'Blackout' author Candace Owens discusses hip-hop star's new campaign ad on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Kanye West is still
running for president. He is
qualified for the ballot in more
than a dozen states that shes
not going to win most likely
hes made a brand new campaign
and that we want to show you
as you watch it ask yourself
why other politicians dont
sound more like this.
We, the people, will revive our
nations. Commitment to faith.
Faith can be restored.
We, the people, are called to a
greater purpose in ourselves. We
are not only a beacon to the
world, but we should be servants
to each other to encourage each
other to help each other to
lift up each other.
We will build a stronger country
by building stronger families.
Families are the building blocks
of society of a nation.
Families are the
foundation the building blocks
of a society, yet hes crazy.
His campaign is also selling
shirts, saying God, save America
hes tweeted, repeatedly on
topics that most politicians
wont get near. Why is he the
only one talking about this, and
why is everyone ignoring him?
Candace Owens is a senior editor
at Town Hall. We are happy to
have her on tonight
without getting into the
political effects and who he
draws from just the message of
the Kanye West campaign. It
seems like most people would
agree with that. Why is nobody
paying attention to this, and why
is nobody copying it?
I will say full disclosure
and personal friends with
Kanye West and when he first
came out as a Trump supporter a
couple years ago, I was so
disappointed in the reaction
that we got from both the left
and the right.
If the left dismissed him as a
race traitor, which is typical
and the right called him crazy,
Kanye West is neither.
This is a man who is using his
billion dollar platform to talk
about issues that are actually
impacting all Americans, but
especially black Americans.
What is it about these
progressive platforms that
always leads to progressive
results for the black community
abortion, the slaughtering of
millions of black babies? This
impacts Black America,
the progressive stand on black
lives matter when it arrives in
a city, it destroys black
communities,
defund the police. That is a
progressive movement. What, as it
led to
and increase of something like
two hundred percent in shootings in inner
cities, then happened at this
time. Last year
it kanye West hes
stylistically different, not
what we are used to in politics,
Trump is and what we are used to
in politics. But I will say
this: what has what we are
used to actually bought us
if Kanye West is crazy? What is
the correct adjective for
Cory Booker for Kamala Harris
for Joe Biden,
totally right,
hes, the only one who said the
obvious witches they can say
they love you, but if they are
putting abortion clinics in your
neighborhood, maybe they arent
sincere.
If they dont want you to have
more children, maybe they dont
love. You thats, not crazy.
Its the opposite of crazy
im, seven months pregnant
with my first child, its
unconscionable to me that the
democratic platform stands on
believing that at seven months I
have the right to choose its,
not a life. I have trickle
months to decide whether or not
I want this child, and these are
important topics.
We are talking about things that
are scary. We never thought we
would be discussing in America,
they pushed this to nine month
being able to abort a child out
of its womb and they arent shy
about this
Andrew Cuomo lit up the city
pink when they pass this policy
in New York City,
I think Kanye West. The only
word is brave, its incredibly
brave because he has risked his
entire professional platform,
his professional life, to come
out and say these things.
I totally agree
hes saying things we should all
be saying without apology or
embarrassment, but we are too.
