All right, ladies and gentlemen, happy Thursday. I just want to say at the top here that it has been 35 days, 35 long days since we have publicly and politely, I might add, we've requested to see the footage of Charlie Kirk naming his wife Erica Kirk as the chairman and CEO. In the event that anything happens to him, quote, I appoint my wife, Erica Kirk. Right. No such luck. And that's odd. That's very odd to me considering Blakey Neff, who thinks I am a checks notes maniac brandishing a knife, screaming at people on the subway, whatever that means. Nonetheless, he. He's apparently a huge fan of the show. He accidentally revealed how many hours of the show he consumes when he shared a screen grab of his computer. He was trying to diss me. Then people noticed that the screen grabbed shows you the load bar. Look at this. He's making fun of me. But then actually people zoomed in and said, hey, that little red bar at the end tells you how much progress he's made it through every episode of Candace. So I can say, truly that blank, that Blake is a friend of the show. I mean, what can I say? I make a lot of friends. I am friendly. Anyway, about a week ago, a little over a week ago, we put up a bounty for footage or information which would help us better understand how that remarkably timely footage of Erica saying that she wanted to go home after the White House correspondence dinner. How exactly did that come to be? I just wanted to know. And it looks like we may have the beginning of an answer. Welcome back to Candace. Foreign. So at the top of the show, I just want to tell you guys, Israel is going max on propaganda. Like super max and propaganda. We've been talking about it a lot this week. All of these organizations that they're putting together, they're filing FARA for the first time ever. And it's. It's sort of exceptional. So you remember we told you obviously about Show Faith by Works llc, that's that far registered propaganda arm of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. And I was interested, as we were going through their filings of their stated goal to provide the October 7th experience. The October 7th experience, coming to a church parking lot near you. And I was like, that doesn't sound very pleasant. But that just doesn't sound very pleasant. Are we going to have people paragliding into parking lots? Like, what exactly is that going to look like? And gratefully, my producer stumbled upon the details. I hadn't realized that in this far filing, which we had just sort of glimpsed through for the relevant details to the episode, but they also included an entire detailed accounting of the propaganda that they intend to execute upon Christian minds. It is thorough and I'm not going to go through it all today, but I really want to encourage Christians to take time to read through that filing, take your time to process, especially if you are evangelical, because this is effectively evangelical ultra okay, that they are targeting evangelicals. And with the recent news that they will be upping the spend to what it's like $750 million, almost a billion dollars. The how is actually really relevant. Like, that's a lot of money to spend to shape minds. How are you going to do that? And the October 7th experience is, is one part of the puzzle. So what is it? Check out this slide that they inserted in the, in the. Just. I have to laugh. I am sorry. I am not laughing at October 7th. I am laughing at the October 7th experience as an idea. We have got to get real, people. This is weird. Okay? This is weird. This is beyond weird. We're looking at VR headsets and they're going to come by. It's mobile, so they can just kind of drive the bus. I want to know who's driving the bus, who's bringing all the stuff. They're going to just set up and they're going to give people the October 7th experience. They're going to build this trailer. They're going to use Hollywood set designers. You're going to be able to reserve it if you'd like. You can have a tent. It tells us that there's going to be a TV mounted a wrapped with images of Israel or the Western Wall. So that's as part of the experience. It's going to be a call to action using biblical messaging. But there the. The real important part is this VR experience that you're going to have of October 7th. This is weird. This level of propaganda is weird. I just, I, I want you to just please, if you are an evangelical, take your time to go through those Farah filings because they're playing no games with what they want to do. And they are targeting churches. And we noticed it early on the show. Obviously, all year we've been talking about how these pastors are given notes and being paid to say things on stage, attacking people in politics. Right? Saying sensible things about Israel. This is going to. It's. They're leveling up bot campaigns. You. You're going to think the comment section. If you think the comment section in Facebook is real, it's just not. They have completely fake bots that actually mirror real people, and they're trying to make you think that you're alone in your own ideas while they're dropping thousands, hundreds of thousands of bots to tell you, like, oh, this person's great. You're. What are you talking about? Anyway? It's a war for your mind. Switching gears, however, to the main topic of today. Last week, we put out a bounty. I was not playing around. I said $10,000. $10,000. For more information regarding what? While we were interested in that video of Erica Kirk departing the White House correspondence dinner, a dinner in which we, the general public, for some odd reason, we got into trouble for it, right? I don't know why we got grounded, but we got grounded immediately. They were coming out. The messaging was that it was our fault that this happened to Erica. Like, suddenly we got to watch Erica. We didn't do anything. We were at home. Most, most of us were eating dinner with our family. Suddenly we learn via the Internet that Erica is in Washington, D.C. at a press dinner. Before she gets there, she's. She's taking bridal shots or something. That was. That part was weird. No, nobody's talking about that enough. That was weird. Here's Erica before the White House Correspondent Center. She carries light behind her eyes, even when the dark. And rational people were wondering, hey, Erica, why are you in. Why are you inside of the sheer curtains? That's. That's. That's a pretty classic bridal shot. What are you doing there? What's happening? We knew that we were probably off to a bad start. Next thing we know, we're being told that there were shots fired. And then there's another video of Erica that comes out, and it's going viral, and she says that she wants to go home. Here it is. So we said instantly. Yay. Okay, good idea. Not to boast, but that's actually kind of been our idea, right? That's our idea. Erica go home was the general public's idea for a very long time. And we were being told that that was not acceptable, but we were happy to let her take credit for the idea and just get home. Next thing we know, not only does she Steal our idea and says she's going to go home. Well, that was our idea, sweetie. Then we start getting screamed at on the Internet. We don't even know what we did wrong. As so much was happening, I couldn't keep up. It was just like a black outrage on X of people screaming at us about Erica. Right. Graham Allen, of course, resident psycho. He wrote, you can hear Erica Kirk say, I just want to go home. Pray for her. Pray for her children. How much horror should one woman have to be exposed to? Absolutely horrific. Like, who exposed her to this dinner? Then we had Michaela Peterson, who has been filling it for her father. She writes, I don't want to share the video of Erica Kirk last night, but that is what PTSD looks like. Heartbreaking, the mockery it triggered. Just strength strengthens my faith in God. There are times when seeing the good in the world is more difficult, but you can always see the evil. Then we had Ian Miles Chong. We still don't know what he's doing involved at all in American politics. He writes, all the endless conspiracy theorizing and attacks on Erica Kirk by Candace Owens led to this. It didn't have to be like this. Erica does not deserve this. Like what? What did I do? I told her to do the opposite of that. I never once said anything about her being inside of sheer curtains. It's crazy. Then this person, Bible in context, wrote, shots fired at the White House Correspondence center at President Trump, and the first lady rushed off stage. This is what happens when propaganda and lies are spread online by people like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Why do they want Trump dead? Okay, again, like I said, very confusing because I specifically remember us telling Erica almost repeatedly to not be the CEO and to go home, go home, be with your kids. And the people who were doing the yelling at us were saying the opposite. They were saying, let her stay in the public eye. Let her be the CEO. Let her fulfill Charlie's role. So it was like just like upside down world for a second. And making matters more confusing was the lecture that we then eventually had to endure from Erika herself, like her choice of outfit. There were even some portions of the speech that didn't exactly land, like this portion about the wine bottles.
C
It was time to take our seats and we went into the big ballroom where the dinner was. And one of the first things I noticed when I walked into that room was quite literally the proximity of the opposing outlets to one another. So you have one table here that's Politico and another table here that's Fox. And another table here, that's WaPo. And you're all crammed together, elbow to elbow. And to make the night even more of a spectacle, every single 10 person table had 10 bottles of wine ready

I was. I was perplexed. Like, what exactly was up with the wine bottle shot out there? Well, even more of a Spectacle. There were 10 bottles of wine on every table. On the cramped table. What. What did the wine bottles do wrong? What did we do wrong? Is anybody going to bother to tell us why she was in that curtain taking a bridal shot? It all felt unfair. I felt like Matilda Wormwood. You know her? Matilda Wormwood. She was my favorite. Her parents were awful to her and they always yelled at her for no reason. And that is how I felt. I was being yelled at for no reason. Anyway, I don't like being put into timeout for something that I didn't do. Nobody puts Baby in the corner without a. A valid reason. So I wanted to investigate it. The timing was weird. The shot was weird of her walking out the footage. The instantaneous virility of the video was weird. It didn't feel real. So we put out that 10k bounty. We just wanted proof of who recorded it. And lo and behold, we got a couple of very interesting direct tips. People keen to collect the 10K. And here's what we learned. And I'm going to say allegedly here. I have a sense that this first person is telling the truth for a few reasons. One, this person works in politics. Two, this person reached out almost instantly following our show with a very specific story with very specific names, and they offered to sign a sworn affidavit. Three, this person gave us the name of who recorded the video. And it is a person who appears to have done some work with Turning Point USA in the past. So those are the pros. Now, on the con side, this person works in politics, right? Not exactly someone I would describe as a fan of mine. So there is a chance he or she is therefore making it up to embarrass me. But at the moment that you are transacting, the moment that you're taking money it's not a gotcha, it's a crime. Right? You can't say I was just kidding and I got 10k from you. But you never rule it out. All things are possible. And this is why we vet our tips. Very seriously. Anyway, here's what we were told. Allegedly following the shooting, a political operative whose name we are going to withhold at this moment until we can confirm it beyond a shadow of a doubt. And we think we will be able to do that imminently. Apparently this freelancing operative was positioned in advance with the specific instruction to take that exact video at that exact place, at that exact time. The operative was allegedly in communication with digital media teams and the entire moment was stage captured and then intentionally shared amongst those digital media teams and their operatives, whereupon it was made to go viral. Now that is of course devastating. If it is true, there's another person who has a video and has sent evidence it's a still of the video. I believe that is actually a still of the video. We checked that. That's not AI. It is definitively an angle that other people have not seen. But they want me to pay a partial portion before they send the full 30 second video. So that's a gamble. I would say it's a gamble, but it might be one that I'm willing to take. I might be out a couple thousand dollars, but the reward would be a video of everything to confirm things. All of this to say we are going to get our answer. Am I? Every instinct is that the video was staged. I didn't buy that Sarah Seidner of, of cnn, who initially put the video online, recorded it. She stopped short of saying that she recorded it. She said she was there around when Erica walked out. But I felt that she likely had that video sent to her and then she put it online. So I will ask this question now in advance before I am turned into publicly public enemy number one. I already am public enemy number one. Well, maybe it's Tucker Carlson. If we are able to confirm this in the coming days, that this entire shot was staged. And I have a suspicion, I have a hunch. What will they say next? How hard are we going to get gaslit? What? What? What could they say? Well, they could say she didn't know. It was unbeknownst to her. Maybe this was like fast pr. Maybe it was Andrew Colbert. Maybe Andrew Colette was texting someone and said, okay, oh, I gotta get the shot. Erica's about to walk out over here. Whatever. And Erica really had no idea someone did it without her knowledge or did it without her consent. Someone sold her grief. How terrible would that be? Even though we know we had merch sales and hot sales. Felt like that was kind of the whole point of this selling grief. I just want to know how far are they realistically going to take it. I look at this situation, I look at everything that's happening, and I'm, I don't think any of us doubt. I think we're starting to see what's happening. We are living in a world of make believe. Everything about that White House correspondence shooting made very little sense, least of all the immediate reaction from the very same people, I should add, who were lecturing us about Erica for our. Our apparent failure to keep her safe. This. They all got together to the same thing. This is why Trump needs a ballroom. They all instantly said, look at the amount of counts, accounts saying this. Just look across the board at the people who are saying this. Randy Fine. Right. Whatever he says needs to happen, the opposite thing needs to happen. He says we'd better never again hear a peep from anyone complaining about a White House ballroom. Huh. The shooting made you think about a ballroom? Randy Fine. Andrew Colvette. This is why the President needs to build the White House ballroom. Everyone that. I don't trust Megan McCain in the mix. I don't want to hear one more thing about Trump's new ballroom at the White House. No, every. He needs the ballroom. All of these people just at the same time thought the same thing and tweeted out that Trump, obviously, when you saw, they saw. He needs the ballroom. A ballroom that never existed for some reason, he didn't. He didn't need a ballroom when the shooting happened in Butler. He didn't need a ballroom under any other occasion. Are we pretending that Trump doesn't have events all the time? Like literally all events all the time at Mar a Lago? Why does he specifically need a ballroom at the White House in order for him to have an event that's like, oddly specific, doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Trump has events at the White House, by the way. He had an event shortly thereafter at the White House. Why does he specifically need this ballroom? And why are we pretending like that doesn't feel like, like it's weird that people believe that what happened was staged on the basis of how these people responded. Right. What are we supposed to believe? A shooting happens? And what. Quick, what's your first thought? Well, once upon a time, it used to be, get down. Someone called 91 1. Is everyone okay? Thank goodness. Nobody is hurt. Wow. We need to talk about security. But in this, like, new world of make believe, which we seem to have stepped fully into since Charlie crochet assassination, they want us to believe the normal thing is this is why Trump needs a ballroom. Quick, Terrell, get the camera behind Charlie's head ASAP and use the chair that he just died in to do it for. Violate the crime scene, get the ballroom. Everything is now feeling illusory, and it also kind of feels like we're running into this moment, like something is about to explode. They're becoming increasingly desperate because all of us have sort of had the skills removed from our eyes. And I will say that if, and it seems likely, if we are able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that that moment was staged is really not going to be good for the myga movement, the Make Israel Great Again movement, Trump, everything his administration has become, I just think it's going to be really, really bad. And I don't see how they're going to be able to wiggle Erica Kirk out of another one of these narratives. Anyway, we'll be back after a brief break. All right, you guys.

As I said earlier up top of the show, Israel is at war with American minds. They really do believe, and this is what's most fascinating is that it's just a certain amount of money that they need to spend. Right? There's a certain amount of money that they believe they can spend which will outright purchase our perspectives. The psychological games are being played and to their credit, they have almost outright purchased Washington D.C. right the the money given to congressmen from APAC to get them to prioritize Israeli interests over American America's sons and daughters never ending wars. A great example of that is occurring right now. Thomas Massie, who has for a very long time been my favorite Congressman because he consistently votes against sending our money overseas and he cannot be bought by aipac. He declines that sort of bribery from Israel. And so what do they want? They want him unseated. Trump has made he's very vocal. He is teaming up with AIPAC to unseat and actually America first candidate Thomas Massie joined Tucker Carlson on a show last night and this is what he had to share about how they're getting involved in his race in Kentucky. Take a listen.
D
So what is the current polling in your race?
E
It's a single point lead for me. It's not very fluid. They've spent $10 million against me.
B
It's crazy.
E
And when I say they, I hope we get into they.
D
Yes.
E
And it's going to be close. It's just going to be the result is going to be based on who turns out.
D
So it was 81% margin, 76, 75 like full on blowouts in the Republican primary in your district in Kentucky and now it's within a couple of points and you could lose.
E
Correct.
D
And the difference is they have spent $10 million against you. So I don't think anyone would dispute that that's the difference. The money poured into this race from outside of Kentucky is basically pushing you to the point of almost losing and you may lose. Where'd that money come from?
E
Well it didn't come from regular people. It's come from billionaires. And 95% of it, at least 95% has come from the Israeli lobby. So I'll give you their proxies, the rjc, which is the Republican Jewish Coalition, apac, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer and John Paulson went together. They funded a PAC called MAGA Kentucky which is neither MAGA nor Kentucky but
D
when the ad any of them live
E
who know who are those three people they have been. Miriam Adelson is the gambling magnet who ironically makes money from the Chinese now gambling and not in Las Vegas.
D
And she's literally an Israeli.
E
Yeah, she was born there. Yeah. She's given over $200 million to the president. He puts her on the stage, he says that she's influenced his own policy and attitudes toward Israel and so she's trying to buy a congressional seat in Kentucky along with the rest of these groups that are probably by the way getting her money as well. There's, there's also another interesting faction called Christians United for Israel. They're really just another wing of APAC and RJC that's been used to co opt Christians into supporting their position. And their position is more war, it's more strife, it's more bombs, it's send more foreign aid. And those are the things that I've been voting against. So the real reason that this race is a serious race and I may lose is because a foreign lobby is, has fully funded to the extent that they've never done in any Republican race ever. Before my opponent.
B
Well, in Miriam's defense, she, she outright purchased the White House. Why wouldn't she be able to afford a, a congressional seat from Kentucky? That's what she's thinking. She's like, yeah, we've got money and you just, we have to cover this stuff because we just have to be aware. This is what's happening. They want into the schools. They want to change the definition of what anti Semitism is to bas noticing what's happening, what this foreign country is doing. This is, this is a takeover. America is occupied. There's no question at all that our government is occupied, that Trump's administration is completely occupied and they are not serving the American people. This is despicable. It shouldn't happen. If you are in Kentucky, vote, vote, vote for Thomas Massie. I, I'm going to, to hope and pray that he wins. Anyway, you guys switching gears, I guess it's kind of a part of this as well. This is the same kind of money that goes into pr. Public have seen it. That's a big piece of this Charlie Kirk story is the, the nastiness of the pr, the war on our minds trying to convince us that this Tyler Robinson story makes sense. It simply doesn't. I'm sorry, it doesn't make any sense. We all know it doesn't make any sense. We're going to pretend it's all because of Candace Owens tried to free Tyler Robinson. We're trying to get you to tell us a narrative that makes sense outside of fed sloppy text messages, full blown confession coming from a kid who is supposed to have like a 4.3 GPA. I believe in, in, in high school. This is interesting to me. Obviously we start to see that they're all fumbling all over the place, Andrew Kovet being at the center of that, the dirty tricks that he's getting caught working with these YouTubers and these really nasty people. One of these people being house inhabit Jessica Reed Kraus, right, He's been working with her. He, that was revealed a few, a few weeks ago. Totally unstable, manic alcoholic. And that's not coming from me. That's coming from her former employees, people who have worked with her and know her and also in part coming from her husband. So this is just hilarious because I told you guys this backstory of this conversation that I had with Andrew Colbet back when things were good, when he called me and he asked me, and in earnest if I was a witch because he saw that when people attack me, the rate at which something sort of boomerangs into their life is pretty fast. He was speaking about the Daily Wire. He was talking about Dennis Prager, I think it was specifically who had written this whole thing about me publicly. And then he fell down the stairs, obviously. That actually is very sad. David Horowitz, I believe, did this whole big piece. And then very shortly after, which was also very sad, I. One of my first events I ever did was for his Freedom Center. He passed away. I saw this recently. Alexis Wilkins, which, this was just funny. Did that whole weird thread about Russia and General Flynn and me and the Catholic Church all working together because she didn't understand what a retweet was. The day after she did that, Cash Patel's emails got hacked. It was super funny. And I was like, dang, Andrew Cole was going to be like, what? Anyway, House Inhabit has been the one attacking my husband as of, like, not as of recent, like over the last few weeks. She is the one that posted that totally freakish, obviously fake AI photo of George wearing a silk shirt. Here it is. It. Does it even look kind of real with Milo? Because she's just claiming that he's gay. Milo had, of course, had never met my husband when they lived in London at all. They did not run the same circles. Also, it was just terrible to imagine George wearing a silk shirt under a sports coat. That was the worst part of. Of all right there. And. But, you know, these are the people that they. People who are just dirty and will do these sorts of things. They're desperate for anybody that will support Israel. And the rebound of this boomerang, of this Daily Mail did a massive spread today on her marriage and what's going on behind the scenes. And this is the headline. Daily Mail is very savage about doing these sorts of things. But they wrote, MAGA Influencer House Inhabits Marriage Secrets revealed Insiders Global lid on Explosive escort claims Socialites call her effing insane behavior. And her husband's mortifying texts regarding her, which they published. Well, how did this come about? I. I guess they got interested because House Inhabit did the thing that she always does. It's 3am and she just randomly decides to attack someone. And that someone, her name is, that she attacked was Ashley Sinclair. Jessica Reed Krause is House Inhabit's real name, by the way. She randomly attacked Ashley St. Clair, who she used to be friendly with, because it's Tuesday and she's drunk, right? And Ashley didn't do anything to her. She's like, what the heck is this about? So Ashley decide to just come out and Tell the story about how she was with Jessica Reed Kraus when she found out that her husband was on some hooker websites. Now I didn't know this, but apparently there is a website where hookers can rate their clients so they can signal to one another. It's about staying clean and safe, I guess they can signal to one another that the person requesting services is safe and not going to beat them up or some crazed person. So they rate them and and Jessica Reed Kraus discovered that her husband was on this site and confided in Ashley St. Clair. And so Ashley St. Clair just went ahead and spilled all of the tea after she randomly caught a midnight 3am period between that period of time bullet from house and habit after too many drinks. So my daily Hit Mail did their due diligence. They went ahead and confirmed that the review was real, that it was his number. And I have to also just say it was a nice review, right? This is from the article. The article says there his number was with its own review quote he's a white man, safe to see and brought a donation as agreed. Read the post from October 5, 2024. Kraus became distraught. She left the table. St. Clair to the Daily Mail. I'll never forget watching your face as we read those reviews and you did the math and the review was while you were out of town. Out of town. The Daily Mail spoke to House Inhabit. Jessica Reed Kraus did not deny the incident, but she disputed the the characterization of it, telling the Daily Mail that her husband's number appeared on the app because as a public political figure her family is targeted by spammers and that she was confused at the moment and she had no idea what it was. And she has photo evidence that actually and guest witnesses that prove that her husband was actually at a friend's wedding when the review was posted. I don't know about that, guys. I don't know if she said she the account was inaccurate, designed to inflict harm and embarrassment on myself and my family. Girl, you do a pretty good job of that yourself. Actually, they also spoke to her husband. He said the number was his, but he wasn't really certain how it ended up on the Mr. Number app. Elsewhere in the article though, it gets to kind of the meat and bones of it. And it's her husband's text messages that he sent to other people about the state of their marriage. And it's really sad. It's actually really sad. It's what we see demonstrated in her behavior just online. Generally speaking, it's about how she treats him how she yells at him, calls him effing lazy. It's a perfect profile on sort of the destructiveness of who these operators are that are hanging around the White House and going after people drinking so they can get into, you know, Mar a Lago, completely sloshed and willing to try to inflict harm. Her co workers described her as a manic drunk, highly abusive, gets high on the abuse. And it really just, you, you zoom out and you go, these are the people that Turning Point is now dealing with. This is who Andrew Colbert has running his PR or a piece of his PR going out to these certain people. Why would you, why would you work with these sorts of dogs if you didn't want to get fleas? You know what I mean? And it's, it's when people are in a state of desperation, when no one wants to partner with them or work with them or believe believes in them anymore, when they can't do things the clean way and the right way, they resort to these sorts of miserable people who take swipes at people because of what's going on in their own home. They're always in glass houses. And it really is just remarkable. And it, I just think it's a real reflection on the state of politics today. And I just thought, man, that couldn't have been more of her perfect karma after all of the crap that she was putting out about my husband, who has nothing to do with dc, me, who has nothing to do with dc I want nothing to do with the White House. I'm completely embarrassed that I supported Trump in the past because of, you know, the fact that he completely flipped on his entire base. There's. It's used to be cool to wear a MAGA hat. No one would be caught dead wearing a MAGA hat nowadays. I guess maybe you could say the MYGA movement might be caught wearing a MAGA hat nowadays, but certainly not old maga, old school maga. Anyways, that's all I wanted to really say about that. We'll be right back after a brief break. All right, you guys, Are you doing all the right things for your health? But still wondering if there's more that you could be doing to support healthy aging. That's why I'm excited to tell you about Fatty 15, a science backed supplement built around C15, the first essential fatty acid discovered in more than 90 years. C15 was originally studied by Dr. Stephanie Van Watson when working with the US Navy to improve health of aging dolphins. Researchers later found out that low levels of C15 may impact how well our cells age and function over time. That's important because healthy cells are the foundation for long term wellness, including energy, sleep, metabolism and even cognitive health. Fatty 15 was developed to support healthy aging for all from kids to parents to grandparents. That's why award winning fatty 15 is now available as Pure Capsules, Delicious Apple Mint Gummies for teens and adults, and Yummy Berry Blast Gummies for kids.

Anyway, top comment from yesterday's episode they wrote Next they'll accuse Candace and George of being two weeks away from developing nuclear weapons. I don't even know what they could throw at us anymore. I feel like that way about Tucker too. I'm just like, okay. I feel like they've said everything and there's a freedom in that when people say everything because it just Gets beyond ridiculous Design rhythm writes, the fact that Erica didn't fire every single security officer and sue their company is the biggest red flag in world history. Well, actually, I'm just reminding you that she did tell me she was. They were preparing lawsuits against Brian Harpel and that doesn't seem like that happened. And it, as I showed you yesterday, there seems to be evidence that actually Andrew Colbett might have been in some sort of communication, maybe via the youtubers, those military bros with Brian Harpole. I don't know what's real. I don't know what's not real. Maybe they really. Maybe he went on Sean Ryan. I do believe the story, by the way, that he went on Sean Ryan without their permission. She told me that. And there definitely seems to be some evidence that that is true. That, that, that that entire PR disaster blunder happened without them knowing. We'll see. I'm assuming it's true anyway. I, I just don't know what to believe anymore when it comes to Turning Point usa. Certainly not when it comes to Andrew Colva and, and Erica Kirk. Actually, I had a journalist ask me, what are the questions you have for her? I'm like, look, I can boil it down to like three that I think are the most significant. Right? Or what Lies, Obviously the biggest lie being that the surgeon said that he had a steel neck. That feels like every reporter should just be demanding every day for some sort of clarity on why she would lie and why Andrew Colbett would lie and they would put words in the surgeon's mouth, why she would say that Andrew went rogue when she actually initiated the phone call and it was a three way phone call. Like, why are we being gaslit about that? That's weird. That's weird, right? That's. That would definitively be number one. Number two, AI Charlie. I'm sorry, no reporters are interested in that. That'd be pretty relevant if they cooked up a whole story about how Charlie, just before he died, pulled a complete 180 on his viewpoints on how he wanted his wife to stay home and raise the children and have a fulfilled life and suddenly was like, you know what? No, actually, if I die, I want you to take my place and also risk your life so that you might die and our kids will be left alone as orphans. Like, that doesn't feel good. It sounds like AI. They said they had a video. They're not presenting the video. Donors are saying that the video is completely AI and they were present and Charlie never said that. Like, how is that not the most viral number one story in the world, at least in America, that. That his wife could have faked something like that. Maybe, maybe she didn't. The video would certainly clarify it. Anyway, I'm definitively going to stay on about that. Let's get to some of your comments pertaining to today's episode. We have Kelly Martini writes, I pray Charlie keeps visiting your dreams and reveals everything that you need. Peace to process, facts to find for being his. David, God bless your friendship. It is everlasting. He knew it would be you. We love you and we all miss Charlie dearly. He was a magnificent light to this world. He certainly was. And I miss him too. I miss just being able to banter with him about certain things about certain people. I miss a sense of humor above anything else. And I will always resent that. That has not come across the public from his friends. Like they just sort of turned him into this. I don't know. Bot almost like all he cared about was this. And it had no flavor. It just wasn't the real Charlie. That Charlie was. He was very layered, very funny, very good at doing voices. That's another thing. Very good at mimicking voices. Like he could just do anyone's voice. It was kind of an incredible talent. I can't remember why he told me that. I think it's something to do when he was young or something, but that he was always practicing voices. But anyway, a day day. Gen Jean writes, Candace, let's gamble. Thank you for all you do. Crisis king. I think we do. I'm not a. I'm not a person who gambles. I don't bet. Right. I don't love that industry altogether, but I think this time I might just have to go to Vegas figuratively and gamble. Give a little bit of money. If I lose it and I get suckered. Oh, well, I think the video's precious. A very precious piece of this story if we can confirm if this was an entire op. So I'm with you. Dan Dangler writes. Appreciate you. Thank you so much. Monica writes, I love that TPUSA doesn't let facts influence their opinions. That takes serious dedication. Insert sarcasm. You, Baron, Tucker, Ian and more have to keep telling the truth. Christ is our truth and y' all are our warriors. Love you from Houston. Thank you so much, Monica. Sarah Lorette writes, Candace, may God continue to bless you on this journey. My daughter Madeline and I love listening to you together and we pray for you often. Today is her 12th birthday and her one wish is to have a shout out from her Favorite podcaster. Christ is king indeed. Go Max. Madeline or Madeline. Happy birthday. That was actually in the running for my daughter's names. I was very keen on Madeline. I was like, I love Madeline. It's such a beautiful name. And my husband overruled me. We went with Louise. But Madeline, it would have been a good name. You have a great name. So happy birthday to you. Looney Tunes writes in case you need a bit so that you can afford to sue the pants off of Jeremy Boring. Here you go. Thank you. Thank you very much. I will be running from them for the rest of my life. I am telling you, this is. Something ain't right. Something ain't right with those two. The last hiatus. Hey, big fans co I've heard a big fan CEO. So I've had this idea for a while and now it feels like the perfect time to share it. You get a million views per an episode. So if we all donate a single dollar per an episode, you will make millions a week. But we would only be spending $4. Let's call it the CEO boycott. You guys are the best. I absolutely love you. I loved that the other day, especially when they were calling for the boycott of our merch that it became our number one day of sales ever in the history of this show for merch like that. Stuff like that just makes me so happy. The comments are, I think I'm boycotting wrong. It's just amazing. And it really shows that these sorts of nasty campaigns don't work anymore. I mean, what are they fighting? Actually, sometimes I just get so exasperated, like, why are you upset that I'm actually mourning my friend who got murdered? And I want to have real answers.

Girl, winter is so last season and now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders that perfect hang on the patio sundress. Those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done. Hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear open that envelope. It's time for a little in person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic.
B
Everyone can see what this is. No one is buying this Erica Kirk is grieving bit. So why do you keep saying it? Like, just stop saying stuff. Just stop saying stuff. The words coming out of your mouth. Everyone can sense that you're bought, you're paid for. There's no truth in you like you. You. You keep ignoring the fact that she's a public figure, that she chose to be this public figure, that the excuse she gave us of her husband doing some 180 has been called into question credibly from donors. I always thought it was weird. I do get vibes, you know, it's like the White House correspondent or my vibes, like, not passing the sniff test. This is donor saying it never happened. You guys are going to keep lecturing us because people who are not grieving at all, who attended his memorial and were talking about merch and sales and dressed like they were going to the Kentucky Derby, That's. That's the dig on Alex Clark. People that were wearing high boots and standing over his memorial sites, like we're supposed to believe those are people that really love Charlie. That's. You're upset because you got beat by authenticity. Call it out. You blame me, even though I was the last to arrive to the party that Erica Kirk was off, because I couldn't. I didn't want to even visit, that I couldn't even process that I actually needed Erica Kirk to be real and authentically grieving more than other people needed her to. I needed that because I didn't have Charlie. I needed to believe that he at least died with the one thing that he wanted most. Our every conversation was about me chasing girls. Obviously, pre Erica like that, he, you know, he just. He wanted to have that companionship and that love. And so for me to have to get to the point where I am questioning whether he was completely manipulated from the very first time that he sat with her, that was hard for me. I had to be prepared and willing to grieve that as well. Grieving, knowing that he died and potentially didn't have that one thing that he wanted. Yes, he cared about family life more. He did believe the words that he said about women staying home and raising kids and adding more value and that men should be the ones working these ridiculous hours. So color me shocked that he would have changed his mind for something that he said for years in the last, you know, in the two weeks leading up to his death. Color me shocked. UFO rights. I only get to admire Charlie. May he rest in peace. Yeah, I wish. I really do wish that everyone could have known him and before he died. Like, yeah, no getting to know him posthumously. But you know what? There were. I was saying there's so many videos out there of Charlie, but I know they took a lot of them down. I do wish that they would put up the real Charlie. You know, he was a lot More than just a kid that was debating on college campuses. You know, maybe when his parents and his sister are which I don't think they'll ever be done grieving. But you know, when they're sort of ready, they'll start sharing more pieces of his childhood and things like that with the public. You hope for it. You never know. They've always been exceedingly private, but I, I think about them often. I know that they are truly grieving and I'll leave it at that. Crazy cat lady. Love that. I love cats writes can we get a George is the real gangsta merchant. We got to do some London going march. I got to convince him. He's just so private. He's so English about stuff. You know, he does. He doesn't even have social media. He doesn't even know what goes on. I don't. He doesn't even watch this podcast. He's like my priest. Have no idea what happens in this basement. I'll do my best. I'll work on it. Coco goes off, writes, please make an anti feminist hat. Thank you for everything you do to fight for freedom and truth. Oh. Regarding the people who watch this show who are feminist, I'm challenging you to join the book club and go for this book that I were starting next week. My book, really excited about this one, as you guys know. Make him a sandwich. You guys can get it on Amazon. You can get it. It will be slightly cheaper if you buy it from us. Makehimasandwich.com and people were writing me saying that they started the book and it's hilarious. As I said, it starts with this weird rap battle. I had one time with Cardi B on X when we got into a little, a little spat and then I was very shocked because Cardi B was like, why don't you go make him a sandwich? And that is how this whole idea, the entire idea for the book was born. As was a Cardi B rap battle. Any book that starts the rap battle is gonna be fun. So join the book club and while you are on the website, buy some merch. We've got some great merch, fun merch. Maybe we will have some new George merch. Try to convince them. We'll do my best. It's the easiest way to support the show. Easiest way to support independence so that we do not have to rely on, you know, corporatism really. I love being free, never going back the other way. Last comment from Dan Sully writes. Between insane lawsuits, propaganda and flat out lies, these people are grasping at straws keeping them with truth and evidence. We all know that you are honest and they are afraid of the truth. Oh, we're gonna win. I keep telling you that. As sure as I knew that Charlie was betrayed, I also knew that we were gonna win. Don't ask me why. You know, some things I guess are are truly metaphysical. Anyway, you guys, that is all that we have for this week. Again, if you have any tips pertaining to the White house correspondence dinner, 10K, no questions asked. Even if you hate my guts, it's fine. I will never reveal it and we can continue to hate each other forever. More tips@candaceowens.com we'll see you guys on Monday.

Title: STAGED? Erika’s VIRAL White House Correspondents Moment Comes Under Scrutiny
Host: Candace Owens
Date: May 7, 2026
In this highly personal and unfiltered solo episode, Candace Owens dives deep into the viral video showing Erika Kirk leaving the White House Correspondents Dinner—a moment that instantly garnered widespread attention and sparked accusations, empathy, and conspiracy theories. Candace raises questions about the authenticity of the footage, suggesting it may have been staged for media purposes. She explores the event’s broader context in conservative politics, with pointed criticisms of Turning Point USA, pro-Israel lobbying in Washington, and the power dynamics influencing the MAGA movement. Interwoven are follower Q&As, commentary on current events, and a behind-the-scenes look at right-wing digital warfare.
Timestamps: 00:30 – 20:30
Call for Transparency:
Candace opens by stating it's been 35 days since she requested footage of Charlie Kirk naming his wife Erika as successor, to no avail. She finds the secrecy "very odd" (00:30).
Questioning the White House Correspondents Video:
She recounts the events of the dinner: bridal-style pre-party photos, reports of shots fired, and Erika’s emotional viral clip saying she wanted to "go home".
Outrage & Online Blame:
Candace details how, despite her publicly advocating for Erika’s privacy, blame was turned on her by the conservative internet for Erika's distress:
$10,000 Bounty & Direct Tips:
Candace issued a reward for concrete information on who shot the video. She claims multiple tips came in—one, from a political operative, alleged the entire episode was staged by digital media teams tied to Turning Point USA for viral effect.
Skepticism Toward Official Narratives:
Candace voices disbelief at the uniform online outcry and the sudden narrative pivot that "Trump needs a ballroom," calling it “a new world of make believe.”
Timestamps: 20:30 – 30:30
About the Digital Warfare:
Candace says this moment is exemplary of wider mind-manipulation via social media bots, PR plants, and narrative steering by organizations closely linked to right-wing influencers and pro-Israel interests.
Critique of Pro-Israel Lobbying & Policy Influence:
She ties recent digital and offline PR pushes (e.g., the "October 7th Experience" trailer for churches) to increasing Israeli foreign influence, lobbying, and attempts to shape evangelical public beliefs.
Timestamps: 23:43 – 26:25
Timestamps: 30:30 – 38:45
Personal Attacks and ‘House Inhabit’ Drama:
Candace recounts attacks on her husband from Jessica Reed Kraus (“House Inhabit”), a known social media personality allegedly tied to Turning Point USA’s PR team.
Circular ‘Karma’ in Online Attacks:
Candace finds satisfaction in scandals hitting her detractors, seeing it as poetic justice for what she calls smear campaigns.
Timestamps: 41:35 – 46:10
Key Unanswered Questions:
Comments from Listeners:
Responding to audience remarks, Candace clarifies her continued skepticism and commitment to uncovering what she describes as intentionally obfuscated truths about Charlie Kirk’s legacy and the influence of Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA.
Timestamps: 44:08 – 49:32
Owens’ Personal Grieving and Betrayal:
Candace expresses pain not just at losing Charlie Kirk, but at discovering (in her view) how his memory and legacy have been managed by those around him.
On Public Perception:
Owens insists that authenticity is winning over PR spin—even amid public attacks on her.
Timestamps: 49:32 – End
On the Staged Video Allegation:
“Apparently this freelancing operative was positioned in advance with the specific instruction to take that exact video at that exact place, at that exact time.”
— Candace Owens (13:10)
On Widespread Narrative Coordination:
“All of these people just at the same time thought the same thing and tweeted out that Trump...needs the ballroom. It never existed for some reason...doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.” (17:45)
On Grief and Betrayal:
“For me to have to get to the point where I am questioning whether [Charlie] was completely manipulated from the very first time that he sat with her, that was hard for me.”
— Candace (46:58)
On PR Smears & Hypocrisy:
“Her coworkers described her as a manic drunk, highly abusive, gets high on the abuse. And it really is just remarkable...Turning Point is now dealing with...these sorts of dogs.” (38:18)
Candace maintains a critical, conspiratorial, and at times satirical tone throughout—a mixture of personal vulnerability, sardonic humor, and direct confrontation with her critics. The section about Erika Kirk is investigative and deeply skeptical, while discussions about online drama and PR attacks are more gossipy and acerbic. Audience Q&A segments are lighter, with an intimate, community vibe.
For those who missed the episode:
This summary captures Candace Owens’ central arguments, the ongoing drama surrounding Erika Kirk and Turning Point USA, critiques of pro-Israel influence and digital spin, and both the personal and political stakes she sees in unraveling these viral moments. Expect candor, skepticism, and a heavy dose of intra-movement conflict.
