[00:03] Are you taking responsibility or are you
[00:06] giving them a device and saying go down
[00:08] that rabbit hole? I'm trying to go to
[00:11] Pilates class. Do you want your kid to
[00:14] be a thought leader or an assassin?
[00:17] >> What is she talking about? So Candace
[00:19] Owens just had her 4 and a half hour
[00:22] meeting with one Erica Kirk and she says
[00:24] that the temperature has now cooled down
[00:27] and she said that the meeting was very
[00:29] productive. Let's just directly read
[00:31] what she said. Quote, "Erica and I had
[00:34] an extremely productive 4 and a half
[00:36] hour meeting that I think we both feel
[00:37] should have taken place a lot earlier
[00:39] than it did. We agreed much more than I
[00:41] had anticipated. Of course, we also
[00:43] disagreed on various points and people
[00:45] as well. But most importantly, we were
[00:46] able to share intel and clarify intent.
[00:49] But the question is, can you actually
[00:51] trust the information Erica Kirk is
[00:54] giving you? For example, Candace posted
[00:56] these Mikey McCoy call logs yesterday,
[00:58] but the question is, can we trust it?
[01:01] Because according to some of these
[01:03] timestamps, somebody a bunch of people
[01:07] are lying, right? It says 12:24, Mikey
[01:09] McCoy calls Elizabeth McCoy, that's his
[01:11] wife, and will stay on the phone with
[01:12] her for 10 minutes. And at 12:26, Mikey
[01:15] McCoy adds Erica to the call. Now, that
[01:18] is 3 minutes after Charlie Kirk was shot
[01:21] at 12:23. problem is, however you take
[01:24] it, that information already is
[01:26] contradictory with the New York Times
[01:29] because the Times reported that Miss
[01:31] Kirk was sitting in her mother's
[01:32] hospital room at 11:23 a.m. local
[01:35] Phoenix time, which is 12:23 Utah time
[01:38] when she saw the number of her husband's
[01:40] longtime assistant, Mikey McCoy, appear
[01:42] on her phone. It's a threeminute
[01:45] difference. So, some might say it
[01:47] doesn't really matter. But I'm a firm
[01:49] believer in small lies lead to bigger
[01:53] lies or people who tell small lies have
[01:55] the propensity to also tell bigger lies.
[01:58] And maybe we would let this go except
[02:00] for the fact that now we have discovered
[02:03] or people online have discovered entire
[02:05] history, chapters of Erica Kirk's life
[02:08] that we never knew existed. For example,
[02:11] if we go to Wikipedia, it says that
[02:13] Erica and Charlie Kirk started dating in
[02:15] New York City in 2019.
[02:18] And based on a recent town hall with
[02:20] Barry Weiss, she said that she was not
[02:23] dating anybody in the years prior to
[02:26] meeting Charlie.
[02:27] >> When I lived out here, I was here for 5
[02:28] years. I never dated here cuz I saw
[02:32] vicariously through my roommate how
[02:33] terrible it was. Somehow getting drinks
[02:36] was the replacement of having coffee and
[02:39] breakfast. I personally would rather
[02:40] have coffee or brunch with someone than
[02:42] go I just I don't drink. I find it
[02:44] unproductive. Not because I'm holier
[02:46] than whatever. I that's not I just don't
[02:49] operate that way. But I always thought
[02:52] it was very strange how she would go to
[02:53] drinks with one guy and then go to
[02:56] dinner with another. So it goes twofold
[02:58] here. So if you're expecting to marry
[03:01] someone that I was blessed with, like a
[03:03] Charlie, you have to be the type of
[03:05] woman that will attract a Charlie. Are
[03:08] you going to church? Are you going to
[03:10] Bible study? Did you tell your pastor
[03:12] that you are ready for the Lord to bring
[03:15] into your life the man that you've been
[03:16] praying for?
[03:17] >> So, don't drink. Go to church so you can
[03:20] attract a good man like Charlie Kirk.
[03:23] But, um, we don't know for sure if she
[03:26] wasn't drinking, but she did really
[03:28] enjoy posing with alcoholic beverages.
[03:31] For someone who supposedly was not a fan
[03:33] of drinking culture, she sure was fine
[03:36] using it for commercial or financial
[03:38] gain. Here's her with a glass of
[03:41] champagne. It says, "It's Wednesday, so
[03:43] treat yourself to a little champagne."
[03:45] And did she really not date while she
[03:48] lived in New York City? Because based on
[03:51] my soothing, she lived in New York from
[03:53] at least about 2016 onwards to when she
[03:57] married Charlie in 2021. This is an
[04:00] article I found from Women magazine and
[04:04] it says, "Amid her physical
[04:06] transformation, Erica found Bible in 365
[04:10] in 2016, which evolved into her own
[04:12] clothing brand. She said, quote, I
[04:14] started Bible in 365 in my New York City
[04:18] apartment." So, this was 2016 when
[04:21] confirmed she did live in New York City.
[04:23] So, why do I point out this little
[04:24] detail? Well, it's because remember she
[04:27] said that she didn't date anybody in New
[04:29] York City. So presumably between the
[04:31] years of uh 2016 and 2019 when she met
[04:34] Charlie, she didn't date. Well, here is
[04:37] a photo that the internet slleuth dug up
[04:39] from September of 2017
[04:42] with one Cat Phillips. And the caption
[04:45] says, "Yes, we're that couple who gets
[04:47] painting lessons together." And here you
[04:49] could see Erica France and Cabbat
[04:52] Phillips. I don't know about you, but
[04:54] that looked like a little bit more than
[04:56] just a one-off date. It looked like they
[04:57] were an actual couple as the caption
[04:59] said. People were commenting gorgeous
[05:02] couple love birds in these posts that
[05:05] have now since been deleted. So either
[05:08] they're trying to hide this relationship
[05:10] or maybe they just had a really bad
[05:12] breakup. I know people tend to sometimes
[05:14] delete photos from relationships that
[05:17] they are no longer in. But
[05:19] interestingly, Kabat Phillips was
[05:21] actually at one point Charlie Kirk's
[05:24] producer and he is now a senior editor
[05:27] at the Daily Wire. And just yesterday,
[05:30] December 16, 2025, he gave a talk about
[05:33] quote, "How to lead like Charlie." You
[05:36] got to understand, I am not from this
[05:38] world of media. And I think all this
[05:40] kind of incestuity
[05:43] is weird to me. But the bigger point is,
[05:47] why does Erica have to lie about this?
[05:49] Is it just for her to prop up this image
[05:53] that she is a conservative woman, quote
[05:55] unquote? Because you can't hide this
[05:57] kind of stuff. The internet is
[05:59] undefeated. So, not only do we now know
[06:01] that she was dating before Charlie,
[06:03] which is fine. It's a totally normal
[06:05] thing to do, but she was also engaged,
[06:08] perhaps even married. Luna Bear Studios
[06:11] posted this on March 16th, 2015.
[06:14] Prepping another couple's gallery for
[06:16] delivery. Erica France and JT Massie.
[06:19] You both are amazing humans and I love
[06:22] shooting you. So much laughter and love.
[06:24] It was perfection. This is what happens
[06:27] when your entire image is propped up by
[06:31] something that just is not true. If you
[06:34] are not this woman, don't pretend to be
[06:37] right.
[06:39] Nobody cares who you were in the past.
[06:41] It's all about who you are now. So, you
[06:43] could say, "Hey, I was this crazy party
[06:45] girl. I dated around a lot. I was even
[06:47] engaged, but I have since found my
[06:50] faith. I've realized a lot of those
[06:52] behaviors were toxic, so I'm changing
[06:54] course and making my life better." That
[06:56] is a perfectly good story. I don't
[06:57] understand why you have to lie. Speaking
[07:00] of lies, you know how Erica Kirk is
[07:02] going around and promoting Charlie's
[07:04] book right now, doing a whole media
[07:05] tour. Well, once again, she was caught
[07:08] in another lie.
[07:09] >> A couple of weeks ago, Erica Kirk went
[07:11] on Megan Kelly's show and was talking
[07:14] about Charlie Kirk's new book, Stop in
[07:16] the Name of God. When Megan Kelly asks
[07:19] her if she's read the book in its
[07:21] entirety, she says yes. But last night
[07:24] on Sean Hannity, she tells a different
[07:27] story. Watch this.
[07:29] >> To read it.
[07:30] >> When?
[07:31] >> Yeah. as much as I can driving under the
[07:33] office or
[07:34] >> what I mean. Was it written entire in
[07:36] its entirety before Charlie died?
[07:38] >> Yes, it was.
[07:38] >> Yes, it was. He finished writing this I
[07:40] believe in July, June or July of of this
[07:44] year.
[07:44] >> So, you had read it?
[07:46] >> Mhm.
[07:47] >> Because I read it again. I read the
[07:48] whole thing,
[07:49] >> you know, and
[07:51] >> I'll be honest, I can't read the last
[07:52] few pages. I'm not there yet.
[07:55] >> It's just emotionally cuz once this book
[07:57] is done, it's done.
[07:58] >> Now, I get it. This is something really
[08:00] small and maybe it doesn't even matter.
[08:03] It's possible she just didn't bring that
[08:05] detail up to Megan Kelly. But as the
[08:08] saying goes, if you can lie about small
[08:11] things, you can also lie about big
[08:14] things.
[08:15] >> Mhm. Whoever is careless with the truth
[08:18] in small matters cannot be trusted with
[08:21] the important matters. Albert Einstein.
[08:23] And tomorrow, Turning Points Amfest
[08:26] America Fest 2025
[08:28] kicks off December 18th to the 21st. It
[08:32] says, "America's future starts here. The
[08:36] biggest conservative movement in the
[08:38] country." Turning Point's annual America
[08:40] Fest Conference will be held December
[08:42] 18th to the 21st, 2025 at the Phoenix
[08:45] Convention Center. This year's event
[08:47] will be unlike any other, a powerful
[08:49] celebration in faith, freedom, and the
[08:50] legacy of their founder, Charlie Kirk.
[08:52] Charlie's life was a testament to faith,
[08:54] courage, and conviction. From his
[08:56] earliest days, he believed America was
[08:57] worth fighting for, and he dedicated
[08:59] every moment of his 31 years to that
[09:01] cause. Grounded in God's faith, and
[09:03] driven by a calling bigger than himself,
[09:05] Charlie poured his life into others,
[09:07] raising up a generation bold in faith,
[09:10] steadfast in love, of freedom, and
[09:11] unafraid to defend this nation. What
[09:14] began as a vision of an 18-year-old in a
[09:17] small garage. What is it with the
[09:19] garages? like things can start in places
[09:21] other than a garage as well. I know it
[09:23] sounds cool and all, but anyway, uh in
[09:26] Lamont, Illinois grew into one of the
[09:29] most powerful grassroots movements in
[09:30] America. Through turning point, Charlie
[09:32] ignited a fire in the hearts of
[09:33] millions. He showed us that truth must
[09:36] never be silenced, that courage is
[09:38] contagious, and that freedom must be
[09:40] protected at all costs. I totally agree.
[09:43] Truth must never be silenced, which is a
[09:46] little bizarre because there's a lot of
[09:47] people out there, including Erica Kirk,
[09:49] telling people to stop talking. At
[09:52] America Fest 2025, we gathered to honor
[09:54] Charlie's legacy, to continue the
[09:55] mission he began, and to celebrate the
[09:57] country he loved. Over four
[09:59] unforgettable days, thousands of
[10:00] attendees will hear from the nation's
[10:02] top leaders, engage with over 100
[10:04] partner organizations, and experience
[10:06] world-class training designed to
[10:07] strengthen their leadership and
[10:09] activism. Well, I got a few questions
[10:11] because remember Charlie had a lot of
[10:14] issues with some of these organizations
[10:16] with these donors. He was in a major
[10:19] conflict near the end of his life. So,
[10:22] who are these partner organizations? Who
[10:24] are these speakers? Who chose these
[10:26] speakers? And which country's interests
[10:30] do they represent?
[10:32] >> H does the aesthetics of this show
[10:34] remind you of anything? Anyone? Maybe
[10:37] this guy. Okay, so follow this timeline
[10:40] here with me. On August 9th, Yer
[10:42] Netanyahu, the son of BB Netanyahu,
[10:45] announces that he's going to be starting
[10:46] a new podcast with, once again, very
[10:50] America first vibes. And then a few days
[10:53] later on August 13th, Harrison Smith
[10:55] reports that he was told by someone
[10:57] close to Charlie Kirk that Charlie
[10:59] thinks Israel will kill him if he turns
[11:02] against them. And then, of course, we
[11:03] all know what happened about a month
[11:05] later. Tragedy strikes. But check this
[11:08] out. Who does Erica Kirk just so happen
[11:10] to be standing next to in this Apac
[11:13] photo? Yep, none other than Yayer. Yeah,
[11:18] probably nothing to see here. I know
[11:20] that was just a fun little conspiracy
[11:22] rabbit hole. I'm sure there is really
[11:24] nothing to see there, but the point that
[11:27] I was trying to make is that for an
[11:29] America first organization,
[11:31] these guys sure do care a hell of a lot
[11:34] about a certain other foreign country.
[11:37] Charlie and I have always been very
[11:38] clear on our stance.
[11:41] Israel and Jewish people.
[11:44] It's awful.
[11:48] Awful. Anti-semitism is
[11:52] what what healing factor comes out of
[11:55] hating Jewish people? What healing
[11:57] factor comes out of hating Christians?
[11:59] What healing factor comes out?
[12:02] Hate in general. Nothing.
[12:05] Nothing.
[12:08] Charlie always would say very clearly,
[12:11] "Jew hate was brainw
[12:16] Israel twice together."
[12:21] And to be able to walk in the place
[12:24] where our Lord walked
[12:28] and see the Bible come to life in
[12:30] Technicolor.
[12:32] How could you hate that place?
[12:37] How could you hate the Jewish people?
[12:40] >> The assassination of my husband was
[12:42] heavy. But what really upsets me is when
[12:45] people don't like Israel. Erica,
[12:47] Shabbat, Shalom, Kirk. Okay, that is
[12:49] obviously a joke. But I think one of the
[12:52] biggest issues that I've always brought
[12:54] up is this conflation of anti-semitism
[12:56] with anti-ionism. And if you continue to
[13:00] conflate Judaism with Zionism, that in
[13:03] fact is a very dangerous thing. And it
[13:06] is what leads to, I think, the true rise
[13:09] of anti-semitism around the world. But
[13:12] why does Erica even matter? That's
[13:14] something that I think may be a question
[13:16] that you guys have. Why are we even
[13:19] talking about her? Well, I think she
[13:22] matters because she is taking Charlie's
[13:24] place at top the American political
[13:27] empire. the whole thing. It's not just
[13:29] conservative Americans. It's all
[13:31] Americans. She literally has her own tab
[13:34] on CBS News. Okay. It's like, yes,
[13:37] horrible attack at Bondi Beach. You got
[13:39] the Brown University shooting that we
[13:41] still have no clue who did as of the
[13:45] time I'm filming this. And we got an
[13:47] Erica Kirk tab. She's essentially being
[13:49] propped up as America's mom now. So the
[13:53] question that I would like to ask all of
[13:55] you is would you trust or do you trust
[13:58] this person with your life, your
[14:01] community, your family, your future,
[14:04] your country? That is it for me this
[14:06] week. What are your thoughts about Erica

[14:43] >> We were in Miss USA together.
[14:44] >> Oh, cool.
[14:44] >> So, she was Arizona and I was Miss North
[14:46] Carolina. It's just it's like genuinely
[14:48] refreshing to have a conversation with
[14:51] somebody that like has the same beliefs.
[14:54] You coming in here just like owning it.
[14:55] I

[14:59] >> how do you text those nails that long?
[15:02] >> They're real.
[15:03] >> You give like a mean back scratch. Just
[15:05] kidding.
