that it is statistically proven that the oldest child is more likely to succeed in every sort of fashion than the younger children, middle child or youngest child?
00:22:34.000 Anyone here, an only child?
00:22:36.000 Only children are way more likely to succeed than all of you.
00:22:40.000 That's a disparity without a discrimination.
00:22:43.000 Right.
00:22:43.000 Right.
00:22:44.000 And that, and that is so true.
00:22:45.000 There are so many disparities.
00:22:46.000 And I guess, you know, to really speak to your point, I have two sisters and one brother, and we're all doing different things in our life.
00:22:52.000 You know, we grew up in the same household, the same parents, grew up in the same environment with all of the same advantages in life, and yet There are still disparities.
00:22:59.000 Some of us are more successful than the other.
00:23:01.000 My sister's better at math than me.
00:23:03.000 I'm better at English and reading than her.
00:23:05.000 And so the idea that you can look at data and then just say, well, this just proves that there's white supremacy or that there it's, it's, it's, it's so intellectually dishonest.
00:23:14.000 It's almost a form of intellectual cowardice.
00:23:16.000 And also, just to comment on this concept of white privilege, again, this didn't exist when I was in school.
00:23:22.000 We were never told we talked about white privilege and we were never singled out in that way.
00:23:26.000 Like it's weird to me because I had friends of every color.
00:23:29.000 I would have it would have been bizarre if suddenly I had a teacher trying to convince me.
00:23:34.000 Really, what you're saying with white privilege is that this student is more privileged than you.
00:23:38.000 You're telling me that I have to accept that I'm underprivileged, and that's a form of racism.
00:23:42.000 The very definition of racism is assigning attributes to a group of people based on their skin color.
00:23:47.000 Well, what's more racist than saying that white people are all privileged?
00:23:51.000 And so that's a great point.
00:23:55.000 And Candace, I want you to help build this out more because they view racism as a power struggle, not as one individual being racist against the other.
00:24:03.000 I'm sure some people that go to some of these local schools here are taught that capitalism, private property, Western civilization, no matter what you do, you are then a defender of a white supremacist construct, which is why they call you a white supremacist.
00:24:17.000 Yeah, and so you really have to think critically about this.
00:24:19.000 Like, what's the point of that?
00:24:20.000 Like, why are they doing this?
00:24:22.000 Like, why is your generation having to go through so many divisionary tactics?
00:24:27.000 Like, this just didn't happen.
00:24:28.000 Everyone, they want to be so divisive.
00:24:30.000 They want you to think sexuality, race, training you psychologically to see things this way, and this is just not the way the world has been.
00:24:38.000 And in my personal estimation, it's because there's a real concerted effort to render America weaker, right?
00:24:47.000 So when I say that the truth is that there's never been this many dumb people that are convinced they know so much because they have so many degrees.
00:24:56.000 And when you look at what the degrees are, like you guys can get degrees now.
00:25:00.000 I looked it up, Latin X study.
00:25:02.000 First off, what the hell is Latin X?
00:25:04.000 Period.
00:25:05.000 Like, was it Latinx?
00:25:06.000 I don't know.
00:25:07.000 And by the way, whoever created that doesn't speak Spanish because you'd have to redo the entire Spanish language.
00:25:13.000 Everything is a woman or a man in Spanish.
00:25:15.000 You know, la mesa, you know, la, I mean, El or la is everything, every object in Spanish.
00:25:21.000 So you're basically saying we just have to undo the entire Spanish language, not just Spanish language, all romance languages function that way.
00:25:29.000 But that didn't exist again 10 years ago.
00:25:31.000 You can get a major in gender studies.
00:25:33.000 That should be pretty easy.
00:25:34.000 There's only two.
00:25:34.000 That should take a class maybe five minutes in kindergarten, but I guess people are majoring in that.
00:25:42.000 You got women's studies.
00:25:43.000 There was a course called Social Justice and Civic Responsibility.
00:25:47.000 I don't even know what that means or why you can get a major in that, but I do know that if you do get a major in that, you are not going to make any money in life because it's not a real major.
00:25:56.000 It's made up, okay?
00:25:57.000 It's made up.
00:25:58.000 And the kids don't know this.
00:25:59.000 So to me, I feel bad when I come across college students because there's propaganda.
00:26:06.000 You're learning that this is real and this is reality.
00:26:08.000 And then you're going to get out into the real world after saying, I took gender studies for four years.
00:26:12.000 And you're going to realize there's not a job for that, right?
00:26:15.000 There's not a way for you to make money.
00:26:16.000 And what that creates then is a bitter, angry person because you go, but I've got six degrees.
00:26:22.000 And why is this idiot kid talking about, you know, the rest of America who went to a trade school, didn't rack up any debt, and is making more money than me fixing air conditioners because he actually knows something.
00:26:37.000 And those students turn into the ultimate activists.
00:26:40.000 So when you wonder, who are these people that are burning the streets for six weeks?
00:26:43.000 Who has the time for this?
00:26:44.000 Well, unemployed people, you know, because they don't know what to do with feminist dance theory degree.
00:26:53.000 Everybody's mom always said, eat all of your vegetables.
00:26:56.000 Even as adults, we still have excuses why we don't eat them.
00:26:59.000 People say they don't taste nice.
00:27:01.000 It's trouble to prepare.
00:27:02.000 Your mom wanted you to eat your fruits and veggies because she knew that's how we stay and get healthy.
00:27:08.000 While your mom never listened to your excuses, Balance of Nature has listened.
00:27:12.000 All 10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables are in six small capsules.

00:27:41.000 Call 800-2468-751 or go to balanceofnature.com and use the discount code Charlie.
00:27:51.000 On top of all of it, Candace, they're also arrogant.
00:27:55.000 So not only are they bitter, but they think they know everything.
00:27:58.000 That's the point.
00:27:59.000 That's why you give them so many degrees.
00:28:01.000 I mean, you probably saw that moment when I had to testify against white supremacy.
00:28:05.000 And I had the two white women next to me, and they were just teaching me how they had degrees on white supremacy.
00:28:12.000 And I needed to listen to them.
00:28:13.000 And I had to literally remind them that I was black, right?
00:28:16.000 There's no degree that you can, I don't care how many classes you took.
00:28:21.000 You know, she was at, she had a doctorate in white supremacy.
00:28:23.000 I was like, what is that?
00:28:24.000 What do you like?
00:28:25.000 What do you mean you have a doctorate in white supremacy, right?
00:28:28.000 What are you doing with that degree?
00:28:29.000 Well, she's lecturing a black woman on what she's going through in life.
00:28:32.000 Candace, I have a doctorate.
00:28:34.000 Let me tell you what you are going through as a black person.
00:28:37.000 And they really believe that.
00:28:39.000 They are so arrogant.
00:28:40.000 The confidence that comes from degrees.
00:28:43.000 And that is the reason for that is that you insert these blue-haired, purple-haired people all throughout, you know, American corporations.
00:28:50.000 And I apologize in advance, the lighting's low.
00:28:52.000 Anybody?
00:28:57.000 But, you know, and that these are the woke corporations.
00:29:00.000 These are the kids that are storming into the CEO's office and saying, you know, making demands about what they want.
00:29:05.000 I mean, let me tell you, working for me, it's the quickest way to get fired.
00:29:10.000 I built myself from the ground up so I could have a woke activist storm into my room and tell me how to run my company.
00:29:17.000 These kids are arrogant and bratty.
00:29:20.000 And what happens on these college campuses doesn't stay there.
00:29:25.000 It goes to corporate boardrooms, the halls of Congress, which is exactly what you're talking about.
00:29:29.000 It's this pipeline from the university campuses straight to the halls of influence of our country.
00:29:35.000 And the underlying philosophy behind a lot of this, which is something that we really have to pinpoint, it's rooted in ingratitude.
00:29:43.000 That everything that came before me is terrible and awful and I must tear it down.
00:29:47.000 And when you do not have an appreciation to at least pursue truth or think that there's something beautiful or wonderful in the world, well, then I would be pretty angry too.
00:29:58.000 And you know what's so amazing is that the left, they're in control of almost everything.
00:30:02.000 Do you notice how angry they are?
00:30:04.000 We're happier than they are and we control nothing.
00:30:07.000 We're the happiest, we're the happiest losers we've ever seen.
00:30:10.000 These people are so angry.
00:30:12.000 I turn on CNN.
00:30:13.000 I've never seen such angry winners.
00:30:14.000 You know, the Don Lemon is screwing, the guy's screaming.
00:30:17.000 And I say, you won.
00:30:19.000 You're angry all the time.
00:30:21.000 And this is why.
00:30:22.000 It's because the only thing worse than losing is winning temporarily, knowing you're not going to win forever.
00:30:30.000 It's the only thing worse than losing.
00:30:33.000 So deep down, they know that decent people are going to rise up against this drivel and this nonsense.
00:30:39.000 And deep down that the only power grab that they think they can execute is through the woke industrial complex, through HR1, through the voting laws, through all of this.
00:30:50.000 And they really are going all in.
00:30:52.000 And I truly believe this, and I don't say it lightly, on trying to start a race war in our country.
00:30:57.000 Well, what they're always after, what the Democrats are always after is power.
00:31:01.000 And you'll always see this.
00:31:03.000 Whenever they call something racist, you should just assume that it's something that's standing in their way.
00:31:08.000 And it's a form of racism when they do that, because what they're saying, and I genuinely believe this, they think that black people are stupid and emotional.
00:31:16.000 And they try to make sure black people are stupid and emotional by teaching them nothing in school but how to be emotional and know nothing else outside of, oh, every time you go through anything, it's because you're a victim of white supremacy.
00:31:28.000 So you're producing these black kids who are failing at a higher rate than white students, and yet they're so sure that it's because of white supremacy.
00:31:35.000 So these people then, every time they hear the word racist or white supremacist, the Democrats expect them, the left expects them to run out and attack whatever it is, right?
00:31:44.000 So right now you're seeing this with Georgia, rightfully passing a bill saying that we should have IDs to vote.
00:31:51.000 I mean, this is so common sense.
00:31:56.000 But for whatever reason, even though the Democrats were above board in the last election, they did not cheat at all, right?
00:32:03.000 For whatever reason, they really don't want voter ID in the next election, right?
00:32:08.000 So what do they do?
00:32:08.000 They call voter ID racist.
00:32:10.000 They say that, you know, a lot of minorities, black people, don't have access to get a license.
00:32:15.000 And this to me is, talk about the bigotry of low expectations.
00:32:19.000 Do you think black people are so stupid that we don't know how to Google DMV near me?
00:32:24.000 You know, I mean, I don't know a single black person that doesn't have an ID because you can't do anything in society.
00:32:31.000 That would mean we're not driving cars.
00:32:34.000 We've never booked a hotel.
00:32:35.000 We've never rented a car.
00:32:36.000 We never bought a car.
00:32:38.000 We never opened a bank account, right?
00:32:40.000 I mean, you need an ID for virtually everything in life.
00:32:43.000 So it is so insulting to me when people look at me and just assume, oh, well, you know, that must be something you can't do.
00:32:49.000 And I just say to you, like, that is the true implicit biases and racism that they hold in their hearts is that black people are just too dumb to figure out basic things.
00:33:00.000 I totally agree.
00:33:01.000 And now they should be forced to answer: are black people not supposed to get these ridiculous vaccine passports?
00:33:06.000 Yeah.
00:33:06.000 I know.
00:33:07.000 Are those racist?
00:33:08.000 Vaccine IDs are not racist somehow?
00:33:11.000 So all we have to do is pass a law that says that you need your vaccine ID to go vote.
00:33:15.000 So then all of a sudden, what are they going to say?
00:33:17.000 Like if you either need the vaccine ID or you have the voter ID.
00:33:21.000 Are they racist?
00:33:21.000 Are they not?
00:33:22.000 I know, exactly.
00:33:23.000 I mean, so it's, that's also, they're never making any sense.
00:33:26.000 So on the one hand, they're pushing that every single person should be mandated to have a vaccine and should have ID.
00:33:31.000 And they don't want you to think that's racist.
00:33:33.000 And on the other hand, voter ID would be completely racist.
00:33:36.000 And we can see through this.
00:33:38.000 They know what they're saying is foolish, but they're hoping that if they just keep calling it racist, it'll inspire enough blind hatred and anger that people will attack it and it will go away.
00:33:47.000 And so I always place a challenge on black Americans.
00:33:51.000 Whenever you hear the word racist, I always say stop and think of why that person is using that word racist, why they're calling it racist, because they're actually trying to get you to be emotional.
00:34:01.000 And the best thing you can do in those moments is to pause and to think rationally and clearly and ask somebody to explain to you specifically what it is about this that you believe is racist.
00:34:12.000 And so, Candace, can you talk about the biggest threats to the black community or biggest challenges facing the black community?
00:34:18.000 We are told it's racism, racism, racism, racism.
00:34:20.000 There's a lot.
00:34:21.000 So, first and foremost, I would say, and this is not just the black community, it's to America.
00:34:25.000 It's the education system.
00:34:27.000 And that's why, you know, I stopped doing college campus stops.
00:34:30.000 And I've realized the importance of me starting that back up because, I mean, a lot of these students just don't know how radical the American institutions have become.
00:34:39.000 And that is an implicit threat because they're not asking us to learn and we're not functioning under our meritocracy.
00:34:45.000 Even affirmative action, that's a racist policy.
00:34:48.000 And by the way, it's not only a racist policy, it's hurting black people.
00:34:52.000 Nobody talks about this.
00:34:53.000 Nobody knows this.
00:34:54.000 So this is another different Thomas Hull book, but he talks about a time that he was at Cornell.
00:35:00.000 He was as an adjunct professor teaching at Cornell.
00:35:03.000 And I think it was Thomas Hull, it might have been Shelby Steele, but I believe it was Thomas Hull teaching as an adjunct professor.
00:35:10.000 And he learned that all of the black students were on academic probation.
00:35:14.000 Cornell's a great school.
00:35:15.000 A lot of smart kids go here.
00:35:16.000 So he went to go investigate.
00:35:17.000 And it turned out that all of those black students were at Cornell because of affirmative action.
00:35:22.000 So they weren't actually qualified to be at that school.
00:35:25.000 Mind you, they were still brilliant kids.
00:35:27.000 I mean, Cornell is a very difficult school.
00:35:28.000 If they had gone to any other school that they were actually qualified to be at based on their test scores, they would have been at the top of their class.
00:35:35.000 But because they were forced into a school, not on the basis of what they knew, they were at the bottom of their class and dropping and failing out.
00:35:41.000 This has been proven across the board with affirmative action.
00:35:44.000 It's why Thomas Clarence Thomas wrote a wonderful dissent and said that we need to stop this policy.
00:35:50.000 It's harming black people.
00:35:51.000 But guess what?
00:35:52.000 It feels good for the professors when they say, oh, we do affirmative action.
00:35:56.000 So nobody actually cares to explore the data and the facts behind what's ultimately a racist policy.
00:36:01.000 So coddling, that's one thing that's harming black America.
00:36:04.000 And I put that under the umbrella of white guilt, why people are like jumping around to like make, you know, roll out a red carpet.
00:36:10.000 And, you know, if you really view black people as your equal, view us as your equals.
00:36:14.000 Let's compete the same.
00:36:15.000 Let's do things the same.
00:36:17.000 You know, let's both get into school schools that we deserve to get into.
00:36:20.000 That would be, that'd be great.
00:36:21.000 Let's start with equality.
00:36:24.000 And then, of course, there's the corrosion that is lingering from the welfare policies of the 1960s and the civil rights, the civil end of the beginning, sorry, the end of the civil rights era and the Great Society Act, which basically just inspired black men and women to tear their families apart.
00:36:41.000 You know, the government said, we'll give you more money if the father of your children is not home.
00:36:47.000 So black women stop getting married.
00:36:49.000 And we know the statistics.
00:36:50.000 You fare better in life if you are in a two-parent home.
00:36:54.000 You know, that's just another fact that we're not addressing.
00:36:56.000 And on top of that, and this really comes internally, you know, in terms of black Americas, we have an incredibly toxic culture.
00:37:03.000 People say to me all the time, Candice, you don't understand black culture.
00:37:06.000 You don't follow black music.
00:37:07.000 And I say, you actually got fooled because this is not what black culture was.
00:37:11.000 It's been completely poisoned.
00:37:13.000 We're talking about music like WAP and just a couple of decades ago, it was the temptations.
00:37:19.000 It was music about family love and faith.
00:37:22.000 You know, our society and our culture is toxic and it's become perverted.
00:37:27.000 And we need to address those ills honestly and have discussion about them rather than claiming this to be our culture.
00:37:34.000 It's not our culture.
00:37:35.000 Baby mama culture is not black culture.
00:37:37.000 That's Democrat culture.
00:37:39.000 And that started in the 1960s.
00:37:42.000 And so I want to get to some questions in a second, but I want to talk about the real life implications of this.
00:37:49.000 The Air Force just came out and they said that there are too many white pilots.
00:37:53.000 Yeah, if I'm China and I see that tweet, I'm just like, America's really, it was just so embarrassing.
00:37:59.000 It's just, it is, our obsession with race embarrasses me globally.
00:38:03.000 You know, it just, I have to say, it's embarrassing.
00:38:06.000 You know what I mean?
00:38:06.000 Like, you got people in China.
00:38:08.000 They're running a masculinity program in China.
00:38:10.000 I don't know if you know that.
00:38:11.000 You can read that in the BBC.
00:38:13.000 They want their men to be more masculine.
00:38:14.000 At the same time, in America, we can't figure out what bathroom to go into.
00:38:18.000 And we're like, oh, we need men to be less masculine.
00:38:21.000 And you need to realize this game we're playing in America, people are paying attention all around the world.
00:38:27.000 And we're corroding from the inside out.
00:38:30.000 And it's because we no longer have a society that values strong men and decent women.
00:38:36.000 So let's focus on that.
00:38:38.000 You were attacked by some celebrities, and you did a wonderful job responding.
00:38:44.000 When you say that there are only two genders and that women should get married and have children, lots of children, talk about that.
00:38:52.000 Yeah, I mean, it's these things, you know, they work.
00:38:55.000 Tradition works, and that's one of the things that you realize the more you travel in America is that there's something that people in the middle, everywhere, you know, between LA and New York, that they're really getting right.
00:39:06.000 And family is the number one thing that people are really getting right.
00:39:10.000 And people tend to think that if you're a woman that believes that women should get married and have children, that somehow means that the patriarchy is tying you down.
00:39:19.000 No, it doesn't.
00:39:20.000 It's just that you will eventually realize, especially to young women, I talk about this all the time, that feminism is putting you on a path to make you miserable.
00:39:27.000 To tell you that you should compete with men goes against your biology, you know, it goes against your biology first and foremost.
00:39:33.000 There are biological underpinnings to everything that we do.
00:39:37.000 You know, and that it does happen.
00:39:39.000 You're not going to believe it.
00:39:39.000 You know, you're younger, in your 20s, but you start to get in your mid-20s and this the biological clock, you hear it really you just start going.
00:39:45.000 You know I want to have a family.
00:39:47.000 You know, when you look back on your life, I promise you nobody on their deathbed ever said I wish I just went into the office for one more hour.
00:39:54.000 You know, it's all about family.
00:39:56.000 It's all about the moments you probably wish you worked less.
00:39:59.000 It's the stuff that really makes life worth living and it's it's been, the greatest and most beautiful chapter of my life, finding a husband and having my first child.
00:40:08.000 And I second and third that.
00:40:11.000 And Eric and I are getting married May 8th, which we're very excited about, fiance.
00:40:19.000 And it seems as if that sort of tradition is under attack time and time again because there's an agenda behind it.
00:40:26.000 The agenda is that family, strong families.
00:40:30.000 That is a hedge against government assistance.
00:40:32.000 It's a hedge against being controlled by a centralized authority.
00:40:36.000 A despot becomes a lot less powerful when families are strong.
00:40:41.000 You see totalitarians, they always try to destroy the bond between parents and their children, always.
00:40:48.000 It is the only commandment in the 10 Commandments where there's a promise in it, honor your mother and father, so that you may live long and prosperous in the land of which you are in.
00:40:58.000 There's a reason for that, the family is the bedrock of every single civil society.
00:41:03.000 Candace, I want to ask one last thing, and then we'll get to questions, um, talk about your new show, which is very, very exciting, and then also talk about you know, and i'm sure we'll get some questions on this what people can do.
00:41:14.000 It's the number one question we get on our podcast and on our radio show, what can I do?
00:41:18.000 I feel helpless.
00:41:18.000 What can I do?
00:41:19.000 I feel helpless.
00:41:20.000 What are your marching orders for what people can do?
00:41:24.000 Yeah, so I think I can kind of combine the answers to both those questions.
00:41:27.000 First and foremost I, we fight back for culture.
00:41:29.000 This is the war that we're in you we, we have to start winning the culture wars.
00:41:33.000 And obviously, for people maybe obviously not everybody in this room is conservative, but you do realize that we've been boxed out of culture.
00:41:39.000 Everything on tv is done at our expense.
00:41:42.000 You know they're making fun of conservatives all the time and we're largely saying that we don't exist like we're some.
00:41:47.000 You know, minute part of America uh, when we're, when we're so much larger, and one of the things that you can do is to stop being the silent majority and just Be the majority, right?
00:41:57.000 Speak up.
00:42:01.000 And I say this people all the time: you know, what they're doing in so many ways is illegal, especially white people that are being openly discriminated against.
00:42:09.000 I can't fathom the stuff that I see, the articles that I see written, and the incentives that I see get being written against white people, and people don't understand that it's racism.
00:42:18.000 I mean, like, there was an article on BuzzFeed that said white people just need to shut up, right?
00:42:23.000 And I'm just, I always say to play the game, I just close my eyes and I imagine just replace the word white with black.
00:42:28.000 Imagine an article that just said black people need to shut up.
00:42:31.000 Every time you read something in your textbook, just switch it and ask your professors.
00:42:36.000 You know, if this said black people need to, would you be comfortable with that?
00:42:39.000 And if their answer is no, it's because it's just racist.
00:42:41.000 There's no such thing as reverse racism.
00:42:43.000 It's just open racism, right?
00:42:47.000 And for the people that I know that say it's difficult, you know, being in a corporate environment and saying, well, I want to keep my job, I promise you, I promise you.
00:42:56.000 There are corporations that are begging to hire conservatives because they're so tired of woketopia USA.
00:43:03.000 When one door closes, another one opens.
00:43:05.000 And when you commit yourself to something that matters morally, the universe will conspire to assist you.
00:43:12.000 Want to talk about your show?
00:43:14.000 Oh, new show, The Daily Wire, called Candace.
00:43:17.000 Very excited about that.
00:43:20.000 Right now, you have to subscribe at the DailyWire.com.
00:43:23.000 And again, we're just taking back culture, you know, doing interviews, doing a panel, and having a lot of fun.
00:43:29.000 So it's a big step, I think, in the right direction to just say, you know, we're conservative and we're going to have a show because everything that you guys are doing on TV sucks and it's not funny.
00:43:40.000 And there's a, and that's a whole different interesting conversation.
00:43:44.000 There's a reason why they're not funny.
00:43:45.000 In order to be funny, you must be unafraid to pursue truth because that which is funny actually confirms something that you see that is true.
00:43:53.000 And the left is unable to pursue truth, so they've lost humor.
00:43:56.000 So their late night comedy shows are nothing more than audiences that applaud at them with their MSNBC one-liners while they're going after Donald Trump and they have no humor.
00:44:04.000 And they're angry.
00:44:05.000 Very angry.
00:44:06.000 And they're angry because they have no wisdom.
00:44:09.000 You show me a happy man and a joyful man.
00:44:11.000 I'll show you a wise person.
00:44:12.000 And they have no wisdom because they have no God.
00:44:15.000 The fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom.
00:44:17.000 Never forget that.
00:44:18.000 Okay.
00:44:18.000 So true.
00:44:19.000 Let's get to some questions.
00:44:21.000 That's always fun.
00:44:22.000 And while people are, I don't know how we're doing logistics.
00:44:25.000 For this one, I think we have one line.
00:44:27.000 Morgan will be in charge.
00:44:28.000 And Candace, it's so much fun to be doing this.
00:44:30.000 I know.
00:44:31.000 Back on stage.
00:44:32.000 I'm so excited.
00:44:33.000 It's terrific.
00:44:34.000 All right.
00:44:34.000 We'll get to some right there.
00:44:35.000 Raise your hand, please.
00:44:37.000 And just line up if you guys have some questions, and we'll do that there.
00:44:41.000 And it's an honor to be here, guys.
00:44:44.000 It's terrific.
00:44:45.000 Also, make them, we want to get to as many as we can.
00:44:48.000 And so make them questions.
00:44:50.000 Yeah, guys, try to make the questions quick because we do want to get to as many as we can.
00:44:54.000 I always feel bad when the person has been in line the whole time.
00:44:56.000 They were like, sorry, you got any questions?
00:44:58.000 All right, here we go.
00:45:00.000 Hello.
00:45:00.000 Hi.
00:45:01.000 My sister, she goes to a college that has starred Delaney definitely more left since the George Floyd event.
00:45:08.000 And she was wondering what your advice would be for college students that have been kicked out of their sororities and fraternities for their political views and standing up for their beliefs and the schools just acting like it's not even happening.
00:45:22.000 The one thing I always say, you guys know this, I'm like so litigious.
00:45:25.000 Until these schools start feeling it in their pockets and people start lawyering up and creating a fund for this stuff and going after these universities that are funded by us, right?
00:45:34.000 It's never going to end.
00:45:35.000 So I always say the bravest thing you can do is to stand is to stand up, speak out.
00:45:40.000 And I'm not kidding, these universities have to start getting sued for discrimination.
00:45:48.000 And I'll add to that really quick.
00:45:51.000 There is a cost to being courageous.
00:45:54.000 We don't teach children courage anymore, mainly because we've removed all the courageous people of our history.
00:46:00.000 The best way to teach somebody is to show them someone who did it before you.
00:46:04.000 And so, what is courage?
00:46:05.000 It's a great question.
00:46:06.000 Most young people can't answer it.
00:46:08.000 Courage is doing the right thing when you don't know how it's going to work out.
00:46:12.000 So, the ultimate picture of courage in the 20th century is storming Normandy Beach, doing the right thing.
00:46:18.000 You have no idea if you're about to get a bullet in the head.
00:46:20.000 That was courage.
00:46:22.000 Trust me, whatever you're going through pales in comparison to the greatest generation of that sacrifice is there.
00:46:27.000 I'm not minimizing the social pressure, getting out of fraternities or sororities, but until our generation, our country starts to weigh the right and the good over the cost, they're going to win.
00:46:41.000 As soon as people start saying, I'm willing to bear the burden of doing the correct thing, that's when things will start to get better.
00:46:48.000 So, thank you so much for your question.
00:46:54.000 Hello, my name is Casey Bilski.
00:46:56.000 I'm from West Virginia University.
00:46:58.000 Our chapter, I run the meetings, and we have what cancel culture, cancel culture took from us this week.
00:47:04.000 I fill it up a whole slide.
00:47:06.000 And with that being said, a lot of our members are canceling things from the left, such as Coca-Cola, shopping at Target, things like that.
00:47:13.000 When does that become too much?
00:47:15.000 Because we're still, as conservatives, taking part in cancel culture if we're cutting out the left.
00:47:20.000 I do it myself as well.
00:47:22.000 I mean, I won't even wear Levi jeans, but when is it too much?
00:47:26.000 I would draw a difference between cancer culture and free market capitalism.
00:47:30.000 Saying I'm not going to spend money here is not canceling Coca-Cola.
00:47:33.000 Coca-Cola can still exist, so they're going to make consequences for their opinions.
00:47:37.000 Canceling someone is what happened when Gina Carano got fired, right, because she voiced her opinion about something and she was a conservative.
00:47:44.000 That's saying you're no longer allowed to exist, right, as a human being because of your political beliefs.
00:47:49.000 So, that's, I don't, I don't view those things.
00:47:51.000 Deciding where you're going to spend your money is your right in a free market society.
00:47:55.000 And the corporations face consequences for decisions that they make.
00:47:58.000 I'll never buy a pair of Nike sneakers again.
00:48:00.000 But I didn't say that Nike shouldn't be allowed to sell sneakers.
00:48:04.000 So, there's a difference there.
00:48:06.000 I completely agree with Candace.
00:48:08.000 It's a good question.
00:48:09.000 On the surface, it looks like the same thing, but it's two completely different things.
00:48:12.000 Let me tell you why.
00:48:13.000 No conservative picketed outside of Nike or Coca-Cola or went to their HR department or said, if you don't do this, I'm going to do that.
00:48:23.000 Instead, we said, we're not going to buy stuff.
00:48:26.000 Like, whoa, okay.
00:48:27.000 That's individualism.
00:48:28.000 Totally.
00:48:28.000 And it's using the pressures of choice and consumer markets to our advantage.
00:48:33.000 What they do is way worse than that.
00:48:35.000 They'll go to Coca-Cola.
00:48:37.000 Not just Coca-Cola, they'll go to their shareholders.
00:48:39.000 They'll file lawsuits.
00:48:40.000 They will humanize and personalize this in a way like never before.
00:48:44.000 Yeah, if we were calling for Nike, just to reiterate, if we were calling for Nike to be shut down and never to be allowed to sell shoes again, that would be canceled culture.
00:48:53.000 Me not buying a pair of Nike's is my right as an individual.
00:48:55.000 I'm not forced to buy, spend money there, so I don't do it.
00:48:58.000 We're both wearing Adidas.
00:48:59.000 Yeah, and I would have been fine, by the way, with Gina Carano.
00:49:02.000 If people said, I'm not going to go see her film, fine.
00:49:05.000 You don't have to go see her film.
00:49:06.000 That's your decision.
00:49:08.000 And you should be more power to you.
00:49:09.000 But to make sure she loses her part, that's cancel culture.
00:49:12.000 And let me say one other thing, which is that we as conservatives and Americans, please purchase in alignment with your values.
00:49:21.000 Please.
00:49:22.000 Everything you buy, all of your expenditures must be a mirror of your value system.
00:49:28.000 For example, limit your purchases of meaningless plastic and textiles from China.
00:49:33.000 Buy stuff in America when you can.
00:49:35.000 Take care of your fellow countrymen.
00:49:37.000 Demand that your textiles are made here when possible.
00:49:40.000 Something that my fiancé does with her wonderful clothing line.
00:49:42.000 Also, when it comes to these massive tech companies, if you don't have to have these subscriptions, cancel these subscriptions.
00:49:49.000 Here to tell you, for all the new parents out there, there are other places for entertainment than Disney PLUS for your children to be able to find content.
00:49:58.000 So try to have your purchasing and the where you spend your money congruent with what your belief system is.
00:50:04.000 Thank you, thank you.
00:50:11.000 By now you've all heard me talk about how my pillow is incredible.

00:51:02.000 Hello, my name is Seth Burgone.
00:51:04.000 I go to Bethany College.
00:51:06.000 You actually wrote an article on us earlier this week.
00:51:10.000 Yeah, and the school has canceled me on campus and I was just wondering.
00:51:16.000 I've been called a white supremacist by multiple like teachers.
00:51:20.000 How do I prove them wrong and what do you have to say about that?
00:51:24.000 I didn't hear the background story, so I'm gonna let Charlie answer this first.
00:51:26.000 I didn't write the article yeah, why don't you tell the audience the background of it, all the specific specifics?
00:51:31.000 So the school told me that I couldn't protest or not protest, but petition on campus or protest, while their policies state that I can.
00:51:40.000 And they just told me just not even to try to have a turning point USA chapter on campus and they're just cowards and they don't want to hear anything.
00:51:49.000 So, so freedom of speech isn't allowed on campus, really.
00:51:52.000 So I must be missing something.
00:51:54.000 Where does the white supremacist thing come into all this teachers?
00:51:57.000 I've been told by multiple teachers that are conservative that teachers that are liberal have called me a white supremacist on campus.
00:52:05.000 So I'll start with this.
00:52:07.000 And Candace said, you know, love your wisdom on it.
00:52:09.000 Here's the problem is that it's impossible to not impossible, it's almost.
00:52:14.000 It's basically impossible to disprove an accusation because, in the sense of like, how are you supposed to prove how good of a person you are.
00:52:21.000 As soon as it's the act, it's it's guilty until proven, until proven innocent, and of course you're not that.
00:52:26.000 But as soon as that's on you, you feel like you're on defense, and so instead, I believe the best way to possibly push back against it is not just say no, but throw it right back at them is say no.
00:52:38.000 You're the bigot for not wanting a turning point USA chapter at my college.
00:52:42.000 You're the one that's afraid of other ideas.
00:52:44.000 This will not stop until we return their force with some sort of a countermeasure like this.
00:52:51.000 Idea that we can have this like decent policy discussion meanwhile they're calling you a KKK member is insane to me.
00:52:57.000 Like that, you're having a policy discussion.
00:52:59.000 They're having a value discussion right, We think they're wrong.
00:53:03.000 They think you're a bad person.
00:53:05.000 And until we start to actually push back against that, I don't think we're going to be able to get to a place where we're ever going to get anything meaningfully accomplished.
00:53:13.000 Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine that that's not a form of discrimination to say that one group of people is allowed to have their political beliefs represented and the other group isn't.
00:53:21.000 And I attend, and I'll tell you this, you get a lawyer to fire off one letter and you'll probably have your organization tomorrow.
00:53:27.000 They don't like pressure.
00:53:28.000 They just never get it from conservatives.
00:53:30.000 Plain and simple.
00:53:31.000 It's been two weeks since a lawyer sent something to them and they have yet to respond.
00:53:35.000 Yeah, well, they're going to respond eventually because that would be a demand, right?
00:53:38.000 Yeah, it's the demands have time expirations before you're allowed to take legal action.
00:53:42.000 They'll respond.
00:53:43.000 Yeah.
00:53:43.000 100% they'll respond because they have to.
00:53:46.000 It's a university, like I said, they accept federal money.
00:53:48.000 So they are beholden, you know, you can't just discriminate against students.
00:53:53.000 They're private, but they do have federal loans.
00:53:55.000 Oh, they're private.
00:53:56.000 No, no, but they take federal student loans.
00:53:57.000 Taxes are not.
00:53:58.000 Yeah, private, there can be loopholes over private because if it's a private school, they're not.
00:54:02.000 They take federal student loans.
00:54:04.000 Yeah, and remind me of the college again.
00:54:06.000 Bethany College.
00:54:08.000 Unless it's Hillsdale, they're getting federally subsidized student loans.
00:54:11.000 And so Hillsdale is a great school.
00:54:13.000 They're one of the only ones that don't take those federally subsidized loans.
00:54:17.000 And the other thing is this, is make more noise.
00:54:19.000 Get more people involved.
00:54:20.000 They don't like the attention.
00:54:22.000 They don't.
00:54:23.000 They really don't.
00:54:23.000 Universities hate attention.
00:54:25.000 So I mean, I'm sorry I don't know more specifics about your thing, about your particular case, but I think the fact that your lawyers already sent a demand means that you're doing the most that you can possibly do.
00:54:34.000 And hopefully just asking this question will help amplify what happened.
00:54:37.000 Great.
00:54:37.000 Thank you.
00:54:38.000 Thank you.
00:54:43.000 Hello, my name is Gavin.
00:54:45.000 I'm 19 years old, and someday I want to be a politician.
00:54:49.000 And I tell many of my friends that, and they tell me, why don't you go to college for something like that?
00:54:54.000 And I don't really want to go to college because, I mean, it's not really a requirement whether you want to be a congressman or a mayor or anything.
00:55:01.000 And what is your advice to young people like me who want to hold a political future but don't want to go through college when it's not required?
00:55:10.000 Okay.
00:55:11.000 Well, before you say you want to be a politician, my advice would first say your desire should be to do good.
00:55:21.000 That should, and maybe it is, and maybe that's the way you classified it.
00:55:24.000 Let me just say, if your desire is to do good and you think you can do that the best through being a politician, then that's great.
00:55:31.000 I'm not saying this is you.
00:55:32.000 We have way too many professional politicians in this country.
00:55:35.000 And a politician is almost a dirty word, almost, in a way that it's almost exhausting.
00:55:41.000 So have your mission to want to do good for the world.
00:55:45.000 And you're right.
00:55:46.000 You don't need a college degree to do that.
00:55:49.000 It's how hard you work.
00:55:50.000 And most importantly, it's your character.
00:55:52.000 It's who you are.
00:55:54.000 So if you commit to yourself and you understand and you believe that your character is a reflection of your soul and the soul, in the sense of what you are, is going to be the culmination of every single decision you make, then nothing can stop you and a piece of paper is not necessary for that.
00:56:09.000 So focus on becoming a better person every single day, becoming wiser and smarter and more intelligent.
00:56:16.000 And guys, all of you have smartphones.
00:56:19.000 You can study six hours a day.
00:56:20.000 You could take online courses free of charge.
00:56:23.000 College is fine if you want to go learn a very specific skill.
00:56:28.000 I did not go to college and things worked out.
00:56:33.000 It's how you are.
00:56:34.000 It's what you do with it.
00:56:36.000 And the final thing I'll say is this, is that I am far less concerned about accreditation and more concerned about wisdom, which can be found in a couple different ways, definitely not in college.
00:56:48.000 And in what are you willing to do for the desired task?
00:56:52.000 I had a funny job interview once where I asked a young college graduate, I said, what's your skill?
00:56:56.000 He said, well, I have a political science degree from this college.
00:56:58.000 I said, no, no, what's your skill?
00:57:00.000 What can you do that an 18-year-old can't do?
00:57:02.000 And he said, I don't know.
00:57:04.000 I do politics.
00:57:05.000 I said, okay, well, I can tell you what.
00:57:06.000 If I brought a plumber in here, he has a skill that I don't have and I'm willing to pay him for it.
00:57:10.000 And guess what?
00:57:10.000 We need far more plumbers in our country and far less people going to Harvard learning to hate America.
00:57:15.000 There's more wisdom in the plumbing community than the Harvard professor community.
00:57:21.000 Couldn't agree more.
00:57:22.000 Okay, great.
00:57:23.000 Thank you.
00:57:23.000 Thank you.
00:57:27.000 Love the cowboy hat.
00:57:28.000 Thank you.
00:57:29.000 Hello, my name is Johnny Cole Murdock.
00:57:31.000 I'm a veteran and a student at Belmont University.
00:57:34.000 Thank you.
00:57:34.000 Thank you for your service, by the way.
00:57:36.000 I appreciate that.
00:57:38.000 Talking about culture, culture is important.
00:57:41.000 I call it a spiritual warfare, but that's like the secular term, the culture war.
00:57:45.000 But a lot of people don't know the music industry, just like Hollywood, is owned by China.
00:57:50.000 Warner recently got bought out 20% by a Chinese company.
00:57:54.000 So every major record label is owned by foreign governments.
00:57:58.000 Music is formative.
00:58:00.000 And it's important to change the culture by music because that kind of like, if you're taking that into your heart and singing it out, you know, people take that in.
00:58:07.000 So my question to Turning Point USA and the Daily Wire, would y'all ever consider having a record label to compete against the woke narrative?
00:58:15.000 Because music is formative and taking back America starts with taking back country music because there is nothing more American, Christian, and conservative than country music.
00:58:30.000 Foremost, I feel like I have to tell you, I'm a country music junkie.
00:58:33.000 I love country music.
00:58:34.000 It's the absolute best.
00:58:37.000 Secondly, I'm so happy to report that the Daily Wire is in fact opening its first record label.
00:58:46.000 And I don't even know that I had the, I don't even know if I that I had the permission to let that cat out of the bag, but whatever.
00:58:52.000 Jeremy, Ben, whatever.
00:58:54.000 Oops.
00:58:55.000 How dare you?
00:58:57.000 So yes, yes, yes, and it's happening.
00:59:00.000 I want to encourage you and add one thing to that.
00:59:03.000 The longest book of the Bible is a book of songs.
00:59:06.000 If you go back to the original Greek, worship means to come as close to the creator as you can, to literally kiss the sky is what the word worship comes from.
00:59:13.000 You all know this that are believers.
00:59:15.000 When you have a song, it's experiential.
00:59:18.000 There's something that can't be put into words.
00:59:19.000 One of the greatest ways that we are able to prove that there is a creator is when you have a room full of atheists and they say they listen to a piece of music that moves them.
00:59:28.000 There's something beyond anything that they couldn't put into words.
00:59:31.000 Let me just say one other point of this.
00:59:33.000 Oxford University is trying to get rid of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart.
00:59:37.000 Let me just say this.
00:59:38.000 Western music is the best music that's ever been created.
00:59:41.000 Some music is better than other music, and we should be unafraid to say that.
00:59:44.000 That the central canon that built the West should be preserved, protected, and understood.
00:59:49.000 So I want to encourage anyone that's in the music industry here because the amazing thing about music is how democratic, small D democratic it is.
00:59:57.000 It impacts everyone.
00:59:59.000 It is the least elitist thing you could possibly imagine.
01:00:02.000 From the person on the side of the street to the college professor, music touches everyone.
01:00:07.000 It's understandable.
01:00:08.000 It's accessible.
01:00:09.000 It's widespread.
01:00:10.000 It meshes into your spirit.
01:00:12.000 The lyrics that a child is singing today are the values they will live out tomorrow.
01:00:17.000 So I want to, I'm so glad you're doing the record labor.
01:00:20.000 It's amazing.
01:00:21.000 And I want to encourage you.
01:00:23.000 Wonderful.
01:00:23.000 Yeah.
01:00:24.000 Thank you so much, and I appreciate what you do.
01:00:26.000 Remember Johnny Cole Murdock for that record label?
01:00:29.000 I love that.
01:00:30.000 Such a good name.
01:00:30.000 I want to buy your album already.
01:00:32.000 Please do.
01:00:33.000 Johnny Cole Murdock.
01:00:34.000 God bless.
01:00:34.000 Thank you.
01:00:36.000 It's a great name.
01:00:43.000 Hi, Candace and Charlie.
01:00:44.000 It's super nice to finally meet you guys.
01:00:46.000 You guys are my daily news source.
01:00:49.000 I wanted to ask, I have been, I have experienced the undergrad bias my whole undergrad career, but now I want to be a lawyer and I'm going to be a lawyer and I want to go to a law school that gives me a degree that God is going to respect and a degree that people will respect.
01:01:04.000 I don't want to go somewhere like Harvard.
01:01:06.000 So I wanted to ask you all what you all thought about that.
01:01:09.000 And I also wanted to say to Candace, I saw your video with Katie Hopkins, and I also have epilepsy.
01:01:14.000 And I was going to ask if you all had any godly words of advice for me with somebody living with epilepsy since it's such a forgotten disease that nobody sort of remembers anymore.
01:01:24.000 Okay, so I'll answer your first question about saying that you don't want to go to Harvard for law school.
01:01:30.000 I mean, Harvard let David Hogg in.
01:01:32.000 Good.
01:01:32.000 You know, I mean, like, it's a free fall there.
01:01:34.000 It's just about the woke competition in Harvard.
01:01:37.000 You know, so this whole idea that Harvard is somehow the breadbasket of education is long gone.
01:01:43.000 You know, they're basically, how woke can you get?
01:01:45.000 Are you willing to work for, you know, how woke can you get and you get in?
01:01:48.000 So good for you.
01:01:49.000 Go somewhere sensible.
01:01:50.000 Go in Texas.
01:01:51.000 Find a place to go in Texas or Tennessee.
01:01:53.000 You know, don't spend a bunch of money for what's really going to be the same degree at the end of the day.
01:01:59.000 In regards to epilepsy, it was one of, it was such an impactful episode because she's just brilliant and she's funny.
01:02:05.000 And I hope that you were encouraged by that episode.
01:02:07.000 And you're right.
01:02:08.000 A lot of people don't talk about these conditions anymore because we're talking about a bunch of made-up ones, right?
01:02:13.000 And this is a real condition that impacts your entire life.
01:02:16.000 But I mean, I know that from watching that episode and seeing Katie Hopkins literally a piece of her skull missing and having her talk about that, I hope that it just teaches you, if anything, to persevere, that perseverance is a real thing.
01:02:30.000 And also that your mentality about what you have is everything.
01:02:34.000 It's absolutely everything.
01:02:36.000 If you hold the mentality despite what you're going through, that you're positive that things are going to be good, if you're uplifting every single day, I really do believe that you start to create that reality.
01:02:45.000 And I think that's why she's flourishing and so happy today.
01:02:48.000 So God bless you from everybody in this room on that medical journey and just sending you so much love from across the room.
01:02:55.000 I really do.
01:02:56.000 I'm so inspired by the fact that you have epilepsy and you've got such amazing goals and you're going to be a kick-ass lawyer.
01:03:04.000 Thank you.
01:03:06.000 I'll just add something really quick.
01:03:09.000 On the top of all the music from Bach and Beethoven and Mozart, they all wrote the same thing.
01:03:13.000 To God be the glory.
01:03:14.000 Have that be your North Star.
01:03:15.000 And ask yourself the question, what is the law?
01:03:17.000 The law points you to Christ, Galatians 3.
01:03:20.000 And as long as that is your North Star and that is what you focus on, you'll be successful no matter where you go to school.
01:03:25.000 But you don't need to go to a godless trap like Harvard to be successful.
01:03:30.000 Go find a place that respects your values and makes you a better person.
01:03:35.000 And they try to have, they ask you the question, what does it mean to be good?
01:03:39.000 A place that asks you the question, go there.
01:03:42.000 Thank you.
01:03:42.000 Thank you, Charlie.
01:03:48.000 My name is Sparker Harless.
01:03:49.000 I am a music business major at Treveca Nazarene University.
01:03:54.000 So I was going to ask you about taking the place of Cardi B. Have we fallen down so far into the rabbit hole of this awful music and these awful lyrics that we won't be able to get back into the place of traditional values and lyrics in the music, music industry?
01:04:17.000 No, because it's still there.
01:04:18.000 So I always say to people, don't get caught up in the media simulation, right?
01:04:22.000 So the billboard's naming her woman of the year.
01:04:24.000 And I hold the faith that people disagree with that, right?
01:04:27.000 And I have to believe, and I know this, the majority of the people found the Grammy performance to be disgusting, whether they were fans of her or not.
01:04:36.000 It was a step too far.
01:04:37.000 So we have the media that's telling us one thing.
01:04:39.000 This person's amazing.
01:04:40.000 This is the way the world's going.
01:04:41.000 The Satan shoes is also great.
01:04:43.000 But the average American, don't ever get so caught that you believe that the media is actually giving you a reflection of what our society wants.
01:04:51.000 I think it's quite the opposite.
01:04:52.000 Yes, of course, she's topping billboards because somebody's buying her album, but I really hold in my heart that most people understand what Confucius, a Chinese philosopher, said a long time ago, which is that if you ever want to see the morals of a society, its music will furnish the answers.
01:05:09.000 And so right now, we have probably a bigger problem in Black America because hip-hop really does rule Black America.
01:05:17.000 And it's so true that what you put in your ears, it informs your mindset.
01:05:22.000 But I'm in Tennessee now, and I can tell you that Cardi B doesn't have the same clout here.
01:05:28.000 She ain't Morgan Wallen.
01:05:33.000 And I got one more question as well to add to that.
01:05:37.000 Since going into music business, when will y'all start taking applicants for the record label?
01:05:44.000 First off, Ben and Jeremy are going to kill me.
01:05:46.000 So let's just start full stop.
01:05:47.000 I don't think I was going to say that.
01:05:49.000 I don't know.
01:05:50.000 I know.
01:05:50.000 Okay, I'm just going to spill my guts here, but I know that they're talking about picking up a lot of artists that have been canceled and a lot of artists that are afraid to speak out against their labels.
01:05:59.000 So, you know, Daily Wire is making big moves into culture.
01:06:02.000 When they're going to start assigning new artists, I don't know.
01:06:04.000 But I will say, Michael Knowles knows how to play the guitar and he's damn good.
01:06:09.000 And Ben knows how to play the violin.
01:06:10.000 Yeah, we like randomly are very musically talented at the Daily Wire, so we might put together our own band.
01:06:16.000 I play the piano, so you know, if y'all need a pianist.
01:06:20.000 We should have just had a sign up here.
01:06:20.000 I love it.
01:06:25.000 Thank you so much for your question.
01:06:26.000 Thank you, Candace.
01:06:27.000 Thank you, Charlie.
01:06:33.000 Well, hi, I'm Sean Jones, and I'm from Belmont University.
01:06:38.000 And I just want to ask you, my generation, for our entire lives, every conversation about equality has been one like a seesaw.
01:06:50.000 We're taught that you must push one side down to bring the other side up.
01:06:54.000 And that's something that we know is really, it's inherently discriminatory and it's inherently immoral to think that way.
01:07:05.000 So my question is, as a generation, how can we try to overcome that in this country?
01:07:11.000 And how can we teach our children and the next generations better?
01:07:18.000 Yeah, it's important to define what equality means.
01:07:22.000 They're using this new word and they're letting it slip, which is their real goal, which is equity.
01:07:26.000 There's a difference.
01:07:27.000 So equality under the law is moral and it is essential.
01:07:32.000 It is the tenets of William Blackstone to John Locke to the brilliance of the Founding Fathers.
01:07:37.000 It is the basis behind the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment, and yes, the First Amendment as well, which is that you have a right to be free.
01:07:44.000 You have a right to be assumed innocent until the state can prove otherwise against you, which is the rule of law that we take for granted in our country.
01:07:52.000 And equality under the law is essential and moral.
01:07:57.000 There's a second type of equality, equality of opportunity.
01:08:00.000 It is admirable.
01:08:01.000 We should strive towards this.
01:08:02.000 This is why Candace and I are advocates of school choice.
01:08:04.000 We're advocates of rebuilding the American family, of increasing literacy.
01:08:09.000 We're never going to quite get to equality of opportunity, but we can get close and we can make attempts towards it.
01:08:15.000 Then there's the third type of equality, which shouldn't even be called equality.
01:08:18.000 It's really equity or equity of outcome, which is to take from one group to another and to blame discrimination for that disparity.
01:08:26.000 That is evil and it must be opposed at all costs.
01:08:29.000 If I gave $100 to every single person in this room and you came back, some people would go buy some stock on Robin Hood, other people would go out and have a nice time at the bar, and other people just lose the money.
01:08:40.000 When you have liberty, outcomes will be different.
01:08:43.000 It's a hard thing to say, but people will be rewarded for good choices and they'll be penalized for bad choices.
01:08:48.000 That's the price of liberty.
01:08:50.000 And so it's very important that we communicate the differences between equality under the law, equality of opportunity, and then equity, which is really forced redistributionism for a desired result, which is nothing more than a totalitarian power grab.
01:09:03.000 Right, and I'll just add to that that one of the underlining, more sinister motives that the left is really after, and the institutions are after, and professors are after, is this idea of collectivizing, right?
01:09:14.000 And to teach you that there's no differences between you and the person next to you because you guys should all end up the same and everyone should start the same, end up the same.
01:09:21.000 And that couldn't be further from the truth.
01:09:23.000 And remove race from the equation.
01:09:25.000 Or include race.
01:09:26.000 Do you think that LeBron James and I had the same advantages in life on the basketball court?
01:09:30.000 He's a monster.
01:09:31.000 I mean, he's a giant guy, right?
01:09:33.000 And so he was born with certain advantages that other people are not born with, right?
01:09:38.000 And so you have to realize that when the left is doing these sorts of things, what they're really after is trying to teach this idea of sameness, like we don't have different tastes, which is what Charlie is hinting at.
01:09:49.000 He says, if I gave everybody $100, everybody in this room would do something different with those $100.
01:09:55.000 They don't want you to be an individual.
01:09:57.000 And they're trying to teach there's something harmful and wrong and backwards about individuality.
01:10:02.000 And also at the same time, they're trying to shame you, to make people that are successful to feel shameful about that.
01:10:07.000 It's even in our language, it's coded in our language to make us feel shameful about success.
01:10:11.000 You know, selfishness, that's selfish.
01:10:13.000 You hear that over and over and over again.
01:10:16.000 You have to take care of yourself first, right?
01:10:20.000 Your family second.
01:10:21.000 You know, you bring up talking about how do we make things better in the future.
01:10:25.000 Take care of yourself.
01:10:26.000 And that's really a Socratic idea there, right?
01:10:28.000 Socrates in the very beginning walked around and said to people, How are you doing?
01:10:32.000 But what he really meant is that make sure you're doing work individually.
01:10:32.000 Take care of yourself.
01:10:36.000 Until you are a good person and you are on your own two feet, you should not be seeking to change the entire world.
01:10:42.000 Make sure your home is in order before you step into somebody else's and make a difference.
01:10:47.000 So really ignore those professors, focus on yourself, and you'll be able to do better in the long run to help others.
01:10:53.000 Great answer.
01:10:54.000 Thank you.
01:10:57.000 Good answer.
01:10:59.000 Hi, my name is Emily Johnson, and I'm currently a pre-service teacher.
01:11:03.000 I'm going to be teaching high school biology.
01:11:05.000 And today in class, not for you, but like biology is getting a little tricky out there, right?
01:11:12.000 Oh, you're telling me.
01:11:14.000 But today we sat in class and learned the difference between equality and equity and how we need to be equitable in our classrooms.
01:11:22.000 And if we don't think there's a problem, we're a part of the problem.
01:11:26.000 And I spoke up and wanted to caution people about being careful of lowering the bar for minority students because we also talked about systemic racism within the education system and how we are just perpetuating that.
01:11:40.000 And I wanted to ask your advice as I'm going through because I'm very odd to be a conservative and being a teacher.
01:11:47.000 So I want to know how to combat that and go forward with staying strong with what I believe, but also making sure that I'm not cowering down.
01:11:55.000 Yeah.
01:11:55.000 You know, I think you challenge the ideas.
01:11:58.000 You do so in a polite way.
01:11:59.000 Be honest, say, you know, I actually met, I wouldn't give them the name, but just say, you know, I bled, I actually met a black woman the other night, and she told me that she thought there was nothing more systematically racist, you know, than seeing black people as different and treating them differently, and while at the same time guaranteeing their failure.
01:12:16.000 Because let me tell you, you get a bunch of handouts in life, and everyone keeps patting you on the back and giving you self-esteem and saying you should deserve it because you're black, you're going to get hit real hard when you get into the real world and realize that, you know, it's a whole different game, right?
01:12:28.000 So not knowing anything and being given a degree for not knowing anything, and then arriving in the real world, all of these kids who were just told they don't have to be punctual, they don't have to show up, that they should just get A's simply on the basis that they're black, that all of this is a form of white supremacy, are suddenly going to become abject failures.
01:12:45.000 So introduce that and just see what they come back with.
01:12:47.000 Say to them, you know, I met somebody who has a different perspective.
01:12:50.000 And when they say what they're going to say, which is, well, that's wrong, then say, wouldn't that be racist for us to assume that every black person is having the same experience in life and that we know how every black person feels?
01:13:00.000 And they can't answer those questions and they get flustered because what they're really doing is they're memorizing what has become a very popular doctrine that really is saying that all black people are the same and all black people need your help.
01:13:13.000 And the idea that all black people need your charity is a form of discrimination and racism.
01:13:18.000 And I just want to encourage you, we need more teachers like you, and we need more teachers that are conservative, center-right, to go instruct our children.
01:13:26.000 Education comes from the Latin word to lead forth.
01:13:29.000 We need to take that seriously.
01:13:31.000 So I want to thank you for your courage.
01:13:34.000 Don't give in to these people, okay?
01:13:36.000 Thank you all so much.
01:13:42.000 Hi, I'm a high school student from Brentwood High, and my question is about big tech.
01:13:47.000 I know that our party is known for not wanting the government to control everything, and I wholeheartedly agree with this.
01:13:52.000 But I feel like at this point, the government does need to start imposing some small regulations to protect our freedom of speech, especially when things happen like what AWS did to Parlor.
01:14:02.000 How do you think we should deal with big tech?
01:14:05.000 Whoa, I have so many opinions about parlay, which is one of the most egregious things they've ever done to just cancel an entire app because they didn't want competition.
01:14:14.000 And I mean, that really speaks to just what really needs to happen, which is that we need to break up big tech.
01:14:20.000 And that's always been what it's about.
01:14:22.000 They have become a monopoly.
01:14:23.000 They know they're a monopoly and they collude with one another like you wouldn't believe.
01:14:27.000 There's no way that on the same day, and conservatives should have done a better job of talking about this and taking it more seriously when it happened to Alex Jones.
01:14:35.000 I don't care what your opinions were about Alex Jones, right?
01:14:38.000 The idea that Apple, Google, and Facebook and YouTube all kicked him out on the same day tells you that there is tech collusion.
01:14:46.000 The idea that Facebook and Twitter on the same day took out Donald Trump tells you that there is tech collusion.
01:14:52.000 They're speaking to each other.
01:14:53.000 If there was a week lapse, if there was a couple of weeks, they're all talking to one another right now.
01:14:58.000 When they start colluding to keep other companies out of the free market, we have protections against that.
01:15:05.000 And we need to see Google come.
01:15:07.000 And we talked about this early on.
01:15:08.000 I always said from day one, I've been saying this for four years, that Google needs to be broken up because it's become a dangerous monopoly.
01:15:15.000 And I'll add to that, and I want to compliment Candace.
01:15:19.000 She had boldness on this topic before it was popular.
01:15:23.000 Candace was one of the first people on Parlor.
01:15:25.000 She convinced me to sign up.
01:15:26.000 And they were a legitimate competitor.
01:15:28.000 We were the first check marks on Parlor, me and Charlie.
01:15:30.000 How cool is that?
01:15:31.000 When everyone thought it wasn't going to happen.
01:15:33.000 And I want to also add: you know, AWS was doing a favor for Twitter.
01:15:39.000 You see, Twitter spends a lot of money with Amazon Web Services every month.
01:15:43.000 And so they're big customers.
01:15:44.000 And so getting rid of a competitor like Parlor helped the state run Twitter.
01:15:50.000 So your question is, you said we as conservatives usually don't like interfering in private enterprise.
01:15:56.000 You're right.
01:15:57.000 Let me tell you why this is not actually private enterprise as we know it.
01:16:02.000 If you go up to Indiana, many of you might be from the Chicagoland area because you're getting out of Illinois very quickly, like I did.
01:16:08.000 If you drive from Gary, Indiana to Chicago on the Chicago Skyway, you guys might know it.
01:16:14.000 It is a private-public partnership.
01:16:16.000 It's a private highway.
01:16:18.000 You know, it's against federal law for the owners of that highway to have a big sign that says Trump supporters are not allowed to drive into Chicago on the Chicago Skyway.
01:16:26.000 It's against the law.
01:16:28.000 That's an interstate highway.
01:16:29.000 We're dealing with information highways.
01:16:32.000 This is how people communicate.
01:16:34.000 That's how people transport themselves.
01:16:36.000 There's no difference.
01:16:37.000 You are not allowed to pull somebody over on I-10 and say, you know, I'm sorry, I don't like your tweet history.
01:16:44.000 You're not allowed to use this platform.
01:16:45.000 When 92% of all search results go through one company, when a social media app has 150 active users in the North American continent, and they can all collude together for one political unified purpose, that's not a free market.
01:16:58.000 That's a cartel.
01:16:59.000 And they are manipulating your children to hate themselves, hate each other, and hate the country.
01:17:07.000 We know their political viewpoints.
01:17:08.000 You can look at their political contributions.
01:17:10.000 It's all the one purpose and one party.
01:17:12.000 And so what do we do now?
01:17:13.000 We have to build competitors.
01:17:14.000 We have to own our own stuff.
01:17:17.000 And quite honestly, every single state attorney general should sue these companies.
01:17:21.000 I know Parlay is suing.
01:17:22.000 And so that's the first step.
01:17:24.000 Parlay is suing.
01:17:25.000 It's like Rockefeller and Standard Oil in the 1920s.
01:17:28.000 It's time to break up big tech.
01:17:30.000 And of course, I'm suing Facebook.
01:17:32.000 Come on, it's me.
01:17:33.000 Can you talk?
01:17:35.000 Candace, can you talk a little bit about that?
01:17:37.000 Yeah, absolutely.
01:17:38.000 Yeah.
01:17:39.000 I launched a website, a lawsuit against Facebook, and I was the first one to do it in the manner that I did it, going after the fact checkers, right?
01:17:46.000 It's a blatant discrimination.
01:17:48.000 They demonetized my account on the basis of a fact check that made no sense.
01:17:52.000 Where do these fact checkers come from?
01:17:54.000 Lead Stories is one of the biggest fact checkers.
01:17:56.000 Started looking into it.
01:17:57.000 Where did Lee Stories come from?
01:17:59.000 Oh, former editor of CNN of 26 years decided to randomly start being a fact checker in 2016 after Trump won, started an organization called Lead Stories, and somehow got a gig at Facebook, brand new company, LLC.
01:18:13.000 And their first big contract was with Facebook.
01:18:16.000 You know, so I mean, talk about just like the collusion that's going on.
01:18:19.000 It's big media, which is which is in bed with big tech.
01:18:24.000 And so I just said, sue them.
01:18:26.000 And I'm not going to just sue them for what.
01:18:26.000 I'm going to sue them.
01:18:28.000 I'm going to sue them for millions.
01:18:30.000 And really, not just on behalf of me, but because once it's been done once, like Charlie said earlier, it invites them and exposes them and they're open to every other lawsuit, which is why I'm proud to report that somehow Facebook has remonetized my account.
01:18:46.000 Yeah, litigation is ongoing.
01:18:47.000 So we had our first hearing.
01:18:48.000 They tried to do a hearing to get the lawsuit dropped.
01:18:51.000 And, you know, these things take time.
01:18:53.000 We launched a lawsuit last September.
01:18:55.000 So, you know, I'm looking forward to my day in court.
01:18:58.000 But, you know, they're very scared about what's happening because I just want to open them up to be able to say, how'd you get this contract with Facebook?
01:19:06.000 You know, to really expose, putting them through discovery and to really expose just how sick and perverse and, you know, how much the collusion is taking place to really go after people and to make sure that we don't have the ability in a free market society to ever compete with them.
01:19:22.000 So I'm really excited about suing Facebook, among other people.
01:19:25.000 Awesome.
01:19:26.000 Thank you for your question.
01:19:27.000 Thank you so much.
01:19:28.000 Thanks.
01:19:29.000 We think we have time for one more.
01:19:32.000 Hi, my name's Matt Zapka.
01:19:34.000 I'm a recent graduate from North Central College.
01:19:37.000 So Chicago.
01:19:40.000 First, I just want to say thanks for coming out, guys.
01:19:42.000 This has really been really interesting to see.
01:19:48.000 And let's see.
01:19:51.000 Candace, earlier you mentioned there's a bunch of companies that are desperate to hire conservatives.
01:19:57.000 Do you happen to have a good way to find them or do you happen to know of any?
01:20:00.000 That's a great, that's a really great question.
01:20:02.000 No, they're all too scared to speak out, right?
01:20:04.000 And because they're fearful, but I'm telling you, just think in terms of being a business owner, right?
01:20:09.000 You're at the top of your company.
01:20:10.000 Let's take some company that actually leans very left, right?
01:20:13.000 What's the company?
01:20:14.000 What is the publishing agency that was publishing Jordan Peterson's second book?
01:20:19.000 Not Harper.
01:20:20.000 Not Hachette.
01:20:21.000 It was not Harper.
01:20:22.000 It was Penguin.
01:20:25.000 Yeah.
01:20:25.000 It was Penguin.
01:20:26.000 So they got random house.
01:20:29.000 Yeah, I think they're under Penguin, whatever.
01:20:30.000 So they had, you know, they agreed to do Jordan Peterson's second book.
01:20:34.000 Good idea.
01:20:34.000 His first book sold 5 million copies, right?
01:20:37.000 As a publisher, your job is to sell books.
01:20:40.000 I mean, his books, literally, it's a chapter book.
01:20:42.000 Stand up straight, you know, make your bed.
01:20:45.000 And the woke, you know, the woke idiots at this company stood up and stormed the offices of the CEO.
01:20:52.000 I don't care if that CEO leans left or right.
01:20:54.000 What do you think that is for the CEO when you have employees that are threatening to sue that are coming in?
01:21:00.000 They cried.
01:21:01.000 They had employees that cried because they announced that they were going to do Jordan Peterson's second book.
01:21:05.000 Well, all of these people, I've spoken to people at Warner Brothers, at the top of Warner Bros.
01:21:09.000 I don't know, like, you know, what you're studying per se.
01:21:11.000 And they're all saying we can't hire young people that want to work because they're all so sensitive and they're all so emotional.
01:21:18.000 And so they're getting less and less, you know, they're getting nervous because they don't know how you can sustain a profitability model when you have these people that are so emotional and don't want to work and think that they deserve everything and want to be unionized.
01:21:31.000 So that's why I say when one door closes, another opens, because they're looking for solid conservatives to come in the door.
01:21:37.000 Like I'm telling you, they probably breathe a sigh of relief when your hair isn't blue, just when you come in for an interview.
01:21:43.000 And so they're starting to realize corporations that you think are so woke because they do these things, they're doing that because they're really under siege at their own companies and they're looking for things, the pendulum to swing the other way.
01:21:54.000 I wish they had more courage and they spoke out, but they're there.
01:21:58.000 And trust me, there's going to be, in my opinion, this generation, I've never seen a more hyper-privileged generation of people that are coming out of college campuses today.
01:22:07.000 So it's a better market to go into as a conservative than it is as a leftist.
01:22:12.000 And they're there, especially in the mid-sized owned businesses that were the owner or the founder does a lot of the hiring and employing.
01:22:19.000 Fortune 100 is too.
01:22:20.000 The HR departments, they're like, we don't want to deal with the wokesters anymore.
01:22:23.000 Like, where are the decent people who love their country?
01:22:26.000 So that pendulum is swinging back because they're going in HR departments, extorting these huge budgets.
01:22:31.000 Like, we demand $100 million to BLM Incorporated.
01:22:34.000 Like, who are you?
01:22:34.000 You're 24.
01:22:35.000 You went to Brown.
01:22:35.000 Like, you know nothing.
01:22:36.000 Yeah.
01:22:37.000 Like, you're not oppressed.
01:22:38.000 Like, you're like the luckiest black person in the history of the world.
01:22:41.000 Like, stop complaining all the time.
01:22:43.000 And so that's part of the issue that's there.
01:22:47.000 But I guess the spirit of your question is that you're worried possibly about the employment or the factors of that.
01:22:53.000 This is going to swing back.
01:22:54.000 And finally, we need a new generation of entrepreneurs, everybody.
01:22:57.000 Start your own stuff.
01:22:58.000 Please go start your own stuff.
01:23:01.000 It's so important.
01:23:03.000 And thank you for your question.
01:23:05.000 We really appreciate it.
01:23:06.000 Thank you.
01:23:07.000 So I want to thank all of you guys for your commitment to our country and for the cause.
01:23:13.000 For those of you that are on campuses, don't give in.
01:23:15.000 Don't give an inch.
01:23:16.000 Candace, any closing words?
01:23:18.000 No, just it's it's it feels so great to be back and I want you guys to make sure you feel super inspired and know that you're not alone.
01:23:24.000 I know a lot of times you get conservatives that say they feel like they're the only one.
01:23:28.000 You're not.
01:23:29.000 I can't tell you how many people write to me every single day that feel like they can't speak out and that they're the only conservative.
01:23:35.000 And if one of you starts speaking out, I think a lot will follow.
01:23:37.000 So think of yourselves as pioneers.
01:23:40.000 You're facing tremendous odds.
01:23:42.000 It might feel like you're facing tremendous odds, but you're not.
01:23:44.000 And people always need that first act of courage to know that they can follow and that they're not alone.
01:23:50.000 So thank you guys so much because I couldn't do what I did without you guys.
01:23:54.000 And let me say this, that there is no replacement for work ethic.
01:23:58.000 And I could tell you from first-hand experience, no one worked harder from the time that we traveled the country than you, Candace.
01:24:04.000 Maybe you by like one hour.
01:24:07.000 You took the red eye flights.
01:24:09.000 She said yes.
01:24:10.000 No, she said yes to the speaking events where she had to do 2,000 pictures and, you know, was not paid and then had to go across the country.
01:24:19.000 She went to the college campuses.
01:24:21.000 She did all the interviews.
01:24:22.000 I saw it.
