Podcast Summary: Friends In High Temples: Charlie's Final Call With Bibi... | Candace Ep 320

Host: Candace Owens
Date: April 2, 2026
Duration: ~54 minutes (excluding ads and announcements)

Episode Overview

In this solo episode, Candace Owens delivers an in-depth, unfiltered analysis of the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination, focusing on the shadowy network of relationships, business ties, and possible intelligence connections that surround the case. Owens weaves together themes of war profiteering, deep-rooted political and family connections (notably between Bibi Netanyahu and Mitt Romney), and suggests the entanglement of business, intelligence, and political elites in Utah and Texas. She also exposes new evidence and research contributions from Baron Coleman, especially financial flows and family associations, and raises pressing, pointed questions about the involvement of the CIA, FBI tactics, and the integrity of the unfolding investigation.

Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. The Netanyahu-Romney Connection (00:50–06:15)

Candace presents the historic and close friendship between Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and Mitt Romney going back to 1976 at the Boston Consulting Group, highlighting how this relationship could be relevant to the Charlie Kirk case and Utah politics.
Quote:
“It would be difficult for me to overstate to you just how close Bibi Netanyahu is to Mitt Romney... Their intense political support for one another, counseling to one another, a friendship which began back in 1976...” (04:10)
Explores the power of the Romney family in Utah and their potential influence.

2. The Strange Events at the Hospital (06:15–13:00)

Candace recounts the suspicious circumstances at Timpanogos Hospital on September 10th, the day Charlie Kirk died, emphasizing the lack of eyewitnesses and the emergency room being “completely cleared” for the Turning Point USA staff.
The FBI, led by Kash Patel, seizes hospital footage, prioritizing it over the ongoing manhunt.
Discussion of how detaining “decoy suspects” (e.g., Zachariah Qureshi) effectively derailed the investigation and aided the assassin’s escape.

3. The Qureshi Family, BILT Inc., and Military Ties (13:00–18:30)

Explores the background of Zachariah Qureshi (detained as a “decoy”), whose father Ahmed Qureshi is a high-ranking Navy officer (O6) and co-founder of BILT Inc., a DoD-funded tech company.
Baron Coleman’s investigation exposes sudden, suspicious spikes in BILT's federal contracts—$7.5M in June 2025, right as plans for the Kirk event at Utah Valley University were ramping up.
- Baron Coleman (13:30):
  “We’ve got a 3.1 million dollar contract in 2020...nothing major until this one. Boom. 4.9, 2.4...when were these contracts? June 1 and June 16 of 2025...”
The unusual living arrangements and business ties between the Qureshis and Hendersons (Nathan Henderson, co-founder with Ahmed, is married to Gina Romney Henderson), further tie these networks together.

4. Deepening the Utah/Texas/BYU Web (18:30–29:30)

Both families (Qureshi and Henderson) lived at the same address in Keller, Texas, and their sons attended BYU together—Connor Henderson (who worked in the Timpanogos ER as a scribe) and Zachariah Qureshi.
Gina Romney Henderson (VP at BILT) is tied to the Romney family and BYU, escalating the significance of these connections. Candace highlights recurring Texas links—flights, business moves, and key individuals’ prior residency.
The new CEO of Timpanogos, Andrew Zenger, appointed just before the murder, is a BYU and Jerusalem Center alumnus, previously based in Texas.
Quote:
“BYU has direct ties to the CIA. They recruit directly from BYU...and what is even more odd is that they recruit specifically from BYU Jerusalem in Israel, which is exactly where Andrew Zenger attended school.” (26:10)
Candace asserts that BYU Jerusalem is a CIA recruitment hub, especially for elite Mormon youth.

5. CIA, Metro One Talent, and Mormon Elite Recruitment (29:30–34:30)

Candace claims (as fact, not speculation) that CIA directly recruits from BYU Jerusalem, using a company called Metro One Talent. Several of Zenger’s roommates went on to work for the CIA, including Michael Sean Covey.
She describes a pipeline from elite Mormon youth at BYU Jerusalem into intelligence work (CIA/contracting), which also connects to the Romney family.
Investigation is reopened into BYU grad Robbie Hilt, allegedly also tied to the Romneys.

6. The FBI’s Flawed Forensic Analysis & Deep State Echoes (34:30–37:30)

Explains how the FBI is reviving the “comparative bullet lead analysis” first created to tie bullets to suspects after JFK’s assassination, despite it being scientifically debunked.
- Quote:
  “The FBI came up with the road chemistry because they needed to match a bullet to the JFK case. Oh my gosh, it’s just so amazing...they’re bringing that back because Charlie was...just lucky, I guess, lucky that they’re getting back into chemistry. Flawed technique.” (36:45)
Points out “patsy” set-ups and questionable forensic tactics in the case against Tyler Robinson.

7. Interconnected Mormon Family Networks: The Robinsons, Hilds, Farnsworths, and the Romney Dynasty (37:30–40:00)

Candace outlines the need for genealogical research, as numerous suspect and witness family lines (e.g., Robinson, Hild, Farnsworth) cross with the Romneys, especially within the Mormon colonies in Utah and Mexico.
She draws historical connections to war profiteering and private equity (Bain Capital), and raises the question: How many powerful players were threatened by Charlie Kirk’s stance against war with Iran?

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

On Bibi and Mitt Romney:
“They’re like ride or die. Maybe even with an emphasis on the die.” (01:45)
On the hospital lockdown and FBI actions:
“It’s almost as if the emergency room had been completely cleared for Turning Point USA... when Kash Patel arrived, he had the FBI immediately seize the footage... What a bizarre priority, right?” (08:30)
On contract funding surge:
“I’ll be really suspicious if these contracts were in the planning phases of the Charlie Kirk event…” –Baron Coleman (14:45)
On BYU/CIA connections:
“Could you imagine being approached to work for the CIA in Jerusalem by Israelis?” (28:15)
On motives and research ahead:
“We need to become genealogists and trace everything and all of the connections… I need to do a lot of research now with a little more focus on these family ties, family ties that could potentially matter in a really big way.” (39:30)
On power, truth, and lawsuits:
“There is no true power without truth. And that’s what they’re learning. This is the lesson that they’re learning. It is just a figment of your imagination if you don’t have truth on your side.” (42:30)
