Where was he? I don't know. I find this to be a little weird, but let's be clear, by no means conclusive of anything other than perhaps a strange coincidence. And maybe this is why he feels so impassioned and wants to keep speaking about it. Also, you know, he's a gubernatorial candidate. Makes sense. This would be a political moment to show that you're a leader. And look, life is not exactly an Agatha Christie novel, right, where the guilty party somehow inserts himself into the investigation. So I park that aside, I keep pushing and I'm following more public leads. But also I, I do recall in the back of my mind that both Phil and Tiffany Barker and as it would turn out, another person that lives on that street with the last name Shumway kept trying to get me to look into Governor Cox because he's, according to Tiffany, very supportive of the trans stuff. You should look into Tiffany. Tiffany said into Governor Cox. And similarly, the Shumway emails were like, you should look into this Governor Cox because he, he likes trans. So they're open and close. That feels to me always just like fed bait left versus right, right. He likes trans people. So it has to be him. Okay. Oddly, look, I'm just following the facts here. Nothing in my investigation has made me ask a question further about Governor Cox on that day. Nothing came up organically. So I'm not going to push it just because he's a Democrat. And actually where I was at at this process. What's that? Oh, pushing that because Governor Cox is his. Sorry, I said Democrat because he's his. You know, he's warring with him, and that's the candidate that he wants to go after. And I actually start noticing as I'm looking into this investigation that everyone who was involved on that day, I mean, literally the person who spots the shooter on the roof, military, the person who says, oh, the. The He. I just. Cap. Happened to be in the right place in the flag of halls where I saw him running, also in the military. He. And I'm starting to think, is it possible that this is like a military hit? I don't know, but I'd like to find out. Next came a tip that you guys saw me receive live on the show. Someone paid, a woman paid to say, candace, there's more footage of the shooter on that day, and you should know that that shooter was with a woman. Right. That's a tip that I received that that woman. The shooter was with a woman and he was seen changing clothes and that they've cut out that footage. So I reach out to that individual and the name that they give me for the house that this took place in, and I'm able to confirm that this property is nearby, is owned by Lyman Branch. So now I want to be clear. I could not attach whether or not yet this individual is related to Phil Lyman, but he's been honest about the fact that his family lives around there a lot. Like, you know, the steel lineman clan is. Is here. So I was a little bit on alert, maybe like a lot of bit on alert, and I decided to just do a. A basic search into Phil Lyman. Like, is. Is his family in the military? I don't know. I'm asking the question to myself, and I'm quite surprised that it's impossible for me to find out who his mother and father are. Like, I literally don't know what goes on in Utah, but it seems like a very weird thing to me that you would be able to keep information about who your mom and dad are private if you're running for governor. Right. So I just simply ask Nick. I haven't shared any of this with Nick because I know that he worked for Phil Lyman and I'm not accusing Phil Lyman of anything. I'm just like trying to actually shut that down. And he says, I actually, I don't know whose mom and dad are. I'm like, what do you mean you don't know? Okay, weird, whatever. And then decide to keep pushing on military leads that I have people that were on the ground that day who I've confirmed were in the military. Anyways, then something insane happens. Nick calls me and he's a little bit undone. He tells me that Phil Lyman has just showed up at his house. Now, I want to be very clear. Nick is 20 years old. He's a 20 year old UVU student and a major super fan of phil as of 48 hours ago. And he's very uncomfortable. And he tells me that Phil randomly messaged him saying that he was nearby, in town, in town rather, and asked Nick for his address, something he never had. And Nick, quite naively, and being this Phil super fan, thinks that Phil's going to come and offer him a job because he's been. Been so on it investigating this Charlie Kirk assassination. And that's not what happens at all. Instead he says that he shows up, he opens the door for him, and his energy is very weird and he's asking him weird questions. He's looking out of the window nervously. He sits down at the table. He's asking him questions about my investigation. I'm like, I shared nothing with Nick. I literally was asking him, can you go here, pick up this, whatever it is. And he is thinking, this is getting weird. I said, what specifically did he, did he say to you? Well, he tells me that Phil has also set up a time to meet with Nick. Ian Carroll. Okay, so Ian Carroll is conducting his own separate investigation. We are not collaborating at all. But Ian Carroll publicized that he was going up to Utah because he wanted to be on the ground physically by himself, and he was reaching out to people that, who, who had been speaking about having been there. And Phil Lyman is so gracious that he offers to give him a tour. And Nick tells me, he's like, that's really weird now because we're like two weeks on from this shooting and Phil Lyman lives four hours away. So that's, that's very, very gracious of him to do, but his energy isn't good. And then he mentions Governor Cox and he mentions Tyler Boyer of Turning Point USA and says that again, this is according to Nick, that Tyler Boyer and the Lyman have been speaking and that they are, you know, really going to make Governor Cox and I'm paraphrasing here, but apparently there's a another Utah event, USU event coming up and Governor Cox is supposed to speak and Phil Lyman intimates that like, you know this, at this TPUs event, Governor Cox isn't going to look great. I'm like, what? He then tells him, I'm going to go, if you don't mind, I'm going to take a phone call in my car. So he's just idling in a 20 year old's driveway who just happened to work on his campaign. And he's on the phone and this is, he's why he's calling me, panicking. So I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what's happening. I don't know why he's being so weird. I don't know why he's asking me questions about this investigation. And I'm like, yeah, this is weird. This is very weird. So then I'm like, I'm, I'm honing in here. I'm like, what, what's going on? I feel like he knows something at the very least, maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I feel. And I begin actually searching through our tips box for anything related to Phil. Related to Phil Lyman. Maybe somebody else noticed something or knew something or he said something. And lo and behold, very early on someone just messaged us and said, hey, like you should probably ask more questions about Phil Lyman. Because every time I look into this investigation locally, him and his family members are popping up. And then that person tells me that his nephew had sort of done this public tour like Phil Lyman's nephew did this public tour, saying that he was going to walk the same route that the shooter walked near his grandmother's house and that they found. You guys remember this? They found the Converse footprint nearby his grandma's house. And he presented a map like, this is it. This is actually from his Instagram. He presents this map and his nephew's name is Shane. This again, this is all public. I'm only looking at things publicly. And let's just look at some of these posts from nephew Shane. I mean, first and foremost he's here, he's with his friends. Said, I took my friends to my grandma's house tonight and we retraced his steps and we took pictures in the exact place that the security cameras caught him. I've been through this new experience for the last few days. I'm still very glad to have attended and to support Charlie Kirk. And to see him. The last pic shows Converse brand footprints, and then he does hashtags, and here are him and the three friends. And by the way, I'm looking at his. The front on the right, and I'm like, I don't know. I'd like to know who that is at the very least. And I'd like to know. Everybody in this photo is. This is just interesting. Like, you guys are. Are in the staircase and posting side by sides. Like, they put the side by side photos of them in the staircase. And I just was like, I need to just know more about you, and I need to know more about these two individuals who I couldn't find on his friends list. And they certainly hadn't liked the photo, or else I would have messaged them directly to figure out who they are. And, yeah, I found that very strange. And so I messaged Nick and I asked him whether or not he had ever received any images or videos from Phil directly. At the very least, we can see his line of vision, so I can figure out where exactly he was when the shots ran out. And I'm wondering if, like, we can maybe get some footage that we didn't have before when the shots ran out. And also, by the way, metadata is king. That's kind of been very. It's good to see, because then I can put it in my timeline. That's why I love metadata. I can say this exactly happened at this time. Strangely, Phil kind of freaks out. He doesn't want to share those photos with Nick, and he asks him explicitly, whose side are you on? Whose side are you on? I thought we were all on the same side. We're all trying to catch Charlie Kirk's killer one way or the other. You. You inserted yourself into this, got on the phone with me. I was not even trying to make any communication with you. I literally am just asking questions. And now all of a sudden, it's like, oh, you don't want to answer any questions. You do want to share anything. And he tells me that yesterday, Phil Lyman just calls him and he shouts at him, like, who the f. Do you think you are? Kind of a deal. You know what I mean? Like, who are you to ask me for anything? I already gave my photos to Taylor Hansen. And so at that point, I was like, look, you've been great, Nick, but I don't want you being shouted out. I don't want you feeling comfortable in your own home. I would like you just remove yourself entirely from the boots on the ground elements of this investigation. I don't think Phil is acting in a way that I perceive to be stable given the fact that again, he inserted himself in this investigation. And we're asking, this is my car on the street? Okay, you want to be helpful? We're asking you to be helpful. And now all of a sudden you're showing up at 20 year old's house and you're being weird. I don't like it. I don't, I don't, I don't like it at all. And I said I, I could reach out to Phil directly by myself. And I did. I reached out to both Phil and I reached out to his nephew Shane and I asked for them to identify the guys in that photo. Like I said, I was interested in who those individuals were because I couldn't find it on his friend list. And in response, Shane immediately takes his profile private and Lyman, Phil Lyman leaves me on red. So I am now left in the predicament where I need to just ask the public if you are one of those two kids that are in the photos there. I would love to ask you some questions since you publicized this tour. I mean they even did the full video walking through where he walked. And you know he said, my uncle, he even posted, he posted Phil Lyman. So my uncle was with Charlie. This is the video that they posted. Everything was done publicly. And now I'm like, okay, you could maybe, maybe you have something that's helpful I want to ask you about. Could you send me that photo, you send me that video, you send me all of this stuff. And now I'm getting radio silence. So unfortunately, because I need to figure out what happened on that day, I'm turning to the public to try to identify those people and anything else that you may know that may help put things together for us again. Please reserve the tips@candace owens.com for actual tips related to the questions that we are asking and uh, not for just comments, those sorts of things, videos that you'd like me to watch or things that you'd like to do to point me into a different direction. Please just tag us on social media so that we can try to manage this process better. Anyways, you guys giving you a lot, a lot of weird stuff going on. Just need to know what on earth happened on that day. Let me get to some of your comments here. First, want to tell you about American financing because the Fed has finally dropped interest rates and that's great news for American homeowners. Expensive have. Expenses have been a major burden on families. Wages are flat Prices keep climbing and for many, the only way to make ends meet is to lean on credit cards.

Call American Financing today. The number is 800-795-1210. Again, that's 879-51210 or visit american financing.net Owens that's american financing.net Owens all right you guys, so what do you think? Is, is it weird for a gubernatorial candidate to arrive at a 20 year old's house? Yes, I can answer that for you. That is weird. That is very weird. That was weird. Okay, there's no way around that. And again, hopefully he will answer and he will just send me some videos and that will be. Yeah, that'll be. Case closed. And maybe he doesn't want to help anymore. That's fine. But you can't insert yourself and then pretend you're under attack when people then go, hey, can you answer some basic questions? Marzi is writing to us. She writes, looking into the bullet made me think of the poisoned bullet. When hitmen intentionally use a bullet to cause a lot of damage from tumbling and fragmentation, this is done by keyholing the round to tumble or bounce into the body for internal, internal damage causing many wounds. I actually did not know that at all. I'm super ignorant on the topic of ballistics and things that are actually done. That is I never even heard about keyholing. So thank you for sharing that. Caitlin Darrigan writes, Candace, as a journalism student with an insatiable thirst for the truth, you are a true model of real journalism. I hope to one day get the chance to work with you, keep doing everything that you do. May God continue to protect you and your family. I love you girl. Yeah, I mean, my insatiable thirst is to figure out what happened that day. My gut Instinct is that this was a military operation based off everything that I've seen and the lingering questions that I have and some other leads that we are working on. That's how I feel. And even when I was trying to find Ms. Mike Mitchell, I could find the Mitchell family. I don't know if it's his family, but the Mitchell name in that area was coming up for Air Force. And so, again, when I get into these places where I can't find any more information, I turn to you guys to help me out. But I find it very strange that you would protect somebody who's been on the force for 24 years. Like, what? You've always been a public figure, essentially. And I think Brooksby has some nervous energy there. When he's like, oh, he called me. That's just totally usual. It's not weird. It's like, nobody said it was weird. So why are you answering for something that nobody said? Little things like that. It's the same thing. Like, when I saw Tiffany's interview, it just. I. I just found it, like most of you did, to be odd, given the fact that the hitman was still on the run, that you would bring your nieces there. And she gave her explanation. And like I said, you can go to her Instagram. She has asked us repeatedly to send you guys to her Instagram where she explains why her. Why they decided to go back that early in the morning. And like I said, Phil Lyman was the one who got her the hit, or Phil Lyman's office, her sister got her the hit. On Good Morning America, Kristen Theorette writes, candace, I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. I agree that it's weird. The people closest to him are just moving on. I feel this whole story is very twisted, and you are the only one who is capable of unraveling the truth. Yeah. And sadly, the people that I am in partnership with on demanding more answers are not even people who were friends with Charlie Kirk. They're just like, obviously, this is wrong and this is weird. And I'm on the left. Maybe Max Blumenthal dropping. He dropped a bunch of articles last week, and I think he's got more coming out. Why is Max Blumenthal, who wasn't a friend of Charlie Kirk, more interested in what happened to Charlie Kirk than the people closest to him? That strikes me as very odd. Just odd. I mean, no element. They could, at the very least, name the donors, get a little bit of revenge, name the donors who were pressuring him, tell the truth about what was happening there. They won't do any. They're just like, oh, it's all good. It's all good. No, it's not all good, actually. Not all good at all. Bitsy writes, the whole world is a stage used to hurdle the cattle in the direction that they want to take us. It's all lies. I rejected all. Lord Jesus Christ is king indeed. Bitsy. Miranda Allen writes, I wish I could do more. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you find truth and also mourn a lost friend. God bless and keep you. Pray it works. I. I really do believe praying protection over the people who are trying to discover what happened is significant. It. It is. I. I really do believe that everyone needs prayer and protection at this moment. Cassie writes, many people I follow on social media have lost credibility with me because they are not asking any questions at all. I can't imagine calling Charlie a friend and not questioning any of this. Yeah, that's what's great. It's like, at the very least, I would expect them to get up there and be like, what are. What's up with these fed messages? This is weird. No, they're all just like, let's move on. And we're just gonna. His legacy is gonna be. We're just gonna continue the organization without him. I mean, like, I was thinking, if I'm Charlie and I'm looking down, I'm just like, what? Dang. I thought we were super close. Really feel like the vibes are not vibing there. I know Savannah would investigate. Savannah's crazy. Savannah. She will investigate. She'd be crazy. She was super crazy. She'd be wearing all pink going down to Utah. That's what Savannah would do. K writes, It's 1963 all over again. They don't like people asking questions. Furthermore, Ian being mentioned. Yeah, Random. And I called Ian. I was like, hey, just letting you know. Like, I don't know. I. I don't think he's going to necessarily put you on a tour, try to help you, because he's not being very kind right now to this poor guy, Nick, who was like a super Phil. I'm a super fan and I think that went sideways. Kaya continues prayer for you and him. You're getting close to something. Keep going. Christ is king. And then my producer has a note that there are a lot of comments asking about the microphone theory. Here's what I will say about that. I, when I first saw the footage, thought as well that something came upward. But when I looked at image from the side, the microphone is still on him afterwards. So, like, when you see it for on, it looks like it kind of disappears, but then it kind of shifts. When you look at the. When you look at the perspective slightly to the left, you see that it actually stays on him, and it's just in the fold. Again, I don't know enough about weaponry to say that that's possible or not possible, but I would imagine if anything did sling into him with that kind of a force, it would fall off. And I can tell you it doesn't fall off. There's another theory that I'm still looking into that has been presented that I think is definitely interesting. It's definitely interesting. And I'm trying to play my cards close to my chest as I ask certain questions. Probably we'll have more on that maybe tomorrow or the next day. But, yeah, I do think it's very weird that he was mic'd after he sat down. Tell you that that's never happened to me at a Turning Point event. They mic you backstage always. So, yeah, I thought that was strange. There's a lot of things that were being done for the first time that day, and I'm going. I'm planning on revealing all of them, by the way. I'm just waiting for everybody to, like, join me. Where. Where. Where are Charlie's homies at? Why you guys all silent? Something's not right. I know it's not right. Okay, we don't know now, but we know. You know. We don't know. No, but we know. And soon. We're gonna know now. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
