Candace Owens and her team of PR people are trying to paint a picture of the grieving widow who lost her husband, Charlie Kirk, in an apparent suicide. But is it really about grief, or is it about politics?
00:00:00.000All right, you guys, happy Friday. We are going on a journey today. You know, I like it's going to be a good episode when I start that way. I'm looking at everything. Pieces are coming together. I'm asking myself, you're asking yourselves, is this a scam of biblical proportions? Emphasis on the biblical.
00:00:18.640Because from the very beginning of this investigation, I always said there was something wrong with turning point faith. That's when turning point made a turning point, so to speak. It feels a bit psyoppy, like a psychological operation, almost as though faith is being intentionally hijacked.
00:00:36.400But Dr. Frank Tarek, by the way, went on another rant about me. He's getting a sound a little bit like Bobby Boucher's mom, if you guys have seen Waterboy. Everything is the devil. Candace Owens is the devil. He says I'm Satan because I'm confusing. It's just crazy how the truth can confuse people. What is it about the truth that is confusing people in this moment?
00:00:56.820Now, before we get into Frank Tarek, I first have to share with you a very scary story. Something that happened the day after Charlie's memorial. And yes, it's going to include another text message from him, this time sent on September 9th. So, welcome back to Candace.
00:01:26.820You know, turning point has a lot of money, enough money to have not just a PR person, but then to have an entire orbit of people who are being paid to push their talking points like Paramount Tactical. They also have a crisis PR team. I was told that actually by Erica that they hired a crisis PR team because, you know, Andrew had made all those mistakes. But I have to say all of those people appear to be in struggle city at this moment.
00:01:53.960They are struggling to come up with a way, a way to explain the calls that we saw, the Zoom calls that we shared, the laughter, the smiling. They're wondering how exactly they can go about gaslighting the public into believing that all of that is perfectly normal five and a half days after your husband was publicly executed in front of the world, which is why I want to shout out the Daily Mail, okay?
00:02:20.320Because no one has been working harder than the Daily Mail to invert reality. And I got to tell you, this was a difficult one for them. It was not easy. But they did their best with this article. Check out this headline.
00:02:33.080The definitive truth about Erica Kirk's tears, the leather pants, and her new fortune as Candace Owens drops, quote unquote, giggling phone call in wake of Charlie's death. Well, I said it's the definitive truth. Look no further. Nothing says I'm the truth. Quite like when a journalist comes out and says it, right? It could be nothing else. No way this is going to be a lie. So definitive. You don't have to look any further.
00:02:57.980Here's what the article says. This is amazing. This is funny. This will lighten your mood. Quote, the Daily Mail has spoken with several experts on grief and so-called grief policing about the recent obsession that many Americans have developed with Kirk's behavior as a new widow. Love that already. Love that we have a term, grief policing.
00:03:20.120I love that you can always rely on a new psychological phenomenon to be spun out by the media. This is the problem is actually you guys for noticing. And then it says, and as her critics will likely be disappointed to learn, those experts say judgments about Kirk reveal less about her, less about her true state of mind and much more about the broader national discomfort with death, especially the kind of violent, widely broadcast killing that took her husband down. Quote,
00:03:49.180this is a quote from an expert, this is a quote from an expert, guys. It reflects our mourning avoidant, emotion phobic culture where people tend to make all sorts of quick, uninformed judgments about how people are supposed to grieve, says Dr. Alan Woolfelt, a Colorado-based death educator and grief counselor. Shout out to Dr. Alan, because this is a tough job. And he's saying a lot of words. He's doing what he's learned at school is just say a bunch of words, call people a bunch of names. He's like,
00:04:19.180this is supercalifragilisticexpialidociousness. Yeah. The ism, the abracalibragilisticexpialidocious abracadabra, abracadabra, dabda, doobity-doobadabda, ism is what everyone's suffering from. Anyways, it goes on in the article, the experts, so step aside, losers. The experts are here.
