Candace Owens Condemns Erika Kirk's Decision to Share Private Charlie Kirk Footage with Andrew Wilson
Candace Owens delivers a scathing response to Erika Kirk's decision to provide Andrew Wilson with private footage of Charlie Kirk and their children from September 8th, along with text messages between Erika and her mother. Owens argues this constitutes a profound disrespect to Charlie's memory and questions why such potentially precious final footage would be given to someone she describes as an "internet troll" rather than presented through official channels. The footage, allegedly showing Charlie watching a Bears game with his children, was presented by Wilson as evidence refuting the Fort Huachuca allegations, though Owens maintains it proves nothing about Erika's whereabouts. Owens expresses deep disturbance at what she views as exploitation of intimate family moments for public trolling purposes.
The Private Footage Controversy
Candace Owens expressed profound shock and disgust after learning that Erika Kirk had provided Andrew Wilson with private video footage allegedly showing Charlie Kirk with his children on September 8th. According to Owens, this footage, which shows Charlie watching a Cubs/Bears game on the couch with his children, represents potentially the last video ever captured of Charlie with his children.
Owens emphasized the sacred nature of such footage: "If you loved your husband and you loved your children, you wouldn't even be able to look at this footage without crying. You wouldn't even be able to look at this footage without balling, realizing it is the last, potentially the last, maybe she caught some on September 9th, potentially the last footage that you've ever captured of your husband with his children."
Questions About the Messenger
Owens questioned why Erika Kirk would choose Andrew Wilson as the vehicle for releasing this footage. She detailed Wilson's history and character, noting his confrontational style and previous criticisms of Turning Point USA. According to Owens, Wilson had regularly "lambasted Turning Point USA for feminism" until Erika "welcomed him into TPUSA headquarters."
The commentary included clips of Wilson's past behavior and language, which Owens described as "patently ghetto and trashy." She contrasted this choice with other options available to Erika: "You could go to Megyn Kelly. She's your friend. You could go to the Daily Mail. You've proven they're your friend. You could go to Kash Patel. You could have the president of the United States, who's your friend, publish it onto the White House Twitter feed."
The Fort Huachuca Connection
The footage was allegedly presented to debunk claims related to the Fort Huachuca story from December. Owens reminded viewers of the story involving Mitch Snow, who claimed to have seen someone he believed was Erika Kirk at Fort Huachuca. Owens maintained she took "every measure that I should have taken as a journalist to confirm the story."
However, Owens argued the September 8th footage proves nothing about Erika's whereabouts: "This is nothing shocking about this footage. Erika is not in this footage. As I've already covered extensively, we knew that Charlie was home. Frank Turek was the one that told us initially that Charlie was home on the 8th watching the Bears game, and then Charlie let us know as well because on his show the next day he recounted every minute of the Bears game."
Text Messages with Her Mother
Beyond the video footage, Owens revealed that Wilson also presented private text messages allegedly between Erika and her mother from September 8th. The messages included mundane conversations about banking, dinner plans, and the mother's health condition.
The text exchange included messages like: "Did you make it to the bank? I'm sorry. I am so much work and you're just tapped out," to which Erika responded, "No, you're fine. I love you. I just I'm trying to fit it in. I'm still at the bank. Charlie wants me to make him dinner, also. So, if I don't respond, I'm not ignoring you."
Owens emphasized these messages revealed nothing substantive: "We have learned nothing about where Erika is. At a bank? If these are to be believed, I have no idea if these text messages are real. I have no idea why they're coming from Andrew Wilson. I have no idea what they have to do with Fort Huachuca."
The Metadata Debate
Wilson apparently presented metadata from the footage showing September 8th timestamps as proof of authenticity. Owens dismissed this evidence, explaining that metadata can be easily manipulated: "Andrew Wilson is not even smart enough to know that you can just edit the metadata on your own phone for every photo that you have in your entire phone."
She referenced a tweet from Baron Coleman illustrating this point, where he edited metadata to claim he had photographed bottled water in Persia in March 1609, demonstrating how easily such information can be falsified.
Plausible Deniability Strategy
Owens suggested the use of Wilson as an intermediary was strategic, providing legal distance for Turning Point USA: "He can lie. Andrew Wilson can lie about everything. He has no official ties to Turning Point USA. He can present things to the public. He's just a chaos agent. And they can plausibly deny it in a courtroom."
She contrasted this approach with what she considered proper channels: "If you want to debunk things, go to this man. You can go to her cousin. He's your friend. You could go to Megyn Kelly. She's your friend... But you didn't do any of that. Because you wanted plausible legal distance."
Inconsistencies in the Narrative
Owens pointed out contradictions in the information provided about September 8th: "She never mentioned to me when I politely asked her when things were good about her whereabouts were on September 8th. She never said, 'Oh, I have footage of me.' She never mentioned the Bears game. She never said that she recorded Charlie with the children. This is all a brand new narrative."
According to Owens, the initial story differed significantly: "In fact, we were told he was with the nanny. Nannies, babysitters capture footage of your kids the whole time. Maybe she's sending it to Erika. Who knows? Why wouldn't Erika mention that to me?"
Character Assessment
Owens delivered a harsh assessment of what she perceives as Erika Kirk's character: "I'm done with the widow grift. It's expired. It's been a year now. It's over. I think Erika, in my opinion, I think she's insane. I think there is something very wrong with her. She kind of scares me. There's a real darkness there."
She continued: "I keep telling you guys she's nasty behind the scenes. Erika's much more like this behind the scenes, right? She just manipulates people by crying, but she's the one that's deploying these people."
Government Involvement Theory
Owens suggested the entire episode might represent a coordinated disinformation campaign: "When governments get nervous, when the military gets nervous, we learned about this when people who were in my book club when I was like, 'You absolutely must read Chaos and what the government does.' When you start to see these sorts of campaigns that are meant to distract, that to me feels like an intentional federal push."
She concluded with a strong statement: "I do find Erika to be some sort of an odd government pawn. I think that has been very clear to me that she is, from everywhere that she's with, the people that she partners with, the lack of answers that she provides, and doing things that a wife, a widow, would not naturally do."
Final Verdict
Owens ended her commentary with an unequivocal position: "There is something very wrong and deranged about Erika Kirk. And I will hear no more on the topic. It's like I'm asserting that as a fact after seeing this correspondence, which we should not have seen, and clarifies nothing."
Throughout her analysis, Owens maintained that the pending lawsuit will ultimately reveal the truth about the Fort Huachuca allegations and that she remains confident in her journalistic approach to the story.

It's sick. It's disturbing. I'm so
disturbed by it. Look, when I when I
recognize what he was saying this
footage was,
that she had handed this over to him, it
sickened me. I feel sick when I think
about it. So, I'm done with the widow
grift. It's expired. It's been a year
now. It's over. I want I think Erika, in
my opinion, is I think she's insane. I
think there is something very wrong with
her. She kind of scares me. There's a
real darkness there.
And if what I'm what I'm about to show
you and demonstrate to you does not
prove that to you, that there's just
something socially and emotionally
disturbed, then I don't think anything
will. I really don't. And don't make
excuses. Don't everybody grieves
differently me today.
Okay, so I'm going to tee this up for
you. Let me remind you of the bizarre
overreaction to the Fort Huachuca story
from last December. Regard Mitch Snow, a
man whose story I still I still, despite
being in the middle of a lawsuit, I deem
it to be credible. I took every measure
that I should have taken as a journalist
to confirm the story, to confirm what he
said. I was very clear um that I can
confirm where he was. I can confirm that
this incident took place. I can confirm
he was at Fort Huachuca. I can confirm
which hotel he was at. But what I cannot
confirm is his memory. He thinks he saw
um uh you know, someone
that to him he felt certain was Erika
Kark. He thinks he saw Brian Harpole.
That I I'm limited. I obviously can't
confirm that, but I did try to. I
reached out to Brian Harpole before I
had Mitch Harpole before I had Mitch on
my show and asked him for a clean
answer. I messaged this man like five
times. He never answered. He never
answered and simply said, "I would have
taken Brian Harpole's word over Mitch's
at that time." But they got crazy. But
this is when Erika suddenly started
doing the PR rounds. She asked She
asked, "Stop. Just stop." As soon as we
mentioned Fort Huachuca, things just got
crazy at at end of last year.
And you know, we haven't really picked
up that story since because we're going
to find out stuff. We've obviously been
collecting some other information, but I
have a pending lawsuit, so I'm going to
save that information for there. But
fast forward to today, we're now what, 9
months in a lawsuit away from having
covered that story.
And
I would also like to add the fact that
I'm very comfortable that I conducted
myself way above board in trying to seek
answers and get a confirmation from Ryan
Harpole. And I'm looking forward to
getting a real alibi through the court
system. It's just we're going to find
out. That's it. We are all going to find
out about Fort Huachuca. Like it's now
inevitable. There's a lawsuit.
And suddenly Erica introduces us to
Andrew Wilson over the summer.
Our the public life we are now being
introduced to Andrew Wilson, an
obviously dishonest and disingenuous
person who never cared about this case,
who called Erica too to kill
her husband,
uh, regularly lambasted Turning Point
USA for feminism and promoting these
these these archetypes until she
welcomed him into TPUSA headquarters.
And then everything changed. And he
doesn't know what's going on, but he's
just going to get in front of Turning
Point USA and um,
troll the public, I guess. It's
difficult to underscore
how patently ghetto and trashy he and
his wife are, okay?
His wife had five children out of
wedlock with three different men. This
is just we can't pretend this is
conservative. We can't pretend this is
like on the anywhere near conservatism.
They pious, religious, nothing of the
sort. I will not have it. This is not
Christianity. But I do want you to truly
appreciate who these individuals are.
You saw a lot of Andrew's character as
he lied to my face repeatedly, lied
about what happened 10 seconds ago. He
does not care. He will lie. Like he's
proven that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
But I do want you guys, since you didn't
know who they were, I didn't know who
they were, and Erica just gave them to
us, right? I do want you to to see
um see them. Like I I we just put
together this little reel of them. I I I
I find them to be truly just
I'm I'm shocked that they're going
further into relationship with these two
individuals. And I have to apologize in
advance here, because the language is
obviously debased, but I have to paint a
fuller picture. So, I will say, if you
are watching this podcast, and know a
lot of people who are underage, um do
watch this podcast, or parents are
watching this with their minor children,
I would offer that now would be a good
time for you to turn the volume down or
off completely. Okay, here we go. This
is just Rachel and Andrew Wilson. Here
you go.
>> I don't think that there's evidence to
support that Epstein was involved in
international uh sex blackmail
operations. There's actually a lot of
evidence that he was at least tied to
intelligence agencies, which doesn't
surprise me, because he was a banker for
Rothschild, and he was a investment
banker for other large uh banking
operations. So, that wouldn't surprise
me at all if he had intelligence links.
Most of these guys seem to.
Uh but I haven't seen any good
compelling evidence that this guy was
flying children around the world for
other people to have sex with and then
blackmail them. And that's where the
mythology part comes in.
>> Well, this is going to go viral, and a
lot of people are going to take me
seriously, and all they're going to
remember is that I told you that you
couldn't put down the Duncan Donuts long
enough to make an argument. Now, can you
make one or not?
>> Oh, you know, this is schoolboy talk.
This is schoolboy talk.
>> down to a woman the way you do.
>> what you think a real man
>> man. You're actually very feminine,
>> you think a real man is.
>> You're you're a very feminine man.
>> Yeah, nobody cares what you think real
men are.
>> Can you tell me all of the downsides of
Donald Trump killing pedophiles in the
Middle East?
>> [laughter]
>> Um first of all, do you know every
single person Were those school girls
pedophiles?
>> It's institutionalized in the Iranian
constitution.
>> Just tell me, no, were the were the 200
school girls pedophiles? You want to
make sure that they're alive so they can
get raped?
>> You're a dyke. Don't talk about my wife,
you stupid Shut your mouth.
Shut your stupid mouth.
>> Your wife with the three baby
>> I just say, dyke?
>> with the
>> Sorry, doll. I'm sorry, dyke. Is she
morally inconsequential in comparison to
your licking?
>> Keep shaking, Keep crying,
BECAUSE YOU ONLY THOUGHT YOU COULD COME
AROUND
>> I'll shake and I'll say everything with
the power [laughter] and vigor in my
voice because I have strength and I'm
NOT GOING TO I'M NOT YEAH, I'VE GOT
OH, YOU'RE GIVING UP. YEAH.
>> I'm not GIVING UP RIGHT NOW.
>> MENTAL STRENGTH.
>> HEY, you were brave
>> Shut up, woman. Quiet.
You what you did was you were a savage
when I was unwilling as a man to pick
your ass up and throw your ass out the
window, which I can do in 5 seconds.
>> This is TPUSA 2.0.
Listen, that just it just you can't
There's no defending this. There's no
pretending it's not happening. They're
hosting this guy. They're asking him to
come in to teach people how to debate.
They want access to middle schoolers,
mandated access to middle schoolers and
your children. This is what they're
partnering with. You can't you you
cannot ignore those facts.
Charlie would have never ever ever
welcomed Andrew Wilson into the Turning
Point USA 1.0 fold, okay, Erica Kirk.
It's no problem.
Again, at the same time she's
maintaining this I holier-than-thou
Oh, I just can't believe what Candace is
doing is just so horrible to be
investigating my husband's murder
and all the Lord the Lord will take care
of things. And I keep telling you guys
she's nasty behind the scenes. Erica's
much more like this behind the scenes,
right? She just manipulates people by
crying and but she she's the one that's
deploying these people. Now, fast
forward to sometime in the wee hours of
the morning last night cuz that's when
Andrew is up. That's when he does his
streams. That's when he raises money on
his streams because he can't wake up
early as he told me and PBD like he's
he's a night owl. And he claims that
he's in possession of a video that is
going to debunk the Fort Huachuca story.
We don't actually need that. We're in
court. We're good. We're going to handle
that. We I'm on top of it. Of course,
the video he presents absolutely does no
such thing, but that's beyond the
relevant point here. What he presents is
a private video of Charlie Kirk with his
children on September 8th, a video that
the world has never seen. Okay, he says
Charlie is watching the Cub game with
his children on the couch. So, I want to
clarify that. This footage on September
8th, if this is actual footage from
September 8th of Charlie on the couch
would be potentially the last footage
ever captured of Charlie with his
children on Earth.
Like I just want you to process that.
How precious that footage would be.
If you loved your husband and you loved
your children and you you wouldn't even
be able to look at this footage
without crying. You wouldn't even be
able to look at this footage without
balling realizing it is the last
potentially the last maybe she caught
some on September 9th. Um potentially
the last footage that you've ever
captured of your husband with his
children.
You certainly would not be giving it to
anyone.
Least of all Andrew Wilson to troll the
internet.
But that's it. He does he presents this
footage
and I'm going to show you it.
>> Who's paying for this, huh?
>> 10 days.
>> While you stay true to your dreams,
let's stay true to you.
>> It's the Cub Bears.
>> Go Bears.
>> And sorry, I said Cubs. I should have
said Bears. And to be clear, this is
nothing shocking about this footage.
Erica is not beast in this footage.
Um as I've already we've covered
extensively, we knew that Charlie was
home. Frank Turek was the one that told
us initially that Charlie was home on
the 8th watching the Bears game and then
Charlie let us know as well because on
his show the next day he recounted every
minute of the Bears game. So if this is
footage from that particular Bears game,
this is not shocking. So I no one
understands why she would give this
footage out.
No one has Erica could have just come
out and given a clean statement herself
if she wanted to present this as some
sort of evidence which it wouldn't be.
Um she could do it herself.
She could she could literally go on to
Charlie Kirk's platform which used to be
a respectful platform. It isn't anymore
obviously.
And she could say, "Here's footage that
I want to show you of my husband, my
late husband who I love so much. This I
can't even look at this footage. It
brings tears to my eyes. But I wanted to
show it to you because I wrongly think
it debunks Fort Huachuca, whatever." Or
maybe just presenting the footage in
general to the public because it's the
captured footage of your husband at home
as Andrew Wilson is claiming not her by
the way. We never get these official
statements from Andrew Kolb, who is the
official spokesperson for Turning Point
USA. They basically try to send it in a
direction that's not exactly legally
clear. He can lie. Andrew Wilson can lie
about everything. He has no official
ties to Turning Point USA. He can
present things to the public. He's just
a chaos agent. And they can plausibly
deny it in a courtroom. They can say,
"Oh, well we are He does not He's not an
official spokesperson for Turning Point
USA. This is not what Erica told him
when she sent him the footage. He's
lying and he's happy to be that person
for them."
But I just want to talk about the
lack of dignity
and respect given to Charlie's memory.
Okay, beyond this point no one will ever
convince me that Erica left her husband.
There's there's no way. I could not go
through footage as his friend.
I could not go through or watch footage
of me and Charlie.
It it hurt me. It It hurt me. It brought
tears to my eyes. It It was not
something that I could do. The idea
of losing your husband in such a public
way.
Okay?
Finding, having in your possession
footage, which she never mentioned to me
when I politely asked her when things
were good about where she whereabouts
were on September 8th. She never said,
"Oh, I have footage of me. I was She
never mentioned the Bears game. She
never said that she recorded Charlie
with the children. This is all a brand
new narrative. Okay? Which is different
from what she told me.
When they were publicly saying Candace
was his friend, we're going to go sit
down with her. We're going to have his
pub. Nobody mentioned Erica recording
Bears footage of Charlie with the kids.
I will say that. In fact, we were told
he was with the nanny. Like the nanny
Nanny's babysitters capture footage of
your kids the whole time. Maybe she's
sending it to Erica. Who knows?
Why wouldn't Erica mention that to me?
And if she really wanted the footage
out, why not give to somebody more
respectable?
You have zero
respect for Charlie or your children, by
the way.
Or his legacy.
To give that footage, that what should
be precious footage.
Okay? Precious footage.
To an internet troll.
A chain-smoking internet troll and his
trash wife for the purposes of trolling
the internet only to confuse matters.
This is not a debunk of anything.
Nothing at all. And you don't need to If
you want to debunk things, go to this
man.
You can go to her cousin. He's your
friend. You could go to Megyn Kelly.
She's your friend. You could go to the
Daily Mail. You've proven they're your
friend. You can go to Cash Patel. You
could have the president of the United
States, who's your friend,
publish it onto
the White House Twitter feed.
But you didn't do any of that.
Because you wanted
plausible legal distance.
Because you did not want to tie up
people who are reputable, you wanted
somebody who prides himself on being
disreputable, who does not care,
who's willing to lie for cash. He does
not care at all. He's like, "I will say
the thing." We watched him do that live
over and over again on this show.
And you did that for what purpose?
I think to distract from the
investigation. I think it proves that
you had no respect at all for Charlie,
your marriage, your children. It's sick.
It's disturbing. I'm so disturbed by it.
Like when I when I recognized what he
was saying this footage was,
that she had handed this over to him, it
sickened me. I feel sick when I think
about it. And by the way, guys, it's
about to get sicker.
Cuz she's also going to sell her mom.
Okay?
In addition,
he alleges that Erica supplied him with
a private text communication between her
and her mother from September 8th.
Again, nothing about these messages is
going to tell us where Erica is. We're
not going to be able to say whether
she's on Fort Huachuca base, whether
she's in Arizona. I've never said that
she's in Fort Huachuca.
I couldn't tell you. I don't have
Mitch's eyes and I these people have
been dancing around just giving an
answer. They'd rather file a lawsuit
than answer a text message. It's
bizarre.
But here is the text message thread that
he showed
about her,
apparently between her and her mother.
She's giving this information to Andrew
Wilson. Like I I cannot process this in
my mind.
Mama Low,
her mother writes,
"Did you make it to the bank? You make
the bank? I'm sorry. I am so much work
and you're just tapped out." Erica says,
"No, you're fine. I love you. I just I'm
trying to fit it in. I'm still at the
bank."
Doesn't say what bank.
Doesn't say where the bank is.
"Charlie wants me to make him dinner,
also. So, if I don't respond, I'm not
ignoring you." The time is 4:13 p.m.
They go on. It's 5:00
Her mother writes, "The scale reaches
100.8
after a late lunch." So, she's talking
about her own weight and illness.
And then Erica writes back, "Do you like
broccoli soup?" I don't know why we're
being Why are we putting this This is
totally odd. This doesn't tell us
anything.
And then
uh the mother replies, "Yes, please. Use
only the flowers, not the stems."
Okay? Stems kill, she writes.
Stems connect to flowers, throw out.
Erica responds at 7:18 p.m. It says,
"Okay.
How are you feeling?"
Her mother at 9:20 p.m. says, "Okay, my
tremors are intense."
Then Erica writes back, "Please make
sure you eat."
We have learned nothing about where
Erica is.
Uh at a bank?
If these are to be believed, if I I have
no idea if these text messages are real.
I have no idea why they're coming from
Andrew Wilson. I have no idea what they
have to do with Fort Huachuca. I really
don't understand what they have to do
with Fort Huachuca. It does nothing but
demonstrate Erica's character. And
that's why I wanted to harp on this
because it's it's so disgusting that you
would sell your sick mother
and your the last memories of your
husband with your kids to Andrew Wilson
for the purposes of trolling. That's
all. This is just a troll. There's
nothing that's been clarified here.
It's just meant to confuse people.
And then he says, "Well, the metadata
shows."
And then he keeps showing the September
8th metadata. Like, Andrew Wilson is not
even smart enough to know that you can
just edit the metadata on your own phone
for every photo that you have in your
entire phone. Every photo, you could
just take it, go through it, and you can
edit the metadata to say whatever you
want. And I think it is best illustrated
illustrated by Baron Coleman's tweet. He
wrote back this.
He wrote, "Most people don't know, but
bottled water dates back centuries. Here
is a rare picture from March of 1609
showing a bottle of bottled water in
Persia. Trust me, bro." And he just
edited the metadata to say that he took
this photo
on March 23rd in 1609.
Andrew didn't know this.
Nor does he care. He's meant to be a
chaos agent. We're aware of what those
people are. When governments get
nervous, when the military gets nervous,
we learned about this when people who
were in my book club when I was like,
"You absolutely must read chaos and what
the government does." Then when you
start to see these sorts of campaigns
that are meant to distract, that to me
feels like an intentional federal push
that wants you to focus on this or focus
on debunking this or responding to this.
And that's why I say it's really
important to remain focused. I uh do
find Erica to be some sort of a
odd government pawn. I think that has
been It's very clear to me that she is
uh the from everywhere that she's with,
the people that she partners with, the
lack of answers that she provides, and
doing things that a wife,
a widow, would not naturally do.
Partnerships that you would not
naturally make with people. Uh
people like Andrew Wilson and Rachel
Wilson. It's It is just unmistakable to
me
that there was something very wrong and
deranged about Erica Kirk. And I will
hear no more on the topic. It's like I'm
asserting that as a fact after seeing
this correspondence, which we should not
have seen, and clarifies nothing.
