The Candace Owens allegations are not looking good

And it's always awkward when this one happens. It happens to the best of us sometimes. You got to be careful to avoid this one because you look like a [ __ ] [ __ ] when you just don't think something through that's so obvious and then you present it as though that's not even a possibility. You just blatantly expose your lack of like reasoning capability. It's just right there for everybody to see.

>> Conspiracy theories are entering a danger. >> Information is the oxygen of the democracy. So much evidence out there that even if less than 1% is true, that will be enough to collapse the current paradigm and change the whole planet. I saw that uh Danks, one of the great upand cominging new independent podcasts on YouTube, had Blake Bednars' live commenting on Candace Owens's allegations, so to speak, her suspicions. She kind of put Blake Bednars on blast on her show last night. And if you aren't, you know, chronically on Twitter, if you have a life, you might not remember who Blake Bednars is. You might not be super familiar with his vibes, his personality, his antics, his history, his footage, his claims. Candace did a bit of summarizing of his his primary evidentiary claims that is very overtly claiming that Brian Harpull murdered Charlie Kirk, that he pulled the trigger. Blake Bednars has in no uncertain terms directly stated that factually over and over and over and over online. And Candace and Baron both pointed out correctly and comically that it's a little weird that Blake Bednars is used as evidence in the lawsuit against Candace, but is not receiving a lawsuit himself. Although Candace never claimed that Brian Harpole killed Charlie Kirk, and Blake Bednars very much did many times. So, we're going to get into Blake Bednars's response a bit and some of the evidence he's produced and some of the claims he's making and why it's all a little weird.

I very much want to encourage people to follow Danks because Danks is, you're going to see from his demeanor um in these clips, Danks is a very level-headed dude. He's just here for the truth and he's a regular guy. And it's been really cool to see this cadre of like not young but new um creators and podcasters and investigators just start making content. I'm a huge proponent of more regular people making content. More voices that are just regular Americans, regular people around the world that are just putting out research, putting out ideas, putting out information because we got more than enough Daily Wire in the world. We don't need any more Daily Wire. What we need is more regular people putting their voices out there and making the voices of the regular people louder. And we need people that have the demeanor like Danks that are calm, cool, collected, journalistic, not dramatic, not hyperfixated or freaking out or aggressive and starting fights with everybody. The juxtaposition of the demeanors and vibes between Danks and Blake is striking and I think very important to note. It's going to be a central theme here. Blake does share text messages and um stuff with Candace that seemed to imply um that she might be misremembering the exact correspondence from back in like September or whatever when he was trying to send her this video. Not exactly clear. We'll let that hash out in the future. But the first thing that really struck me was this part, which I didn't realize this was already on YouTube, but this is a huge red flag.

>> I pulled this out. So, >> okay, I'm going to pull up this. I'm going to pull up this. >> So, you'll remember that Candace mentioned on our show last night that Blake Bednars was really into FaceTiming. He really wanted to FaceTime Candace. And let's just say that the longer you spend in this industry, the more you sort of get vibes from how people try to operate. And once you get a little experience in the game, you learn that there are certain things that are can be used to try to entrap you or just to try to put you in a position where you might do something that they might be able to get on you or for any other reason. Maybe just for clout. And in this case, this is why the incessant request to FaceTime is a little weird.

>> All right. Here. Here. >> Okay. Go for it. >> Okay. >> So, here's the actual FaceTime. So, notice that he's just ringing her right now. Before he's even ringing her, he's all set up. He's got his camera ready and he's recording himself facetiming Candace. Um, I'm just going to be really direct about this. Fame is uncomfortable. I'm literally a pizza guy. Sort of. It's all weird. But when you get a little famous, you start to get people that want to use you for clout or, you know, [ __ ] like this and it's super uncomfortable. Even if it's just totally innocent and it's just like some young kid that's just like, "Oh my gosh." It's one thing to be like, "Hey, can I get a picture, bro?" It's a whole different thing to have that person that you know is like trying to use you to be cool. Like, hey, I know Ian Carol like, "Oh, dude, I've got Candace Owens's phone number." Like, "Yeah, you want me to text you right now to show you how cool I am?" That's a huge red flag. Huge red flag. Do not associate with those people. Even if it's totally innocent and it's not nefarious, that's just not good. That's not a good friend. That's someone that's out for themselves. Don't do that. Do not do that. And at the other end of the spectrum, that is potentially malicious and super sketchy. The people that are trying to record you and document their I it it's weird. So Blake is already being kind of weird. And later in the podcast or in the show, we might not actually watch the exact clip of it, but later in the show, Danks actually asks him directly, did she know that you were filming this this FaceTime? And Blake directly says without hesitation, "No, no, Candace did not know that Blake was filming their FaceTime." So that's weird.

>> Hey, Candace. I'm good. I'm good. It's good to see you finally and meet you. I'm a big fan. >> Thank you. the more time you spend in this industry, the more you can just feel a vibe from someone um in terms of how they treat your celebrity status. Um and it's awkward for everybody. It's like there's a million versions of awkward and weird that are totally ch like chill and normal when you're interacting with a fan or someone that knows your who you are. This is not an example of that right off the bat. And then you can't help but notice too that he posted this video on YouTube apparently publicly with the title, why hasn't Candace Owens discussed this VIP video yet 200 days later and it doesn't make sense. So that's also super weird to come out publicly as having done this. He shows the FaceTime where he's doing exactly what TPUSA did to Candace actually where he's like showing her his screen of the video through the FaceTime to be like, "Look, I have this video." It's like bargaining chipping. If you're actually trying to just share information, you just share the video. He does show a Wii transfer at some point in here. He shows a bunch of text messages, which is like whatever. Um, I mean, he's trying to defend himself, so it's like I'm not going to try to knock him too hard for sharing text messages. Whatever you want. But then he does show at some point in here, uh, we transfer documentation via email. It's in here somewhere there where I have sent and received Wii transfers. This does prove that he sent a Wii transfer file to her and she did receive it. We don't know what the file was so far as unless they've gone into that more later in the live stream. It doesn't seem like we know exactly what file was shared. I suspect that what happened is there was confusion about what the actual offering was, what the video was. Blake was putting out all of these edited clips with annotations being like, "This is what happened right here. Look right here. Look right here." And he had all these clips. The only original video, like original video that Blake Bednar's ever had, as far as I'm aware, and ever offered the public was this like 11 or 12 minute video recorded by the UVU Review, I think it was by one of the static camera operators there. The only video that Blake Bednar has ever like brought to the public that wasn't just an edited clip of of another video was this video recorded by the camera people for that UVU review, I believe. and he paid them money to get the footage was the original story. That's what had Jason Goodman lose his [ __ ] gourd on Blake Bednars about like custody of evidence and contaminating the the evidence and it was a whole thing. Jason is a whole thing. That's the only video that Blake Bednar has ever like brought that was new. And it wasn't his video exactly. He just did the leg work to kind of get the original high-quality footage and get it online. and he gave it out to everybody um at some point and he then proceeded to produce a whole bunch of clips from that video and from other videos, but that's the only one that was ever out. It's possible theoretically, if he's being honest with this Wii transfer thing, this Wii transfer file download should be that full length like 12minute high quality full resolution video. That's what it should be. And that might be what it is. I could very much believe a world where Candace was under the impression that he had more and that then he didn't have more. And so there's it's possible there's a miscommunication on that piece of it. It's also possible this is not that video, but I think it probably is if I want to give Blake the benefit of the doubt. I don't know. It's kind of a minor claim. That's kind of not the point here. The point here is I got to find where Okay, here we show Baron. The point here Oh, whoa. That's a hell of a freeze. The point is this part

>> her danger to defamation, right? To to defamate. So she's they're using her as an accusation for your actions, which I think is kind of ridiculous by the way, if that's what if that's the that's how it is being interpreted. Like uh I believe that your interpretation is that >> uh and I also see now what you're saying that makes sense. People are saying someone said audio issues, but I'm not sure if there's someone uh everything's good, right? This influence you. I mean, I don't know. Did Candace influence you in any way? Let's How about that? Let's clear that. Yes or no? I mean, has she influenced you to make this kind of content? >> No. I think she's in it with them. >> You think she's in it with them? >> Yeah. >> You think >> I think she's running controlled up? Yeah. Interesting. >> Who's the only person that h who's the only person in this investigation that can pick up the phone and text Erica, text Brian, text Dan, text any of them? Who's the Who's the only person in this that has access like that to any of these people? Who's the only person that's had access to Terrell Farnsworth to get the actual 4K video from behind Charlotte? Who's the only person? >> What's wrong with this question? What's What's wrong with this picture? Aside from those eyes. Oh boy. Aside from those eyes and the demeanor, vibes are very important in life, in journalism, in truth, in YouTube. What's wrong with this question? Why does Candace have access to that? Because she used to work there. Because they're all her friends. Because she knows them all personally. Because Charlie was her best friend. and because she has the biggest podcast in the world. And so that gives you reach. That gives you the ability to make a phone call and get taken seriously. Anyone can try to find contact info for these people and try to contact them. The question is, will they respond? And if you are big enough to be taken seriously or approach in the right way, you can get a response too. But it's no mystery why Candace can get a hold of people whose phone numbers she has, right? So to see that as evidence that she's running a controlled op is highly disingenuous and suspiciously [ __ ] honestly aside from the intense demeanor. And let's talk about the demeanor a little bit before we get too far into it because you're going to notice this over and over and over and you probably already did if you were paying attention to Blake Bednars at the beginning. Um, if you can't tell, I got the same vibes as Candace pretty early on. And I did not really [ __ ] with Blake's stuff. Maybe he's probably a perfectly fine person to like, you know, catch in person at, you know, the soccer game or whatever. Um, whatever you're doing, I don't know. But when it comes to journalism, for me personally, my opinion is that one of the biggest red flags is people that are sure that their truth is the only truth and it's the only way and everything else is wrong or hubris or [ __ ] you're such a [ __ ] idiot. There's like Yeah, there are types of stories and types of truths that are so well evidenced that I can understand you coming to those conclusions. I I to come to those conclusions about like for example Jeffrey Epstein worked for Israel. If you don't realize that by now, I have a hard time taking you seriously, but that's because of the massive body of evidence across years that I am personally very familiar with. But I also can understand how someone might not be familiar with all that evidence. So I don't like think that you're an OP just because you don't believe what I believe on that. There's lots of reasons why you might not understand that or know that yet. But when it's like on a developing story, this is like we're literally talking about like smoke signals in a video and like he twisted something in his pants, so therefore it must be a remote detonator. And Blake's position, which he reelaborates on in this live stream, is that if you don't believe the same version of events that he believes on this Charlie Kirk case, then you are an idiot or an OP. And that is some opy ass [ __ ] That is some serious op [ __ ] Um, no sir. This is an open investigation where there's lots of possibilities, where everyone's welcome to have their own perspectives and opinions and bring their evidence at the table. And there's a lot of people that have brought a lot more convincing evidence than Blake Bednars in my opinion personally. But I'm I mean Blake is going to call me an op for Candace. So whatever. When someone is so sure of themselves either, it shows a lack of fundamental humility and reasoning, the capability to understand that you might not understand everything. And if you don't have that, you can't learn things. If you don't realize that you might not know everything, how are you ever going to learn anything, right? A full cup can only overflow. On the other end of it, people that are that sure of themselves might have an agenda to push. People that are so sure of their perspective in the face of any evidence and any rational conversation often are pushing a narrative for a reason. So that's how I feel about the certainty. Then there's the aggressiveness. And the aggressiveness is personally uncomfortable. Super uncomfortable, bro. Like what's going on with these eyes? But it's also a vibe that gives me uncomfortable tact. It just feels like tactics whether it's emotionally manipulative just from a personal standpoint or it's trying to manipulate the information conversation to silence other person's perspectives or like, you know, railroad conversations. There's a lot of reasons why aggressive conversationalists are a red flag in truth seeeking discussions. I don't think I need to describe all the myriad reasons to you. I'm much more inclined to believe and take seriously and have a conversation with someone who is poised and thoughtful and receptive and listening and taking their time and thinking carefully. But that's just me. So, let's get back into this. Candace is an op.

I just want to play it from the start one more time. >> Has she influenced you to make this kind of content? >> No. I think she's in it with them. >> You think she's in it with them? Yeah. >> You think >> I think she's running controlled op? >> Yeah. >> Who's the only person that h who's the only person in this investigation that can pick up the phone and text Erica, text Brian, text Dan, text any of them? Who's the Who's the only person in this that has access like that to any of these people? Who's the only person that's had access to Terrell Farnsworth to get the actual 4K video from behind Charlotte? Who's the only person? >> Yeah. I mean, I don't know. >> Who is it? Answer it. Dank. >> It's C. Candace has that access that I know of. I mean, I don't know for sure, but >> she says it. She talks about it that she can pick up the phone and text Brian. She can text D. >> You can see how he's trying to put words in Danks' mouth, too. Right now, he's trying to sort of like aggressively push Danks to say, >> "Oh, yeah, you're right. Oh, yeah. I agree. Oh, yeah. That's true." >> And she can text her. She can text Erica. Why did you uh make her get on FaceTime? >> To show her the video. >> Okay. >> Well, I mean, it's not like >> I mean, I see I I see you. >> I showed her the video. I mean, like, what's up? She makes it seem like I mean, I don't even know what she's trying to allege or put out there, but I just was facetiming her to show my screen. Like, why else wouldn't I mean, she there was no like, "Hey, I'm gonna give you this video." She hadn't even asked for it yet. I was just going to show her what it was.

They get into how we transfer works for a bit, how all the transfer and the file stuff worked, and then Danks does a really good job of this is really impressive on Danks' part. I'm not sure if I can find the exact right place to start here, but it's hard to be having a conversation with someone live and and ask them hard questions and frame it in a way that's not about attacking them, but is about calling them out or, you know, holding them accountable. Paying him It's just point blank. Okay. It's not normal when you have the original file. You >> He's going off about Jason Goodman and about Zeb Boyin and all these other people right now that are all bad actors or whatever. Shout out to Zeb Boyin. He's a great dude. >> Zeb Boyin. Another example of a guy that's got great vibes. Danks has great vibes. Baze has great vibes. Even though Baze can get really hyped and animated, he's got great vibes. Those people are like they've got chill vibes, right? Chill vibes is a lot more significant than you might think because it's not personal. It's just information, right? The moment it's personal, that's that's weird. It it's weird. Like why is it personal? Why why are you aggressively pushing Danks to agree with you and say what like say you're right? It's like if you know you're right, if you believe you're right, then just chill. The evidence should speak for itself. One thing I will say and I have to talk about this. I think it's important to bring context to you as well. You know, like I said in the beginning of the show, is there some accountability that needs to be had in regards to not even particularly this video, but or this scenario, but what has gotten to the point to where people might not trust you, might dislike your operation on how you move around the internet. I've told you multiple times like you got to stop deleting your ex account, doing all this weird [ __ ] or or at least if you're doing it for views, it work. >> He did it again last night after Candace called him out. He deleted his ex account, reactivated it again. >> Works. You know, people talk. >> There was like online polls and bets about how long he'd be gone for. If you guessed one day, you were correct >> about you. But there are things like I have a clip I want to pull up. There is a scenario that Baze and and he's everything has we've talked to your face. Bae has said this to your face. So I know he won't have any problem with me showing it. This is uh a private clip and I'm going to share it. And he he gives some context here and I think it's important like for you to see and we're going to I want to walk through a couple of things. It's not going to be easy, bro. and I appreciate you being here, but I want you to see like why some people might not trust you and why this could be um >> see non-personal framing, mellow, calm, just factual. Danks is great >> creating conflict where it might not be wanted for you. >> Blake did a show with somebody else, this guy Blackline Brief, and then Black Line. Then when me, Blake, Kelly, and Danks were doing our second show, you know, the following Saturday, this guy, Black Line Brief, started commenting, and Blake just booked. He just left. Didn't say goodbye, just disappeared. And Kelly knew that it was because of this guy, uh, Black Line Brief commenting. But I was totally oblivious. I didn't understand. I also didn't put two and two together. That Black Line Brief had been emailing Danks, like kissing his ass, and begging him for a collabo for weeks. And apparently the guy got really jealous when Danks started working with me, Blake, and Kelly, and not him. And then Blake had connected with him and they worked together. So, Black Line Brief kind of felt like, "Okay, I've been talking to Danks. I worked with Blake. Like, who's Baze?" Like real bays. Like he's like imitating like trying to like make fun of me and then he's just dragging Kelly through the mud. And I got very offended by that. I said to Blake, I'm like, "Dude, like why are you working with this guy if that's how he feels about us and we're supposed to be a team? And why does he feel so comfortable talking crap about me and Kelly if he just worked with you?" You know? And I explained like listen, like if it's me, if I work with someone, >> and I know it's it's podcast or drama. Um, that's not the point. It's only a, you know, half a minute more. Um, it's the underlying that we're going to talk about. >> I'm not going to work with someone that's willing to trash my friends and drag them through the mud. And if there is an issue and I I do end up working with that person, I resolve it. You better believe that if that person says something and speaks out about my friends that I'm going to be the first person to stick up for my friends and call that out. And Blake just tried to play it koi. Like, dude, I don't even know the guy. I did one collabo with him. I'm not even going to work with him again. Screw that guy. Who cares? And then lo and behold, a couple days later, he's working with him again.

>> This has happened multiple times, right? I just I'm gonna play another >> So the point is not the interpersonal podcaster drama. The point is that the online media industry, podcasting, decentralized information, it's not like the old media landscape. It's not like mainstream news. It is made of people and people are messy and they're bringing you information as people. And the thing is you can't separate the people drama from the information. That's the goal. The goal is to separate the information from the people drama. But if you've spent any amount of time on X, you know that that's not possible. That's not that's not real. It always bleeds into the drama. And because the decentralized media space relies on your trust in me or your trust in Danks or your trust in Candace, then the drama that surrounds a person surrounds their information because the people only have their personal reputation. And so the thing about this industry that I actually think is really cool, but is the hardest part about the industry, the job is not just turn on a camera and share information. The job is your entire personhood. Who are you? And that bleeds into everything you do. It bleeds into how you talk. It bleeds into how you present, how you think, how you research. But it also bleeds into how you interrelate. And it bleeds into how you deal with the inevitable times when you get something wrong and have to take responsibility for an error or make some [ __ ] up and try to pretend it's all good and lie your way out of a problem or get offered a payout to shill something you shouldn't. And then you have to decide whether you do or don't. That is all character trait stuff. And in the decentralized media, the thing holding it all together is the character of us all. And if you aren't of high quality character, if you're not a moral and righteous person, doing your best by God to do the right thing and pursue truth, then all of your information is just as tainted as your own soul. And I'm not specifically alleging that like Blake Bednar's soul is tainted right now. I'm not talking about Blake right now. I'm just talking about the industry in general and what our job actually is and who you're actually trusting and why you're trusting us or not trusting us and how you should if you I'm sure most of you already do this whether subliminally or overtly, but that trust comes from the vibes. It comes from who we are as people and all of our collective decision-making processes in the job of presenting of being in this new media space. It all adds up to your credibility. And what Danks is pointing out here is that Blake Betnars has done a lot of things in the past that have made his credibility tough to swallow or for some people non-existent. And for me personally, my opinion, you should form your own, is that I didn't get good vibes about Blake's tactics and personality and energy early on, but you can come to your own opinion. I'm going to do some skipping through here to try to find the the section where he's getting into why Candace didn't publish his video, and that'll be the last piece I think we comment on here.

>> On both sides, I'll >> The timeline doesn't make sense. like you got a problem with the timeline. You're you're pretending like this video came about in >> I'm nailed it. Let me get >> views from the day that she >> dude. Yeah, I'm totally I basically nailed it. at least just been like, "Hey, that video that I was really really happy to get that's like I was talking about it being phenomenal and all of this like the reason I haven't showed it to my 100 million followers is this reason, this reason, this reason." So he's going on about, so now we're on this train of thought of why didn't Candace share my video and launch my career and make me famous and all that. He doesn't say that obviously. I'm I'm editorializing and putting words in his mouth, but he he is talking about why didn't Candace share the video? That's suspicious. She's trying to cover up the video. That that is his intimation. Um directly and indirectly. I'm I'm editorializing with the whiny fame stuff. Feel the vibes for yourself. This is the piece that I think is very interesting and also very obvious. And I I mean once we get through this here, chat, you tell me if this is obvious or not. This part seems so blatantly obvious. Um and he actually is proving Candace's point. He's arguing Candace's exact point that she made last night on our show and why she said he seems suspicious. He's actually evidencing that exact thing um through this point.

>> It's because of this. It's because of that. It's because of I'm I'm trying to maneuver myself here. I I would be like, "Okay, cool. That's good. Okay, cool." She completely ghosted me. It's because I don't I don't think she could come up with just something honest. I think it's because it would it would seem so nefarious. It's like, uh, Blake, I can't show it because it's going to actually show what they're doing, right? >> Okay. She can't say that to me because >> Why do you think that she won't show that? Do you >> So, just to clarify, the video he's referring to his clips of the full 12minute whatever high quality video, it's just a static video from a tripod facing Charlie Kirk on the stage. High definition, very good quality. It's 4K quality, but it's just the whole crowd in 4K, static tripod facing the stage from a little ways back and up. And it doesn't show who committed the crime. It doesn't solve anything. It just shows the crowd. And then Blake has edit editorialized that because Brian Harple twisted this thing in his pocket and did this thing and this hand signal and this touch touch and this all of these smoke signals and they cast spells and I'm editorializing but it's like he has interpreted that he thinks that the very like very subtle things that he's identified proves exactly what happened which is him defaming Brian Harple. And the defamation that people sued about it because he's defaming Brian Harple with it because it's like literal [ __ ] smoke signals. Like maybe one in a million%. Like you you could be right, but this is so far from proof. I can't even describe it. It's like it literally is on the level of the people that like make up Ian Carol conspiracy theories about my my red bracelet that my girl ex-girlfriend's uh dad bought for me at one point or things like that. It's like Laura Loomer saying that I must be taking SPLC money because I was on a one-mon break during the time when the SPLC was shut down. It's like it's this is not proof Blake. This is just your opinion about a wide angle shot of the crowd. It is so far from proof that it's actually really sketchy that you even think it is proof and it's super sketchy that you think anyone else should be forced to show your footage because of that. That that's sketchy and that is the entrapment angle that Candace is referring to. That's the exact reason why Candace says she ghosted him because it's not proof. And to claim that it is is defamation. And if she had done that, then she would be [ __ ] Completely [ __ ] If Candace had done what Blake is suggesting right now, she would be losing this lawsuit handily. And he's here like losing his gourd about like why didn't she give any reason? She couldn't give any reason. If she had talked about it, it would have obviously led to the truth. So, she couldn't talk about it. It's like, no, if she had talked about it the way you talk about it, she would be leading to bankruptcy and losing her children and them trying to get her husband deported. She'd be [ __ ] Blake, that's why she didn't talk about it. And she did use parts of the video footage for other parts of the investigation that were relevant and framed properly. As in, this is suspicious. Mikey, why are you walking away like this? That's weird. Mikey, do you care to comment? Hey, it's weird that this thing happened over here. I don't know what that means. Do you care to comment? She reported on it in a responsible journalistic way, not making concrete claims, keeping herself protected from defamation lawsuit and also bringing up important things that she thought was important. That being said, I think that Candace has focused on certain aspects that I wouldn't have chosen to focus on that didn't lead very far. And I think that she's missed other aspects or at least not gotten them as fast as other people that I thought were very important. Candace is not infallible. She's not some like super deity of investigative journalism. She's just one woman that's very [ __ ] badass and she's good at her job. She's got a lot of experience. She's got a lot of connections and resources for sure. She's like, she's good. One of the best, but she's just one woman with like her team of homies that are good friends of mine. Um, they're all awesome, but they literally just filmed this thing out of a basement. There's no like there's no super like money like giant research cadres. It's just her and her buddies and then a whole bunch of mommy sleuths on the text chain like is in the the email tips line. So yeah, she is her for real. And I will speak in a minute to I I know Candace personally quite well and I know her team quite well. I know her family. Um and I have the highest regard for them and I'll speak to that in a minute. But Blake here is actually describing the exact enttrapment angle that Candace said was concerning and said was why she ghosted him and was suspicious. And he's doubling down on it now without even realizing it, which is odd

>> because let me ask a wonderful question for her. Before you answer it, I will say, do you I think that it could be because of the lawsuit that came already anyways, but that's maybe September 24th. >> September 24th. >> But yeah, see this like this is the I'm so sure of myself that I don't even realize how [ __ ] I look right now. September 24th. September 24th. I've already thought of everything. I know everything. Nope. Nope. So, if you didn't if you didn't catch what just happened there, Blake was saying, "Why didn't Candace ever talk about the video? She never even told me why. She just ghosted." Danks comes back and says, "I mean, maybe it's because of this lawsuit that has now dropped. Like, maybe that's the kind of reason why she didn't want to talk about it." Blake says, "No, September 24th. September 24th. September. It was the And what he's saying is, no, she didn't talk about the video way back then. The lawsuit just came out now." So, why didn't she talk about it way back then? Well, you [ __ ] dumbass. Because she's not born yesterday, and she already knew way back then that if she said the kinds of things that you were saying, she was going to get sued cuz she knows how this game works. It doesn't matter that the lawsuit wasn't out yet because she's not an idiot and she knows that the moment she does that, the lawsuit comes out. But instead, because she didn't do that, instead they're forced to come out with this pathetic empty lawsuit that is just [ __ ] because there's nothing there. Because she never [ __ ] up. She didn't cross that line like you were trying to encourage her to do. Like you're still trying to say, "Why didn't she cross that line? Why didn't she defame Brian Harple? She should have defamed Brian Harple."

>> Yeah, you're right. But it gets better. She's had 90 something episodes >> since I gave her the file. 90s something episodes. If you factor in her view count per episode, we're talking somewhere in the ballpark of 225 million views from the day that she was given the video to where it was when I calculated that. >> We all have the video, by the way. It's on X. It's been on X. Everyone has the video. It's It didn't change. It hasn't changed anything. It doesn't prove anything. We've all got it. We've all had it for months and months and months. He published it online publicly like in December or October or something. It It didn't solve the case. It didn't prove anything. Just to clarify, >> just asking uh AI to calculate the amount of views where Candace is at or where she would be at, uh it makes no sense. Danks, >> so why do you think that she's not showing it? Just because she's Do you Is that what you're saying? She's controlled op. It'll show this scenario that she doesn't want like she's protecting Turning Point USA. That's what you're saying. >> It It appears to be that way. >> Well, she So, to clarify, the video that is already out in public, has been for months and months and months, is all over X, got millions of views on X. We all have it. We all saw it. We all analyzed it. that video would have cracked the case immediately despite the fact that it didn't. All that Candace had to do was share it, right? No. Because obviously if just putting the video online was going to crack the case, that didn't happen. So I assume what he's implying is what she needed to do was not just share the video, but share his specific interpretation of the video. That's what needed to go out to her audience because then everyone would have understood what the video shows because apparently when the video goes out online it doesn't apparently crack the case. So why what he's kind of implying is with her giant audience she needed to share his interpretation of it so that everyone would know that Brian Harple did this crime. And do you see how that would have [ __ ] her over? Do you see how that is the entrapment angle? Right. >> She got a lawsuit from them. So what how do you explain that >> she got a lawsuit from Turning Point USA or from Brian Harp? >> No, from Brian Harpole, which is the specific situation that she might have been trying to avoid from playing your clip. Maybe she doesn't want to. >> She just got it with >> playing devil's advocate. Do you see his brain trying to do algebra, but it's still stuck in like the first piece of the equation trying to figure out what's the order of operations again? Is it parentheses or addition first? I'm like, [ __ ] Like, >> on both sides. I'll put >> the timeline doesn't make sense. Like, you got a problem with the timeline. You're you're pretending like this video came about in early March or something, bro. Backtrack six months. September. Here's another red flag in journalism. People sort of related to before. People that think that no one else could be smarter than them. People that that don't realize that there might be more thought to be done, more analysis to be done that there's no other understanding or explanation possible. Like this is a specific like version of it where it's like they didn't operate in the way that I would have operated. So they must be bad because I can't possibly think of any reason to operate how they did. So there must not be a reason except that they're bad. And it's always awkward when this one happens. It happens to the best of us sometimes. You got to be careful to avoid this one because you look like a [ __ ] [ __ ] when you just don't think something through that's so obvious and then you present it as though that's not even a possibility. You just blatantly expose your lack of like reasoning capability. It's just right there for everybody to see. So you got to be That's what I'm seeing. It's like this game is more than just present information in front of a camera. this this job, this game is is like a whole person practice skill art form um of trying to be the least dumb, kindest, most thoughtful um just like most in my the way I want to do the job is like the most godly version of yourself you could be. The most capable, thoughtful, kind. Basically, try to be a role model to to your kids. Try to be the kind of man you'd want your son to see on camera. That's the job. And it's awkward when your son sees their dad just totally not use their brain.

>> 24th. The leaves were still super green on all of our trees. >> Yeah. Makes sense. Then just be so sure of >> if that if since you since I saw that you showed her this footage >> on se two weeks like September I mean literally 13 days 14 days after >> you would and that she would want to put this footage out and at least ask those questions and I I actually want to know why too now actually to be honest. >> Thank you. Thank you for that bro because >> because I know that this footage is not made up. I've known about this footage. We've >> Don't worry Danks puts two and two together before the end of this. It's hard to think all these things through live. Um, Danks is sharp and Danks put it together and came back around and asked those questions a little more um a little bit later. I don't know if we'll get to that. >> All known about it. Baron has known about it. She knows about it. She's seen it. And if not, she's seen it on Baron's show. If not, she's seen it on your show. So either way, or on X, right? So what is the reason that she doesn't want to talk about this footage? That is a question that I have. And I >> she actually directly explained that in her episode last night. The clips are everywhere. You can see it. I I don't think we need to go any more into that. I think you guys understand. I think you get it. If you want to watch the whole thing, I highly encourage you to go over to Danks's channel. Um, hit subscribe. His channel is Dankster Intel at Dank Der I N Tel. Hit that subscribe button. get bro up to 50k subscribers. Um, drop a like on the video. Um, he does a lot of great work.

>> Shout out to Danks for hosting something really important there. Really funny. >> Um, really interesting and, you know, being balanced and chill. Danks is cool. He also has all these other cool projects going on. I haven't seen all of his work at all. Um, I can't keep up with everybody, but what I have seen from him, super great [ __ ] Shout out to Danks. Um, you're the man. On a different note, speaking about people's vibes um and people's integrity and people's trust, obviously I only have the trust and integrity that you think I do. And there's a lot of people out there um people and bots, I don't know, um Israelis on X that pretend to be American that um think I have no credibility and no trust. And that's fine. I don't care. Whatever. Um you make your own perspective, your own opinions. Um totally fine to be suspicious of me. Totally fine to question my rise. Totally fine to think for yourself. It's that's how you should be thinking. Um, but I'll just offer you my perspective on Candace because I have a very unique perspective. I mean, I have a very unique position in this industry too. I am one of the few people in this industry that has a very large platform now that knows like personally knows a lot of the biggest people in the alternative media industry and like literally just came from my kitchen job three years ago. No Daily Wire big organizations, no social media managers, no managers whatsoever, no PR guys, nobody managing my Twitter. I don't do any of that [ __ ] And I never have. I don't take any money from anybody. Never have. Um I've done like four paid advertisements on TikTok for discrete specific product advertisements that I very much labeled when they were and that's it. Um, no like weird groups that are giving me support or advice. None of it. It's like literally just me observing the social media landscape, saying I want to get into this landscape and work there and then based on my understanding of it, trying my best and getting very lucky and also, you know, doing a good job of it and here I am. And it's so [ __ ] weird. And it's understandable if you're suspicious of that. If you don't believe that, that's fine. Um, I have zero concern about the dig into it. It's the truth and it's a [ __ ] crazy story and someday I'll make I'll write some book that no one needs to read about it. Um, but it's a crazy [ __ ] story. But what it means is that I have a really unique perspective on someone like Candace because Candace is just a regular woman. Like she's just a regular person. But she did come up through those institutions. She had to exit from the establishment. But she was created by the establishment originally, right? The Daily Wire and, you know, associated TP USA, Charlie Kirk, the the people that picked her created her and she was in that ecosystem first and then had to exit and get back to being just herself. To be fair, she's ungovernable as [ __ ] And so, she was pretty much just herself all throughout, I suspect. Um, I didn't know her back then, but that's kind of a different trajectory, right? Like Tucker Carlson, he's just himself

Now. Like Tucker is just doing what he thinks is best. And himself is built from his whole life story, from his CIA dad, from his like Wasp upbringing, from his like, you know, he's built from an establishment pedigree. And he was an establishment person and figure. He was built by Fox News for so long, but then he exited and now is establishing just Tucker again.

But I'm I'm not like that, which is unique and it's fun and it's interesting. And I'm obviously not anywhere near as big as either of those two guys. But I do know them. And I know Candace particularly well because I literally worked out of her basement every single day for like a month and a half while she was pregnant or rather while she was on maternity leave, um, nursing her new baby. And I worked with her whole team very closely every single day. I know George quite well. And I've met her extended family too. And they're all awesome. They're cool. And there's no like there's nothing weird about it. Like they are just regular folks. They her whole team just wanted to leave the Daily Wire and they like working together and they're the [ __ ] and they have regular lives and regular spouses and they're just good folks.

Um, and Candace is exactly the same person off camera as on camera. There's no difference. And it's honestly hilarious. Um, because when you have and anyone who's ever like all the like extended anons and people that have given her tips, anyone that's like gotten on the phone with Candace for one moment just like extra extraneously, they'll all tell you that what happens is you just launch straight into the same stream of consciousness Candace that is on the screen. It's just like she's on this thought train and we're talking about this thing and you get and immediately you're just talking about the thing. You're just like [ __ ] going and it's to the point where it's like I'm I'm never sure if I need to like take notes when I'm just chatting with Candace about whatever even if it's just relevant like personal stuff because it's just like we are going dude, it's hilarious relevant in a weird way.

Someone said, did you get star struck and awe? And the answer is no. No, I didn't. People aren't stars, dude, they're just people. Like they're not stars. I don't get nervous in this industry for that reason. And, um, it's a blessing because you need to take us all off pedestals. I'm not like some special person. Candace is not like she's no different than any other human soul on this planet. Tucker is just a dude. Okay? These people have done cool things with their lives. They have a lot of fame, but fame does not come with you. Fame is not some like great accolade. Fame is honestly kind of uncomfortable and it corrupts you if you let it. And you should not idolize it. And anyone who does idolize it, that's a red flag. And that is one of the red flags about Blake Bednars that I like I I don't like is that he's constantly talking about how big an audience is and how many views there are. And you can just feel the push to like I want to get the views. I've met a lot of people in this industry that I can just kind of feel that like maybe they're interested in me as a person, but they're also interested in fame. And it's not good. Don't do that. Everyone's just a regular person. We're all just here for the truth. You don't need to coddle anyone or put anyone on a pedestal or tiptoe around anything or treat anyone any differently. It's honestly really uncomfortable. Just treat people like regular people and the truth is the truth.

You don't need to trust my opinion of Candace, but I just wanted to share it because she's one of the realest people I've ever met in this entire industry. You can't first place that kind of thing because I know a lot of great people in this industry that are 100% real. And Candace is in the 100% real category. Um, in all of my personal experience with her and I don't know everything about her, like I don't, you know, we're not like best friends or anything, but in my personal experience, they're the [ __ ] her whole family. George is the [ __ ] Candace is the [ __ ] Their kids are hilarious. Their whole team hilarious. They're great. It was a joy to work with them. And I don't work with them anymore. I have no contract with them. I don't even communicate with them hardly ever. Um, I wish I communicated with them more, um, because they're great friends. They're great people. I just wanted to say that that they're the [ __ ] I love them.
