Candace Owens Uncovers the Lori Frantzve Erpenbeck Fraud Scandal and Erika Kirk's Hidden Dating History
Candace Owens exposes shocking connections between Erika Kirk's mother Lori Frantzve and the infamous Erpenbeck family fraud scandal that defrauded banks of $34 million. Owens traces a disturbing pattern of financial scandals, mysterious LLCs, and alleged money laundering schemes surrounding Lori Frantzve, who now sits on the board of Super Feed Technologies alongside Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer. The investigation reveals forged divorce documents, unnottarized agreements, multiple conflicting birth dates for Erika, and a web of business relationships with a family convicted of bank fraud, conspiracy, and attempted murder-for-hire plots. Owens also dismantles Erika's claim that she never dated anyone for five years before meeting Charlie Kirk, presenting evidence of multiple boyfriends during that exact period.
The Lori Frantzve and Tyler Bowyer Connection
Candace Owens continues her investigation into the circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk's death and the future of Turning Point USA. According to Owens, the voice in Erika Kirk's ear is her mother, Lori Frantzve, who despite being seriously ill, was recently placed on the board of Super Feed Technologies alongside Turning Point Action COO Tyler Bowyer. Owens describes Boyer as a "shady dude" and notes that the two are effectively business partners.
Rumors have circulated online that money from Turning Point Action has been routed into Super Feed. While Owens states she cannot confirm this as she is not a forensic accountant, she emphasizes that these two individuals are "in cahoots." Owens previously broke the story that Tyler Bowyer is allegedly taking Turning Point into the real estate business.
The Disturbing Divorce Documents
Owens previously examined divorce documents between Lori Frantzve and Kent France, finding numerous irregularities including four different wedding dates listed across documents, an unnottarized childcare agreement, and conflicting birth dates for Erika. Initially, Owens cautioned that remaining documents might correct these discrepancies. However, after receiving all remaining documents, she confirmed that Erika's birthday is listed as November 22nd across all documents, not November 20th as initially reported in Cincinnati news sources. Erika's name is also spelled differently on several occasions.
The key revelation from these documents was the witness: Richard Erpenbeck. His address on the documents allowed Owens to definitively identify which Rick Erpenbeck was involved. The Erpenbeck name appears frequently throughout Lori's business dealings.
Lori Frantzve's Mysterious Business Empire
Owens describes Lori Frantzve's professional background as odd, similar to her daughter Erika's. According to the narrative, Lori was a model, then worked as a secretary during her second marriage, and then suddenly became a technological genius despite no evidence of such expertise. Lori has filed for numerous LLCs over the years, and Owens struggles to identify what these businesses actually do.
Over a 25-year period, Lori filed for multiple companies featuring Richard or Donna Erpenbeck as either secretary, incorporator, or notary:
- Euroch (June 1993) - Richard featured
- Euroch International UK (1995)
- Techmetrics International (1993) - Richard Erpenbeck listed as secretary in 1998 documents
- Techmetrics Limited International UK (1995)
- Virtual Registration (December 1999) - both Donna and Rick Erpenbeck signed off
- A-Tech (August 1997 in Arizona) - later renamed E3 Tech in 2017
Owens notes that when she sees numerous LLCs without clear purposes, especially ones identifying as technology companies, her instinct suggests potential money laundering, though she emphasizes this is her unprofessional opinion and there is no evidence of such activity.
The Erpenbeck Scandal Exposed
Richard Erpenbeck was part of a family involved in one of the most notorious fraud cases in Ohio and Kentucky history around 2002, coincidentally the same year Lori and Erika moved to Notre Dame Prep. The Erpenbeck Company was a massive homebuilding company owned and operated by generations of the Erpenbeck family, including four brothers: Bill, Rick, Gary (married to Donna Erpenbeck), Jeff, plus their father Tony, and sister Lori Anne Urban.
The Erpenbecks approached new homeowners offering construction help and ways to cut financial fees related to new home ownership, telling clients to pay them directly and they would handle the rest. However, homes were not being built and mortgages were not being paid. The scheme defrauded banks of $34 million, leaving hundreds of homebuyers on the hook for millions in unpaid mortgages.
The case featured forged documents and shady subcontractors. By 2004, sister Lori Anne Erpenbeck had apparently had enough of her family after learning her brother Bill had thought about killing her. When their father Tony offered her $500 for her birthday, he turned the conversation to her testimony about Bill, trying to convince her to lie under oath. Lori Anne told her lawyer about the conversation, and the FBI was brought in. She agreed to wear a wire to capture information.
Murder-for-Hire Plots and Federal Convictions
Over the next few days, Lori Anne Erpenbeck met with her father and brother Bill as they tried to convince her to agree to a fake storyline claiming she started the fraud to help the company's cash flow and it got over her head, then letting Bill assume responsibility. The FBI arrested both men based on the recordings.
Tony Erpenbeck's crimes escalated dramatically while in federal prison. He attempted to hire someone to murder US District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel and retired assistant US attorney Kathleen Brinkman. He also targeted an FBI agent's children, telling a would-be hitman to bury the agent's three kids in a casket with crackers, water, and an air pipe for 10 days. He recruited a fellow inmate about to be released to commit the crimes, offering to pay half a million dollars in gold stock upfront, then another half million from offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands after news of the kidnappings hit newspapers. The inmate flipped on Erpenbeck and wore a wire for the FBI.
Bill Erpenbeck was ultimately sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty, though a judge later shortened his sentence and he served 21 years. He received additional charges for threatening to kill his sister. Tony Erpenbeck was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months for bank fraud with a concurrent 60 months for obstruction of justice, then received another 20 years for attempting to hire a hitman to kill the judge, attorney, and FBI agent's children.
The Family's Legal Outcomes
Sister Lori Anne Erpenbeck served one year for one count of bank fraud. Brothers Gary and Jeff got off without charges. Rick Erpenbeck, the youngest, agreed to surrender his Kentucky legal license but otherwise avoided charges because his name was not on the business. However, he did testify, and during his testimony, a major mystery emerged: why had his father Tony transferred so much money to LLCs under Rick's control?
When asked about this during his deposition, Rick Erpenbeck testified: "You'd have to ask my dad what was in his head. I saw it as a good investment. He had always helped the other boys out from the beginning. I was the one who worked two jobs, three jobs through college, two jobs through law school, while he was helping out the other boys, the Erpenbeck Company, and he wanted to give me the opportunity to purchase these assets."
The homeowners who were defrauded never got their money back. While some money went to Bill's lavish lifestyle, the rest remains unaccounted for. In 2009, FBI agents dug up a cooler full of cash from Summit Hills Country Club in Crestview Hills that Bill Erpenbeck had buried, hoping to use after his release from prison. Bill was released from prison in 2024.
Unnottarized Documents and Irregularities
During the Erpenbeck trial, a notary testified that Bill Erpenbeck sometimes asked her to notarize documents when the people who supposedly signed them were not present, which is illegal. Owens points out this is exactly what she identified in Lori Frantzve's divorce documents before even knowing about the Erpenbeck connection. As a notary herself in New York, it struck her as highly unusual that anyone would sign away their rights to a court case and legal representation without a notary being present.
Why Continue the Relationship?
Owens finds it remarkable that despite being aware of who the Erpenbecks were and their involvement in a case that included coordinated murder attempts and kidnapping plots involving children, Lori Frantzve was not scared off from working with Rick Erpenbeck. Owens states that if her lawyer's family was in prison for such crimes, she would find another way to incorporate her LLCs rather than continue the relationship.
Owens also notes that Lori sent Erika to Tesseract School in Arizona, which suddenly had to shutter its doors due to another financial scandal where money evaporated and people suspected it was a scam. Later, Lori would work with the Farnsworths and strike up a partnership with Tyler Bowyer, the COO of Turning Point Action, who would introduce Erika to Charlie Kirk. In the background, Lori and Tyler would do business together.
Super Feed Technologies Controversy
When people questioned why Lori was a board member at Super Feed Technologies, Erika's answer was that they just needed a familiar name. Super Feed Technologies has been involved in scandal, with claims of bribery. A Yahoo News headline referred to "Kari Lake's bribery scandal involves a shady GOP tech firm," referencing Super Feed Technologies, which had its business revoked by the state of Arizona while it employed Jeff DeWit as former COO. Lake had received more than $100,000 from the entity according to personal financial disclosure filed.
Owens notes that Tyler Bowyer recently required a federal pardon from the President of the United States for fraud. He was credibly accused of nine felonies related to trying to subvert the election, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, and still faces state charges.
Tyler Bowyer and Real Estate Plans
Owens revealed that Tyler Bowyer is telling people Turning Point will now get into the real estate business to help young homeowners, claiming it was Charlie's vision. Boyer is allegedly saying that since Charlie always told students not to go to college and to instead get married young, the next logical step would be for Turning Point to help them become homeowners.
Missing Marriage Records
A researcher from Marblehead, Massachusetts offered to help search for documents and could not find any marriage documents for Lori and Kent France, though this does not definitively prove they don't exist. The researcher did find deeds where Lori and Kent had signed over their home in Marblehead. In these documents, Lori and Kent are listed as a couple from North Kingston, Rhode Island. However, Owens notes that "North Kingston" is not actually a place. There is Kingston, Rhode Island (essentially just the University of Rhode Island campus about 2 miles long), South Kingstown, and North Kingstown. Owens cannot find any trace of Lori and Kent having lived in Rhode Island and is asking Rhode Island researchers to investigate whether this couple can be found and whether they might have married there.
Erika's Educational Timeline
After Erika Frantzve left Tesseract in 2000 due to the school's financial crisis (ironically run by Jewish women and renting from a Jewish school despite Owens noting Jewish people are stereotypically known for good accounting), there is evidence Erika went back to Ohio for about three years from 2000 to 2002. She apparently attended St. Ursula Villa, which despite its name was not actually a Catholic school. Though located on St. Ursula Academy property, St. Ursula Villa was privately owned and funded, completely separate from the Catholic Church and the nuns who ran St. Ursula Academy. Owens cannot determine who was funding the school and is asking anyone with yearbooks from St. Ursula Villa from 2000 to 2003 to reach out if they remember Erika Frantzve.
What happens next is easier to document. Erika attended Notre Dame Prep, which was formerly the Tesseract School location in North Scottsdale that had shuttered and reopened. In 2003, she played volleyball and got involved in sports. It's also easy to track her because despite her claim that she got into pageantry after receiving a random mailer, Erika was involved in beauty pageants every single year from 2005 through 2012, a seven-year period, possibly longer if she competed while in Ohio.
Pageant World and Contradictory Narratives
Some pageant women disputed Erika's narrative that she was randomly invited, writing to Owens that minors in particular are not freely solicited to join pageant world and that a photo must be submitted by a parent or guardian. During an interview, Erika claimed: "The pageant world to me is something that it was an interesting season of life. It was nothing that I was ever groomed for. It was nothing that was ever on my radar. I just wanted to play professional basketball. That was my thing ever since I was five. I was a gym rat for lack of a better term. I remember getting something in the mail when I had come home from school one summer and it was like, 'Hey, you should compete at Miss Arizona USA. Someone nominated you.' And I was like, I don't know who would nominate me for that, but okay."
She went on to say the pageant world was not a form of narcissism but rather about being a steward for her state. Owens notes that if you have to say you weren't groomed for something, you probably were.
Detailed Timeline: 2005-2008
In 2005, Erika was still attending Notre Dame Prep playing basketball as a junior. She won first runner-up in the National American Miss Arizona pageant and represented Arizona at the All-American Miss Pageant in November 2005 in Los Angeles. That year, Lori Frantzve was listed in a House bill budget for the US Department of Homeland Security for another business called IMAT Laboratories.
In August 2006, just ahead of her senior year, Erika won the National American Miss Teen Pageant and traveled to Washington DC to present her plans to Representative JD Hayworth and Senator John Kyl. She became involved with a charity called Andrea's Closet which worked with a hospital in Winslow, Arizona for kids. Erika noted she stopped by that hospital often on the way to basketball games and wanted to establish her own charity in the future. That year, her father Kent France was listed as a risk assessment contractor trying to get more funding from the Department of Homeland Security. Lori had to close down Virtual Registration International Incorporated (the one Rick helped her open) because the tax department force-closed it for lack of tax filing.
In 2007, Erika's teen pageant year began (pageants are competed for at the end of one year and the crown is worn the following year). She graduated from Notre Dame Prep in spring 2007, receiving a full basketball and academic scholarship to Regis University in Denver, Colorado. She was also named a finalist for the Arizona Interscholastic Association's Everyday Heroes Award, which later became the name of her charity established in 2009.
During the 2007-2008 school year, Erika began playing basketball at Regis University. Owens found only two newspaper entries of her scoring: a November 24th game and one on December 1st against South Dakota. After that, she seemingly abandoned her scholarship based on the paper trail.
The Missing Year: 2008
Owens labels 2008 as "Erika's missing school year." While Erika claims she played basketball for two years and noted in a future Notre Dame alumni packet that she played at Regis University for two years, Owens could not confirm this. Regis University still has her basketball stat page up showing a record of her playing only from 2007 to 2008. Owens initially thought perhaps Erika stopped playing basketball to focus on her studies with her academic scholarship, but then discovered Erika herself confirms she went missing during this period.
In a 2020 interview that has since been removed (but which Owens saved), Erika confirmed that after passing her crown in 2007, she disappeared. Erika stated: "I prayed for God to just strip my ego from all of that stuff. All of that world, all of the plastic hat crown stuff with the banner. That was just, it was never, it was me from the standpoint of a philanthropic side, but the hometown hero thing was just weird and it was unhealthy and it was just ego fueling. So I locked myself in my room, basically turned into a hermit for about a good eight months. The only person I would see outside of my family was my pastor's wife. And we would go to the church and she would just pour into me every single day. And I just was reading scripture and read the Bible cover to cover multiple times."
Training to Become a Christian?
Owens questions how an active college student could see no one but her mother and her pastor's wife for eight months. She suspects this period could represent a time when Erika trained to become a Christian. Given what has been learned about individuals training to present as Christians and infiltrate conservative movements, Owens asks whether Erika was training to be able to impress people like Charlie by always having a Bible verse ready. Owens notes that Erika can't complete a sentence without making it somehow a Bible verse or holy, and there's something that registers as off about that to many people.
Owens wants to know who the pastor's wife is. The only person who saw Erika for eight months according to Erika's own dating of events. By going through Erika's old tweets via an account she has since locked down (accessed with help from a follower who shared login credentials), Owens and her team tried to identify the church and pastor. They believe a possible church could be City of Grace in Scottsdale, with Pastor Terry Crist.
City of Grace and Hillsong Connections
Pastor Terry Crist is mentioned on Erika's Twitter feed as early as 2011 with tweets like "Pastor Terry is awesome." She also tweeted about his wife Judith Crist: "I cherish your friendship and I am grateful for your love, Judith Crist. You are the epitome of a Proverbs." Other tweets include "I am totally obsessed with City of Grace" and references to attending with "my Tyler Massie" (a boyfriend, contradicting her claims of not dating before Charlie).
Coincidentally, Pastor Terry Crist is very close with Brian Houston, the Hillsong Church founder who infamously attempted to cover up his father's pedophilia. Brian Houston said of his father who was never charged: "I have no doubt now that my father was a serial pedophile and we will probably never know the extent of it." Pastor Terry Crist and his wife Pastor Judith Crist have been friends with the Houstons since 1994.
Ashley, Owens' researcher, explains that Pastor Terry Crist has a very interesting background and is very good friends with Brian Houston. Houston covered up his father's pedophilia for years, and his father never got charged. Brian Houston eventually resigned, and right afterwards, Pastor Terry Crist also resigned from the church he was leading, though he said it wasn't related. Additionally, Pastor Terry Crist and his wife were accused (word on the street, allegedly) of having their congregants throw up into bags to get rid of bad spirits.
Owens emphasizes she is not certain this is the pastor's wife Erika went into training with, but finds the connections interesting. She notes there are going to be psychiatrists and psychologists in Erika's life, and what people perceive as spiritual darkness sometimes comes from people purporting to be spiritually light. People who can't get out a sentence without saying "the Lord" could have something else going on, as was learned with the Hillsong scandal.
Continued Pageant Involvement
Despite Erika's claimed eight-month hiatus from public life to strip away the "plastic" pageant world, she confirms she competed for Miss USA Colorado 2009, placing third runner-up. This means during 2008, despite her claims of being a hermit, she was still involved in pageantry. In fact, she competed that year as well, continuing her pattern of competing every single year.
The Major Dating Lie Exposed
One of the most significant revelations Owens presents is Erika's lie about not dating anyone for five years before meeting Charlie Kirk. During an interview with Bari Weiss, Erika claimed: "When I lived out here [New York City], I was here for 5 years. I never dated here because I saw vicariously through my roommate how terrible it was... I was blessed with a Charlie, you have to be the type of woman that will attract a Charlie... I was not dating in New York City. He knew that in order for me to know that that was my man, he had to blanket Charlie as a job interview because if he came to me and said, 'Hey, let's go on a date to Bill's Burgers,' I'd be like, 'I am so sorry, thank you, but no, we're not doing this.' That was my mindset. I was not in that headspace. I just wasn't."
Owens finds this deeply suspicious and asks what the intended purpose and audience for this lie is. She emphasizes that no one would judge Erika for having a normal dating life in her twenties in New York City. The correct answer, Owens suggests, should have been: "I didn't go out to meet a boyfriend because I already had one and maybe he was living in DC or something. I had a boyfriend. I always had a boyfriend and they were in different cities."
The reality, according to Owens' research, is that from 2013 to 2018, the five years preceding her relationship with Charlie, Erika had multiple boyfriends. She rang in the new year with a boyfriend in 2018. There was not actually a single year that could be found when Erika Frantzve was single, the opposite of what she claims. Owens promises more details on this for the following week.
Pattern of Fraud and Financial Scandal
Owens emphasizes that fraud seems to surround Lori Frantzve from her parents to her grandparents to the person doing her documents to her very many businesses that nobody knows what they do. She can't seem to get away from it. Despite being very aware of who the Erpenbecks were in a case that included attempts of coordinated murder and kidnapping of children, Lori didn't seem scared and continued working with Rick Erpenbeck.
Owens notes this keeps happening around Lori. Money evaporates everywhere she goes, even when her daughter is just going to school. Tyler Bowyer probably faces similar patterns, having recently required a literal federal pardon from the President of the United States for fraud after being credibly accused of nine felonies.
Defending the Investigation
Owens addresses criticism, stating she is sickened by how dishonest people are being, claiming there's nothing to see and that Erika is just a grieving widow. She asserts that the people involved didn't even write their own speeches for Charlie's memorial, showing how little they cared about Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a means to an end for them.
She states she doesn't care what people say on the internet who are clearly being paid to say the same thing. If people find her investigation into whether those taking over Turning Point USA will be good stewards of alleged billions going forward to be the most demonic thing in all of this, they are "out of order." She compares them to an out-of-order vending machine.
Owens says Lori reminds her of Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, someone who pretended to be sick and bedridden until opportunity arose, then suddenly could dance and scheme. She states she never misreads vibes and gets those vibes from Lori.
In closing, Owens says her answer to "Who is Erika Kirk?" is "Lori's child." She believes Lori comes first, Lori has always come first, and Lori is exceedingly problematic. She understands Lori is sick but notes that someday George Soros will be sick too, and that doesn't mean people can't discuss things he's involved in. The question remains what went on with the alleged marriage between Lori and Kent, with no evidence of it occurring and apparent contradictions across 16 years of documents.
Video Transcript
All right, you guys. Happy Friday. We are going on a journey. All right, a journey. So, yesterday we told you that by all accounts, the voice that is in Erica's ear is Lori, her mother. Lori is the pusher consigary. Now, as a part of the public psychological campaign, Erica has been curating videos to remind us that her mother is very ill. I don't dispute that. I do dispute that Erica was with her on September 10th receiving a treatment, but we'll get to that later. Not important for today. Lorie France, despite being ill, has recently been put on the board of Super Feed Technologies alongside Turning Point Actions COO Tyler Ber. Shady dude. They're effectively then business partners. They have been for a while. Actually, Lori was at first a director over at Superfeed. Rumors have been swirling online that money from TurningPoint Action has been routed into Super Feed. Now, I'm not a forensic accountant, so I can neither confirm nor deny that. The point is, what I want you to take away here is that these two are in cahoots. Okay? Now, we earlier broke the story that Tyler Ber is, among other things, allegedly taking Turning Point into the business of real estate in particular. It might be relevant then that we learn a little bit a thing or two about a witness to Lor's frankly bizarre divorce documents that we went over. Now I know I know she's a grieving widow. She's a grieving widow. Very required that I say that and uh we are therefore not allowed to speak about her turning point family or why the hell her mother was ever put on any board in the first place. But you know what? Billions of dollars are on the line. So, I'd like to mark myself safe from being emotionally manipulated by Operation Erica Bird. Welcome back to Bride of Erica. We have nothing to hide. Man, oh man. Loretta Abbis. Loretta Abbis or you know Waldd Fronfay Quinta something ain't right. Too many LLC's too many households always lurking behind her daughter. Shady divorce docs curated content. Even the lawyer on those shady divorce docs, Rebecca Kay, may she rest in peace. But even she was involved with horse racing. Is everybody somehow maybe connected to gambling? I want to know. All I know is that with mom, the vibes are not vibing for me. Okay, we have lottery tickets flying in the air with her grandma, grandparents. Well, on Monday's episode, or I guess earlier this week, Wednesday's episode, we went through Lori and Kent's divorce documents, right? The only two out of about six or so documents that were available, and we determined that something wasn't right. four different dates uh to the alleged wedding between Lori and Kent. Uh an unnottorized child care agreement, plus a different date for Erica's birthday than the one initially listed in the Cincinnati News. November 22nd across four sets of documents, but we caution people at home that hey, there's other docs. Therefore, it's plausible that those remaining documents made some necessary changes. Caution. I said caution. But you guys don't listen. One of you guys went ahead and tore the caution tape down. Sent me all the remaining documents. And those were interesting. I'll have you know that Erica's birthday on all of them is November 22nd. Yeah, it is. Her name is spelled differently a few times, too. Erica with the C. We'll go over that next week because what I want to talk about is a person that was in these documents. There was another person mentioned uh someone who is listed as the witness to these shenanigans. That's that's how I am going to hitherto refer to the divorce documents, the shenanigans. And that witness, his name is Richard Urbanbeck. I'll show you that here. Now, what I am blurring out on this document is it had his address, which allowed me to definitively confirm which Rick Urban Beck we were speaking about, who is the one that actually was the witness. Urban Beck, by the way, anybody that's gone through following any of the um people on X that have been deep diving alongside me, you will know that Urban Beck is not an unusual name when it comes to Lor's businesses. This is actually the family that she uses many times to either notoriize or uh to flat out incorporate her very many LLC's regarding which just want to say this. I'm never able to figure out what the heck the purposes of these LLC's are. What do these businesses actually do? Lori has LLC's coming out of her ears. Okay, this is Lori's got a lot going on. And I want to say something else. Her professional backstory in of itself, it's odd. It's kind of like Erica odd to be honest, right? Laurianne was a model. By her second marriage, we discover that she's working as a secretary. She then must have fallen and bumped her head and became a technological genius. There was no evidence of it. But then suddenly, whoop, she's arrived and she is just putting together tech companies as many people do. I am waiting for that late stage technological brilliance to fall upon me cuz I can barely uh sort through my apps. I don't even know how to get to the app store in a fast enough time. Let me take you through the litany of LLC's that she has filed. This is Lori, which feature Richard or Donna Urban Beck as either the secretary, the incorporator, the notary across a 25y year period. Okay. Now, Lori filed for Euroch in June of 1993. What does it do? Nobody knows. But Rick was featured. Lori and Rick filed for Euroch International UK. Nobody knows. That was in 1995. She filed for Techmetrics International 1993. And in the available 1998 docs pertaining to it, Richard Urban is again listed as the secretary. Lori and Rick filed for Techmetrics um limited. That's International UK. In '95, she also filed for virtual registration. Okay. in December of 1999. You can see that we've got uh uh both Donna and Rick Urban Beck had signed off on that. Also, does that say Yeah, there you see Lor's signature. Everyone's kind of involved in getting these documents together. And then we know Lori files for a tech. She goes to Arizona. We in Europe. We're doing tech everywhere. That's in August of 1997. And she eventually renamed that E3 Tech in 2017. Again, her Rick, Donna, you can go through these stocks yourself that their names are on there. Now, look, I've been around. I've seen some stuff. I can tell you my instincts when I see a ton of LLC's and I don't know what the heck they're doing, especially when they're identifying themselves as tech, as a technology. That should be easily identifiable. Okay, you're a tech genius in my mind. And I'm not saying this is the circumstance, but my pro my unprofessional opinion, my mind goes to money laundering, right? Got to get rid of money. People got to start creating LLC's. Now you're thinking you're very sensible. Hey, maybe that's not the case. There's no evidence for that. Good. Even the thought of that, he's just thinking about that would make us a demon. Oh, everything's above board always. Now, Rick Urban Beck under that scenario might just be a fantastic businessman. He certainly like I said is a longtime business associate of Lorie's following her from Ohio to Arizona and also there's Donna Urban Beck mentioned who's also featured on the divorce docs um I mean pardon on her business docs. So it sounds like it's a family business and ladies and gentlemen I would like to tell you a little bit about that Urban Beck family the Urban Beck scandal as it was termed that went down between Ohio and Kentucky around 2002. Oddly, the exact year about Lori and Erica move out, head out to Notre Dame Prep. More on that later. I'll have a timeline for you. So, there was a massive home building company called Urban Beck. Urban Beck Company. It was, as it sounds, owned and operated by generations of the Urban Beck family. The family had four brothers. Bill Urban Beck, our boy Rick Urban Beck, Gary Urbanbeck, married to Donna Urpbeck, who we just saw saw as a notary, and we have Jeff Urban Beck, plus their dad, Tony. You're never going to forget their dad, Tony, and their sister, Lori Anne Urban. Now, the Urban Becks approached new homeowners, offering to help them with construction, sometimes offering pathways uh for them to cut down financial fees pertaining to their new home ownership. You know, pay us directly, we'll handle the rest, kind of a deal. Young people buying homes for the first time, but the homes, it turns out, were not being built, and their mortgages, it turned out, uh were not being paid either. Take a listen to this news clip. Urban served 21 years after pleading guilty to defrauding banks of $34 million. That was back in April of 2003. So he was a home builder who funneled the proceeds from home closings back to his company and himself. So his crimes left hundreds of home buyers on the hook for millions of dollars in unpaid mortgages. I really don't want to have that clip oversell to you, underell to you what went down. I just want you guys to understand like what this case was about. It was about missing money. $34 million seemingly evaporated from well-meaning people who were trying to buy their homes. It was, like I said, Ohio Kentucky that was for the ages. I am talking real courtroom drama. Forged documents, shady subcontractors. Uh, check out just some snippets from articles recapping this case. I'm going to get to this part. Lori Lori an Urban Beck was a standout character. Tells us that by 2004, Lorie Urban seemingly had enough of her family. She already knew that her brother Bill had thought about killing her. So when dad Tony offered to give her $500 for her birthday, she then turned the conversation to her testimony about Bill, she held her ground. No, she was not going to lie under oath. Pardon? Tony offered her money to uh change her her testimony about Bill. Lorie told her lawyer about the conversation and the FBI was looped in. She agreed to wear a wire to capture information. This is this is this is the sister. Over the next few days, she met with her dad and Bill as they tried to convince her to agree to a fake storyline and then she started the fraud to help the company's cash flow and that it got over her head. Then she let Bill assume responsibility. The FBI soon arrested both men. Oh, okay. Sister wore a wire. Let's read this portion. The proposed milliondoll hits. Okay. Hey, Tony Urban, that's dad, had been in a federal medical prison in Lexington for just a few months when he tried to hire someone to murder and kidnap the people connected with putting him and his son behind bars. He wanted then senior US District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel and then retired assistant US attorney Kathleen Brinkman killed. Tony also targeted an FBI agent's ch children. He told a wouldbe hitman to bury the agent's three kids in a casket with crackers, water, and an airpipe for 10 days. He recruited a fellow inmate about to be released from prison to commit the crime. So, the inmate flipped on Urban Beck and wore a wire for the FBI. The recording caught Tony Urban offering to pay fake hitman half a million dollars in gold stock first. Then planned to pay the man and the other another half a million dollars from offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands after news of the kidnappings hit the newspapers. Oh, okay. Here's another piece of just this case. You just This case is amazing. This is a a quarter million on the green. Bill Urban Beck lost thousands of dollars when he ratted out his own friend in 2009. Oh man, this one goes on and he asked his friend to to put a4 million dollars to dig it up. uh you know, dig a hole and put the money in there so that he had a little cash when he got out. Okay. Another personal favorite portion of mine from the news of that day is the notary testifying that Rick's brother, Bill, would sometimes ask her to notoriize documents while the person involved was not even present. Right. She she said Bill Urban Beck sometimes asked her to notoriize documents from the people who supposedly had signed them were not in her presence. Oh yeah. Uh that's illegal. And it is exactly what I pointed out to you guys having not known this whole story and background not not knowing that this Rick was going to come out come up in the documents that I couldn't access at the time. I said something's not something's not right here. I'm a notary up in New York. That jumps out at me. It seems odd that anybody would sign away their rights uh to a court case, a legal representation without a notary being present. That just did not seem to me to be a clerical error. Anyway, um documents in the court's absent notoriization. It's not how court cases work. It is to me, it looked to me like someone was looking the other way, like somebody maybe knew the county clerk and was up to no good. Now, like they told you, like these newspapers are telling you, when things were going down, Lorianne sister wanted to cooperate with the police. That was a no no. You'd never go against the family. So, they started threatening her. Then, she goes into hiding until she gets a phone call from her dad, Tony. And her dad tells her it's the last time you might see me. She thinks he's going to commit suicide. So she runs down to the house, comes out of hiding, only to realize her brothers, Bill, Gary, Rick, they're there telling her, "Hey, hey, okay, brothers are there." Lori doesn't care. Like I you read, we went through already, she wears wire for the feds, meets up with dad again, yada yada yada. She's terrified Bill is going to kill her. The recording is played in court. They get him. They get Tony. Bill pleads guilty. He picks up additional charges for threatening to kill his sister. He's ultimately or uh sentenced to 30 years in prison. He ends up serving 21 years after a judge later shortens his sentence. His dad, Tony, who had just been sentenced to 5 years and 10 and 10 months for bank fraud with a concurrent sentence for 60 months for obstruction of justice. Well, he later then received another 20 years because, you know, he tried to hire the the hitman to kill the US district judge and the US attorney and the FBI agent's children. Okay, that's the Urban Beck family. Laurianne, the sister, does a year, one count of bank fraud. Brothers Gary and Jeff get off scot-free. Rick Urpenbeck, the youngest of the clan, Lorie Urpbeck, agrees to let go of his Kentucky legal license, but he otherwise avoids any charges because his name was not on the business. But he did have to testify. And throughout his testimony, we learn that one of the big mysteries of this case was why his father, Tony, had transferred so much money to LLC's that were under Rick's control. We can read this together. Here we go. In his deposition Thursday, Rick Urban Beck testified, "You'd have to ask my dad." Actually, what was in his head? I saw it as a good investment. He had already always, you know, helped the other boys out from the beginning. I was the one who worked two jobs, three jobs through college, two jobs through law school, while he was helping out, you know, the other boys, the Urban Beck Company, and he wanted to give me the opportunity to purchase these assets. That's they say right there. The biggest question to be answered is why Tony Urpenbeck agreed to shift so much money into Rick Urban Beck's control. Now mystery Rick made out real nice uh because he wasn't involved with the business. Just a hardworking kid. His family's just up to it. But you want to know what never happened? You know who didn't make out nice to homeowners? They never got their money back. Where did it go? Some of us um I mean some of it of course went to Bill's lavish lifestyle, but where did the rest of the money get siphoned off to? It's just one big Scooby-Doo mystery. Anyway, the story goes in 2024, Bill Urban Beck does get released from prison. Apparently, like it shows us he attempted to stow away some cash. This is like a neverending scandal. Take a listen. The Urban Beck name was back in the news in 2009 when FBI agents dug up a cooler full of cash from Summit Hills Country Club in Crestview Hills. A friend had buried money that he received from Urban Beck on the course next to Urban Beck's former home. Urban Beck had hoped to use that money after he got out of prison. Now, why is this relevant? Why is this story relevant? Because it just seems to be the case that fraud surrounds Lori. Lorie Fronbay Walstead, whatever your her name is, fraud just seems to surround her. From her parents to her grandparents to the person that's doing her documents, it's just always around her to her very many businesses and nobody knows what they do. She just can't seem to get away with it. And do you know what's crazy to me? that despite her obviously being very much aware of who the Urban Becks were, a case which included attempts of coordinated murder and kidnapping of children, putting them into boxes. Lori didn't seem scared. No, she didn't go, "Hey, maybe I just don't want to. I know it sounds like you really were just at school and you don't know why you got all this money, but I'm good." Yeah, I think if if my lawyer called me, if Noah if I looked into Noah and Noah's family's in prison for murdering and putting people in boxes or threatening to put people in boxes and um it's a trial of a century, I'd say, you know what, I I can probably figure out how to incorporate my LLC by myself. It's really easy now. Everything's so easy these days. Like, I'm good, Noah. Thank you. Not Lori. No, not for Lori. She brings this guy in and it just so happens to be I know it's so coincidental these are clerical errors just so happens to be that she's got some docs look a little shady and I looked through those documents and no it was not corrected and no Erica's birthday never does even across different documents seem to go back to the 20th. So Lori did not at all uh I guess have the impetus to think that maybe working with this family in any capacity was immoral, demonic. What are some of the adjectives that they keep describing me as? Yeah. All of No, she was good. It's interesting that Lori sends Erica to Tesseract in Arizona and the school then suddenly has to shutter its doors because it once again another financial scandal. Money evaporates. Nobody knows where it went. People think that it may have been a scam that just keeps happening. Poor I mean just it must be just so scary for Erica to see this so much in her life. I'm scared. I'm scared for Erica. That's why I'm doing this series. I'm scared for her. She's a grieving widow. Later on, uh, Lori is going to start working with the Farnsworth's camera guy, taking down the camera, and then she's going to strike up this partnership with Tyler Boyer, this very shady COO of Turning Point Action, who is going to introduce Erica to Charlie Kirk. And in the background, Lori and Tyler are going to do business together. Now, remember when people wondered why it was that Lori was a board member at Super Feed Technologies? Um, and I'm in front of Erica and I told you guys that the answer that Erica gave me was because they just needed a familiar name. [snorts] Yeah. I was born yesterday. Let's go with that. I was born on Thursday. Yesterday. and Tyler and Lori, by the way, Superfeed already objectively involved in scandal. You can look us up yourself. Claims of bribery. I think I had it the headline in Yahoo News. Kari Lakes bribery scandal involves a shady GOP tech firm. Yeah, they're referring to Super Feed Technologies had its business revoked by the state of Arizona while it employed Jeff Dwit, its former COO, and Lake, who had received more than $100,000 from the entity in the personal financial disclosure that she filed last month. How weird. How weird. I just want to be clear. Loriy's a victim. Everywhere she goes, this just happens. Money goes missing everywhere she goes, even when her daughter's just going to school. Okay. And Tyler Ber probably the same. I know that he recently required a literal federal pardon [laughter] from the president of United States for fraud. He was credibly accused of nine felonies related to trying to subvert the election, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy. He's still facing state charges. But that's just everybody just doesn't understand how much Turning Point is going through right now and they're really sad. They're really sad. They're grieving differently. Yeah. Now, I also broke the news to you. I said at the top that Tyler Boyer is telling people that they are now going to get into the real estate business to help young homeowners because it was Charlie's vision, right? He's telling people that uh Charlie the ghost who they can manipulate to do whatever they want always, you know, he always tells students not to go to college and to instead get married young and therefore the next logical step would be for Turning Point to go into home ownership to help them become homeowners. Trust the science. If you think that's weird, it's because you're demonic. Erica's grieving widow. Lori, in case you missed it, is the one person that Erica now posts for sympathy. She's curating Lori, right? To let you know that that Lori is sick. That that to me felt like a person I should probably be looking into, right? How dare you have any questions about anything right now. Do you know where Erica's go? She lost her husband and her mom's sick. I think these people are sick in the head. There is something very wrong with Lorie. There is something very wrong with Erica. And there was something very wrong with this picture of Lori Tyler and Erica Kirk being together. There just is. It's my opinion. It's my show. They really think we are this stupid. Anyway, we'll be right back after a quick break. All right, you guys. Thanks to you. Last year, Pre-born helped rescue over 80,000 babies, and today you can help save even more. Every single day, thousands of women hear the same devastating lie that abortion is their only option, that they're alone, and that there is no hope.

They realize it's not just an image on the screen. It's hearing the baby's heartbeat maybe for the very first time.

My answer is Lor's child. I think Lori comes first. Lori has always come first, and Lori is exceedingly problematic. Okay, I understand she is sick. I understand someday George Soros is going to be sick. Okay, doesn't mean that we don't get to discuss the things that he is involved in. The question that I was asking is what went on with this marriage between Lori and Kent, this alleged marriage between Lauri and Kent. Why do I feel like it's not even a real marriage? I I I see no evidence of the marriage occurring or like it just seems like AC I don't know if a marriage can occur across 16 years. [laughter] I don't know if it can happen that many times across two documents. And like I said, we have the other documents and we will show you them at the beginning of next week. Well, fortunately for me, another sleuth, someone in Marblehead, Massachusetts, said, "How can I help? I have access documents here. I can take a look and see what I can find." Lori and Kent, and they were not able to pull up any marriage documents. Doesn't mean that they don't exist. But they were able to pull up some deeds where Lori and Kent um had signed the deeds over um and when they had first received the deed to their home in Marblehead in Marblehead, Massachusetts. And there's a little interesting tidbit here where Lori and Kent are listing as having been a couple from Rhode Island. From North Kingtown, Rhode Island. North Kingston, Rhode Island. First off, I want to tell you that that's not a place. So, there's Kingston. I would know because I went to the University of Rhode Island. There's clerical errors, but there's Kingston, Rhode Island, which is about 2 miles long and is just the University of Rhode Island campus where I graduated from. And then there's South Kingtown, North Kingtown, and apparently they lived there, except they I can't find a trace of Lori and Kent having lived in Rhode Island. So, my Rhode Island sleuths, people down at the county, maybe in Rhode Island, if you want to take a peek and see if you can find this couple, this lovely couple, and maybe they got married in Rhode Island. Well, I guess no, because they're divorce stocks here. They got married in Marblehead, Massachusetts, but people are saying they can't find those divorce docs, but this makes it seem like they maybe got married in Rhode Island. But you can maybe just get married in Marblehead while you're living together in Rhode Island. Maybe they were renting property. I don't know, but I want to know. You find something, Rhode Islanders, hit me up. More tips at candace Owens.com. More tips at candace Owens.com. Now, jumping back into our Erica timeline. Now, we talked about how she went to this school, Tesaract. It's also going to be a scam, financial scam, but that's fine. She's the victim. after Erica Fronfay leaves Tesaract in 2000 because the school is facing a financial crisis. I also want to point out like I said the school's being run by Jewish women. They're even renting from a Jewish school uh the looking glass and stereotypically I want to say something stereotypically Jewish people are known for very good accounting but not in this case not sure what happened there. thereafter. There is evidence and we have not been able to find anything concrete, but there is evidence that Erica went back up to Ohio for about three years uh from 2000 to 2002. She apparently attended a school known as St. Ursula Villa. Some it's not it St. Ursula Villa is actually separate from St. Ursula Academy. It's a privatelyowned and at first glance you would think it was a Catholic school but actually despite its name and despite it being on the C St. Ursula um academy property it was not owned by the nuns as St. Ursula Academy was St. Ursula Villa actually had private funding in private it was completely separate uh from the Catholic Church at this time from what I've able to see. So, and I cannot pull up who was funding this school at that time. So, if you have yearbooks from St. Ursula Villa, not the broader academy, but St. Ursula Villa um in from the years 2000 to let's take it up to 2003 and you see Erica France in there or you remember her being there, please reach out to us. Um like I said, these two schools were operating same place, separate entities. Send us an email. What happens next in her life though is pretty easy to document. Erica is at Notre Dame Prep. And I should note, I did not know this at the time, but Notre Dame Prep was formerly the Tesseract School, the one that they had to shutter in North Scottdale. Now the doors are reo reopened and it's Notre Dame Prep. And it's very easy to document Erica throughout these years. In 2003, she's playing volleyball because she gets involved in sports. We can just find her. And I also want to say this, it's also easy to track her because despite her claim that she what she got into pageantry because she got a mailer one year. Let's let's roll that clip of what she said again yesterday. Was it after that? That's when you started pageantss or when did that come about? Right. So So the pageant world to me is something that it was an interesting season of life. It was nothing that I was ever groomed for. It was nothing that was ever on my radar. Um I I just Yeah, I wanted to play professional basketball. That was my thing ever since I was five. Like that was my I wanted to play and that's um that was all I wanted to do. I was a gym rat for a lack of better term. And um I remember getting something in the mail when I had come home from um school one summer and it was like, "Hey, you should compete at Miss Arizona USA. Someone nominated you." And I was like, I don't know who would nominate me for that, but okay. So, I shared it with my mom and I and we I was reviewing all the different things that you have to go through and and I thought to myself, if I were to ever win this, um my the most important thing out of it would be to be able to make a difference with the title. I don't care about the photo shoots. I just want to be able to overbook myself, being able to get involved with the local communities, with the local um organizations that are actually making a difference. So the pageant world for me was something that was not a form of narcissism. It was more along the terms of being a steward for my state, especially as it hit our hundth year uh celebration. Okay. So it wasn't about narcissism. She wasn't groomed. By the way, if you have to say that you weren't groomed for something, you probably were. You just have to just kind of say that it's probably because you were. And the reality is that every single year from 2005 through to 2012, Erica was involved in beauty pageantss. So that's seven years of her life that we could find. There could be more. There could be she could have been doing pageantry while she was in Ohio for a couple of years. I'll let you know. Could be posted. I should also add here that some pageant uh women disputed her narrative. They wrote to us that she was just randomly invited. They said that minors in particular are not just freely solicit solicited to join pageant world and that their photo has to be submitted by a parent or a guardian. I'm not an expert on that and maybe I I wasn't pretty enough. I was a little funnyl looking. Had a little bit of an underbite, but I never received any of these mailers that she's talking about. Anyway, let's jump into an Erica timeline and you guys can follow along here. 2005. Erica is uh still attending Notre Dame Prep and she is playing basketball. Uh she was a junior in high school from 2005 2006. She is going to win first runner up in the National America Miss Arizona pageant and she will represent Arizona in the upcoming All-American Miss Pageant in November of 2005 which takes place in Los Angeles. Um that year, Lorie France is listed in the House bill budget for the US Department of Homeland Securities um for another business that she has called IMAT Laboratories. Like I said, don't ask me what any of her businesses do. It's not clear. In August, just ahead of Erica's senior year, uh she this is 2006 now. In August, just ahead of her senior year, she's going to win the National American Miss Teen Pageant. and she wins a chance and takes it to travel to DC to present her plans to Representative JD Hayworth and Senator John Kill. Um Erica becomes involved with a charity known as Andrea's Closet which works with a hospital in Winslow, Arizona for kids. Uh Erica notes that she stops by that hospital often on the way to basketball games and that she wants to establish her own charity in the future. That year, uh her father, Kent France, is listed as a risk assessment contractor. He's mentioned also as a resident of Surprise, Arizona. Um concerned basically he's trying to get more funding from the DHS. You get this sense that now the family is like, "We need government contracts for stuff that'll work for us." Lori is going to have to close down virtual registration international incororated, the one that Rick helped her open, because the tax the tax department force closes it for lack of a tax filing. So that you that tends to happen a lot with some of these LLC's. Uh in 2007 we have Erica winning the Miss American I'm sorry uh her teen year begins. So you kind of you have the pageant at the end of a year and then you have the crown for the following year for those of you who are like me and do not know how pageantry world works. So if you're competing in 2006, you are competing for 2007 and then 2007 is going to be your year. So that is her America Miss American team year and that is also the year that she's going to graduate from Notre Dame Prep in the spring receiving a full basketball and academic scholarship to Regis University which is in Denver, Colorado. She is also named as a finalist for the Arizona Interscolastic Association's Everyday Heroes Award. Okay, that's the first time you're going to hear that expression, Everyday Heroes. We know that's going to end up being what she calls her charity once it gets minted in 2009, but that's it. She got an award for that and I guess it's stuck. Uh, in the 2007 and 2008 school year, uh, Erica is going to begin playing basketball. She got the scholarship and she does that. Regis University begins in the fall. I could find two newspaper entries of her uh, scoring um, November 24th game and against South Dakota. And then another entry on December 1st. And yeah, she seemingly, if I was just following the paper trail, I would say she had abandoned her scholarship. And I was wondering like, did she transfer to Loyola Marramount? Like where did what happened here? And uh you should know, of course, uh never leave never leave Lori out. Lori's go uh first off, she's listed now as having been married to Larry Ginta. That's the first time um that we see that because Joe Abbis dies and it looks like she is married. Lori and Larry may maybe they're saying that they're just together. Who knows? And that's why they're listing him. I'm not positive. Um but Lori every year there's always a new LLC. So Lori is going to file a Tech International with Rick Urban on the documents and that will um Oh, I'm sorry. That's they had already filed that. It gets canceled by the tax department. That's right. the there's so many LLC's and so many cancellations. This one gets canceled. 2008 is where it gets pretty interesting because I was trying to find Erica's very present and suddenly in 2008 I can't find her. Okay, I put this as like Erica's missing school year. Now, she herself disputes this in various times. She says she played basketball for 2 years and she's going to note in a future alumni packet for Notre Dame that she was indeed playing basketball at Regis University for two years, but I could not confirm that. And interestingly enough, Regis University still has her basketball stat page up and they're on my side. They say they only have a record of her playing for from 2007 to 2008. Uh that's the season that she played. Now, she may have just stayed on. It's possible that she continued her studies. She said she had an academic scholarship um at Regis. I thought that I was like maybe she stopped playing basketball and she decided to just focus on her studies and that's why I can't find her at basketball games. Maybe that's why Regis is uh not acknowledging that she continued to play. But then I thought, nope, I think something else happened here. She does indeed go missing because Erica gives a an interview in 2020 where she's reflecting on her life. It's a it's a rather obscure interview where which has since been removed, by the way. They contacted someone and got this taken down, but not before I got it. Not before I got it and saved it. As soon as I saw I said save this, they're going to start going backwards and trying to delete stuff. And this one was a gem. and she's going to confirm that uh after she passes her crown. So in 2007 she's wearing the crown and then she passes her crown. She is going to confirm that she does indeed go missing during after that period. So this would be of course in 2008. Take a listen to what Erica says herself. I prayed for God to just strip my ego from all of that stuff. All of that world. all of the plastic hat crown stuff with the banner that was just it was never it was me from the standpoint of a philanthropic side, but the hometown hero thing was just weird and it was unhealthy and it was just ego fueling. Um, so I locked myself in my room basically turned into a hermit for about a good eight months. The only person I would see outside of my family was my pastor's wife. And we would go to the church and she would just pour into me um every single day. And I just was reading scripture and and read the Bible cover to cover multiple times. That is very interesting. How can an active college student purport to see no one but her mother and her pastor's wife for eight months? She says nobody saw her. Check. That's true. I'm highlighting this particular period of time because I suspect that this could potentially represent a time when Erica trained to become a Christian. Again, this is my personal opinion. It's my podcast. But given what we've learned about Fort Wuka, an intel base that literally trains Christians, I'm asking myself, was she just training? Was she training to become a Christian? Was she training to be able uh to impress people like Charlie by just always having a Bible verse? Now, she can't even get a sentence uh without making it somehow a Bible verse or holy in some degree. And there's something that registers to people as off about that. I want to know who is her pastor's wife. Who is the pastor's wife? It was the only person that saw Erica for eight months. And again, she is dating when this happened herself. She says she hands over her crown. She wanted to strip herself from all this plastic. And by strip herself, she means she's going to then continue to compete every single year. In fact, she competes that year, too. But who is the pastor's wife? Uh, we tried to find out by going through her old tweets via an account that Erica has since locked down. Shout out to the Mommy Sleuth who said, "Hey, Candace, I have access. [laughter] Do you want my password?" Special shout out to that hero. Not all heroes wear cape. Some people just have login on X. Okay. and what we were able to discern and again we're putting this as a possibility and since Turning Point didn't answer our first uh slate of questions we there's no point and oh actually we particularly went out to them two days ago with this specific question who was the pastor they didn't answer but we thought a possible church could be the city of grace which is in Scottsdale city of grace of Scottsdale Pastor Terry Christrist is mentioned on her ex feed as early as 2011 she says pastor Terry is awesome. Um, we got some more tweets here. Uh, I cherish your friendship and I am grateful for your love, Judith Chris. That would be his wife. You are the epitome of a proverbs. I am totally obsessed with City of Grace. She says, "Sunday mornings with my Tyler Massie." Oh no, you guys know Tyler Massie. She didn't date anybody before. Charlie, oh no, you guys are messing up. My heart is overwhelmed with incredible amounts of joy. Congratulations, Terry Chris. Judith Crisp. The vibes are vibing. Now, coincidentally, and I'm going to bring Ashley uh on in a second to explain a little more, but I'll tell you that Pastor Terry is very close with Brian Houston, the Hillsong Church founder who infamously attempted to cover up his father's pedophilia. Uh Brian Houston um on his father who was never charged said quote I have no doubt now that my father was a serial pedophile and will probably never know the extent of it. That's from him. That's a quote from him. She she has been friends since 1994. So Erica has been friends with them. So, let me bring on Ashley to explain that the Terry, Christ, and Judith and the relation in a better manner because she's way deeper down that rabbit hole than I am. Yeah. So, like we said, C um Pastor Terry Christrist and P his wife, Pastor Judith Christ was they were very close with um Erica at this time from 2011 to around 2016 is where we can track their relationship. And interestingly, Pastor Terry Gri has a very interesting background. So, he is um very good friends with Brian Houston, who was the founder of Hillsong. And like you said, he was very much um like he covered up his his father's pedophilia for years, and he actually never got charged for it. And so, Brian Houston resigned eventually. And then right afterwards, Pastor Terry Christ also resigned from um his church that he was leading, but he said it wasn't related. So, nothing to see there. And then one other weird thing that happened was Pastor Terry Christ um and his wife were accused of having, well, this is just word on the street, but they would have their congregants like throw up into bags to get rid of big bad spirits. And so, that's just word on the street. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly, allegedly. I will say that even regarding the pastor, even though his son is making the allegation uh that he believes his father was a pedophile, if he was not charged, then we cannot state that um definitively. But you know, there seems to be some smoke there that that is what has been alleged even by his own son. And like I said, I'm not deep on that, but it is interesting. And I am not certain this is the pastor's wife that she went into training with. I'm not certain she had to throw up in a bag uh you know, to get rid of bad spirits. But I do know that YouTube will do what it has to do. The YouTube creators will do what they have to do. The Baron Coleman's, the Nissas, they'll do what they have to do to get to the bottom of that because that's this is an interesting turning point in Erica's life in my view. And she strikes me as someone who there are going to be some psychiatrists in her life and some psychologists. There's just that is what people are perceiving is a spiritual darkness. And sometimes spiritual darkness comes uh from people who are purporting to be spiritually light. People who can't get out a sentence without saying the Lord, the Lord, the Lord um could have something else going on as we just learned with the Hillsong scandal. Look, that's all we know for sure. Uh otherwise we can confirm to you guys that uh despite Erica's hiatus, eightmonth hiatus according to her, she does make it to compete for MissUSA Colorado 2009 and she places third runner up. So that's 2008. We are going to leave it there. We can show you if you want to um I guess we well you already saw the timeline so you guys are good. We're going to take a very brief break and we'll be right back. All right, you guys. The Chem Trail climate exposures are going full force this winter.

Everyone out here making a there's nothing to see here. She's just a grieving widow. Everybody's fine at turning point. These people love Charlie. These people didn't even write their own speeches for his memorial. Take it to the bank. They didn't even write their own speeches for the memorial. They had people writing their speeches. That's how little these people cared about Charlie Kirk. Charlie was a means to them. Go ahead, call me a monster. Make a video. You're out here telling you it's okay. I'm going to I'm going to debunk what Ken is saying. Okay. Erica lied. Oh. Okay. Well, yeah. Well, that's how some people grieve. They grieve by lying. They grieve by lying. You guys need to settle down. Why do you care so much if she's lying? Why do you care so much that she suddenly apparently had a clear enough mind to decide that she wanted to take the board to a vote to make her the CEO while her children are not at home? Why do you care so much? It's weird. You guys are the weird ones. How's that SC up going? It's failing. We literally do not care at all what everybody is saying on the internet that is clearly being paid to say the same thing. If you find the most demonic thing that happened in all of this to be me investigating it and investigating whether or not the people that are taking over Turning Point USA are actually going to be good stewards of the billions alleged billions going forward. If you find that to be the most demonic thing, you're out of order, my dude. You're just out of order. You're just a you're out of order. You know, like when you used to see like uh like you go to the machine and a soda can just like a little piece of paper out of order. That's you right now. You're just out of whack. You know what? Lori reminds me I got to say this. I shouldn't say it, but I just get the vibe. I look at her and I just know, you know? I don't know. No, but I know. She gives me Grandpa Joe vibes. You know, Grandpa Joe, he was like a number one. He He got away with it. Nobody even thinks about Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. He was out there. He's, "Oh, hey, Charlie. Oh, I'm sick. Hey, nice to see you visit." Charlie pulled out a golden ticket. Grandpa Joe did a whole dance routine. He said, "Oh, look. I'm good. Let's go." And then Grandpa Joe, look at Grandpa. That's Lori. That's Lori. And then Grandpa Joe, he gets down. He's the factory. Charlie was a good kid. He's a good kid. Charlie was a very good kid. Grandpa Joe gets down the factory, tells him, "Seal the recipe. Steal the recipe. Give it to Slugworth." Vibes. I never misread them. Vibes. Anyway, some more Erica lies. We'll get into that next week, but uh I just now reflect on her telling me during our sit down that she received the questions ahead of time for her interview with Barry Weiss. Like she knew that Barry was going to ask a question about me. You know, she said, you know, they didn't rehearse her answers, but she knew what they were going to ask obviously. And therefore, we can conclude that none of the questions caught her off guard. She definitely thought through recounting her time in New York City, whether or not she was dating. And I want you to pay special attention now because it's even crazier in the retrospect to her body language as she's about to tell us that she didn't date anybody for 5 years before she met Charlie. Uh, take a listen to this. I'm a 26-year-old Christian woman living in New York City. I would like to stay here long term, but I wonder whether it's sustainable. Do you believe there's a place for women like myself in modern cities who care about having a career, but also marrying a like-minded Christian conservative man? Well, yeah. So, it just depends on where you're looking. You know, if you're on the apps, I don't know if you're on the apps. I don't know if to be I'm not going to ask you your personal journey, but what I will say is when I lived out here, I was here for 5 years. I never dated here because I saw vicariously through my roommate how terrible it was. Somehow getting drinks was the replacement of having coffee and breakfast. I personally would rather have coffee or brunch with someone than going I just I don't drink. I find it unproductive. Not because I'm holier than whatever. I that's not I just don't operate that way. But I always thought it was very strange how she would go to drinks with one guy and then go to dinner with another. So it goes twofold here. So if you're expecting to marry someone that I was blessed with, like a Charlie, you have to be the type of woman that will attract a Charlie. Are you going to church? Are you going to Bible study? Did you tell your pastor that you are ready for the Lord to bring into your life the man that you've been praying for? You yourself need to be prepared for that man. And only you will know how to do that. Does that mean staying out and going out with the girls? I'm not saying you sit on your couch and all of a sudden he's going to knock on your door and be like, "Honey, let's rende vu." Like that's not how it happens. It's not. Granted, my situation was a little different. I went to You went to a job interview literally. So this is how good the Lord is. He knew that because I was not dating in New York City. He knew that in order for me to know that that was my man, he had to blanket Charlie as a job interview because if that went in, no joke, if he came to me and said, "Hey, let's go on a date to Bill's Burgers." I'd be like, "I am so sorry. I thank you, but no, we're not doing this." That was my mindset. I am not I was not in that headsp space. I just wasn't. Yeah, it's crazy in the retrospect. Who is the Lord? Is it the Lori? Is it the Lori or Lord? Is it the Lori? I don't know. But I'm going to find out because there's some interesting things that happen in this timeline as we start to go forward. Ask yourself, what is the intended purpose of that lie? Not not necessary. Who is the intended audience for that lie? That is completely unnecessary. Nobody that I know would judge Erica if she was like, "You know what? I was down. I was like Candace. I was down at One Oak. I was eating pizza at 3:00 a.m. in the morning at Artichoke." Okay. And then my life cleaned up after that. And I'm so grateful that I met a wonderful person like Charlie. I did the 20s hard in New York City. No one There's no expectation for her to pretend she never date anybody. like she just was, "Oh, you know, I was sitting at home observing observing my roommate and go so terrible. No, please." No. The Lori knew. The Lori knew what exactly what I needed, which was Charlie. And the Tyler knew that I would have to be sat down and told that um it was a business opportunity. And what the Lorie knew was probably everything about Charlie. Just like people say that Lori tells her what to say and who to target in every rooms. I find that to be likely. I can't no know that. I don't think Lori or Erica is going to cop to that. But when people are saying it across various points in her life that the comment on maybe is Lori. Yeah, that feels right to me. Her whole demeanor there is just crazy. What What's the purpose of that lie? And of course, you guys, I hate to tell you this, but the reality is is that from 2013, 2018, the five years preceding her relationship with Charlie, Charlie, Erica had multiple boyfriends. She rang in the new year with a boyfriend. Okay. In 2018. So, yeah. No. Uh, the correct sentence should be, I did not have a boyfriend in uh New New York. I didn't go out to meet a boyfriend cuz I already had one and maybe he was living in DC or something. But that's the reason that I didn't go. I had a boyfriend. That's the answer. I always had a boyfriend and they were in different cities. So there was not actually a single year that we could find that Erica France was single. Opposite of what she says to be true. Like I said, more on that next week. We're going to have a quick break and then I'll get to some of your comments because we are going long here. All right, you guys. Between groceries, travel, and higher prices, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if you are already relying on credit cards to cover the basics. If that debt is piling up, you should know that you are not alone. If you're a homeowner, you might have considered reaching out to American Financing, but hesitated because you don't want to give up that low mortgage rate. Well, that's why American Financing created the Smart Equity Loan, which is a simple, smart way to get your finances back on track without giving up your low mortgage rate.

I These ones always make me laugh. This one says, "Bat Walsh is hiding in the bathroom at the Daily Wire watching this episode." Because I know obviously the Daily Wire's campus. Whenever you guys say this, I picture the employees all huddled up in the restroom watching my episode. I hope that's how it's actually going down. Bellpoke writes, "I skipped my classes at Tesseract School to watch this." Well, good because that's not going to be a school for long. And Ashen Tennessee writes, "I would like to thank Dan Bonino for sending me here." Fantastic. Yeah, look, maybe these guys will update their perspectives with more information because it I got to say these aren't clerical error errors, my friend. These are not clerical errors. I have the rest of the documents. Like I said, we'll go over that for you guys on Monday. I just had to give you the Urban Beck scandal full stop so you could really appreciate that a story of murder and families involved in all that. It was not a non-starter. Not for the Lori. Not for the Lori. Um, I want to remind you guys also if you'd like to support our show, we have merch on the website. That is the best way to do it. Go sign up. We are independent. We are uh also standing against the entire world it seems. Not really actually. The people have never been more with us and the media has never been more against us. And I do want to say that when MSNBC as they are um are do dedicating entire segments to calling us devilish, that's fantastic. Like I want all of the right people hate me. I just want to be very clear. I'm like whoop vote of confidence, vote of confidence that I am doing the right thing because I do not want to be on these people's sides. And I love that it's bringing the left and the right together. My audience has never been more left and right at the same time. And I think that we're really starting to see who rules over us and is constantly trying to keep us engaged in the Republican versus Democrat game, which serves nobody except the elite pedophiles that are ruling over us. Um, Rachel writes, "I am greatly enjoying this Bride of Charlie series." Thank you. It was so much work. Shout out to the team. You guys have no idea. We don't even have like, you know, obviously I got fired from Daily Wire, so I'm just like in a basement. We don't even have good chairs, man. You don't even have good chairs. They don't even have a window. Shout out to the team. Shout out to Dom and Ash and Skyler, Savannah and Bella. You don't know what the Chris You don't know what he's got to do editing this trailer. Me and Chris on a Saturday. Um, yeah, people saying we're going to go after the marketing company that did the trailer. Yeah. Okay. [laughter] It's ghetto over here. Okay. And we're having fun. We are having fun. Uh, next person going to get some more of your comments here. Rachel writes, "I support you and I hope you stay safe. I watch you every single day and learn so much from you. I love how you explain things and bring a different perspective in a world that feels fake. You really do the work to show what's real. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. And like I said, just like everywhere I go, I I feel the love from the people and I know I'm never going to get a fair shake from the media, but I just do not care. Uh the VIFA writes, "Went to Hillsong in Oslo in my 20s. I remember how creepy it was being groomed to believe that the big pastor uh did for his dad." Uh what the big pastor did for his dad and covering up the pedophile pedophilery, I don't know if that's a word, was was God's love and forgiveness. Wow. That is crazy that they tried to tell you that. That's the D. I mean, you feel it with these Cavalry Chapels, too, too. As I went through and showed you how many of them were involved in pedophilia scandals, and we watched Rob McCoy try to like whitewash somebody who actually went to prison. Um, it's just crazy. It's something's not right. And you, we have to understand these are indeed psychological operations. And they they really peaked at the Charlie Kirk assassination and trying to shame us into wanting answers. Joshua Steves writes, "The comments on Grahams and Dan Bonino's Candace's demonic video only confirms that the world sees the truth and has your back. Go Max, Candace, the series was great." Do you know what's really funny just thinking about that in in general? Like just as a man, this is a serious question. I'll leave a rhetorical like as a man if you see like 45 other dudes the microphone all being theatrical demonic. Oh, this is crazy. I'm coming for you, Candace. I'm going to like harm you. They were like there was violence. They were saying what they were going to do violently. What deserves to happen to her? How do you how do you not like recognize that there is nothing manly about that? It just never lands when men get all fired up and are shouting about a a trailer that was dropped by a girl. Like it's just what are you doing? What are you just stop doing that? Please stop doing that. And to the other men, if 75,000 other men think they're brave for making videos, you don't need to be the 76th. I promise you, none of you are brave. None of you are changing the game. Okay? You're all being emotionally impacted by a trailer that hasn't even come out. It's lame. It's very lame. This is why I like the East. I keep telling you guys, this is why I like Russia. I just feel like in Russia when you go on YouTube, there's not a bunch of men crying. I just I feel like they're not like, "Stop it, Candace. Bad things happen when good men don't make videos on YouTube about a series that hasn't come out. A two-minute trailer. Like just please stop. I am begging you all to just stop. They're probably not going to stop. It's fine. Okay. Keep being crybaby men. Um Corey Henry writes, "I have lived in Cincinnati for 60 years and I remember this so clearly. The Urban Beck scandal. Go Max Candace. Christ is king." What do you guys think the real reason was Lori got out of there? Oh, I forgot. Cuz she slipped and fell and bumped her head and became a technological genius. Like I said, I can't wait till that happens to me cuz I'm really bad at tech and I I need that. I just need that in my life. Lastly, the Nicole writes, "I just missed Charlie as an audience member uh would after the years of listening, not only seeing his content come up just continues to remind me it won't ever be the same. Thank you, Candace, for doing what others will. I'm prayin
