Alex Stein Defends Erika Kirk Against Candace Owens' Bride of Charlie Series Accusations

[00:00] Now, Alex, this uh next topic is

[00:03] sensitive. I know how close you were to

[00:05] Charlie Kirk, but another friend of his,

[00:08] someone who was very close to him,

[00:10] Candace Owens, is releasing a series

[00:12] focusing on his widow, Erica Kirk, and

[00:16] it doesn't look like it's going to be

[00:18] complimentary.

[00:19] >> President Trump says that Kirk has died

[00:21] after he was shot from a nearby building

[00:23] after being shot at Utah Valley

[00:25] University. The great and even legendary

[00:27] Charlie Kirk is dead.

[00:32] >> The cries of this widow will echo around

[00:35] the world like a battle cry. If anyone

[00:38] get to give him a kiss goodbye,

[00:41] that young man, I forgive him.

[00:46] >> Alex, that's a preview of the series

[00:49] that's going to be called Bride of

[00:51] Charlie. It's going to start later this

[00:53] month. Uh, what's your reaction to this

[00:57] entire project?

[00:59] >> Well, it would take me an hour to give

[01:01] you all my opinions on it, but I'll just

[01:03] say this much. Erica Kirk had nothing to

[01:05] do with her husband's death. That is

[01:07] just ludicrous to think that she would

[01:09] be involved whatsoever with killing

[01:11] Charlie. So, just if you put that aside,

[01:14] what is the motivation for Candace to

[01:16] come out with this? And yes, she is very

[01:18] popular. She's getting, you know, a lot

[01:19] of views. But to me, Rita, and you know,

[01:23] I'm not trying to uh be out of school

[01:26] when when I when when I say this,

[01:28] Candace was a big part of Turning Point

[01:30] at the beginning of it. She was close

[01:31] with Charlie. And this is just what I

[01:33] speculate.

[01:35] >> She is incredibly jealous that Erica is

[01:37] now the CEO of this thing. And I think

[01:39] that she is really sad that she's not

[01:42] the leader of it. And I've heard

[01:43] multiple times, I don't watch all of

[01:45] Candace's show, but I've seen multiple

[01:47] clips of her saying Turning Point USA

[01:49] should hire me. So, this is a a jilted

[01:53] lover. And I'm not saying that her and

[01:54] Charlie had that type of relationship,

[01:55] but she feels like she should be the

[01:57] CEO, and she sees Erica as the CEO. And

[02:00] so, that is why she's attacking her

[02:01] because I truly believe Candace knows

[02:03] that Erica didn't didn't have anything.

[02:07] She knows that Erica did not plan her

[02:09] husband's death. That's just ludicrous.

[02:11] That's insane. So I think what's

[02:13] happening now is that she's jealous that

[02:15] she is not leading turning point which

[02:17] she was there you know at the beginning

[02:18] she was very close to Charlie did help

[02:20] build it up. So I so to me I I I think a

[02:23] lot of this comes from jealousy because

[02:25] you can criticize Charlie he was

[02:26] criticized and now that she's CEO I

[02:28] think that you know sadly she's going to

[02:30] be fair game she's going to get

[02:31] critiqued but to accuse her of killing

[02:33] her husband that is just that crosses

[02:36] the line in my opinion.

[02:38] Alex Stein, thank you so much for your

[02:40] time
