How to Become the #1 Most Listened to Podcast in the WORLD.
I don’t care if this makes me lose followers. We must learn to think critically. Honor Charlie Kirk’s memory by thinking the way he did: not blindly believing, getting swept up in conspiracy, but following the truth through verified evidence, not what one person claims is true. Paranoia is not discernment. Confidence is not competence. Charisma is not credibility. When someone needs to be the hero, the victim, and the authority all at once, then I have a hard time believing that truth is their goal. Seems like they're after power and control.
Also, I made this before Candace came for Allie Beth Stuckey. Can we all please take a moment to pray for @conservmillen? She’s been hit with an onslaught of unnecessary and awful hate over the last month. She doesn’t deserve it. Allie has consistently been a phenomenal example of thoughtful critique, biblical love, and steady patience. With everything that’s been thrown her way, Allie’s grace and composure have been a masterclass in integrity. That’s the kind of example I wish more women would follow.
I fully expect a wave of backlash from Candace’s followers. I think that’s exactly why so many people stay silent. But I just don’t care.
Remember: the ones trying to bring people back to reality aren’t being divisive. It’s the ones disconnected from reality who are. This is a core reason why I have such strong issues with unfounded and sensationalized conspiracy theories.
See my response to Candace Owens' recent comments about Charlie Kirk's m*rder during a recent Q&A session last night at Freedom House Church in North Carolina.
Candace Owens shared 2018 texts between herself & Charlie Kirk, inferring that she helped Kirk to understand the difference between Jay-Z & Kanye
Owens has stated that she "lost respect" for Jay-Z after he & Beyoncé publicly supported Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election, believing they "turned their back on Black Americans"
Owens claims Jay-Z is a "system artist" who says what makes him "look good in the eyes of the public" & cares more about what Hollywood thinks than about challenging the status quo for his community
Following the arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs, Owens called on Jay-Z & Beyoncé to address their alleged ties to Combs & his parties
Owens has claimed that the cultural weight of endorsements from Jay-Z & Beyoncé is "annoying" & no longer matters as much as it did ten years ago
Her commentary on Jay-Z often involves comparisons with Kanye West, whom she believes is a "truth seeker" who isn't afraid to lose popularity
She frames this in contrast to Jay-Z, who she portrays as overly concerned with his public image
In the attached 2022 Kanye West interview by Candace Owens, West made a crude remark about Beyoncé & Jay-Z's marriage
Is this the difference between Jay-Z & Kanye that she helped Charlie Kirk to understand?
In May 2019, Candace Owens announced her departure as communications director for Turning Point USA
Eric Bolling, the former Fox News & Newsmax host, told Patrick Bet-David’s “PBD Podcast” that while Kirk & Owens were “tight” more than a decade ago through their work at Turning Point USA, they “had a break-up” because her “theories got just a little bit too down the rabbit holes”
This makes sense, as Candace Owens & social media influencers like her are well aware of the power of negative bias. They understand that people tend to focus more on negative information than positive information
Hence, Owens regularly taps into the negative bias pipeline on social media via the promotion of controversial topics, guests & conspiracies. She knows that negative bias is a powerful lure for clicks, followers & monetization
Perhaps no one understands the 'Dark Side of Social Media Monetization' better than Candace Owens, as her milking of Charlie Kirks' death has ranked her high, on Spotify
Since Kirk’s death, Owens has been criticized by some over what she has posted, which has been described as rumors & conspiracy theories
Bolling went on to say, “It was too extreme for [TPUSA’s] taste,” Bolling said, adding: “Charlie, to his credit, kept a cordial friendship with her for years, but it hasn’t been a communication pipeline between the two for many years”
Is this why Candace Owens wasn't invited to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service?
Andrew Kolvet, TPUSAs spokesperson & the executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show", & a long-time friend of Charlies, was invited to speak at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service as were countless others who were close to Charlie, including Tucker Carlson
Owens' release of Kirks' personal text messages from a group chat after his passing wasn't received well by Andrew Kolvet. He felt that Owens releasing Charlie's text messages betrayed his trust
Andrew Kolvet & Blake Neff responded via "The Charlie Kirk Show" (attached) after Owens released a screenshot of messages shared by Kirk in a group chat, where he'd been discussing Jewish donors pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson
Context matters more than ever in situations like this. Snippets & soundbites can distort meaning, & jumping to conclusions based on fragments only fuels confusion
Given Owens' history of antisemitism is her focus on Jewish donors, an opportunity to attack the Jews as she does in the attached video?
Kolvet said Kirk's feelings about Israel were "complicated & nuanced", & he wanted the war in Gaza to end
Charlie loved Israel
Charlie cared about Israel
Charlie wanted to help the pro-Israel movement
