This video segment features a conversation about Candace Owens and her new venture, highlighting her past collaboration with the speaker. The speaker recounts meeting Candace Owens approximately seven years prior at a David Harris event. He was impressed by her speaking ability and immediately offered her a job at Turning Point USA, recognizing her potential despite her relatively small online following at the time (around 45,000 Twitter followers and a YouTube presence as 'red pill black'). The speaker expresses his talent for identifying and nurturing conservative talent, comparing himself to an NFL scout. He lists several individuals, including Anna Paulina Luna, Brandon Tatum, Candace Owens, Will Wit, and Isabelle Brown, who either started with or significantly developed their careers with his support. He also mentions Benny Johnson in a similar context. The conversation then shifts to a humorous anecdote about a debate between the speaker and Candace Owens, where the speaker playfully tried to interject his thoughts while she was speaking, likening their dynamic to that of close friends. The speaker emphasizes his genuine desire to see all the talent he has supported succeed.
