Highlights
Owens discusses Reeve's persistent questioning about who "they" refers to, implying it means Jews. Owens challenges this, stating that "they" only means Jews when the context refers to Jews, and asserts that if she intends to speak about Jews or Zionists, she will do so directly. She views these linguistic interrogations as attempts to make people fearful of speaking freely.
Candace Owens opens by mocking Ben Shapiro for crying victim, similar to how he accuses others of anti-Semitism. She highlights Shapiro's past tweets, where he used phrases like "gripping the neck of a Jew" to accuse Ron Paul of anti-Semitism, and his claim that being "Israel first" is anti-Semitic. Owens suggests Shapiro is acting out of anger and insecurity, especially in his recent interactions with Megan Kelly.
Owens discusses Shapiro's inexplicable animosity towards Tucker Carlson, noting that Daily Wire employees reportedly have to sign agreements not to work for Carlson for six months. She plays a clip of Shapiro complaining that Carlson did not follow up on a text exchange and then accusing Carlson of supporting "Mandani." Owens refutes this, explaining that Carlson's remarks about Mandani were a strategic assessment of why he won, not an endorsement.
Owens addresses Shapiro's false accusation during his interview with Megan Kelly that Owens claimed Charlie Kirk's wife, Erica, or Seth Dylan murdered Charlie Kirk. Owens clarifies that her investigation was focused on Turning Point USA and their lies, and she never made such an accusation. She criticizes Shapiro for lying to pressure Megan Kelly and for his hypocrisy, especially given his past actions to undermine Charlie Kirk.
Owens points out the hypocrisy of Shapiro criticizing Tucker Carlson for interviewing Nick Fuentes, when Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boring publicly praised and invited Fuentes onto the Daily Wire platform in the past. She suggests Shapiro's fear of Fuentes stems from guilt, as Fuentes was allegedly 'artificially pushed out of the market' after questioning Israel.
Owens argues that the pro-Israel lobby is resorting to moral blackmail and orchestrated attacks, as evidenced by Shapiro's attempt to force Megan Kelly to disavow Owens based on false claims. She recounts a past incident where the Daily Wire sent an intern to secretly record her and ask a pre-planned question, illustrating how these 'organic movements' are often engineered.
Owens describes her heated interview on CNN with El Reeve, where she was accused of using white nationalist rhetoric for saying "Zionist occupied government." Owens firmly defends her statement, asserting that America is a "Zionist occupied government" and that such accusations are tactics to suppress speech when arguments are lost.
Owens observes a shift in the political landscape, particularly regarding the Trump family's appeal, especially after a recent TPUSA event where Eric and Laura Trump were questioned about Israel. She suggests that their unwavering support for Israel, despite its perceived negative impact on America and the ongoing conflict in Gaza, is alienating a new generation of conservatives.
Owens reiterates that Ben Shapiro's actions are immature and whiny, comparing him to a "teenage girl upset that she can't control her friends." She concludes by stating that the pro-Israel lobby's tactics of lying, bullying, and insincerity are causing them to lose public support. She openly invites Ben Shapiro to debate her on her platform.
