Summary

Host Candace Owens investigates connections between a 2022 death involving explosives, the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt on Trump, and subsequent geopolitical events involving PETN explosives. She challenges official narratives around these incidents and questions why key figures aren't pursuing answers, while filing FOIA requests for government travel records.

Insights
  • Official narratives around high-profile incidents are being actively suppressed, with coordinated messaging to discourage public inquiry and investigation
  • PETN explosives appear as a connecting thread across multiple incidents, suggesting potential coordination or supply chain manipulation
  • Widow and family members of victims are pursuing independent investigations when official channels fail to provide satisfactory answers
  • Media figures and organizations are using emotional narratives and attacks on investigators to deflect from substantive questions about security failures
  • Government transparency mechanisms (FOIA) are being weaponized through 'unusual circumstances' delays to prevent public accountability

I expect that you're going to have a good Monday because boy, oh boy, do I have a story for you because who would have known that bringing up Butler would open such an interesting line of inquiry. I mean, I was contacted immediately by people who knew the real victim of that evening and it wasn't Donald J. Trump. It was actually a firefighter named Corey Comparator, a story which features an actual widow who I am told still has some lingering questions about what took place on that fateful evening. Speaking of widows, Erica cried again on camera over the weekend and it was deemed my fault again and again and again every time. But you know what, after my memory resurfaced regarding her summertime anti-Israel stance, I cannot really be all that bothered with the Department of War's emotional asset. In fact, I'm rather peeved. Lastly, we FOIAed Cash Patel's travel schedule for the days leading up to Charlie Kirk's assassination. I'll tell you why. What you should know at the top of show is that the response we got only deepens my knack for questions as to why on earth this administration is referring to themselves as the most transparent administration ever. LOL. Nope. Welcome back to Candice. Never stop asking questions. It's what keeps you free. That was something that Charlie Kirk expressed often to his great many followers. The organization that he built was actually built upon that philosophy and it has since done a complete and mysterious 180. They don't want us asking any questions specifically about Charlie's assassination. They say, or they're trying to present as though it's a sign of true friendship to stay mum, to not prod the positively absurd narrative. And that's actually pretty ironic because Charlie was a friend to President Trump. They let us know every minute of every day. And do you know what he thought? Do you want to know something that he formally rejected? The Butler Pennsylvania assassination narrative attempt a narrative, if you will. He did not buy it for one second. So credit to ex-user Crystal Smallnd for digging up this gem of Charlie unpacking why he didn't accept the narrative. Take a listen. The more we learn about Trump getting shot in the assassination attempt, the less it makes sense. This is one of the largest scandals in American history. Probably even the same as JFK. By the way, if it wasn't for divine providence, Donald Trump will be dead right now. Two bullets went right by him, one of which hit him and he got shot. We now know that the shooter was identified by Secret Service three hours beforehand. That there was a roof unattended 120 yards away from Trump. In broad daylight, the shooter brought out a ladder from his car that he bought at Home Depot. Climbed the ladder with a rifle, set himself up. People saw him, Trump supporters, police did nothing. Secret Service did nothing. He was able to set up a shot, unobstructed, of the president. How was this possible exactly? Was this malevolence? Was this just incompetence? This involved potentially dozens of people that were in law enforcement. Oh, and even one more local law enforcement climbed up the ladder and the guy pointed a gun at him and he just walked away. Why wasn't there a call to take Trump off stage? Oh, we have a commotion. Take Trump off stage. Why didn't the counter sniper team go off scope and not do their job? Why was there no drone reconnaissance or helicopter support? I'm just the layman. I'm not a military guy. I'm not in personal protection, but I'm also not a moron. Was this a setup? What's going on here? And the lack of concern from the media is so telling because there are many members of the media that want Donald J. Trump dead and they don't want to get to the bottom of this. We were two inches away from one of the darkest chapters in American history. No one has been fired. No one has resigned and no one will probably be held accountable. But this is one of the strangest, most suspicious stories in American history. Put in the comments what you think actually happened because it doesn't make any sense. Wow, Charlie. I couldn't have said it better myself. I feel like he just summed up the last nine months of my investigation where nothing makes sense. Yeah, you're right. What was up with the security apparatus? What were his friends doing? No one called 911. Mike E. McCoy didn't call. He called his wife. Tarot starts recording. It is so chilling to hear Charlie basically describe regarding Butler what we have all recognized regarding his assassination. Nothing adds up. Nothing is making sense. Yeah, we may just be the laymen, but we can think rationally. And a person who is acting remarkably suspicious is his own wife. So no, Charlie, your assessment that Butler would be one of the darkest chapters in American history was wrong. In fact, your assassination is much darker and much deeper. And it may even include and feature Donald J. Trump in the story because we have questions about his lack of an action. He asks, why didn't they fire anybody? Well, Charlie, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your wife is actually going to offer your members and your security team a raise after your assassination, like she did to Dan Flood. Nothing makes sense. The team being offered promotions after your assassination. Anyway, moving on, buckle up, ladies and gentlemen, because we are going on a journey, which actually begins on August 23, 2022. There was a man named Mark A. Leity, and he died in a rather bizarre accident. The initial story is that he was in his backyard, messing around with his burn barrel when something suddenly exploded. And they don't know what exactly it is that exploded in that burn barrel, but something did and caused a piece of shrapnel to hit his neck and end his life. Mark Leity was just 48 years young. Take a listen to local news coverage of the event. It's being called a freak accident, a healthy, active 48-year-old killed when something inside the burn barrel he was using ignited, causing an explosion, sending shrapnel flying through the air. It's heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking. Chris Leity is still trying to process the death of his younger brother, Mark. He was burning papers or whatever. This was the story that I got. And something exploded. Something was in there. Something exploded and a piece had come up and, you know, that was it. That's, I'm still in shock. At some point, I will try to put my arms around it, but at this point now, I can't. The Leity family still doesn't know what ignited inside the barrel that caused that explosion. How curious. Okay. His neck hit with a piece of shrapnel from an explosive. You can obviously tell that his brother has questions about that narrative. And he wasn't the only one, by the way. Mark Leity's best friends had questions as well. One of his friends in particular, who he had known since high school, did not fully accept the burn barrel narrative. The first reason was due to what Mark Leity did for a living. Mark Leity, not mentioned here in that news clip, was a supervisor for a company called Surefire Wireline LLC. That is in Kittening, Pennsylvania. Okay. Surefire Wireline works with oil and gas companies, and they specialize in what's known as pump down perforating for oil and gas wells. Don't worry. I'll explain it to you. You don't need to know much, essentially, what it means is that they punch holes so that oil and gas can flow through horizontally. Okay. Now, why am I telling you that? Why do we need to know about that? Because that technique requires the use of a very specific explosive known as PETN. Think back to when you used to watch like Bugs Bunny, the Road Rutter, and they always had the TNT explosive. Well, things have been updated since. And now, the favorite explosive that is used is PETN. Okay. So Mark Leity's high school friend, one of his best friends did not believe that he had died because he just burned some random stuff in a barrel because he knew that Mark had access to very dangerous explosives. And also that Mark knew how to deal with them. Right. He was particularly careful with those explosives. He knew how to handle them rather. And then there's this. Allegedly, Mark A. Leity had confessed to his longtime high school friend just a week before he died that he had illegally taken some explosives from his job. The ATF was apparently investigating for this, investigating him for this. At least that's what was told to what Courtney Fief, who was a former ATF agent, confided to somebody that he had this confession a week before he died. By the way, just as a general question, why would any person want to steal explosives from work? Right. To be clear, just a tiny bit, a couple of grams of PETN causes a massive explosion. I'm going to demonstrate for that for you guys in a little bit. So it begs the question, what could a person do with larger amounts of it? Is there like a black market for those types of explosives? Otherwise, why risk blowing yourself up, taking it from work, getting into trouble, being investigated by the FES? Was there somebody on the outside that was seeking to buy it in larger quantities on the side? The answer is I don't know. What I do know is what happened on July 13, 2024, just 30 minutes away from kiddin'ing Pennsylvania. And this happened in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump survived an assassination attempt while on stage at his rally. The sad part is that Mark Leedy's longtime high school friend who didn't exactly buy the narrative of the barrel, he did not survive. Mark Leedy's friend's name was Corey Comparator. Yes, it was Corey Comparator. Mark Leedy had confided his secret to that he had done something that he wasn't supposed to. But again, I lost the question to what end? Did he tell Corey more about what he was doing with those explosives? Sadly, neither man is alive today. As we know, Corey and his family had quite an odd evening the night of the Butler rally in Pennsylvania because they weren't supposed to be in the front of the audience to see President Trump speak. In fact, Corey had grabbed regular tickets for he and his family. They were amongst the crowd. So they were quite surprised when while waiting in a large crowd, an unknown woman asked them if they'd like to be escorted to the very front. Who was this woman? Surely with so many cameras reporting live from the rally, someone must have captured this moment. Who was it that had the authority to make such a move happen? That's a big authority, right? Corey Comparator then is shot in the head. It's worth noting that Mark A. Leedy is also friends with various members of the Crooks family on Facebook that of course could just be a small town coincidence. We can't really extrapolate anything from that. I'm just mentioning it as a fact because it is one. Anyway, let's hit fast forward again. Just two months after the Butler shooting, Corey Comparator loses his life and then a never before seen terror attack is executed with precision which involves PETN explosives. On September 17th and on September 18th of 2024, there was a massive series of pager explosions across Lebanon and Syria wounding more than 3,000 people and killing 12 people including two children. I'm going to allow you to listen to these survivor stories of people who were not the intended targets. Take a listen. On a normal day in September 2024, Hussein Taney was playing at home in southern Lebanon when an unfamiliar noise rang out from his dad's pager. In another home in southern Lebanon, Sarah Jafar had no time to respond after picking up a family member's pager. She has undergone 45 surgeries in nine months with additional procedures to come including reconstructive surgery on her face and fingers. She has lost four fingers in the attack, two of which are now fused together and is waiting to receive a prosthetic right eye. While Hezbollah has admitted that most of the dead and wounded were its fighters or staff, the explosions also seriously injured many civilians. Get the new fix and fall tariff from British Gas where prices can only slide down. If energy prices climb up, no worries, you'll be fixed for two years but if later the market falls, so will your tariff. A win-win sorted automatically by us. Okay, so you should know that the pagers were rigged as I told you with PET and explosive. The intended target were Hezbollah operatives, but what I want to draw your attention to is just the trajectory of their injuries, right? So these people, they heard the pager go off, whether it was their dad's pager or their uncle's pager, they went to go grab the pager, they held it in their hands and to get it to go off, you had to hit the okay button. Hit the okay button and it subsequently exploded. This is why it took off their fingers. In one case, it took off a person's nose because it means its trajectory is going from here to here and in many cases it took out their eye because they were looking at it. PETN exploding, shrapnel and of course because of the shrapnel, they have cuts all over their faces. So we know who did this obviously because they were very proud that they did this. It was Israel. How did they do it? Well, they interrupted the supply chain of pagers by creating a bunch of fake shell companies and selling the rigged pagers to people who were affiliated with Hezbollah. Admittedly, by the way, kind of genius, the thought of how they infiltrated was, well, pagers are a very dated technology and there are only so many people who are mass buying pagers, right? Not many people are bulk purchasing them, so to speak, but the exact details of where they interrupted the supply chain, how they manufactured these pagers, how they amassed the PETN or where they amassed the PETN explosive from, where that assembly took place of the rig tech, all that information remains unknown. What is known is how proud the Mossad was and is of their ability to infiltrate specifically companies and organizations and I'm just going to let you listen to one of the Mossad agents applauding their abilities to do just that following the pager attack of how they did it. Take a listen. We have an incredible array of possibilities of creating foreign companies that have no way being traced back to Israel, shell companies over shell companies who affect the supply chain to our favor. We create a pretend world. We are a global production company. We write the screenplay where the directors, where the producers, where the main actors, the world is our stage. So the company in Taiwan, Gold Apollo, did they know that they were working with people from Mossad? Gold Apollo had zero clue that they are working with the Mossad. And neither did Hezbollah. When they are buying from us, they have zero clue that they are buying from the Mossad. We make like Truman Show. Everything is controlled by us behind the scene. In their experience, everything is normal. Everything was 100% kosher, including businessmen, marketing, engineers, showroom, everything. It's just amazing. We create a Truman Show. We are the directors, the actors, the performers. Everything in your life will be fake and we will be pressing a play. It's just incredible that when I say it, it sounds like an anti-Semitic experience, but they say it's just like, you know, we're taking credit for what we do. We're the best at this and we're sophisticated and we'd like to tell you here on 60 Minutes. Anyway, I want to also show you a graphic which demonstrates exactly how they were able to rig the pagers with the explosive. This graphic was provided by Reuters who estimated that they used just six grams of PETN explosive to accomplish this far-reaching attack. Just six grams put inside of a functional pager. That's important too, because they actually had to make sure that they didn't put enough so as to render the pager ineffective. They had to just put enough that it would explode. Here you go. On that left-hand side, you can see where it's pointing to the detonation material. Tiny, tiny. You got the battery cell and the detonation material right there on the bottom, the PETN explosive. It's a very, very thin amount. It's incredible. Six grams. Why am I telling you that? Now, assuming that Reuters is accurate, we can then reasonably assert that six grams of PETN is not enough to confidently kill someone. They only killed 12 out of 3,000 people. You can also confidently assess that they would have to use more if they wanted to guarantee more fatalities. In that regard, I would say the operation was kind of a failure because it demonstrated without question their precision, and it was psychologically damaging, no doubt, but in terms of real-world consequences, you don't want to just take off the fingers of your enemies. That's only going to strengthen their resolve against you while they are still very much alive. Anyway, it got me wondering if six grams could take out fingers and eyes, how much PETN explosive would you need to guarantee a fatality? What would that look like? What would the size of that injury look like on a person? So, I decided to research and see if there were maybe some random YouTube channels that were dedicated to demonstrating, doubling that amount, maybe tripling that amount, and seeing what would happen. And ladies and gentlemen, I am not kidding you. When I say that this was the very first video that I stumbled across on YouTube, just typing in PETN explosive, and it was just guys that were using 20 grams of PETN explosive within a tiny capsule, and they were using it against bulletproof glass to see what would happen. And I want you to pay very close attention to what this person says, because I could not believe my ears. I was freaking out. Take a listen. 20-gram booster, PETN charge. We're going to use it against the transaction window to see what the results are. This is the first one that went the way I expected it to go. I didn't expect a half pounder to make a like a laser beam through the guy's head. It's about the same as a gunshot. This is NIJ-4 rated glass from a 30-out-6. It's about the same foot diameter. It's about the same as a gunshot from a 30-out-6. If you shot it against that bulletproof you heard him correctly. I promise you, that was the first one I hit. He decided and it was the same results as a 30-out-6. 20 grams of PETN mimics the punch of a 30-out-6 bullet. Unbelievable. I want to be clear. This video was not posted to prove or debunk any conspiracy theories. In fact, it was published back in May of 2025. Charlie was very much alive. That's a full four months before Charlie was murdered. This was merely just par for the course on a channel that focuses on testing explosives and guns. There's no aim for them. They're just, this is what they do. This is how they have fun. It is fascinating that they are saying it mimics the diameter of a 30-out-6 bullet, especially given the persistent conspiracy theory that Charlie's road mic was rigged with PETN explosive. I haven't much talked spoken about that because I wasn't a PETN expert until this Butler situation, speaking with people close to the situation, telling me about this strange set of circumstances and the possibility of some explosives ring. And I went, wait, what? What are we talking about? Anyway, enough of conspiracy. Let's return to the facts. We've asked forward now to February 4th, 2025, just a few weeks after Trump's inauguration into his second presidential term, BB Netanyahu enters the White House and presents President Trump with a gift, a golden pager, a nod to the Mossad's pager operation. I'm sorry, but why? Why? What is the context of that? Is that like an inside joke? Is it a threat? Because Donald Trump was not president when the pager operation took place, President Biden was. So why would he gift this to Donald Trump? American troops were not involved. So far as we know, why would he gift this to Donald Trump? What is the significance of this? This is not a traditional gift. This does not make sense in a traditional sense. Like they give you something, a samurai sword from Japan. I think they gave him a samurai helmet. Actually, it was the last gifts that came from Japan. Saudi Arabia gifts like jewelry and crowns. Switzerland gifted a very appropriately a Swiss watch. What's up with the golden pager, BB? Frankly, it was crass and it was off-putting. Children were murdered in this operation and I'd like to think that America had nothing to do with it, but you know, I know better. We are after all supplying Israel with white phosphorus, the chemical to burn Lebanese civilians alive. Did we know more about the pager attack than we let on? Did we assist somehow in this invisible supply chain that was happening? Anyway, suffice it to say that Butler now fascinates me. Most of all, Dan Bongino's strange reaction to it, Trump's reaction to it, he satisfied, he wants it shut down. That's not how I'm able to act. It was an assassination attempt against him. Was it an assassination attempt or was it an assassination success? Was it an assassination complete? I mean, perhaps the only good portion of this story is that I have it on authority. The widow of Cory Comparator and the family of Cory Comparator is not like Trump. They are not satisfied with the investigation. They are not happy with the fact that Secret Service agents never lost their jobs. They are not satisfied with the answers that they are receiving about how Cory Comparator was killed. Imagine that. Imagine a widow who has questions. And last I was informed, that particular widow didn't take over her husband's career in the blink of an eye. So like I said, imagine that. We'll be right back after a break.

I also want to tell you guys about the Wellness Company because Americans love sushi. Over the last two decades, raw fish consumption has exploded. Sushi bars are everywhere. Grocery stores and gas stations sell it, and millions of people now eat raw fish weekly. But there is a hidden risk most people do not know about, and that is parasites. Salmon is one of the most popular fish worldwide, but it naturally contains more than 70 parasites. Most are tiny and nearly impossible to see, and they're making their way into the human body. Once inside, parasites can hide for years while frequently laying eggs before any symptoms appear. This is why many physicians are raising awareness about parasite exposure. Dr. Peter McCullough recommends doing a parasite cleanse at least once a year as preventative measure. The Wellness Company offers a hard-to-access RX parasite cleanse, USA compounded ivermectin and embendazole, which paralyzes the parasite's nervous system, then starves them. You can now get to a more budget-friendly 45-cap-so option that costs $250 less, giving you two 21-day parasite cleanse cycles. Same formula as the original, just a smaller quantity. So head to twc.health slash kandace and use code KANDACE at checkout to save $52, plus you'll get free shipping. Again, that's twc.health slash kandace, and it's for USA residents only. I also want to remind you guys about Pure Talk because America does not stand for 250 years as a beacon of hope without the brave men and women willing to put their lives on the line to defend it. To honor those patriots, Pure Talk and its customers will raise $250,000 for America's Warrior Partnership by the end of July. This essential foundation stands on the front line of preventing veteran suicide. They do this by covering the basics, housing, access to VA benefits, transportation, and counseling, the tangible things that give veterans a hand up. And here's how you can help. When you switch your cell phone service to Pure Talk this month, you'll have an opportunity to round up to support America's Warrior Partnership and Pure Talk will match that donation until they hit $250,000. So enjoy unlimited talk, unlimited text, and unlimited high speed data for just $34.99 a month.

So head to puretalk.com slash Owens to make the switch to Pure Talk. Again, puretalk.com slash Owens to start saving. All right, you guys, I am FOIAing around, and I am not finding out my friends. Like I am not finding out at all. Who knew that this tool would be so difficult to get answers? They can just say, we don't want to tell you. That's what it feels like at least. So I requested Cash Patel's schedule, a travel schedule, and the lead up to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Just another thread that I'm pulling at, I don't know, because of journalism, but also because there was this FBI plane, definitively an FBI plane, that landed into Salt Lake City, Utah on September 8th. So you know, Charlie, remember, he first went to Salt Lake City on the morning of the 10th, which I found to be very unusual, that he would go there and do that weird restaurant interview, whatever it was, as his final interview. Well, there was an FBI plane that went to Salt Lake City, Utah on September 8th, and it's just interesting. That's all. Could be nothing. But it leaves Richmond, Virginia at 9.50 a.m. It gets into Salt Lake at 12 p.m., and then it departs Salt Lake just an hour later. Really quick trip. Doesn't mean Cash Patel was on the flight, but you know, just doing a bit of journalism, ruling things out, asking questions. So here's what we requested, and we had to fill out a form, which had to then be submitted. So we're just copying and pasting to you what we wrote, because like I said, it's a form submission. We wrote pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, listed that I request copies of records reflecting the official schedule, calendar, meetings, and travel of Cash Patel for the period of September 7th, 2025 through to September 10th, 2025. This request includes, but is not limited to, official calendars and schedule entries, travel authorizations, travel itineraries, transportation or flight records related to official government travel, expense vouchers and reimbursement records, meeting logs, visitor logs associated with official events, emails or memoranda, scheduling or coordinating official travel or appearances. I request that the search include records maintained by the Office of the Director, Executive Secretariat, Protective Operations Units, and any office responsible for executive travel coordination. To minimize burden, I am not requesting classified information, protective methodology, sensitive security details, or personal private information unrelated to official government business. Please provide responsive records and electronic format where possible. If portions of the records are exempt from disclosure, please release all reasonably segregable, non-exempt portions, identify the specific FOIA exemptions, or lie it upon for any withholding. Thank you. Okay, fair. We just went over where he traveled. We're trying to say a lot to just say, these are three days, whoever is in control of the calendar, schedule, we want that, we're not asking you for classified information, we're not fighting you. We don't want to know where he was doing personally, we don't want to know what, you know, his girlfriend's concert was, if he's not an FBI business, it's not our business. That's our right. That's what we are paying for to fly him around. In fact, we're even paying for his girlfriend's security. At least we can do his FOIA around and find out. Unfortunately, here's what we received back. Please be advised that unusual circumstances apply to the processing of your request. And then we go back to, here are what we can deem to be unusual circumstances. Okay, number one, there is a need to search for and collect records from field offices, other that are separate from the FBI. That's not going to be us. Number two, there was a need to search for and collect an examine of all humanists, of all humanists amount of separate and distinct records. That's not going to be us. Three, there was a need for consultation with another agency or two or more DOJ components. That's probably going to be us. I think it's always three, which will delay our ability to make a determination on your request within 20 days. So it's just an ability to delay that could say, oh, well, it's one of these three things, we have to talk to somebody. Right. So we're not going to be able to tell you back within 20 days. That's supposed to be a lot of time. We're supposed to get back to us within 20 days. Well, it involves somebody else. So we now have to talk to somebody. Now, for some reason, just me saying that I requested Cache Patel's records, which again is my right as a tax paying citizen of the United States of America. For some reason, this deeply upset Blake Neff. I just want to weigh his reaction to me merely filing an FOIA request. I want you to compare it to what you just heard from Charlie when things don't add up. Here's Blake Neff, then the new representative of the Charlie Kirk show. Charlie Kirk show. Really? Here's what Blake Neff wrote, crashing out. Here we can see the latest thing that Candice will fixate on for the next two weeks as all important, the key to blowing the case wide open, so that she has an excuse to harass more people. Of course, when she gets bored or successfully extracts whatever things she is looking for, which of course will be a total nothing burger, she'll move on to dismissing it as irrelevant or to stop talking about it entirely and move on to her next fixation. This will continue until people stop following for it. I'm like the queen of not moving on, Blake. In case you missed it, this is why we are filing FOIA requests. This is why, despite Andrew Colbert lying and trying to, I guess, allude to the idea that we made up the email where Erica was called an emotional asset, we filed an FOIA request, then we followed up on our FOIA request and we're still going down that path because I told the truth. We don't actually let things go. In fact, you guys usually call me obsessed. Obsessed people don't let things go, and I also want to say, Blake, you're right. I am obsessed with who killed Charlie Kirk. Why aren't you? Why aren't you obsessed? Why don't you just rename the Charlie Kirk show, the Truman Show? I feel like that would be more appropriate for what's left over. Whatever this is, it's like litter, watching you litter every single day on his name, on what he represented, on how he felt. You're upset because we're holding our government accountable because we pay money and this is what we're allowed to do to say, hey, Cash, what were you doing on these days? Maybe it is nothing. That's correct. But guess what? It's my right to find out. It's not called harassment. In fact, I would almost say that the amount of tax paying dollars that I get for absolutely nothing is a form of harassment. It feels like financial harassment to all the Americans who are paying and being made to consume the fedslop of the Charlie Kirk narrative. So anyway, we're going to keep filing until we get to the bottom of things, but I can promise you, we will not be moving on. How's that, Blake? We will not be moving on because everyone can see what you guys are and who and what you are covering up for. You are fooling no one. What we can say is that Blake does reflect the general mood of Turning Point USA, right? Grieving widow, no questions, tears, no questions, no investigation. Everyone should just look at her as a victim and that's it. They're angry and frustrated that we're just not consuming the slop. I mean, even Joe Rogan, I don't know if you saw this one, he jumped into the ring, similarly asking the obvious being a rational thinker, a layman, if you will, who's just wondering why nothing makes sense. He hosted Cameron Haynes on his podcast and here's what he had to say. Knowing that I can go down a negative rabbit hole pretty easy, I try to avoid wading in that. Well, sometimes it's like you just get fed up. You're like, where the f*** are these Epstein files? Who the f*** is this? Why is this redacted? Where is it? Who the f*** killed JFK? Like come out with it. Who f*** killed Charlie Kirk for real? What is that? Why is that story so clouded in mystery? Why do they pave over the f*** ground right after the shooting? What the f*** is going on there? See, now you're making me an abad man. It's easy to do. It's easy to do. It's easy to get locked up in there. Easy, Joe Rogan, his best friends and the people around him are going to be really upset to hear you speaking like that. What's wrong with you? Are you obsessed? Are you crazy? Are you a psychopath? Is Joe Rogan a knife-wielding maniac on the subway? Why doesn't he just accept the narrative? Joe Rogan, please just accept the fedslop. Like I said, no one seems to have less questions than people like Neff Andrew Colbert and Erica. Erica really just being what she was described as in that Department of War executive office email. She's just an quote unquote emotional asset that keeps getting boosted every time she gets emotional. Her job is to cry and then for us to be scolded that it's our fault that she's crying because how dare we try to figure out who killed her husband. And that's what she did this weekend. Again, it's every week. You could set a timer. This time it was on her show with James, Pastor James Cattis. When somebody wrote in a question, I'm sure this wasn't just like, you know, typed up by them about spending time with their precious kids. And then she had an emotional breakdown and suddenly I'm being attacked because she's having an emotional breakdown in public. Like I said, it's a repeat tactic to garner an emotional response to say, look, she's a damsel in distress. So no one should, you just need to feel bad for her. And I'm going to show you that moment here and to be clear, I don't find it entertaining or funny when Erica cries. I don't find it funny when she says, I just want to go home and cries. I just want to know why that was being boosted at the White House. Why the Department of War is saying this needs to be the number one clip by morning within an hour of that taking place. I want to know who recorded it. I'm just tired of this overriding strategy. So here is what Erica, this is, we're going to watch her have this breakdown. And then I'm going to explain to you why I am not feeling compelled or moved by it. Take a listen. I have been married for 10 years. My husband is a hardworking farmer who has gone a lot. A year ago, I was questioning my marriage and felt like I was losing myself in the chaotic life of work and motherhood. Since finding a church, I recently got baptized. My kids attend Sunday school and we talk about Jesus in our home daily. Instead of nagging my husband, I embrace his hard work. Yeah. Sorry. You might have finished reading it, sweetheart. Let me finish reading. I love him like a wife should when he comes home. Instead of losing myself to motherhood, I've completely embraced every second of it. Never wanting my precious babies to grow up. It seems like the more I pour myself into my daily readings, church and family, the devil shows his face more than I have ever witnessed. Why does it seem like the closer you get to God, the harder the devil works on you? Yeah. Look, for those of you that can't see, and I have the blessing and the benefit of knowing Erica and Charlie so well, I know exactly why. Because in tears, you know, um, like I said, this is a weekly installment. Okay. It's a weekly installment where we have a pastor that is telling us and we're being told it's demonic and oh my God, the devil wants to write in the moment where I'm just trying to be with my kids. The devil, you're not just trying to be with your kids. So it was an unrelatable question. You should have said next question. Secondly, after my memory of what happened in Maine, which to be clear, I was not on vacation in Maine. I just went up for one day because I saw people saying, oh, you had a whole vacation that you've written. No, I went up for one day and I had given birth a few weeks earlier, eight weeks earlier, May 2nd. And after Charlie's assassination, I feel like I went through some sort of a brain trauma. Like it just, I was not, it took a while for me to come up for air to feel I could think again. And remembering this, I, after we finished the show on Friday, and we went upstairs because we had a late night here, as you guys know, and I said to my husband, oh my, do you remember this when we went up to Tucker's house? And afterward, he told us that he had dinner with Charlie and Erica. And before I even said anything from my entire team, my husband goes, yeah, he told us that Erica was like very hardcore against Israel. Of course, he did not forget this at all. I just went, yeah, like I totally blacked out on that trip. I totally forgot the trip happened, that day trip. I totally forgot that Erica said this. And here is what has deeply troubled me about it. Here is why it feels like such a big deal. Because in the manner in which Tucker expressed it, okay, everyone was friends. A, there's no incentive that can be assigned to that conversation. It was inventing the frustration of what happened to Sass and being a friend to Charlie and Erica and the amount of pressure that Charlie was under because of his speech at Sass. And it was us discussing the shifting viewpoints of our friendship. Okay, no one had an issue, a question mark or anything about Erica, Charles, and egg Tucker loved Erica. He was like, she's hardcore. He also said she hated the, the pastors that were around him, right? What that means is that Erica, as the wife and the confidant of Charlie Kirk, was pushing him to be more anti-Israel. This is why it troubles me. Okay, why don't you understand this? She was pushing her husband to be more anti-Israel. The very thing that the majority of the world believes killed him. Was she speaking on the other side from both sides of her mouth? She then goes with him after she has this dinner with Tucker. She goes with him to the Hamptons and sits across from Bill Ackman at a dinner when Bebe Netanyahu was called. She's playing both sides and pushing her husband to be anti-Israel. The thing that the majority of rational people believe killed him. Okay, the majority of us believed that him turning against Israel killed him. And then after he dies, rather than asking any questions about Israel or telling us the truth about his shifting viewpoints or telling us truth about her shifting viewpoints, she has a complete 180 and says, people that ask questions about Israel, that's brain rot. I accept the Tyler Robinson narrative. I'm partnering further, taking over his company and partnering further with pro-Israel narratives and pro-Israel pastors who I told Tucker Carlson that I hated the pastors that were around him. Erica was anti-Israel in July before she went to a pro-Israel summit at Bill Ackman's house. None of this is clocking. That's what bothers me. And if she intentionally pushed him to be more anti-Israel, and yeah, no, Bebe, you got this. No, push back harder on that. No, no, no, you tell this guy this, then what? They said, no, we can't control him. We can't bring him back. We have to take Charlie Kirk out. Think about that. Think about what I'm saying to you. It is so dark and it is so twisted, but I am telling you what I am saying is the truth. That is what Tucker said to us after we got off air. He had dinner with Charlie and Erica, and Erica was more anti-Israel than Charlie. So what the hell changed, Erica? Why couldn't you find it within you to tell the truth about Charlie shifting viewpoints? I'm grateful. I honestly am grateful that I forgot this for a bit. I never questioned God's timing. I'm grateful that I forgot the trip that I knew something was bothering me about Erica's allegiance to Israel. And it was because she wasn't to Charlie. She lied to her husband about her viewpoints. That's why. And why did she do that? So she could go, well, you couldn't control him, but you can control me. I support Israel. I'll be the CEO. Sorry, you want that way. It's very sad. I can be your queen. We'll be right back after a break. All right, you guys, the best moments in life are not the big milestones. They are the everyday memories that we make with the people that we love. Family dinners around the table, bedtime stories before sleep, weekend adventures, and those quiet moments together that mean everything. When you know your family is protected, it's easier to focus on those moments today instead of worrying about what could happen tomorrow. And that's where life insurance comes in.

It's about creating peace of mind right now, knowing that if the unexpected happens, the people that you care about most will have financial support and security in place.

Also, I remind you guys about American financing because in today's uncertain economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high interest trap. We are heading into summer, but the economic clouds are not clearing for most middle-class families. Between persistent inflation and the cost of daily life, you are likely feeling the pressure. You've worked hard for your home and probably have more equity than you realized yet the summer surge is forcing many to rely on credit cards. It is an exhausting cycle, but American financing understands that. 2026 requires a real strategy and that's why they have salary-based mortgage consultants because with mortgage rates in the fives, their customers are saving an average of $800 a month by wiping out high interest debt. That's money that stays in your pocket to fight back against rising costs. There's no up-front fees, no pressure, and if you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. So call American financing today at 800-795-1210. Again, that's 800-795-1210 or visit Americanfinancing.net slash ellens. That's Americanfinancing.net slash ellens.

Top comments from last episode, 29 blockhead writes, just looking at Cash Patel, he constantly looks like he is in a state of terror. Oh, you're quoting me there and yeah, I think it's totally reasonable and rational to suggest that something terrified Cash Patel. I mean, look at those FBI's, man. It really is something. The think before you type writes, the billionaires pay the millionaires to convince the people making $50,000 a year that the issue is people that are making $20,000 a year and immigrants. Yeah, I'm going to have to agree that they keep us all focused on yelling at each other and streaming at each other and they never have to answer any questions. And if we do ask them to answer a simple question, really, like Cash Patel could very well not be on that fight at all. That's just, like I said, elimination journalism or just like going through stuff, checking things off. Why is that sending Blake Neff into another hissy fit and spiral? Like what is wrong with Blake Neff? Why is the cold concept of asking questions just so upsetting for him? Anyway, we have some comments for today's episode. First up is Haley. Haley writes, if Charlie Kirk and Andrew Colbert both witnessed Donald Trump saying the thing about Miriam Adelson, that got him shot, would it mean that Andrew Colbert is a mole? Thank you for being our voice. I don't know. What I will say is I don't trust Andrew Colbert as far as I can see him, but I haven't seen him in a really long time. I don't trust him as far as I could throw him. I don't, I'm not even sure I could pick him up. So there's that. Ali files writes Erica has her video Bible 365 and she has a CK on her hat. CK is trademarked by Calvin Klein. I looked it up. I was just running your thoughts crisis king. Erica has a ton of trademarks for Charlie Kirk and CK and stuff. In fact, I think she did that in the immediate aftermath of his death, which is also weird in my opinion, but I do know she was at the office every day after his death. Like she got back and she was in the office every day and her kids were being watched by Rob McCoy's wife and she just got right back to work. She's built different and we just have to respect that. Auntie Lee Schreitz Kandes, you dropped so many bombs last week. My mind is blown yet my biggest takeaway was concern for Chihuahua's everywhere. No matter how annoying people, please don't punch Chihuahua's. I don't know about that. Eventually you gotta, you gotta punch a Chihuahua for 50 yards. We don't want the old Chihuahua's gonna be fine. They have a long life, but if it just keeps biting at your ankles like an Alex Clark, if you have your Chihuahua happens to be named Alex Clark and their whole brand is talking about masculinity and then, you know, they are suddenly marrying a fairy princess, you get the right to call it out. Like she just lies constantly. She attacks people. She attacks other people's fiancees. She attacks her own fans. That's like a big component is like her blocking all of her fans who ask like even the most minuscule questions. She loses it. So she deserves what she gets, you know, and she got what she got last week. Zero regrets. We don't know know what we know is asking again whether or not I have checked out Aliyah files regarding the endowment. The answer is still no. I've, you know, been pretty busy here doing our own investigations. I know that Turning Point has an endowment and that there are people that are parting that narrative. I just am not and there's a million different ways you could run with Turning Point USA because it just grew so remarkably corrupt in such a short space of time and they're just behaving like they have everything to hide, not something but everything to hide. Nothing there saying makes any sense anymore. Susie Hill, write your hair is super cute today. We love you, Candace Christ as king. Thank you very much. Headed westward writes lawyer here. Common in the legal community is to say foyer. I know, but it sounds like a foyer. Like I'm giving foyer a Brooklyn accent. So I don't like saying foyer. Like it's in the foyer. You left your bag in the foyer. That's how I feel. So I'm going to go ahead and just say FOIA, if that's cool, because I'm not in the legal community. This person then continues, they are 100% responsible for, I am 100% responsible for you leaving the Trump cult as a happy single childless female. I was not a fan of you or Charlie Kirk, but I can recognize and appreciate genius. Thank you so much. Genius except when it comes to legal jargon. Foya. Did you do the foyer? Is it in the foyer? See, I just, I can't. I'm for, you know, because I'm born in New York and my whole family's from New York and like that accent is giving, it's giving BK for me. Loveable Latte writes Candace Owens for dictator, 2028. It's the only way you guys, if you really want to see change, you're going to have to vote me for dictator. You know, I'll be reasonable about how long I'll be the dictator. I'll probably want to maybe go and enjoy my grandkids at different time. So I'll give you a timeframe. Like I will be a dictator that retires and I'm willing to hand over the power to another reasonable dictator, but I'm not, I'm not dealing with Lindsey Graham in Congress. I'm not dealing with APEC. That's just not going to happen. So I do hope you'll consider me. I think you guys are warming up to the idea. I'm happy to see that. Ali writes, brave heart style, you can't break me, speeches and tears. Don't hit the same when you remember that Erica Kirk totally betrayed Charlie's legacy designists in a shameless and disgusting way and told severe and suspicious lies. Yeah, explain Erica, what was up with that dinner? Am I lying? Like I said, I had no permission from Tucker to reveal that because it just came on so naturally and I was just so blown away by the fact that I had forgotten it at little dinner, but it is 100% true. And my husband was present, confirmed it here in front of the team. He never forgot it apparently. I guess whatever, my husband, I feel like has a better memory than me. I don't know. I also was postpartum and I feel like I also have like spotty memory when I'm postpartum anyways. So it takes a while for me to feel like myself and then when you add on an assassination of someone that you cared about and then the people all around them who you suddenly realize are betraying him and lying about everything, it'll do something to your brain for a little bit, but we're back and we are on it. Anyway, you guys, if you want to support our website, if you want to support us and the podcast every day, we are a very small team. The easiest way to do that is to go to cannesownes.com and get some merch, get decked out and cannesownes merch, the Stop Anti-Canism Cup. It's working. They decrease their attacks every time you buy a cup and someone should buy a cup and gift it to Ben Shapiro. He's the most anti-candesist of them all. Everyone knows, I can't even go away. He's making up rumors about me. He's telling people that I'm like hanging out with Vladdy Daddy over there in Russia and I'm not doing anything about him in case you're my family. I'm just on a panel talking about family because I love family and I want to have a lot of kids and I think Russia's great. And I liked the Starbucks, Zarbux. I like it. They just did their own thing. I think Russia's cool. I'm not going to lie, but he's got to stop his anti-canicism. So get one for yourself. Get one for Ben Shapiro. Ship it to him if you can. That'd be nice. Yeah, I think you should do that. Anyway, you guys, we have Book Club up next. We'll take a little break here and then we'll be right back on for Book Club. If you've signed up for that, we are doing my book. And actually, we're getting into Russia actually in this next couple of chapters and talking about the history of feminism. So if you've not signed up, you can do that on the website. Otherwise, we will see you over there if you are signed up or we will see you tomorrow. WA Police confidential is true crime in real time.
