[00:00] Candace Owens issued a response to Erica

[00:02] Kirk after Erica called her out on Fox

[00:05] News for making money off of Candace's

[00:07] investigation into the assassination of

[00:10] Charlie Kirk and for attacking her

[00:12] family, who she included as those people

[00:15] who work at Turning Point USA. This clip

[00:18] that I'm about to show you from

[00:19] Candace's response, I thought was her

[00:21] best moment and the most effective

[00:23] argument to Erica. However, Sean

[00:26] Hannity, who I guess has decided to ruin

[00:29] his career over this, came out and said

[00:31] astonishingly that he is the one who has

[00:34] been right about everything and anyone

[00:36] who was pushing back on these conspiracy

[00:38] theories and asking these questions

[00:41] about Turning Point USA needs to shut

[00:44] up. Hm. Well, here's the problem with

[00:47] that. We have more proof and evidence of

[00:50] either incompetence or willful

[00:52] negligence at Turning Point USA by

[00:55] employees leading up to the UVU event

[00:58] where Charlie lost his life that you are

[01:00] going to want to hear. But what I'm

[01:03] going to start with, since this adds

[01:05] perfect context to this entire

[01:07] narrative, is Congressman Tim Bett

[01:10] explaining how the lone wolf narrative

[01:14] is never true and how certain operatives

[01:17] target individuals to carry out these

[01:20] style of attacks. I guess this makes

[01:23] Bett a Sean Hannity diagnosed conspiracy

[01:27] theorist. Do me a favor first and make

[01:29] sure that you are subscribed. I am here

[01:32] after the truth. We aren't blind

[01:34] followers of any individual. We are God

[01:37] first, striving to keep America one

[01:39] nation under God and remain in the

[01:42] truth. I'm Zach Costello.

[01:45] Listen to Congressman Tim Burett explain

[01:48] on the Benny Johnson show how the lone

[01:51] wolf narrative, including as it relates

[01:53] to Tyler Robinson in the Charlie Kurt

[01:54] case, is almost never true. This is how

[01:57] government operatives, foreign and

[02:00] domestic, do it. If you thought this was

[02:02] fairy tale fiction, you're very wrong

[02:04] and you need to wake up.

[02:05] >> I think that mo what most people are

[02:07] asking is how is it possible that some

[02:10] degenerate

[02:12] spectrum autistic loner who doesn't have

[02:14] any friends, didn't speak to any

[02:15] >> always a loner. Always a loner. They

[02:17] never, you know, no contact. Remember

[02:19] they said that about um

[02:21] >> Thomas Krooks. Yeah.

[02:22] >> Tyler Robinson.

[02:24] Yeah.

[02:24] >> Yeah. Parents didn't know what he was

[02:26] doing. didn't know that. You know, same

[02:28] deal. Same deal. It's always follows the

[02:31] pattern. Again,

[02:33] I say this a lot and I get labeled a

[02:35] lot, but I think you've got

[02:37] organizations that um that, you know,

[02:41] they they were sued for it once before.

[02:43] You know, I've had this conversation. I

[02:44] think it was the CIA was sued. They

[02:46] said, "Oh, we don't do mind control, all

[02:48] that stuff." Then they got in a lawsuit

[02:49] and they got their butts sued. And then

[02:52] they said, "Well, we do it. We did it,

[02:54] but we don't do it anymore." So, were

[02:56] you lying then? Are you lying now? Are

[02:57] you still lying? Which I think they're

[02:59] still lying. And, you know, they they

[03:01] put this garbage out to the, you know,

[03:04] and through the way that, you know, the

[03:06] airwaves on the internet. It's pretty

[03:08] simple. Um, how they do it and they and

[03:10] they target these individuals. And I

[03:12] think that's how they do it. I think

[03:13] they they expect this thing to happen

[03:16] and somebody is is is pumping this

[03:18] garbage out.

[03:19] >> What this is specifically called is

[03:21] covert influence. The CIA has lied about

[03:24] using it and then admitted to doing it.

[03:26] As Bashett explains here, this is used

[03:28] by America and it's used by governments

[03:31] around the world to influence certain

[03:33] outcomes in whatever country they are

[03:35] operating within. In this specific case

[03:38] of Tyler Robinson, multiple people

[03:41] online knew that something was going to

[03:43] happen. On September 10th, foreign

[03:45] military contractors arrived in Provo

[03:48] the week leading up to the

[03:49] assassination. A disproportionate number

[03:51] of foreign registered cell phones were

[03:53] located at the UVU event when Charlie

[03:56] was killed. A decoy sprang up right

[04:00] after the shot was taken. Tyler Robinson

[04:02] was radicalized quickly in the months

[04:04] leading up to the assassination. This

[04:07] Turning Point USA event was planned at

[04:09] the last minute with insufficient

[04:12] security and emergency protocols because

[04:14] of how Turning Point USA completed forms

[04:17] for UVU. I'm going to cover that here in

[04:20] a second and it's very disturbing which

[04:22] you'll see. But as far as I'm concerned,

[04:25] it is more likely that this was a

[04:28] coordinated hit involving multiple

[04:30] people than not. So now it's just a

[04:33] matter of foreign or domestic covert

[04:37] influence. If Tyler Robinson pulled the

[04:40] trigger, as I've said, fine. I just want

[04:43] the truth. Who influenced him, though?

[04:46] and who was he working with? This is

[04:49] what I and everyone else should care

[04:52] about. Period. And getting to the truth,

[04:55] the full truth of this matter is of

[04:58] highest priority regardless of the

[05:00] political and global consequences.

[05:02] Israel, for example, had a lot to lose

[05:05] if Charlie and Turning Point USA had

[05:08] turned against them. And they had a lot

[05:10] to gain if Turning Point USA continued

[05:13] to lead the pro-Israel agenda in

[05:15] America. The left had a lot to gain with

[05:18] Charlie Kirk out of the way. After all,

[05:21] he and Turning Point USA just got Trump

[05:24] elected president. Turning Point USA is

[05:27] not some small business. It is a big

[05:29] money, big power organization with a lot

[05:32] at stake. And the very influential

[05:35] founder of said organization was

[05:38] assassinated. When President Trump was

[05:40] almost killed in Butler, Pennsylvania,

[05:42] we demanded the Secret Service be held

[05:44] accountable. The director stepped down.

[05:47] We wanted heads to roll for the

[05:49] incompetence and we wanted

[05:51] investigations into any willful

[05:54] negligence. Why is this unacceptable to

[05:57] do when it comes to TurningPoint USA?

[06:00] Why does this make you a vile evil

[06:02] conspiracy theorist as Sean Hannity, who

[06:05] apparently is right about everything,

[06:08] says that you are? Listen, this is a

[06:10] perfect setup in context for what

[06:12] Candace pushed back on against Erica and

[06:15] the failures of Turning Point USA that

[06:17] day Charlie was killed. You know, I've

[06:19] been doing TV and radio now for 30 plus

[06:21] years, and you know that on this show,

[06:24] we more often than not, we end up

[06:26] putting facts first, and we're way ahead

[06:28] of the curve, and we get it right when

[06:30] the legacy media mob so often gets

[06:33] things wrong. Um, and you know, on this

[06:36] program, I believe every word I say

[06:39] there, we are very transparent what we

[06:41] do. But in today's internet age, where I

[06:44] guess anybody can have their own talk

[06:45] show, where everything's about clicks,

[06:47] everything's about money, everything's

[06:49] about views, a lot of people out there,

[06:52] they don't seem to have any issue with

[06:55] spewing the most incendiary, hateful,

[06:59] outrageous, conspiratorial comments that

[07:02] they can dream up. And somehow someway,

[07:05] some of the people who traffic in this

[07:07] kind of hatred and talk have actually

[07:10] decided to turn the tragic political

[07:13] assassination of Charlie Kirk into their

[07:16] latest topic of fascination with a

[07:18] variety of absolutely insane conspiracy

[07:21] theories. Uh some people are even trying

[07:24] to figure out where Charlie Kirk is

[07:27] buried. Does it get any more evil, any

[07:30] sicker than this? Well, not to me. I

[07:33] find all of this disgusting and

[07:35] repulsive. Erica, her children, the

[07:38] people at Turning Point, they have been

[07:41] through enough this year. It is time for

[07:44] people to shut up and leave these people

[07:47] alone.

[07:47] >> Quick Google search. What did Sean

[07:51] Hannity say and do about the COVID

[07:53] vaccine?

[07:55] In July of 2021, Hannity told his

[07:58] viewers, "Please take CO seriously. I

[08:00] can't say it enough. Enough people have

[08:02] died. We don't need any more death. He

[08:05] added, I believe in science. I believe

[08:07] in the science of vaccination. And he

[08:10] said, absolutely makes sense for many

[08:14] Americans to get vaccinated. He ended up

[08:17] getting the vaccine. Hm. I just cannot

[08:20] understand for the life of me and

[08:23] especially after CO and all we've been

[08:26] through with the authorities and the

[08:28] elites and what you just heard from

[08:31] Congressman Tim Burett. Why these people

[08:35] cannot remain skeptical and open-minded.

[08:39] Arrogance I know better and you don't

[08:42] get to ask questions never plays. And

[08:45] this is what Candace gets at here

[08:47] against Erica. We'll get to that right

[08:49] after a quick break here for our

[08:52] sponsors that are keeping this channel

[08:54] independent and allowing me to do this

[08:56] full-time. The wellness company sponsors

[08:59] this channel, guys. And you know that

[09:01] stubborn ache that never quite goes

[09:02] away. The one that ice, heat, or pain

[09:06] pills barely touch? What if you could

[09:08] target it at the cellular level instead

[09:11] of just numbing it? That's exactly what

[10:37] Okay, so Candace Owens issued a response

[10:39] after Erica Kirk called her out on Fox

[10:41] News for profiting off of her

[10:44] investigation into the Charlie Kirk

[10:45] assassination and for attacking her

[10:48] family, who Erica included as the people

[10:50] who work at Turning Point USA. This

[10:53] clip, which is pretty hilarious to

[10:55] start, I thought was Candace's most

[10:58] effective argument against Erica,

[11:00] especially given what I'm going to show

[11:02] you after this about the people at

[11:04] Turning Point USA and how they failed to

[11:07] protect Charlie. Listen.

[11:09] >> WHOA. [screaming]

[11:10] WHOA. ERICA KIRK SHUTS DOWN the con. No,

[11:14] she didn't even respond to one of the

[11:15] conspiracies. She gave us emotion. She

[11:18] gave us emotion. She said, "I'm a

[11:20] mother. I am a wife." And we never asked

[11:23] about whether she was mother or wife. We

[11:24] want to know if she is a CEO and a

[11:26] chairman. And a CEO and a chairman has

[11:29] to compartmentalize. A CEO and a

[11:31] chairman cannot respond to valid

[11:33] questions and critiques about finances,

[11:35] about shady actions that are being taken

[11:38] by people that require presidential

[11:40] pardons. People that are meaningfully

[11:42] asking uh why we are not getting a clear

[11:45] answer of what took place in September

[11:46] 10th. CEO, okay, does not get to respond

[11:50] and say, "That's my family, okay? That's

[11:54] my that's my that is what I that's the

[11:56] energy of what I would expect from a

[11:59] mother speaking to a teacher, which I I

[12:02] was this mom." Like, that's my kid.

[12:04] Okay. And there we'll shut this down

[12:07] right now. That's my child. This is not

[12:08] a child. Turning Point USA is an

[12:10] organization. And Erica already had an

[12:13] uphill battle to climb. like that. She

[12:15] had to climb this because, by the way,

[12:17] just because if if this was Goldman

[12:19] Sachs and the president of Goldman Sachs

[12:23] or managing director over at Goldman

[12:24] Sachs died in a horrifically violent

[12:26] way, the Goldman Sachs family

[12:31] uh might mourn for a couple of months,

[12:34] but they would have instantly had

[12:35] someone to replace that individual. And

[12:37] beyond that, they would have never

[12:38] accepted

[12:40] the the public and and the people that

[12:43] um are investing money. They would have

[12:45] never accepted, well, he's gone, but

[12:47] here's his wife. She already had an up

[12:50] hill to climb here, right? Like this

[12:52] does not make you qualified because you

[12:53] love someone to take on their job. I am

[12:55] not qualified to do what my husband

[12:56] does. That's why I said I would I

[12:58] wouldn't want to be the CEO and the

[12:59] chairman of a company. Actually, there's

[13:00] a great clip of uh Jordan Peterson

[13:03] asking that very question. Like, why do

[13:04] women want to be like, why would you

[13:06] want to have it's actually a lot of work

[13:07] and it's very stressful and it's a lot

[13:08] of numbers and you're crunching numbers

[13:10] and you have to be everywhere. Okay, if

[13:12] you want that, great. If you built the

[13:15] company and you're in the room like

[13:16] Charlie Kirk did and you have proven to

[13:18] the public like, hey, I built this

[13:21] company. I didn't even go to college and

[13:22] I've been doing this for over a decade

[13:24] as Charlie Kirk did. You've earned that

[13:25] street cred. Okay, so she already had a

[13:28] hill decline because now they're saying,

[13:30] "Well, this is his wife." And so,

[13:33] you know, that's it. Well, now you're

[13:35] going to have to prove that you have the

[13:36] ability to be a CEO and a chairman and

[13:38] not just a wife who we expect emotion

[13:40] from. And you have you're rightful in

[13:41] that capacity. You are rightful to have

[13:43] emotion. You are rightful to be the

[13:44] agrieved widow, but you don't get to

[13:46] just be widowed into the position of

[13:48] chairman and CEO. don't get to respond

[13:49] to well in this case investors, donors

[13:52] who have given money and are asking

[13:54] meaningful questions with no you don't

[13:57] you you you don't you don't get replies

[13:59] right now cuz this this is the Charlie

[14:00] Kirk show fam doesn't work this way.

[14:02] >> Two things can be true at once. Erica is

[14:04] a grieving widow and mother and she is

[14:08] not making the right decisions as the

[14:10] CEO of a massive and powerful company

[14:13] that her husband built and is currently

[14:16] under the microscope because he was

[14:18] assassinated and people want answers.

[14:21] Just because Charlie wanted Erica as the

[14:24] CEO and the Turning Point USA board

[14:27] voted her in does not mean that that was

[14:29] a prudent decision. We can talk about

[14:32] this objectively and separately from her

[14:35] being a grieving widow and mother. If

[14:39] she wants to be a grieving widow and

[14:41] mother, that's fine. Then what she

[14:43] should have done maybe is hire an

[14:45] interim CEO to cover this period. But

[14:49] Candace is right. Now she is the CEO of

[14:52] this company. And this company, like I

[14:54] said, is under the microscope because of

[14:56] what happened.

[14:58] as an effective and competent CEO of

[15:01] Turning Point, given that its leader was

[15:04] assassinated and they failed to protect

[15:06] him, wouldn't you, for example, do an

[15:10] internal investigation to find the

[15:13] failures? Or maybe see if someone

[15:15] planned or leaked the location of the

[15:17] event to one of those domestic or

[15:20] foreign operatives that could have been

[15:23] involved, that were likely involved.

[15:25] Like, wouldn't we want full

[15:27] accountability and transparency instead

[15:30] of just calling them your family, which

[15:32] is cute. Why would we just not want to

[15:35] find who dropped the ball on this? This

[15:39] is from a viral video that was

[15:41] supposedly debunking Candace and her

[15:43] receipts. It didn't land as expected.

[15:46] Listen. Now, let's talk about the

[15:47] ambulance. Candace finds it suspicious

[15:49] that there was no ambulance on standby

[15:51] at the event. Typically, uh, the states

[15:54] dictate the protocol and you're required

[15:57] to after you have a certain number of

[15:58] attendees at an event, you are required

[16:00] to have an ambulance on standby. And I

[16:02] don't know Utah state law. Uh, but I

[16:04] also found that that weird uh that there

[16:06] wouldn't have been an ambulance on

[16:07] standby. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

[16:09] Uh, but seemed atypical to me.

[16:12] >> She's right to raise this because that

[16:14] is a genuine failure and Turning Point

[16:17] bears significant responsibility for it.

[16:20] But that could just be incompetence, not

[16:22] malevolence. Here's another way to look

[16:24] at it. The Turning Point student chapter

[16:26] at UVU, the campus club that organized

[16:28] the event, filled out the planning

[16:30] forms. They initially estimated 200

[16:33] attendees. That low estimate didn't

[16:35] trigger UVU's major events assessment

[16:39] committee, the body that would have

[16:40] required enhanced security and medical

[16:42] coverage for large gatherings. Now, they

[16:45] eventually revised the form to estimate

[16:47] that 600 students would come. And they

[16:50] did that based on a neighboring school's

[16:52] Turning Point event the previous year

[16:55] that did draw about 600. Later, Turning

[16:58] Point corporate got involved and told

[17:00] the students to revise expectations

[17:02] to,500 to 2,000 people and it was still

[17:05] wrong because over 3,000 people showed

[17:07] up. The result was that only two EMTs

[17:11] were on site and there was no dedicated

[17:14] ambulance for a crowd five times larger

[17:17] than anyone planned for. So, was that

[17:19] negligent? Arguably, yes. Turning Point

[17:23] Corporate should have ensured that

[17:25] proper protocols were followed. UVU

[17:27] systems should have caught this. The

[17:30] student organizers were in over their

[17:32] heads. This event at UVU was planned

[17:35] abnormally late for Turning Point USA

[17:37] events. UVU also told Turning Point USA

[17:41] staff the amphitheater location was not

[17:44] a good idea and could not be protected

[17:46] properly. Someone made the call on that

[17:49] location anyways. And whoever at

[17:51] TurningPoint USA completed the forms,

[17:53] severely undersshot the crowd size,

[17:56] which dictated the emergency services

[17:59] that were present. And even after

[18:01] revisions made by Turning Point USA

[18:03] corporate, they undersshot the

[18:05] attendance by half, reporting that 1500

[18:08] to a,000 would be there, over 3,000

[18:11] people attended this event. And this

[18:13] undershooting prevented an ambulance

[18:16] from being able to be present. Charlie's

[18:18] head of security told UVU police that he

[18:21] was concerned about the rooftops in

[18:23] front of Charlie. The UVU police said

[18:25] they had it covered, but Charlie's

[18:27] security staff never followed up on

[18:29] this. All of this to say, this is at

[18:32] least negligence and incompetence by

[18:35] multiple staff at Turning Point USA,

[18:38] which resulted in the death of Charlie

[18:40] Kirk, and people should be held

[18:41] accountable for it. At worst, well, this

[18:45] is why people have questions and are

[18:46] unhappy about their behavior in the

[18:50] aftermath and are unhappy about answers

[18:52] like the ones that Erica Kirk, the CEO

[18:55] of Turning Point USA, gave all of us. It

[18:57] doesn't make you a conspiracy theorist.

[18:59] It just makes you a reality observer.
