00:00:30.000All right, you guys. Happy Wednesday. Sorry we're running a few minutes late. We were doing a lot of fact-checking, and I think it will be well worth the wait because about that White House Correspondents' Dinner.
00:00:41.860I gotta tell you guys, a very curious thing happened afterward. I've learned that the White House attempted to rescind an email that went out shortly after the shooting. Shooting.
00:00:56.160And it was a communications email, which may go a long way in terms of explaining how that Erica Kirk moment went so viral.
00:01:04.720And on that note, I also learned an interesting thing about Justin Strife, the COO.
00:01:10.220He became the COO seven days before Charlie died of Turning Point USA.
00:01:14.760And I've told you guys he's the person who allegedly phoned the mysterious Pierre on that day.
00:01:21.340Well, not only did he make that rather suspicious phone call, but he also called someone else with an approval from Erika herself.
00:01:31.080I will just say when you learn who else he called, you're just going to probably feel like I feel.
00:01:36.420These people had some curious priorities that day, which seemed to center around making money.
00:01:43.000And across the pond over in France, Brigitte, I miss Brigitte, Brigitte and Emmanuel Macron have spun out a new explanation regarding that slap heard around the world. And I would say it's not that believable. Welcome back to Candace.
00:02:13.000Well, well, well, my friends. Seek and you shall find. You shall find fakeness and you shall find
00:02:20.700gayness everywhere. We are all living the Truman Show. So I'll just jump right to it.1.00
00:02:27.440Apparently, the White House military office sent out communications shortly after our alleged
00:02:34.100shooting, right? I feel like Austin Powers, the shooting, you know, the one that took place
00:02:52.800the commander-in-chief's life was truly at risk,
00:02:55.920the president, as well as the number two,
00:02:58.420the Veep, also in the room, he gets taken out.
00:03:01.360If they're both potentially in the line of fire,
00:03:05.020then yes, it would absolutely be appropriate
00:03:06.980for our military to be coordinating messaging with the nation, to the nation, about their safety.
00:03:13.440Everyone's okay. This has been resolved. But something else happened. So to jog your memory,
00:03:20.980the shooting took place at 8.36 p.m. Eastern. That's when the Secret Service began firing
00:03:29.500at one another. So we've since learned. Then at 9.25 p.m., so a little under an hour later,
00:03:38.940Sarah Seidner, you will recall of CNN, she became the first person on social media
00:03:45.500to upload the now infamous I Want to Go Home video by Erica Kirk. And we can show you that
00:03:53.400that's when she uploaded it. There is a tool where you can look at the metadata of Instagram posts.
00:03:58.500She posted it onto Instagram. Here it is. In the corner there, it will tell you that she posted it at 1.25, and you are looking at Universal Time, okay? So 1.25 a.m. Universal Time, that is 9.25 p.m. Eastern Time, okay?
00:04:19.580What happened next? Approximately 9.49 p.m., so less than 20 minutes later after that video went out, the White House military office sent out an updated communication.
00:04:34.560Oddly, within that communication, they describe an amendment to the Erica Kirk video clip, okay?
00:04:43.220The traction of which they were monitoring.
00:04:46.640Now, I can get behind the military office wanting to communicate.
00:04:50.820Don't quite understand why this moment would be something that they were monitoring and then sending out language about how they wanted this to be the focus of the evening.
00:05:00.240That point seems to me to be a bit odd.
00:05:03.160So I will say right here, the reason why we were running late is because I do not particularly like playing Trust Me Bro when it comes to the show.
00:05:10.660I like to show you the evidence and we do have the email. We have the email chain. But I am going to have to spend some of my earned credit with you guys and not show you a copy of this email exactly because we were very quickly able to determine that the Department of Defense is using what is known as a canary tactic to root out would be leakers. Right.
00:05:31.520So I think I've told you about this is shortly after Charlie's assassination, they similarly implemented this at Turning Point USA.
00:05:38.320What this means is that the IT departments are able to implement a strategy so that when they send out emails to everyone, you know, just going to send out a mass email, they are able to issue these slight variations to everyone's email.
00:05:53.640So the word might be different. The time might be different. Barely noticeable watermarks throughout the email. Intentional typos. They can use AI programs that will do this so that every email that goes out is slightly differentiated and it helps them identify immediately the source of a leak.
00:06:11.800smart for our military to be using that. But obviously, we sat here and we're like,
00:06:16.380we can't share this publicly because they will be able to determine exactly who sent around this
00:06:23.100email and people could lose their jobs. But to prove to you that I am not lying, I can give you
00:06:27.860a few of the names of the people that were copied on this email. Stephen Chung was copied on the
00:06:33.680email. Ryan Ripien was copied on the email, and a gentleman named Gustav Anderle was copied on
00:06:44.440the email. I actually do, while I'm here, want to remember the title of Gustav Anderle, because
00:06:49.560these are people that I wouldn't even know. He is the White House Communications Agency,
00:06:55.980and it looks like it just says he's the Information Systems Manager at the White House Communications
00:07:02.860agency in Arlington, Virginia. So these people all have access to the email. Feel free to not
00:07:08.000trust me, bro, and to go ask the press if I'm telling the truth. You can just do that. That's
00:07:13.340easy. Anyway, I'm now going to read you the relevant portion of this email pertaining to
00:07:18.260Erica Kirk. Fascinating. Remember, everyone was gaslighting us and saying that this was totally
00:07:22.240just organic. And no, they weren't asking people to boost this clip for any particular reason.
00:07:28.180It reads, amendment to the Erika Kirk video clip, the video clip of Erika Kirk leaving the ballroom area and stating, quote, I just want to go home is driving our highest organic engagement of all incident related content across platforms.
00:07:47.480platforms. The current assessment of that digital item is that it has generated the strongest
00:07:54.400emotional response. It is our strongest emotional response asset associated with the incident.
00:07:59.620It has high cross-ideological circulation. So whether you're on the left or the right,
00:08:06.280wherever you stand, we're seeing this clip. That's good for us. It has elevated repost
00:08:13.140velocity amongst political commentary accounts, increasing the use as a symbolic framing device
00:08:21.240regarding media conduct and national stability narratives. Our recommendation forward is that
00:08:29.120all communication channels should amplify this clip further, coordinate with digital partners
00:10:28.460now in case you are thinking well it's possible that this just keeps happening to erica kirk
00:10:36.900right she's just being used she just wants to go home this terrible thing has happened
00:10:41.380and these snakes are the guarded at the white house they're just using her against her will
00:10:47.040i would like to strongly caution you particularly you blakey neff what are we 41 days in
00:10:53.240um i'd caution you against making that argument because i'm working on a background lead and it
00:11:00.680just won't be good for you so just be quiet okay probably we'll have that for you tomorrow
00:11:06.520anyway what happens next now if you're thinking okay well maybe that's normal is that the white
00:11:12.200house completely panics because too many people were on this email okay they just made a bit of
00:11:17.600a blunder the i guess you could say the white house military office uh uh panicked and they
00:11:22.400attempted to resend the email. This is also a plausibility. You can get your IT person if you
00:11:28.400make a mistake and send to the wrong person. They can reach in and literally take the email out of
00:11:34.160everyone's inbox. But for some reason that did not work or it worked too late. I don't know what the
00:11:40.460issue is. But it did not resolve the issue. They then panicked even further, I am told, and sent
00:11:48.340out multiple emails instructing the people that were on that email that they absolutely had to
00:11:54.700delete it. Okay, it was an order. You have to delete this. No questions asked. There'll be
00:12:01.020conversations about this. We need to make sure that you have this deleted. And then they brought
00:12:06.160in more IT to get involved to deal with this blunder. Now, there are other parts of this email
00:12:11.520Now, I've read there is nothing else here that would stand out as needing to become a White House internal emergency to get something deleted.
00:12:21.500OK. First part is talking about approved message emphasized. The president is secured. The VP is secured. Everyone's you know, they're good. That's that's not problematic.
00:12:34.860They say that there's no credible, there's no foreign threats.
00:12:39.360We're going to make sure we monitor any misinformation that's on the platform.
00:12:43.880They also want to, well, they want to monitor adversarial state media framing to make sure that, you know, other states are not lying about what's happening and saying things.
00:13:03.880The Erica Kirk video, asking to amplify that, make sure that's number one by morning time, that's the part that stands out in this email.
00:13:13.880Why would that be a focus, again, just a little over an hour after the VP and the president are taken somewhere secure because there's a potential shooting?
00:13:26.940i want you to think about that and like i said we'll have more information about that and
00:13:31.600just put you just keep patting ourselves on the back for the fact that they keep trying to gaslight
00:13:36.800us and to pretend that we are not living in an embarrassing movie um and that they are not all
00:13:43.580just a bunch of clowns and characters uh trying to gin up our emotions uh to sway us one way or
00:13:50.980the other and particularly over the last eight months it's just been like you need to feel bad0.52
00:13:54.840for Erica Kirk. That's kind of been a focus of the White House. Of the White House. There is an0.80
00:14:00.620unnatural alliance here between Turning Point USA and the White House. It's too much. It's feeling
00:14:07.280a bit squishy in here. Which brings me to something else that I discovered, okay? Let's just play a
00:14:13.620multiple choice game for people who have common sense. If you don't have common sense, don't play
00:14:16.780this game. This game is not for you, okay? It's September 10th, 2025. Your company founder and
00:14:24.560your boss is tragically assassinated in front of the entire world. And there's a video of him
00:14:29.920dying, actually, that is being spread across social media like wildfire. Do you on this very day,
00:14:38.120A, tweet something out about Trump needing a ballroom? B, phone Charlie's grieving widow
00:14:47.140and proposition her about how money can be made?
00:14:51.500C, call a mysterious billionaire named Pierre?
00:15:11.660By the way, in case you're like me and the team
00:15:13.940and never actually knew what CAPTCHA meant or stood for,
00:15:17.140We learned today that it stands for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell computers and humans apart.
00:15:25.200I'd like to, I think just more broadly speaking, we need to be able to tell if these computers versus humans,
00:15:29.560because I think the droids are amongst us.
00:15:32.540But anyway, if you did pass our multiple choice test, and if you are not a robot, and you said none of the above, that's a win.
00:15:37.820Of course, if you were Justin Strife, you probably picked both B and C.
00:15:42.840Because we learned another totally wacky story from our tips line that we were able to verify because they provided receipts.
00:15:51.440But Justin Strife, just to jog your memory here, he is the chief operating officer of Turning Point USA.
00:15:58.220That's a new position to which he was promoted just seven days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
00:16:03.060He was, as you will recall, also the person that Erica brought with her for our four-hour sit-down meeting.
00:16:08.780So we can surmise from that that there is some trust between the two.
00:16:13.520I remember that I had specifically asked Justin Strife about that audit at Turning Point USA,
00:16:21.280the audit that Charlie announced at the same time that he promoted Justin.
00:16:25.620Remember, that was one email before they were starting the Canary email process.
00:16:30.220We had scooped that and I was like, oh, that's interesting.
00:16:33.020Does this mean that Charlie trusted Justin because he was looking for money?
00:16:36.740And I explained to Justin that I had heard at first what was an outside rumor, someone outside of the organization that Charlie knew in a personal capacity, told me that Charlie opened up to him and said that $10 million was missing from his organization and that it wasn't Turning Point USA, but it was Turning Point Action and America's Turning Point, right?
00:17:00.380That tip to me felt solid, but it was very difficult, given who gave the tip, but it was very difficult for me to trust an outsider's perspective, their word on the inner workings of the company.
00:17:13.440But then, lo and behold, someone from within the company, within the organization, confirmed to me.
00:17:19.300They said Justin was actually overheard on the phone yelling about missing money, that all of the money was missing from turning point action.
00:17:57.520If that pans out and that's true and Charlie discovered there was money missing and then he established this doge to audit himself internally, you know, not the accountant's auditing, which they tried to then say, oh, the accountant's audit every year.
00:18:23.300My personal opinion, I'm going to stick to it.
00:18:25.300But anyway, but what's fascinating in all the wrong ways is that we learned that on the day that Charlie died, Justin Strife made another phone call.
00:18:36.360He allegedly, I'll say allegedly, called a former U.S. Army interrogator turned book printer.
00:18:46.540And that's what Justin had on his mind.
00:18:48.520He wanted to take care of ordering a boatload more of Charlie's upcoming book.
00:20:33.460She was able to just clearly and rationally
00:20:36.820handle some business on the very day that Charlie was assassinated. And like I said to you,
00:20:42.940those conversations even about her taking over the board and CEO, that happened early,
00:20:47.340within 48 hours, that decision was made. She just had that clarity, didn't need time,
00:20:55.200understood that that was her focus. Like, I will show you more books. And I will say what is
00:21:02.040especially curious is that I then learned that Justin was reaching out in his other capacity.
00:21:10.120He has a whole other job, a whole other full-time job that I had no idea about. He's not just the
00:21:15.660CEO of Turning Point USA. I didn't know that you could be in the C-suite and have time to have
00:21:21.380another full-time job, but Justin Strife does it. He's also running winning team publishing.
00:21:28.200If that sounds familiar to you, that's that book publishing, conservative book publishing company that was started by Sergio Gore and Don Trump Jr.
00:22:39.500So in that capacity, as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff,
00:22:43.180Sergio Gore was second in command to Susie Wiles.
00:22:46.140But he was sort of unceremoniously kicked out, right?
00:22:50.520They kind of made it seem like it was like, hey, he's being upgraded by being sent to India.
00:22:56.620But the rumor, the down low that I can tell you is that there was apparently a bit of a bust up with Elon Musk.
00:23:02.900OK, so Sergio Gore personally had it out for Elon Musk.
00:23:06.940He didn't like him. I'm not taking sides.
00:23:08.640I'm telling you the facts and the alleged facts.
00:23:13.060And apparently when Elon Musk and Trump had this falling out, Sergio Gore, the Trump whisperer, was largely behind this falling out.
00:23:20.520Or Elon assumed or thought that he was behind this. And Sergio Gore personally put a stop to Elon Musk's guy, Jared Isaacman, being appointed. Then somebody found out about Sergio Gore and another donor's son, some sort of a relationship, I was told. And there was a little bit of time for Sergio Gore to go before this blows up in the media.
00:23:46.380and Sergio Gore then got moved to India as the ambassador.
00:23:50.600He was sort of like randomly named the ambassador to India.
00:23:53.280And you will recall that it was one of the more bizarre
00:25:30.340Would that rank high for you for needing to do that, to just be there watching the president sign something for Sergio Gore to go to go to India?
00:25:36.900I feel like these people know each other,
00:30:15.180He thinks that we're locked in like a beef of the ages
00:30:18.140or something, Biggie versus Tupac, right?
00:30:20.520Like, like he's just he's so tough. He's tough enough, apparently, to infiltrate a gang in 48 hours, but he apparently cannot bear the criticism, totally fair and sensible idea that people who can think rationally and critically aren't buying this.
00:30:36.440I'm sorry. It's nothing personal. It's just dumb.
00:30:40.020So the Internet drunk Jessica Reed Krause, known as House and Drinking Habit, came to his aid.0.99
00:30:46.340Like that's what they do. They send out where they get real, real reinforcements come in.0.99
00:30:49.380And she tweeted this. I could not stop laughing. Two of Nick Shirley's elementary school teachers
00:30:55.940reached out to me recently to praise Nick, recounting what a smart, sweet, kind kid he was
00:31:01.840throughout his early years. If Candace's attacks on him don't raise your suspicions,
00:31:06.400you were never rooting for any side. And then Nick responds. This is like, OK, here it is.
00:31:12.700here's the proof that I can infiltrate gangs. He writes back this. That's amazing. To this day,
00:31:17.840I still keep in touch with a few of my teachers on a regular basis. I had some great teachers
00:31:23.180growing up. And then she takes it a step further and she says, these are the type of DMs I
00:31:29.040occasionally receive from former teachers of Nick Shirley, glimpses into who he was long before we
00:31:34.900all knew his name, a driven, thoughtful kid who showed up to help wherever he was needed. It's
00:31:40.300why Candace Owens is targeting him now. Nick is wildly respected, wildly, widely respected,
00:31:45.780pardon me, among conservative media, carrying forward what Charlie Kirk led with, proof that
00:31:50.180you can build influence and make an impact without relying on crude rhetoric, shock tactics and
00:31:55.360conflict. I can't believe this is coming from Jessica Reed. Instead of setting up in a sterile
00:32:00.420studio, ranting about the state of the country, he's on the ground taking action, infiltrating
00:32:05.300these scenes in 48 hours to uncover the corruption that the other media won't touch. And he's polite.
00:32:12.080Lived experience lends itself to quality journalism. Truth overspin, something Candace is not capable
00:32:16.600of. In the end, old school pursuit of truth will always outlive scripted trash talk.1.00
00:32:23.780Are you OK, Nick? Like, are you are we are not trying to get you into Harvard. We don't need
00:32:30.220letters of recommendation from your kindergarten teacher about the fact that you sharpened your
00:32:36.340pencil on your own and you learned cursive faster than the rest of the class. This is not what we
00:32:42.180are talking about. Actually, we are specifically speaking about lived experience, people who don't
00:32:48.140turn to journalists and reporters. It's not like a form of guerrilla journalism to go out there
00:35:41.400Now they're rolling out a new excuse because they're realizing, OK, that was a little ridiculous.
00:35:46.680What can we say to back that up and explain that moment?
00:35:49.280And there's a New Times headline here that we can show you.0.94
00:35:53.540Brigitte Macron slapped husband over text messages to an actress.0.92
00:36:01.340So, like, everybody kind of knows Emmanuel Macron's gay.0.62
00:36:03.860So this this is just implausible, like right on its face that Brigitte Macron at the and Emmanuel Macron are arguing because he's texting some hot actress.0.73
00:36:15.380But that's what they're going with. And they're now saying that, OK, they weren't joking.
00:36:20.940You're right. Brigitte did give him the business, like, you know, shoved the hands right into his face.
00:36:27.920It was a little embarrassing. We were landing in Vietnam, but we can shed a different light on this.
00:36:33.860And what you guys actually saw at the Hanoi airport in May of 2025 is actually the fact that the first lady was angry, angry after seeing a text message to her husband from, and I am definitely not saying this name right, Golshifte Farhani.
