Date: January 26, 2026
Host: Jimmy Dore
Notable Guests/Voices: Candace Owens, Congressman Eli Crane, Political Commentators, Charlie Kirk (archival audio), Scott Jennings (satirical segment)

Main Theme & Purpose

This explosive episode investigates allegations that a prominent Zionist donor threatened Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), prior to Kirk's murder. Through leaked text messages, commentary from Candace Owens, and deep dives into the culture and financial workings of TPUSA, Jimmy Dore paints a picture of political and ideological coercion within the right-wing establishment. The show examines the power Zionist donors exerted over Kirk, the internal conflicts that arose as he shifted his stance on Israel, and the aftermath of his assassination—a scandalous mix of political influence, donor manipulation, and unresolved questions about the leadership and direction of TPUSA.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Threatening Message to Charlie Kirk (00:27–08:40)

• Jimmy Dore introduces the episode with background: Candace Owens secured and publicized a text from a key TPUSA donor threatening Kirk over his shifting support for Israel.
• The text, saturated with biblical allusions and dire warnings, accused Charlie of giving a platform to “anti-Semites” like Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, claiming he violated the Ninth Commandment and warning:
  Quote [Donor’s text, read by Dore, ~03:10]:
  "Be very careful, Charlie. You are in violation of the ninth commandment by bearing false witness against your brother Judah… Don’t be counted among the Edomites. It will be to your peril.”
• Dore reacts, calling it “mafia-style” intimidation:
  Quote [Dore, 05:00]:
  "If that doesn’t sound like a mafia threat—be careful, Charlie, you don’t want to be wiped out like an Edomite."

2. Candace Owens Breaks Her Silence (06:45–08:40)

• Candace Owens is the whistleblower, presenting texts, emails, and accounts that donor threats and internal sabotage marked Kirk’s final days.

• She claims that, absent public exposure, TPUSA would have “buried all of this”—covering for those she alleges tormented Kirk.

  Quote [Candace Owens, via Dore, 07:00]: “Those very same Zionists would have successfully staged a hostile takeover of his legacy… it should disturb you.”

3. The Donor Identified: Lori Cardoza Moore (08:40–12:16)

• Dore discusses strong evidence that the donor is Lori Cardoza Moore, a Christian Zionist activist with deep political reach.
• Moore’s own TikTok posts and videos echo the biblical language from the threatening text and she’s quoted as having directly admonished Kirk for “bearing false witness” and “collaborating with the enemy.”
• Dore plays audio/video of Moore doubling down on her theological rationalizations for threatening Kirk’s stance.

4. The Broader Context: Charlie Kirk’s Shifting Views and Fallout (16:21–19:24)

• Archival and commentator audio highlights Kirk’s increasingly critical view of Israel (“they’re going to ethnically cleanse Gaza”) and skepticism about U.S. policy toward Iran and Israel’s influence.

• Kirk questioned narratives around Israel, October 7th, and even Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to Mossad, leading to backlash from high-profile conservative Zionists (e.g., Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer).

  Quote [Charlie Kirk, 16:51]: “I just don’t think we should go to war with Iran... Is it a threat to America? Probably could be a threat to Israel, but is it a threat to America?”

  Quote [Political Commentator, 18:51]: “After that, he started getting publicly attacked... Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, the two biggest Zionist enforcers in the media…”

5. TPUSA Power Struggles and Cover-Up Allegations (19:24–25:52)

• Dore claims the new TPUSA leadership (Erica Kirk et al.) is deliberately covering up the donor threats, Kirk’s warnings, and is mainly focused on maintaining donor flows and protecting their financial interests.

• Alleges TPUSA has raised $200 million since Kirk’s assassination and details suspicious financial activities ("sending millions to a UPS mailbox...").

  Quote [Dore, 24:48]: “That’s what they don’t want to upset. They want your money, they want the Zionist money, they want everything to keep going.”

6. The “Make Heaven Crowded” Tour Controversy (24:48–32:09)

• Dore skewers new TPUSA event “Make Heaven Crowded,” headlined by Erica Kirk and Pastor Greg Laurie, amid Laurie's implication in ongoing lawsuits regarding child sex abuse and trafficking in Romania.

• Points out the tone-deafness and hypocrisy of this partnership, given repeated accusations and the event's financial sponsorship by TPUSA.

  Quote [Dore, 25:52]: “They’re going to headline a guy who’s currently being sued in multiple, multiple lawsuits about sex child trafficking in Romania...”

7. Exposing Systemic Abuse and Organizational Negligence (32:09–41:22)

• Dore and commentators read portions of lawsuits against Laurie and Harvest Christian Fellowship: details of systematic, long-term child sexual abuse, trafficking, and administrative cover-up.
• Dore connects similar red flags and rumors in Erica Kirk's past involvement with Romanian orphanages.
• Critiques the arrogance and lack of accountability of TPUSA leadership.

8. American Foreign Policy, NED & Oligarchy (41:22–53:21)

• Discussion pivots to Congressional votes on the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)—a “CIA cutout” according to Dore—and bipartisan compliance with foreign (notably Israeli) interests.

• Frustration with the uniparty system, the impotence of the grassroots, and systemic corruption.

• Congressman Eli Crane emphasizes the outsized importance of primary elections, the futility of voting in generals, and the need for principled candidates.

  Quote [Rep. Eli Crane, 51:25]: "The whole shooting match was the primary… Primaries matter, and it's already decided by the time the primary is over."

9. Satirical Segment: Scott Jennings (CNN) Call-In (54:45–60:08)

• Dore takes a satirical “call” from CNN’s Scott Jennings (voice acted), mocking mainstream media’s reflexive defense of Trump and conservative establishment.

• Jennings lists talking points absurdly justifying government overreach, foreign intervention, and even Trump “[shooting] someone on Fifth Avenue” (quoting Trump’s infamous boast).

  Quote [Scott Jennings, 58:24]: “Quite frankly, Jimmy, I can't foresee Donald Trump doing anything that I would have any problem with…”

  Quote [Jimmy Dore, 59:16]: “Tremendous work, Mr. Jennings. I've never seen the like.”

Conclusion & Takeaways

This episode contends that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was, at minimum, preceded by a sustained campaign of intimidation from powerful Zionist donors angered by his evolving stance on Israel. Through leaked texts, whistleblower testimony, and critical analysis of TPUSA’s leadership and donor culture, Jimmy Dore paints a picture of a right-wing movement more interested in donor appeasement and self-enrichment than principle or transparency. The story is further complicated by scandalous associations and hypocrisy at the heart of TPUSA’s new public face, underscoring an urgent need for accountability in both right- and left-wing political organizations.

For listeners who haven’t tuned in, this episode is dense with direct evidence (texts, audio), context (a full rundown of the Kirk–TPUSA rupture), and polemic—a searing case study of donor-driven politics, media complicity, and organizational decline in contemporary America.
