The episode combines meticulous timeline reconstruction, commentary on related personalities, and direct challenges to her critics.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Setting the Scene: The Unusual Aftermath of a Crime ([00:00]–[06:35])

• Opening Thought Experiment:
  Candace asks listeners to imagine writing a TV series about a model student who unexpectedly becomes an assassin in support of his "trans furry lover". She questions what logical actions would follow such a shocking event.
• Highlight:
  The behavior of Tyler Robinson after the shooting doesn’t fit the typical profile of a first-time killer (e.g., “not exactly pop over to Dairy Queen to have lunch, calmly have lunch, and just begin texting his lover” [00:59]).

2. Breaking News: Tyler Robinson’s Movements Post-Shooting ([06:36]–[19:22])

• Exclusive Reveal:
  Candace confirms Robinson drove three hours from Orem, Utah, to Panguitch, Utah, after stopping at Dairy Queen, allegedly acting alone.
• At the Cowboys Smokehouse:
  Robinson sat at the bar, ordered a medium-rare steak, mashed potatoes, and vegetables ("he was sure hungry"), appeared calm, and was observed texting on his phone [08:00].
• Verification:
  Despite efforts to avoid detection, Robinson paid with his credit card, providing investigators with a paper trail (Candace: “he used his credit card. That's how they found it” [09:44]).
• Federal Investigative Lapses:
  Candace expresses surprise that federal agents didn’t immediately track credit card transactions; the tip about Robinson came from the restaurant’s staff days later, not proactive law enforcement work.
• Timeline Correction:
  Candace adjusts the timeline, placing the Dairy Queen stop earlier, Robinson’s arrival in Panguitch at 8:45pm, and his departure around 9:30pm. She speculates he may have stayed with his grandmother, who publicly defended him (“my grandson does not fire guns. My grandson did not commit this murder” [12:23]).
• Public Call:
  She encourages anyone with footage or information near Cowboy Smokehouse to contact her (email: tipsandaceowens.com).

3. Critique of the Official Investigation & Candace’s Track Record ([19:23]–[24:24])

• “Fed Sloppy” Narrative:
  The lack of further investigatory action increases Candace’s skepticism about the case ("it's not that kind of an investigation... This is case closed. Giddy up” [10:53]).
• Evidence Candace’s Team Has Uncovered:
  She lists numerous stories her show has broken – e.g., text messages before Kirk’s death, inconsistencies in the crime scene (”no blood on the back of Charlie”), the FBI’s questionable actions, and others ([17:51]–[24:24]).
  • “What I want is for this to be solved. I want to know who killed Charlie Kirk. And I don't believe it was Tyler Robinson” ([24:24]).

4. Institutional and Personal Connections: Political, Military, and Family Ties ([24:25]–[39:30])

• Fort Huachuca & Turning Point USA:
  Updates around suspicious military/political connections and discussion about who decided on public mourning displays for Kirk.
• Detailed Network Mapping:
  Candace lays out overlapping ties between major figures:
  • Tyler Boyer & Terrell Farnsworth (attended high school together; families intertwined in Arizona politics)
  • Erica (Kirk) met Boyer before dating Charlie, with origin stories diverging between her and Boyer ([29:30]).
  • The Farnsworth family: involved in state politics and controversial legislative actions, notably Eddie Farnsworth’s blocking of a child sex trafficking bill ([36:30]).
  • Military Ties: Farnsworths' involvement with Arizona bases, defense contracts, and proximity to Turning Point USA operations.
  • Quote on theme overlap:
    • “Never in my life, in my political life, have I worked on a single story where a theme of child sex trafficking has emerged more” ([36:30]).
• Suspicious Behavior:
  Candace singles out Terrell Farnsworth as “guilty of something” based on her instincts ([32:27]), clarifying she does not want harassment or threats against anyone involved.

5. The “No, No” Show and Ongoing Feud with The Daily Wire ([39:31]–[49:30])

• Background:
  Candace addresses The Daily Wire’s new show allegedly parodying her and Tucker Carlson, claiming it’s an unhealthy obsession from her former employer (“Ben Shapiro is my psycho ex boyfriend because that's what this feels like” [48:05]).
• Parody Segment Played:
  Candace plays and reacts to a clip mocking her segment on Utah’s beehive flag, dismissing its originality.
  • “It's really good. It's really sweet. So funny. It's like very original. Very. I would say she's clever as a fox.” ([48:05])
• Broader Commentary:
  Owens accuses The Daily Wire of ongoing attempts to undermine her, even after her departure, and calls for laws limiting employer retaliation or harassment.
  • “There's something about it that is dangerous. You have to go create a show that's interesting and compelling, that people want to watch, that's not based off of somebody that you fired...” ([49:20])

6. The Brigitte Macron Lawsuit and Free Speech ([49:31]–[52:22])

• International Case:
  Candace emphasizes the chilling precedent of jail sentences in France for those tweeting about Brigitte Macron’s gender/relationship to President Macron—despite the alleged truth of the claims.
  • “Brigitte Macron believes the truth about his gender is a form of harassment.”
• Parallels to Her Own Legal Situation:
  She warns that similar “truth is hate speech” standards could emerge in the US, referencing her own lawsuit in Delaware.
  • “Evil people are getting caught doing evil things. And those evil people still have enough power to... create new laws to make it so that they never get caught again. Or even when they do get caught, you have to shut up about it.”

7. Audience Interaction and Book Club ([52:23]–End)

• Responding to Comments:
  Candace shows appreciation for supportive messages and clarifies plans for upcoming book club sessions.
• Additional Updates:
  • Confirms continued investigation into the military, the Farnsworth and Boyer families, and defense contracts.
  • Ends on a personal note, reiterating desire to move past the Daily Wire drama (“it's two years. Okay? You just, you have to get over a past relationship sooner than two years for your own mental health beyond anything else”).
  • Reminds: “Standing on furniture is a no-no, don’t do that.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Robinson’s Post-Crime Behavior:
  “He seemed absolutely fine and normal... Maybe that's when he was sending more messages to his lover as he was eating a steak. He was sure hungry is what I would say, but calm nonetheless.” ([08:37])

• On Investigative Lapses:
  “I would imagine the federal government had that capability, but they didn't do that. Instead, they were contacted days later by this restaurant. The server filed a report responsibly...” ([10:37])

• On her evidence:
  “Because one of my favorite things ever is how no matter how many stories we break... the haters will forever say she has presented no evidence. They're just going on vibes in a dream on the Candace show.” ([17:51])

• On Terrell Farnsworth:
  “As soon as I hung up, I said to my team, and I'm quoting myself here, that man is guilty of something. He's guilty of something. He's lying about weird stuff.” ([32:27])

• On the Daily Wire/Ben Shapiro feud:
  “There's something about it that is dangerous. You have to go create a show that's interesting and compelling, that people want to watch, that's not based off of somebody that you fired because you didn't want them anymore...” ([49:20])

• On Brigitte Macron case:
  “Brigitte Macron believes the truth about his gender is a form of harassment. This is very chilling.” ([50:12])
