00:00:00.000The preliminary hearings in the Charlie Kirk assassination case are now underway.
00:00:04.000All evidence clearly points to trans loving gay man Tyler Robinson, the DNA, the texts, the confession, the rifle, but that's not actually the big story today.
00:00:14.000The big story is that for the last 10 months or so, Candace Owens and her fellow travelers have been claiming not only that Tyler Robinson is innocent, but that the people closest to Charlie, including his friends, his colleagues at Turning Point, and of course, his widow, were either responsible for her murder or the cover up of that murder.
00:00:35.000Today, we're going to go through and debunk Candace's twisted bullshit and examine the effects of that evil.0.94
00:00:40.000And we'll talk about what it means for the broader public that such conspiratorial garbage has found significant purchase on the right.
00:00:52.000So, I've been pointing this out consistently for, at this point, almost a year.
00:00:56.000What we've been watching since Charlie Cook's murder on September 10th, 2025, is one of the sickest and most perverse and most Evil political character assassinations of all time.
00:01:08.000A prominent political figure is murdered, and an attention seeking sociopath named Candace Owens makes it her singular mission to implicate the widow and the people closest to the victim in the murder, and in the process activates thousands, perhaps millions of people to target the widow.
00:01:24.000Now, obviously, obviously, this is wicked.
00:01:28.000Not just because Candace Owens and her sick followers are providing the basis for a Tyler Robinson reasonable doubt claim.
00:01:34.000That probably won't work because there is no reasonable doubt here.1.00
00:01:37.000It's actually disgusting because Candace's goal here is simple generate hate, maybe even violence against Erica Kirk, TPUSA, and all her political opponents.0.53
00:01:47.000It's never been about the facts or the truth.
00:01:50.000It's about generating fake smoke so that people will think there is a fire and so that people then train their fire on people Candace Owens despises.
00:01:57.000There's an enormous amount to this story.
00:02:00.000Now, again, the reason this is all coming up is because this week is the preliminary hearing in the prosecution of Tyler Robinson, the actual assassin of Charlie Kirk.
00:02:08.000So, in Utah, the way that it works is that people charged with felonies are entitled to a preliminary hearing before the trial.
00:02:14.000The goal in these hearings is to show a neutral judge and arbiter that there's probable cause and evidence sufficient for conviction before you start in on the trial.
00:02:22.000Because if there's not, then the whole thing should be dismissed.
00:02:25.000So, what we're watching right now unfold is not a beyond a reasonable doubt trial with the jury and everything else.
00:02:32.000The judge is just supposed to determine if there's enough here to make a case, which, of course, there is.
00:02:36.000So, on the first day of the hearing, which happened yesterday, There were only a couple of witnesses because the defense kept objecting on the basis of hearsay, and the judge kept overruling those objections.
00:02:46.000Erica Kirk was present, so was the rest of Charlie's family, so were top TPUSA members.
00:02:53.000The two witnesses who were called were Officer Christopher Bagley of the Utah Valley University PD.
00:02:59.000He testified that he heard the shot that killed Charlie and knew it was a rifle and described the situation, which sounded like a shooter prone on the roof, which is, of course, what it was.
00:03:07.000FBI agent David Hull then presented law enforcement video evidence as well as the autopsy report.
00:03:13.000The autopsy report showed that Charlie was killed by a bullet to the neck.
00:03:16.000Of course, not some sort of magical exploding microphone, as Candace Owens and others have suggested.
00:03:22.000Here is the judge who was shown the footage of Charlie getting shot.
00:03:25.000You can see the judge, whose name is Graf, flinching at the footage.
00:03:37.000So, you can see him flinch when this happens.
00:03:42.000We never showed it on the show for a reason because watching a man, particularly somebody you're friendly with, get murdered on camera is about as horrifying as it gets.
00:03:52.000Well, this whole week, we'll be seeing the unveiling of available evidence and we'll continue to bring you the updates.
00:03:57.000You know, we're going to bring you actual facts, like things that happen, not personality driven drama or psychotic conspiracism.
00:04:04.000We're going to spend some time debunking conspiracies because a lot of people are being sucked into this trash.
00:04:09.000But truth actually matters, and we care about the truth, so we'll continue to tell it.
00:04:17.000It is obvious that Tyler Robinson did this, and it's also obvious why.
00:04:21.000So let's go back through the timeline briefly as a review.
00:04:23.000So, back in April 2025, Charlie tweeted out that assassination culture was spreading on the left, which of course is true.
00:04:31.000In August 2025, there was a change.org petition that started circulating to prevent Charlie Kirk from speaking at Utah Valley University.
00:04:39.000Now, again, These sorts of change.org petitions have come up regularly whenever people like Charlie or I or anyone else speaks on a college campus and happens to be conservative.
00:04:53.000Less than a week after Charlie died, by the way, there was another petition put up on change.org that had 16,000 plus signatures suggesting that they shouldn't allow a memorial for Charlie at UVU.
00:05:04.000September 3rd, 2025, UVU issued a statement reaffirming their commitment to free speech, and the event went forward.
00:05:11.000Okay, so now the day of the event, September 10th, 2025.
00:05:21.000And as we are going to see throughout this week, basically all of Robinson's movements from the time he arrived until after the assassination were captured on tape.
00:05:30.000So, all the conspiracy theorizing is just nonsense, and it always was.
00:05:33.00011 52 a.m., Robinson moved through stairwells to the rooftop.
00:05:38.000About 150 yards from the event courtyard, he was wearing dark clothing.
00:05:42.000Charging documents noted that Robinson was walking with an unusual gait.
00:05:46.000Meaning that he was not bending his right leg, and that's because there was a rifle allegedly hidden in his pants.
00:05:52.000And here you can see footage of Robinson limping toward the UVU campus.
00:06:49.000I mean, this is the footage of Robinson climbing down off the roof.
00:06:52.000This is what's happening right afterward.
00:06:54.000You can see the figure wearing the same clothing, running to the corner of the roof, and then essentially lowering himself down and dropping off the corner of the roof.
00:07:05.000So, again, this is pretty unambiguous stuff.
00:07:11.000So, I remember where I was when all this was happening.
00:07:15.000I had sort of a breakfast slash lunch meeting with somebody.
00:07:20.000And I got the news that Charlie had been shot, and my security was on the phone with Charlie's security because nobody knew what the hell was going on.
00:07:28.000Well, Charlie was still in the back of the car, and we were sort of getting updates along the way.
00:07:32.000At 2 40 p.m., President Trump announced that Charlie had died on Truth Social.
00:07:36.000By that point, anybody who had seen the tape was pretty certain that Charlie had died.
00:07:43.000If you haven't seen it, count yourself lucky and be grateful because it really is a horrifying tape.
00:07:49.000Okay, from 4 o'clock to 5 59, official statements alternately claim that a person was in custody and then released.
00:07:55.000You remember that FBI Director Kash Patel suggested this, and then the Oram mayor suggested this, local police suggested this, and then it turned out that nobody had been captured.
00:08:03.000And the suspect, Tyler Robinson, was still at large.
00:08:06.000Now, according to charging documents, law enforcement found Robinson's shooting location, but no shell casings there, and a bolt action rifle with one spent round and three more still loaded wrapped in the towel in the woods that Robinson ran toward.
00:08:18.000The way that it works, by the way, is that bolt action weapons do not eject casings automatically, right?
00:08:22.000Because you have to actually pull the bolt back and all of that.
00:08:25.000Okay, September 11th, the next day, a morning press conference unveiled the Mauser rifle that was used to assassinate Charlie.
00:08:32.000It also showed that there were impressions and surveillance footage showing Robinson's path, and Robinson was described as college age.
00:08:38.000FBI released stills and that rooftop video and posted a $100,000 reward for information.
00:08:43.000At 9 p.m., Robinson's parents recognized him in the released images.
00:08:47.000And this was an image of Tyler Robinson.
00:08:50.000And they persuaded Robinson to surrender, and Robinson turned himself in at the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
00:08:56.000So, again, that is all the evidence as of September 11th, 2025.
00:09:01.000The next morning, President Trump went on Fox and Friends and said that Charlie Kirk's killer was in custody and that he wanted the state authorities to seek the death penalty.
00:09:09.000And the authorities did, in fact, identify and charge Tyler James Robinson with multiple counts, including aggravated murder, which could carry the death penalty, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, tampering with a witness, violent offense committed in the presence of a child.
00:09:27.000And the charging documents detailed a ton of evidence, including DNA that was found on the rifle's trigger, the fired cartridge casing, the other unfired cartridges, and the towel.
00:09:39.000Obviously, Charlie was in the middle of answering it on tape.
00:09:42.000He was answering questions about transgenderism and transgender radical ideology when he was shot.
00:09:47.000Every round that was in the bolt action rifle contained an etched description.
00:09:54.000It's all very meme language for people who are too online.
00:09:58.000The second round said, Hey, fascist, catch with arrow symbols.
00:10:01.000The third round said, Oh, Bella Chow, Bella Chow, Bella Chow, which was a reference to a revolutionary song.0.74
00:10:06.000And the fourth round said, If you read this, you are gay, LMAO.
00:10:10.000And then a search of Robinson's residence found more shell casings with etchings and targets with bullet holes in them.
00:10:16.000Robinson's own mother told the cops that Robinson had, quote, started to lean more to the left, becoming more pro gay and trans rights oriented, and also had begun to date his roommate, a biological male who was transitioning.
00:10:27.000Robinson's parents called their son and convinced him to meet them at their home.
00:10:30.000And in their discussion, according to the parents, Tyler, quote, implied that he was the shooter and stated he couldn't go to jail and wanted to end it.
00:10:36.000When asked why he did it, Robinson explained there was too much evil and that Charlie Kirk spread too much hate.
00:10:42.000And then the police ended up questioning Robinson's roommate.
00:10:44.000That was Lance Twiggs, who received texts from Robinson on the day of the assassination.
00:10:51.000And the texts are weird and stilted and creepy, obviously.
00:10:57.000Robinson had instructed Twiggs to look under his computer keyboard, and Twiggs found a note that said, I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I'm going to take it.
00:11:04.000And police do have a photograph of that note.
00:12:16.000Literally, literally within two days of Charlie's murder and the day of the announcement that Tyler Robinson had been arrested, Candace Owens started with the conspiracy theories.1.00
00:12:26.000In a second, we'll get into all the insane conspiracy theories that Candace Owens has been retailing.
00:12:30.000I will tell you what is not an insane conspiracy theory.1.00
00:12:33.000That your cell phone company is probably charging you too much.
00:13:26.000Why pay more for the same tower network when you could actually have just a great tower network and people who actually like your politics and a company that has great customer support?
00:14:33.000Eventually, Jeremy and Caleb made the proper and correct decision to fire Candace Owens.
00:14:38.000And I will point out that at the time, Entire swathes of the right suggested that we had done something wrong.1.00
00:14:44.000And then Candace has continued to demonstrate precisely what she is every single day since conspiratorial idiocy, hate mongering, evil, vile trash.1.00
00:14:55.000And so that started with Charlie, literally two days after he was dead.0.96
00:16:05.000Well, I'd never met Erica Kirk in person.
00:16:07.000I met her September 15th because Michael Moles and Matt Walsh and I, we all went to host Charlie's show in Arizona on September 15th.
00:16:17.000We met with Erica, a lot of hugs, a lot of tears.
00:16:20.000It was, you know, obviously a devastating moment.
00:16:25.000For her, for the entire TPUSA family, everybody who was there, clearly.
00:16:29.000Well, on that same day, September 15th, Candace posted an episode titled, They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk.
00:16:36.000She immediately claimed that threats were made to Charlie and that the Prime Minister of Israel, because of course Candace is a conspiratorial anti Semite, she suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called Charlie before he died and offered him tons of money by Israel, but turned it down.
00:16:53.000And as we'll see, this is all part of her broader conspiracy theory that actually.
00:16:57.000Tyler Robinson did not kill Charlie Kirk.
00:16:59.000It was the Israelis or the French or Egyptian planes or many other things.
00:17:05.000So, by this point, again, this is six days after Charlie had been murdered.
00:17:14.000The memorial service for Charlie had not taken place yet.
00:17:16.000She had unspooled a wide variety of conspiracies suggesting that we weren't being told the whole truth and that the TPUSA family was guilty of some sort of cover up.
00:17:25.000So, September 16th, Candace says, That no one can tell her to shut up except for Erica.
00:17:46.000Okay, well, as we'll see later, Erica did ask her to stop and she said no.0.95
00:17:52.000And now Candace continued to get more and more bizarre in her conspiracism.
00:17:57.000She put out a tweet September 17th with everything I've plotted onto a timeline and with My source on the inside.
00:18:02.000It seems the feds are lying about the outfit switch, which never made sense to begin with, hence the laughably fake messages that are at least two people involved in my view.
00:18:12.000Candace has stoned out about essentially every single piece of evidence.0.91
00:18:16.000And none of this would matter except that Candace, at this time, was drawing some four or five million people listening to her show or watching her show every day.
00:19:47.000Because Tucker is not stupid, as a sort of biblical reference to truth in the New Testament.
00:19:53.000But I have doubts this is what Tucker actually was trying to do.
00:19:59.000And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamplit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about what do we do about this guy telling the truth about us?
00:20:24.000Now, as we'll see later, Tucker's thoughts would become a little clearer.
00:20:28.000It turns out that he kind of literally meant that he thinks that people in a lamplit room eating hummus came up with some sort of plan to kill Charlie.
00:20:37.000Okay, so by October 12th, Candace is now claiming that Egyptian Air Force planes flying out of Utah had something to do with this quote.
00:20:44.000On September 10th, after Charlie's assassination, an Egyptian Air Force plane flew out of Provo, Utah.
00:21:26.000Maybe they like did this transition too quickly, and she's just like keeping her head like, no, what she's saying is Turning Point USA is untouchable.
00:22:32.000Actually, under pressure, Erica then went and flew to Candace.
00:22:36.000Again, the insanity of this entire situation is beyond, honestly, it's beyond me.
00:22:40.000Somebody convinced Erica it would be a great idea to fly to Candace to have a meeting.
00:22:45.000And Candace pretty openly implied that she didn't want to meet with Erica in a place where Erica was in charge of the beverages because she's afraid of being poisoned or some such nonsense.
00:22:55.000So Erica Kirk tweeted out Candace Owens and I are meeting for a private in person discussion Monday, December 15th.
00:23:01.000We have agreed that public discussions, live streams, and tweets are on hold until after this meeting.
00:23:04.000I look forward to a productive conversation.
00:23:17.000It certainly was not productive because by December 17th, Candace was appearing on Piers Morgan's Jerry Springer show and talking about how people at Turning Point were complicit.
00:23:28.000Obviously, for this to have been pulled off, there had to have been multiple people involved.
00:23:31.000There had to have been people at Turning Point that were complicit in having this happen.
00:23:35.000There were people at Turning Point who are engaged in a cover up.
00:23:45.000All of this was lead up to I spoke at TPUSA, and obviously in my speech, I brought all this up.
00:23:50.000I brought up Candace, I condemned her by name.
00:23:51.000I talked about how what she was doing was evil.
00:23:53.000I brought up the conspiratorial nonsense promoted by Tucker Carlson.
00:23:57.000I brought up the fact that Megyn Kelly had been pretending that Candace didn't exist as a human or that she wasn't actually promoting anti TPUSA, anti Erica trash.
00:24:05.000I brought all of that up at TPUSA, and that caused a bit of consternation on the right, and I was accused of quote unquote dividing the movement.
00:24:32.000On February 23rd, fast forward a couple of months, Candace posted the trailer for what she called Bride of Charlie, with iconography suggesting Bride of Chucky.
00:24:43.000There are eight episodes in total, about one hour each.
00:24:46.000And here are some of the theories, just some of the theories that Candace has now retailed about Erica.0.99
00:24:50.000One, Erica is a lesbian groomer who was tied to Jeffrey Epstein's child trafficking network.0.82
00:24:56.000She suggested that Erica doing charity work in Romania was actually tied to sex trafficking.
00:25:02.000And she framed a quote unquote broader pattern of evil, pointing to things like TPUSA facilities being located near Arizona Mills, which she describes as a child trafficking hotspot.
00:25:13.000She says that Erica and Epstein, quote, may have crossed paths because Erica once worked with Next Model Management, which was founded by a person who was friends with Epstein.0.60
00:25:21.000Second, she claims that Erica essentially conned Charlie into marrying her and was a nefarious manipulator.
00:25:28.000She suggested that she had lied about her past and alleged discrepancies in her birth date across legal documents and contested details of her pre Charlie dating life, brought up old photos of her with the guy she had dated before Charlie.
00:25:44.000Third, she has claimed that Erica was working with the Israeli government.
00:25:47.000Again, all of that ties into Candace's theory, now echoed by Tucker Carlson, that Charlie was not murdered by a trans loving gay man.
00:25:53.000But actually, he was murdered because of his increasing skepticism of American ties with Israel.
00:25:58.000Also, according to Candace, a Freemason hit squad may have been involved, also the French.
00:26:03.000Candace then went on and linked Erica's childhood school to what she called MKUltra adjacent figures.
00:26:08.000MKUltra was a bizarre CIA project in the 1960s and 70s, utilizing drugs in order to recruit particular fringe figures.
00:26:18.000And then she connected her family peripherally to a cult scholarship.
00:26:24.000And of course, then tried to implicate Benjamin Netanyahu and also a Romanian church in a child trafficking scandal.
00:26:32.000Fourth, she suggested that Erica had manufactured the story of Charlie being shot in the neck and briefly surviving.
00:26:37.000And fifth, she had suggested there was actually a deep fake of Charlie Crook's voice that was being used to deem Erica the successor of something happened to Charlie.
00:26:46.000This is all just conspiratorial nonsense that she was putting out there into the universe.
00:26:52.000March 24th, 2026, shortly after Joe Kent.
00:26:57.000He was about to be fired, but he left from the federal government.
00:27:00.000He then suggested that there was a foreign nexus, and he would testify at Kirk's trial about a foreign nexus, even if it helped the Robinson defense.
00:27:07.000So all of this is turning into a broader miasma of conspiratorial nonsense.
00:27:12.000On March 30th, the Daily Mail published a misleading headline about the ballistics not matching Tyler Robinson's rifle.
00:27:22.000Because actually, what the actual thing showed is that the bullet fragmented.
00:27:26.000So there's no identifiable bullet, but the headline said that the bullet didn't match.
00:27:29.000So it couldn't be matched because it fragmented.
00:27:31.000That doesn't mean that if it were intact, it wouldn't have matched.
00:27:35.000Now, one of the theories, Candace, claimed that a source of hers witnessed a guy named Brian Harpole, who is Charlie's head of security, leaving what appeared to be a high level meeting with senior military officials at Fort Huachuca.
00:27:46.000An army base in Arizona on September 9th, 2025.
00:27:48.000That's the day before Charlie was murdered, obviously.
00:27:51.000She suggested that this was a final meeting, a sort of covert op meeting before Charlie's killing.
00:27:56.000And she tried to claim some sort of involvement by Erica, rooted, I guess, in involvement with Erica and a documentary that filmed a little bit at Fort Huachuca.
00:28:08.000Harpole was in Dallas at the time, by the way.
00:28:11.000He has now filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens.
00:28:16.000Okay, Candace didn't stop, not for one moment.
00:31:29.000And he was not murdered for his opinions on transgenderism, obviously.0.74
00:31:35.000I believe, and most people who knew him well, as I did and was friends with him, as I was, believe he was most likely murdered for his evolving views on Israel.
00:31:47.000Now, again, what evidence is there for that?
00:31:50.000But according to Candace, July 2nd, on the Sean Ryan show, again, so many sources of brain rot, so little time, she says that she doesn't even believe that Tyler Robinson was there.
00:32:20.000So, as this week began, there was a tete a tete between Andrew Colvitt, who's the producer for Charlie Kirk and close friend of Charlie Kirk, and Candace Owens.
00:32:51.000You gave him anxiety whenever you called or texted, asking or demanding to speak at our events.
00:32:55.000He made me or Justin deal with you and George.
00:32:58.000This is why when you tried to hire me in February 2024 for PR, I agreed to go along with it against my better judgment because Charlie asked me to keep you close and protect the organization from you.
00:33:06.000The publicist I tried to hire to run point prayed about it and felt the Lord told her a firm no, and so I ultimately declined.
00:33:11.000This is your central foundational lie.
00:33:18.000And Candace immediately responded with a bunch of tweets between her and Charlie Kirk in the last year or so of his life that seem, you know, kind of arm's length, but warm.
00:33:27.000Now, the question is who to believe in all this?
00:33:32.000I don't care very much about the interpersonal workings of the Charlie Kirk relationship with Candace Owens or the Andrew Colbert relationship with Charlie Kirk or Candace Owens or any of the rest.
00:33:43.000I think that the facts suggest that Andrew is telling the truth and Candace is not.
00:33:46.000Also, because Candace makes a habit of saying things that are untrue.
00:34:04.000Where we are right now is that it has become sport to mock the widow of a person who was murdered and to claim that his organization was complicit in the murder and the cover up.
00:34:14.000That is the thing that Candace has done.
00:34:24.000Because once Charlie is murdered and you start attacking his widow and his organization and everybody surrounding him and trying to acquit the person who actually murdered him, once you do that, you are engaging in evil.
00:34:39.000And when you are doing that, in order to, again, boost your likes and boost your clicks and spread conspiracy theories about the way the world works, deep networks, Of evil conspirators who can reach out and tap Charlie Kirk in the neck and kill him without being detected with cover up artists in the federal government and all the like, you are promoting evil conspiratorial trash that rots brains.
00:35:01.000So I want to take just a second and debunk some of this.
00:35:03.000I know, it sounds wild because I've stacked up all the things she's been saying over the course of the last 10 months.
00:35:14.000She again is essentially relating what the radio has told her in her dreams at night, what the spirits have said to her, and she's pretending this is evidence.
00:35:27.000But we'll take one brief second and debunk some of the claims.
00:35:29.000And the reason we'll do this is because maybe, maybe there are some listeners.
00:35:33.000Who actually thinks that she has researched any of this or that she knows what the hell she's talking about, and she clearly does not, nor does she care.
00:35:41.000I'm under no impression, by the way, that the people who are deeply ensconced in this sort of conspiracy theory will be persuaded by the recitation of actual facts.
00:35:49.000Because again, that's not Candace's purpose.
00:35:50.000Candace's purpose, as we'll get to, is to generate smoke, enormous amounts of smoke, fake smoke, in order for you to believe that there's fire, in order to implicate broad evil systems that she doesn't like, and all the people she doesn't like are implicated in the same system.0.92
00:36:04.000Everyone she doesn't like, they're all implicated.
00:36:06.000In this murder, they're all implicated in an evil system of control.0.99
00:36:15.000But I'll take just a moment for those who maybe in good faith have heard clips or little questions about Candace's theories.
00:36:23.000And we'll talk about what actually happened here.0.86
00:36:25.000So, number one, she has claimed that Erica orchestrated or assisted in Charlie's assassination, possibly to seize control of TPUSA or hide other misconduct that has been peddled by Candace Owens, also by professional derelict Milo Yiannopoulos.0.79
00:36:40.000There are variations that include Erica's rings signaling secret society membership.
00:36:49.000The vast majority of this crap is just people reviewing in detail tape of Erica and saying she's not crying at the appropriate place or smiling at the appropriate place, that her pants are too tight or that she is wearing white clothing when she should be wearing black.
00:37:08.000The reality is that for those who saw Erica in the days after Charlie's death, she was devastated.
00:37:14.000I mean, I know because I saw her the Monday after Charlie's death.
00:37:17.000But you don't have to take my word for it.
00:37:19.000Stacey Sheridan, TPUSA's senior director for advancement, was right there by Erica's side after Charlie's death.
00:37:27.000If the conspiracists ask why Erica's family and friends weren't worth her, the truth is that Erica was joined by family, close friends, staff, and pastors at Charlie's funeral, his public memorial, and every single public event.
00:37:38.000There is one so called eyewitness named Mitch Snow.
00:37:41.000He's a retired Army sergeant who appeared on Candace's show.
00:37:44.000And said that he was 95% sure that he saw Charlie's former security chief, Brian Harpole, and Erica Kirk at a military base a day before Charlie's assassination.
00:37:53.000He has multiple anti harassment orders against him, including for domestic issues as recently as 2023.
00:37:58.000And Harpole can show he was in Dallas at the time.
00:38:01.000And then people were trying to make fun of Erica or impute evil motive to her because she posted a video of her grieving next to Charlie's open coffin.
00:38:14.000Ring that she wears is a Freemason ring because it has the letter G on it.
00:38:17.000But the G is most likely a G for her daughter Gigi.
00:38:22.000Okay, other claims that Candace has made that Erica and TPUSA executives had ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
00:38:29.000Again, this is the all purpose conspiracy theory for the woke right and the woke left.
00:38:33.000Jeffrey Epstein as master string puller, past his death, years past his death, to the death of Charlie Kirk.
00:38:39.000And that Charlie was actually assassinated to prevent him from exposing some sort of human trafficking ring.
00:38:44.000Candace circulated a conspiracy about Erica participating in child trafficking out of Romania.
00:38:50.000By the way, when it comes to actual alleged sex traffickers out of Romania, like Andrew Tate, Candace is totally on board.
00:38:56.000When it comes to Erica Kirk, she's just making up.
00:39:00.000The theory alleges that Arizona properties near the US Mexico border were used for trafficking schemes, and TPUSA adjacent people have ties to those properties.
00:39:09.000Again, this is a totally unrelated homicide case having nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:39:12.000There is no counted zero evidence establishing links between Erica, Charlie, TPUSA, or Jeffrey Epstein.
00:39:20.000There is a real ice case about a Phoenix property that was used for human trafficking from 2014, but there's no evidence tying that whatsoever to either TPUSA or anyone in its orbit.
00:39:32.000So basically, she found an address near another address from years before.
00:39:39.000Apparently, she says that there is a connection between Erika and Eastern Europe because she called her grandparents Morfar and Farfar, which are terms of endearment in Sweden because Erika is of Swedish descent.
00:39:52.000Erika also worked for a Christian charity for orphans that did some work in Romania before, and the charity once worked with somebody who was accused of abusing minors.
00:39:59.000So you string all that together, and somehow she arrives at.
00:40:02.000Somehow, magically, Erica was a sex trafficker.
00:40:05.000Okay, then the claim that, of course, has gone most viral because on the internet, anything that mentions Jews or Israel goes most viral.
00:40:11.000And this is that Mossad ordered a hit on Charlie Kirk because he was planning to abandon the pro Israel cause.
00:40:17.000Pretty much every conspiracy theorist has embraced this theory.
00:40:22.000Candace specifically took a Max Blumenthal, who is a lying piece of crap, originated story on Bill Ackman and a Hampton's meeting where Charlie was being forced to be pro Israel in exchange for money allegedly.
00:40:34.000That is not what happened at the meeting.
00:40:36.000I know a bunch of people who went to that meeting, like a lot of people who went to that meeting.
00:40:43.000If I were going to theorize about what exactly this meeting was, my guess is what the meeting was designed to do was to impress Bill Ackman as a potential donor with the fact that Charlie was taking questions about Israel seriously.
00:40:55.000In any case, there was this influencer gathering in August of 2025 and included topics like the economic future of America, the cultural landscape of dating and marriage, the convergence of East and West.0.91
00:41:06.000And Mom Dhani, the new threat to America.0.83
00:41:08.000There are people who are both pro Israel and pretty anti Israel.0.95
00:41:12.000Charlie Kirk, Bill Ackman corresponded on a bunch of topics thereafter, including launching more open mic events on campus and all of the rest.
00:41:20.000And then there is Candace's theory that there were two Egyptian Air Force planes that overlapped with Erica's locations over several years and were present near Provo Airport on the day of Charlie's assassination.
00:41:30.000And this was proof of some sort of foreign military plot to kill Charlie.0.55
00:41:37.000Candace doesn't understand time zones.0.98
00:41:39.000Literally does not understand time zones.
00:41:41.000There is no evidence any planes have ever tracked Erica Kirk.
00:41:46.000Erica offered her flight logs publicly.
00:41:50.000Liz Wheeler has a full episode debunking this nonsense.
00:41:54.000And she found that Candace's definition of overlapping planes included Egyptian planes landing within 100 miles of Erica and three days before to three days after Erica got there.
00:42:04.000Okay, next crazy theory a federal cover up.
00:42:07.000So the idea here is that Tyler Robinson didn't kill Charlie Kirk by himself, that the FBI scripted the text messages.
00:42:13.000And created a deeper plot, a deep state plot to cover all of this up because the text messages are neat and stilted.
00:42:21.000And it can't just be that you have a trans person and a gay loving furry who are tweeting, who are texting each other in stilted, weird fashion because they're stilted, weird people.
00:42:31.000No, it must be that the FBI is covering it up.
00:42:35.000Megyn Kelly once pressed Kash Patel on the fake sounding text, and Kash Patel stood by everything in the charging documents as authentic.
00:42:43.000And by the way, the texts are not the only evidence.
00:42:45.000There's DNA, video, his parents' recognition, and Robinson surrendering to the cops, surrendering.
00:42:53.000There are a bunch of claims about forensic anomalies, all of which are false.
00:42:58.000They say that there was no ambulance at the ready, no hospital footage of Charlie arriving, and they say they did not give Charlie CPR.
00:43:05.000Number one, HIPAA and privacy laws block public release of hospital video.
00:43:09.000Second, there are visual timelines that show Charlie's body being carried to a vehicle within minutes of being shot.
00:43:13.000Apparently, he was still alive at the time.
00:43:15.000Again, I know that only because my security was talking to his security in the car.
00:43:22.000For active shooter scenarios, because you don't want to leave somebody's prone body out there when there's an active shooter who's still shooting people.
00:43:28.000And as far as the CPR claim, you may have noticed he was shot in the neck and was bleeding out.
00:43:33.000CPR doesn't help you if you are shot in the neck and bleeding out.
00:43:37.000There's a claim that there is no massive exit wound from the bolt action rifle bullet.
00:43:42.000Well, an ATF report confirmed that a.30 caliber class deformed damaged bullet jacket fragment and four lead fragments were recovered in Charlie's autopsy.
00:43:51.000Damaged fragments can share class characteristics with Robinson's rifle that can't be linked back to any gun because, again, they are fragments.
00:43:57.000Then there's the claim that Charlie was killed by his microphone exploding.
00:44:02.000Consumer grade video runs at a certain number of frames per second that can blur cause and effect when you play them in extreme slow mo.
00:44:10.000The ATF and FBI filings don't note any explosive residue, shrapnel from a device, or burns consistent with a detonation.
00:44:16.000And of course, the autopsy shows he died of a bullet wound.
00:44:19.000And then they claim that UVU paved over a courtyard where Charlie was killed and then installed pavers or something that supposedly hid a trap door, like a magic trap door.
00:45:05.000And this is always Candace's shtick, always in fright.
00:45:07.000It also happened to be Tucker's shtick and the rest of the conspiracy woke right.
00:45:10.000The goal is to create a miasma of suspicion around an event in order to undermine trust in systems and foster a belief that the conspiratorial leader is the only one who's telling you the truth.
00:45:24.000So in this particular case, the goal is to create a bunch of smoke and nonsense, a bunch of distraction around Charlie's murder and around Erica.
00:45:33.000Because again, the idea here is to try to show that Erica is.
00:45:39.000A joke or nefarious or an assassin, and turn Charlie's assassination into, again, a call for conspiratorial thinking that implicates everything from our allies to the federal government, everything from close friends of Charlie's to his widow.0.81
00:45:55.000Candace is, I don't think Candace is stupid.
00:45:57.000I think Candace has a unique capacity to convince herself that anything she is saying at the time is a thing she believes.
00:46:06.000It also means that she's a sociopath.0.96
00:46:09.000But do I think that Candace Owens, deep down, In her rational brain, whatever is left of it, believes that Erica is complicit in Charlie's murder?
00:46:19.000I think that she does this because she is a sadist and she enjoys watching Erica and TPUSA and everyone else sane try to fend off her insane accusations day after day.
00:46:26.000I think she enjoys watching episodes like this one and thinking, hey, look, Shapiro's spending all day on me.
00:46:31.000He's spending all day fending off these insane accusations.
00:46:34.000And again, on a broader societal level, the goal is to essentially destroy anyone who stands in the way of Candace Owens's aspirations.
00:46:44.000And if Candace Owens can somehow craft a narrative along with friends like Tucker Carlson or people who cover her for her, like Megan Kelly or whomever, if they can craft these magical narratives where Erica Kirk is the villain, again, you have to understand how crazy this is.
00:46:56.000This is legitimately like if there was a movement after MLK's assassination to somehow go after Coretta Scott King or after JFK's assassination to go after Jackie O.
00:47:07.000It's hard to find an equivalent because an equivalent doesn't exist.0.72
00:47:29.000I mean, when comedian Drewski is making fun of Erica Kerr, and this is popular, and this is good, and this is considered like a normal punchline now.
00:47:39.000Again, this is not mocking an assassination, because again, we have lots of assassination jokes.
00:47:42.000It is mocking the widow of the person who was assassinated.
00:49:15.000So, there is an institute called the National Contagion Research Institute, and they sort of investigate online trends and try to figure out how certain things percolate on the internet.
00:49:25.000They just released a report, July 2026, titled How Candace Owens Built a Digital Assassination Culture Targeting Erica Kirk.
00:49:35.000Because X is where this stuff spreads most virally, targeting Erica between Charlie's assassination in September 2025 and June of 2026.
00:49:44.000Of the 712,559 posts on X referencing Erica that NCRI collected and analyzed, 1,034 contained explicit threats or incitement directed at Erica.
00:49:55.000NCRI found they reviewed about half of those explicit threat posts, and they found that 82.7% were genuine threats or incitement, and that Candace Owens was referenced in 9.2% of the posts.
00:50:08.000Her mention rate in explicit threat posts rose from 1% in September to 14.4% in December to 15.8% in February, coinciding with the launch of that Bride of Charlie docuseries.
00:50:18.000Owens herself has made 412 posts mentioning Erica Kirk, Charlie Kirk, or TPUSA in that same period.
00:50:23.000130 of those posts are Erica specific.
00:50:27.000And NCRI found that Owens' Erica targeting posts on a given day predicted elevated threat volume two days later, a statistically unlikely pattern.
00:50:38.000One of the 10 highest volume accounts.
00:50:40.000Generating Erica Kirk related content was one called Adam E Media, which references Owens in 26.2% of his posts.
00:50:48.000This is a pro Russia fake MAGA node, this particular account.
00:50:53.000So, again, Erica has not been able to do public events.0.99
00:50:56.000Obviously, the outsized hatred and mockery of Erica is being generated somewhere, and we know where that is coming from.1.00
00:51:38.000That is what conservatism is rooted in in a free country like the United States.
00:51:42.000But if you sell people, A bag of goods that says that everything around you is a manipulated system, that you live in the matrix, that everything around you is a manipulated system.
00:51:52.000All your failures are the result of deeply embedded evil systems that can get away with anything from assassination to child sex trafficking.
00:52:00.000And you can't even see the evidence because the cover up is that good.
00:52:03.000If you start to believe that, you will not just ruin your life, you'll ruin the country.0.99
00:52:07.000See, here's the thing watching Candace Owens do this shtick is not just a matter of watching some trash TV while you're bored at the office.0.99
00:52:16.000It's not watching Jerry Springer or Ricky Lake or something.
00:52:19.000For conservatives, this is a matter of whether your mind will be captured by a theory of the world that suggests, again, you are not in control of your own life, that you need some sort of wizard like figure to guide you through the political spirit world.
00:52:31.000That there is no truth that you can discover except if you are guided there by somebody with dreams who knows that everything you don't like is the result of systems designed to harm you and your family.
00:53:10.000Stop pretending that you're subscribing to ideological pornography just because it's entertaining.
00:53:13.000It's soul destroying, not just for Erica Kirk or her children or the people at TPUSA, but for you and then for the country.
00:53:22.000Now, people who are trying to destroy the country and the soul of the country, the left obviously wants to do this.
00:53:27.000By the way, an ineffective right, a right that succumbs to this sort of conspiratorial nonsense at the highest levels, and again, it has percolated up to the highest levels.
00:53:36.000Of the Republican Party, people who engage in this sort of conspiratorial, anti thinking trash.
00:53:43.000A conservative movement that destroys itself is not capable of facing down a left wing movement that is ascendant right now.
00:53:48.000And the America haters are on the move.
00:53:50.000What an amazing video you just watched.
