TIM POOL (HOST): And the question is, why try and discredit the dude who's simply just filming fraud? Nick Shirley massively ratioed Gavin Newsom, and he's got tremendous support. I'm going to tell you what I think is happening.

I'm entirely convinced Candace Owens is an op. I mean, I got to be honest. She comes from the right. Well, actually, to be honest, she came from the left. She was a leftist. She was Red Pill Black, and she was doxxing conservatives or whatever she was accused of doing. I don't know, and then has this awakening and becomes Red Pill Black. Right? Before this, I don't know, Candy something, she was — social autopsy, I think it was, doxing people on the right. So she comes from the liberals. She joins the right as Red Pill Black, joins the Daily Wire, and works at Turning Point USA, and I think Prager. She's a conservative now. And then, you know, through that journey, now from the right, she is pointing people in a, let's just say, anti-populist, anti-Trump, anti-independent direction. She is telling everybody that Turning Point is bad. Turning Point is how Trump won, largely, not entirely, but largely. Turning Point rallies student groups, and she is has done everything in her power to destroy Charlie's legacy. It's very strange.

I said in November, this is demoralizing, and we will lose the midterms if she keeps this up. And Candace responded to me directly, we don't care about your midterms. Interesting.

If my goal was to make sure Democrats won the midterms, what would I do differently to Candace Owens? When Nick Shirley has been exposing fraud to the tunes of millions of people, exposing billions of dollars, well, that's bad for Democrats in these jurisdictions because people don't like it. What would I do if my goal was to discredit? I'd say exactly this. You'd pull up a year-old video unrelated to politics that the average person can't understand because they've not been to the favelas, and then just say, I'm telling you that's not possible. And they're going to be like, huh, that does — it does — yeah. I trust — Nick Shirley's a liar. What?
