VATICAN CITY — A week intended to promote international Christian unity took a hard Left turn into American politics when a group of Minnesota clergy with ties to Black Lives Matter called on the gathering to “confront oppression,” invoking the January 6 Capitol riot and the death of George Floyd.
</div>
<div>
The annual <a href="http://www.christianunity.va/content/unitacristiani/en/settimana-di-preghiera-per-l-unita/week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity-20230/fr.html">Week of Prayer for Christian Unity</a>, a decades-old tradition, kicked off January 18 with a prayer from Pope Francis that God “faithfully and patiently guides His people towards [uniting] in full communion.” The event is led by the Vatican but coordinated with Christian denominations throughout the world, including a contingent from Minnesota this year.
</div>
<div>
“The Week of Prayer is the perfect time for Christians to recognize that the divisions between our churches and confessions cannot be separated from the divisions within the wider human family,” stated an introductory document prepared in part by members of the Minnesota Council of Churches who described themselves as “leaders, activists and/or pastors.” The document called on attendees to “confront oppression and division amongst humanity.”
</div>
<div>
The Minnesota group, which included former Minneapolis NAACP President <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leslieeredmond/?hl=en">Leslie Redmond</a>, Black Lives Matter Minneapolis-linked pastor <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlackLivesMatterMinneapolis/posts/for-immediate-releasemarch-2-2015over-100-faith-leaders-sign-open-letter-to-bloo/885991118111349/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeWayne Davis</a>, and activist <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/04/25/chauvin-minneapolis-activists-fight-continues/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jia Starr Brown</a>, said sessions spent crafting the document “moved through the attack on the United States Capitol, the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin and the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd.”
</div>
<div>
“When Covid-19 shut down the world in March 2020,” they wrote, “the murder of a young African American man, George Floyd, at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin drew people from all over the world out onto the streets in unity and righteous anger, to protest the injustice they witnessed on their television screens.”
</div>
<div>
James Lindsay, founder and president of <a href="https://newdiscourses.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Discourses</a> and author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Race-Marxism-Critical-Theory-Praxis/dp/B09SJ1NHG7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis</a>,” said the Minnesota group appeared to be using the ideal of Christian unity to push a Marxist political agenda.
</div>
<div>
“This builds the narrative and makes way for the demand: Unity, so long as it&#8217;s unity in agreement under their cultic interpretation of history,” said Lindsay, who studied the document. “Unity, so long as it&#8217;s under their cultic interpretation of society. Unity, within the church—not under God, but according to consenting to this narrow, damaging, and ultimately cultic misinterpretation of the world.”
</div>
<div>
Lindsay noted the Minnesota-based group cited the World Council of Churches (WCC), which he called “one of the main centers of religious manipulation and destruction.”
</div>
<div>
The WCC “is a huge Marxist front operating under the banner of ecumenicism but is, in fact, designed to water down different faiths and blend them in the fashion we&#8217;re discussing,” Lindsay said. “The overall objective is to break down the specific faiths so they&#8217;re essentially too weak to be distinguishable and then bind them back together under initiatives like equity, inclusion, and sustainability (that is, make them Woke).”
</div>
The Daily Wire reached out to Cardinal Kurt Koch, <a href="http://www.christianunity.va/content/unitacristiani/en/cardinal-koch/biografia-cardinale-kurt-koch.html">prefect of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity</a>, for comment on the oversight and vetting of contributors to initiatives such as the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, but did not receive a response by publishing time. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity concludes on January 25.

Former Virginia Tech soccer player Kiersten Hening received a six-figure settlement for dropping a federal lawsuit against the coach she claimed had benched her for refusing to take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter.
According to a <a href="https://roanoke.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/virginia-tech-paid-100-000-in-ex-athletes-lawsuit-settlement-attorney-says/article_cfcbc3d6-8c8f-11ed-b60f-5bbe7642546e.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The Roanoke Times, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/01/08/kiersten-hening-ex-virginia-tech-soccer-player-who-refused-blm-kneel-gets-100k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hening</a> accepted a settlement of $100,000 to walk away from the suit — and her attorney, Cameron Norris, also confirmed that the settlement did not require either party to admit to any wrongdoing.
Hening was a starter on the team during her freshman and sophomore seasons — but she claimed that she was benched after she chose not to take a knee during a pregame unity ceremony that was planned to show support for Black Lives Matter shortly after the death of George Floyd.
She <a href="https://www.outkick.com/virginia-tech-soccer-player-benched-for-refusing-to-kneel-awarded-100k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blamed</a> Charles “Chugger” Adair, the women&#8217;s head soccer coach, saying that he had scolded her during halftime at that game. She said that he then limited her field time and claimed in the lawsuit that she had been punished for simply exercising her First Amendment rights. She ultimately quit the team two games later, saying that the coach had engaged in a &#8220;campaign of abuse and retaliation&#8221; against her.
<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/who-kiersten-hening-why-soccer-player-suing-coach-not-taking-knee-1767164" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The suit</a>, which was filed in March of 2021, asked that Hening be reinstated to the team and that she be given an undisclosed amount in damages. However, Hening graduated in the time that lapsed since the suit was initially filed — and she does not intend to return in order to finish out her eligibility.
She also noted in the suit that she supported social justice initiatives, but that she did not support Black Lives Matter as an organization over concerns about its &#8220;tactics and core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police.&#8221;
Adair, who is still the head women&#8217;s soccer coach at Virginia Tech, released a statement following the settlement, claiming that he had been vindicated and adding, &#8220;I am pleased the case against me has been closed and I am free to move forward clear of any wrong doing &#8230; It’s unfortunate, but this ordeal was about a disappointment and disagreement about playing time. Today, we have clarity that this case lacked any standing, and without evidence, the truth has prevailed.&#8221;

The settlement is not final until state officials and officials at Virginia Tech have reviewed and approved it.

Atlanta city officials unanimously voted Monday to pay $1 million to the family of 27-year-old Rayshard Brooks, who was fatally shot by police after failing a field sobriety test and resisting arrest in June 2020 outside a Wendy&#8217;s restaurant.
Councilmembers <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtXgEUNbTbs">voted</a> 15-0 nearly three months after a specially appointed prosecutor said he would not pursue charges against the two Atlanta police officers who clashed with Brooks.
&#8220;This grieving family has been through so much during this process,&#8221; attorneys representing Brooks&#8217; family said in a statement obtained by <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/atlanta-pay-1m-rayshard-brooks-family-deadly-police-shooting-rcna58295">NBC</a>. &#8220;Although the children of Mr. Brooks have lost their father, settling the case will undoubtedly assist them with future plans as they come of age.&#8221;
Brooks&#8217; death came amid ongoing violent riots and protests across the United States over the death of George Floyd, who was killed a few weeks before Brooks by Minneapolis police officers.
Pete Skandalakis, executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys&#8217; Council of Georgia, said Officer Garrett Rolfe, who shot Brooks twice in the back, and Officer Devin Bronson, of the Atlanta Police Department, faced a &#8220;dynamic situation&#8221; that was &#8220;quickly evolving.&#8221; Such factors prompted the special prosecutor to drop the charges against the officers.
On June 12, 2020, Rolfe and Brosnan responded to a call about a man who fell asleep at the wheel while waiting in the drive-thru lane of a Wendy&#8217;s restaurant in South Atlanta. The officers approached Brooks and spoke to him for nearly 40 minutes before concluding that the 27-year-old man had imbibed too much alcohol.
Patrol car and body-cam footage from the officers showed Brooks admitting that he consumed alcohol before his encounter with law enforcement. He would later consent to a portable field alcohol test that came back above the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content. As soon as the officers tried to detain Brooks, he resisted arrest and wrestled his way out of the officers&#8217; control, who both fell to the ground during the incident, resulting in Brosnan&#8217;s concussion.
While the officers struggled to apprehend Brooks, he snatched Brosnan&#8217;s Taser and attempted to fire at Rolfe while fleeing the scene.
Rolfe fired three bullets at Brooks and ultimately killed him.
&#8220;Based on the facts and circumstances confronting Officer Rolfe and Officer Brosnan in this case, it is my conclusion the use of deadly force was objectively reasonable and that they did not act with criminal intent,&#8221; Skandalakis <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11139069/Two-Atlanta-police-officers-NOT-face-charges-fatal-shooting-Rayshard-Brooks.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>, per Daily Mail.
Skandalakis called it &#8220;a peaceful encounter that all of a sudden becomes a violent encounter.&#8221;
Just 24 hours after the two Atlanta policemen killed Brooks, rioters burned down Wendy&#8217;s restaurant where the incident occurred.
&#8220;Black lives do matter,&#8221; Skandalakis said during a press conference, according to Daily Mail. &#8220;I&#8217;ve spent my entire career representing black victims of crime. I understand that the encounters between police and the African American community at times are very volatile. But I would ask them to look at the facts of this case, and this isn&#8217;t one of those cases.&#8221;
&#8220;This is a case in which the officers were willing to give Mr. Brooks every benefit of the doubt, and unfortunately, by his actions, this is what happened,&#8221; he added.

Todd Bowles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach is my favorite person of the week for his response to a couple of reporters who asked about race.
Reporters today — wow. They just love to race bait, right? Well, Bowles <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nfl-coach-todd-bowles-destroys-woke-reporter-with-the-truth">offered an extremely refreshing remark</a> on race at a recent press conference when he was goaded by reporters.
“You and Mike Tomlin are two of the few black coaches in the league. I wonder what your relationship was like with him and your thoughts on Steve Wilks joining the fold?
“I have a very good relationship with Tomlin,” Bowles responded. “We don&#8217;t look at what color we are when we coach against each other, we just know each other. I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well, and I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a big deal.”
Bowles continued, shooting down the reporter&#8217;s question. “As far as us being coaching against each other, I think it&#8217;s normal,” he added. “Wilks got an opportunity to do a good job, and hopefully he does it. And we coach ball,  we don&#8217;t look at color.”
Then another reporter chimed in, trying to get a different answer out of Bowles.
“But you also understand that representation matters too, right? That when young aspiring coaches or even football players, they see you guys — you know they see someone that looks like them, maybe grew up like them, that has to mean something.”
“Well, when you say, ‘see you guys’ and ‘look like them’ and ‘grow up like them’ — that means that we were odd balls to begin with. And I think the minute &#8216;you guys&#8217; &#8230; stop making a big deal about it, everybody else will as well.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Todd Bowles, you have won the week! 
I actually am more astonished by the second reporter doubling down, basically saying, &#8216;Okay, but you do understand that you should care that you&#8217;re black? This is a matchup between two black coaches and representation matters.&#8217;
She&#8217;s not happy with the fact that he essentially said, &#8216;We don&#8217;t look at each other as two black men. We&#8217;re just coaches in the league?&#8217;
Would she ever ask a white coach that question? &#8216;Oh, you know, so you&#8217;re both white. How does that make you feel?&#8217;
You would never ask that question.
She doesn&#8217;t even realize that she is being racist by saying “Well, you do understand” — which is a patronizing way of saying, “I don&#8217;t think you understand my colleague&#8217;s questions. Let me rephrase it for you. Clearly, you understand that you&#8217;re black, right? Clearly, you understand that representation needs to matter and that you then need to make race an issue.”
In other words, she’s saying, &#8216;You need to answer this question in a way that allows people to know race is a huge issue in the NFL and you&#8217;re going to kowtow to feel like less than so that I can feel good about myself.&#8217;
Right?
That&#8217;s entirely what posting a black square on social media was about to a bunch of white people acting like saviors for George Floyd.
The second reporter even doubled down on the stupidity. What she&#8217;s really doing is making herself feel good. &#8216;Oh, my God. I&#8217;m so brave. I got into that press room and I asked a question to a black man. I gave him a platform. I gave the black man a platform to talk about his blackness. And that makes me a really good person.&#8217;
That&#8217;s what she was looking for. And he rightfully smacked her down.
Many people before Bowles have said this exact same thing.
In fact, Morgan Freeman famously said, ”If you want to end racism, stop talking about it. Stop looking at people and making judgments based on the color of their skin”
Nobody wants to admit your skin color does not determine your advantages or disadvantages in life. Some black people are born into extraordinary luxury with all the privileges in the world. Some white people are born piss poor with untold disadvantages.
Not many want to admit that because they cannot let go of this whole race narrative. As I exposed in my documentary “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,” that narrative lines the pockets of a lot of people, namely those connected with the Black Lives Matter movement — which my documentary killed. If you haven’t watched it yet, please <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/the-greatest-lie-ever-sold">click here</a>.
As for Todd Bowles, happy Friday! Again, you are my favorite person of the week.

Greatest Lie Ever Sold

Readers Pass

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Happy Thursday everyone. Last night we premiered “<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*1p11a6*_ga*NTk5OTMwNDMyLjE2NjM1OTAyNjM.*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTYwNjk1NC43MC4xLjE2NjU2MDg1ODcuNTkuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>&#8220;— my documentary exploring the Black Lives Matter movement, and it couldn&#8217;t have gone off more perfectly. 
I&#8217;m just so grateful for all of you who tuned in live and for those of you who I know will watch when you can.
So the premiere went off without a hitch. It was absolutely amazing. It was great to have all of my friends be a part of it. We had Kanye West, Kid Rock, Brittney and Jason Aldean, and Ray J. in attendance. We had so many culture warriors and more supporting me, my family, and our fight.
I am so thankful that I continually have an audience of people who listen to and support me, who respond to me, who give me good feedback, who allow me to grow, and who understand this most important mission for the future — a future which we need to determine for the sake of our children.
And it&#8217;s the reason I fight.
I’d like to share an adapted version of the speech I said last night:
<h3>Candace’s Speech:</h3>
Thank you so much. I&#8217;m honored to be here. I am honored to be able to speak out and eulogize the Black Lives Matter movement, the life and the death of an organization that tore this country apart.
What can we say about Black Lives Matter?
Well, the first thing that I would say is that we all know that it has been a scam. It has been a scam that has essentially operated with a figurative gun to every single American&#8217;s head. It is a scam that finds its basis in stupidity.
This documentary was one of the most important things for me to make, and there are a ton of people in this room that I need to thank for this moment and for bringing this to the public. But it was important for me to make because it is really the story of the most powerful entity on earth — the media.
We decided to name it “<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*1p11a6*_ga*NTk5OTMwNDMyLjE2NjM1OTAyNjM.*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTYwNjk1NC43MC4xLjE2NjU2MDg1ODcuNTkuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>” because the media is in the business of selling lies to people and fomenting hatred.
This story was personal to me because when I went out into the public sphere and I interjected just a little bit of truth about George Floyd, I was castigated not only by the media but by my own black peers. I was told that I wasn&#8217;t allowed to say the truth about George Floyd because the victim narrative felt too good.
I believe, honestly, that what we are seeing in America is an entire group of people who are being trained to race to the bottom. People are fighting to be oppressed. People want to be able to jump on board and accuse one another of oppressing each other. What I was discussing with my friend, Ye, we are very quickly arriving in a trauma economy where people want to constantly pretend to be traumatized by various instances.
What it&#8217;s ultimately doing is weakening all of us. It&#8217;s weakening all of our relationships with one another.
I think the greatest thing that it&#8217;s weakening is our relationship with God. We exist together as one nation under God, right?
It&#8217;s important to say under God — not beside God, not on top of God, not above God — but under God.
Yet this culture has largely become an atheist culture. 
And I can talk to you about how they did it to black America. It’s important to understand the story of black America, because if black America was the experiment in understanding how you could sell trauma to a group of people, then right now they are running that experiment on all human beings across the globe — focusing on black America first, and seeing what happens to a group of individuals who buys the victim narrative who believes that they can be nothing else but oppressed.
Those who buy that narrative never get ahead in their lives. They are never at the top of companies. They are consistently told that it&#8217;s because of racism and not because they have no belief in themselves. 
I want to allow you guys to watch all of that explained in the documentary, so I don&#8217;t want to say too much other than to first and foremost, thank God.
I had the most liberal route to conservatism, and I grew up in an incredibly religious household.
And I resented that when I became a teenager and throughout my college years. I became a more secular individual, convinced that atheism was the path, the path for me, but I now realize that by destroying that pillar of faith in American society, every other ill has followed.
When we talk about why it is that we have so many black Americans who can&#8217;t read and so many black Americans who can&#8217;t get ahead — it&#8217;s because after they destroyed the God pillar, they went after families.
It is why the topic of broken families is not a joke. People will tell you the incarceration rates that face black men, but they won&#8217;t communicate to you how many of those black men grew up without a father in a home.
The denigration of men that we are seeing in society with movements like MeToo, with movements like Time&#8217;s Up — fraudulent movements that are actually around just to disempower manhood and to make manhood obsolete.
Let me tell you, there is no country and there is no household within a country that can survive without strong men. We need men.
Yet the radicalized feminist movement is teaching us the exact opposite. It is teaching us that women can do it all by themselves, and that to aspire to family and to aspire to children and to aspire to be a CEO — as women are in their households — is something that should be looked down upon.
It is because they destroyed families, and it&#8217;s because black America has a 72% single motherhood rate <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna39993685" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in recent decades</a>, that we are seeing these individuals turn to the culture — naturally. The government knows that if there is not a mom and a dad sitting around the dinner table, then those kids are going to pursue maternity and paternity elsewhere.
That “elsewhere” tends to be the streets or hip-hop music, and suddenly they are emulating the people that they see on their screens and on TV shows, aspiring to that lifestyle and not aspiring to something better.
The last pillar that we have to talk about is the education system, which is teaching children to be dumb and emotional so that they can use narratives like the Black Lives Matter narrative to inspire them to go outside and act like fools.
That obviously is a killer that many people in this room have been fighting.
It is the ultimate fight, because what we are fighting for is for our children to know the truth.
And you understand that, of course, in this room, we represent counterculture. We did this counter-cultural thing, because talking about God and talking about families for whatever reason is not “mainstream.”
The most important thing is to make sure that we fight for the future of our children. They cannot survive in this world.
Thank you to my family, my team, and all who make this possible.

Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> launched her new documentary — &#8220;<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*2cvpb1*_ga*NTk5OTMwNDMyLjE2NjM1OTAyNjM.*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTYzMjMxMC43Mi4xLjE2NjU2MzI2MTUuNjAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>&#8221; — at a star-studded event in downtown Nashville Wednesday.
The BLM exposé takes a deep-dive into the multi-million dollar “grift” of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and its former Executive Director Patrisse Cullors, and offers “the true story” behind the life and death of George Floyd with never-before-seen interviews from insiders and experts.
Attendees at the packed-house event were advised to wear all black for the funeral of the BLM movement, exposed and laid to rest once and for all by Owens&#8217; documentary.
On hand to celebrate the premiere were celebrities such as Ye West, Kid Rock, Ray J., and more. Other party-goers included conservatives from around the movement.

Attendees also included King Randall I., founder of <a href="https://thexforboys.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Life Preparatory School for Boys</a>, a non-profit &#8220;with a mission to teach boys the true meaning of manhood &amp; to be protectors and providers for their communities,&#8221; who told The Daily Wire that he discovered Owens during the Blexit movement she founded.
&#8220;Candace Owens is an amazing woman,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to see what happens with &#8216;The Greatest Lie Ever Sold&#8217; because &#8230; we&#8217;ve been saying for a while that Black Lives Matter is a scam and people have called us all kinds of names, especially in the black community.&#8221;
&#8220;But I&#8217;m glad somebody, especially a black woman, is able to go and show us what&#8217;s happening behind the scenes and expose these things, that people told us, black men, we were lying about. But Candace Owens is an amazing woman, and people need to get out and see &#8216;The Greatest Lie Ever Sold.’”
The documentary, roughly 78 minutes in length, received applause throughout, several moments of laughter, and utter disbelief at what was exposed.

Patrice Cullors

The Daily Wire

As Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-greatest-lie-ever-sold-candace-owens-highly-anticipated-blm-documentary-is-here/">Candace Owens</a> prepared to drop the hammer on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter</a> with a new documentary exposing the organization’s shady financial dealings, its founder was sprucing up her pricey L.A. home, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/author/ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> noted Wednesday.
Patrice Cullors, BLM’s 39-year-old founder and former leader, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11293403/Black-Lives-Matter-founder-Patrisse-Cullors-installed-swanky-new-garden-1-4m-LA-compound.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">just finished renovations</a> on the $1.4 million Topanga Canyon home that included a &#8220;plunge pool&#8221; and backyard sauna, Shapiro told his vast podcast and radio show. The development coincided with Owens’ explosive and eagerly anticipated documentary, “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,” which will be available to Daily Wire members Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
“If you want to know more about the complete waste of money and propaganda promoted by the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/black-lives-matters-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-week" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter</a> movement, check out Candace Owens’ brand-new documentary,” Shapiro said. “Candace goes through everything regarding the George Floyd killing, as well as the Black Lives Matter associated movement that poured tens of millions of dollars into the pockets of people who look like they pretty much just absconded with the cash.”

After Floyd was killed by a Minneapolis police officer who was later convicted of murder, BLM raised an estimated $80 million from individuals and corporations eager to denounce police brutality and racism. Riots spread across the nation, causing billions in damages in big cities and small towns alike. When Owens began to question the media spin on social media, she found herself under fire.
“Back in June 2020, Candace Owens took to social media to question the narrative about George Floyd to a barrage of criticism,” Daily Wire co-founder Shapiro said. “As a result, celebrities insulted her. GoFundMe deplatformed her.”

But Owens found a home at Daily Wire, where she now hosts a wildly popular podcast of her own, and which produced the documentary.
“I know you&#8217;ve been waiting for it for months,” Shapiro said. “At this point, because of our members, we are able to create a thriving alternative platform and pursue the truth wherever it leads.
“Remember, we&#8217;re speaking for you,” he continued. “We are fighting for your values. Free speech is our greatest weapon with the left&#8217;s iron grip on culture and the mainstream media.”

Ben Shapiro: Watch Candace Owens Expose Black Lives Matter As Daily Wire Fights For Truth

Ben Shapiro

Ye, the rap and fashion mogul formerly known as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/instagram-restricts-kanye-wests-account-kanye-responds-with-shot-at-mark-zuckerberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a>, sparked new controversy Saturday night with a tweet pledging to take on “Jewish people” after finding himself restricted from his 18-million-follower Instagram account earlier in the day.
Ye, who spent the entire week in a media firestorm after appearing at a Paris fashion show with The Daily Wire’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/candace-reacts-to-kanye-west-on-tucker-carlson-tonight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> wearing matching “White Lives Matter” shirts, asked Mark Zuckerberg, whose Meta owns both Facebook and Instagram, how he could be locked out of his Instagram account. But it was a tweet some 24 hours later that raised eyebrows – and accusations of anti-Semitism.
“I&#8217;m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I&#8217;m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” Ye wrote in the since-deleted tweet. “The funny thing is I actually can&#8217;t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also. You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
A day earlier, Ye had accused rapper and erstwhile pal Diddy, who had pleaded with him to stop pushing the “White Lives Matter” slogan, of being controlled by unnamed Jewish people. Ye told Diddy he would post their private conversation, and when he followed through, Instagram apparently restricted his account.
The social media company also deleted content from the billionaire’s profile, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/internet/kanye-west-ye-instagram-anti-semitic-rcna51340" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. A spokesperson for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/meta" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meta</a>, Instagram’s parent company, confirmed the company’s decision to <a href="https://variety.com/2022/music/news/kanye-west-instagram-restricted-account-1235397055/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> and said the temporary restriction is standard for accounts that violate guidelines multiple times.
Ye has more than 31 million followers on Twitter but had not posted anything in more than a year until Friday, when he tweeted a picture of a black baseball cap with &#8220;2024&#8221; emblazoned on the bill, touching off speculation that he was considering a presidential run. Ye told Fox News Channel&#8217;s Tucker Carlson Friday night, in the second segment of a two-part interview, that he &#8220;will eventually&#8221; be president.
Ye followed up the baseball cap tweet early Saturday with one asking Zuckerberg, “How you gone (sic) kick me off Instagram?” which prompted Ye pal and possibly soon-to-be Twitter owner Elon Musk to offer a digital greeting.
“Welcome back to Twitter, my friend!” <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1578769394536452097?s=20&amp;t=z1jEahNioO0m0tBLkYI_yA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Musk tweeted</a>.
In addition to blasting Zuckerberg, Ye told Carlson Thursday that former President Trump&#8217;s adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had not served Trump well. He questioned Kushner&#8217;s motives in helping to secure the 2020 Abraham Accords, a U.S.-mediated treaty that established diplomatic relations between Israel and two Muslim nations, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
&#8220;I just think it was to make money,&#8221; Ye said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know &#8230; I just think that that&#8217;s what they&#8217;re about is making money. I don&#8217;t think that they have the ability to make anything on their own. I think they were born into money.&#8221;
Ye most recently tweeted a call to support the uprising in Iran, where citizens led by hijab-eschewing women are rebelling against the repressive Islamist theocracy.
“Iranian youth are leading a revolution against 44 years of dictatorship,” <a href="https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1578972736957059072?s=20&amp;t=z1jEahNioO0m0tBLkYI_yA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ye wrote</a>. “The world needs to support them and honor their courage.”
Sunday afternoon, Twitter reportedly locked Ye out of his account, although his deleted tweets were still visible.

Ye Sparks New Controversy With Deleted Tweet About ‘Jewish People’

Ye Sparks New Controversy With Deleted Tweet About 'Jewish People'

Daily Wire

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/black-lives-matter">Black Lives Matter</a>&#8216;s brand took an absolute beatdown this week, largely at the hands of Daily Wire host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">Candace Owens</a> and billionaire rapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west">Kanye West</a>.
The cultural figures, who&#8217;ve become increasingly close since West in 2018 said he likes &#8220;the way Candace Owens thinks,&#8221; rebuffed the controversial organization during Paris Fashion Week on Monday with head-turning “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2">White Lives Matter</a>” shirts, and ended the week with Owens&#8217; drop of the West-promoted documentary &#8220;<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*1h0q1ro*_ga*MjA1NDI4NTExNy4xNjY0OTEwNDc2*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTA4MjkwMS45LjEuMTY2NTA5MjIxNS4xOC4wLjA">The Greatest Lie Ever Sold</a>,&#8221; an exposé on BLM’s shady finances and suspect rise to utter ubiquity.
The bad press for BLM was sparked on Monday, when the internet was set ablaze by Owens and West <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paris-provocateurs-kanye-west-candace-owens-rock-white-lives-matter-shirts-at-fashion-show">donning</a> the &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; shirts during a fashion show in Paris.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
And the heat only turned up when both Owens and West refused to back down from the statement shirts and openly bashed Black Lives Matter.
“Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” West bluntly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens">said</a> on Instagram to his 18 millions followers on Tuesday. “Now it’s over, you’re welcome.” The fashion designer later defiantly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/they-do-kanye-west-doubles-down-on-white-lives-matter-messaging">posted</a>, “Here’s my latest response when people ask me why I made a tee that says white lives matter… THEY DO.”

The &#8220;Donda&#8221; rapper would later veer from BLM messaging during an interview with Fox New host Tucker Carlson, emphasizing his pro-life views and his turn from the Democrat Party.
Owens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2">refused to back down</a>, too, challenging critics to stop focusing on the shirt and instead on real threats to the black community, like abortion, obesity, the breakdown of the family, and black-on-black crime.

“If ‘black lives matter,’ then some of these things that we have been talking about on this show, things I’ve been talking about throughout my entire political career, would be getting attention, not the t-shirt,” Owens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2">said</a> on her podcast Tuesday.
The BLEXIT founder culminated her takedown of BLM Thursday by dropping the highly-anticipated documentary, &#8220;The Greatest Lie Ever Sold.&#8221;

After Owens dropped the trailer for the documentary via Twitter to her 3.1 million followers, West followed up by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kanyewest/">posting the clip</a> to his nearly 18 million Instagram followers.

Aside from examining BLM&#8217;s serious financial troubles, the damning film offers viewers “the true story” behind the life and death of George Floyd and the rise of the movement with never-before-seen interviews from insiders and experts.
“Riots, violence, and biblical heresy — that is the true story behind the George Floyd story,” the “Candace” host says in the documentary. “You look around you, and you see what is left — a story that made its way around the world. Do you see $90 million invested in this community? Where did that money go?”
The best-selling author notably dropped the trailer for the documentary with a post rebuffing a “Black Lives Matter” tweet from actor and singer Jaden Smith.
“Ironically, you suffer from a life of tremendous white privilege,” Owens told Smith. “You say ‘black lives matter’ not because you mean it, but because you hope it provides you legitimacy within a community you never knew.&#8221;
&#8220;The fraudulent BLM will be exposed on 10/12,” she said.
Tagging Smith, Owens asserted, “Please wear black out of respect for the demise of the movement which led black America into further poverty, incarceration, and despair.”

Black Lives Matter’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week

Candace And Kanye’s Takedown Of Black Lives Matter

Unless you&#8217;ve been hiding under a rock, you know that Kanye West — who now goes by Ye West — and I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-20-how-gentle-parenting-is-ruining-your-kids-2">were in Paris at his Yeezy fashion show</a>, wearing t-shirts that said “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-and-candaces-white-lives-matter-moment-and-why-its-so-important-right-now">White Lives Matter.&#8221;</a> He went on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-tucker-carlson-visits-a-defiant-kanye-west-at-his-yeezy-office-west-posts-to-instagram">Fox News’s Tucker Carlson Tonight</a> for an extensive interview Thursday night, and I’d like to give my thoughts on that today.
So the morning after we wore the shirts, when I saw Ye, I asked him if he should respond to it. I actually was thinking we should just say nothing about it and just appreciate the art that was the response. Because the response we knew we were going to get was really a commentary on society.
For years we were told that saying “<a href="https://youtu.be/CP3n5SvOqck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Lives Matter</a>” was not divisive, saying “Black Lives Matter” was not a form of black supremacy, and saying “Black Lives Matter” was a righteous thing to say. People were, of course, then okay with people who said, “Asian Lives Matter” because that phrase is not divisive.
In fact, you can just insert any race for that word — except for white.
The same people championing BLM suddenly said that “White Lives Matter” was an expression of white supremacy.
Personally, I was comfortable to just allow people to scream and to shout and while we sit back and appreciate the art in it. But then Ye decided it was time to say something else, because he&#8217;s not just an artist, right?  He is more than that. He has always been more than just an artist, or a rapper, or a producer, or a fashion designer.
So he went on Tucker Carlson Thursday night and his interview provided a very different version of Ye West than the one his critics portray him as — everybody says he’s completely insane, he’s thoughtless, and on and on.
But here’s what he actually sounds like:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WATCH?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WATCH</a> | “I&#39;m pro-life […] there&#39;s more black babies being aborted than born in New York City at this point. 50% of black death in America is abortion. So I really don’t care about people’s responses, I perform for an audience of one, and that&#39;s God”: Kanye West. <a href="https://t.co/ds4Kwyoc8G">pic.twitter.com/ds4Kwyoc8G</a>
&mdash; El American (@ElAmerican_) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElAmerican_/status/1578200268952539137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2022</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
He also explained, “People, they&#8217;re looking for an explanation and people say, &#8216;Well, as an artist, you don&#8217;t have to give an explanation,&#8217; but as a leader, you do.
“So the answer to why I wrote ‘White Lives Matter’ on a shirt is because they do,” he added. “It’s the obvious thing.”
Amazing. He was incredibly measured and profound.
And it&#8217;s profound in its simplicity, right? They do.
It is true. White lives matter. Black lives matter. Asian lives matter. All lives matter.
Unfortunately, we live in a society that is unwilling to admit that it is a form of racism. When you&#8217;re only angry, when you say “White Lives Matter,” right? It is such a strange time to live in that people think that they are legitimate in treating white people as if they&#8217;re not allowed to speak in society anymore.
And how incredible is he in wearing this lanyard and speaking to this understanding that what we do matters only to God? 
Right, and what is happening in black America is a form of genocide. What is happening in terms of the abortion industry and its deep history related to eugenics and Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. What is happening in the black community and America is unacceptable.
It is such a cultural moment that West had the courage to go on Tucker Carlson and to hold the line and not to completely collapse, because people on the Left are basically demanding that he be silenced. They no longer want him. People in fashion, the big models, anybody with power in that industry are basically saying he needs to go. He&#8217;s just a bully.
The media are completely silent about the fact that others are describing him as mentally ill.
Imagine describing a black man who has the courage to speak out on the death industry of abortion, and saying, “Oh that’s just somebody who is mentally ill and disturbed.”
Right. That&#8217;s not a form of racism? But they&#8217;ve remained silent on the topics of abortion, broken families, crime, drugs and all the other things we talked about earlier this week.
The critics only want to speak out now because he wore a t-shirt that says “White Lives Matter.”

Candace Reacts To Kanye West On ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ 

Fox News

Paris

Tucker Carlson

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Sharon Osbourne</a> doesn’t understand what message <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west">Kanye West</a> is sending with White Lives Matter apparel, but she does agree with his belief that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/black-lives-matter">Black Lives Matter</a> is a scam.
The British TV personality made the comments when <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/07/sharon-osbourne-agrees-kanye-west-blm-scam-wants-money-back/">asked</a> by a TMZ reporter how she felt about the recent controversy with Ye debuting White Lives Matter shirts at his Paris fashion show. The reporter repeatedly asked Osbourne’s opinion on the matter, and she maintained her confusion over the whole controversy.
“I don’t understand why white lives don’t matter,” she said. “I don’t understand it. Listen, it’s not my thing, it’s not my culture. I don’t understand any of it. Everybody matters, don’t they?”
“Do you agree with Kanye’s point?” the reporter pressed.

After saying she’s not sure what Ye’s point is, the reporter explained how he says <a href="https://get.dailywire.com/the-greatest-lie/subscribe-v2?utm_campaign=greatestlie&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=email&amp;utm_content=publicity&amp;cid=greatestlie&amp;mid=e&amp;xid=0&amp;_gl=1*1h0q1ro*_ga*MjA1NDI4NTExNy4xNjY0OTEwNDc2*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTY2NTA4MjkwMS45LjEuMTY2NTA5MjIxNS4xOC4wLjA">Black Lives Matter is a scam</a>.
“Oh, well, yeah,” Osbourne replied. “We gave $900,000 to that, and I’d like my money back,” she said with a laugh. “Wish he could have said that before!” she quipped.
Next the reporter asked if it’s “appropriate” to cancel West for what he’s doing.
“Nope!” Osbourne replied. She recommended that anyone upset with the “Donda” rapper should stop listening to his music and stop following him on social media, but she said he’s free to do and say what he wants.

In 2021, the 69-year-old former reality star and wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne was ousted from her daytime talk show “The Talk” for alleged “racist” rhetoric. At the time, Osbourne was defending her friend Piers Morgan for his criticism of Meghan Markle’s tell-all Oprah interview.
“I feel like I’m about to be put in the electric chair because I have a friend who many people think is racist, so that makes me a racist,” Osbourne shared during the show, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sharon-osbourne-and-piers-morgan-headed-back-to-tv-after-being-ousted">reported</a>. “I will ask you again Sheryl … and don’t try and cry because if anyone should be crying, it should be me. This is the situation, you tell me where you have heard him say racist things. Educate me.”
“It’s not the exact words of racism,” then-co-host Sheryl Underwood replied. “It’s the implication and the reaction to it. To not want to address that because [Markle] is a black woman and to try to dismiss it, or to make it seem like less than what it is, that’s what makes it racist.”
Osbourne later apologized, and the show was put on hiatus. But later, she expressed anger at CBS for not taking her side and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cbs-sucks-big-time-sharon-osbourne-gives-scathing-reply-to-whether-shed-return-to-the-talk-after-whoopi-goldbergs-light-punishment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> she would “never” go back to the show because the network “sucks big time d***.”

Billionaire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye West</a> and The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Candace Owens</a> shocked the internet this week when they donned “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>” apparel at Paris Fashion Week — and further enraged the media, brainwashed celebs, and cultural gatekeepers when they refused to back down.
At a time when Big Tech, American institutions, and the State are tightening its grip on policing thoughts and actions, West and Owens&#8217; &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; moment is actually not about provocation, but a strong signal that the Left&#8217;s policing doesn&#8217;t have to be tolerated.

Because the Left has unfortunately created strict parameters for our famous and racial and ethnic groups, West and Owens bucking norms is uniquely attention-grabbing, and uniquely challenging.
With West, his impressive success is supposed to be conditioned by his public political statements. We&#8217;ve seen actors and performers ostracized from their careers for daring to voice any out-of-narrative view at all; it&#8217;s just not allowed. The &#8220;Donda&#8221; rapper is supposed to be hamstrung by his race, too. A black man is not supposed to look at a Republican, let alone wear a MAGA hat in the Oval office with Donald Trump, or wear a t-shirt that says white lives matter. And, most importantly, our rich and famous can say they believe in God, sure, but they can&#8217;t believe in or live out Biblical truths.

Notably, the fashion designer was never called crazy or attacked by our elites when he was ridiculing conservatives, or when he was engaging in truly ungodly behavior. But when he went off script, the attacks were constant.
Lucky for West, and for common folks, it seems he&#8217;s just too big to fail.

Owens&#8217; parameters are similar to West&#8217;s but not exactly the same. As a black person, especially one in politics, Owens is not supposed to challenge the Democrat Party narrative. Black folks who are out-of-step with the narrative will be smeared with nasty racial insults, like being called an &#8220;Uncle Tom&#8221; or told they aren&#8217;t black enough. And as a young woman, Owens, 33, is also not supposed to stand up for the unborn; she&#8217;s supposed to be a feminist helping Planned Parenthood bring in cash, which will in turn <a href="https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/planned-parenthood/C00314617/candidate-recipients/2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fund more Democrats</a>. Her defiance — not only blunt but backed by meticulous research — is an extra hard slap in the face to these established norms.
So when West and Owens emblazoned something so simple and true, yet so out-of-narrative on their shirts like &#8220;White Lives Matter,&#8221; the Left panicked, and then quickly attacked. The pair were accused of anti-black <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kanye-west-white-lives-matter-shirt-candace-owens-fashion-show-backlash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racism</a> and even <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/kanye-west-blasted-ahmaud-arbery-mother-white-lives-matter-shirt-1235151367/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">violence</a>, among other absurd transgressions.
But they did not recoil, which was the ultimate signal that the Left&#8217;s grip on policing can be slipped.
West, for example, on Instagram <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-west-calls-black-lives-matter-a-scam-declares-it-over-after-wearing-white-lives-matter-shirt-with-candace-owens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement a &#8220;scam&#8221; and officially “over.” “Everyone knows that Black Lives Matter was a scam,” he posted to his nearly 18 million followers. “Now it’s over, you’re welcome.”

He also told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that abortion, largely at the hands of racist Planned Parenthood, is a genocide on black people.
Owens, too, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has refused to back down</a>, challenging critics to stop focusing on the shirt and instead on real threats to the black community, like abortion, obesity, the breakdown of the family, and black-on-black crime.
“If ‘black lives matter,’ then some of these things that we have been talking about on this show, things I’ve been talking about throughout my entire political career, would be getting attention, not the t-shirt,” Owens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-17-white-lives-matter-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on her podcast Tuesday.
Some might be quick to criticize West and Owens for only going provocation, but they couldn&#8217;t be more wrong; the message and the pair&#8217;s subsequent statements are far deeper, and far more important.
