00:00:30.000All right, you guys, happy Wednesday. So unsurprisingly, the Daily Mail article of
00:00:35.720Erica referring to me as a soulless ghoul and a B.I. backfired. It turns out that most people
00:00:42.560in the rational world think that someone demonstrating repeat compassion for the man
00:00:46.860that she believes murdered her husband while displaying repeat anger at the person who's
00:00:51.860trying to figure out if that person, Tyler, actually even did it or if more people were
00:00:55.720involved. That did not go over so well with the public. So how did they respond? Well, Andrew
00:01:00.940Colbett, PR disaster, came out of the gate today swinging and attempted to blame me for the article,
00:01:09.020alleging that I colluded with the Daily Mail journalists to publish the article. In effect,
00:01:15.360I called myself a BI and a soulless ghoul so that I could then respond to the article on the show.
00:01:21.580We're talking about the Daily Mail. Go try to find a nice article about me in the Daily Mail or really anywhere, actually. They are running the PR game, obviously. They've been very favorable to Erica. And I just have to say that is an Olympic stretch. I mean, the stretchiest stretch of all PR stretches. I am telling you, that man is losing it. Andrew Colvett has officially lost it.
00:01:44.200that this is going to backfire so badly to pretend that the article was fictionalized
00:02:11.180Who and what does that refer to specifically?
00:02:14.060Today is an episode where you have to take out your notebooks, students, because it is a lot to learn, but it is very important and absolutely fascinating.
00:02:36.620All right, so the Mormon Mafia, who among you has even heard of that term?
00:02:42.220So I gave you the context of my having first heard the term from Courtney Love, of all people, and I genuinely had no idea what she was talking about, what she was referring to. We were talking about Hollywood, and she was then telling me everyone talks about Zionists, but you have to understand the relationship between the Zionists and the Mormons, controlling everything in Hollywood and music and publishing rights. I was totally confused.
00:03:08.240I will be clear, however, that in my personal experience, I very much believe there is a
00:03:12.460Zionist mafia operating because there always has been one.
00:03:16.360I think Michael Jackson alluded to that before his death.
00:03:19.520Kanye West alluded to that after his gym trainer, Harley Pasternak, threatened to drug
00:07:47.540He was the director of public affairs under Bill Clinton before he became his senior advisor.
00:07:53.980Rahm was also the chief of staff under Barack Obama, and then he became the mayor of Chicago.
00:07:59.600A lot of corruption in Chicago, as we know.
00:08:01.960their father was literally in a Jewish terrorist gang.
00:08:06.400Okay, so I bring up that point only to underscore the absurdity of people trying to suggest
00:08:09.840that it's anti-Semitism to note the plausibility of Jewish gangs that are affiliated with Hollywood
00:08:15.140and within politics, especially when so many entertainers have died in mysterious circumstances.
00:08:21.740How many celebrities can drown in a bathtub before it gets weird?
00:08:27.780How many people do you know that have just drowned in bathtubs in general?
00:08:31.960Okay, I believe Kanye West always have, always will, and based on my own literal experience in politics, I have been threatened, my livelihood has been threatened, and I have been gang-stalked by Zionists throughout the court system and beyond.
00:08:47.420But I digress, because you're probably thinking, what does Mormonism have to do with it?
00:08:53.340So I want to be clear that whenever we're covering any sort of mafia or gang, we're not suggesting that every person of that race or religion or ethnicity is a member of that mafia because that's just dumb.
00:09:02.960In fact, in most circumstances, the actual gang members rely on people who are not in the gang to be outraged because it gives them cover, right?
00:09:11.220Criminals benefit best when they can mix in amongst regular hardworking people.
00:09:17.620Obviously, it usually exists at the top.
00:09:20.740So the term Mormon Mafia, where does it come from?
00:09:24.780If you just Google it, you are going to learn that it is a colloquial term that is usually referring to, and I'll quote,
00:09:33.140the trusted Latter-day Saints inner circle of businessmen and accountants who were hired by billionaire Howard Hughes in Las Vegas during the 1960s.
00:09:46.300Okay, so Howard Hughes is the name that we need to reference.
00:09:48.960who is, or rather, who was Howard Hughes. Howard Robert Hughes Jr. was one of the richest and most
00:09:57.340influential people in the world throughout his lifetime. Okay, he lived from 1905 to 1976. He
00:10:04.720was so influential, but Leonardo DiCaprio actually played him in the movie The Aviator. I have not
00:10:10.020seen that. I don't watch a lot of movies. I heard it was a good movie. But he was beyond just a
00:10:15.380businessman. He was an aerospace engineer, an investor, a builder, a film producer, you name
00:10:22.200it. We do not have time to go over every area and aspect of his vast wealth and empire. So I'm going
00:10:27.840to really just minimize it into three main characters for you on this graphic, okay?
00:10:32.820In film industry, he made his name as a film tycoon. He was a producer and an investor,
00:10:38.880beginning in the 1920s, behind such films as Scarface and Hell's Angels,
00:10:42.800eventually acquiring ownership of RKO Studios.
00:14:26.080Then he outright purchased the hotel, casinos, all while he was kept holed up.
00:14:32.040He would see no one but these Mormon men who surrounded him.
00:14:36.460And then they started telling stories about his last years and why he didn't want to see anyone.
00:14:41.740Again, this was in stark contrast to the businessman that the world had come to know and love.
00:14:45.880The public was told that the reason that Howard Hughes suddenly didn't want to see anybody and became a recluse was because he was in pain from injuries that he had endured.
00:14:56.080over his lifetime. So he began taking painkillers. He then developed severe, debilitating OCD,
00:15:04.340which made him avoid all contact with the outside world because he was a germaphobe.
00:15:09.960And that was just some of the very odd things and disturbing habits and rituals that they said
00:15:16.380that he developed. Here is an article describing the only men who had access to him, the Mormons.
00:15:22.600And this was published, is this in Time magazine?
00:15:25.120Yes, it's entitled The Keepers of the King.
00:15:29.260It tells us, this was published, by the way, in 1976, Time magazine.
00:15:33.680It tells us they had no lavish corporate suites, no direct authority over other senior Hughes
00:15:39.140employees, practically no business experience.
00:15:41.920They did, however, have two striking advantages.
00:15:45.040They were, with a single exception, adherence to Mormonism, a religion that embodies Howard
00:15:49.980Hughes's aversion to drinking and smoking, and they had direct unlimited access to the king
00:15:56.000himself. They also never talked. One reporter described them as men without mouths. They were
00:16:01.340Hughes's so-called Mormon mafia, the six gentlemen in waiting who were recruited by the Sumo
00:16:06.860Corporation. Bill Gay himself, a Mormon, attended the Croesus Day and night, and in eight-hour
00:16:15.220shifts. They were assisted by four physicians on 24-hour calls and five lesser functionaries,
00:16:21.440including Gordon Margulis and Mel Stewart. It goes through the names here. For their services,
00:16:26.400the six senior aides were paid as much as $110,000 a year each. They equipped his various
00:16:32.120hideaways, decided which messages would reach him. They censored his reading matters. In short,
00:16:38.460they controlled Howard Hughes and the public image of him. So how does this end? Suddenly,
00:16:44.980this big guy is not leaving anywhere. Well, Howard Hughes died. And I have to tell you,
00:16:51.880it was a remarkably suspicious death, not unlike Michael Jackson's, if you ask me.
00:16:58.860Officially, Howard Hughes died of kidney failure on April 5th, 1976. He was aboard a jet,
00:17:08.160actually, a jet that was owned by a man named Robert Graff, G-R-A-F. Now, that surname may
00:17:16.020have you wondering because of recent news, is that like the newly appointed Judge Tony Graff
00:17:21.440in the Tyler Robinson case? Truly, I have no idea if there's any relation. But what I do know about
00:17:26.180Robert Graff, who owned this jet, is very interesting. He was the founder of Robert Graff,
00:17:32.480Inc., which became Duncan Aviation. His business partner was Donald Duncan. Yes, that Duncan
00:17:40.640Aviation with the mysterious transponding Egyptian planes on the day of Charlie's assassination.
00:17:48.060That was Robert Graff's company, renamed Duncan Aviation in the 60s. Yeah, that Duncan Aviation
00:17:54.600that had that Egyptian plane take off for Delaware shortly before the assassination.
00:17:59.620It is just a small world, but I digress.
00:18:01.900Here are the facts regarding the investigation into the death of Howard Hughes,
00:18:06.760which the investigation had to take place due to a fight over his estate.
00:18:09.880Despite being OCD, he somehow didn't put together a will for his vast empire.
00:18:17.580It tells us that after 18 months studying and investigating Hughes' drug abuse,
00:18:25.160a man who didn't do drugs his whole life and hired Mormons because they didn't do drugs,
00:18:27.900suddenly died a drug addict, it was discovered after this investigation that, quote, someone
00:18:34.260administered a deadly injection of the painkiller codeine to this virtually comatose man, obviously
00:18:41.740needlessly and almost certainly fatal dose. We then learned that he suffered from malnutrition
00:18:49.040and he was covered in bed sores while his kidneys were damaged. His other internal organs,
00:18:53.700including his brain, which had no visible damage or illnesses, were deemed perfectly healthy.
00:18:57.900X-rays revealed five broken-off hypodermic needles that were inside the flesh of his arms.
00:19:04.400When he died in 1976, his body was so thin that observers likened him to a captive from a Japanese prisoner of war camp.
00:19:13.580That was the condition that that man was in.
00:19:17.220Beyond that, it was discovered that in the hotel room that he was being kept for years, unseen by anyone outside of the Mormon mafia,
00:19:24.640The blinds had not been drawn for years.
00:19:47.680Nails grown out, hair grown out, unshowered, bed sores, not even turned over.
00:19:53.480But don't worry. They brought in the psychologist to testify that that's actually something that we term the clean, healthy paradox. Okay. Okay. He thinks other, and it's a lot to explain. You always got to bring in a psychologist to explain nonsense.
00:20:09.680In effect, during those years, his business was being run entirely by his LDS lieutenants,
00:20:16.000people that he trusted, every aspect of it.
00:20:18.320And after he died on Robert Graff's plane, the fight for his $2.5 billion estate began.
00:20:25.000People just coming in saying, oh, no, I should inherit it.
00:20:28.960There was a mysterious handwritten note which was filed by the Church of the Latter-day Saints,
00:20:34.660which they claimed was his last will and testament.
00:20:37.300That claim was summarily rejected by the courts.
00:20:40.380It was a 34-year legal battle until eventually it was decided that the majority of his fortune, around $1.5 billion, would be controlled by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the charity that I told you he started, and that he had transferred the Hughes Aircraft into.
00:20:59.840Charities have trustees that make the decisions on the board.
00:21:03.020And when he was alive, he was the trustee to his own charity.
00:21:07.880Of course, when he died, the trustee of the board became Frank William Gay, his trusted Mormon, who, it would be discovered later, was at one point working with the CIA.
00:21:21.440Now, today, that charity, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, has an endowment of $24 billion, billion dollars, controlled by trustees.
00:21:35.720And the companies outside of the charity, of which there was many, the casinos, the real estate, the movie rights, all of that was placed under a holdings company, Howard Hughes Holding Company.
00:21:49.060We can update you today to who owns all this stuff.
00:21:51.100Today, his Las Vegas Sands Resort, obviously, and casino is controlled and operated by Miriam
00:21:56.900Adelson. It was Sheldon Adelson that had it. And of course, he passed away recently. So Miriam
00:22:03.240Adelson controls that. Steve Wynn controls the Frontier Hotel and casinos and the Desert Inn,
00:22:09.900the place where Howard Hughes became reclusive, never drew the shades. Steve Wynn eventually
00:22:15.440demolished that. And today it is the famed Wynn Las Vegas Hotel. The real estate empire is still
00:22:22.380being operated with his name, Howard Hughes Holding Incorporated. American hedge funder Bill
00:22:29.340Ackman was and is the executive chairman of Howard Hughes Incorporated. He was from 2010 to 2024,
00:22:39.320he was the executive chairman. He retired for a couple of months, but then changed his mind
00:22:44.360And last year, in May of 2025, Bill Ackman made a $900 million investment into Howard Hughes Holding Incorporated, returning him back to that executive chair position.
00:22:57.700I should also mention that Frank William Gay, the trusted Mormon, he had a son, Robert Gay, who became the managing director of Mitt Romney's Bain Capital for 16 years.
00:23:10.620So why am I telling you that? Because the story is interesting.
00:23:14.360It's just interesting to think about that. A man who lives his life and then we are told in the end that he kind of reversed course on everything that he was. He becomes a drug addict. His empire gets smashed, divided. And the articles reflect that he was infiltrated, or heavily imply, by this Mormon mafia, as they term it. That's where the term literally comes from.
00:23:36.540and it's interesting and the reason why i came across this guy's name truly i am not a movie
00:23:41.360person was because when i was researching one of the maroon boys maroon boys um i who i'm not
00:23:48.220naming at this time i did discover that he was a relative of the hughes family empire i thought oh
00:23:53.120who is this who is this howard hughes and then i was speaking to some lds church members who were
00:23:58.280then telling me the story and i started reading the articles and going wow this is super fascinating
00:24:02.500it's also interesting because i have been consistently telling you guys before all of
00:24:09.500this before i knew anything that ostensibly turning point usa is an evangelical christian
00:24:14.780organization but in reality it's a lot of mormons like half of the company it's mormons tyler boyer
00:24:21.560i have been telling you from the beginning was the person that was in control of everything
00:24:27.340the hiring, the firing. Charlie, he has described, yeah, he followed Charlie. Charlie
00:24:33.960did all the work. But Tyler controlled a lot of things. There are a ton of LDS church members who
00:24:41.700work for Turning Point USA who were brought in by Tyler. In fact, on the day that he was murdered,
00:24:48.300Charlie himself confirmed that. So you don't have to take my word for it. You can take Charlie's
00:24:52.440word for it at UVU. This is what he said. Take a listen. This episode is brought to you by FIFA
00:24:59.160World Cup Launch Edition on Netflix. It's a fast, fluid game where your phone is the controller
00:25:05.460and your TV is the stadium. You just launch it on your TV, scan the QR code with your phone,
00:25:12.020and boom, you're shooting and passing in seconds. Plus, it's included in your Netflix membership
00:26:36.380There is no doubt they have both admitted that.
00:26:38.580But she can't remember how she knows him.
00:26:40.340She told me maybe through Senator John Kill, maybe that's what she told me in our face-to-face meeting, but she can't recall that specific detail of the guy who set her up to go on a interview with the love of her life, apparently.
00:26:56.400I remember the last face-to-face conversation that I had with Tyler.
00:26:59.900We were backstage at AmFest, and I was telling him that Charlie should just debate Nick Fuentes.
00:27:06.920there was some griper stuff going on, as usual, at these events in the hallways. And
00:27:10.600I was like, just sit down and just have the debate. I think it's just worth having it.
00:27:15.920And he told me that Turning Point USA was never not going to be pro-Israel. They would always be
00:27:23.600pro-Israel. In retrospect, that's a weird thing to say, especially a weird thing to consider,
00:27:29.260since its founder was quite literally going against Israel in those last months.
00:28:29.980And yes, it may or may not be relevant that Tyler is sitting on the board of a company with Erica's mother, Laurie Fransfay, who had those relationships with the Mormons, like Terrell Barnsworth, before Charlie knew who Laurie Fransfay and Erica Fransfay were.
00:28:49.540We are told that Charlie and Erica had an appointment to change his will, which was scheduled for the Monday after he died.
00:35:36.540Candace was an enemy and Ben was a friend.
00:35:38.580That tells you Andrew Colbert's character.
00:35:40.560And so I am not surprised at what he is attempting today. It is very stupid what he's attempting. It's unbelievably stupid because it's so easy to debunk. Of course, we showed you yesterday another PR disaster from start to finish. Erica's PR has been a disaster. It just has. Andrew Colvin has been driving that bus. She also told me they brought in crisis PR teams. And these people are just not reading the public sentiment from the very beginning.
00:36:06.280What actually began this slide was that tour when she went on to Fox News and then did Barry Weiss. She did like a bunch of shows in one week, and then they asked her about the podcaster, Candace Owens, name-checking me, and she'd stop, just stop. And people were like, whoa, you kind of demonstrated compassion for Tyler Robinson on stage, and you've got these evil eyes for Candace. What's up? Right? What's up with that?
00:36:33.480And the Daily Mail article reflected that stance.
00:36:35.540Compassion, again, for Tyler Robinson.
00:36:37.400They were using direct quotes throughout the entire article.
00:36:40.940Direct quotes coming from a family friend who I speculated was Tracy,
00:36:45.580because that is the only person I know that is friends with Erica's family
00:36:49.700who has been vocally speaking to people in the press.
00:45:00.780rather than tweeting stupidity into the universe
00:45:04.580as seems to be the full-time job of both you and Blake, okay?
00:45:10.760Anyway, a couple of things that I did want to respond to
00:45:13.060from yesterday's episode, we got a lot of emails
00:45:15.240and tomorrow is when we're going to cover,
00:45:17.080obviously who Ben Shapiro was allegedly lunching with when he found out and got the news and his
00:45:22.320security sprung into action and spoke to we still don't know who on the phone in the car. A couple
00:45:28.880of people thought that the car looked like it was burned, that the panel was black and brown. That's
00:45:35.820actually, just so you guys know, you can get that's just an option on a car. That one looks
00:45:40.840particularly dry, but like you can get that option on a car. I've seen that many times. So we're
00:45:44.860actually showing you that that is a full option on a car. That's not any type of conspiracy there,
00:45:50.680that there is black and that there is brown. And then I also wanted to comment on people
00:45:58.420who noted that Mikey had two phones. We've been getting a lot of emails about this. Mikey having
00:46:03.160two phones in the news clip that we showed you yesterday walking into the hospital. Also,
00:46:07.600it's a fact Mikey did have two phones when him and Charlie walked into the event.
00:46:11.080The reason why I have not commented on that and also Blake Neff oddly saying I put that phone away, that implies there's another phone. Everyone would just say I put my phone away. And Blake Neff does say I put that phone away and I can show you that clip. Take a listen.
00:55:53.100Like I told you, I am able to like laugh again and appreciate.
00:55:57.960And I'm just in a different space with it now.
00:56:00.600Like it took me going to Spain and shutting off and I don't know, something just transformed and I'm going, OK, like I can look at the messages and feel happiness as opposed to like the deep, deep, deep sadness and searching.
00:56:15.640Like I'm remembering so many little things and just Charlie's character and the stuff that he, like the real Charlie, you know, not the Turning Point USA machine who was infiltrated and kind of turned into a workhorse.
00:57:34.980That sadness that I felt thinking that Charlie's last days were spent sort of waking up and realizing that everything in his life was a fiction, a play.
00:57:43.760a movie. Now I feel a swell of an emotion realizing that Charlie, he never got to meet
00:57:49.180these friends, but Charlie had a lot of friends, man. He's still a trending topic and people are
00:57:54.340dedicating their lives to this. And what would Charlie say? He can see it. I have to think that
00:58:00.700Charlie can see it. And he's seeing the Baron Coleman's. And last night I was jumping in the
00:58:04.780chat of Lionel Nation and seeing how much people care about him. Like he did have friends and he
00:58:11.260has friends and i don't know i just i just wanted to say that like that makes me feel better just
00:58:16.020to see like you know if charlie was not a real person that was what he earned that's what he
00:58:20.300was building towards that's the account that he was building was that when he died some people
00:58:24.040were spiritually impacted by it that they've been staying on this journey to learn the truth about
00:58:28.340what happened his death meant something it means something and that is only because he was such a
00:58:33.780good person and and he he lived honorably so please do not accept the filth that andrew colbert
00:58:39.240is selling, that Charlie was some liar and secretly he hated everybody and was deceitful
00:58:44.200and working behind the scenes. That's not who he was. Natty Nicole writes, Candice, I saw a 15-minute
00:58:50.180compilation video of you and Charlie laughing together on YouTube and it painted such a
00:58:53.920beautiful picture for those who weren't around back then. How dare they attempt to erase that?
00:58:58.980I pray for you always. I have not seen that. Where is that? Where is this? You got to try to find
00:59:04.260that, Sky. I have no idea where that is. Or Ashley, if you could look that up. I did not.
00:59:09.280I'm ready to see it. I was not in a place emotionally where I could watch the clips
00:59:13.980of me and Charlie. And I told you guys that instantly. We laughed like no other. We had
00:59:19.720names for everybody, names for ourselves. He made fun of himself. He was so self-deprecating.
00:59:25.540I could send him people making fun of him and be like, ha, ha, ha, this is so accurate. This is
00:59:30.820you and he could send me things of people making fun of me um it's that which is the best quality
00:59:35.140when you can laugh at yourself and not take yourself too seriously and um yeah i'm i think
00:59:41.140i could be prepared to watch that it was there were we went everywhere together we really did
00:59:45.140and it yeah i don't know there's nothing really else to say about that but i i look forward to
00:59:49.660watching that uh oh you found it let's let's uh pull that up i want to see what it's called
00:59:55.860never be an option and also surround yourself with people like candace that whatever you're
01:00:02.680doing that can relate no i just want to see the first minute you say something that um they're
01:00:09.060going to tell you you know the truth and they're gonna be honest um but they'll also have your
01:00:12.560back and i understand this might sound um cliche but it's so hard to find that right it's so hard
