Big Tech Monopolies and Election Interference
Candace Owens has been on record for over a year stating that Google needs to be broken up, having become a monopoly by every standard. She views their power as a form of election meddling, pointing to a Project Veritas undercover video that was taken down from YouTube. According to Owens, when she announced she was a black conservative, searching her name on Google immediately surfaced negative content from networks like CNN, while her more significant achievements were buried in search results.
Owens believes these tech companies are acting as publishers rather than neutral platforms, and conservatives need to start taking legal action. She advocates for the creation of a legal fund for conservatives to hold these companies accountable through the courts and demand more transparency. In her view, these companies are actively banning and suppressing conservative opinions while ensuring left-leaning content dominates search results.
The Me Too Movement and Emotional Manipulation
When discussing the rape accusations against President Trump by E. Jean Carroll and the infamous Anderson Cooper interview, Owens sees it as part of a larger pattern of what she calls radical feminism. She was one of the first to condemn the Me Too movement, despite being criticized by both conservatives and liberals. Owens argues that the left strategically dives into topics that make rational debate uncomfortable, using subjects like sexual assault to silence opposition.
She views these tactics as fundamentally about gaining power rather than addressing genuine issues. Owens points to the Brett Kavanaugh hearings as evidence that the movement was weaponized for political purposes. She believes the left is telling women that everything is rape, that they should be believed without question, and that objective data and facts no longer matter—only emotions and feelings.
The Victim Mentality Destroying Black America
Owens is passionate about what she sees as the intentional sale of a victim mentality to black Americans by the Democratic Party. She references Malcolm X's statement that liberals pretend to be your friend, arguing that Democrats have no interest in actually improving conditions in black communities because they rely on those struggles for votes every four years.
According to Owens, if problems in black communities were actually solved, Democrats would have to campaign on policies that make sense rather than emotional manipulation around racism. She points out that over the last 60 years, liberal policies have destroyed black communities while keeping the conversation focused on racism as an insurmountable barrier.
From Low-Income Housing to Conservative Spokesperson
Owens shares that her childhood story is rarely told because it humanizes her and demonstrates that her views come from lived experience. She grew up sharing a bedroom in a tiny apartment in low-income housing on Throggs Neck Boulevard in Connecticut, where exterminators had to come regularly to deal with roaches. She had no wealthy parents to support her and took out $150,000 in student loans that she paid back entirely on her own.
She slept on friends' couches while believing in herself and working harder than everyone around her. Instead of partying, she spent every second learning and trying to add value to companies. Owens credits conservative principles—seeing herself as a victor rather than a victim—for her success. She contrasts this with Asian Americans, particularly Japanese Americans who were in internment camps but are now the most successful demographic in America, noting there is no "Japanese Lives Matter" movement because they kept their heads down, worked hard, kept families together, and maintained good values.
The Larry Elder Awakening
Owens explains that she was already living her life conservatively but had been brainwashed through the public school system to believe she had to be a Democrat and a liberal. When Trump began his candidacy, she started paying attention to politics and watched him be smeared and labeled as racist. Having spent seven years living and working in New York, she knew everyone had loved Trump—he was celebrated in hip-hop music and by the media.
She couldn't believe someone could become all the terrible things they were calling him overnight when he had been celebrated for so long. This led her to explore liberal versus conservative arguments, and she stumbled upon Larry Elder's interview with Dave Rubin. She loved the video for two reasons: Larry Elder brilliantly dismantled Dave Rubin's arguments, and Dave Rubin was humble enough to listen, publish it, and admit he was seeing things wrong.
Owens admits it took tremendous humility to acknowledge that everything she had thought before was wrong—that Republicans weren't racist, weren't keeping her back, and that she had been intentionally miseducated. She credits Larry Elder, Dr. Thomas Sowell, and Dr. Ben Carson for helping her understand the truth.
Systemic Racism: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
When asked about systemic or institutionalized racism, Owens states it doesn't exist in the way people think. However, she argues it does exist if you go to the government for solutions. Welfare programs systemically keep people below the poverty line by incentivizing bad behavior—the more children you have out of wedlock, the more money you receive, and if you don't marry the father, you get even more money.
Owens emphasizes that this isn't even about racism since white people can be on welfare too. As a black woman, she insists there is nothing she cannot do that a white man can do—it's all about choices. She agrees with Larry Elder that the biggest issue facing black America is the breakdown of the family, supported by every metric. In the 1960s, 23 percent of black Americans grew up in single-parent homes, which was considered a crisis. Today, it's 74 percent.
She references Barack Obama's speech about the implications of growing up without a father—being nine times more likely to end up behind bars and six times more likely to lead a life of crime. Where black Americans grow up in single-parent homes, suffering follows.
The Socialist Bribery Competition
Owens finds the Democratic presidential candidates' policy proposals hilarious rather than frightening. She jokes about creating a show called "Whose Bribe Is It Anyway" to discuss all the bribes the left is offering. Bernie Sanders will pay off student loans, Elizabeth Warren will give money because you're black, and Joe Biden will cure cancer—they're outdoing each other in bribes.
She believes this shows the left thinks the majority of Americans are irredeemably stupid and emotional rather than rational. While student loan forgiveness sounds great, Owens argues people aren't thinking about the implications of trillions of dollars and where it comes from. She points out the irony of Bernie Sanders being a millionaire champion of socialism who clearly benefited from capitalism but tries to sell socialism to people he believes are dumber than him.
Silicon Valley's Guilt-Driven Socialism
When discussing why affluent Silicon Valley supports more government control policies, Owens identifies two types of socialists. From her personal conversation with Jack Dorsey, she doesn't see him as a villain but rather as a reserved techie who perhaps experiences guilt over his wealth. It's easy for people to say the wealthy should give money away without thinking about larger implications.
She finds Google's position particularly contradictory—they're trying to help people who want more government while keeping their freedom to manipulate search results, which more government would shut down. She believes they're shooting themselves in the foot.
Short-Term Thinking and Long-Term Consequences
Owens sees the Democratic Party as trapped in short-term thinking, trying to achieve a figurative assassination of President Trump by any means necessary. They're slandering him, making his life hell daily, but not realizing the long-term implications. Once you open that window, you can't close it.
In six years, if there's a Democratic politician in office, it will be acceptable for women to make false sexual assault claims and for people to have no respect for the highest office. When Keith Ellison faced sexual assault claims, Democrats didn't want to touch it because they created rules they now have to play by.
Owens uses herself as another example—Democrats created the rules that you can't say anything negative to a black woman because they're at the top of the progressive stack in victimhood. Now they don't know how to handle her because they created those rules. She's happy to take all the bullets because it always has the opposite effect—it wakes people up. After Ted Lieu's hearing, she was flooded with emails from black Americans apologizing for having her wrong after watching her actual testimony.
The Nucleus of Victimhood
Owens explains that Democrats built their entire strategy around victimhood as the nucleus, from which they can build anything. The Me Too movement is victimhood, reparations are victimhood, and now the trans movement is becoming prominent even though less than one percent of people have gender dysphoria. They constantly look for their next victims—illegal immigrants are just trying to get into a better country.
If you destroy the victim mentality, you collapse the entire Democratic Party. If people realize what Democrats are doing, it forces them to come to the table with actual policies that make things better for everyone regardless of identity. Unfortunately, the left doesn't have good policies—they just want power.
The Birth of the Radical Left
Owens argues that today's Democratic Party is completely different from the JFK era. While they've become extremists, she points out that moderates like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer gave birth to this extremism within their own party. They're not true extremists but pretended to be in order to combat Trump, saying extreme things to get power back by any means necessary.
This gave birth to AOC, Rashida Tlaib, and Ilhan Omar—people who actually want socialism and radical concepts in America. Now the moderate Democrats have to live with what they created because they made it okay by saying things they didn't believe just to take down Trump. This has created what Owens calls "liberal refugees"—more moderate Democrats who don't recognize their party anymore and are asking what happened to proposing open borders and turning America into Venezuela.
Owens has met these liberal refugees who say they're not with Trump but are really against where the Democratic Party has gone. She predicts Trump will win 2020 by very large margins.
The Trump-Forced Awakening
Owens credits President Trump with forcing a mass awakening about propaganda and media manipulation. She remembers learning about propaganda and yellow journalism in school, thinking it was something from the past. Trump made people realize they're actively living under propaganda networks that don't care what people say—only what they need people to believe, even to their own detriment.
CNN and MSNBC ratings have dropped, yet they continue lying to the American people every day. When Owens entered the political sphere, she had to learn and pivot quickly out of necessity and self-preservation. She studied Dr. Thomas Sowell extensively, describing him as an absolute legend who "smacked the truth" into her, along with Larry Elder and Dr. Ben Carson.
She knew she had to know exactly what she was talking about because as a black conservative woman, she's held to an incredibly high standard—one mistake and she'd be done. Now she's fascinated by her past self as a "sleepy liberal" who didn't realize everything in life relates to politics. She thinks about family members on welfare whose lives never got better, compared to family members who never went on welfare and where their lives are now.
The Reparations Joke
Owens calls reparations an insult to black Americans and raises questions about implementation. What about mixed-race people—are they half privileged or half oppressed? She finds it hilarious that the party that said requiring ID to vote was racist because it's too hard for black Americans to get ID is now saying black Americans are suddenly smart enough to gather ancestral papers and histories to prove they were once enslaved.
She views reparations as nothing more than an election technique to get black votes and an indication of how scared Democrats are. They realize something is shaking in the black community—black people are speaking in ways they haven't before, and more black conservative movements are popping up everywhere. Democrats know they can't afford to lose even five percent of the black vote or their party is finished.
On the principle of reparations, Owens asks how far we want to take it. Sixty percent of the world would be entitled to slave reparations if we play that game. What about people under the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, or peasants under kings? How far do people want to take this argument before acknowledging there are ugly spots in human history? The only way to repair the past is by focusing on the future—acknowledging terrible things happened but moving on to make something better.
The Kanye West Tidal Wave
When Kanye West said he liked how Candace Owens thinks, it created a tidal wave effect. Owens explains that black Americans are seized culturally—when you break down the family and remove mom and dad from the home, people pursue that maternity and paternity elsewhere. Jay-Z and Beyoncé become mom and dad, which is why Hillary Clinton threw concerts with them leading up to Election Day while Trump was on the ground speaking to Americans.
When you're seized culturally, the only thing that can break through and make you think about politics instead of just culture is a cultural icon. Kanye West punched a hole between politics and culture, forcing people who loved him to find out who Candace Owens was. Whether they hated or loved her, they felt something and it forced a conversation.
People usually find Owens feeling angry and bitter, but over time something happens and they change their minds. Then comes the period where they say, "Well I'm not a Democrat, but what have Republicans ever done?" That means they're thinking, and that's what it's all about. Owens believes we'll look back on this moment in history when there's an exodus of black Americans from the Democratic Party and say Kanye West was a big piece of that.
The Blexit Movement
Owens describes Blexit as exactly what they're discussing—the response in black America and all the movements popping up. Every Blexit rally has gotten bigger and sold out, despite being run by just Owens and one other person. It feels like a cultural movement and conversation, and knowing things are being heavily debated in the black community is what Blexit is all about.
The model of the left has been broken—black Americans are no longer a monolith. Even on the biggest hip-hop shows, people are coming at Elizabeth Warren and Democrats, no longer as trusting of the Democratic Party. Owens's hopes and dreams were to inspire an ideological civil war in the black community. She calls herself "Candace of Connecticut," joking about visions of grandeur like Helen of Troy.
She emphasizes that black Americans have been treated terribly in this country by Democrats and still are. Everyone has lived through terrible things in society—if you're looking for victims, they're everywhere. There's something in everyone's life that makes them a victim, and we could all share victim stories because that's human history. There will always be victims because society is run by imperfect human beings.
Democrats sell the illusion that society is perfectible, but Owens says to stop focusing on that and start focusing on what you can control—how to make things better.
