You do realize Candace Owens is doing a series regarding Harvey Weinstein, one of the most powerful jews in hollywood, exposing the fraud of his show trials. Hardly screams anti-semite especially when it was Harvey Weinstein who chose Candace to do his story.

That's fine if you don't like her but to perpetuate the "grift" and "anti-semite" narratives is bordering on calumny; its just weird coming from you as I know you are not a leftist loon.

She is tackling some deep counter culture/ counter globalist narratives which would hardly make her a grifter when in actuality gets her demonitized and risk being deplatformed.

Heaven forbid someone have "questionable views" in 2025. Especially in terms of Isreal. If she isn't careful she might be smeared as anti-semitic in an attempt to silence her.

That was a bad move. I really like her. So far, I haven't found the things that annoy me like with Tomi, Candace, or the liberty hangout girl.

Prove that she’s either.

It’s a weak claim and means nothing.

Well for one, you typically mirror the company you keep and she was friendly with Kanye West there for a minute.

Her first claim to fame was an app that doxed conservatives

She never uttered the phrase Christ is king until her spat with Shapiro and now she sells cups with that on them

She cheered on Islamic extremists marching in the streets of Britain

Candace doesn’t stand for anything but driving attention.

Kanye isn't a grifter. He's nuts and prone to fall under the influence of stronger personalities but he's sincere in his nuttery.

Sure but I’m allowed to call out that she’s a bad actor who shouldn’t be taken seriously

Don't forget that as recently as 2015 she was a liberal, writing article with titles like, "The Bat-shite Crazy Antics Of The Republican Tea Party."

Once Trump got elected in 2016 it became more lucrative to be a rightist populist, so...

And she wasn't just buddies with Kanye West, she actively defended his anti-semitism. She's basically a flat-earther who responds to challenges when she misreports facts by claiming victimhood as a black woman or implying that "The Joos" are out to get her.

Which is basically playing this board's tune.

The reason the dullards here like her is that Huckster Carlson likes her. And he's the original rightist populist grifter.

As for the Daily Wire, nobody here—including me—is doing anything but guessing as to why they hired a bankruptcy lawyer, but IMO it's much more likely that we will eventually find out that it has to do with their no doubt highly expensive attempted expansion into movies and television than anything Ben Shapiro has said about Israel.

That theory seems frankly ridiculous to me.

The right needs companies like the Daily Wire to be successful.

Also I think the right needs people like Tucker. I had Candace but love Tucker. I think he is genuinely curious. I think his views on foreign conflicts have been exaggerated and taken out of context. I think Tucker truly is “Just asking questions” because he wants to explore every angle.

I don't think this stuff would have effected him at all, just like I don't think it'll effect the podcast side at all.

This will likely be entirely in the movies/TV side.

Here's what I think.

I think he is smart, and I think he figured which way the wind was blowing in terms of the Republican base abandoning conservatism in favor of rightist populism long before anyone else did.

He figured the left split their leftist populist base between several media outlets, but nobody on a national level was dishing the rightist populist conspiracy theories that he knew the growing populist base would demand and if he did he would have a corner on the entire national market.

So he did.

I highly doubt that he actually believes some of the ridiculous nonsense he broadcasts, and because of that I do not believe that he is good for the base.

I think all of the idiotic isolationism he has convinced "conservatives" to parrot is going to eventually allow WWIII (although it won't happen until Trump is out of office, since he's not an idiot isolationist, thank God), and he's going to be the single most responsible party.
