EXCLUSIVE: Leaked TPUSA Audio | Candace EP 296

[00:00:00] All right, you guys. Happy Tuesday. I [00:00:02] survived the ice storm. I'm sorry that [00:00:05] we were down yesterday. We had no [00:00:06] internet, but we are going to make up [00:00:08] for it with a show this Friday. Anyway, [00:00:11] what do I have for you today? You guys [00:00:12] already know that many people are upset [00:00:15] with me. And by many people, I mean the [00:00:17] mainstream media and all their cronies. [00:00:19] They're upset for a lot of reasons. Uh, [00:00:21] foremost, because I mentioned the idea [00:00:23] that Charlie's life may have been the [00:00:26] Truman Show. How dare I? Well, it's [00:00:28] about to get a little more weird when I [00:00:30] tell you something else that we have [00:00:32] learned about the origins of the X-Men [00:00:34] X-Men school that he went to in his [00:00:36] youth. I probably should have named the [00:00:38] thumbnail X-Men origins missed [00:00:40] opportunity. Also, we have and they are [00:00:43] uh seemingly very upset that we are [00:00:45] going to share with you this conference [00:00:46] call that I promised you. Erica [00:00:49] installed as the new CEO and chairman. [00:00:51] She headed up this conference call about [00:00:54] 12 days after Charlie was assassinated, [00:00:57] just after the memorial event. And I'm [00:01:00] going to allow you guys to listen to it [00:01:02] to see how you feel about it because I [00:01:05] definitely feel a thing about it. What [00:01:08] that thing is, I don't know. Welcome [00:01:11] back to Candace [00:01:27] Okay, before we dive in, a quick thank [00:01:28] you to Nimi Skincare for supporting the [00:01:30] show. New year, new skin, same values. I [00:01:33] appreciate that Nimi focuses on quality, [00:01:35] simplicity, and skincare that's made [00:01:37] right here in the USA without chasing [00:01:40] trends. You can visit Nimi skincare and [00:01:42] imi skincare.com today. Okay, so last [00:01:46] week I said to you guys that in the near [00:01:50] future we are going to do a maybe two [00:01:54] episodes, could be a three-part series [00:01:57] on Erica Kirk's past. Few people online [00:02:00] were very upset about that instantly. [00:02:02] Oh, how dare you? How could you look [00:02:06] into anything involving Erica Kirk? Uh, [00:02:09] let me explain to you guys what's [00:02:11] happening here. You're probably [00:02:12] wondering what it is that we are doing. [00:02:14] So, I'm old. I'm 36 years old. Uh, back [00:02:18] in my day, there used to be this thing [00:02:20] known as journalism. Basic journalism. [00:02:23] It existed. I know it seems very far [00:02:26] off, but it would be considered probably [00:02:30] back in my day literal insanity to allow [00:02:33] someone to take over the reigns of an [00:02:36] organization that quite literally relies [00:02:38] on the goodwill of the public. It's a [00:02:40] charitable organization which happened [00:02:42] to have raised over a quarter of a [00:02:46] billion dollars following the [00:02:49] assassination of its founder [00:02:52] and then apparently nobody's interested [00:02:55] in in doing a basic profile piece on the [00:02:58] new chairman and CEO that took over. [00:03:00] Like that's that that's actually that [00:03:03] makes no sense. And so that's what we [00:03:05] are committing ourselves to. We are [00:03:07] doing a couple of episodes to separate [00:03:09] fact from fiction when it comes to the [00:03:12] background of Erica Kirk because the [00:03:14] public deserves to know and like I said [00:03:16] it's basic journalism. This entire idea [00:03:21] that well Charlie wanted this [00:03:24] that just would fly probably actually [00:03:26] nowhere in the world not even in the old [00:03:28] world not even under monarchy rule in [00:03:31] the 11th century in England would that [00:03:34] work. You can't just say, "Oh, well that [00:03:36] was his MS. That was his queen consort." [00:03:39] And hand her a kingdom. Even under that [00:03:41] model, it would be Charlie's son that [00:03:44] would inherit Turning Point USA. So, [00:03:46] stop doing that. Stop saying that. [00:03:47] Doesn't make any sense. The public is [00:03:49] not biting. I am not biting. And to be [00:03:52] clear, the more time that goes on, the [00:03:54] more that we are seeing the general [00:03:56] direction that this company is taking [00:03:59] under her stewardship, uh, the less [00:04:01] we're liking. The general public doesn't [00:04:03] like it. I don't like it and especially [00:04:05] the recent bout of paranoia where we had [00:04:08] a bunch of employees who factually [00:04:11] worked 20our days. This that fact by the [00:04:15] way you are about to hear Erica confirm [00:04:16] herself. Those employees were then fired [00:04:19] without even being given a clear reason [00:04:22] as to why. Just got to go going in a [00:04:25] different direction. That doesn't [00:04:26] exactly match what we were told uh as [00:04:29] the public. We were told that they're a [00:04:32] family. How dare anybody question [00:04:34] anybody ever in the family followed [00:04:38] immediately almost seemingly in the new [00:04:40] year by get out. We're just moving a [00:04:43] different direction. Knock knock knock. [00:04:44] We're at your door. You're fired [00:04:46] [laughter] and you better hand me your [00:04:48] computer or else. We just want to know [00:04:50] what happened here. Anyway, being a [00:04:53] 501c3 company, being a charity, making [00:04:57] becoming a charitable organization makes [00:04:59] you of course accountable to the public [00:05:01] always. They are allowed to ask [00:05:02] questions even if you want to send out a [00:05:04] bunch of cease and desist letters. And [00:05:07] thanks to this recent string of [00:05:10] misguided firings, that's putting it [00:05:11] mildly, we did happen to get our hands [00:05:15] on an audio recording of a corporatewide [00:05:18] Zoom call which took place pretty [00:05:21] immediately following Charlie's [00:05:22] memorial. So for clarity, this call took [00:05:25] took place on Monday, uh, September [00:05:28] 22nd. So this is 11 days [00:05:34] less than two weeks after her husband [00:05:35] was publicly assassinated in front of [00:05:37] the entire world. It's important to [00:05:38] remember that it's also less than 48 [00:05:41] hours about 48 hours after his uh [00:05:44] private Catholic funeral mass which the [00:05:48] public was not privy to. Um but top [00:05:51] paying donors were that's also odd. [00:05:53] We'll save that for another day. I just [00:05:55] think that you should know that. I want [00:05:57] to plug that into our master timeline, [00:06:00] which I know I keep promising you I'm [00:06:01] going to publish. I will. Uh, so we know [00:06:04] on September 10th, Charlie is [00:06:06] assassinated. This is bottom of the [00:06:08] timeline. Uh, on the 18th, this, by the [00:06:12] way, strikes me as odd in the [00:06:14] retrospect. As I was working on these [00:06:16] couple of episodes about Erica, [00:06:18] on the 18th, just 8 days after the [00:06:20] assassination, she gave an inperson [00:06:23] interview with the New York Times at her [00:06:27] and Charlie's condo. [00:06:30] Okay. Now, regarding the New York Times [00:06:33] profile piece, I was totally in a cloud [00:06:37] of grief by myself when all of that went [00:06:39] down. Okay. You remember I had to go [00:06:41] away to Wyoming just to breathe. [00:06:44] um to process to get closer to accepting [00:06:49] that it was real. I I went away for two [00:06:51] weeks. I didn't I didn't really catch [00:06:54] the fact that it was an inperson meeting [00:06:58] until later. 8 days after his public [00:07:00] assassination, she sits down for a piece [00:07:04] with the publication that hated Charlie [00:07:06] the entire time he was alive. New York [00:07:07] Times was constantly writing pieces [00:07:09] about Charlie Kirk or pieces that just [00:07:10] were not kind or favorable to Charlie [00:07:12] Kirk. So, it's an interesting decision [00:07:15] and reading the article or rereading [00:07:17] because somebody said you should [00:07:18] actually go back and revisit everything [00:07:20] that transpired in the days after and [00:07:22] you kind of have new eyes and that's [00:07:24] very true. But in reading that article [00:07:26] in retrospect, something that I am [00:07:29] particularly struck by is the fact that [00:07:32] she describes suddenly being forced into [00:07:36] the single mother position as the quote [00:07:40] unquote least traumatizing thing. [00:07:45] Becoming a single mother suddenly eight [00:07:47] days later, she describes that as the [00:07:49] least traumatizing thing. Again, that's [00:07:51] an exact quotation. I I'll read it. You [00:07:53] can see it. Uh she's they're going into [00:07:56] this they're speaking about Trump's [00:07:58] energy and his tone toward her on phone [00:08:00] calls and it reads quote from her. The [00:08:03] president's tone she said was soft and [00:08:06] embracing. I could tell he wanted to hug [00:08:09] me. Others have responded in the same [00:08:12] manner to Ms. Kirk, now left to care for [00:08:14] a three-year-old daughter and a [00:08:16] one-year-old son. That new life, Miss [00:08:18] Kirk said, quote, is actually the least [00:08:22] traumatizing thing for me since she [00:08:25] herself has been raised by her mother [00:08:27] after their parents divorced when she [00:08:29] was young. [00:08:32] And we're just supposed to pretend that [00:08:34] that's completely normal or whatever. I [00:08:36] I would figure maybe the least [00:08:37] traumatizing bit would be something more [00:08:39] mundane. Maybe along the lines, if this [00:08:42] was a thing, if Charlie constantly [00:08:43] filled up her gas tank and someone was [00:08:45] like, "Well, who's going to fill up your [00:08:46] gas tank?" She might reply, "That's [00:08:48] actually the least traumatizing thing. I [00:08:49] don't even care about that. That's just [00:08:51] me filling up my car." That would be [00:08:54] like the least traumatizing thing. [00:08:55] Becoming a single mother after your [00:08:57] husband is horrifically assassinated. [00:08:59] realizing that your children are going [00:09:00] to grow up without a father. A father [00:09:01] who tooured the world and spoke about [00:09:04] the importance of fatherhood and relayed [00:09:07] the statistics pertaining to the youth [00:09:08] that grow up uh without their fathers in [00:09:11] the home. I would describe that as very [00:09:14] traumatizing. I think across the board [00:09:16] that's a traumatizing thing, not the [00:09:18] least traumatizing thing by any stretch [00:09:20] of an imagination. Anyway, we are now in [00:09:24] season 7, episode 4 of Everybody [00:09:26] Grieavves Differently. But that's weird. [00:09:30] Now, getting to this corporate call [00:09:31] again. Can we just go back uh if you [00:09:33] want to throw in that that uh schedule [00:09:35] again? Sorry. The uh Yeah. Okay, great. [00:09:38] So, we have this on the 10th. He's [00:09:40] assassinated. On the 18th is that [00:09:41] inerson interview with New York Times. [00:09:43] On the 20th, we have the funeral mass [00:09:47] which is held at a church at 11:00 a.m. [00:09:50] On the 21st is the public memorial event [00:09:53] that is held at State Farm Stadium. And [00:09:55] on the 22nd, which I had not mentioned [00:09:57] before, I've been building this timeline [00:09:58] in the background. There's a private [00:10:00] dinner. Not going to mention what [00:10:02] restaurant it's at, but the McCoys are [00:10:04] there. Elizabeth, Mikey, Erica, uh, and [00:10:07] they're in joyous spirits is exactly [00:10:11] what the email said of someone who was [00:10:12] there. They were in joyous spirits. [00:10:16] Okay. Just want to get that. [00:10:19] I think a lot of this uh when you hear [00:10:22] this call um that I'm about to play for [00:10:24] you, I again I'm not trying to color [00:10:28] your opinion, but I am going to give you [00:10:29] mine because it's my podcast. I'm [00:10:30] allowed to do it. I do want to remind [00:10:32] you that Charlie has not been dead for [00:10:34] two weeks. That's where we have to go [00:10:36] back to two not even two weeks after [00:10:40] Charlie was publicly assassinated. not a [00:10:42] normal. He didn't um we had to watch [00:10:45] this. We had to to visually watch this. [00:10:48] Now, the entirety of this call, which [00:10:49] we're not going to play, is 15 minutes [00:10:51] long. I'm going to figure out how to [00:10:52] just drop it on my X feed. Uh but I want [00:10:56] to make sure that we properly and fairly [00:10:58] contextualize it. So, we're not being [00:11:00] choosy. We're not cutting this for [00:11:01] drama. The obvious point of this call to [00:11:04] set this up is to introduce Erica. She's [00:11:08] the she's a new leader. Not even [00:11:09] introducing. She's just heading up this [00:11:10] call. But obviously she's going to be [00:11:11] the at the helm of this. So they're [00:11:13] getting to know her and she does begin [00:11:15] the call by being thankful to the entire [00:11:17] Turning Point USA team for their work at [00:11:20] the memorial event. So let's take a [00:11:23] listen. [00:11:24] >> Hi everybody. I still love all these [00:11:27] emoji Zoom [laughter] [00:11:30] things. Um wow. [00:11:34] I don't even know where to begin. The [00:11:36] fact that we were able to pull off [00:11:40] an event [00:11:42] of a century, like it's just insane. We [00:11:45] had over 275,000 [00:11:48] people that attended and [00:11:53] stadium overflow, [00:11:56] Westgate. [00:11:57] Insane, you guys. And then you have was [00:12:01] it 100 million over [00:12:06] you guys that heard the gospel and all [00:12:09] about Charlie and all about everything [00:12:12] that you guys do and the hard work of [00:12:14] Turning Point USA is insane. We had [00:12:16] thousands that were registered to vote. [00:12:19] I think we're at like over 200,000 for [00:12:23] merch sales. Don't quote me on that [00:12:25] because I think it just keeps like [00:12:26] bumping up like crazy. But I just wanted [00:12:28] to say a huge, huge, huge thank you to [00:12:31] the events team, the development team, [00:12:34] the graphic design team, the production [00:12:36] team, just phenomenal. Their incredible [00:12:39] work um leading into the memorial. [00:12:42] Um and honestly, a lot of this the staff [00:12:44] that worked on the memorial, they had [00:12:48] 20our days for a week during the time of [00:12:50] us grieving the loss of my husband. And [00:12:53] honestly, I know several staff that [00:12:56] didn't even sleep. Um, again, you guys [00:12:59] are [00:13:01] breathing angels, and I'm so grateful [00:13:04] for all of you. And obviously, a huge [00:13:06] thank you to the Mosaic team, VI. You [00:13:09] guys are 10 out of 10. Like, there's we [00:13:12] have the most incredible team. We just [00:13:15] do. And you guys know that and you guys [00:13:18] are all a part of that. And I am so so [00:13:20] thankful. Um, and if you do have a [00:13:23] moment and you run into any of those [00:13:24] staff members that you know that you [00:13:26] know had a role in this and you know um [00:13:32] that they put a lot of their time and [00:13:35] effort into it, just say thank you. [00:13:37] There's something really special um to [00:13:39] be seen um in moments like this and it's [00:13:43] not easy. I'm speaking from experience. [00:13:46] I'm right in the trenches with you guys. [00:13:48] Um, and so the fact that you just a [00:13:50] simple thank you. I don't care if any of [00:13:53] you have beef with each other from the [00:13:55] past or have any issues with [00:13:59] someone said something about this or [00:14:00] that. Like, if you guys have any of [00:14:02] that, please put it to rest. My [00:14:04] husband's dead. Like, I'm not trying to [00:14:05] be morbid, but he's dead. And it puts [00:14:08] life into perspective of how short life [00:14:10] is and relationships. And God puts [00:14:13] people in your life for a reason. And it [00:14:14] teaches you a lesson. It teaches them a [00:14:16] lesson. So if you are going through a [00:14:17] time where [00:14:19] just lay it to rest and we are moving [00:14:22] forward turning point USA 2.0 with [00:14:25] Charlie in our hearts and that's what he [00:14:27] would want. [00:14:29] >> Okay. So I'm just looking at the chat [00:14:32] here and you guys are responding live in [00:14:35] the way that I felt live listening to [00:14:38] this. It is the general tone that is [00:14:41] offputting. It's the laughter that is [00:14:43] offputting. It's again, we are not even [00:14:45] 2 weeks after watching your husband be [00:14:47] assassinated. We're talking about [00:14:49] numbers and metrics that have been hit. [00:14:52] And my husband's dead. Not to be morbid. [00:14:54] That is a sentence that I and this was [00:14:57] not my husband and I had no sort of the [00:15:01] type of relationship that she had with [00:15:02] him that I was able to utter. Last of [00:15:05] all, I mean, that's moving pretty [00:15:07] quickly to the acceptance phase. Now, we [00:15:11] know everybody grieavves differently. In [00:15:14] my imagination, [00:15:16] I don't I just thought she would be more [00:15:21] upset. And I want to be clear, the [00:15:24] overall mood of this call is [00:15:26] extraordinarily upbeat. It's [00:15:28] extraordinarily happy. But of course, as [00:15:30] the CEO and chairman, she does have to [00:15:32] address the elephant in the room, the [00:15:34] morbid uh elephant in the room, if you [00:15:37] will, because it's an obligation. and [00:15:39] you have a new CEO. The employees are [00:15:41] working 20our days, but also their [00:15:44] founder Charlie was publicly [00:15:45] assassinated less than two weeks ago. [00:15:47] You got to address that. And you're [00:15:48] going to hear her address that by [00:15:51] recapping to them that throughout these [00:15:53] long working days, the employees were [00:15:55] provided with ample resources while they [00:15:59] were working. [00:16:01] Take a listen. I'm just grateful that [00:16:06] while things were still in motion and [00:16:10] moving around that we had our leadership [00:16:14] teams provide for you, [00:16:17] counselors, [00:16:18] pastors. I heard there were therapy [00:16:21] dogs. Slightly jealous that I didn't get [00:16:23] to have any a moment with a therapy dog. [00:16:27] Um, breakfast. I was I was really [00:16:29] adamant about making sure that we paid [00:16:31] for your flights for your spouses to be [00:16:33] there. That was something on my heart. [00:16:35] Um [00:16:37] you don't want to grieve alone. No one's [00:16:39] supposed to grieve alone. It's not [00:16:41] healthy. Um but I just think it's a [00:16:44] beautiful honor that all all of these [00:16:47] benefits were made for the community to [00:16:50] grieve and remember Charlie. Um, and I [00:16:52] really hope you took advantage of those [00:16:54] in a healthy way when they were provided [00:16:57] because it's meant to be for everyone [00:16:59] for healing. Grief comes in waves. Um, [00:17:03] you know, some days are going to be [00:17:04] tougher than others, but [00:17:07] you know, take it as it comes. And [00:17:10] that's why you have your turning point [00:17:11] family and just lean on them and lean on [00:17:15] other people in your life that you know [00:17:17] will help you and pour into you and pray [00:17:19] with you to get you through it. Um, I [00:17:22] say that though that if you do need more [00:17:25] time to grieve, [00:17:27] um, please continue to use um, Turning [00:17:31] Point USA's network of counselors. Um, [00:17:34] we have pastors. I mean, there are so [00:17:36] many resources for you. If you do need [00:17:39] additional time off, um, please talk to [00:17:42] your director [00:17:44] um, about using paid time off uh, for [00:17:47] that. Um and again it's not not easy but [00:17:55] again grief is hard. Um otherwise [00:18:00] honestly uh Turning Point USA and [00:18:01] Turning Point Action [00:18:05] will steam ahead you guys. We have [00:18:07] Charlie would want us to get back to [00:18:09] work and that's what we're doing and [00:18:10] that's what we did with the memorial and [00:18:12] I'm so honored and proud of each and [00:18:13] every one of you because that's what [00:18:14] we're going to do in his honor and in [00:18:16] his name. We have [00:18:19] so much to [clears throat] do which is [00:18:21] exciting. U Charlie in heaven is like [00:18:26] you guys thought you had a busy schedule [00:18:28] then just you wait and he's doing some [00:18:31] awesome things with Jesus in heaven [00:18:33] right now but there's so much work to be [00:18:35] done. I mean, since his assassination, [00:18:39] uh, we have 100,000 [00:18:42] chapter 100,000 chapter requests. Uh, we [00:18:45] have 300,000 new donors. [00:18:49] That is a blessing in itself. Um, [00:18:54] again, not normal. Oh, God. Um, I think [00:18:58] we have 50,000 plus hat orders to [00:19:02] fulfill. I mean, I'm saying these [00:19:03] numbers because it puts into perspective [00:19:06] that we're not just sitting and thinking [00:19:10] and looking at the wall being like, what [00:19:12] do we do like that? There is so much to [00:19:14] do. You have over 20,000 Afest [00:19:17] registrations. [00:19:20] There's a lot happening there and none [00:19:22] of it is what I would be expecting to [00:19:24] happen there. So basically what the [00:19:26] employees said to me was that they got [00:19:29] onto this call and you know everyone's [00:19:31] exhausted, everyone's been working and [00:19:32] they pull off this massive memorial and [00:19:35] then there's kind of this approach where [00:19:37] it's like well if you guys need paid [00:19:39] time off like Charlie's in heaven [00:19:41] dancing wanting you to work harder. He's [00:19:43] just up there like you better work but [00:19:46] you can use the paid time off that you [00:19:48] have earned by the way if you need to [00:19:51] grieve more. But imagine you're the [00:19:52] employee. You're like, "Okay, well, this [00:19:53] is his wife saying this, so am I weird? [00:19:55] Would I be like, I would be pretty weird [00:19:57] if I needed to take time off and his [00:19:59] wife is saying she's full steam ahead?" [00:20:02] That's that's the mentality they had. [00:20:04] Like, how how are we supposed like are [00:20:06] we weird for wanting to grieve? Is that [00:20:10] not the vibe? How can we take paytime [00:20:13] off when Erica's wife is saying full [00:20:16] steam ahead? It's very strange. It is uh [00:20:20] even kind of using this idea of Charlie [00:20:22] being um in heaven looking down and the [00:20:28] laughter. [00:20:29] I I don't know. I feel like the rest of [00:20:33] you and I feel uncomfortable. And of [00:20:34] course now what we're going to listen to [00:20:36] is her pivot to the future vision [00:20:39] because that's what the bulk of this is [00:20:41] about. And we it's going to consist of [00:20:44] the notebooks that I keep telling you [00:20:45] the public is never going to see. [00:20:47] Apparently, what I gather from this is [00:20:48] that Charlie presented to the staff a [00:20:51] vision for 2025, but Erica is going to [00:20:53] say that there was a vision beyond that [00:20:55] uh all the way to 2030. And there is a [00:20:59] there's a project 2030. [00:21:02] And then she's going to kind of want to [00:21:06] say that she's happy, but then catch [00:21:07] herself realizing that that would be [00:21:09] kind of weird to say that she's happy. [00:21:10] Take a listen. The prophetic mind of my [00:21:13] husband [00:21:16] was that he always planned for the [00:21:19] future. You guys are obviously aware of [00:21:21] like vision 2025, but Charlie was also [00:21:25] working on vision 2030 in the weeks [00:21:28] leading up to September 10th. And that's [00:21:30] and he was working really closely with [00:21:32] Justin. And that's why Justin had been [00:21:34] appointed the role of COO because he was [00:21:39] literally I remember phone calls when [00:21:42] Charlie and I would take our night walks [00:21:44] and it would be 10:00 at night and him [00:21:46] and Justin would just be talking about [00:21:48] the plans. I was aware of the plans. [00:21:52] I have his journals that are aware of [00:21:54] the plans. Like there is no confusion [00:21:58] of what's to come. And I want to give [00:22:01] you guys that reassurance that [00:22:05] it's full seam ahead and the board and I [00:22:09] are working with Justin and the [00:22:11] executive leadership teams to make sure [00:22:13] that all of those plans come into effect [00:22:16] 2030 and beyond. Um, but I again am so [00:22:21] grateful for all of you. I'm so proud of [00:22:23] all of you. Um, [00:22:26] you honor my husband so well. All of you [00:22:29] do. And [00:22:32] it's weird to say I'm excited. I I [00:22:35] really hesitate saying that. It's really [00:22:37] hard for me to say that. It's a really [00:22:40] weird thing to say, but I think it comes [00:22:42] from a space of peace, [00:22:46] knowing that God's [00:22:49] using this and we're humbly witnessing [00:22:53] the gospel in real time. [00:23:00] I don't know what to say. [00:23:03] She doesn't want to say she's happy. I [00:23:04] don't want to say I'm happy, but I where [00:23:07] it comes from. Let me explain the [00:23:08] happiness that I feel. It comes from [00:23:10] peace [00:23:12] because we're witnessing the gospel in [00:23:14] real time. All of that all of this makes [00:23:18] my skin crawl. It genuinely makes my [00:23:20] skin crawl. I'm going to go ahead and [00:23:21] say that. You can go find your [00:23:23] commentator who's going to tell you [00:23:24] everybody griefs differently. Nope. We [00:23:26] are That is less than two weeks after [00:23:27] Charlie was publicly assassinated. [00:23:29] That's that's not that doesn't that [00:23:31] doesn't feel right to me. it doesn't [00:23:32] feel right uh to I would say the [00:23:35] majority of people or that doesn't feel [00:23:38] right uh knowing that they're joyous at [00:23:41] dinners and again this is when people [00:23:44] who did not know Charlie could not stop [00:23:48] crying and were sending me emails who [00:23:49] have never met Charlie who didn't even [00:23:51] know at Turning Point USA was uh because [00:23:54] they watched his assassination could not [00:23:56] stop crying and pull themselves together [00:23:59] that is not the emotion that we're [00:24:00] getting there like I said the entire [00:24:03] call is upbeat [00:24:05] and the portions where we are even [00:24:08] speaking about grief. It it feels like [00:24:10] an obligation like you know we done you [00:24:13] got the dogs and what Charlie wants is [00:24:16] for you to work now and that is that is [00:24:18] how the employees that I have spoken to [00:24:20] who are on that call that's how they [00:24:21] felt. I my assumption, by the way, why [00:24:23] I'm addressing this now is because my [00:24:25] assumption watching um everything that's [00:24:28] gone on, my assumption was that she [00:24:31] really was trying to figure things out. [00:24:32] I I I assumed in the silence, right, she [00:24:35] wasn't doing interviews then. I assumed [00:24:37] she couldn't get out of bed. I assumed [00:24:39] that she couldn't pick her head up. And [00:24:40] I felt that people were being unfair in [00:24:43] judging outfits and in judging uh you [00:24:48] know, whether or not they liked how her [00:24:50] hair was done. I said, "Okay, she's [00:24:51] speaking at the memorial. We expect her [00:24:53] to speak at the memorial event." I felt [00:24:55] the public was being unfair. Now that [00:24:57] we're kind of getting more on the inside [00:24:59] organization, [00:25:00] the now fired employees are telling me [00:25:02] no. It was quite the opposite. She was [00:25:04] in the office every day with Stacy [00:25:07] Sheridan, running around with Stacy [00:25:08] Sheridan, taking phone calls with Stacy [00:25:10] Sheridan. That's like the head of the [00:25:11] fundraising for Turning Point USA. So, [00:25:13] what I had imagined in my head was [00:25:15] happening simply was not. So [00:25:20] something is not right. That's what I [00:25:25] would like to say. That does not that [00:25:26] call the timing the energy of that call [00:25:29] does not feel right to me. This um I [00:25:34] don't know. I don't know. I don't know [00:25:35] what's happening, but I think we are [00:25:37] inching closer to figuring out what's [00:25:40] going on. That's for sure. And we will [00:25:42] have more for you in the coming weeks. [00:25:45] It also led me to another stunning [00:25:47] discovery that we have made in large [00:25:50] part thanks to internet sleuths. There [00:25:53] was a lot of media panicking when we [00:25:56] discussed Project Looking Glass. We [00:25:57] discussed the fact that Charlie was [00:25:59] indeed a gifted child who went to a [00:26:01] literal children's school for the [00:26:03] gifted. I told you guys also that street [00:26:06] lights used to go out when he ran. [00:26:07] There's a whole term for that. [00:26:09] Apparently, a lot of people go through [00:26:10] that. We saw that in the comment [00:26:11] section. Now, what does it all mean? On [00:26:13] my episode, I posited that the military [00:26:16] was keeping its eye on quote unquote [00:26:19] gate children, gifted children, [00:26:21] different by different names, but you [00:26:22] know, terminating it more broadly, [00:26:24] children that go through the gate [00:26:26] program, that Charlie's life may have [00:26:27] therefore been a literal Truman show [00:26:30] once they realized that he was [00:26:31] extraordinarily gifted. [00:26:33] So, let me remind you that when Charlie [00:26:35] was having these visions about his death [00:26:37] back in 2018, he specifically told me [00:26:40] that he knew from the moment that he [00:26:42] began Turning Point USA that he was [00:26:44] going to die young. I'm going to show [00:26:46] reshow you this uh text message again so [00:26:48] you can see it. Literally, he writes, [00:26:50] "Since the beginning of Turning Point [00:26:53] USA, I knew in my gut that I might get [00:26:56] wiped out at any time. I cannot explain [00:26:57] it, but I dream about it all the time. [00:26:59] Like all the time. Not really afraid of [00:27:02] it, but I'm just telling you what I know [00:27:04] to be true. I'm not sure I'm going to [00:27:06] live begins with I'm not sure I'm going [00:27:08] to live to see the end of this [00:27:09] revolution. But interesting what he says [00:27:11] since the beginning of Turning Point [00:27:13] USA. We should probably therefore go [00:27:14] back to the founding story of Turning [00:27:17] Point USA. The story the public knows [00:27:19] and the story that I was told is that [00:27:20] Charlie was this teenager, didn't get [00:27:22] into West Point. Anyway, he's speaking [00:27:25] at a conference where a man named Bill [00:27:30] Montgomery happened to be in attendance. [00:27:32] He has since passed. I've met Bill [00:27:33] Montgomery. He's very kind to me. Um, [00:27:36] and my point in bringing this up is not [00:27:38] to throw any shade on him, but because [00:27:39] I'm now interested in this origin story. [00:27:42] Um, anyways, he's in attendance. He's [00:27:44] absolutely floored uh at at Benedict Dy [00:27:46] University. When Charlie speaks, he [00:27:48] immediately knew that he was sort of [00:27:50] looking at a future president. This is [00:27:52] an article. I think it was done in the [00:27:53] Atlantic back in uh it doesn't matter [00:27:56] what year. Anyways, it reads in the [00:27:58] Atlantic. Montgomery was at Benedictton [00:28:00] University in western Chicago suburb of [00:28:03] Lyall, Illinois for the college's youth [00:28:06] government day in May of 2012. The slate [00:28:09] of speakers put the kids to sleep, he [00:28:14] told the National Journal. But when Kirk [00:28:16] took the floor, the energy in the room [00:28:18] completely changed. The kids weren't [00:28:19] sleeping anymore and their attention was [00:28:21] wrapped on Kirk. Inspired, Montgomery [00:28:24] went up to him after his speech and told [00:28:27] him as only a man 50 years senior can [00:28:30] say that he needed to delay college to [00:28:32] pursue a higher calling. Quote, "I don't [00:28:35] know you," Montgomery recalled saying. [00:28:36] "But you need to start an organization [00:28:39] to reach out to young people with your [00:28:40] message." A month after Montgomery met [00:28:43] Kirk, the duo launched Turning Point [00:28:45] USA. want you to hold on to that phrase, [00:28:47] I don't know you, but [00:28:50] again, that's the same story that I was [00:28:51] told. So, I was a bit surprised to learn [00:28:54] that there may be a larger story here. [00:28:57] Now, Bill Montgomery was Air Force. He's [00:28:59] in the Air Force reserves. Uh, Bill [00:29:01] Montgomery also happened to be from [00:29:04] Lincoln, Nebraska. Get getting into that [00:29:06] one of those Egyptian plane stops. A lot [00:29:08] of these people are tied to Lincoln, [00:29:11] Nebraska that are in this story. Saving [00:29:14] that for another day. Now, not much is [00:29:16] known about what specifically Bill [00:29:18] Montgomery did during his time in the [00:29:20] military, but we do know that he moved [00:29:22] to the Chicago area thereafter, which [00:29:26] obviously in the area where Charlie's [00:29:28] X-Men School was. Uh the X-Men School, I [00:29:30] just like to call it that, was actually [00:29:32] called Creative Children's Academy. It [00:29:35] opened in 1982 for the academically [00:29:37] gifted. Um from preschool up into the [00:29:40] eighth grade. In 1999, it changed its [00:29:42] name officially to Quest Academy. It [00:29:46] tells us uh on its website or I'm sorry, [00:29:48] in a past article that it receives [00:29:50] corporate and private funding from who? [00:29:53] We don't know. What I would like to know [00:29:55] what corporations funded that academy. [00:29:59] What we do know is that it's a stones [00:30:01] throw from Northrup Grumman, the massive [00:30:04] aerospace and defense company that has [00:30:06] extensive federal contracts dating back [00:30:07] to World War II. Just put that fact in [00:30:09] the back of your mind. It may mean [00:30:11] nothing at all, but I just want to say [00:30:12] that because it I it came up when I was [00:30:14] researching the general area in [00:30:16] Palatine, Illinois. Now, the Children's, [00:30:18] like I uh Children's Creative Academy, I [00:30:20] should tell you, was founded by a woman [00:30:22] named Helen Barts. Okay. Her husband is [00:30:26] a Reverend Robert Barts of Arlington [00:30:29] Heights. Helen Barts. Now, a tip that I [00:30:32] received and I was able to confirm is [00:30:34] that Helen Barts was actually good [00:30:36] friends with Bill Montgomery and his [00:30:38] wife Edith Montgomery. Edith Walker [00:30:41] Montgomery. She actually goes by her [00:30:43] last name, Edith Walker. The person [00:30:45] claims that Edith Walker, who I've since [00:30:48] learned immigrated from Germany after [00:30:50] World War II, and I can't really find [00:30:52] much else about her, uh, became a, and [00:30:55] this is correct, an adolescent [00:30:57] psychiatric nurse. So, she was a [00:31:00] psychiatric nurse to the youth and that [00:31:03] she was actually the person that started [00:31:05] the school with Helen Arts and that's [00:31:08] has since virtually been wiped from [00:31:10] public record. But that that's what [00:31:12] you're missing is that these people all [00:31:14] knew each other. The person claims that [00:31:16] Bill and his wife and a certain Robert [00:31:20] Flood who is in Dan Flood's family, this [00:31:23] is what they claim, and I I I have since [00:31:25] found this person, said that they knew [00:31:27] each other since before the school even [00:31:29] got started. They were all working for [00:31:31] this evangelical [00:31:33] uh company, evangelical salesforce known [00:31:36] as the Shackley Corporation. It's still [00:31:38] in existence today. I'm going to give [00:31:40] you a bit of information. The Shackley [00:31:42] Corporation was the first company that [00:31:45] ever created a multivitamin in America. [00:31:47] It grew to be a massive uh basically a [00:31:50] middle- level management corporation [00:31:52] which like I said commanded this [00:31:53] evangelical sales force. Shackley was [00:31:56] basically described as like a religious [00:31:57] fervor that was sweeping the nation for [00:32:00] nutrition. It was started by a man who [00:32:02] preached the gospel of nutrition by our [00:32:04] products but also the gospel um is what [00:32:07] this is really about. And it grew to be [00:32:09] a massive company that engaged in a [00:32:11] 25-year contract with NASA. You're like, [00:32:14] "What?" Yeah. For supplements that they [00:32:16] could take to space. Now, it sounds to [00:32:18] me like some good oldfashioned [00:32:20] government moneyaundering. But sure, if [00:32:22] if you are like Skyler and believe in [00:32:24] the moon landing, sure, maybe you need [00:32:25] some vitamins up there. Now, working off [00:32:27] of this tip, I was indeed, like I said, [00:32:30] able to confirm that Helen Barts. So, [00:32:32] again, to give you these names, Helen [00:32:33] Barts started the school and I confirmed [00:32:35] that she did indeed prior to worked at [00:32:38] Shackley. She actually ran the Shackley [00:32:40] Center in Arlington Heights. I'm having [00:32:42] a lot of trouble, and the reason why I'm [00:32:43] putting this out there is I'm having [00:32:44] trouble learning more about Bill and [00:32:47] Edith. Uh, like I did Bill serve in the [00:32:49] military. Uh, why specifically did he [00:32:51] move Chicago? Where in Germany is Edith [00:32:54] Walker from? who was her first husband [00:32:57] because Walker was clearly not her first [00:32:58] name when she moved here. Uh where [00:33:00] exactly was she a psychiatric adolescent [00:33:04] nurse? Uh again using her full name, [00:33:06] Edith Marie Walker, uh in Arlington [00:33:10] Heights [00:33:12] where Charlie grew up. Did she see [00:33:14] Charlie? Is that a plausibility? I would [00:33:16] say yes. And I know that Charlie told me [00:33:19] the story that they wanted to drug him [00:33:21] when he was a kid, but his mom said no. [00:33:24] My kid's a genius. and instead because [00:33:25] his mother refused, they instead put him [00:33:27] into this special school. Again, this is [00:33:30] investigation, maybe at least nowhere. [00:33:32] But this is sure as hell interesting [00:33:33] enough for me to put it out there. Uh [00:33:35] mostly because the idea that everything [00:33:37] we know about Turning Point's origin [00:33:38] story could also be incorrect is equal [00:33:41] parts terrifying and fascinating. It [00:33:43] would give new meaning to the idea of [00:33:45] his life being the Truman Show. That's I [00:33:47] think that's fair to state that. If you [00:33:49] have any more information, uh please [00:33:51] message us. email, send us an email at [00:33:53] more [email protected]. [00:33:55] Maybe um your research will be better [00:33:57] than mine, but I am particularly [00:33:59] interested in Edith Walker. Um Edith [00:34:03] Walker Montgomery and where she came [00:34:05] from in Germany and who her family is [00:34:07] was all very fascinating and interesting [00:34:10] time in America indeed. Anyway, we'll [00:34:12] take a brief break here before we come [00:34:14] back and give you an update on the [00:34:16] internet sleuththes after I gave you [00:34:18] that message which sure read like a [00:34:21] threat from a Christian Zionist. [00:34:25] All right, you guys. Nimi skincare is [00:34:26] why I rarely if ever switch my skincare [00:34:28] routine around. There's a lot of [00:34:30] pressure, especially at the start of a [00:34:31] new year, to constantly change things, [00:34:33] new habits, new products, new routines, [00:34:35] and that pressure shows up everywhere, [00:34:36] including skinincare. But in my [00:34:39] experience, the things that actually [00:34:40] work long term are the things that you [00:34:41] stay consistent with, not the things [00:34:42] that you are constantly replacing. That [00:34:44] is how I think about skincare. I don't [00:34:46] bounce from brand to brand or chase [00:34:47] what's new just because it's trending. I [00:34:49] stick with Nimi because it's clean, it's [00:34:51] simple, and it aligns with how I want to [00:34:52] take care of myself over time. Nimi [00:34:54] skincare is made here in America, and [00:34:56] it's built for people who value [00:34:57] discipline over trends. Winter's [00:34:59] especially hard in your [00:35:08] Find them at nimisik skincare.com. And [00:35:10] if you use my code candace 10 at [00:35:11] checkout, you will save an additional [00:35:12] 10% off your order. That's [00:35:14] nimiskare.com. [00:35:17] Also want to tell you guys about Pure [00:35:18] Talk because for just 25 bucks a month, [00:35:20] Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk, [00:35:22] text, and plenty of data. Now, you can [00:35:24] compare that to big wireless because [00:35:26] they'd rather charge your family [00:35:27] hundreds every month. Pure Talk is an [00:35:29] American wireless company who supports [00:35:30] our veterans and invests in a US-only [00:35:33] customer service team. So when you call, [00:35:35] you are talking to someone right here at [00:35:37] home. Pure Talk uses the same towers as [00:35:39] the big carrier. So enjoy superior 5G [00:35:42] coverage without the inflated price. [00:35:43] Just $25 a month for talk, text, and [00:35:46] plenty of data. No contract, no [00:35:48] cancellation fee. So there's no reason [00:35:50] for you to wait. Go to [00:35:51] puretalk.com/owens [00:35:52] and you'll get 50% off your first month. [00:35:55] Again, that's puretalk.com/oens [00:35:57] to make the switch to pure talk. [00:36:00] Okay, let me connect some dots for you [00:36:02] here. I see somebody in the chat. First [00:36:03] off, you guys are freaking out about [00:36:05] listening to that call. It makes [00:36:06] everybody uncomfortable. That is normal. [00:36:08] And now we are going to have to deal [00:36:09] with the next psychological operation [00:36:10] that tells us that it's wrong that we [00:36:12] listened to the call. Goodbye. We don't [00:36:14] care. Something's not right. We sense [00:36:16] it's not right at Turning Point USA. And [00:36:18] it feels like the people trying to get [00:36:20] to the truth are being penalized. Okay. [00:36:23] Now, I do want to say to you what is [00:36:25] particularly I found to be interesting [00:36:27] about this Bill Montgomery angle and [00:36:29] this Shackley Corporation and their [00:36:31] contract with NASA. And you've got to go [00:36:33] way back. You got to go way back to my [00:36:35] episode on the moon landing and why I [00:36:37] don't believe the moon landing happened [00:36:39] because Operation Paperclip, which [00:36:41] somebody uh has called out in the chat [00:36:43] already. Operation Paperclip was when we [00:36:44] went over and we got these quote unquote [00:36:46] scientists scientist Nazis from Germany [00:36:49] and we brought him here and we're [00:36:50] supposed to go, "Oh, that's all fine [00:36:51] that the CIA did this because now we [00:36:54] have we had the Apollo program. We went [00:36:56] to the moon." What if we didn't go to [00:36:59] the moon? What actually did we bring [00:37:00] these scientists over for? These are the [00:37:02] questions that I ask myself because I [00:37:04] don't believe we went to the moon and I [00:37:05] but I do believe we brought over these [00:37:07] people and these families and I think [00:37:08] they were demented people and they were [00:37:10] sick people and we bury project Monarch [00:37:14] which was the precursor to MK Ultra [00:37:17] Breit Mcronone's trigger u in the [00:37:19] lawsuit don't bring up MK Ultra the [00:37:22] precursor being project Monarch Monarch [00:37:24] where they were intentionally harming [00:37:25] children um trying to sort of uh uh [00:37:29] abuse people into compliance uh mind [00:37:32] control. So that's interesting. That is [00:37:34] interesting. And now we are seeing a [00:37:38] bunch of people and I really do believe [00:37:41] that these are the white walkers in our [00:37:42] society. These people are among us that [00:37:44] people are mind controlled slaves [00:37:46] literally which was the entire purpose [00:37:47] of Project Monarch. If you follow my [00:37:49] idea [00:37:51] uh the moonland didn't happen. My fact [00:37:53] if you want to follow the facts the [00:37:54] moonland didn't happen. And that would [00:37:56] basically mean the CIA was bringing over [00:37:58] perverts. Like just bring over a ton of [00:38:00] perverts. and I'd like a list of their [00:38:02] names. And I am very interested in how [00:38:05] much NASA comes up in a lot of the stuff [00:38:07] that I am researching. Now, this brings [00:38:10] me to the most savage internet thing [00:38:13] I've ever seen happen. Credit to at [00:38:16] Brave Report. Uh some of these smaller [00:38:19] accounts that just savage I I showed you [00:38:21] guys this message. I said Turning [00:38:24] Point's not going to come out and tell [00:38:25] you who wrote this message. this Zionist [00:38:28] who is spelling like you guys noted God [00:38:31] putting a dash there. You guys were like [00:38:33] that's not how Christians would write [00:38:35] this. It turns out that well Lorie [00:38:38] Cardardoza Moore The Brave Report pulled [00:38:41] up as an evangelical Zionist who said [00:38:44] that she then learned later on that [00:38:45] she's Jewish but she is still an [00:38:47] evangelical. She's a maniac. I mean [00:38:49] there's no question she's a maniac. And [00:38:51] virtually everything that was said in [00:38:53] this text message was also a rant that [00:38:56] Lori decided to do live on the internet [00:38:58] pertaining to Tucker's totally sensible [00:39:02] speech. Listen to Lorie Cardardoza Moore [00:39:06] rant in her car. [00:39:08] >> Carson with his mocking voice and his [00:39:11] mocking laughter. They were horrified by [00:39:14] what they saw. I had three couples reach [00:39:16] out to me who had been to the Turning [00:39:19] Point USA conference and this was in [00:39:22] Tampa a couple weeks ago. They called me [00:39:25] and said they were horrified by what [00:39:27] they saw. Horrified. They saw Tucker [00:39:30] Carlson get up and act like another [00:39:33] crazy person talking condemning Israel [00:39:36] praising Qatar with his mocking voice [00:39:39] and his mocking laughter. So Tucker, [00:39:43] right after him comes Michelle Bachmann. [00:39:45] Michelle has five minutes to make an [00:39:48] argument for why we have to stand with [00:39:50] Israel. To these young people at D USA, [00:39:53] when she starts talking in that [00:39:55] conference about supporting Israel and [00:39:58] and and why America should stand with [00:40:00] Israel, the people in the audience start [00:40:04] booing her. I spoke with her personally. [00:40:07] She said 10% in the room got up and [00:40:10] walked out on her. That is shameful. [00:40:14] Then Charlie Kirk, this is his event. [00:40:16] He's responsible for what people are [00:40:18] saying and doing. Does he get up and [00:40:20] condemn Tucker or correct Tucker for [00:40:24] what he said about Israel and how [00:40:26] dangerous Qatar is to us? No. Did [00:40:30] Charlie get up and defend Michelle [00:40:32] Bachmann? Did he condemn the people that [00:40:34] got up and walked out on her that booed [00:40:36] her? Did he say why we stand with Israel [00:40:38] and we support Israel? No, he didn't. [00:40:41] That tells us everything we need to [00:40:44] know. [00:40:46] >> Yeah. Christian Zionism, man. Sell your [00:40:50] stocks immediately on Christian. You got [00:40:52] to absolutely just sell sell as this is [00:40:55] this is going down. You just see this is [00:40:56] obviously it's almost like they just [00:40:58] hired a bunch of actors to pretend to be [00:41:01] Christians. That's the vibe that you [00:41:02] start to get when you realize this is [00:41:04] the only thing they care about. This is [00:41:05] all they care about. And they will rant [00:41:07] and they will rave and they will scream [00:41:08] at you. And in case you are wondering [00:41:11] why so many of them seem to have these [00:41:13] extensive acting backgrounds, uh you can [00:41:15] look no further than Lorie Cardardoza [00:41:17] Moore because these internet sloohs [00:41:20] aren't playing around. the DCIA, the [00:41:22] decentralized intelligence agency, is [00:41:25] moving quicker. And they found that, [00:41:27] yeah, that's what Lor's background is in [00:41:30] acting and for romance hotlines and [00:41:33] things of the sort. So maybe she was [00:41:35] just cast as a Christian. Take a look at [00:41:38] this. Are you over 30 and single? You [00:41:42] can find love and romance right here on [00:41:44] the telephone on the romance hotline. [00:41:47] Just call this number and all you have [00:41:49] to do is listen. You'll hear recorded [00:41:52] messages from exciting singles over 30 [00:41:54] looking for love and romance. [00:41:56] >> The romance hotline 190098000 [00:42:01] $2 first minute45 cents additional [00:42:03] minutes. [00:42:04] >> Why not call now? All you have to do is [00:42:07] listen. [00:42:10] >> She's not the only one by the way who [00:42:12] was an actor and this is a person that [00:42:13] I'm quite interested in which is her [00:42:14] husband. Uh she is married to a man [00:42:17] named Stanley Clark Moore. He has an Air [00:42:20] Force background. Uh, also went to go [00:42:23] work for NASA if if his Wikipedia is to [00:42:26] be believed for a little bit. But little [00:42:28] else is known about him other than the [00:42:30] fact that he grew up on Air Force bases. [00:42:32] Um, that he graduated from high school [00:42:34] in Texas, humbly Texas. Which Air Force [00:42:38] bases? Who is his father? I got to know [00:42:41] who everybody's daddy is. You guys, you [00:42:43] guys know me. I got to know. If I don't [00:42:44] know who your granddad is, I don't trust [00:42:45] you. I don't if you're in Texas in the [00:42:48] 60s especially, I got to know who your [00:42:50] granddad is. If your granddad was [00:42:52] involved with the military, you got to [00:42:53] tell me right now who's your granddad. I [00:42:55] need to know who Stanley Clark's father [00:42:58] was. So, internet sleuths. Get at it. [00:43:01] Um, which air force base? Message us [00:43:04] more tips at candacewowens.com. [00:43:08] I feel like this this is important [00:43:10] somehow and there's just a lot of [00:43:13] military ties in all of this everywhere. [00:43:16] I mean, even because we're kind of [00:43:18] everywhere. Someone messaged me and let [00:43:21] me know that Turning Point is, you know, [00:43:22] shooting their Super Bowl commercial [00:43:25] here in Tennessee in Nashville and [00:43:28] they're working with this company where [00:43:29] the CEO is from Loheed Martin just [00:43:32] everywhere. It's military connections [00:43:33] everywhere at all times. And I do kind [00:43:36] of feel like the military cult has been [00:43:38] in power since LBJ helped murder uh JFK [00:43:42] set him up and then um I think cleaned [00:43:45] house and put in his guys in the [00:43:48] military. That's how I feel. Anyways, [00:43:49] not at the bottom. Obviously, tons of [00:43:51] brave American men and women uh who [00:43:53] serve, but serve who? That's the [00:43:56] question. [00:43:58] Anyway, just wanted to very quickly [00:44:00] comment because people were pinging me [00:44:01] on this about Kanye taking out a full [00:44:03] page in the Wall Street Journal to [00:44:05] apologize Kanye's apology. Also uh sat [00:44:09] down with Vanity Fair or answered [00:44:11] questions for Vanity Fair about this [00:44:13] apology whether or not he means it. He [00:44:15] speaks about his bipolar episode. Said [00:44:18] that he is on new meds, that 2025 uh or [00:44:21] 2024 was a a tough year for him and [00:44:24] there and that this is not a PR move [00:44:26] that he is sorry to the people that he [00:44:27] hurt. I just want to just broadly say [00:44:30] this because this comes up all the time. [00:44:32] There's always this Candace God. Yay. [00:44:35] That I love Yay. He's like a brother to [00:44:37] me. I am never going to turn my back on [00:44:40] Yay. I'm here for the Yay of all [00:44:42] seasons. He he and I agree on many [00:44:45] things, disagree on many things at all [00:44:46] times. If he wants to apologize to [00:44:49] people that he specifically has hurt, he [00:44:51] is welcome to do that. And of course, [00:44:52] for people that are now trying to conrue [00:44:55] this and attach and put like Candace, [00:44:58] this has nothing to do with my [00:44:59] viewpoints whatsoever on Israel, people [00:45:02] who mass murder children. Uh [00:45:05] so I support Yay and everything that he [00:45:07] does, you know, and if I don't support [00:45:08] him in anything, I will speak to him [00:45:10] directly. So, I just wanted to state [00:45:12] that because people were asking me, [00:45:13] "What do you think about this?" It's [00:45:14] Yay. Yay is always doing something uh [00:45:17] whatever he wants to do. And the reason [00:45:19] why he and I get on so well is because [00:45:21] Yay's got to be Yay. And Candace has got [00:45:22] to be Candace. It's just how it works. [00:45:25] Anyway, we'll take a brief break and [00:45:26] then I will get to some of your messages [00:45:27] as I see the chat lighting up with that [00:45:31] regarding that uh call that we just [00:45:33] played, that Zoom call. All right, you [00:45:35] guys. There is a war on truth right now. [00:45:37] You feel it and I feel it. And the [00:45:38] biggest weapon that they have, of [00:45:40] course, is the algorithm. They rewrite [00:45:42] history. They redefine morality to fit a [00:45:44] broken secular agenda that has [00:45:45] completely erased God from the [00:45:47] conversation. That's why I use [00:45:48] Magisterium AI because it's not just [00:45:51] about the past. It's about how to live [00:45:53] right now. I'm speaking about the [00:45:55] toughest questions that we face. [00:45:56] Questions about suffering, marriage, and [00:45:58] purpose in life. And unlike the other AI [00:46:00] systems out there, Magisterium AI [00:46:02] actually brings the receipts. Meaning [00:46:04] every single answer is backed by [00:46:06] original sources, citations that you can [00:46:08] click and verify for yourself. I'm [00:46:10] talking about 2,000 years of wisdom from [00:46:12] the saints, the popes, the fathers of [00:46:13] the church. It's a knowledge base that [00:46:15] grows daily from their exclusive [00:46:16] digitized work inside the pontipical [00:46:19] universities in Rome. It's the number [00:46:21] one Catholic answer engine in the world [00:46:23] for a reason.

[00:46:49] Also want to remind you guys about [00:46:50] American financing because between [00:46:51] groceries, travel, and higher prices, [00:46:54] it's easy to feel overwhelmed, [00:46:55] especially if you're already relying on [00:46:56] credit cards to cover the basics. If [00:46:58] that debt is piling up, you should know [00:46:59] that you're not alone. If you are a [00:47:00] homeowner, you might have considered [00:47:01] reaching out to American Financing, but [00:47:03] hesitated because you don't want to give [00:47:05] up that low mortgage rate. That's why [00:47:07] American Financing created the Smart [00:47:08] Equity Loan. A simple, smart way to get [00:47:10] your finances back on track without [00:47:11] giving up your low mortgage rate. Unlike [00:47:13] a HELOC, which can fluctuate with the [00:47:15] market, the Smart Equity Loan offers a [00:47:17] fixed rate, so you'll have one [00:47:18] predictable monthly payment. It lets you [00:47:20] use your home's equity to pay off high [00:47:21] interest debt, free up your cash flow, [00:47:23] and still keep your existing mortgage [00:47:24] intact. There are no on fees to find out [00:47:27] if you qualify. So call 8007951210. [00:47:31] That's 8007951210 [00:47:33] or visit americanfinancing.net/owens. [00:47:36] Again, that's [00:47:36] americanfinancing.net/owens. [00:47:39] All right, you guys. Now it's time for [00:47:41] shameless self-promotion.

It has [00:48:03] been a lot of fun. We've taken a lot of [00:48:05] risks and we because we've been able to. [00:48:07] Okay, reading for you guys the top [00:48:09] comment from last episode. Uh, Michelle [00:48:13] wrote, "Didn't Erica Kirk say that no [00:48:15] one can talk bad about her TPUSA family, [00:48:17] but then she fires them without a [00:48:18] reason? Make that make sense? It doesn't [00:48:20] make any sense. And my general opinion [00:48:23] now is that she is, this is my opinion, [00:48:25] since we caught Andrew Kovette with the [00:48:27] parent tact parent paramount tactical [00:48:30] tweet, holding it that she's [00:48:32] orchestrating a lot behind the scenes [00:48:33] and keeping her hands clean. I think [00:48:35] that became very obvious to me in that [00:48:37] moment and then going backward and [00:48:39] finding that these are she's not [00:48:41] misspeaking. I mean, sometimes she's [00:48:42] just saying a lie, right? I lived in [00:48:45] China. No, I didn't live I never lived [00:48:46] in China. Then you go backward and you [00:48:48] go, you know, I didn't never date [00:48:50] anybody. And people are constantly [00:48:51] trying to clean that up. It's like, you [00:48:52] don't say, I didn't date for five years [00:48:54] if you did date for five years. And then [00:48:55] they're like, well, no, just meant in [00:48:57] New York City. Like, that's the most [00:48:58] ridiculous thing I've ever heard that [00:49:00] you just That just makes no sense. If [00:49:02] you had a boyfriend the whole time you [00:49:03] were in New York City, but he happened [00:49:04] to live in Philadelphia. You don't say, [00:49:06] "I didn't date for 5 years." That's [00:49:08] that's not what you say. You could say I [00:49:10] didn't date anybody from New York City, [00:49:14] but I'm kind of getting tired of [00:49:15] everyone like extending things and not [00:49:17] just calling out something that's just [00:49:19] not true. It's just not true. Becca uh [00:49:24] writes, "When Erica talks, she is so [00:49:26] boring. She has not had that special [00:49:28] thing that Charlie had, and it will be [00:49:29] the end of Turning Point USA if they [00:49:30] don't make a change fast. She is [00:49:31] unlikable on the surface because she [00:49:33] acts elite. Goodbye, Turning Point USA." [00:49:36] Well, it's interesting that you say that [00:49:37] because that, as I told you, was the [00:49:39] feedback that a lot of these employees [00:49:41] who got fired had. They had no access to [00:49:44] her. It didn't feel like Charlie. [00:49:45] Charlie felt accessible. They knew what [00:49:47] his vision was. He He was that way. [00:49:49] Genuinely, he was that way. He was [00:49:51] certainly not an elitist in any way [00:49:54] whatsoever. [00:49:55] Like I said to even want to buy, even [00:49:57] when he had the money, just buy himself [00:49:58] a suit, go to a tailor, and things of [00:50:00] that nature because he wanted to be a [00:50:01] good steward of Turning Point USA. um [00:50:04] the the money that's coming in because [00:50:06] obviously the majority of the money [00:50:07] comes from small pocket donors and it it [00:50:12] seems like every effort that they are [00:50:13] exerting is to go after people who are [00:50:16] trying to find out the truth about what [00:50:19] happened to Charlie Kirk. That doesn't [00:50:21] make sense. You can't make that make [00:50:22] sense. You can't make a call like that [00:50:24] make sense to people. Jay Burgerer [00:50:26] writes, "Don't forget MLK started [00:50:28] college at 15 and had a faith-based [00:50:30] movement by the time that he was 21. I [00:50:33] actually did not know all of that. I am [00:50:34] ashamed of myself. Coffee addicted Mama [00:50:36] Bear writes, "I ordered your book the [00:50:37] second you said you were shipping to [00:50:38] Canada." Oh, yep. Make him a sandwich. [00:50:40] We now ship to Canada. It was truly eye [00:50:42] opening. I'm sure you had a good time [00:50:44] reading it. I It's very funny to go [00:50:45] backward and to realize where turn where [00:50:48] feminism has gone. It's just very funny [00:50:51] and sad and weird. Continue. I am [00:50:54] impatiently waiting for my conspiracy [00:50:56] girly cup. It shall be there. Your [00:50:57] constant devotion to truth, your [00:50:58] loyalty, and your strength are truly [00:51:00] inspiring. Go Max, girl. Man, I should [00:51:02] just read your comment. I didn't even [00:51:03] have to do shameless self-promotion [00:51:04] because your comment was so kind and you [00:51:06] promoted everything that we have. But [00:51:08] this is this is definitely great. It's a [00:51:10] great gift. You should have the [00:51:11] conspiracy girl mug mug. Sorry for the [00:51:13] fellas. You should buy the conspiracy [00:51:15] girl girly mug for a lady in your life [00:51:17] that you care about because Valentine's [00:51:19] Day is around the corner obviously and [00:51:21] that's what you should be doing. So [00:51:22] order it now today. We need it sold out. [00:51:25] Adriana New Jersey writes, "Erica plays [00:51:28] a role that she thinks men want. She did [00:51:31] not have the same values as Charlie and [00:51:33] now is pedalling back. The comment in [00:51:35] the New York Times was, "Who needs a [00:51:37] man? Being a single mother is okay." [00:51:39] That is the opposite of Charlie's views. [00:51:42] I can't justify that comment. To refer [00:51:45] to it as the least traumatizing thing [00:51:47] is, I think what bothers me. The least [00:51:50] traumatizing. [00:51:52] Huh? It's traumatizing full stop. It's [00:51:55] tra It should traumatize you full stop. [00:51:58] Joseph Brown writes, "Candice Owens, [00:52:01] uh, curious." Joel writes, [00:52:02] "Geoengineering has become really fake [00:52:04] and gay. The sidewalks at my apartments [00:52:06] were covered in ice. It was like [00:52:07] styrofoam. I could walk uh to my work on [00:52:12] them, no problem. The ice literally had [00:52:13] a grip. H A RP must be drunk." I We [00:52:17] could speak a lot about geoengineering [00:52:18] and I believe that it would lead us to [00:52:22] NASA's doorsteps because I don't think [00:52:23] they've been trying to get to the moon. [00:52:26] do think that during the Korean War, as [00:52:28] we learned throughout that chaos book, [00:52:30] that we were experimenting with spraying [00:52:35] uh spraying people, spraying products [00:52:37] and I think that that is the the true [00:52:39] reason that or uh the true reason that [00:52:41] NASA came together, mass poisoning [00:52:43] people. I I I believe that. Dagert Ar [00:52:48] Dagber Jonah writes, "Can you wish my [00:52:51] beautiful wife Cresenda Arj Arjona?" I [00:52:54] hope I'm saying it right. Is it Arjuna? [00:52:56] Probably. Cresenda Aona a happy [00:52:58] birthday. Cresenda Aona, happy birthday. [00:53:00] I hope that's Spanish. If not, then this [00:53:02] is just weird. But thank you so much for [00:53:04] your support. You write that she's a big [00:53:05] fan of mine. Uh, God bless you. God [00:53:08] bless you. And Cresenda Arona, if it's [00:53:11] not Spanish, it is now. Seven Sheets [00:53:13] writes, "I didn't know that much about [00:53:14] CK before this, but could tell a man of [00:53:16] integrity. I feel like I mourned him [00:53:18] longer than EK or TPUSA did. I would [00:53:20] never believe the slop and will support [00:53:22] any voice that is seeking truth. Thank [00:53:24] you. God bless you." There's something [00:53:25] about this story that I think makes us [00:53:27] all feel like we're not safe. Like, if [00:53:29] they could do that to Charlie and he was [00:53:31] playing the game and get away with it, [00:53:33] what are we all doing? Like, we should [00:53:34] that we should just be revoling at all [00:53:36] hours of the day. I can't even listen to [00:53:37] anything Trump says anymore. I don't [00:53:38] care about anything at all. I'm just [00:53:40] like, "Shut up. I hate everybody. You're [00:53:42] all fake. You're You're all actors. [00:53:45] Actually, that's how I feel. I look at [00:53:46] all of them as bad faith actors in the [00:53:49] political scene. And there none of it is [00:53:52] sincere. [00:53:54] Comic Nick writes, "I said this last [00:53:57] week, and I need the world's opinion on [00:53:59] this, but why wouldn't Charlie Kirk tell [00:54:01] Erica Kirk that they were going to kill [00:54:03] him unless he was scared that she was a [00:54:05] part of it of they?" Oh, unless he was [00:54:08] scared that she was a part of they. This [00:54:10] is all I think about when you see her. [00:54:11] If Trumus is evil, well, to be [00:54:14] charitable, it could also be in a [00:54:16] scenario that is maybe more chivalous [00:54:20] that men don't want their wives to be [00:54:23] concerned about certain things because [00:54:24] there have certainly been things that, [00:54:27] and again, this is a charitable read, [00:54:28] but that my husband has not told me [00:54:30] until after. I'm like, "What? Were you [00:54:32] just keeping that in forever?" Like a [00:54:34] soldier, we were dealing with this or [00:54:36] whatever, and he just dealt with it and [00:54:38] then told me after. So it it could have [00:54:40] been just giving you another angle on [00:54:43] that he could have not told her for the [00:54:46] that reason. I I'm less inclined to [00:54:48] believe that Andrew Kovat and Dan Flood [00:54:50] didn't tell her afterward that she had [00:54:52] to rely on his text messages. That that [00:54:54] wouldn't be the first thing in the [00:54:55] investigation that the feds would ask, [00:54:58] hey, did Charlie have any fears? and [00:55:00] that they wouldn't inform his next of [00:55:02] kin of those things, especially Dan [00:55:04] Flood as she's a chairman and CEO and uh [00:55:07] therefore presumably actually could just [00:55:09] take his text messages and read them if [00:55:10] she wanted to. I Yeah, that is less [00:55:13] believable than the fact that Charlie [00:55:14] would maybe not tell her the night [00:55:16] before. Cesaly writes, "I'm so sorry for [00:55:18] you to hear this, Candace. My cousin [00:55:20] passed a week after Charlie and it is [00:55:21] still so hard for me to say that he has [00:55:23] gone to talk about it. Can't imagine [00:55:24] that much joy in my voice again. I'm so [00:55:26] sorry for you. You loved and grieved [00:55:28] Charlie so much. I think I felt a bit [00:55:30] like the employees like what am I doing [00:55:32] wrong here that I have to go away and [00:55:34] cry for a long time and I cried on air [00:55:39] which is I that's never happened before [00:55:41] and everyone else just kind of seemed [00:55:44] giddy. That's the only way I can [00:55:45] describe it. Like giddy when that person [00:55:47] said they were joyous and giddy at [00:55:48] Charlie's favorite restaurant which I [00:55:50] chose not to name. That was how I felt [00:55:52] listening to the call and I'm just going [00:55:53] guys this is less than two weeks after [00:55:56] um that motion that emotion shouldn't be [00:56:00] possible shouldn't be possible actually [00:56:04] in my view [00:56:06] Maria Rits uh hey Jolly Valley girl oh [00:56:10] sorry pardon her Jolly Valley girl tone [00:56:12] excited to be discussing business [00:56:14] numbers and goals is super cringe and [00:56:16] weird this is beyond grieving [00:56:17] differently behavior we all have common [00:56:20] human instinct to sense these things. [00:56:21] Love you, Candace from Vegas. And that I [00:56:24] agree with you that they're trying to [00:56:25] pervert like there is no commonality. [00:56:28] They're kind of giving us the MoMA. The [00:56:30] MoMA is modern art where you you go to [00:56:33] the MoMA museum and there's a toilet [00:56:36] and it has scribbles all over it. It has [00:56:39] graffiti on it and they're like, "This [00:56:41] is art. Art is in the eye of the [00:56:42] beholder." It's like, "That's not art. [00:56:44] Doesn't matter how many times you say [00:56:45] it. That's not art. There is such a [00:56:47] thing as objective beauty. And that [00:56:49] ain't it, my friend. to toilet and [00:56:51] you're just trying to see if you can get [00:56:52] me there. It feels like we're in the ma [00:56:56] and they're going, "Everybody grieavves [00:56:57] differently." Some people grief with [00:56:59] happiness and laughter because it feels [00:57:01] good because it comes in waves and it's [00:57:02] like, "Nope, [00:57:05] I don't think so." I understand even [00:57:08] working to get through things. I'm a [00:57:10] person that has to work to get through [00:57:11] things. But this is not that [00:57:14] event even for that to to have to work [00:57:17] through something, become a workaholic [00:57:19] because you have to deal with the [00:57:22] emotion of watching somebody that you [00:57:25] know and purport to love be publicly [00:57:29] assassinated. You have to deal with [00:57:30] that. And I'm going to say that as a [00:57:34] rule, [00:57:36] it takes longer than less than two weeks [00:57:39] to get out of bed to do the thing. I [00:57:42] don't know. I that's that would be my [00:57:45] opinion. But what do I know? What do I [00:57:48] know? Jess Happy writes, "And to think [00:57:50] that all I thought about on September [00:57:52] 10th was how empty and terrified Erica [00:57:54] must feel and how sad I was for those [00:57:56] babies. How ironic crisis can keep [00:57:57] going, Candace." That's why I also think [00:57:59] it was important to share his call [00:58:01] because we all were there thinking that. [00:58:04] For those of us who did not immediately [00:58:06] find her to be suspicious in any way, we [00:58:09] assumed that that's what she was going [00:58:11] through. And now that assumption has [00:58:14] been removed and that's something that [00:58:18] is a thing that we all now must digest. [00:58:20] And like I said, there's a lot more [00:58:22] that's coming out because I think a lot [00:58:24] of these employees are realizing [00:58:27] it was a cult and there I mean there's [00:58:29] almost like a psychological operation [00:58:30] being run on them. It's like if you need [00:58:31] to use your pay time off, we'd [00:58:32] understand. But [00:58:34] we're the wife is full steam ahead. But [00:58:36] if you need to take that time off, [00:58:37] you've earned that time off. You need to [00:58:39] take that off to grieve someone who's [00:58:40] like not your husband. That's fine. [00:58:43] That feels tricky. That feels very [00:58:45] tricky. Anyway, you guys, we will see [00:58:49] you tomorrow.
