Candace Owens has apparently gone nearly six years without getting that
Donald Trump is kind of a rude a hole,
she finally realized it because of course, it was finally targeted at her.
Take a look.
>> Trump actually got upset with me because, and here's the great irony,
the richest irony, the Daily Beast ran a headline regarding that live
Instagram that you just heard from me.
And the headline was, Candace Owens says Trump is pro vax
because he's too old to understand the internet.
During a golf session with some mutual friends of ours,
he had a person next to him who was egging this on saying to Trump,
and I know this because again, this is a mutual friend, aren't you mad at Candace?
Aren't you mad at Candace?
Aren't mad at Candace?
And eventually he was like, yeah, I'm so mad at Candace, I'm so mad at Candace, and
this got back to me that he was upset with me, that he was angry at me.
And the next time that I saw him, he was quite rude to me,
he was actually rude to me.
I'm telling you this personal story because I think it is something that made
me for the first time question him as a person.
He needs to read the room accurately, he needs to take a look at
those that are around him, that are inspiring this paranoia and
making him believe that everyone's out to get him, including his friends.
And he needs to exercise a tiny bit more humility.
>> In 2022, Candace Owens thinks Donald Trump should exercise more humility,
because he exercises some, sometimes.
And isn't it weird that Donald Trump randomly lashed out at someone he had
previously really liked.
Have you been paying attention, literally at all,
to anything going on in American politics since 2016, honestly 2015.
It's been seven years, and this is,
I don't especially care about Candace Owens or what she has to say or anything.
But the reason that we're showing you this is because it is the perfect encapsulation
of what it is to be a right winger.
Nothing means anything and nothing is worth caring about until
it very directly and specifically affects you.
Witnessing Trump doing this to person after person, after person,
after person means nothing, there will be no learning,
it has to affect you directly for it to bother you.
So finally she gets that Donald Trump might not be the nicest,
most reasonable, rationa,l levelheaded guy, Dan.
>> I've been covering Candace Owens for years and
I have a phenomenal take coming up, I cannot wait.
So, I've been wondering whether Candace Owens is really stupid or
really cunning and savvy, and knows what she's doing.
And I think we've seen an evolution from there,
I think she said some really dumb things.
Going on that one comment and saying, Hitler was just fighting for
the working class, I think that was one of her older comments in the past, right?
But now, once right, we recently saw that Candace Owens had essentially
finessed Kanye West into buying her husband's failed platform parler and
funding money into that.
And I was like, that's some savvy SHI sugar, honey, iced tea stuff right there.
That's really, really good.
I was like, okay, she's got some game, you gotta look at this.
Now, I think she's following along with the whole, okay,
there's blood in the water for Sonald Trump, after the election,
a lot of people don't want Trump to run.
A lot of people are starting to realize that, hey, Trump and
Trumpism might not be the the thing that elevates the Republican party anymore.
It was something for 2015, that's out, what's new this season is something else.
Maybe it's DeSantis, maybe it's something else.
I think Candace Owens is starting to mark herself on that track,
like a lot of others on the Daily Wire are.
So I think she's actually savvier than we give her credit for.
I will give her that,
even though she definitely needs to work on her knowledge of history.
>> Yeah, that was a lot of things.
By the way, like many in the chat, the sugar, honey,
I see is not my favorite thing in the world.
But anyway, there's just two more little critiques I wanna make.
First, the idea that they seriously think,
he just doesn't get the vaccine since he's not on the internet enough.
First of all, the dude is literally on the internet right now.
As I'm saying these words, he's on the internet doing something.
And do you think that's how people in positions of government power,
getting briefed by all these people, yeah, no,
they're talking to all those doctors and everything.
But they're not online enough, that's why they don't get this.
Does that seem like the way it should work?
But more importantly, I wanna critique the issue that she has with Donald Trump being
mean to her or whatever, by doing a little bit of a comparison.
So she really likes Donald Trump, she has a close relationship with him,
which is weird.
There are a couple of politicians I like.
Here's a random one, AOC or whatever.
If I found out that AOC had seen something that I wrote about her and
was talking to people about how she was mad at me,
I would be disappointed in that, but not for the reason that Candace is.
I wouldn't be mad because she's mad at me,
I'd be mad because, what the hell does she care what I say about her?
Why are you, in a position of government power, spending your time seeing,
let alone caring about what some idiot online says or thinks about you?
It would be super bizarre if Bernie Sanders had any opinion about me at all.
He's got more important fish to fry.
But for Candace, she thinks it's totally reasonable that the former most powerful
person in the world would be tracking his emotional state towards her, day to day,
and actually caring.
She should want him to be focused on policy, substance, but
instead she thinks they should be on the same level, and that is truly bizarre.
In defensive Candace Owens, now,
I actually disagree with you a little bit there, John.
Cuz you and I never thought I would say those words, but I think it is important
for politicians to be aware of who their surrogates are and who supports them.
I think Trump knows this very well, I think almost too much to a degree,
you know how laser focused he is on Fox and friends, all the Fox pundits, etc, and
all the internet pundits.
He went on Alex Jones's show from the beginning,
after the election he did the Right Wing Podcast Circuit.
So I was, man, Trump knows his deep cuts, and that's pretty good.
At least his publicist do right.
There's some podcasts I hadn't even heard of,
that were super on the right wing manus fear that he was on.
But I think it's good, in that situation, I would hope the AOC knows who you are and
would take your criticisms and your comments to heart.
Considering that you are someone who would pay attention to what she does,
give her a lot of credit for things, and give her criticism.
I think, if you're someone who is an unfair arbiter in the media,
who is someone who gives you crap nonsense, then of course you don't
pay attention to what they say, you don't care about their opinions.
If AOC is crying about Ben Shapiro's opinions,
I would hope that AOC is getting some help with that.
But ultimately, no, politicians should care about their closest surrogates and
what they have to say, as long as they're reasonable and acting in good faith,
for sure.
>> I liked you better before you started disagreeing with me.
Feel like everything changed now.
>> [LAUGH] >> Okay, those are fair points, Dan,
I guess.
But nobody should care that much about her.
That's weird.
Is she a surrogate?
I guess she's a surrogate.
God, they don't care about anything significant, anything substantive.
It's so weird.
