Candace Owens analyzes the Super Bowl halftime show controversy between Bad Bunny's NFL performance and Turning Point USA's alternative broadcast, examining viewership claims, the organization's credibility issues, and connections to Charlie Kirk's death investigation including potential links to border patrol officials and Erica Kirk's inner circle.
Insights
- Turning Point USA fabricated concurrent viewership metrics (claiming 6-20 million viewers) that are mathematically impossible based on YouTube's historical data and engagement ratios, indicating systematic dishonesty in organizational communications
- The organization has shifted from free-market principles to 'crony capitalism' through donor funding, purchasing narratives and reality rather than competing on merit, mirroring the Kamala Harris campaign strategy
- Bad Bunny's performance objectively succeeded (7 million additional viewers tuned in) despite coordinated conservative boycott efforts, suggesting manufactured culture war divisions serve organizational interests rather than authentic political positions
- Potential connections between Erica Kirk's inner circle (Tracy Martin) and U.S. Border Patrol leadership (Thomas Martin) warrant investigation, particularly given the timing of Erica's Instagram purge coinciding with Charlie Kirk's White House confrontation over Iran policy
- Seth Dylan's testimony contradictions about the Hamptons meeting reveal deliberate mischaracterization of events, with witnesses confirming heated confrontation over Israel policy that Charlie Kirk himself described as 'moral blackmail'
Trends
Manufactured culture war narratives used to drive engagement and donor funding rather than authentic ideological positionsSystematic metric manipulation and false claims of record-breaking viewership becoming normalized in conservative media organizationsCoordinated legal-style statements and narrative control replacing transparent communication about internal conflictsWeaponization of religious rhetoric ('if you don't like this, you don't love Jesus') to suppress criticism and enforce organizational loyaltyDeep state connections and federal agency relationships within conservative movement leadership structures remaining unexploredZionist influence on conservative movement leadership creating pressure points and potential blackmail vectors around Israel policyInfluencer organizations prioritizing donor appeasement over authentic market competition and merit-based successPost-assassination narrative control becoming standard practice for organizations with significant financial resources and PR infrastructure

All right, you guys, happy Monday. As you know, the Super Bowl was last night. And look, this is what the kids are terming goi-slop. What that means is that you were supposed to pick a side. Pick a side. Who side are you on? Were you team bad, bunny? If so, you're supposed to come out in a way. Hating the racist right. Maybe you were a team turning point USA. Did you oblige and turn off your television sets, open your laptops, and watch the alternative halftime performance, which the word on the street is if you did not enjoy it, if you did not enjoy every moment of it, then it's because you don't love Jesus. Of course, of course, every single time. That's the new turning point, talking point. So welcome back to Candace. Okay, so you guys can actually check the records on this one. I am not nor have I ever been a conservative stereotype when it comes to the Super Bowl halftime performance. I feel like it's a bit of a fad now on the right. You watch the Super Bowl for the sole purpose of complaining about the halftime performance and why it didn't live up to what you think that it should be. I notoriously defended Rihanna back in 2023 when she was literally just wearing red and conservatives made it seem like she was trying to channel the devil, which was actually pregnant and wasn't even moving around that much. I'm also a Shakira Stan. So I thought her and JLo had a fun halftime performance. I'm not really one of these people who are naturally averse to culture. I also like and listen to Spanish music. As you guys know, Mark Anthony, that's why I had to come out for my boy when they were saying stuff about him and what he did into wedding after 11 p.m. No, he should not be responsible for that as Latino man. I like the old school stuff. Aventura, the old Mark Anthony music. I grew up listening to all of it. So when Bad Bunny was announced for the Super Bowl, I was like, okay, let's see what it does. I do not know one bad bunny song. I'm going to be honest. I've been very clear with you guys. I am not cool or hip anymore, just like I don't know any of Sabrina Carpenter's music. I'm not trying to stay up with the culture, but I know enough to know that he's very popular. Now, the pros of his performance, I'm going to say something good about it. I actually thought the set design was really cool. It was one of the cooler ones that I've seen in a very long time. I love that it looked like a little Pueblo, a little Spanish town, that the Maricopa, the Bodega. And to be clear, I think it felt obviously very authentic to him and how he grew up, but not just to him and how he grew up, but also in America. If you guys don't know that, this is how a lot, that looks familiar to me and the way that I grew up. You know, the corner of Bodega. It's a real thing. And I thought very obviously that that's what he was trying to convey is his own experience because that's what artists do. And by the way, like I said, all around the United States, these communities exist. The performers and the dancers did a very great job. You could tell that they rehearsed a lot. They were not just weighing it. And I actually quite enjoyed the little electrical line thing that they were doing. I thought it was clever and it was fun. Now, the downside is that it was not in English. It was not in English. And therefore, the audience could not emotionally connect. If you were not a Spanish speaker, you could not emotionally connect to that performance. It was really on Spanish save for Lady Gaga's portion when she was sort of doing the bad salsa, which was very American. You know, she wasn't exactly hips don't lie in. And I was like, okay, now is that bad bunny's fault? Obviously not because he was booked. And he is very clear English is a second language. If you watch his interview, he kind of speaks Spanish. He's learning more English now. His music is exclusively in Spanish. So the expectation, who are you actually upset with for booking this performance? I agree that it would be nice to have an English speaking halftime. That makes sense because everyone actually in America should speak English. But he didn't book himself. Okay. Actually, I looked into it. The person that controls who gets to perform at the halftime is Jay-Z. For some reason, Jay-Z in partnership with the NFL. Jay-Z doesn't speak Spanish, but Jay-Z booked him. And for a very long time, it's been clear that Jay-Z's got some sort of relationship with the feds. I tend to believe a lot of the stuff that Kanye said. And so, like I said, this feels a bit like, let's get both sides warring with one another. Now, in terms of whether or not this was a successful performance, we'll just look at the raw numbers here. Nielsen estimates that 128 million people watched the Super Bowl game last night, forgetting the halftime performance. That number increased to 135 million viewers during the halftime performance. So people got up and were like, I don't want to watch the whole Super Bowl match, but I'm going to go ahead and tune in to the halftime performance because people are always outraged the next morning. And I want to know what they're speaking about. So 7 million more people began tuning in to watch the halftime performance, according to the early reports. So bad bunny, objectively, whether you like him or not, he had a successful, Super Bowl halftime performance in terms of the metrics. This means that the, I would say, unnecessary Super Bowl political lines that were drawn by Turning Point USA was not successful in terms of drawing people away from the NFL's viewership. Now, in case you missed it, when bad bunny was announced, there was immediately backlash because he has worn a dress, something that I am very against because to me, it is obvious why they find these men and they put them in dresses. This gets into theology, regarding which he's probably not aware of. I'm being honest, if I sat down with bad bunny and I spoke to him about where this comes from and why they are putting him in a dress to emasculate him, he is not recognizing this as somebody else's faith. It is, I find it to be wrong. It is in essence, Kabbalistic and satanic. We've discussed that. But this is the reason that people were immediately outraged. So everyone was saying, oh, it's very obvious what he's going to do. He's going to make the show unnecessarily gay. And because of that, Turning Point USA announced that they would produce an alternative, quote unquote, all American, Super Bowl half time show. And President Trump tweeted, they had very, people all across political sphere. I'm a Republican side. We're tweeting about, hey, turn your TV off. Nobody turned their TV off. We can say no one did that actually. The numbers jumped. Okay, but this was their reason that they went into this. Now bad bunny did not, in fact, wear a dress at this rebel. He didn't, which, like I said, I'm very against that. I don't think we should be intentionally masculating men. So that leaves us with Turning Point USA's performance now. We should be clear it was a pre-record. Okay, so bad bunny was performing live, Turning Point USA pre-recorded, I think a couple of weeks ago. And so they had time to edit and to present this. Now, I'm going to park aside the artists who actually performed Kid Rock, LeBrice. I actually want to be clear. I love LeBrice's music. I went to a LeBrice concert here in town. So this is not meant to be a commentary on them, but rather at the audacity of what Turning Point USA did as an organization. Turning Point USA is effectively now running Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. Okay. No one, no Democrat voted for Kamala Harris, voted for Biden. And then they just said here, now you get Kamala and we're running her against Donald Trump. But Democrats had to accept that because the DNC machine just had so much money and they're like, we're just going to make everything. That's it. And they ignored the true metrics and just said, this is it. And then they acted aghast and shocked when Kamala Harris did not win. Turning Point USA now has so much money that they believe that similarly they can afford to outright purchase reality. They want you to believe, Mrs. Unbelieveable, I'm going to walk you through, help serve this is that when they aired this half time performance, six million concurrent viewers tuned in. Just so you understand what that means, six million people at the same time were watching this around the world. That's what concurrent viewership means. They decided to tune in to this super bowl half time performance. And I want you to listen to to that straight from Andrew Colvet's mouth. Let's bring that clip in Don if you can. Andrew I watched you show was great. How did you do? Do you have a sense of how many people watched? Yeah, it was a kind of blue our minds actually a little bit Brian. And we saw at one point across all the different social channels, we saw over 10 million concurrent views. So that was adding up all of Rumble and all of our partners just on the social side. And now we, the numbers keep trickling in. I mean, right now as I'm sitting here, YouTube's numbers keep updating, keep updating. And so we're trying to put it all together. What I can safely say is that we are now over 20 million viewers across just social. So we haven't even gotten our partner broadcasters. Their analytics says you know sometimes the ratings take a little while, but that's 20 million viewers. And we don't know how many people were gathered together, three, four, ten in a room watching together. So we're going to try and put our final number on that when we can, what we can safely say is over 20 million Americans tuned into the All-American Half-Time Show tonight. That's what he can safely say. Now for people who have been on YouTube, YouTubers, so to speak, like myself, for more than 10 years, I was just in awe that they were going to try to sell. They said they were going to do what he did with his face and just lie and pretend that six million, I think even at one point in time, but it's a six million concurrent viewers they had on YouTube alone. If you know YouTube at all, that's just not true on its face. It's actually I laughed when I saw I was like, this is this is actually crazy. I can't believe they're actually going to try to pull this off. And I'm going to walk you through this so you don't even have to have my background on YouTube to understand why this number is impossible. Just in foremost, you can just do this test. What do we have right now? We have 95,000 people that are watching this show. As soon as this show concludes, I want you to see how many views YouTube is going to instantly give it right away. It's probably going to be something like 200,000 to 300,000 views right away as it continues to tabulate. This is a screenshot of their viewership after six million people tuned in concurrently at the exact same time. So that was six million people watching. We have 95,000 people watching right now on YouTube. As soon as they finish, look at the 5,839 views with 175 comments. That is an impossible metric. But 667,000 likes. This is made up. But again, like I said, maybe you're not familiar with how YouTube works. So allow me to present it to you another way. So you can really drill into your head how despicable this organization has become. And they just know association with the truth. So I'm going to present to you now the official list of the top YouTube streams based off of concurrent viewership. We're going to go through this list that you fully appreciate what you are being asked to believe. Everything is a rich man's trick. That's what's happening right now. This is the highest live concurrent viewers on YouTube. These were the events. Number one was in India. That is a nation of 1.5 billion people. They had a moon mission and 8 million people in India tuned into it. That is believable. Okay. Turning point wants you to believe that they're number two now. The next two through 20 are all proper football, meaning soccer in America events. Now you can see it's the world cup, which is it is the biggest sport in the world. And when people streamed it, it looks like the 2022 world cup comes into the second spot Brazil versus Croatia when it was streamed on YouTube 6.1 million people tuned in again. This is the biggest sport in the world soccer. They're trying to tell us that football, which only as a hold in America, this is a sport literally for America. Turning point USA comes and they divide the fans by saying we're doing just a conservative halftime sport. They even have their potential to appeal to half of the people that are watching football. And on top of that, the people who are divided because they just don't like what turning point USA has become since Charlie was assassinated and that they're loose association, they're loose relationship with the truth since Charlie was assassinated. They watch it believe that in spite of all of that, they are now, they're number two. They broke the record. So buy by football around the world. It's now turning point USA. 6 million people turned in live to watch their their kid rock and Lee Bryce. And there was a couple of other artists that were involved performance, pre-recorded performance. Okay. Now my understanding and looking at this is that this is it. They're going to force, they're going to force Erica on us. I guess I said this is the Kamala thing. There's absolutely nothing we can do about it. We just got our hands up. We are literally victims here. They have the money, they have the power and we're going to shut up and we're going to take it and we're going to have to accept this audacious polling. It's going to be Andrew Colbert up on Fox News like it's amazing. She is more popular than Cristiano Ronaldo. It's they just theater that loves it. YouTube loves her and we're amazed that we pulled this thing off. That's the vibe. Okay. We no longer live in a baritocracy. And Turning Point USA are effectively the righteous gemstones now if you don't like Erica then it's because you don't like Jesus. If you don't like what Turning Point has become it's because you do not like Jesus. This is our new purchased reality. And I want to really drive this point home to you to I can't even think about how many times I can underscore how absurd what they presented here is. And as a YouTuber this offends me. People who actually put in hard work try to produce a show. You should be offended by this. Okay. I would guess that the most authentically watched event for Turning Point USA's YouTube page happened right after Charlie Kirk got assassinated. Remember Erica first addressed the nation and she did this in Charlie's studio. Nobody everyone was rooting for her in this moment. Waiting to see what she was going to say as the widow. If you go online right now her address as a widow to the nation has 4.1. million views on Charlie Kirk's YouTube channel. It also has 36,000 comments. Okay. So 4 million views, 36,000 comments. If you know YouTube that's right. They didn't fake that. That's real. I want you to compare that to the Turning Point halftime show which just like Biden's votes in 2020 when we slept. A bunch of more views came in on YouTube. They were like people were like I love it even more in the overnight. That now has over 20 million views. And yet only 46,000 comments. It's impossible. It's just it's literally made up. Like I said, you know that the Erica addresses an authentic representation of views because of the views to comments ratio. I'll give you an example. My last episode, the letter to Erica on YouTube that got 3.1 million views. It has 28,000 comments. So almost too close for a 20 million view video. Now why does this actually matter? Why am I spending time speaking to you about this? Because it is such a perfect analogy for what this organization has become. Wealthy, corrupt and dishonest. It's to our faces. It is to me. So remissioned of everything Tucker said when he got on to stage at SAS when the donors get the Jewish donors got angry when he questioned exactly where this money is coming from. How these people are becoming billionaires people that are not impressive that are not smart are suddenly we just learned that their billionaires money is being thrown at them. And there are people who are smarter than them, who work harder than them. And he is essentially saying we no longer live in a meritocracy. This is just a fiction, a total fiction. And I also want to stress here that what upsets me about it is exactly everything that Charlie curcated. When we were hitting the ground, we were talking about the need for free markets. This is not an example of the free markets. This is an example of chronic capitalism. It's chronic capitalism. You're going to take it. This is where we're bigger than Christian Ronaldo. We don't know why. It's just, you had like Alex Clark shamelessly tweeting everyone said we were over. But look at this. 100 million views. It's just fiction. So fiction that even Tyler Boyer who happens to be a sexual deviant and also a committed homosexual part time is tweeting this out from bad bodies performance. He actually did this. Why is turning point USA? And it's he wrote why turning point USA ended up with one of the largest YouTube concurrent live streams in history tonight. And he shows some of the probably likes if I'm guessing this moment of two men dancing on each other. A lot of people to tweet this, it's Tyler Boyer. It is Tyler Boyer. Everything is fake. A lot of it is gay. These again are the righteous gemstones and we are looking at to me fake Christianity. It's like Christianity Inc. Which brings us back to Fort Watchuka by the way. Something big for you will recall that Mitch Schnell, the man who had to deal with the full brunt of Andrew and Erica's PR machine. They were digging up his past claiming that he was a habitual liar. Mitch was certain. He was certain and by one I'd be clear he also hasn't moved his story since not one inch. He was certain that he saw Erica Kirk on the evening of the eighth at Fort Watchuka leaving a hotel with a cabinet Phillips. Look alike. He is not adopted. He has not adapted that story. Despite the undue harassment that he received in particular after seeing Erica on the evening of the eighth he claims that he stumbled upon what appeared to him to be the conclusion of a military briefing right before mission. Taking place in a borrowed building site for the joint task force, the Southern border unit and he was a border unit and he was surprised. He saw a guy wearing the JTF thing. I think he said it was JTF 10, the 10th Mountain Brigade. He's like, oh, where are you guys? I thought this was like a disbanded. I used to be on this same task force Southern border and they're like, no, actually we're in this building. You should know that that joint task force initially was formed in Tucson, Arizona. Well, here is a rather explosive lead. And I'm going to say this is a lead. I'm going to cage this. It's a possibility that this does not pan out. But I'm putting this out here because I'd like a confirmation one way or the other. Last week we introduced you guys to Tracy Martin. Remember, Tracy Martin is Erica's best friend for over 15 years. Now close to Erica and Tracy, they don't everything together. Tracy says Romanian and angels, Erica modeled for her clothing brands, all of it. These two and their families are close. She's also close to Laurie and she's close to Erica's stepfather's family. If pictures are telling us the right story and I told you guys last week that I was having trouble learning anything about Tracy's husband, a man named Thomas Martin. It was unusual to me. It's got quite a build. He looks kind of military-esque to me, but they are also involved in fitness. They ran gyms. But we received this interesting tip. And I'm going to again stress that it is just a tip at this moment, but it's potentially explosive. There is a director of U.S. Border Patrol, also chief of staff of the Southern command in Tucson named Thomas Martin. He's been based in Tucson, Arizona since at least the 80s when he was just an agent down at the border. And he has steadily climbed up the ladder. But this particular Thomas Martin has gone through great lengths to completely wipe his public presence. I'm going to show you what's left of the link in link. You can actually click it. You can see it says Thomas Martin, director, U.S. Border Patrol, experience location, greater Tucson area. You click that, that just disappeared. Same looking at Zoom info. We were again able to find this sort of relic. We found that he was deputy chief patrol agent at the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Homeland Security, for which we know Erica Kirk's mother also is involved extensive contracts with the Department of Homeland Security. It says that he's been in customs and border protection for nine years. I'm assuming that's going to continue with the Department of Homeland Security. But again, we don't know because this has been wiped. And so I started crawling through some newspapers trying to find his person's face interestingly enough. We know, like I said, he's been stationed in Tucson, Arizona that Thomas Martin on border patrol at least since 1985. We know this because he was actually mentioned in a lawsuit as a young agent, a lawsuit and the content of this lawsuit is impressive. This is an old newspaper article again from October 21st, 1985. It appeared in the Times Union and it says the sanctuary movement is on trial. It tells us the story of this guy who picked up a hitchhiker and there a movement was born and to begin smuggling humans across the border and hiding them into churches. I kid you not. Get you not. It tells us that these pastors as well as priests were working together south side Presbyterian church to Roman Catholic priests, a nun and six church layworkers were all going on trial in Tucson for concealing illegal aliens. And this nice mention that we get of Thomas Martin, we learn at Thomas agent Thomas Martin of the border patrol was writing to his superiors. Essentially the argument that he's making is we act we shouldn't invade these churches because then it's going to become a talking point that oh look at the big bad like you know ice agents that are invading churches and we shouldn't do that. So I'm going to direct quote because he testified and he said he wrote to his superiors quote a ploy is going to be border patrol baiting in order to demonstrate to the public that the US government thinks nothing of breaking down the doors of their churches to drag Jesus Christ out to be tortured and murdered. So he's saying if we do this it's going to be if I'm to understand this it's going to be a talking point. So he's making the argument that we shouldn't do it or it's going to be a talking point. Again, where is this Thomas Martin? And I want to be clear as you guys send tips this is not Thomas G. Martin. If you're doing a basic search and finding another Thomas Martin who works in border patrol up in Buffalo, New York, his name is Thomas G. Martin. That is not the same Thomas Martin that has been in Tucson. We obviously already investigated the obvious lead there. Please do not send us any tips about Buffalo, New York and the other Thomas Martin. But regarding this one, please do, please do send us tips to tips more tips pardon at canisones.com because we'd like to know any somebody worked with this Thomas Martin. Again, we know that he's been living in the Tucson area or decades, decades, at least up until 2011. I can find a record of him working with the Southern command. And that is interesting. Lastly, I've also received a solid tip. This is shocking that Tracy's daughter is actually error because assistant. I'll put an allegedly there because we've got to confirm that information. But the source knows these people. And remarkably, this is the shocking part and this I don't have to put an allegedly. Because I have text messages from September 11th. Tracy told friends that her daughter, possibly Erica's assistant, was supposed to be at UVU on September 10th. But Tracy had a bad feeling about it. Wait, Erica's best friend had a bad feeling about what was going to happen on September 10th. Yep. And so she stopped her daughter, Erica's assistant from going. Tracy had a divine intuition that her daughter should not go to UVU. But she didn't share that with Erica about maybe she should have said her husband shouldn't have gone to UVU. Maybe if you would share that, if you're your best friend, maybe did Erica talk to her alleged assistant about that? Hey, maybe we shouldn't go. My mom's saying I shouldn't go because she's a bad feeling something bad is going to happen. And it's like bad does happen. And it's like, you know, thank God Tracy didn't send her daughter because she had a bad intuition, did you share that with Erica? That's not right to you guys. Is that tracking for you guys at all? Look, I don't know what's going on, but I know that it is not what they are telling us is going on. Okay, I'll leave it at that. We will take a quick break and be back after some sponsors. All right, you guys. Thanks to you last year. Preborn helped rescue over 80,000 babies. And today you can help save even more. Every single day, thousands of women here, the same devastating lie that abortion is their only option that they're alone and that there's actually no hope. But everything changes the moment a mother in crisis walks into a preborn network clinic and sees her baby on an ultrasound that one moment doubles her chance of choosing life. It's not just an image on a screen. They realize, but it's hearing babies heartbeat, maybe for the very first time in that moment she realizes that there's life growing inside of her. It's not a problem that needs to be solved is a life that needs to be protected. It's there for her in that beautiful moment with love, prayer and support, which is $28 you can provide one life saving ultrasound and $104 provides five ultrasounds and five changes for life. This year, let's make it to the biggest baby saving year in history. Take a stand, be bold, speak for those who can't speak for themselves, donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby or visit preborn.com slash can this again, that's preborn.com slash can this. I also want to tell you guys about balance of nature because let's be honest, getting all of your daily fruits and vegetables is not always easy. Life gets busy, meals get rushed and nutrition falls through the cracks. That's where balance of nature comes in. Balance of nature's whole health system supplements, a fruit and veggies make it simple to have a nutrients that your body needs.

That's balanceofnature.com. Okay, something that I want to mention to you that I had been quietly working on to confirm the date for. I'm just going to throw this in here on that same topic. I had mentioned to you guys a while ago that on June 19th, Erica purged her Instagram of a lot of pictures, 126 posts she deleted. And I had wondered what drove that? Why would you delete 126 posts off of your Instagram page? And when I did my master timeline, I realized that this was the time when things were really heating up with Israel and Iran. I had mentioned that to you in the past and I had wondered to myself if she had moved to do that after Charlie beat the Bina in Yahoo in a debate and all of his his ionist thugs at the White House and he had convinced Trump that he should have just say limited military extra not exercise a limited limited military operation in Iran, which ends up being operation in Nighthammer. Why can now confirm that the date that Charlie went to the White House went into the White House and went up like toe to toe with BB Net and Yahoo's and his thugs who wanted more action in Iran. And he won was on June 18th. So to make that very clear on June 18th, Charlie goes head to head with these ionists and BB Net and Yahoo who are trying to convince Trump that there needs to be more action in Iran, that America should get behind. And obviously Charlie's in there, something like the base is going to hate this, don't do that. That's a very bad idea. And Charlie wins. Tucker spoke about that. You can go find the clips of Tucker speaking about the fact that Charlie spoke up for America, really spoke up for Americans and said, don't do this. You know, you promise no wars. Keep this as a limited operation. That's June 18th, the very next day on June 19th, Erica purges her Instagram to lead to 126 posts. I had wondered if that was the way it went that Charlie pissed off BB and then Erica purged her Instagram. I don't know what to make of that, but I wanted to give you guys that data point, which is from our master timeline. Okay, switching gears here, not entirely. Something else that's how our master timeline is, of course, this this Hamptons thing, which it was so strange they there were so many lies that came out of this me also credit to Max Blumenthal broke the story that Charlie had had this as we described it, a very heated confrontation. And he was being pushed by Zionist about his shifting support for Israel. They all came out and gave these clean, buttoned up statesman saying that wasn't true. It is ascribed it as, oh, we were. It was just like tossing some ideas to him and Charlie said, well, it was just like a spirited debate. They said, and I said, no, Max Blumenthal said, no as well. That's not what down in the Hamptons. No, they were pressing Charlie. He was stressed out by it and things got heated. He was being yelled at. They always just be the narrative. Well, enter into this hero, Carrie Prejane Bollar, and she is Catholic. I'm going to state that because it's just Catholic ganging right now this morning. There was a religious Liberty Commission hearing on anti-Semitism and Seth Dylan gets up there of the Babylon B. He was the chief, him in Natasha, where the chiefs of pressing Charlie in the Hamptons. Okay? And Seth Dylan is just supposed to be the funny guy testifying from the Babylon B about the rise of anti-Semitism and what are we going to do? And Carrie took it as an opportunity since he's under oath. When you testify, you're actually under oath to ask him about a variety of topics. First and foremost, she presses him because he was also one of the chiefs of Christ's king, his anti-Semitic. As she questions him on that perspective, let's take a listen to what she had to say. Being on their social media platform, would you label that an anti-Semitic if you're looking into the context of what they're saying it or if they just say it Christ is king? Why would you have to look at the context yet? But I would say that's anti-Christian if you're analyzing why I'm saying Christ is king. No, saying the phrase Jesus Christ is not taking the Lord's name in vain unless you're doing it in a certain context, right? Which context matters? Yeah, so going back to Candace Owens when she worked for daily wire, your friend Ben fired her because she said Christ is king. And I never said that what she said was anti-Semitic. Okay, but you're calling her an anti-Semi. Oh, yes, because she said way worse than that. Okay, let's move on. Because everyone seems to be obsessed with Candace. My last question, why were you at the Amtus? You can't just really think that the Amtus were any, do you think that anything Candace has said is anti-Semitic? No, I don't. I'm not saying ever. That's interesting. I mean, I listened to her daily. You should look up. I haven't heard one thing out of her mouth that I would say is anti-Semitic. He is, it just dripping off of him like the evil that is honesty. He then goes on to say a bunch of things that I never, ever, ever said, of course, because they have to just make things up. And he's like, no, she now says outwardly what she thinks about Jews and there's no separation between Zionists and Jews. Yes, there is. But I'm attacking these Christians' Zionists for the exact same reason where they're trying to sell to us racial supremacy, which is really just Israeli supremacy, right? Because telling us that if we don't worship Israel, it's problematic. And gratefully she gets up and she calls them on that. She's like, what are you even speaking about? And so then, as you see, she's kind of saying the groundwork for us. She decides to move to the topic of the Hamptons. And here is what Seth Dylan had to say. The Hamptons meeting was a retreat called by Charlie. It was, I don't know if many of you are familiar with this. I'll give you a little context, but there was a claim that was made that an intervention was staged with Charlie, where people pulled him into a room in a very aggressive manner, pressured, and blackmailed him, because they felt like he was straying away from his support for Israel. That was the claim. The Hamptons retreat was characterized that way. It was not like that. There were about 30 people there handpicked and invited by Charlie personally. He brought us there. He stood at the front of the room with a microphone throughout the thing. The theme of it was save the West. His primary focus was on the threat of Islam, the problem of Islam. There was heated and spirited debate about the issue of Israel in the room, but it was debate that Charlie himself initiated and he wanted to hear different perspectives on it. So we have voiced a lot of our perspectives. One of the things that I disagreed with him on was he said that if you're not sufficiently supportive of Israel, it can be really ruinous for you in a position like his. If you criticize Israel at all, they'll try to denigrate you and destroy you and call you names, call you anti-Semitic, etc. It can ruin you. I said, yes, certainly that's true, but it can also be very costly to stand up to those people. I gave the example of my own experience where I criticize the critics of Israel and they tried to destroy me. We can all whine and cry about the consequences of what might happen if we say certain things, but everybody has a right to give their opinion and say what they think. So there was back and forth like that, but there were many people that came out and made statements afterwards that it was completely mischaracterized and that was really evil what she did. To lie about a situation like that and try to portray it as though the Jews were trying to blackmail Charlie, that resulted in death threats. She absolutely said that. She put my face on a movie poster for I know what you did last summer, suggesting that I had a role in his murder. I played a role in his murder. That's why someone tried to kill me and my family and got arrested in Texas. I just love Zionist. No matter what they can be a victim, she put my name on it. She put my face on a thumbnail of I know what you did last summer and objectively hilarious thing that I did go me. That is fantastic. And he wants us to think that it's almost like to his murder. They're just such crimes. They mass murdered children overseas and defend it and explain it away. Zionist, that's actually what's happening. And then you put them on a little thumbnail poster, as in I know you did last summer because that's punny. Okay. It is. And we're speaking about the Hamptons. And now he's like, I almost got killed. I almost died. He's so not okay to evil. Now what's evil is you lied. And now you're adjusting your story. Everybody go back and watch the clips of them discussing what happened in the Hamptons. And she is correct. I never said that he was blackmailed. Charlie described what happened in the Hamptons as he was being morally blackmailed. And by the way, you can find clips of Charlie speaking about how he felt that he was being morally blackmailed over his position on Israel. Those are Charlie's words, not mine. And he felt he was being morally blackmailed because of what Seth Dylan did. So first, Seth Dylan's perspective was it was just a nice, lovely, spirited debate. Now he's changing this and he admits that it got heated. Oh, where was that? Why couldn't you acknowledge that it got heated before Seth when we were saying that that was true. And that's what happened. And by the way, they never want to touch the facts. Even when they all came out, these carefully orchestrated legal type statements to be like, go nothing happened in the Hamptons. No one even wanted to touch the fact that BB Net and Yahoo called, which I told you happened. Everything I said was true. It got heated. Charlie was being pressed. He was so stressed about what happened in the Hamptons and spilled over into his conversation with Megan Kelly, Kudos to Megan for telling the truth about how he was feeling. Kudos Tucker Carlson for telling the truth about how he was feeling. They were just, oh no, they told us Charlie never even flinched on Israel. Now he's saying it got heated. Well, why would it get heated? Was this a mock debate as they tried to present it like, you know, why would it get heated? If Charlie's position was not shifting, why would it get heated? And somebody explained that to me. If he's just, he just got heated about how much he loved Israel in the room. He's like, I'm just so angry that people don't get how much I love it. I love it. And Seth was like, I know. Oh, and they got angry and he did because they both just loved Israel. That's what they wanted us to believe. It is obnoxious. They lie, they feel nothing when they lie. Okay, just like Josh Hammer, that is Seth Dylan. They all lied about what happened in the Hamptons. It was heated. Charlie was pressed. I said that factually because I had witness reports of exactly what happened. And it is a fact to be with that and you know, who called? Erica says he didn't offer to take turning points to the next level. Okay. Okay, Erica. Andrew Colvet says that he did offer a take turning point to the next level. And now he wants to go back and not address that point again because everything I told you was true. Charlie said, don't be mad at Yahoo. He didn't even want to be mad at Yahoo on his radio show. He was so done with Israel. Anybody care to fact check that? Did he be mad at Yahoo reach out to go on Charlie's podcast when he was doing the little the podcast rounds in July or August whenever it was? The answer is I'm telling the truth. Okay. I am telling the truth. And the only reason they are lying about this in my view is because you only lie when you have something to hide. And it feels like motive. It feels like motive to protecting BB and they are protecting this narrative because there is a motive. Why should you just say? Yeah, I got into an argument with him. Kind of sucked. I wish that wasn't the last time I saw him. If you were an honest person and you had nothing to hide, that's what you would say. I'd say, man, I really regret that those were my last words. Him. Life is short. It was so stupid. I don't even really care about his opinion on Israel anymore, man. I just feel terrible. Nope. They all said, yes, this is a liar. And now we're slowly getting the truth about what got heated. Well, they were discussing Charlie feeling as he even describes it morally blackmailed, telling him that it's ruinous. If you say anything about Israel, it's suddenly ruinous to your career. And Seth was fired up. Not Josh Henry. We'll say, wasn't Josh Henry? I got a fired up in that room. It was, it was Seth. And Seth, you just look like a liar. You know that? You just like your whole presence there. If you guys go back and watch it, the way he's like stumbling over his worries is lying. He just is lying. And I like the nice little touch of the Babylon bee. Because now that we're getting into your true guiding theology, which is not Judaism, by the way, it makes perfect sense. You are, you are not the funny guy at all. You are in my view completely unhinged. And you should feel remorse for what you put Charlie through the end. You should have come online and had some sort of a conscience about telling the public lies about your last encounter with him. But of course you don't. That just kind of seems to be the entire Zionist era of these days. You guys do to others and then consciously pretend you are the victims, including of a poster. Hey Seth, I know what you did last summer. Okay. We will be back after a brief break. All right, you guys. As a mother, I have learned that comfort does matter.

Also, remind you guys about American financing because between groceries, travel, and higher prices, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, especially if you're already relying on credit cards to cover the basics. If that debt is piling up, you should know that you're not alone. If you're a homeowner, you may be considered reaching out to American financing, but maybe hesitated because you don't want to give up your low mortgage rate. Well, that's why American financing created the smart equity loan, a simple, smart way to get your finances back on track without giving up your low mortgage rate. Unlike a HELOC, which can fluctuate with the market, the smart equity loan offers a fixed rate, so you'll have one predictable monthly payment. It lets you use your home's equity to pay off high interest debt, free up your cash flow, and still keep your existing mortgage intact. There are no upfront fees to find out if you qualify, so call 800-795-1210. That's 800-795-1210 or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Lens. Why are you gay, merch is now available on the websites?

The book club is where we go a lot deeper on a lot of these topics because we can, because we are on our website. There you go. Top comment from the last episode, which was my dear Erica episode. I did see how viral that went on TikTok, and I do want to thank TikTokers for being objectively hilarious in the comment section with your memes. I don't know what is wrong with TikTokers. You're very funny, but you're bad, and you're the recent Israel's taking over TikTok. I want you to know that. That's your fault. Top comment from the last episode, regarding that episode, is when they planned this, they did not plan on canis. I don't think evil ever plans on goodness or anything that's genuine, and my relationship with Charlie was genuine. I knew who he was, and he was falseware. And he was just like a kid brother, that's all I can say, who annoyed me in many ways. And I'm sure I annoyed him in many ways, but he did not deserve that ending. GM2176 writes canis. Thank you for all that you are doing in this investigation. As I watched this story unfold, it appears that a book is being written about Charlie Kirk's trial, leading up to a September 10th execution, like St. Thomas Moore. I wonder if Charlie Kirk was also a man for all seasons. I did not know that there was a book that was being written. I'm not shocked about that at all. I would like to be interested to learn more about who was writing that book. Jane Nichols writes, I went back to the first post after September 10th, and I had forgotten the progression of this journey. Side note, where did you get your cloud shirt? Truth is, the only thing that is undeniable, I wish I knew you personally. We could be best friends, come from the same clock. I don't know which cloud shirt you're speaking about, which cloud shirt. I would assume the blue sweater. I got that in London. I actually get basically all my clothes from London. I try to buy everything once a year, because they have so many cute boutiques, and they just have things that I feel like are not available elsewhere. That's not in London. Jane Nichols writes, I went back to the, oh, I just read that. Leslie writes, I'm so grateful for you. Your resolve and integrity. Thank you for continuing to give us hope. That truth and goodness will prevail. I'm curious that Charlie's parents reached out to you to validate all that you are doing to seek justice for Charlie. No, I have not, and we are still working through some of the tips. I have not received any communication from them. I will tell you that they have always been exceedingly private. I have met them maybe a handful of times in the early training point USA days. I know they went to a couple of events. I've never met a sister. And a lot of people ask about that, whether or not their silence means something. I don't, they are obviously genuinely mourning having lost Charlie, and they have always abstained. So that is not new. Nance the Rock writes, thank you, Candace Fierre, amazing work. Alicia writes, I have been perplexed as to why Erica would so willingly accept the Fed Slop and the trust to our judicial system. Narrative regarding Tyler Robinson. It just hit me. And of course, she would accept the narrative as long as they were looking at anyone else and not her or TPUSA. What I will say is anybody telling you that questioning the people around who have a potentially a billion dollar motive for the person not to be there is asking you to be an idiot. They're asking you to be the kind of person that looks at six million concurrent viewers or a halftime special that only appeared on YouTube and basically told half of the nation FU is just as big as the World Cup. That's ridiculous. It feels like that's the direction of wind lately. That's the direction of travel that they want us to accept stupidity and to just go, oh, that makes sense and they can make anybody they want a celebrity because they have power and they have resources and they have PR team. The next morning they wake up and they just have a bunch of people have Andrew Colvin and say, yep, we did it. We broke a world record. We are contending. This is literal. We are contending to break a Guinness book of world record. That's what they're doing. If those numbers are to be believed, they're going to be in the Guinness book of world record. And what that says is they have no faith in us. They think we are stupid and easily manipulated. And I'm happy that we are at least disproving them of that notion. Ashley Walt writes, thank you for calling it the rightest gemstones. I have been trying to tell everyone. I haven't even watched the show but I kind of got the vibe of it. I saw something online that was posted as a guy. That's that for sure. This person, Oni writes, Candace, are you upscrolled? Please share your name. No, I'm not. I think someone made an account for me. I know that's like contending with Twitter. That is not the real name, the real Candaceau. That's what I'll tell you. Amio writes, I love that there is a clip of Erica speaking to Megan that confirms your recollection of lights flickering. Yet people were calling you a witch. Stay max. PS, thank you for reading comments last week. I stand by saying that you are Charlie's David. Yeah, I saw them. They were trying to make that fetch. By the way, first of all, that's a real condition. I actually want to find it. That is a real thing that people go through. And I don't know why that should shock you. There are all sorts of things. People who can, they see colors when they hear sounds. I don't know if they consider this to be disorders or what it is. I know Kanye has that. People visually, people can hear things that are not the same. And there are a ton of people. I'm going to look this up. You guys wait right here. Lights, flickering, near you. I think I don't know what they call it a syndrome. It has an official name. It's called SLI. It's literally called Street Light Interference, which is a phenomenon where people claim that causes street lights to turn off or flicker upon approach or also known as a medical condition of photosensitive epilepsy seizures that are triggered by flashing and strobing and flickering lights. So I don't know what to say to you. Like, Eric has telling the truth. I'm telling the truth. That's a random thing to make up that when Charlie Rand Street lights went out, it's just real. And if you go into the comments, if people on the gate program, if you go back to our episode, where we were discussing the gate program, yeah, there's a lot of that. So that was strange. I don't know. I didn't say. I don't know. I don't even know what people were trying to ensure from that. So strange. And then people who were going, oh, you're speaking about the third eye, this is demonic. A couple of things. Yes, Charlie spoke to me about his third eye. And I have that in writing. And for those of you who are saying that that's demonic, I would like to remind you that having a conversation, if you want to call it third eye or pineal gland, you have like people, the government that is trying to poison your pineal gland. That's a fact. So I am still worried. All that is very real. But to suggest that someone speaking to someone, by the way, I wasn't even a Catholic in 2018. So that was a weird thing they were trying to push. I have the messages that he was speaking to me about his third eye. And my guess from what I discerned in the context of that conversation was that that's sort of a thing which I think his coach or I don't know who that guy was that he was working with is what ultimately actually brought to Charlie to the Christian faith. the context and I can show you those messages another time, maybe tomorrow, but he had a bad experience. So there's that as well. So I wasn't entirely clear on why I'm always in trouble for telling you the truth about what Charlie told me and which I have in writing. I don't know what anybody was getting from that anyway. I was talking truth. I continued to tell the truth and no one has been able to disprove me in any notion, but I saw them trying to push that like, oh, she's like summoning demons or something. I was like, or I'm telling you about a real life conversation that me and Charlie had in 2018. Anyway, you guys, um, a lot to unpack. Again, if you know anything about this particular Thomas Martin, not the Thomas G. Martin who works up in Buffalo in New York, but the Thomas Martin that has been working with the Southern command, please send us an email more tips at Candace Owens dot com. It would be an interesting dot to connect if so. Anyway, we will see you guys tomorrow.
