00:00:00.000All right, you guys. Happy Thursday. Sorry I am running late. I was just doing so much research. I have so much to tell you all today. So we have to jump right into this because I actually have a horror story for you, an actual real-life horror story for you.
00:00:14.240So someone called me last night and told me a very strange story about what happened to her back in the 90s at an evangelical university.
00:00:25.220But first, we have to revisit Brian Harpole's story about how far in advance they typically plan security because someone has leaked to me another glaring oddity in this security protocol.
00:00:38.340Let's jump right back in. Welcome back to Candace.
00:00:44.240Do you know what I think? I think that whoever made the decision for Brian Harpole to sit down with Sean Ryan made a terrible mistake.
00:01:02.340Big PR mistake. PR nightmare. That's kind of been the story here. One long, bad PR decision after the next.
00:01:11.840Because the issue is Brian said too much. The internet is meticulous. The internet is clocking them every sentence.
00:01:19.680It's really easy to catch people in inconsistencies and then to keep replaying what they said about certain things, especially when they don't add up.
00:01:28.320So I would like to gently remind you all back at home what Brian Harpole said about what typical preparations entail for Charlie Kirk events. Take a listen.
00:01:37.840Let's move into the threat assessment and the pre-planning for the event.
00:03:13.500And so that first information came in on the 24th.
00:03:17.720And then the information share starts where we're walking through, you know, everything that you need for a detail.
00:03:25.580Everything that you need for a detail, obviously, elsewhere in the interview, he describes this conversation that he had with the chief of police.
00:03:34.640He's upset about the chief of police not covering the rooftops because he feels that his team was on it.
00:03:48.000Well, interestingly enough, I received a tip from someone that was directly involved with the planning of an event that Charlie Kirk was supposed to attend the following day.
00:03:59.220On September 11th, the day after his assassination, Charlie was slated to speak in Woodland Park, Colorado, Colorado at the Cherise Bible College.
00:04:10.420Okay, so that's in Woodland Park, Colorado.
00:04:14.320And according to this person, after Charlie got assassinated, there was a bit of a panicked meeting that took place, which was headed by the chief of police.
00:04:22.800They decided to transform this event into a vigil.
00:04:28.800And they were panicked because, believe it or not, they had absolutely no security plan in place.
00:04:36.160We don't have a security plan in place.
00:04:37.480Now we better consider this, and we need to make sure that we have police officer involvements.
00:04:44.280Why didn't Dan Flood and Brian Harpole and Turning Point USA's security have any coordination with the police departments up in Colorado?
00:04:56.260If this is what they normally do, and, you know, the way he overdescribes that, and they get the plan, and everybody can access and start to begin to speak, and then we speak to the police, and then we do all this stuff.
00:05:07.480We just didn't think to do that for the event that he had the next day.
00:05:38.400If you expected Charlie to make it to September 11th, you would have been communicating about what he was doing up at the Therese Bible College.
00:05:50.080Anyways, moving on to other news, I want to show you this working Excel sheet that I quickly put together today, so it is by no means perfect, but I was telling you that throughout this investigation, I have noticed some recurring themes that have come up.
00:06:04.240I don't really know what all this means.
00:06:05.760I still don't know what all of it means, but I wanted to start jotting this down and putting it together so that it looks clean and we can just add another name every time a name comes up in any of these categories.
00:06:17.500This isn't how you're really supposed to use Microsoft Excel, but it's how I'm using it so that it looks neat.
00:06:22.200If you just look over here at the columns, these four themes that I'm identifying, and I'm going to add more, Liberty University, Eastern Europe, trafficking and child sex abuse, and then in that final column, military.
00:06:37.100These are just themes that I recognize keep coming up.
00:06:39.740So Liberty University, very quickly going through this, Tyler Boyer attended and he graduated.
00:06:44.140Erica Kirk attended and she graduated.
00:06:45.680Cabot Phillips attended and he graduated.
00:06:48.940Mikey McCoy was accepted into Liberty University, but then he chose not to attend because he got the job at Turning Point USA instead and he went direct there after high school.
00:06:59.180It should be noted that his father, Rob McCoy, met Charlie Kirk via Jerry Falwell Jr.
00:07:04.600He was the president of Liberty University until there was a sex scandal fallout.
00:07:11.580And Andrew Colbett, I'll tell you what his connection is.
00:07:14.700Andrew Colbett was working PR for the Kairos company under Johnny Moore.
00:07:18.860Johnny Moore was the lead pastor at Liberty University prior to then leaving Liberty University to start the PR firm.
00:07:26.600And Johnny Moore is an important name for those of you who watched.
00:07:30.440Tucker Carlson had interviewed someone in the military.
00:07:33.040He was speaking about what was happening in Gaza, how children were literally starving, how children were being shot at for fun.
00:07:39.560And bizarrely, they decided that Johnny Moore, Reverend Johnny Moore, is it Reverend Johnny Moore?
00:08:37.040I'm going to put that in the same category.
00:08:38.480In case you don't know this, what happened was Jerry Falwell Jr. and Charlie Kirk decided to come together to establish the Falkirk Center.
00:08:46.920This was actually Turning Point USA, the precursor Turning Point USA, right?
00:39:40.660And I'm going to tell you more about the founding of Liberty University right after a brief break.
00:39:45.480Well, it's certainly a time in America we've had skyrocketing inflation, surging national debt, market volatility, never ending wars, bank failures, and yes, even assassinations.
00:39:55.300I believe it's important to look out for yourself and help protect what's important to you.
00:40:01.340And the same holds true for your money and your savings, of course.
00:40:04.760That's why I've partnered with a great precious metals company, which is Goldco.

00:40:51.580That's why I've been loving Armra Colostrum.

00:43:07.620I have spoken at Liberty University multiple times, and I promise you I never thought once to look up their origin story.
00:43:14.800I was just so excited that there was a Christian university in general, and they were remarkable to me when I spoke there, and I wasn't looking, I guess, for anything deeper.
00:43:26.100I didn't see how I was also being manipulated in various ways early on in my political career.
00:43:31.460So color me surprised to learn that Liberty University was once failing, and then it received a ton of funding.
00:43:38.920Honestly, the story of how it came to be, the university that it is today, is quite interesting.
00:43:43.720Someone emailed me, and they wrote, and I quote,
00:43:46.640Hi, Candace, I'm currently reading The Israel Lobby by John Mearsheimer, and in the book, it talks about how the Israeli government gave Jerry Falwell, Liberty University's founder, Jerry Falwell Sr., a $2 million jet in 1979.
00:44:04.400Adjusted for inflation, that's like $10 million, and that was to gain support from evangelicals in America.
00:44:10.280I figured it would be helpful for your deep dive of Israel buying evangelicals, end quote.
00:44:15.160Oh, that's interesting. That tip does seem like something I should explore. Probably is helpful.
00:44:21.900And it's true. Jerry Falwell Sr., I should tell you, had a rather radical conversion to Christianity when Israel became a nation in 1948.
00:44:33.980Now, prior to that, this is according to the Washington Post, he came from a family that definitely had some issues.
00:44:39.720His daddy, a man named Cary Hezekiah, was a drunk, and he was a bootlegger, okay?
00:44:47.520He was a bootlegger, and he was a drunk, and he got into a fight with his brother once.
00:44:53.460This is literally his brother. His name was Garland, and he shot him dead.
00:44:57.580And to be even clearer here, his dad wasn't just a bootlegger. Cary was not just a bootlegger.
00:45:03.300He was also a smuggler and a trafficker, okay?
00:45:05.900So he pretended like he was just a business owner that was running a string of gas stations, ostensibly.
00:45:11.380But in reality, he was using his fuel trucks to smuggle bootleg whiskey into America during the time of Prohibition.
00:45:17.900And it's giving Trogno liquors, you know, as we started getting into season two of Becoming Brigitte.
00:45:23.740I'm like, wow, a lot of people were smuggling things into America.
00:45:27.340Anyways, I keep telling you guys that the people that rule over us, the people that have these huge platforms,
00:45:34.320they are not smarter than us. They're just more corrupt than us.
00:45:38.500They're willing to do anything to maintain their power.
00:45:40.580And they really are the heirs of gangsters.
00:45:46.520Back to Cary, after he shot his brother dead, he became a rather nasty alcoholic.
00:45:51.980His employee, one time, this is a true story as documented by Rolling Stone,
00:45:57.740his employee stayed home sick one day, so Falwell got mad.
00:46:01.360He decided to catch the man's cat that he loved, and he killed the cat.
00:46:06.060Then he cooked the cat, and then he delivered the remains of the cat to the employee's house for lunch.
00:46:14.760Yeah, that's why I went with the thumbnail title, Don't F with Cats,
00:46:18.360because now we have to find Charlie Kirk's murderer, for those of you who watched that series.
00:46:24.560Now, according to Forbes, he also once threw a man into a bear cage
00:46:28.660after he had an argument with him at one of his restaurants.
00:46:32.080So, yeah, he had a colorful background indeed.
00:46:34.600Like I said, these people are gangsters.
00:46:37.820In 1948, the very year that Israel became a nation,
00:46:41.140Cary Hezekiah died from cirrhosis of the liver,
00:46:44.460and his son, Jerry Falwell Sr., had an immediate radical conversion to Christianity.
00:46:50.020Bootlegging, trafficking, smuggling, be damned,
00:46:52.580because his business was now going to be the church ministering.
00:46:55.760He became a televangelist, and he established Lynchburg College in 1971,
00:47:01.200which would eventually change its name to Liberty University, Liberty University that we know today.
