Why is Gwen Stefani being criticized for her faith?

Candace Owens 0:00
All right, guys, happy Wednesday. Here's what I can say on both the left and the right. It seems that we have people that are playing a game of checkers and not chess. So to my liberals, who exactly are you winning over to your side when you attack Gwen Stefani for supporting a fellow Catholic because he's speaking to Tucker Carlson? OK, we're going to talk about that. She's being attacked online for sharing an episode that was about faith. To my conservatives, I don't know who exactly we're winning over when we applaud the arrest or rather not the arrest, the detainment of a green card holder. Three days now, a legal resident of the United States for speech that we don't exactly like or agree with. That's what at least it appears to be on its face right now.

This is one of those fun episodes where no matter who you are, there's something for you to be offended about. So let's jump right back in. Welcome back to Candace. OK, so one of the many things that I miss about the 90s, you know, if you watch this show, I always say the 90s was the golden decade. Everybody was happy and saving up for Disney. And there were a lot of comedians and comedians who were very offensive, right? They would get everybody into a room, people like Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, and it would make fun of every race and every person. And by the end of the standup routine, everyone was a little bit offended. And also was better for it, knowing that, OK, like you're not that special.

You don't deserve special considerations. And I'm kind of bringing that back. I feel that today both sides just need to be roasted for being a little bit ridiculous, starting with conservatives, obviously, because this has been trending everywhere. People that are looking for reasons to support Mahmoud Khalil's detainment. Okay, so we discussed this yesterday. If you need to get all of the facts, depending on leading up to this moment, please go back and watch yesterday's episode. But essentially, he is a Palestinian green card holder, also a former student, graduate student of Columbia University, who was detained three days ago. That's important because... He has still not yet been charged despite all of the rhetoric online, people digging up social media posts like we're in the UK, social media posts that are not attributable to him. We don't know who's running these accounts. Some of them have been doctored. Some of them are fake.

The Trump team and the Republicans are struggling to give a clear and concise answer as to why they were pursuing his deportation. Right. And that's very unusual. I want to be clear. Typically, one of the things that you love about watching these press briefings is that whether it's Kayleigh McEnany or Caroline Leavitt, when the press comes to them with questions, they're able to slap them down with facts. And this time it just seems like we're getting emotion. OK. Any crime, any arrest, any reason that they had arrested him for breaking a crime would have sufficed. That's how I am. I'm tough on this stuff, and I totally agree. Again, just to reiterate that if you are here, especially on a student visa, not even a legal resident, and you are caught breaking the law, you've opened yourself up for deportation. That's why we're like, yeah, the illegals, they broke the law. They're not here legally. You can go home, okay?

But instead, we're being told by Caroline Leavitt that... It had something to do with him being a part of a group on campus that distributed flyers that were pro-Hamas. So she's not actually explicitly accusing him of distributing any flyers. So the language here is interesting. And she can't show us the flyers because it's beneath the dignity of the office to show us pro-Hamas propaganda properly. But she's telling us that he helped to organize a group that distributed things that were terroristic. And before I tell you what is wrong with that argument, we should just listen to how she described this again.

Does the administration believe that it needs to charge a green card holder with a crime to be eligible for deportation?
