Candace Owens: Saying What America Is Too Afraid to Ask

[00:01] There's an old expression, one that I've

[00:03] always enjoyed,

[00:06] and it really applies here, and I want

[00:08] you to think about this very carefully.

[00:10] Marsha McLuhan said that

[00:14] little lies

[00:16] are very hard to keep secret, but big

[00:19] lies are easy because of our incredul.

[00:23] Let me explain this again.

[00:26] something

[00:29] that you've got to understand. He said

[00:32] that little lies are fragile because

[00:35] anybody can test them, anybody can

[00:36] challenge them, and anybody can expose

[00:38] them because they're little lies. You

[00:41] can ask, "Does this make any sense? Is

[00:43] this legitimate? Can we No problem. Pick

[00:46] away. You can't keep a secret." They

[00:48] fall apart under the slightest pressure.

[00:52] But big lies, oh big lies survive

[00:55] because people cannot imagine anyone

[00:58] would dare fabricate something that

[01:01] enormous. They can't believe it because

[01:04] of our incredility.

[01:06] Their own disbelief becomes the shield

[01:08] that protects the lie. The public

[01:10] refuses to believe a deception could be

[01:13] that big, that blaring. So the lie stays

[01:16] safe. And that's what's important

[01:19] regarding what Candace Owens is doing.

[01:23] The notion of Erica Kirk. You can't ask

[01:26] questions because for you to ask

[01:27] questions will be like, "No, no, no. I I

[01:30] can't I can't believe that what I've

[01:32] been told is somehow not true.

[01:37] We've seen it before in war and 911 and

[01:40] others. You you can't question. 911 has

[01:43] to be a legitimate story because how how

[01:45] can it not be?" You see, that idea

[01:48] captures again the problem with the

[01:51] Charlie Kirk story. It explains this

[01:54] strange rule that Erica Kirk must never

[01:56] be questioned because the moment you

[01:59] raise an eyebrow, the moment you say,

[02:00] "Wait a minute, the moment you say

[02:03] anything, you're treated like somebody

[02:05] who who interrupted a funeral, you know,

[02:08] with a with a with a with a with a fog

[02:10] horn or something." It's like, "How dare

[02:12] you?" The reaction isn't natural. It's

[02:15] jumpy. It's defensive. It's it's it's

[02:18] designed to scare off inquiry. If this

[02:20] were any other public figure, Hillary

[02:24] Clinton, people would ask the obvious

[02:27] questions without fear.

[02:30] Was she crying or performing? Oh, dear

[02:32] God, don't ask that. Did the tears flow

[02:35] naturally or with help?

[02:38] See, people have talked for years about

[02:40] there's a technique. It's a it's a tear

[02:43] inducing substances that you put on

[02:46] tissues and handkerchiefs. Hollywood

[02:48] uses them. Kind of a camper, a

[02:50] mentholum.

[02:52] Politicians use them. Public figures use

[02:54] them. Everybody knows this. It's it's

[02:57] it's not offensive to wonder whether a

[03:00] staged emotional moment was genuine,

[03:05] especially when the person at the center

[03:07] of it shared the moment with the world

[03:10] and had to keep

[03:14] repeating the performance

[03:16] five, six, seven times a day. Now, let

[03:19] me be very clear.

[03:22] I'm not saying this and I'm not being

[03:24] cute and say, "Well, I'm not saying it."

[03:26] No, no. But other people have been

[03:28] saying this, and maybe you don't know

[03:29] this, but behind the scenes for a long

[03:31] time.

[03:33] We've been asking that since Tammy Feay

[03:35] Baker, anybody who cries, anybody who

[03:37] does this yet, as soon as you enter the

[03:40] territory of Erica Kirk, every question

[03:42] becomes forbidden. How dare you? And

[03:45] that alone should make people very

[03:47] curious and very scared.

[03:50] For the millionth time, this is not

[03:52] about decency or compassion. This is

[03:54] about power and the ability to control

[03:57] speech by declaring someone untouchable.

[04:02] Once a name becomes sacred,

[04:06] no one is allowed to challenge the

[04:08] story. The pattern shows up across every

[04:12] sensitive issue, every political issue.

[04:14] Mention the Middle East and someone

[04:16] calls you anti-semitic. Mention

[04:18] immigration and somebody calls you a

[04:20] racist or some type of a xenophobe.

[04:22] Mention transgender issues and and and

[04:25] you're a trans phobe. You're hateful.

[04:27] The tactic is always the same. Make

[04:30] questioning too costly. Punish

[04:32] curiosity. Use social pressure and

[04:35] social media to shut the gate on the

[04:38] first uncomfortable question. But why?

[04:41] Why do you think? Why do you think

[04:44] Candace Owens ran into the gate and she

[04:48] refused to stop? She didn't attack a

[04:51] widow. She asked why a story with major

[04:56] contradictions was being treated like a

[04:58] like a sealed vault. Like this is the

[05:01] official story. This is the this is the

[05:03] the article of faith. She asked why 20

[05:06] factual questions had been ignored. She

[05:09] asked why a woman who published her

[05:12] husband's open casket for millions.

[05:16] Now that's millions of people or you

[05:19] might say see you might say millions of

[05:21] dollars. What can you say that? No, of

[05:24] course not because that's verboten. You

[05:27] don't understand that. You can't say

[05:28] anything. We're getting so used to that

[05:31] with everything from COVID to masks to

[05:33] politics.

[05:35] You ask away. ask away as a juror, as a

[05:39] grand juror.

[05:41] And now these folks are demanding

[05:43] absolute privacy over the very same

[05:45] circumstances that she shared. I don't

[05:48] get this. These were normal questions.

[05:50] These are normal questions, reasonable

[05:52] questions, legitimate questions, the

[05:54] kind an investigator or a journalist

[05:56] would ask in any serious case. If it was

[05:58] Hillary Clinton, if it was Kla Harris,

[06:01] you better believe they asked that. The

[06:03] backlash against Candace revealed

[06:05] something even deeper. People weren't

[06:07] protecting Erica Kirk. No, no, no. They

[06:10] were protecting the version of the story

[06:12] they needed to believe. They wanted the

[06:15] simplest answer because the real answer

[06:18] might be too large, too dark, too heavy

[06:22] to face. They accepted a big lie

[06:28] theoretically in some cases because they

[06:30] could not imagine anyone would construct

[06:34] one.

[06:36] As Marcia McLuhan noted, big lives

[06:38] thrive on on public incredul. I can't

[06:41] believe this. People assume the truth

[06:43] must be simple because they they can't

[06:45] fathom that someone would attempt

[06:47] something this enormous that certainly

[06:50] you'd be found out. Influencers pounced

[06:53] on the moment not because they cared

[06:55] about Erica Kirk, but because they saw a

[06:57] personal opportunity

[07:00] and Tim Pul. Oh, Tim Pull. Oh my god.

[07:04] This guy spiraled in real time as he

[07:06] tried to gain approval by attacking

[07:08] Candace in this vile, profane way for

[07:11] reason. I don't know.

[07:13] I I think we just saw a nervous

[07:15] breakdown. Others wanted to join the

[07:17] respectable crowd, the the safe crowd,

[07:19] the crowd that the crowd that that that

[07:23] shames the investigator rather than

[07:25] confronts the people shaping the

[07:27] narrative. It was performance, not

[07:30] principle.

[07:33] What the what the public forgot was

[07:36] this.

[07:38] No one was discussing Erica Kirk. I'm

[07:40] going to say it again. Not Erica Kirk,

[07:41] the wife. They were discussing Erica

[07:43] Kirk, the CEO, for the millionth time.

[07:46] I'm telling you,

[07:49] the CEO of a what a $150 million

[07:52] operation or even more. So, they were

[07:54] reviewing the statements of a leader in

[07:55] charge of a political empire. They were

[07:58] examining the timeline of a national

[08:01] political event, a tragedy that many

[08:02] people still are getting over or trying

[08:04] to get over. That's not cruelty. That's

[08:06] citizenship.

[08:08] It's responsible. You do not suspend

[08:11] accountability because someone is

[08:12] grieving. You do not halt investigations

[08:16] because

[08:18] someone requests privacy after choosing

[08:21] to make the most intimate of details

[08:24] public. You don't hide behind emotion

[08:28] when facts demand examination.

[08:30] Leadership and responsible uh leadership

[08:33] and responsibility rather come at a

[08:35] price. And if and and if you accept the

[08:37] authority of a CEO, you can't retreat

[08:40] retreat into the emotions of a spouse or

[08:42] a mother. When questions arise about the

[08:45] organization you run, the two have

[08:47] nothing to do with each other. This

[08:49] contrad contradiction and new teeth.

[08:52] This contradiction

[08:55] sits at the very center of the problem.

[08:56] Erica Kirk wants the public sympathy

[08:58] without the public scrutiny. Can't have

[09:01] that. She wants the power of a CEO, of a

[09:04] chief executive without the exposure.

[09:06] She wants to use emotion to protect

[09:10] herself while using privacy as a weapon.

[09:13] Yet, every contradiction raises

[09:15] contradiction raises new questions. Why

[09:18] hide the grave site after broadcasting

[09:19] the coffin? Why claims she has no time

[09:22] to address questions while appearing on

[09:24] Hannity and Megan Kelly and Outnumbered

[09:27] and Fox and Friends and the Five and

[09:30] Barry Weiss and CBS Town Hall. And why

[09:33] accuse others of grifting while the

[09:36] organization brought in more than $140

[09:38] million after the assassination? I don't

[09:42] What is that? Cruel, too soon.

[09:45] These aren't minor inconsistencies.

[09:47] These are glaring, obvious, and serious.

[09:49] and they demand scrutiny and they demand

[09:51] skepticism and they demand the kind of

[09:54] of of clearheaded investigator who

[09:57] doesn't fold under emotional pressure

[10:00] and any question you ask you should be

[10:02] able to and that has been Candace Owens

[10:05] the outrage the outrage at her is not

[10:08] about morality it's about fear people

[10:11] fear losing status they fear public

[10:14] shame they fear being called insensitive

[10:16] they fear facing the truth if the truth

[10:19] truth undermines their preferred

[10:21] narrative. Candace ignored the fear and

[10:24] walked directly into the questions.

[10:29] The enforcers of of silence, I guess,

[10:32] apparently hated that. And if you if you

[10:35] can't question a narrative, you don't

[10:38] have a narrative. You have dogma.

[10:41] When a story forbids scrutiny,

[10:44] it it stops being journalism or justice

[10:46] and becomes something closer to like to

[10:48] like ritual, you know, an article of

[10:50] faith. Ritual demands reverence, but

[10:53] truth demands interrogation. I'm sorry.

[10:55] You know, it's true. Look, I'm not

[10:57] certain who killed Charlie Kirk. I I But

[11:00] I'm not certain whether Tyler Robinson

[11:02] acted alone or at all or whether he

[11:04] acted under direction. I don't know

[11:05] anything about this because we can't ask

[11:07] any questions about this. I'm not

[11:08] certain why foreign aircraft tracked the

[11:10] Kirks or or why foreign registered

[11:13] phones appeared in the data. Who knows?

[11:15] I only know that every major detail in

[11:19] this story requires investigation. Yet,

[11:21] whenever you lean in for the next

[11:24] question, someone slaps the lid shut and

[11:27] declares the discussion over. That is

[11:30] not the truth. That is not justice. That

[11:33] is not how a free uh society, I would

[11:37] hope still applies, handles a political

[11:39] assassination. And Candace Owens refused

[11:42] the script. She refused the silence. Get

[11:45] it through your head. She refused to

[11:47] pretend contradictions

[11:49] were not contradictions.

[11:52] She was correct on foreign aircraft. She

[11:53] was correct on timeline. She was correct

[11:55] on motive.

[11:57] She was correct on the impossibility

[12:02] of the lone actor story. Come on. She

[12:04] followed facts while others follow the

[12:07] crowd.

[12:09] Oh, look.

[12:12] The truth never needed protection.

[12:15] Lies do. And Candace asked the question

[12:18] as the country whispered. And you did,

[12:20] too. That's why she was attacked. That's

[12:23] why she mattered. And that's why she

[12:24] matters.

[12:26] That's why her persistent remains

[12:28] important. In the end, in the end,

[12:32] evidence wins over sentiment and history

[12:35] favors the people who questioned the big

[12:37] lie while everyone else bowed to it.

[12:41] It's that simple, my friends. That

[12:43] simple. I thank you so much for

[12:45] watching. Thank you so much for allowing

[12:47] me into your ear and head. What do you

[12:50] think? I've got some questions following

[12:52] up as I normally do because your insight

[12:55] as as Lionel Nation conspiratorium grand

[12:58] jurors makes a lot of sense.
