The Keith Edwards Show - Candace Owens Stuns Trump by Backing His Worst Enemy

Episode Date: April 25, 2025

​Keith Edwards discusses Candace Owens' surprising support for Harvard University in its legal battle against the Trump administration, which has threatened to withhold federal funding over alleged failures to address antisemitism on campus.Owens, a longtime Trump ally, criticizes the administration's actions as an attack on free speech, urging Americans to back Harvard in defending constitutional rights.

Candice Owens is pissed at Trump. She said this is not the Trump she knows. I mean, I don't know what Trump she knows, but it is fascinating the thing that has taken her over the edge and is attacking the Trump administration. They also have Laura Lumer, too, exposing the Trump administration for what she calls is infighting in the White House and much more. Laura Lumer and Candace Owens aren't the only people kind of made aware of how bad Trump is. Here, CNN is actually doing a really good series right now where they're talking to small

business owners and asking them how the tariffs are affecting them. And this is one small business owner in Albany who runs some restaurants talking about how the tariffs have affected his business. We have definitely seen a pullback on foot traffic people coming in, you know, more or less since the April 7th, the Liberation Day. Our first quarters were soft for many restaurants around the country, us included. And we've seen some consumer confidence drop off in the last three weeks or so. Obviously, this creates a lot of uncertainty for you in an already volatile industry, restaurants, as I don't need to tell you, are a risky venture.

How are you managing? You know, we're doing the best that we can with, you know, trying to get ways to increase traffic and to come up with some other ideas. But it's, you know, like I said, you know, the squeeze has been on. you know our costs are up 40% cost of goods 30% in labor since the pandemic and you know well menu prices have really only gone up about 20 to 25% you know restaurants across the country average 3 to 5% profit margins so there's really no place to go but yeah so his his restaurant maybe makes 5% of profit from the sales they do so what he's saying here is that costs have gone up anywhere from 30 to 40%.

He's only been able to raise his prices by 15 or 20% because that's what the market will allow, which means that he is losing 15 to 20% of his revenue because of Donald Trump. Most people in America are not benefiting from Trump's economy, but one person who is is Donald Trump, who, when he launched a meme coin the weekend before his inauguration, he got billions and billions of dollars.

Trump's market cap, that is Trump, the meme coin, is at $2.7 billion. Though the coin has lost 70% of its value since peaking in January, that does not matter. Because what Trump is doing is he's now hawking it and saying that if people donate more, the people, the 220 highest holders of his meme coin, this digital currency are going to be invited to a dinner.

So we have people who are small business owners who can't afford to own and run their business anymore, who are losing money every day because of Donald Trump's insane tariff policy. And then we have Donald Trump who is fleecing the economy and fleecing the country and fleecing the world for everything it's worth just so he can make some more money, so people can have access to him. It's absolutely despicable. Now, that's not why Candace Owens is mad at him. Candice Owens is mad at him for a different reason. And I actually thought this is quite shocking, considering who Trump is going after and who Candace Owens is. But let's us watch. I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university

above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don't recognize his administration right now. I don't recognize what's happening. I have a theory. I do. We were kicking around some theories earlier, me and the team. And we were going, how could Trump be such a free speech enthusiast and being allowing these things to happen?

Going after college universities, trying to suppress speech, while pretending that you're not suppressing speech, while pretending that you're fighting DEI. It's so messy. It's so obvious. Everyone knows what you're. doing. People who are still trying to grift, I guess, I suppose, are not willing to challenge you on this, which is ridiculous, because when you are out of office, we are going to have to live

with these consequences. Our children are going to have to grow up in this America. So when you threaten our speech, it's not worth it so that we can have pom-poms and go hurrah for a couple of years, then go, okay, well, yeah, now it kind of stinks because, oh, we're getting arrested for wrong thing. We've got David Freeman. Yeah, arrest him. Arrest him. Arrest him. Ross Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens. Get them. I love it. And if you think it's going to stop with college campuses, you're out of your mind.

So you better buck up and root for Harvard University. It's crazy she's saying that. I never thought. It's crazy she's saying that she's rooting for Harvard University. The only reason why she cares is because someone else named her and said Candace Owen should be deported.

That's the only reason why she personally cares. but I she's so close to getting it. She's so close to getting it. She's like, we're throwing on theories around why Donald Trump would be such a free speech warrior. But then going after, he's never been a free speech warrior. He has for his entire life used lawsuits as a way to silence people. He's never thought that everyone should have the right to say whatever they want. It's everyone should have the right to say whatever they want as long as I agree with it and it makes me look good.

That's how he thinks. I'm glad Candace Owens is slowly starting. to wake up, but she's got a long way to go. Laura Lumer also, I'm going to get to that in a second, but Laura Lumer also said this on Tara Palmary's YouTube channel. Oh, it's no big deal. We're all just one big happy family at the White House. Everybody gets along.

It's just not true. They don't get along. The advisors don't get along with each other. The heads of agencies don't get along with each other. It's just basic things. Yeah, I've heard that too. And I know that's how Donald Trump operates. It's amazing to hear someone on.

the inside say it. And we're off also, I mean, anyone paying attention would know that Donald Trump and his administration are not running a well-oiled machine. It is leaking like crazy. We have Pete Hexeth, Tulsi Gabbard, Cash Patel, these incompetent imbeciles running departments. And we also have Donald Trump, who is not doing anything at all. He tweeted at Vladimir Putin today. this is this is this is his way he's going to stop the war he just said valetimer please stop please stop so is it surprised anyone that there's infighting and the white house is in chaos of course not uh laura luma also went after trump for this oh this is really funny someone said hey do you want a brain no thanks buddy i'm maga laura luna also came after um trump the trump administration officials

is because the person who wrote the signal gate, the journalist who was put accidentally in that signal chat that lit up the world, Donald Trump attacked him. They made a huge stink about it, that he's a terrible journalist. And guess who Donald Trump is meeting with? Donald Trump is meeting with that journalist. They're going to do a sit-down interview.

The way that Trump says is the way I look at it, what can be so bad, the president said at the interview. This guy is... So, Lori Lumer had this to say, I guess Signalgate didn't bother the Trump administration at all. We were subjected to so much the atrix from Trump administration officials

over Signalgate. Was it for ratings? What was all the fuss about? If Jeffrey Goldberg was going to be invited to the Oval to interview Trump, maybe Mike Walts will sit in on that meeting too. It is very interesting. And Peter Navarro said this.

90 deals in 90 days is possible. And Ron Philip Kowski said, Today's date 13, there's still zero deals. Well, there's plenty of infighting, and Trump is sitting down with the journalist that he said he hates. Hillary Ronald Clinton also said that, I love this. This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees because America has no king. Amen. Can we get an amen in the comments?

Because we need more of that attitude. And I want to end with this. AOC, I would love to know about your thoughts. about this in the comments it someone is saying that aOC is almost definitely running for president in 2028 hmm i wonder what you think about that she released this video and it feels very presidential campaign-esque check it out let me know what you think if you like this video please hit like in the video if you're not subscribed consider subscribing and i will see you next time thanks so much you know idaho i am so touched being here i'm a girl from the

Bronx. To be welcomed here in this state, all of us together, seeing our common cause, this is what this country is all about. Don't let them trick us into thinking we are enemies. Don't let them trick us into thinking we can be separated into rural and urban. Black and right and Latino, we are one. Alexandria, they told us this was a conservative state. They got it wrong. I know that looking around here, it can feel impossible for Republicans out here to be defeated. That's not true. It's simply not true. And from the waitress who is now speaking to you today from this podium, I can tell you, impossible is nothing. As Alexandria just said, when we stand together, when we do not allow them to divide us up,

There is no stopping us. Miracles start with mustard seeds. And that is what each and every one of you represent today. Small miracles of faith in ourselves, in each other and in the refusal to give up.
