Christ is the King, and one day every knee will bow and recognize it because he's
not just making he's king of the universe.
But when you use that phrase to mean that God has abandoned his chosen people,
the Jews through whom he came into this world incarnate, and that he's broken
his promises, his covenant with the Jews.
You are quoting Scripture like Satan does in the Bible.
What?
Okay, so that was Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan.
And Klavan is a Jew, but he actually converted to Christianity and he's talking
about a phrase, God is King that Candace Owens tweeted after she found out that she
was being let go from the Daily Wire.
And that phrase is now being called.
Anti-semitic. That's right.
Wait for it. It's anti-Semitic.
Supposedly.
Obviously not Candace Owens friendship with Nick Fuentes, known anti-Semite,
or Kanye West, or saying that Hitler's nationalism was admirable.
But no, saying God is King is anti-Semitic.
Here's the tweet that they're talking about.
This was again, just hours after she found out
she was no longer with the Daily Wire.
She wrote, blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner
of evil against you falsely for my sake.
This is, by the way, from the Bible. She didn't write this.
No one can serve two masters either. You're you.
Either you will hate the one and love the other.
You will not be, or you will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve both God and money. And then she added, Christ is King.
And this apparently is the problem.
I apologize wasn't God is King, it was Christ is King.
Okay, now here is Clavin.
His full comments on why Christ is king is anti-Semitic.
He he can't quite get there. Take a listen.
You know, when I did this, by the way, the priest who baptized me said,
you know, Christians won't accept you.
They'll you'll still be a Jew. And I said, well, I am.
That's my race. I'm a Jew.
I'm proud of my race.
It's a great race, has done many, many great things, including write the Bible.
And, you know, I am a Jew. But that hasn't happened at all.
Christians have welcomed me with open arms.
Except this Christ the King anti-Semitic crowd.
Christ is the King.
And one day every knee will bow and recognize it because he's not just
making he's king of the universe.
But when you use that phrase to mean that God has abandoned his chosen people,
the Jews through whom he came into this world incarnate, and that he's broken
his promises, his covenant with the Jews.
You are quoting scripture like Satan does in the Bible.
You are quoting scripture to your purposes,
and that to me is specifically wicked.
What Christ is King means. What?
Whoa. Okay.
Whoa.
I'm still super unclear, but don't worry, because CEO of the Daily Wire, Jeremy.
Boring. That's right.
That's his name. Boring.
Has explained it all to Twitter.
Saying, quote, how how is saying Crisis King anti-Semitic?
The same way anything becomes anti-Semitic when it's used for the purpose
of expressing anti-Semitism?
It's like asking, how does a shovel become a murder weapon
when it is used to murder someone?
This isn't hard. A shovel is not innately a murder weapon.
Saying Christ is King is not innately anti-Semitic.
It's all about how a thing is used.
Then he continued, saying, eat some cornbread is not racist.
If I say it to my three year old when she's refusing her dinner,
if I say it as a response to ex post by black commentators, I don't like it.
It has taken on a meaning beyond what is innate.
Okay, a lot of mainstream media don't give you honest news.
We do. You know why?
Because are you paid membership on YouTube?
Makes all the difference.
Hit the join button below and you become the hero that sustains us.
And then he keeps going again with some weird religious mumbo jumbo stuff.
I believe Jeremy Boring again is a Christian himself, but he says so.
One must be cautious of how one uses the name of God.
God will not be mocked, invoking him in vain.
Self-promotion, or to troll Jews or to attack your political rivals
is to carry forth his name in vain.
Jesus Christ is King, sure enough, King of heaven and of earth,
King of Jew and Gentile alike.
Yet a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick
he will not smother.
So do not use his name as a cudgel to bash those in whom
the light of God yet flickers.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
This is the most Wendy's a Wendy's has ever been.
Was. This is the next level.
And what I hate about this entire story is I'm feeling that tingle.
And that's the tingle of don't make me defend Candace Owens,
which I hate that tingle.
I hate that, like because we all know, again, the real reason
that Candace Owens was let go and the real reason she's being called
anti-Semitic now as opposed to before, is because she's calling out Israel's
actions in Gaza, calling them genocide, lamenting of the death of children.
Again, if you guys need a refresher, this was back in November.
Candace Owens comes this quicker than some friends of mine says.
No government anywhere is the right to commit genocide.
Ever. There's no justification for genocide.
I can't believe this even needs to be said, or is even considered
the least bit controversial to state.
I hate you for being right, Candace Owens.
This is very painful, but was Christ is King and again like.
None of it makes sense because I actually don't think it makes sense to them.
So if I'm reading what they're saying correctly, one is this is
a bunch of fascinating aspects of it.
But I think ultimately what they're saying is that we know her
problem was with Ben Shapiro.
We know it was about her feelings about how the Israeli government
is carrying out their war against Hamas.
And her invoking Christ as king is clearly
a dig at her enemy at the Daily Wire, which is Ben Shapiro, a Jewish man.
That's what it feels like.
They're trying to express their, which is hilarious to me for many reasons.
But the main one for me is that the
staunchest pro-zionist people in America
are these Zionist Christians who think
the Jews should hold or own or whatever,
be in control of that land of Israel.
So that Jesus can come back and ultimately damn all those Jews to hell for not
being Christ followers, by the way.
But it's cool to be down with those folks because they serve
the ends right now, temporarily.
But if you even peel back the first layer of Christian Zionism,
it's anti-Semitic as hell.
They think those people are going to be damned to hell because they don't love
Jesus, but they need Jesus to come back.
So they need those people to be over there.
In Israel and Palestine. It's just a hilarious sort of jujitsu
and gymnastics these people have to do, in order to even support
some of this crazy thinking.
Well, and which is somehow was not anti-Semitic like the idea
that all the Jews need to own all the land in Israel or in Palestine.
- It's totally. - Normal.
That's super normal. So that they can die or convert is soup.
That's not anti-Semitic just because I want them to die or convert.
Well here.
Okay, lastly, because I have to play this for you because this guy fascinates me.
Andrew Klavan, who I didn't know was a thing he I guess converted
before the second coming of Christ.
He he converted before.
And he goes on a little bit more about this Christ is King stuff,
but listen to how he does it.
He's saying ultimately that God, his Christian God,
has a plan for Jews like Ben Shapiro.
And then he throws in Jordan Peterson.
I think Peterson's not actually, he's not a Jew and he's not really a Christian.
So but just listen to this last thing.
You know Christ is love. Christ is truth.
Christ is the logos of the moral order. You follow love, you follow truth.
You follow the moral order.
You will find yourself ultimately at Jesus Christ's door.
I don't worry about Ben and Jordan Peterson one little bit.
And so when you spit Christ the King at them
to insist that they have been rejected by the one who sent them to do the work
that they're doing, no no no no no.
Okay, so he's taking offense at saying Christ is King.
Candace Owens saying Crisis King, which she had no other.
She doesn't seem like she had another intention about like you're
saying you're spitting this at Ben Shapiro for whatever reason.
But simultaneously, he's arguing that God, his Christian God,
has a plan for Jews like Ben Shapiro to do their work ultimately.
Because what? Because Christ is King according to you?
Like, it's so weird. It's which ultimately and was.
This is the reason I wanted to watch that whole thing is to say that anti-Semitism
in this time, we've been gaslit to believe it's just in the eye of the beholder.
And so long as one person is offended, that means that you did an anti-Semitism,
when sometimes there's actually no grounds for it.
That being said, Candace Owens is an anti-Semite.
Straight up.
I don't think that this tweet falls into her documented past
of being an anti-Semite.
Look, those people hired Candace Owen
to shuck and jive, tap dance, be a troll,
put a black face on anti-Blackness.
There's a lot of money on it. However, she found out really quick.
There's a narrow range you get to work within.
You don't get to color outside of that line and think you get to still be the
black face of Cooning on the Daily Wire.
It doesn't happen like that. You step out of line even a little bit.
They're going to spank you.
And again, I really do think these people, they're like, yo,
we handled we had we hired excuse me, Candace Owens to be a troll.
And she's trolling us with that. Jesus is king.
You're feeling it.
But only because she overstepped on Israel.
