Rumors emerge after prominent Daily Wire hosts skipped the premiere of Candace Owens' documentary



On Thursday's "Fearless" episode, Jason Whitlock recapped the premiere of Candace Owens' documentary, "The Greatest Lie Ever Told." The star-studded evening was held in Nashville on Wednesday, and guests included Kanye West, Ray J, and Kid Rock.

During the event, however, Whitlock observed perhaps a more significant story developing around the people who did not show up for the premiere. The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Michael Knowles were not at the event, causing some to speculate. Watch the clip to get the scoop.

Later in the episode, Whitlock provided an analysis of the documentary and explained what he believes are the shortcomings and successes of Candace's efforts.

'Where is all that money going?' Michael Brown's father says Black Lives Matter abandoned Ferguson activists, demands $20 million



The father of Michael Brown Jr., whose death sparked nationwide protest in 2014, is accusing the Black Lives Matter movement of abandoning Ferguson activists and demanding $20 million for community improvement projects.

Michael Brown Sr. released a joint statement with Tory Russell, the director of the International Black Freedom Alliance (IBFA), on Tuesday demanding some of the millions raised by BLM be handed over to activists in Ferguson, Missouri, where 18-year-old Brown Jr. was killed.

"Thousands of other youth activists in their 20s and 30s have been out in the streets protesting for months and months, and years and years. Still forgotten," Russell said in a video released on Twitter.

"We're asking that Black Lives Matter leadership funds $20 million for Ferguson organizers, organizations and community foundations to do the work," he added.

The statement was in response to a report by the Associated Press that BLM had raised over $90 million in donations to fight systemic racism in 2020.

"We're not begging for a handout, we're coming for what we deserve," Russell said.

A separate statement voiced the concerns from Brown Sr. about the use of the millions donated to BLM.

"Where is all that money going? Who are they giving it to and what are they doing with it?" Brown Sr. asked.

"Why hasn't my family's foundation received any assistance from the movement?" he added. "How could you leave the families who are helping the community without any funding?"

Russell said the money they demanded would be used for community gardens, fellowships, stipends for internships, and annual commemorations of Brown Jr.

The death of Michael Brown Jr. because a nationwide cause for those who saw it as another example of a black male dying at the hands of the police. A grand jury decided against the indictment of Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Brown Jr., who later resigned from the police force. The city of Ferguson settled a lawsuit by the Brown family with a payment of $1.5 million in 2017.

FBI arrests Black Lives Matter activist, accused of spending $200K in donations on tailored suits and property



An Atlanta-based Black Lives Matter activist faces federal charges of money laundering and wire fraud for allegedly using donation money for personal purchases such as tailored suits, guns, and a security system.

Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, was arrested on Friday morning in Toledo, Ohio. Page, 32, was charged with one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Page allegedly operated a Facebook page called "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta," a non-profit organization that accepted monetary donations under the guise of using the money to fight against racial injustice. Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta solicited donations on GoFundMe, where the organization was listed as a non-profit.

Page assured people that "none of the funds have been used for personal items," according to the FBI. "All movement related."

Authorities claim that a bank account named "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Inc." was opened in 2018, and Page was the only signatory on the account. Between April 2018 and May 2020, the bank account's balance never exceeded $5,000, but donations started pouring in following the death of George Floyd in late May. Officials say between June and August of this year, $467,342.18 in donations were transferred to the BLMGA bank account that Page controlled, as reported by WTOL-TV.

The FBI said Page used a debit card linked to the same bank account that was dedicated to Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta to make personal purchases. Page reportedly used the donation money to buy food, entertainment, tailored suits, furniture, guns, and a home security system.

Since early August, Page's Instagram and social media videos have featured an increased amount of new clothes, including posts about tailored suits, "nice cufflinks," and "$150 ties."

On Aug. 21, Page allegedly used the Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta bank account to purchase a residence and an adjacent vacant lot in Toledo for $112,000.

Records show that the home was purchased by an organization Hi Frequency, an organization for which Page was listed as the treasurer and general counsel. Page seemingly attempted to hide his ownership of the property by stating in the non-disclosure agreement that the transaction was to be entered "by and between Hi Frequency Ohio via Sir Maejor Page" and the seller's agent.

Authorities said Page spent over $200,000 on personal items with money from donations made to his Black Lives Matter organization, but the FBI did not find any purchases or expenditures tied to social activism or racial injustice.

Page was released after posting $10,000 bond.

As part of his bond release, Page is not allowed to use Facebook. He is also barred from conducting any fundraising or obtaining any new bank accounts or lines of credit without prior approval of Pretrial Services.

GoFundMe said the company had removed fundraising accounts associated with Page and the Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta organization. Page has been banned from using the GoFundMe crowdfunding platform, and refunds are being offered to donors who request them.

"GoFundMe has taken action to ensure you can no longer start a GoFundMe for BLMGA. PayPal has also confirmed BLMGA has been removed from its database," the statement read. "Campaigns with misuse are very rare, and we take all complaints very seriously. Our team is working with law enforcement and assisting them in the investigation."

An IMDB listing shows "Sir Maejor" was an actor in FX's TV series "American Horror Story: Coven" as an "albino guard/henchman."
