So, it's been a huge weekend for Daily Wire. Last night, in tandem with Candace Owens, we premiered the first episode of our most anticipated series to date. Convicting a murderer is our new 10-part docu-series. It covers the national sensation of the true crime case involving Stephen Avery. You'll remember him from Netflix's Making a Murderer, or he was portrayed as an innocent victim who was being targeted by corrupt law enforcement. Unfortunately, that representation of him was not holistic or accurate. Hollywood's depiction of the murder of Teresa Halbach and Stephen Avery's involvement in it was selective at best. They left out mountains of evidence that implicated Avery in the crime. They got parts of phone calls. They misrepresented, witness testimony, all to perpetuate an agenda, which at the time was the anti-police movement. If you remember, when making a murderer came out, it was at the same time as Black Lives Matter was on the rise. I mean, we shouldn't be surprised by this nonsense propaganda coming from Hollywood. All you had to do was look at the facts of the case yourself. You would have seen a tinge of reason. You would see that this guy was obviously guilty. I've said from the time the documentary came out, Just so we're clear, I tweeted about it at the time. He's also in jail for the crime, by the way. He was convicted.

Hollywood is so effective at eliciting emotional reactions out of the public. However, there are still people advocating for Stephen Avery's release. That's why it's necessary that people like Candace Owens come in and expose the agenda of the media, tell the truth, reveal the fact. All the evidence and information omitted in making a murderer is showcased in convicting a murderer. I sat down with

1:14.6

Kansas on the agenda of the media, tell the truth, reveal the fact. All the evidence and information omitted in making a murderer is showcased in convicting a murderer. I sat down with Candace on my show to discuss with her what she uncovered and how it really is just a case study on what's happening in the larger battlefield of media. Take a look. So why don't you talk about, first of all, what led you to want to hone in on this story? You get a lot of stories that come across your us, but this is the one that really drove you enough to want to make a full-on docu-series about it. Yeah, you know, I think I've demonstrated just a general interest in media perception, and I think it's fascinating. It's a study in human psychology, and we can all pretend we're above it, but we've all been subjected to brainwash. So you go from greatest lie Lie Ever sold, focusing on a George Floyd story,

1:44.5

which really was a psychological phenomenon. Everyone genuinely believed this man was innocent. It was

1:49.4

killed with the hands of police. And it's really in that exact same vein where there was just

1:53.8

really this anti-police sentiment, which I think the media was seizing upon. And Netflix,

1:59.5

just right place, right time, recognized a story that was,

2:02.7

in fact, interesting. You had a man, Stephen Avery, who was put in prison, wrongfully convicted

2:08.4

the first time for a crime he did not commit, which was the rape and attempted murder of another

2:14.6

woman who wrongly pointed him out in a lineup. And so I think people wanted to believe that, well, maybe that the justice system got it wrong

2:21.0

twice. And then when he was walking free and got, you know, got accused of another murder,

2:25.3

they needed to believe that this is just completely wrong and this man is innocent, even in the

2:29.9

face of overwhelming evidence. And then you had two documentary makers, two liberal women, lesbians from New York,

2:37.8

who went down there and decided, this is it. We're going to bring this to Netflix. It's a super

2:42.0

interesting story. And what we're going to do is omit details, very necessary details, like,

2:48.0

hmm, similar to George Floyd, bad, three times level of

2:51.8

fentanyl in a system that could have possibly killed a horse, may be relevant, but let's not talk

2:56.0

about that because we're insisting on a different narrative. And that's definitely what drew

3:00.0

me to this particular story. Can you give us just a taste of sort of the stuff that either

3:04.2

wasn't presented to the public in making a murderer or was actively changed? I think one of the things that they were really brilliant at these two documentary makers was deceptive editing, I think would be the right term, which is to say that even if they're showing you parts of the court testimony, you're thinking that you're watching a person respond. Like there's a moment where they're sitting in the courtroom and the police officer gets asked a question and they show you that he gets sort of tight. And it looks like he's lying, right? So you have all these commentators like, well, you see his reaction when he was asked that question. Well, in reality, that wasn't even his response to that particular question. They just used him sitting up at a different moment and put it next to a question that he was asked at a different

3:42.0

time. But even with Brennan Dassey, people were led to believe that he was innocent,

3:47.0

led to believe that he was stupid, led to believe that he was manipulated. And I believe that
