Strive Asset Management executive chairman <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a> balked at the possibility of a “central bank digital currency” in the United States during an <a href="https://twitter.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1597370057805352960" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The entrepreneur rejected the notion that a <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital dollar</a> managed by the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/federal-reserve" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Federal Reserve</a> would be beneficial for the <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">economy</a>, asserting that the project would instead open citizens to government censorship and surveillance. Ramaswamy also dismissed the idea that adopting such a currency system would render the United States more competitive with China, which has launched a digital yuan and is encouraging residents to pivot toward the new medium of exchange.
“That’s a good path to get us to be more like China,” Ramaswamy said, “which is not a good way for the U.S. to go in terms of being a surveillance state, and actually it’s exactly for that reason that if you think about it, the U.S. could actually have a stronger dollar if it does not jump onto the CBDC bandwagon, because people might want to actually hold a currency that doesn’t allow them to be the subject of surveillance and control.”
Unlike bitcoin, ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, digital assets managed by central banks are not decentralized and are tethered to their analog counterparts. Ramaswamy said that proponents of CBDCs in the United States subscribe to the “fetishization of the strong dollar,” which harms American manufacturers, and noted that China intentionally depreciates the yuan on foreign exchange markets to benefit its exporters, as overseas buyers are more likely to purchase goods from Chinese sources as long as exchange rates are more favorable.
Carlson asked how gold markets will respond to a digital dollar, prompting Ramaswamy to predict that “when ultimately all forms of paper become meaningless and actually go into digital currencies that could be means of governments effectuating control, that might be the last stand for gold finally having the last laugh at the end of the day.”
The discussion of a potential virtual currency in the United States comes as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York partners with leading financial institutions such as BNY Mellon and Mastercard to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-reserve-launches-digital-dollar-initiative-days-after-leading-cryptocurrency-firm-goes-under" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pioneer</a> a digital dollar simulation. The test will determine whether the project is feasible for broader rollout and could lead to technical design insights.
The digital dollar test began days after cryptocurrency company FTX suddenly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/30-year-old-billionaire-loses-entire-fortune-overnight-as-his-bahamas-based-cryptocurrency-empire-implodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared bankruptcy</a> following a liquidity crisis, leading to bankruptcies among <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crypto-company-blockfi-files-for-bankruptcy-after-ftx-collapse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other exchange platforms</a>. Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, allegedly used trading firm Alameda Research to make investments using client funds, while executives underestimated the amount FTX needed to keep in reserves should customers want to remove their assets. Regulators at the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission have launched investigations into the company, while members of the House Financial Services Committee plan to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bipartisan-committee-to-hear-from-sam-bankman-fried-and-crypto-allies-next-month" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold a hearing</a> on the fallout next month.
An earlier <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/january-2022-cbdc.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paper</a> from the Federal Reserve argued that a central bank digital currency would preserve the international role of the dollar while mitigating pitfalls from cryptocurrencies, such as liquidity risk and credit risk. A digital dollar could be privacy-protected, intermediated through digital wallets offered by the private sector, and transferable between customers of different intermediaries, while identity verification from banks would also discourage money laundering.

Daily Wire Investigative Reporter Luke Rosiak appeared on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fox-news">‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’</a> Monday evening to share a story he broke for the Daily Wire about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jetblue-wont-hire-the-unvaxxed-but-hired-violent-felon-to-fly-planes">bizarre hiring practices at JetBlue</a>.
The show began by assessing the widespread mass protests across China against the regime of Xi Jinping and his repressive ‘Zero COVID’ policies, which appear to be the largest internal outcry against the Chinese Communist Party in decades. The program also condemned several U.S. public officials and various corporate entities and prominent citizens, such as John Kirby of the National Security Council, the NBA and reporter Taylor Lorenz.
Carlson claimed that greed or complicity had caused them to stay silent on China’s crackdown against its own citizens, noting that some of them had advocated for the kind of COVID policy that Xi had put into practice and a few had even praised the authoritarian regime for its approach to the pandemic.
Carlson later brought on Rosiak to discuss the case of John Perrys, a convicted felon and reported employee of JetBlue who in 2005 broke into a judge’s home and assaulted his daughter as she came out of the shower. Perrys was released in 2014 and according to the <a href="http://www.dc.state.fl.us/offenderSearch/detail.aspx?Page=Detail&amp;DCNumber=A50372&amp;TypeSearch=AO">Florida Department of Corrections</a>, he will be on felony probation until 2044.
Perrys&#8217; hiring has caused controversy because his employer is unwilling to hire pilots who have not been vaccinated against COVID in the name of ‘safety.’
“Apparently JetBlue won’t hire unvaccinated pilots, but they will hire violent convicted felons to fly their airplanes,” one pilot said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Roughly a year ago JetBlue implemented a company-wide vaccine mandate, arguing in public that as a federal contractor they were required to do so by a Biden Administration rule. The relevant rule, however, has been delayed, then blocked by an injunction which was only lifted last month, and even now is <a href="https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/contractors/">not actively being enforced</a>.
Rosiak and Carlson both lambasted the mandate and characterized it as incoherent and counter productive, since new data indicates that a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-vaccinated-now-make-up-majority-of-covid-deaths">majority of people currently dying from COVID-19 are vaccinated.</a>
“They won’t hire you if you haven&#8217;t had the vaxx, but they did hire John Perrys,” Rosiak noted, “And interestingly enough, I thought you would get a kick out of this, the crime he was convicted of was assault with a deadly weapon while wearing a mask.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> slammed left-wing media coverage of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/at-least-5-dead-18-wounded-in-mass-shooting-at-colorado-gay-nightclub-white_check_mark-eyes-heavy_plus_sign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado shooting</a> for ignoring the mass shooter&#8217;s alleged non-binary identity.
Appearing on &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; Wednesday, Walsh slammed the left-wing media for ignoring or trying to downplay the fact that the alleged shooter <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/colorado-shooter-identifies-as-non-binary-uses-they-them-pronouns-court-documents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identifies as non-binary</a>. Because the left-wing media has put so much stock into transgender identity, they cannot ignore the shooter identifying as trans, by their own rules, and must be held to account.
&#8220;Well, I mean, we’re all owed apologies, but — I’ve seen these people enough to know that I’m not going to sit around and hold my breath waiting for the apology,&#8221; Walsh told Carlson. &#8220;I think it’s just really kind of amazing to watch, especially &#8230; CNN, where they immediately just deny this person’s self-identity. And I think the point that we want to get across is if you’re on the Left, okay, you can’t do that. That is not available to you. You’re not allowed to do that, by your own precedent, by your own philosophy, by the rules that you have set, and we&#8217;re gonna hold you to them.&#8221;
&#8220;Now you and I, Tucker, we&#8217;re allowed to say that this mass shooter who calls himself &#8216;non-binary,&#8217; we&#8217;re allowed to say, &#8216;that’s nonsense. Non-binary isn&#8217;t even a thing, you can’t even be that,’” Walsh continued. &#8220;But on the Left, they’ve made it clear that the only evidence that needs to be provided in order to prove that someone is non-binary is they say it. And what they&#8217;ve also told us repeatedly is that the idea that somebody would adopt one of these identities in a self-serving way, like for example, a convicted male felon who&#8217;s in prison who all of a sudden discovers his inner female identity. To speculate that maybe he&#8217;s doing that so that he could have access to female inmates in women’s prisons, we&#8217;re told that, &#8216;no, you can’t speculate, that’s an awful thing to suggest.’”
“So that’s them [the Left] saying that, which means they’re stuck with this. As far as they’re concerned, this person is nonbinary. Now, what is he actually? I don&#8217;t know, I think it&#8217;s pretty clear he&#8217;s just a crazy guy. That’s what actually happened,” Walsh said.
&#8220;What we need to realize with the left-wing media is that when there&#8217;s a mass shooting, if we don&#8217;t know everything about the person&#8217;s life and we haven&#8217;t seen all of their social media posts within the first two hours after the shooting, it almost always means that this is not a right-winger,&#8221; Walsh went on. &#8220;Like, if it&#8217;s a right-winger who committed the attack, we&#8217;re gonna know everything about them immediately. But it was very suspicious and conspicuous that up until two, three days pass, and we knew almost nothing about this guy. All we had was speculation from the media, and then this shoe drops telling us that &#8216;oh, actually, he identifies as nonbinary.&#8217; So, that’s not a coincidence. They gave themselves time to get their preferred narrative out before the truth got out.&#8221;
&#8220;The left is determined to politicize these things immediately and use them as political ammunition,&#8221; he added. &#8220;What it means is that we can’t have any actual, needed conversations about why this stuff happens. As you point out, pharmaceuticals. Also, one of the few details we know about this guy is that he comes from a broken home, his mother has warrants out for her arrest, his father is estranged, he&#8217;s like a porn star drug smuggler. I mean he comes from this tumultuous broken home, which, of course, doesn&#8217;t begin to excuse it, but it does indicate that when kids are raised in that kind of environment, it makes it much more likely that they&#8217;re gonna lash out violently.”
“That’s a conversation we should really be having about the effects of broken homes and the disintegration of the nuclear family, and how that contributes to violence,” Walsh continued. “But we can&#8217;t talk about that, because as soon as the Left realizes that they can’t use it for their political advantage, we don’t talk about it anymore and it goes away. And that’s why this story is going away as far as media is concerned.&#8221;

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) said during an interview this week that Miami-Dade County, Florida&#8217;s largest county and a Democrat stronghold, is turning red because of conservatism.
DeSantis made the remarks during an interview Monday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson when asked what has led to the shift in the county.
DeSantis responded that his administration&#8217;s policies during the pandemic saved people&#8217;s jobs, their businesses, and kept their children in school.
&#8220;The Democratic Party opposed me on every single one of those policies and they wanted basically indefinite lockdowns and school closures, and that is not good for blue-collar people,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;We also have done very strong on crime. When you had the (George) Floyd riots, I immediately called out the National Guard, we were not going to let that happen in Florida, we are a law and order state. And they know I&#8217;m a law and order governor, I think that&#8217;s important.&#8221;
&#8220;And then I also think we reflect their values,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;As parents raising kids, we fought Disney to make sure that kids wouldn&#8217;t be sexualized in elementary school by keeping things like gender ideology out of the classroom. But yet it&#8217;s the left that wants to put all that in there. So I think you just see Latinos down here, but really blue collar people generally, saying we&#8217;re representing them, we are standing up for them, their jobs, their education, their safety and their families.&#8221;
&#8220;So I once saw Frank Luntz, who&#8217;s a famous Republican pollster, tell Republican members of Congress if they wanted to win Hispanic votes, they had to move left,&#8221; Carlson responded. &#8220;You&#8217;re saying you&#8217;ve won those votes by moving right.&#8221;
&#8220;Absolutely, and including on immigration,&#8221; DeSantis responded. &#8220;My first year, we banned sanctuary cities, and news media thought that that would be not approved down here. And yet, Hispanic voters in Florida had the highest approval rating for our policy to ban sanctuary cities. We did the transport to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, and people thought that this was going to be so bad and yet Hispanic voters backed me on doing that because they understand the border is out of control. So I think it&#8217;s on all of these issues. But clearly, the Republican establishment view that you need open borders and amnesty to appeal to Hispanic voters in the United States is dead wrong. It was wrong then. And it&#8217;s clearly been proven to be wrong now.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>TUCKER CARLSON: There&#8217;s probably no county in America more symbolically important to the Democratic Party than Miami Dade, in Florida, South Florida. New polling there indicates that Ron DeSantis, who&#8217;s running for re-election as governor of the state of Florida may win Miami Dade, which is pretty unbelievable. So why? How did Ron DeSantis, who served for one term was governor of Florida, apparently shift Miami Dade Republican? What is going on here, exactly? Not all disinformation we suspect. Ron DeSantis joins us tonight. Governor, thanks so much. 
RON DESANTIS: Hey, how are you? 
CARLSON: Great! So, you know, these are just polls, but it does seem possible that you will win Miami Dade, which wouldn&#8217;t have seemed possible two years ago. So what exactly is going on here? To what do you attribute, there&#8217;s clearly been a shift, why?
DESANTIS: I think there&#8217;s a number of factors. I mean, one, I was the governor that was saving their jobs, their businesses, and keeping their kids in school during COVID. The Democratic Party opposed me on every single one of those policies and they wanted basically indefinite lockdowns and school closures, and that is not good for blue collar people. We also have done very strong on crime. When you had the Floyd riots, I immediately called out the National Guard, we were not going to let that happen in Florida, we are a law and order state. And they know I&#8217;m a law and order governor, I think that&#8217;s important. And then I also think we reflect their values, as parents raising kids, we fought Disney to make sure that kids wouldn&#8217;t be sexualized in elementary school by keeping things like gender ideology out of the classroom. But yet it&#8217;s the left that wants to put all that in there. So I think you just see Latinos down here, but really blue collar people generally, saying we&#8217;re representing them, we are standing up for them, their jobs, their education, their safety and their families.
CARLSON: So I once saw Frank Luntz, who&#8217;s a famous Republican pollster, tell Republican members of Congress if they wanted to win Hispanic votes, they had to move left. You&#8217;re saying you&#8217;ve won those votes by moving right.
DESANTIS: Absolutely, and including on immigration. My first year, we banned sanctuary cities, and news media thought that that would be not approved down here. And yet, Hispanic voters in Florida had the highest approval rating for our policy to ban sanctuary cities. We did the transport to Martha&#8217;s Vineyard, and people thought that this was going to be so bad and yet Hispanic voters backed me on doing that because they understand the border is out of control. So I think it&#8217;s on all of these issues. But clearly, the Republican establishment view that you need open borders and amnesty to appeal to Hispanic voters in the United States is dead wrong. It was wrong then. And it&#8217;s clearly been proven to be wrong now.
CARLSON: They&#8217;ve been saying it for 30 years. This is just an amazing experiment in democracy, actually. Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida on the eve of the election. Thank you so much.
DESANTIS: Thank you.</blockquote>

After insiders at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/vanderbilt-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vanderbilt University Medical Center</a> told The Daily Wire that they fear transgender surgeries on minors would eventually resume, host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/matt-walsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matt Walsh</a> affirmed why states need to create laws to ban such practices.
Walsh said during an interview Wednesday with Fox News host Tucker Carlson that places like Vanderbilt have become a &#8220;hub&#8221; for the sexual mutilation of children, which recently stopped the procedures following a videotape uncovered by The Daily Wire host exposing the practices. However, a recent report from three sources at the institution said the moment the public relieves pressure — the &#8220;liberal-led&#8221; university would continue to push them through.
&#8220;They will if they can get away with it, which is why we can&#8217;t rely on these institutions to police themselves,&#8221; Walsh said.
Walsh called on lawmakers to create legislation prohibiting doctors from performing procedures classified as so-called “gender-affirming care.”
&#8220;There have to be laws now — and I think most Americans, when they hear about this, are shocked to find out that there aren&#8217;t already laws banning doctors from doing cosmetic double mastectomies on teenage girls or sterilizing and castrating kids.&#8221;
United States Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine has recently made headlines after slamming laws that would dictate when children could begin receiving &#8220;a range of medical treatments and evaluations … of people who are transgender and transgender youth.&#8221;
&#8220;And we do not need state laws and actions that dictate principles of transgender medical care by us pediatric experts,&#8221; Levine <a href="https://newschannel9.com/news/nation-world/rachel-levine-slams-laws-dictating-when-children-can-begin-transgender-medical-therapies-biden-administration-trans-lgbtq" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
However, Levine has faced backlash from medical professionals that have challenged the idea that &#8220;treatments and evaluations&#8221; like puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones are medically necessary and safe for minors.
Florida&#8217;s Department of Health has stated that conducting those procedures on minors lacked &#8220;conclusive evidence&#8221; and could lead to potential &#8220;long-term, irreversible effects.&#8221;
Puberty blockers, known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) substances, received a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fda-officials-warn-of-brain-swelling-vision-loss-in-minors-using-puberty-blockers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">warning</a> from U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials earlier this year, saying the drug could cause brain swelling, loss of vision, and serious risks for children being injected with the hormone.
Officials said a plausible association between using puberty blockers and pseudotumor cerebri, which displays symptoms similar to a brain tumor, was identified in six young girls between the ages of five and 12. Symptoms in the patients included visual disturbances, headaches, and vomiting. Other effects GnRH agonists caused were an increase in blood pressure, brain swelling, and abducens neuropathy.
Institutions like Vanderbilt would be free to resume gender surgeries on children if a law weren&#8217;t in place.
But Walsh has charged supporters to fight for the protection of children&#8217;s health, to call on state legislators to implement laws and guardrails preventing institutions from performing irreversible procedures.
&#8220;The fact that Vanderbilt was even willing to put a pause on these procedures is an example of pressure from the Right, causing a left-wing institution to cave at least temporarily, which is significant in its own right,&#8221; Walsh said. &#8220;But of course, we&#8217;re not going to just rely on them to continue on their own.&#8221;
On Friday, Walsh is hosting the &#8220;Rally to End Child Mutilation&#8221; in Nashville, Tennessee, at the state Capitol. Speakers will include Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), state Senator Jack Johnson, and state Rep. William Lamberth. Former congresswoman, Democratic Party member, and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard has also recently joined the list of speakers for Friday&#8217;s rally.

The Daily Wire&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">Candace Owens</a> said Monday it was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kanye-west" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kanye &#8220;Ye&#8221; West</a>&#8216;s idea to rock those famous &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-and-candaces-white-lives-matter-moment-and-why-its-so-important-right-now" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White Lives Matter</a>&#8221; shirts at his Paris fashion show, adding that she knew right away what West was articulating.
Owens and West on Friday set the internet on fire when they rocked the shirts at Paris Fashion Week, flanked by models wearing clothes emblazoned with the same twist on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/black-lives-matter">Black Lives Matter</a>.
&#8220;I did it because Kanye called me and he said that he needed me to be there at the show, and he needed me to be a part of the show,&#8221; the popular podcast host told Fox News&#8217;s Tucker Carlson. &#8220;When he told me what he had in mind, wearing these t-shirts  — which, by the way,  he told me the day of — I instantly understood what he was trying to do and what the artistic expression was.&#8221;
&#8220;What is offered was a stunning commentary on the hypocrisy of the society that we live in,&#8221; Owens explained. &#8220;For years we were told that &#8216;black lives matter&#8217; was not an exclusionary phrase.&#8221;
However, when the shirts were worn, both Owens and West were accused of racism and even violence.
&#8220;We put on a t-shirt to actually do something that was inclusive, to say, actually, white Americans, you are allowed to be a part of this, too, because literally all lives matter — and, in fact, no lives have been mattering,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;Black Americans are suffering as a result of black lives matter,&#8221; Owens continued. &#8220;We know that their neighborhoods have been rioted, and in inner city communities, businesses have been moving out of there. The result of Black Lives Matter has been white supremacy.&#8221;
&#8220;We got to say all of that with one t-shirt,&#8221; she added.

Candace Reveals Who Was Behind ‘White Lives Matter’ Shirts, Meaning Of The Statement

Kanye West

Rapper Kanye West took a shot at ex-wife Kim Kardashian in an interview this week for the message that she sends to little girls.
West made the remarks during a wide-ranging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-praises-candace-owens-flames-legacy-media-in-wide-ranging-interview-with-tucker-carlson">interview</a> Friday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after arriving back in the U.S. from France where he attended the Paris Fashion Week.
West said that his ex-wife was a &#8220;hybrid,&#8221; that &#8220;she&#8217;s not just Marilyn Monroe &#8230; she&#8217;s also a fashion person. She&#8217;s also a mom. She&#8217;s also an activist. She&#8217;s a lawyer. She&#8217;s a multibillionaire.&#8221;
Kardashian is not yet a lawyer and her legal dreams could be in trouble given allegations mounted by the Security and Exchange Commission related to an alleged “pump and dump” scheme, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/10/03/kim-kardashians-lawyer-aspirations-could-be-jeopardy-in-light-of-sec-pump-and-dump-scandal/">reported</a>.
&#8220;She&#8217;s hot. She&#8217;s one of the most beautiful people of all time,&#8221; West continued. &#8220;And when you see a headline that says, Kim says, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;m going to stay single forever,&#8217; that&#8217;s the indoctrination, like, because they want this person to tell all the little girls out there that they need to be single forever. You know, all moms — I know there&#8217;s definitely people watching.&#8221;
&#8220;Do you think that? So you don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s an organic, natural thing?&#8221; Carlson asked. &#8220;I mean, that&#8217;s a message that she is being used to send?&#8221;
&#8220;Absolutely,&#8221; West responded.
During part one of his interview with Carlson, West also discussed his ex-wife&#8217;s relationship with the Clintons. He said that he had no idea how close Kardashian was to the Clinton family and that he believes they tried to manipulate him through her.
Carlson had said that Kardashian was “part of” the attempt to get West to not like former President Donald Trump dating back to when Trump decided to run for office.
“It was wild that I didn’t know how close my own wife was to the Clintons,” West said. “I didn’t know. You know, I didn’t realize it at the time.”
When asked how close Kardashian was to the Clintons, West responded, “I mean, cell phone away, like, or ‘hey, tell Ye to say this way, or, hey, go out and use your platform to push the vaccination away’ — I mean, not away but, like, take the away part — but, you know…”
When asked if he felt like he had been manipulated through his wife, West responded that it was an “attempt at manipulation.”

Kanye West Flames Ex-Wife In Interview Over Message She Sends To Little Girls

Kim Kardashian

Rapper Kanye West slammed companies that hire Black Lives Matter &#8220;managers&#8221; in an interview this week, and he took specific aim at Nike.
West made the remarks during a wide-ranging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-praises-candace-owens-flames-legacy-media-in-wide-ranging-interview-with-tucker-carlson">interview</a> Friday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after arriving back in the U.S. from France where he attended the Paris Fashion Week.
&#8220;One idea that was in my head about three minutes ago that I really want to say is that&#8217;s really interesting about the — when companies get the BLM managers,&#8221; West said. &#8220;Black Lives Matter office manager, it&#8217;s basically you get a semi-influential black person to become the face of a white company.&#8221;
&#8220;So that means, like, in the design world, in the art world, they actually would pick artists that were less talented than other artists based on their influence, not based on their actual work, because everyone is vying for influence and an opinion. Everyone is afraid of losing their opinion,&#8221; Kanye continued. &#8220;So, with Nike, right? Nike is as famous as — you would say Nike is more famous than PayPal, right?&#8221;
West said that Apple was the most famous company in the world followed by companies like McDonalds, PayPal, and others.
&#8220;So, what number company do you think Nike is, the Nike? Number 321,&#8221; West said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not there to be as big a financial company as it can be. It&#8217;s there as an influencer because black people love Nike. So, Nike is like a company that is redlining and gerrymandering black people.&#8221;
&#8220;So, the reason why Gap wanted me to go to Gap, it wasn&#8217;t based on, &#8216;oh we need to get our stocks up.&#8217; You know, it&#8217;s like these companies, when they&#8217;ve been around for a long time, Gap&#8217;s not like — they&#8217;re like, we&#8217;re in the rag trade. We&#8217;re never going to be Apple,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And everyone, all these American companies somehow took this deal where they start putting in these really awkward, weird number kind of CEOs. Like, Nike&#8217;s got one, The Gap had one. It didn&#8217;t work out. And there&#8217;s all of these weird operators inside of companies, even in Balenciaga, you know.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>KANYE WEST, MUSICIAN: One idea that was in my head about three minutes ago that I really want to say is that&#8217;s really interesting about the &#8212; when companies get the BLM managers.
TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS HOST: What&#8217;s a BLM manager?
WEST: Black Lives Matter office manager. It&#8217;s basically you get a semi-influential black person to become the face of a white company.
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: Right?
So that means, like, in the design world, in the art world, they actually would pick artists that were less talented than other artists based on their influence, not based on their actual work, because everyone is vying for influence and an opinion. Everyone is afraid of losing their opinion.
So, with Nike, right? Nike is as famous as &#8212; you would say Nike is more famous than PayPal, right?
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: Right?
What number company you think PayPal is?
CARLSON: I don&#8217;t know.
WEST: Number four.
CARLSON: Overall?
WEST: Overall, yes. Well, you know who the number one is, right? It&#8217;s Apple.
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: I&#8217;m forgetting number two, but number three is McDonald&#8217;s. Then SpaceX is maybe sixth or seventh.
It&#8217;s really interesting that, as lit as Elon is, his previous company is actually still worth more than SpaceX.
So, what number company do you think Nike is, the Nike? Number 321. It&#8217;s not there to be as big a financial company as it can be. It&#8217;s there as an influencer because, black people love Nike. So, Nike is like a company that is redlining and gerrymandering black people.
So, the reason why Gap wanted me to go to Gap, it wasn&#8217;t based on, oh we need to get our stocks up. You know, it&#8217;s like these companies, when they&#8217;ve been around for a long time, Gap&#8217;s not like &#8212; they&#8217;re like, we&#8217;re in the rag trade. We&#8217;re never going to be Apple.
And everyone, all these American companies somehow took this deal where they start putting in these really awkward, weird number kind of CEOs. Like, Nike&#8217;s got one, The Gap had one. It didn&#8217;t work out. And there&#8217;s all of these weird operators inside of companies, even in Balenciaga, you know.
The &#8212; and they&#8217;re just there for control. Steve Jobs talked about it. It&#8217;s the most important thing you can have is control. Look at me, all the money, all the influence, and I have to act a complete ass to have any say-so of anything that my children are doing, because that &#8212; a group of people have control and say-so over all the children inside of the clan.
So, that&#8217;s what these companies are set up for. That&#8217;s the type of CEOs they&#8217;re hiring, especially when the founders are out of there. They kind of just give the companies up to a bunch of people, and they&#8217;re all in cahoots.
Like, anyone that ever worked with me, they just look at, oh, who&#8217;s Ye farming for talent that we can hire to be our new BLM office manager?
Like &#8212; kind of like Obama.
CARLSON: What do you &#8212; you think &#8212; you think of Obama as a BLM office manager?
WEST: That&#8217;s whenever.
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: That&#8217;s whenever.
And, you know, I think Obama, just like Virgil, these people were truly black to their core and truly brilliant to their core, but they went into situations thinking that they could do it the white way as a black man.
And we saw what color Obama&#8217;s hair was when he went in and we saw what color it was when he &#8212; when he went out. You know, Virgil lost all his hair and eventually passed away. So, when I have techniques that are revolutionary, if I raise my voice, if I express myself on Instagram, it&#8217;s a colonic.
And people can say, oh, that &#8212; this &#8212; what you&#8217;re doing is toxic. If what I&#8217;m saying is toxic, I got to do everything to get it out of my body. And there&#8217;ll be times where I see a level of like oppression, Parisian, proper, like next level, you know, France owns 80 percent of African banks level colonization oppression, and I will be like, I&#8217;m not going to let you guys kill me.
But one thing that has to really happen, say, if Trump ran, right? We&#8217;re not just going to be black influence. We&#8217;re going to be vision and creativity.
We&#8217;ve got to rethink who we are as a species. Right now, we practice killing ourselves every day. Like, murder is legal in America, you know?
CARLSON: In abortion?
WEST: Yes. So, whoever gets the position needs to listen to the vision. I didn&#8217;t know it was going to rhyme when I first started.
(LAUGHTER)
WEST: They need to have Elon. They need to have me. They &#8212; you should start with those two, and then we&#8217;ll get to the rest of them. They could pull in a Jony Ive, and we will pull in all our living super brilliant people.
And we need to analyze and not just sell out for the cash. Like, these Fortune 500 companies, they&#8217;re just selling out for the cash. And put God first, and the best representation of God is the children. The children is an extension of family. Put the families first.
There&#8217;s so many things, suburbs, the train tracks being ripped up by GM just for capitalism. All these ideas that we have, right, we&#8217;re now living in a place where we&#8217;re the orphans is capitalism, and we just have to take a pause and rethink how we can have the most beautiful existence possible for our children, for the kids. And we&#8217;re all kids.
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: We&#8217;re all God&#8217;s kids. We&#8217;re all sons of Abraham.</blockquote>

Kanye Rips Companies That Hire ‘BLM Managers’: Nike ‘Is Redlining And Gerrymandering Black People’

Rapper Kanye West revealed in an interview this week that his relationship with former President Barack Obama &#8220;faded&#8221; the moment that he stopped saying the things that he was supposed to say &#8220;as a rapper.&#8221;
West made the remarks during a wide-ranging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-praises-candace-owens-flames-legacy-media-in-wide-ranging-interview-with-tucker-carlson">interview</a> Friday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after arriving back in the U.S. from France where he attended the Paris Fashion Week.
&#8220;I was Obama&#8217;s favorite artist,&#8221; West said. &#8220;He actually met with me. Obama met with me and my mama to say that he was running for office back in 2008 and that he wanted the support. And everybody was so into this idea of the black president.&#8221;
&#8220;And we were always — you were always cool. And it&#8217;s also like, how many — how many of us are there Obama level, Ye level, Virgil level, just black, you know, so brilliant that we cut through all of the lines of racism, like you just can&#8217;t get rid of us, Nat King Cole level, Dave Chappelle level?&#8221; he continued. &#8220;So, in some place, we&#8217;d have to be friends and get along, because it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re at that level. You&#8217;re like a Formula 1 Lewis Hamilton race car driver. We&#8217;re still driving a white car, but we&#8217;re the best race car drivers that ever existed.&#8221;
&#8220;And that was — that was me and Obama&#8217;s connection,&#8221; he added. &#8220;But, soon as I wasn&#8217;t saying the things that I was supposed to say as a rapper, our connection faded.&#8221;

Kanye West Reveals What ‘Faded’ His Relationship With Barack Obama

Kanye West Reveals What 'Faded' His Relationship With Barack Obama

Barack Obama

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.”
Really?
Just think about what that says about the state of things in America.

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>TUCKER CARLSON: The first indication that West might become a massive problem for the industrial deception complex came in 2015 and 2016, when Donald Trump appeared, and West had a very strong gut reaction to Trump that was very positive. And the people around him were panicked by this.
The last thing you could have is one of the most popular pop culture figures in America coming out for Donald Trump. So, they applied intense pressure to get him back on the script. And, apparently, his wife was part of that, his former wife, Kim Kardashian, who West now learns had a very close relationship with the Clintons and people around the Clintons. He had no idea.
His relationship with Trump, on the other hand, flourished. And he got a window into the people around Trump.
And, in this clip, you will hear him assess what happened inside the White House. Very interesting. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
WEST: It was interesting.
A friend of mine told me that Kris and Kim had called him because he had influence inside of the black community and had called him to say — well, to get him to influence people to take the vaccination.
And I don&#8217;t have an opinion on that. I just want to state that as a flat statement. But it was — it was wild that I didn&#8217;t know how close my own wife was to the Clintons. I didn&#8217;t know. You know, I didn&#8217;t realize it at the time.
CARLSON: You were married to her.
WEST: And while I was married to her.
CARLSON: How close was she to the Clintons?
WEST: I mean, cell phone away, like, or hey, tell Ye to say this way, or, hey, go out and use your platform to push the vaccination away — I mean, not away but, like, take the away part — but, you know&#8230;
CARLSON: Do you feel like&#8230;
WEST: Yes.
CARLSON: &#8230; at times you were manipulated by political forces through your wife?
WEST: Attempt at manipulation. But, yes, there was some manipulation. Me not saying I like Trump&#8230;
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: &#8230; was a form of a manipulation.
CARLSON: For sure.
WEST: Yes.</blockquote>

Kanye West Suggests The Clintons Tried To Manipulate Him Through Kim Kardashian

Rapper Kanye West slammed the mainstream media during an interview this week where he said that God was preparing Christians for &#8220;real battles&#8221; against godless forces, which included the media.
West made the remarks during a wide ranging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kanye-praises-candace-owens-flames-legacy-media-in-wide-ranging-interview-with-tucker-carlson">interview</a> Thursday night with Fox News host Tucker Carlson after arriving back in the U.S. from France where he attended the Paris Fashion Week.
West made the remarks during a portion of the interview where he was asked about the &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; clothing that he wore this week which triggered the political Left.
When asked why he did it, West responded that it largely just felt &#8220;right.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and just brilliance,&#8221; West said. &#8220;You know, like, because if you ask, like, Tonya Harding how she did the triple flip or the triple spin she was in so much practice that, when it was time for her to skate in a — in a — in a competitive format, it just happened. Like, it happened outside of practice. It happened in the real format.&#8221;
&#8220;And that&#8217;s what happened. That&#8217;s what happened as God is like preparing us for the real — for the real battles,&#8221; West continued. &#8220;And we are — we are in a battle with the media. Like, the majority of the media has a Godless agenda.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>TUCKER CARLSON, FOX NEWS: So, you made reference to the &#8220;White Lives Matter&#8221; T-shirt that you brought out at Paris Fashion Week.
KANYE WEST, MUSICIAN: Yes.
CARLSON: Why did you do that, and what did it mean?
WEST: You know, I did &#8212; I do certain things from a feeling.
I &#8212; like, I just channel the energy. It just feels right. It&#8217;s using a gut instinct, a connection with God, and just brilliance. You know, like, because if you ask, like, Tonya Harding how she did the triple flip or the triple spin&#8230;
CARLSON: Yes.
WEST: &#8230; she was in so much practice that, when it was time for her to skate in a &#8212; in a &#8212; in a competitive format, it just happened. Like, it happened outside of practice. It happened in the real format.
And that&#8217;s what happened. That&#8217;s what happened as God is like preparing us for the real &#8212; for the real battles. And we are &#8212; we are in a battle with the media. Like, the majority of the media has a Godless agenda.
And their jokes are not working. This whole, like, oh, Ye&#8217;s crazy and all these things, they don&#8217;t work, because the media has &#8212; you know, they&#8217;ve also watched travesties happen, just even specifically to me, and just watch it and act like it wasn&#8217;t happening. And they stayed quiet about it.</blockquote>
