Candace Owens Offers $10,000 Bounty to Uncover Truth Behind Staged Erika Kirk White House Correspondents Dinner Video

[00:00] If we are able to confirm this that this

[00:02] entire shot was staged,

[00:06] what will they say next? Last week, we

[00:09] put out a bounty. I was not playing

[00:11] around. I said $10,000.

[00:14] $10,000 for more information regarding

[00:17] what? Well, we were interested in that

[00:19] video of Erica Kirk departing the White

[00:21] House correspondence dinner. a dinner in

[00:24] which we, the general public, for some

[00:27] odd reason, we got into trouble for it,

[00:29] right? I don't know why we got grounded,

[00:31] but we got grounded immediately. They

[00:33] were coming out. The messaging was that

[00:35] it was our fault that this happened to

[00:37] Erica. Like, suddenly, we got to watch

[00:39] Erica. We didn't do anything. We were at

[00:42] home. Mo most most of us were eating

[00:44] dinner with our family. Suddenly, we

[00:47] learn via the internet that Erica is in

[00:49] Washington, DC at a press dinner. Before

[00:53] she gets there, she's she's taking

[00:55] bridal shots or something. That was that

[00:57] part was weird. No, nobody's talking

[00:58] about that enough. That was weird.

[00:59] Here's Erica before the White House

[01:01] correspondent dinner.

[01:04] She carries light behind her eyes

[01:08] when the dark

[01:14] and rational people were wondering, "Hey

[01:18] Erica, why are you in why are you inside

[01:21] of the sheer curtains? That's that's a

[01:23] that's a pretty classic bridal shot.

[01:24] What are you doing there? What's

[01:26] happening?" We knew that we were

[01:28] probably off to a bad start. Next thing

[01:30] we know, we're being told that there

[01:33] were shots fired. And then there's

[01:34] another video of Erica that comes out

[01:36] and it's going viral. And she says that

[01:38] she wants to go home. Here it is.

[01:48] >> So we said instantly, yay. Okay, good

[01:52] idea. Not to boast, but that's actually

[01:55] kind of been our idea, right? That's our

[01:56] idea. Erica, go home. was the general

[01:59] public's idea for a very long time and

[02:02] we were being told that that was not

[02:03] acceptable. But we were happy to let her

[02:05] take credit for the idea and just get

[02:06] home. Next thing we know, not only does

[02:09] she steal our idea and say she's going

[02:12] to go home that was our idea, sweetie,

[02:14] then we start getting screamed at on the

[02:16] internet. We don't even know what we did

[02:18] wrong. And so much was happening. I

[02:21] couldn't keep up. It was just like a

[02:23] blackout rage on X of people screaming

[02:25] at us about Erica, right? Graham Allen,

[02:28] of course, resident psycho. He wrote,

[02:30] "You can hear Erica Kirk saying, "I just

[02:33] want to go home. PRAY FOR HER. PRAY FOR

[02:35] HER CHILDREN. HOW MUCH HORROR should one

[02:36] woman have to be exposed to? Absolutely

[02:39] horrific. Like, who exposed her to this

[02:42] dinner?" Then we had Michaela Peterson

[02:44] who has been filigated for her father.

[02:46] She writes, "I don't want to share the

[02:48] video of Erikica Kirk last night, but

[02:49] that is what PTSD looks like.

[02:51] Heartbreaking. The mockery it triggered

[02:53] just strengthens my faith in God. There

[02:55] are times when seeing the good in the

[02:56] world is more difficult, but you can

[02:58] always see the evil. Then we had Ian

[03:01] Miles Chong. We still don't know what

[03:03] he's doing involved at all in American

[03:05] politics. He writes, "All the endless

[03:07] conspiracy theorizing and attacks on

[03:09] Erica Kirk by Candace Owens led to this.

[03:12] It didn't have to be like this. Erica

[03:15] does not deserve this." Like, what? What

[03:19] did I do? I told her to do the opposite

[03:22] of that. I never once said anything

[03:24] about her being inside of sheer

[03:26] curtains. It's crazy. Then this person,

[03:30] Bible in Context, wrote, "Shots fired at

[03:32] the White House Correspondent Center at

[03:34] President Trump and the first lady were

[03:36] rushed off stage. This is what happens

[03:38] when propaganda and lies are spread

[03:40] online by people like Candace Owens and

[03:42] Tucker Carlson. Why do they want Trump

[03:45] dead?"

[03:48] Okay.

[03:50] Again, like I said, very confusing

[03:52] because I specifically remember us

[03:54] telling Erica almost repeatedly to not

[03:57] be the CEO and to go home. Go home. Be

[04:00] with your kids. And the people who were

[04:02] doing the yelling at us were saying the

[04:04] opposite. They were saying, "Let her

[04:07] stay in the public eye. Let her be the

[04:09] CEO. Let her fulfill Charlie's role." So

[04:12] it was like just like upside down world

[04:14] for a second and making matters more

[04:17] confusing was the lecture that we then

[04:20] eventually had to endure from Erica

[04:22] herself

[04:24] like her choice of outfit. There were

[04:26] even some portions of the speech that

[04:28] didn't exactly land like this portion

[04:30] about the wine bottles.

[04:33] It was time to take our seats and we

[04:34] went into the big ballroom where the

[04:36] dinner was. And one of the first things

[04:38] I noticed when I walked into that room

[04:40] was quite literally the proximity of the

[04:43] opposing outlets to one another. So you

[04:45] have one table here that's Politico and

[04:48] another table here that's Fox and

[04:49] another table here that's Wapo and

[04:51] you're all crammed together elbowto

[04:53] elbow. And to make the night even more

[04:55] of a spectacle, every single 10erson

[04:58] table had 10 bottles of wine.

[05:04] I was I was perplexed like what what

[05:06] exactly was up with the wine bottle shot

[05:08] out there. What the even more of a

[05:10] spectacle. There were 10 bottles of wine

[05:12] on every table on the cramp table. What

[05:14] what did the wine bottles do wrong? What

[05:16] did we do wrong? Is anybody going to

[05:17] bother to tell us why she was in that

[05:19] curtain taking a bridal shot?

[05:22] It all felt unfair. I felt like Matilda

[05:24] Wormwood. You know her Matild Matilda

[05:26] Wormwood. She was my favorite. Her

[05:28] parents were awful to her and they

[05:29] always yelled at her for no reason and

[05:31] that is how I felt. I was being yelled

[05:33] at for no reason. Anyway, I don't like

[05:35] being put into timeout for something

[05:37] that I didn't do. Nobody puts baby in

[05:38] the corner without a valid reason. So, I

[05:41] wanted to investigate it. The timing was

[05:42] weird. The shot was weird of her walking

[05:44] out. The footage, the instantaneous

[05:47] verility of the video was weird. It

[05:50] didn't feel real. So, we put out that

[05:53] 10K bounty. We just wanted proof of who

[05:55] recorded it. And lo and behold, we got a

[05:58] couple of very interesting direct tips.

[06:01] People keen to collect the 10K. And

[06:04] here's what we learned. And I'm going to

[06:05] say allegedly here, I have a sense that

[06:08] this first person is telling the truth

[06:10] for a few reasons. One, this person

[06:12] works in politics. Two, this person

[06:14] reached out almost instantly following

[06:16] our show with a very specific story with

[06:19] very specific names, and they offered to

[06:21] sign a sworn affidavit. three, this

[06:24] person gave us the name of who recorded

[06:26] the video. Um, and it is a person who

[06:30] appears to have done some work with

[06:31] Turning Point USA in the past. So, those

[06:34] are the pros. Now, on the con side, this

[06:36] person works in politics, right? Not

[06:39] exactly someone I would describe as a

[06:40] fan of mine. So, there is a chance he or

[06:42] she is therefore making it up to

[06:44] embarrass me. But at the moment that you

[06:47] are transacting, the moment that you're

[06:49] taking money, it's not a gotcha. It's a

[06:51] crime, right? You can't say, "I was just

[06:53] kidding and I got 10K from you." But you

[06:57] never rule it out. All things are

[06:58] possible and this is why we vet our tips

[07:01] uh very seriously. Anyway, here's what

[07:03] we were told. Allegedly following the

[07:07] shooting, a political operative whose

[07:10] name we are going to withhold at this

[07:12] moment until we can confirm it beyond a

[07:13] shadow of a doubt, and we think we will

[07:14] be able to do that imminently.

[07:16] Apparently, this freelancing operative

[07:18] was positioned in advance with the

[07:21] specific instruction to take that exact

[07:24] video at that exact place at that exact

[07:27] time. The operative was allegedly in

[07:29] communication with digital media teams

[07:31] and the entire moment was staged,

[07:34] captured, and then intentionally shared

[07:36] amongst those digital media teams and

[07:39] their operatives whereupon it was made

[07:41] to go viral. Now, that is of course

[07:45] devastating if it is true. There's

[07:49] another person who has a video and has

[07:53] sent evidence. Uh, it's a still of the

[07:55] video. I believe that is factually a

[07:57] still of the video. We checked that.

[07:58] That is not AI. It is definitively an

[08:01] angle that other people have not seen,

[08:03] but they want me to pay a partial

[08:04] portion before they send the full

[08:07] 30-second video. So, that's a gamble. I

[08:10] would say it's a gamble,

[08:13] but it might be one that I'm willing to

[08:15] take. I might be out a couple of

[08:17] thousand dollars.

[08:19] Um, but the reward would be a video of

[08:23] everything to confirm things. All of

[08:26] this to say we are going to get our

[08:28] answer and my every instinct is that the

[08:31] video was staged. I I didn't buy that

[08:34] Sarah Seidner of uh of CNN, who

[08:38] initially put the video online, uh

[08:41] recorded it. She stopped short of saying

[08:43] that she recorded it. She said she was

[08:45] there around when Erica walked out, but

[08:48] I felt that she likely had that video

[08:50] sent to her and then she put it online.

[08:53] So, I will ask this question now in

[08:55] advance before I am turned into publicly

[08:57] public enemy number one. I already am

[08:58] public enemy number one. Well, maybe

[08:59] it's Tucker Carlson.

[09:01] If we are able to confirm this in the

[09:04] coming days that this entire shot was

[09:07] staged

[09:09] and I have a suspicion,

[09:12] I have a hunch.

[09:15] What will they say next?

[09:18] How hard are we going to get gas lit?

[09:19] What What could they say? Well, they

[09:21] could say she didn't know. It was

[09:24] unbeknownst to her. Maybe this was like

[09:28] fast PR. Maybe it was Andrew Kovette.

[09:29] Maybe Andrew Kovette was texting someone

[09:32] and said, "Okay, I got to go get a shot.

[09:34] Erica's about to walk out over here,

[09:35] whatever." And Erica really had no idea.

[09:37] Someone did it without her knowledge or

[09:39] did it without her consent. Someone sold

[09:42] her grief. How terrible would that be?

[09:45] Even though, you know, we had merch

[09:46] sales and hat sales. Felt like that was

[09:48] kind of the whole point of this, selling

[09:49] grief. I just want to know how far are

[09:53] they realistically going to take it.

[09:56] I look at this situation. I look at

[09:58] everything that's happening and I'm I

[10:00] don't think any of us doubt think we're

[10:02] starting to see what's happening. We are

[10:04] living in a world of makebelie.

[10:07] Everything about that White House

[10:09] correspondence shooting made very little

[10:13] sense. Least of all the immediate

[10:16] reaction

[10:17] uh from the very same people, I should

[10:20] add, who were lecturing us about Erica

[10:22] for our our apparent failure to keep her

[10:25] safe. this. They all got together and

[10:28] said the same thing. This is why Trump

[10:30] needs a ballroom. They all instantly

[10:32] said, look at the amount of counts

[10:34] accounts saying this. Just look across

[10:36] the board at the people who are saying

[10:38] this. Randy fine, right? Whatever he

[10:42] says needs to happen, the opposite thing

[10:44] needs to happen. He says we'd better

[10:46] never again hear a peep from anyone

[10:48] complaining about a White House

[10:50] ballroom. Huh? The shooting made you

[10:52] think about a ballroom. Randy Fine,

[10:54] Andrew Kovette.

[10:57] This is why the president needs to build

[11:00] the White House ballroom.

[11:03] Everyone that I don't trust. Megan

[11:05] McCain in the mix.

[11:08] I don't want to hear one more thing

[11:10] about Trump's new ballroom at the White

[11:13] House. No. Every He needs the ballroom.

[11:16] All of these people just at the same

[11:19] time thought the same thing and tweeted

[11:20] out that Trump obviously when you saw

[11:22] they saw he needs the ballroom. A

[11:23] ballroom that never existed. For some

[11:25] reason he didn't he didn't need a

[11:26] ballroom when the shooting happened in

[11:27] Butler. Uh he didn't need a ballroom

[11:31] under any other occasion. Are we

[11:32] pretending that Trump doesn't have

[11:33] events all the time? Like literally all

[11:35] events all the time at Mara Lago. Uh why

[11:38] does he specifically need a ballroom at

[11:40] the White House in order for him to have

[11:42] an event? That's that's like oddly

[11:45] specific.

[11:47] Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Trump

[11:49] has events at the White House, by the

[11:50] way. He had an event shortly thereafter

[11:52] at the White. Why does he specifically

[11:54] need this ballroom?

[11:56] And and why are we pretending like that

[11:58] doesn't feel like like it's weird that

[12:01] people believe that what happened was

[12:03] staged on the basis of how these people

[12:04] responded, right? What are we supposed

[12:06] to believe? A a shooting happens and

[12:08] what? Quick, what's your first thought?

[12:10] Well, once upon a time, it used to be

[12:12] get down. Someone call 911. Is everyone

[12:15] okay? Oh, thank goodness nobody is hurt.

[12:18] Wow. We need to talk about security.

[12:22] But in this like new world of make

[12:24] believe, which we seem to have stepped

[12:26] fully into since Charlie Cro

[12:27] assassination, they want us to believe

[12:29] the normal thing is this is why Trump

[12:31] needs a ballroom. Quick, Terl, get the

[12:34] camera behind Charlie's head ASAP and

[12:36] use the chair that he just died in to do

[12:38] it. Violate the crime scene. get the

[12:42] ballroom. Everything is now feeling

[12:44] elucory. And it also kind of feels like

[12:48] we're running into this moment like

[12:50] something is about to explode. They're

[12:52] becoming increasingly desperate because

[12:54] all of us have sort of had the skills

[12:56] removed from our eyes. And I will say

[12:59] that if and it seems likely if we are

[13:02] able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt

[13:03] that that moment was staged is really

[13:07] not going to be good for the MIGA

[13:10] movement. the make Israel great again

[13:12] movement, Trump, everything his

[13:14] administration has become. Um, I just

[13:17] think it's going to be really, really

[13:19] bad. And I don't see how they're going

[13:22] to be able to wiggle Erica Kirk out of

[13:24] another one of these narratives.
