This Is Trash. Who Is Pushing This On Black Culture?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Happy Friday, everybody.
You made it again to the end of another glorious week.
Glorious indeed, only because Groundhog Day, yep, and guess what?
The news is good.
Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog who is still alive somehow every year, did not see his shadow.
This means that an early spring is on the way.
Rejoice, everybody.
But on to more serious news.
People on X are saying that Nikki Haley is showing signs of clinical retardation on the basis of a post that she just shared.
It's very serious and we need to talk about it.
Plus, later on in the show, we are going to be discussing Sexy Red.
Let me tell you, it pains me to have this discussion.
I fought my producers for two weeks.
It is an artist, and yes, the time has come.
We do need to cover her.
As well as Ayanna Pressley, the Democratic rep, who is very upset because Walgreens has closed its doors in a pharmacy in Boston, and she says that's racist.
It's racist to close your doors as a business owner if people keep robbing you.
Yeah.
Not the brightest bulb in the batch.
All that and more today coming up on Candace Owens.
Sexy Red.
Have you heard of this artist?
Probably not if you're listening to this podcast.
I certainly had not heard of this artist until a couple of weeks ago, and I wear that like a badge of honor.
Let me tell you about her and tell you why she is relevant.
Sexy Red has 3.2 million followers on Instagram.
She's got 1.2 million followers on Twitter.
And on TikTok, she enjoys 1.8 million followers.
So what are they following?
Well, a lot, apparently.
By the way, she went to a high school in St.
Louis, Missouri a few weeks back, and they rejoiced.
They were already listening to hip-hop music.
Suddenly, Sexy Red walked into the gym, and they went absolutely crazy.
The students were like, oh my goodness, Elvis is back from the dead.
Eventually, the school officials wanted her to leave because it caused such a ruckus.
So yeah, she's kind of a big deal.
But she became a bigger deal last week when I declined to cover her because I was so physically sickened by what I was looking at when she hosted a baby shower for her second child.
And she was with her baby daddy.
Very proud to be with her baby daddy at this baby shower.
And this isn't your Traditional kind of baby shower.
This one got a little spicy, a little fun.
Take a look at this video.
Not what I would have worn to my baby shower, not how I would have danced at my baby shower,
But it wasn't this that captured all the headlines.
It was actually another video, which I am not going to show you because it, again, physically nauseates me.
But I will show you a still of the video.
And here it is.
In case you can't make out what that is, that's sexy red bent over in a man that is in between her butt cheeks.
There's just no other way to say that.
That man is her baby daddy.
He is wearing a mask.
It's just filth.
There's no other way to say it.
It's pornography, I guess, is another word that you can use.
And as I have always said, what we are seeing right now is a decline in culture, full stop.
But particularly in black America, there's things that you would never imagine.
So the question is, how does somebody this grotesque, somebody this filthy, get a platform?
Right?
Certainly it can't be happening organically.
I don't think that the majority of people, I'd like to think at least, that the majority of people would be like, wow, look at this woman who at her baby shower is bent over half naked with a man's face between her butt cheeks.
Let me follow her.
No, there's something, again, artificial that's happening in the background.
Well, she really got a lot of fame when she released a song called Pound Town.
Don't worry, I'm going to spare you the lyrics, but use your own imagination.
And here is just seven seconds of that music video that she released to go along with it.
♪ Where the **** I'm looking for the hole ♪ ♪ Quit playing **** cause I got **** cold ♪
♪ Pound town just left pound town ♪ What culture is that?
Whose culture is that?
Please spare me this.
It's Black culture.
I'm so glad we're covering this, by the way.
This is what we should be doing in Black History Month.
We should actually be covering Black present because it matters more.
And let me tell you, what you just saw is not Black culture.
That is the corrosion of what once was Black culture.
But I was interested, you know, because obviously yesterday we showed you that Ice Cube was talking to Bill Maher, and he was saying that this was very intentional, that there were people that were intentionally feeding this sort of music to the black community because it also feeds the prison system.
And you can imagine some of those extras in that music video.
And maybe even Sexy Red herself might spend some time in prison in the future.
It wouldn't be hard to imagine that.
And so I looked into who platformed this young woman, actually, who is the record company or the media conglomerate that's behind her.
And it turns out that first, it was an independent record that picked her up in 2021.
But then in 2023, and the reason why she's starting to gain so much popularity, a media company called Gamma began distributing her music.
And Gamma has a lot of power.
I'll tell you why Gamma has a lot of power.
Because the two individuals that started Gamma, one of them came out of Apple.
His name is Larry Jackson.
And the second one of them came from Interscope Records.
He has a ton of clout in the record community, the music community, industry, so to speak.
And his name is Ike Yousef.
Okay, let's keep going down this.
Let's keep following this.
Ike Youssef, people might want to stand out and say, okay, who is this guy?
Now, when I hear the name Youssef, it instantly signals to me that this person is either Muslim or Jewish, Arab perhaps, the Youssefs that I know in my life.
And that's curious because I remain convinced that a Muslim exec and a Jewish exec would never Put a Muslim and a Jewish artist that was putting this sort of music on the airwaves onto their platforms.
And by the way, that's not their fault.
A lot of times you want to blame, oh, all of a sudden, no.
Why would you want to get to the top and then harm your own community?
It's ridiculous that you don't blame them for that.
But the second person, Larry Jackson, who I mentioned before, is black.
And he is the person that I am more interested in.
Here is a headline regarding Larry Jackson.
He's celebrated, obviously.
He's a black entrepreneur.
And the Billboard headline reads, with Gamma, Larry Jackson is putting $1 billion to work for black culture.
Here's another headline.
This one is in Afrotech News.
It reads, In favor of black culture.
He's the face, by the way.
to put $1 billion to work in favor of black culture with his startup, Gama.
In favor of black culture, he's the face, by the way.
More about him, he's the one who recently married Stephanie Shepard, Kim Kardashian's
So he's very much in the mix.
He's very good friends with Oprah Winfrey.
And the black community loves him, by the way.
So many photos of him with artists, black artists.
You know, Snoop Dogg loves him.
He is celebrated by the black community.
Not like me, you know.
Oh my gosh.
God forbid, Gannis Owens calling this stuff out.
This guy, who is making an executive decision to distribute this music to the black community, is a hero.
And so I got even more interested in him.
I just wanted to hear him talk.
Man, I mean, maybe this is the kind of music that he grew up with and he loves it.
Not the vibe I got.
Here is him speaking to Ariana Huffington in an interview.
Take a listen.
Have you ever had any mentors who helped you along this life journey, the things that we're discussing here?
Yeah, my mom and dad, first and foremost.
We're the first, for sure.
And still.
My mom and dad immediately come to mind.
Because they have to put things in perspective.
In the African-American household, to have two parents who have been married for 45 years is a very unusual thing.
And something that I really, you know, find to be unique and special and the spine and the backbone of my life.
So their wisdom and also like the freedom and the latitude that they gave me at such an early age.
I don't even know why they even did really at all, but they did.
Just to be me was the initial mentorship that I needed to really kind of get to the first few points that were pretty vital and important.
So what did we learn in that clip?
Well, we learned that Larry Jackson came from a two-parent home, a stable household.
Parents married for 45 years.
I did some more digging.
He went to Catholic school.
He ran cross-country.
He worked hard from the time that he was young.
He was winning awards because he had an interest as he was working in radio.
Got his foot through the door.
Did everything right in life so that when he got to the top, he could feed the community filth.
Absolute filth.
And so I reserve a special kind of hatred for these sorts of individuals because they are somehow celebrated by the black community.
Me?
No, no, no, no.
Candace Owens is a coon.
She's a traitor to her own race because she talks about ethics and standards and morals and the disintegration of race.
But this guy, Larry Jackson, who is on his path to becoming a billionaire and who is intentionally picking up music like Sexy Red, music that, let me be very clear to you guys, he does not listen to.
Okay?
He obviously, when he gets up in the morning, in his mansion, is not putting filth in his ear.
Because why would he?
Larry Jackson is aspirational.
He wants his children with Stephanie Shepard, if they happen in the future, to be aspirational as well.
He will not allow a minute of Sexy Red's music to be played in front of his children.
But he's playing a game, right?
Obviously, he knows how to get rich, and either he is a useful idiot who doesn't recognize what he's doing—I don't think that's a truth—or he's evil.
I don't know, you guys pick.
I just think it's stunning, and we need to start recognizing what is happening when we observe American culture by and large, because it's happening all over the place.
That's why we've covered Ariana Grande, different artists as well that are producing filth and getting women to debase themselves.
But this one, during Black History Month, I have to say, it draws a lot of ire from me.
I apparently make everybody mad, though.
What do I know?
That's all I'm going to say about that.
Okay, now it's time for some Topics Du Jour.
Honestly, I don't even know where to begin on this Nikki Haley thing other than to say
that I feel vindicated.
I feel vindicated because a lot of people watch the show and I say things and people are wondering if I'm trying to be funny or mean, but I'm just kind of reading the tea leaves.
And regarding Nikki Haley, on the day that she announced that she was running, I shared a story with you guys.
And I told you that it signaled to me that Nikki Haley was not that intelligent.
There has been so much evidence that Nikki Haley is not intelligent, that she is a vessel, that she reads teleprompters and she repeats whatever people tell her to say.
First and foremost, I told you about the event I did with her.
You're not allowed to ask her a single question off script.
These questions must be submitted in advance, despite being paid $300,000.
No one is allowed to surprise Nikki Haley with a question.
That signals to me as somebody who is a fraudulent intellectual.
That's what I've been saying since the beginning.
And then there was more proof.
We saw this.
Vivek Ramaswamy asked her on the debate stage to just name one area of Ukraine, one city.
She couldn't do it.
She just totally blank faced.
And then she repeated that ridiculous statistic while she was debating as well regarding time spent on TikTok.
And essentially, the math had worked out that if you spent an hour and a half on TikTok, You could go from being the most supportive person of the Jewish community to being Adolf Hitler.
She was just like, every 30 minutes, you just become more and more anti-Semitic.
It was nuts.
The stat was nuts.
And the fact that she repeated it without going, wait, that makes no sense, signaled to me again that Nikki Haley is not that bright.
But wait for this.
She's now been just Jussie Smollett-ing it.
She has made up and she got away with it the first time.
I want to remind you guys that in October of 2023, Nikki Haley tweeted that somebody in the Trump campaign or the Trump fan had sent her a birdcage after calling her a birdbrain.
She tweeted, after a day of campaigning, this is the message waiting for me outside my hotel room.
This so obviously didn't happen.
Nikki Haley travels with security.
Hotels have cameras.
If somebody from Trump camp or a Trump fan suddenly found out what room she was staying in, again bizarre because the security would have never booked a hotel room under her name, and then they walked in with a giant birdcage and put it outside and nobody noticed, no, of course, this was a hoax.
Nikki Haley Tried out a hoax, and it made a little bit of noise, but people ignored it because it was earlier on in the campaign.
Well, she's now doing it again, and this is just stunning.
Nikki Haley tweeted this.
Americans want a choice in this election, not a rerun.
I am overwhelmed by all of the kind words.
We'll keep working hard to make you proud.
And she submitted this as evidence of fan mail that she allegedly gets.
This is the first one.
You'll notice that it has no subject line.
It's an email, and it says, Please do not give up your fight.
In a world that's become crazy with strife, we need a level-headed conservative leader to navigate us through the insanity.
No one is more capable than you are to right the ship and heal this great nation.
We need you, Nikki.
This country needs you.
Our allies and the beautiful people of this world need you.
I don't want to see you give up, and I guarantee you there are millions more out there who feel exactly as I do.
Michael B. It's just conspicuous.
It's weird.
When you send an email to write Michael B., not to include your full name, not to have a subject, and also, Nikki, the screenshot you sent, unfortunately, that left-hand corner, it says send.
Which means that you were sending an email.
I don't even know what email program this is, but if the option is for you to hit send, then that means that you did not receive this email.
Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, this isn't the only piece of fan mail that Nikki Haley shared.
She also shared this.
It's on lined school paper, notebook paper.
And it says, I want to encourage Nikki Haley to keep pressing on, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point.
We need a competent and committed leader to stay the course in the bid for the presidency.
I'm an independent, and I have voted for the best candidate every election cycle, and this year it's Nikki!
Exclamation point.
That was written, again, by someone who decided not to use their last name, Mary A.
And again, Marie wrote this on school paper, but I also want to be clear that that obviously is a font.
So this was not written on school paper.
This was not handed to Nikki Haley.
That is very obviously a digital copy, which perhaps answers another question that I have of why this person wouldn't write on the lines.
We're going to use school paper.
Why wouldn't you just write on the lines?
Well, because it wasn't written on school paper.
This was manufactured.
It clearly is not real.
Why on earth would Nikki Haley do this?
Everyone says, oh, it must be an intern.
No, I have been beating the drum.
Nikki Haley just simply is not that bright.
Because even if an intern said, wouldn't it be great if we just wrote fake fan mail to ourselves?
And let me show you what I've got.
I would look at it in four seconds and say, this looks like a hoax.
This doesn't look real.
Why is nobody using their last names?
Wouldn't you want your ideal presidential candidate to potentially write you back?
How have we come up with two things that look unbelievable and neither person is using their surname?
Okay?
So you might be listening and thinking, no, Candace, I believe this.
And you know what?
I want to instead believe that Nikki Haley is the brightest and the best that we have to offer.
And I'm gonna try this game, because if there's anybody who is buying this as authentic, And doesn't recognize the high level of stupidity that we have reached when it comes to making up your own fan mail, then what I'm going to do is I'm going to draft Nikki Haley an email, and I'm going to tell her I'm a Nigerian prince and that I am stuck on an island.
And it's true.
Dear Nikki Haley, I'm a Nigerian prince.
I need a million dollars.
I need Apple gift cards.
And I need you to transfer the money within 48 hours, because I'm a Nigerian prince.
And when I get back, I'll pay you back.
I'll give you a billion dollars.
And I'm expecting Nikki Haley to make that transaction.
But you know, guys, there's a lot of coincidences that happen, and strangely, when I came into work today, I was handed a pile of fan mail, and somebody wrote this about me, and I just want you guys to know that this is totally real.
It says, Dear Candice, You are the best in the world.
Love, Mary A.
Oh, it's Mary A. again!
Mary A. also wrote me a letter, Nikki.
That's really kind.
And then also, Michael B. did write me.
He said that I have the best YouTube channel ever, and I have the greatest podcast in the entire world, and that you guys should hit subscribe to me wherever you listen, and also send me money.
I don't know.
That's just what Michael B. wrote.
Totally real.
Totally authentic.
And trust me.
Believe the science.
Alright guys, moving on.
So obviously, when the BLM riots took place, and those of us who were willing to simply tell the truth about what was going to happen, once you encourage criminality in inner cities, this isn't something new, it's happened before.
With the 60s riots, we know the outcome.
Business owners essentially get up and they leave.
But what was particularly odd about the BLM riots is that Corporations were encouraging it.
They were like, this is your right, Black America.
You can steal, you can rob, you can do whatever you want because of previous injustices that you did not face in this country in the form of slavery.
So once that became the settled narrative, obviously what was going to happen is what happened during the 1960s.
If you're just going to riots, there was no incentive for business owners to stay in your community.
So they're going to leave.
Obviously, they're going to leave because they're being robbed.
They're losing billions of dollars, major corporations, because of the theft and the looting that's taken place in the past, but now it's just outward theft that's happening, particularly across stores like CVS, Walgreens.
Well, Democratic Rep.
Ayanna Pressley has never been accused of being bright, but this is exceptional.
It is exceptional what she is doing here.
She is condemning Walgreens for quote-unquote racial and economic discrimination because they made the business-wise decision to close their doors in Boston after losing a ton of money because they were being robbed.
Take a listen to what she had to say, addressing the House about this discrimination.
Mr. Speaker, Walgreens is planning to close yet another pharmacy in the Massachusetts 7th, this time on Warren Street in Roxbury, a community that is 85% black and Latino.
This closure is a part of a larger trend of abandoning low-income communities like the previous closures in Mattapan and Hyde Park, both in the Massachusetts 7th.
When a Walgreens leaves a neighborhood, they disrupt the entire community and they take with them baby formula, diapers, asthma inhalers, life-saving medications, and of course, jobs.
These closures are not arbitrary and they are not innocent.
They are life-threatening acts of racial and economic discrimination.
That is why I joined with Senator Markey and Warren to demand answers from Walgreens' CEO.
Why was there no community input, no adequate notice to customers, and no transition resources to prevent gaps in healthcare?
Shame on you, Walgreens!
Having a website with talking points about health equity and underserved communities is not enough.
Walgreens is a multi-billion dollar corporation that needs to put their money where their mouth is and stop divesting from black and brown communities.
I think what's really amazing to me about that clip is that she says it with some hair on her chest, you know?
She's like, I know that what I'm saying makes sense, and what makes sense is that even if the black and Latino community is robbing you every single day, okay, and you cannot make any money, okay, then you need to still be investing in our community, which means just by selling stuff that we are not gonna buy because we're going to rob it, okay?
It's racist.
Like, she's actually very sure of herself.
In this utterly stupid analysis condemning a business for moving out and saying that, okay, well, what's going to happen if we can't have access to diapers?
Well, you should have thought about that before you were robbing the diapers from their store, before you were robbing the food from their store.
A business exists to make money.
I know that seems like really basic information.
I don't know.
In this particular climate, there are a lot of people who don't actually know that.
Businesses exist to make money.
Charities, perhaps, if you want to establish a charity.
If Walgreens was a charity and they just were giving people diapers and maybe you could say something like, hey, this is why you exist.
This is why people are giving you free money.
It's not that.
And she doesn't understand that, which brings to, I guess, A larger question.
How is it plausible that these sorts of individuals who can't think, right, who are so illogical, keep making it to DC?
That's my question.
How are we supposed to get better as a society, as a culture, when we are not sending the brightest people to DC?
The answer is we can't, right?
If the collective IQ is this low, if this person actually got elected to represent people's interests, And yet she doesn't understand a basic business concept.
How do we get better?
How do things go up in our society?
I don't know.
I don't mean to be depressing, but when I see something like that, I'm just like, wow, what is happening?
Obviously, the education system has failed Ayanna Pressley, and instead she's just performative, and people just want actors and actresses to head over to D.C.
And it's not looking good for us guys at all.
But at least you guys don't feel too down because, as I said at the beginning of the show, the Groundhog did not see his shadow.
So we are going to get a nice, long, amazing spring.
So things are looking up in that regard.
Alright guys, now let's jump into some of your comments regarding episodes past.
Fittingly, regarding Ice Cube and the clip that we shared with Bill Maher talking about the music industry being intentionally corrupt.
RA Pictures writes, the thing about music is that it has the ability to alter mood.
So a lot of times when a song is created, the artist doesn't have a clue that it's a hit record.
There are countless recording artists who are functioning illiterate and are able to create chart-topping hit songs.
So when a song breaks, whoever holds the promotional or marketing power is king.
That is correct, and that is why I wanted to call out today, who's distributing this music?
Because you're making her into a star.
You're doing it artificially.
You're hearing this music.
You know it's bad, but you know That you're a kingmaker.
You can just pretend it's good, get it more plays, and then make it a hit record.
Coach Keith writes, it's one thing to allow filthy music to be made, but it's another thing to, one, only reward the artists that create filthy music, and two, promote it over other music.
It is deliberate.
Of course, that brings us to think about the Grammys, right?
When they're making these decisions of who can even perform at the Grammys, as we've covered.
Why would you allow this individual to perform at the Grammys?
Blink and Sexy Red will be on the Grammy stage.
Blink and Sexy Red will be given a Grammy.
And you're going to say, how did this happen?
And the answer, of course, is that it is very much intentional.
Peezy, the director, writes, the music industry is not about music.
It's about power and influence.
It's a power industry.
The award shows are private entities funded by the labels to promote their product to
the masses who believe it is some governmental court of law to determine what is good music.
That is very correct, and that is why I will forever believe that Hollywood was created
as an arm of the CIA, an arm of our government.
The CIA has always been interested in psychological experiments.
We've covered many of them on this show.
If you don't know about them, you should go pursue them.
I mean, at one point they were trying, just dosing random citizens with LSD.
They got very interested in understanding how to create a mind.
And then they recognized that when you can create a celebrity, all else follows.
And this is the reason why celebrities are dangerous.
Even if what they're doing is not bad, right, or what they're creating is not bad, they
still can become tools of the government in the future.
And they only ever turn someone into a superstar if that individual is a leftist, if that individual
is in lockstep with the government, lockstep with whatever the CIA initiatives are, whether
it is they want to go to war, whether it is that they want you to celebrate abortion.
You cannot become a superstar.
You will not be on magazines.
You will not win a Grammy unless you agree with them and whatever it is that they are trying to create in our society or trying to uphold in our society.
Regarding E. Jean Carroll, the absolute basket case that we showed you guys yesterday,
Maddie J. Stone writes, The interview with Elizabeth Jean Carroll and Anderson
Cooper is insane.
My jaw dropped when she said that. He literally had to cut it to a commercial break because
everyone must have been thinking, what the hell is happening right now? How on earth did she win
Yes.
How on earth did she win it?
Because the courts are corrupt.
You know, in certain states it is really, really difficult to win based on sense, based on evidence, because they have made sure over a long time to also have judges.
My answer is no.
in their pocket. They know that you can go into New York and people are going to hate
Donald Trump. That is it. Donald Trump has now moved to Florida because of this very
reason and like I said, it doesn't matter how you feel about Donald Trump. Do you want
to live in a country where the Department of Justice is this corrupt? My answer is no.
Evelyn writes, the whole Trump and Jean Carroll situation upsets me because there are women
who have been through more traumatic situations with evidence as well that will never even
see a third of what this woman received even though they may deliberately need it. Meanwhile,
that can go on live TV and say rape is sexy receives 85 million a
America is weird.
Nope, America is not weird.
America is corrupt at this moment, and we are fighting that corruption every single day.
And I do remain optimistic because I think that there has been a mass awakening, and that's why things are becoming even more radical, because there is this desperation to hold on to power when it's slipping.
This is the reason why, like we showed you earlier in the week, Taylor Ren's The mainstream media companies are all empty.
Journalists are getting fired.
They're getting laid off.
What's happening?
Well, people are realizing that it's all propaganda and it's all BS, and they are turning to different voices.
Me among them.
Thank you guys so much.
I always feel so honored that I get to speak to you guys every single day about things that are on my mind and to listen to what you guys have to say as well.
Unfortunately, that is all the time that we have for today, which means that is all the time that we have for this week.
But don't worry guys, we'll be back on Monday with a brand new episode.
