The podcast offers a critical analysis of Republican messaging leading into the midterms, highlighting its aggressive, fear-driven tactics—especially concerning women and sexual abuse cases like Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign. A deeply troubling ad targeting Amy Akdon, which falsely accused her of lying about childhood abuse, is condemned as exploitative and morally indefensible. The host strongly criticizes Ali Stucky’s religious arguments, particularly her claim that Christians should avoid horror films, calling it a distortion of scripture that misrepresents Christian teachings on courage and facing evil. A significant point of inquiry involves a tall figure seen on the Losi Center rooftop around the time of Charlie Kirk’s death, which appears visually similar to a previously identified individual named Waluigi, raising speculation about possible connections. The host also expresses deep concern over the increasing presence of Turning Point USA leaders at private Christian schools, describing it as predatory and disrespectful to parents and minors. She contrasts this with TPUSA’s own internal decline, including question screening and limited audience engagement, signaling a loss of authenticity. The analysis emphasizes that genuine faith and political discourse require confronting difficult truths, not avoiding fear or enforcing simplistic, fear-based narratives. The episode underscores a broader pattern of manipulation—political and religious alike—using trauma, fear, and misinformation to gain influence, ultimately urging listeners to question authority and seek truth over scripted messaging.
All right, you guys, happy Wednesday. Guess only two more shows. Really technically this is my last solo show because tomorrow we're gonna be joined by Baron Coleman. But today I just wanna discuss the midterms a little bit. They're just around the corner and the Republican messaging has been exceptional. That's the best way I could put exceptional. It stands out. It's different. They're definitely trying something new for sure. I feel like we went from tough on crime to soft on rape or something that's been the overall messaging since the Epstein files, major blunder for the fake Ramaswami's gubernatorial campaign that I want to discuss, which is kind of the icing on the cake. Also in the Christian land, Ali Stucky is causing some mayhem online with a new call to action for Christians. No scary movies because it's unbiblical. Of course, Erica Kirk is causing mayhem 'cause she always is down in North Carolina at a middle school because she's kind of just decided as we've been covering extensively on the show, but it's really just her right to have access to your children. And the parents aren't really having it. This time they spoke out to the press. I'll tell you about that. We also received a ton of emails from you guys regarding a lot of you who notice that our slenderman, a losy rooftop looks a lot like somebody else that we introduced earlier to you. So we'll get to that as well. Let's jump right back in. Welcome back to Candace. ♪ And I will be right at this time ♪ Okay, so broadly speaking, everybody knows that I am a committed, far right future dictator of America. But that said, sometimes you do have to respect when the other side, the left does something that is hilarious. And I am sorry, but the un-F America tour, the un-F America group, they're on the left and they basically see themselves as at war with Turning Point USA for ideas on college campuses. They did objectively do something that was funny. The groups founder, Zee Cohen caught wind that Turning Point USA was unironically hosting a conspiracy night at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. And I'm not even entirely sure why they would do that. I feel like you're kind of inviting somebody to joke around with you. But anyways, Zee Cohen got up and decided to attend that event presented on the obvious elephant in the room. If you're gonna do a conspiracy night, there are some conspiracies floating around Turning Point USA. Here's what she said before she was immediately shut down. Take a listen. - Guys, I can't make this up. Turning Point is doing conspiracy night at our local college. So we're gonna show up. Come walk with me. - This is a conspiracy that I actually have thought a lot about. And that is what I think that Turning Point USA might have had something to do with the Charlie Kirk martyr. - I think that Candace has just been asking questions. - I hate to jump in at that. That is the one that like my boss is about me and I told him to do so. - Sorry, but that's a funny troll. He instantly says, sorry, my boss is, we're supposed to be free speech advocates actually said that is the one that we cannot answer any questions regarding and we don't do that anymore. We don't do free speech on college campuses for Turning Point USA. Honestly, I would have preferred if she was gonna troll that she asked them about the vandalized statue because I'm all in on that conspiracy theory now. I do believe it was an inside job. A desperate fundraiser ploy concocted by Turning Point Action as the one year anniversary tribute to Charlie's death this statue, oh no, it's been vandalized. And I guess we're never gonna know who did it because the vandals were wearing masks. Anyway, I will say this. The Unaf America group, this is my prediction. It's not my preference and it's my prediction that they're gonna gain ground on college campuses. Ground that, you know, Charlie had achieved. And it's not exactly by the way a no sure name is prediction because what's being demonstrated is that they're at least willing to go to college campuses or at least willing to have debates. Even if the crowd size is small, that's important. Not having an ego in case it needs reminding, engaging in that back forth, believing in the principle of free speech, having your ideas challenged that was how Charlie Kirk built his organization. But suddenly it seems like Turning Point USA is reticent to do that. They now screen questions, the amount of emails that I get about people saying that the questions are being screened. You're not allowed to ask certain questions. You effectively have to trick Turning Point to be able to surprise whoever's on stage with a question. The audience is completely inorganic. There's donors, people that don't go to the school, TPUSA staff members, everything is now doing like a carefully constructed facade. It's lost the energy. And the worst part is that they're now forcing events and underage kids, I will never get over this. It's something that I'm covering regularly because it is atrocious as a mother. This is atrocious. And ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly what is happening down in Fayetteville, North Carolina. And I want to be clear, I covered this a couple of days ago and I didn't name a school. This is a different school from that school, okay? This time I actually can name the school because this particular event has drummed up enough controversy that it spilled out into the local press and like I said, this is not the Veterans Day event that I covered the other day. It seems that Erica is now forcing her presence at Fayetteville Christian School. According to the parents, I'll check out this article and as we go through it, I want you to keep in mind that this is once again a K through 12 campus. So for people that are overseas and kind of have a different school structure, we're talking a school that is from five years old, the students are five years old to age, to 17 years of age. The headline here reads, "City View, Erica Kirk, "visit to Fayetteville Christian School concerns some parents." And then it tells us that the leader of the right wing group, Turning Point USA, appears at the school during a private event on October 28th, parents question whether it's safe for students. That's a good entry point and I'm gonna show you why first the article reads, "And appearance by Erica Kirk, "the CEO and board chair of the conservative organization, "Turning Point USA, at Fayetteville Christian School, "in late October is raising concerns from some parents "about the security and the school's priorities. "Kirk is scheduled to address junior high "and high school students about civic engagement "at the private Christian School on October 28th, "according to an announcement from the school provided "to City View. "She assumed leadership of the organization days after "the September 2025 assassination "of her husband, Charlie Kirk." Quote in announcement to families, Tammy Peters, the Fayetteville Christian co-founder and head of school, described Erica Kirk's visit as an honor. She wrote, "This is quite an honor for FCS "because she only speaks at a few schools each year," Peters wrote. But some parents questioned the school's priorities. Saying, "I chose a private Christian education "because I expect an environment that prioritizes "my child's academic development, spiritual growth "and above all, physical safety." A parent wrote in an email to City View. Parents interviewed by City View question, how the appearance fits into their chapel instruction, what additional security will involve and why families were not consulted before the visit was announced and quotes. Now, I can tell you guys, the parents are telling the truth again. I still am kind of going back my mind to when they were gaslighting us and pretending this wasn't happening, and they're like, remember? The first called America, they're like, "Look at how many people showed up." And I said, "Hey, this was forced on them. "It's an assembly." And they were like, "No, it's not." And now it's just kind of all spinning out of control. It's so weird to reflect on the very many lies they tell all the time. Like, they can't tell truth about anything. But anyways, here's where we are. The parents are telling you the truth again. This was sort of dropped on them in an email. And I do want to say, by the way, thank you to the many great parents out there who attend this school, who have emailed us over the details. Because of you guys, we are now in possession of the full email that was sent out on October 2nd, informing the parents that it was their distinct honor to host the widow. Here's what the email reads. Dear FCS families, we are honored and excited to share that Erica Kirk's team reached out to Fayetteville Christian School and invited us to host her for a special chapel service. Okay, that's interesting. So they're now reaching out and like, you can invite, you can host me, ta-da. It continues, this is quite an honor for FCS. Since she only speaks at a few schools each year, she will be speaking to our junior high and high school students on Lankin, leaving out times. Her message will focus on the importance of civic engagement and responsibility that we have as citizens to be informed, involved, and engaged in our communities. Due to limited space, we are unable to accommodate guests from outside of the FCS community. The invitation is reserved for FCS parents and families. We are not advertising this event to the public, but extra security will be in place. Parents who plan to attend must arrive between Blank and Blank and must check in through the office. FCS parents and family members who wish to attend must RSVP in advance, please use the form below so that we can make appropriate seating arrangements. Because space is limited, seats will be reserved in the order that RSVPs are received. We are truly grateful for this special opportunity, and we look forward to welcoming
Mrs. Erica Kirk to Fayetteville Christian School. Go Warriors. Go Warriors. I feel like Mrs. Danny Peters is just gaslighting everybody. This is amazing. You're gonna love it. It's so wonderful that we got this unique opportunity. Guys, this is creepy. This is Halloween, creepy. Okay, this is not normal. Again, for our listeners who are outside the United States, they're saying, okay, the middle school and the high school. So we're talking about students aged 11 through 217. Imagine your 11 year old comes home. This is not normal. This is not happened in America. Maybe you might see a circumstance for the first lady or I can think of when actually Obama, when she launched her, everyone needs to eat healthy at schools and then she picked a few schools to go like encourage the kids to work out and she joined some gym classes. That's something that you might see in America. You don't see a political organization going around just dropping a widow in the same year or just after one year anniversary of a public assassination. This was not Charlie Kirk's vision. So why is Erica doing this? Why can't we leave the kids alone? How is she not creeping herself out at this point? Initially she was creeping out the public. How is she now not creeping herself out? That's a more important question because I would give myself the ik. If parents kept writing in and saying hi, I am not comfortable with you forcing your ideas on my underage children and I just was like, I'm gonna do it anyways, it feels predatory. It just feels predatory. It's not respecting parents, especially in the rather extreme context of the constant messaging that has come out of this organization that Erica's under attack. She's facing threats. The organization is under attack. They can't deal with it. Statues are under attack. They're being vandalized on their campus of the TPUSA campus in headquarters despite 24/7 security. They can't catch the gang bangers that are after them. The gang bangers can't even be caught on their own campus. They are permanently under duress. They cited multiple death threats, member NBC, didn't entire article, calling me a digital assassin, data Republican, aka Jenica Pound, aka maybe Tyler Robinson's twin sister, aka just saying, while working for our nation's department defense, she did that entire threat detailing how people want to harm Erica Kirk because that's what happens if you critique her. Okay, let's we forget the vice president of the United States came out and shook his finger at us because not even he and his secret service team could keep Erica Kirk safe, right? That's what we were told. She couldn't make her commitments back on a campus in Georgia, a college campus in Georgia, forget middle school, a college campus. She could not attend this event with secret service present because her safety was a priority, not even at the White House Correspondence and where I want to go home, it's just happening all around her. But now parents are supposed to be chill because you're middle schooler, sometimes you're pre-schooler. Well, when she gets there, everything's fine. Well, she's welcoming herself to underage audiences and you should not have any concerns about that. I'm sorry, but no, that does not make sense, okay? Also, I cannot imagine, to me, I can't think of why they just continue to try to sell this under the banner of faith and chapel. When this feels to me, this is again my opinion, more like a military operation, like the Department of Defense is just forcing her on the public despite our very many objections and I'm going to continue to cover how her access to underage children unnerves me. It makes me uncomfortable. Given the great many scandals of child abuse that are running 10 gentle to this organization, and I do think that somebody, maybe it's me I'm a attorney leave, should take the time to think through what all of these Christian academies have in common that they are willing to subject their student body to this for no reason, okay? There has to be some common denominator. I'm going to guess military, we'll see, because we know these common denominators exist in our separate investigation into what took place from September 10th, there's a picture that is emerging. Too many people are tied to the theme of child abuse and human trafficking, whether it's I work for ICAC, I work for internet crimes against children, I run a human trafficking org, I work for the special victims units and focus on human trafficking in children, or on the other side, it's all I happen to be here that day working on this event, my brother, my uncle, my sister, my father is currently facing charges for child abuse, it's a theme and it has been noted and I myself have wondered allowed if land twigs was not blackmailed by the state for an internet crime. That feels right to me, given everything that we know, it's again my opinion, that he may have helped to set Tyler Robinson up as a Patsy because he got caught in something online. And there's a lot of evidence that is pointing to that plausibility, certainly a lot is beginning to pile up, I mean yesterday we showed you guys an exclusive video, a couple of videos actually of someone who can fairly be described as an exceptionally tall individual that was back on that Losi rooftop 20 minutes after Charlie Kirk got hit, right? I've made it clear, I believe for a lot of reasons that this is the same individual who at 1223 or just before 1223, executes that military crawl across the Losi center rooftop, gets into a position and then he sprints away, jumps off of the rooftop and I believe that this military man returned to the scene of the non-crime because I do not believe that Charlie was shot from that rooftop, I believe they were putting on a show and it was a distraction. Well, we received a ton of emails from you guys last night and many of you noted something that we had noted as well, which is why I've been slowly telling you the story that Slenderman, as we've been referring him as a Slenderman on the rooftop, Slenderman looks a lot like a character that we introduced you to earlier and who we called Waluigi, ah, because Waluigi, his legs don't lie, okay? That is a dominant genetic trait, Waluigi's legs, and she just looks like a mishap like him and you guys noticed that and I said, this is the guy, when I saw the rooftop stuff, I was like, these legs look familiar to me, they look familiar to me, a very tall man that parked that gray Dodge Challenger in the end missions lot that morning and he appeared to be tailed by a black SUV, they show up at the same time, they leave at the same time and you guys might also recall that he struggled to park the car, it's like the Austin power scene, back forth, back forth. Actually I have a theory on that by the way, I think he could be from a country that drives on the other side of the road anyway, 'cause their entire steering wheel is on the opposite side of the road. By the way, it's just a theory, there's no evidence of that obviously, but it would trip up your brain if you had to then drive a car in America. Anyway, here is Waluigi 'cause I'm gonna show you this, just walking, showing you the clip that we already showed you. I'm showing you him first here by himself. Remember, this was at around 8 a.m. in the morning, in the admissions lot, which a lot of students refer to as the admin lot, okay? And I'm gonna show you this side-by-side footage of Slenderman and Waluigi, potentially the same person walking just because I wanna show it to you, that's why. Check this out. Walking towards each other. Like, I think we also have him walking up the same way. I don't know if you guys have that clip as well. I definitely have noted some strong similarities. And I'm glad that you guys saw that. Suffices to say, I tend to agree with you so much so that I was tempted to just call him Waluigi on the basis of the build, the gate, the height, but I stopped myself because I didn't wanna assert something as a fact and put an idea in your head. Anyway, as I said earlier, what cannot be denied, what is factual, is that this is an exceptionally tall individual. Tyler Robinson is only 5'10", okay? That is a, that's a disparity that's gonna be noted. I'm freely speculating while it's barely legal to do so, that whoever this individual is. He jumped off of those rooftop at 1223, and then he returned 20 minutes later, and he sort of lingers, looks for an opportunity. I think potentially to drop the screwdriver that officer Bagley then locates less than two minutes after he departs the walkway. Regardless, I think we can assert that the feds have a lot of explaining to do. And as I indicated, there is more evidence that we have not yet presented or shared because we think it would be more prudent to wait until the trial. I want the state to further substantiate their narrative. I don't want them to have the opportunity to update or to change times with the trial looming, speaking of which a hearing is scheduled to take place. On Friday, and it's kind of been trending because it's been announced that they're not going to allow during
this meeting. Any video, audio or any broadcast whatsoever for the upcoming hearing, which there are, I'm assuming we can get the transcripts. It's just a trial setting hearing to go over scheduling, but apparently not allowing anybody into the room is a typical for hearings in Utah, so that's kind of what's been causing the uproar online. Either way, we will be following it, we will be tracking it, and they are going to permit still for still photography from desert news. We will, I mean, we're at least we're going to be able to find out when this trial is set for eventually, because you know that I will be paying the most attention to every detail of it. Let's take a quick break before we discuss Ali Stucky, Vivek Ramaswamy, and just Republicans doing the most ahead of midterms. All right, you guys for 20 years, pre-born has stood in the gap between fear and hope, and this year alone, God has used pre-born to save nearly 60,000 babies from abortion. Ms. Rovi Wade was overturned. The abortion industry has not slowed down. It actually just adapted. Women now faces a decision faster, more privately, and more alone than ever before, but every day inside a pre-born network clinic, a woman sees her baby on an ultrasound. Here's a heartbeat for the first time in everything changes. The chance for new life sky rockets, and this year that moment has led to thousands of commitments to Christ. Proof that pre-born isn't just saving babies, it's rescuing souls. So right now, another mother needs that moment and you can give it to her. For just $28, you can help to provide one life-saving ultrasound. $140 helps to rescue five babies and all gifts are tax deductible. So if you'd like to give dial pound 250 and say the keyboard baby, again, that's pound 250 baby, or visit pre-born.com/candis. I also want to remind you guys about dose because if you've been feeling sluggish, bloated, or like your metabolism is not what it used to be, your liver is one of the first things that you should be thinking about. It plays a major role in metabolism, energy, and your inflammatory response, which is why I take dose for your liver daily. I've taken it for about a year now and I've noticed less bloating, a set of your energy throughout the day. It's a doctor-formulated plant-based liquid supplement with zero sugar. Just one two-ounce shot is equivalent to 17 cold-press traumatic shots, which can help the decrease inflammation. Positase-like fresh orange juice, so it's really easy to take daily. What really gives me confidence is that the full formula has been tested in two double-blind placebo-controlled clinical studies showing positive impacts on liver enzyme levels with clinical backing for reducing fatigue and bloating. So if you are ready to give your liver the support that it deserves, you can head over to dosedaily.co/candice or enter code Candice@Checkout, and you'll get 35% off your first subscription. Your bite is so much for you, so you should do something for your body. Again, that's dosedaily.co/candice for 35% off your first month subscription. Try it for three months and see how you feel. And on that note, I want to tell you guys about the wellness company, because we all know that Americans love sushi right now over the last two decades raw fish consumption has practically exploded. Sushi bars are everywhere, grocery stores and gas stations sell it. Millions of people now eat raw fish weekly, but there is a hidden risk that most people don't think 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 they're nearly impossible to see, but they are making their way into the human body. Once inside, parasites can hide for years while frequently laying eggs before any symptoms appear, which is why so many physicians are raising awareness about parasite exposure. Dr. Prima-Kuller recommends doing a parasite cleanse at least once a year as preventative measure. The wellness company offers a hard-to-access Rx parasite cleanse, which is USA compounded Ibermectin M&Bendazole. Each capsule is lab tested for quality. You can now get a more budget-friendly 45 capsule option that costs $250 less, giving you two 21-day parasite cleanse cycles. It's the same formula as the original, just a smaller quantity. So head over to twc.healthslashcandis and use code canis at checkout and you'll save $52 plus you'll get free shipping. That's twc.healthslashcandis. Cleanses are available to USA residents only. All right, so I've never pretended to be a PR genius. I don't have a background in marketing per se. I'm just observing some things about the Republican messaging going into midterms. It's been a lot. There's a lot going on and as an outside observer with no background in PR in marketing, it appears that they're coming apart. I don't really know how else to say it. The Republican messaging is a bit weird. They're angry about things that they shouldn't be angry about. They're definitely angry at women, I would say, some of the messaging. Right off the bat, I think the big one is, are we still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? I mean, Trump tweeting that he doesn't want you as a voter. If you care about Jeffrey Epstein, was weird messaging right off the bat. He did. He wrote long tweet and was basically like, you're a loser. I don't want you. I don't even care. My past supporters have never bought into this. This is a democratic hoax. And it's like, I don't think it's a hoax. Jeffrey Epstein was not a hoax, so he tried that. That didn't work. We got the Iran war, which we explicitly voted for him not to start new wars in the Middle East. And then the messaging on that was kind of like, stop being poor. He doesn't care if you can't afford gas. He's doing you a favor by going to war with Iran because you wouldn't want them to have nukes. And they've been on the brink of having nukes for, I guess, the last 30 years, but never having the nukes. So that's been kind of weird. Of course, we're a kind of default anti-Semitic. If we don't want to fight Israel's wars, that's been weird messaging. Then there's just kind of like the Republican conservative podcaster, Orbit, which really seized the Lindsey Clancy case and kind of said women are all killing their children. That's been a strong Republican message right now, women are uncapable of being on the internet because they watch TikTok and they want to kill their children. I mean, Ali Sucki explicitly said that your wife should not be on TikTok. That feels a little extreme. I don't personally know anybody that's killing their children on the weekends. It's not a thing that comes up in any of my relationships with women. I don't know anybody who's done it. So it kind of looks like, I don't know, I wouldn't have gone with that. And you know, the Cornell 7 case was another time where I felt like maybe Republicans didn't need to be so vocal, defending two sides of a disgusting coin. Especially with the Epstein thing. And I was like, wait, I need to stay away. Since we're already kind of defending our president's kind of saying, look the other way, on the child abuse, maybe let's not jump into this case with so much fervor. We did that anyways. And now we have a vape from Swami who this blunder is just kind of adding to the pile. Like, I don't know why we're flirting so much with sexual abuse, I think, a little bit. That's what I would say. And so anyways, he is running for, he hasn't been running for a while. I tend to think the vape is very smart. This was not very smart at all. This was very, very dumb. He's running against Amy Akdon out in Ohio for governor. And he, his team put together an ad. I don't know what happened. They hadn't actually released it yet. But they saw it fit to have it somehow enter the internet orbit and for people to attack Amy Akdon over what happened when she was 12 years old. And what they did was they, they booked her mother to call her a liar. Amy Akdon was sexually abused when she was 12. This has now been looked into. People have found the court case her and her brother were removed from her mother's custody after abuse from their stepfather. And they decided to produce this advertisement with her mother calling her a liar. Her mother chose the stepfather over her own kids at the age of 12, I want to say. So like this, this happened when she was 12. So I just feel like maybe just stay away from that topic altogether. Now they instead produced an ad from her mother who sounds like a horror show, just like on its face. And then this was reinforced by Laura Lumer because you know, we traded Charlie Kirk as an advisor to Trump for Laura Lumer who is being taken seriously talk about a horror show. You know, she is the, she's a real life horror movie. And she's like, just doesn't matter. She's like, Amy probably lied. Who cares about anything? Anyway, I want you to see this attack ad because it's really bad. Take a listen. Amy Astana Arthur and I made me Akdon's mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association. Building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent, it's not easy for a mother to say this. But Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. Nana battles true. She's lied her entire life.
my daughter needs help and she can't help you if she needs help herself. People can change but first they have to tell the truth and my daughter still isn't doing that. Don't vote for people who lie. Don't let her become your governor. If you think she'll make your life better, you're fully yourself. It won't only get worse. In a strange from mom since she's 12, when mom makes a comeback in your life and it's for a political ad, a mom that will in general, even if everything she's saying about her daughter, if she thinks her daughter is a liar because she said she grew up in a tent to re-emerge in someone's life doing a political ad, I already know the mom's kind of horrific. And then when you read through the court case documents and it turns out that they fled the state, her father didn't bring charges, you know, a good measure is is Laura Lumer on my side about this issue? The answer is yes, I'm probably doing the wrong thing. And here's what Laura Lumer had to say after it was revealed that this was real. She wrote seriously, "Screw every Republican who was attacking the vake over this ad by Amy Acton's own mother calling Amy out for being a liar." Don't you all remember when Democrats ran an ad against Rep Gozar featuring his siblings? Don't you remember when Democrats paraded Mary Trump around to attack President Trump? Yeah, it was all pretty gross. The GOP is full of losers who hate winning. Now they are running defense for Amy Acton, a drunk woman who locked Ohio down during COVID instead of further investigating whether or not Amy Acton lied about her mother and stepfather. I am on the side of Amy's mother. Yeah, I'm sure you are a little Bolshevik princess. Amy's mother is a woman and the Democrats told us that we need to believe all women. If you live in Ohio, get out and vote. This is again after they went through the case and realized that this happened, that the father fled the state with the mother and did not come to face. And he had been accused of it in the past, and with his prior family, they're just leaning in on this. And she's just like whatever we have to do to win. Even if we have to reach in and find something about a 12-year-old who was abused by her parents and removed from the home and did the right things and reported it and has been a strange from her mother since we should use this to win. I don't know. I just I don't think that's the best messaging. Giving the Epstein slide, it's true to Laura Lumer's form, I would say, but that form is not something that Republicans should be allying with. I'm waiting for the part where Republicans get completely slaughtered, and then they somehow blame me and Tucker, because I think that's coming. That will eventually come. And they're going to say, we didn't direct our audiences to vote for this. And you're right, we didn't. I guess, let me see for myself, you're right, I didn't. I would not lift a finger to help what this campaign has become, what it is defending, the evil, the horror show, the people that are around that are saying, don't even take it back, who cares, fight dirty. Again, a little bit different than Mary Trump speaking about Trump, which I also thought was gross, like family members violating their family members publicly is gross and everyone should have seen from it, but you're literally talking about child sex abuse. And that's that should have been a bridge too far. I guess it's not. Anyway, on top of this messaging from the Vivek campaign, who they're now trying to try and move on from it, because they realize it's been a disaster. Ali, Beth, Stucky, you know, I've covered her on this show. I am not a fan of this iteration of Ali Stucky. She seems to be growing more extreme in what I have kind of termed to be, it's just her opinion, but she always wraps it up in a Bible verse. It's like bubble gum Christianity, and it's been, she's a part of a, you know, a large group of people had been doing this, which is like, they want you to do something. So they tell you the Bible command you to do it, rather than just giving their opinion. And there's something about that that's very dark and it's wrong. And my position as a Catholic is that females should not be pastors. And I know she says she agrees with that, but that's what she's doing. This is a new medium. It's podcasting. If every day you are interpreting the Bible for the masses. And in this instance, and I'm going to show you, she literally flips scripture on its head. Like, she, she, she completely inverts scripture. She discerns the exact opposite meaning because it's how she feels. And that was one of the things that made me look at the Catholic faith because I had my husband debating Ali and my husband was speaking to her. He kept saying the doctrine shows the church teaching. And then when she would go, well, I feel I think, and I realize this is kind of just your opinion wrapped up in the Bible verse. Anyway, she has been part of this march. She's grown a little bit, I'd say, more radical. Women shouldn't be on TikTok. Like, okay. Now she is giving her opinion on a Halloween. And she has come up with a conclusion that women actually all Christians should not be watching horror films. Now, I don't want to put words in her mouth. So I want you to actually listen to what she said because it's very odd to me. Take a listen. I just don't think it is at all an option for Christians to not only fully participate in Halloween and all of its darkness and scaringness. But I also just don't think that Christians should be a fan of horror in general. Like, I don't think you should be reading books that make you scared. I don't think that you should be listening to true crime podcasts that make you scared. I don't think you should be listening or watching movies that make you scared. And I have like, I'm to, I've seen Rosemary's baby. Like, I've seen the really scary movies out there. And now I'm like, oh, I know why my mom didn't want me to watch signs when I was like in sixth grade. It's scared me. Like being scared is not like how many times? How many times do we read throughout scripture from Jesus and the New Old Testament? Do not fear. Do not fear. And yet, we purposely consume content that is meant to make us scared. I don't think we often think about like the horror content, the scary content, law and order SVU that you are imbibing that is actually a direct contradiction of Jesus's command to not fear or be anxious about anything. So we shouldn't be facilitating fear. There's so much wrong here. And again, I do not like to do this on my podcast, but I was just so, well, you're so word horrified by this in a lot of ways that I felt like I wanted to respond. I know it was trending and people were by and large calling this out for being so wrong. And the problem is, the first part is just her opinion. And I keep saying this. There's no problem with her giving her opinion. If I said to you, I don't think you should watch horror films. And you and I are talking, by the way, I'm not a fan of horror films. And it's not, I don't need to base that in scripture. The reason why I'm not a fan of horror films is because I'm very sensitive to getting nightmare. So if I watch a horror film, I will then have a nightmare and I don't like having nightmares. And so I prefer to read books, nonfiction books. I prefer to consume the news to understand what's going on. But there's something about like the visual picture of it that I'm sensitive to. I don't need to then wrap it up in the Bible verse. She continues to demonstrate this inability to just give her opinion without then trying to make it righteous and saying, well, how many times the Bible actually say that what I'm saying is right. That's what is the problem here with a lot of evangelical churches, a lot of these evangelical pastors, a lot of Protestant pastors full stop. Is that they just are actually giving you their opinion. And rather than having the strength to say, hey, that's my opinion and you're, you're free to agree. They then make it righteous. And that's where it gets really, really wrong. And it disturbs me because it's like that's sort of like what a sin, what a sin to ordain yourself a minister because you don't have the courage to say, this is my opinion. And it's free for people to reject my opinion. I'm not going to say Jesus commands you to do this. She's saying Jesus command you, but actually it's Ali commanding you not to watch law in order SVU. So she was not even talking about, she was not even talking about extreme horror. She said law in order SVU, it gives you anxiety when you watch it. She shouldn't feel anxious when you watch this. Again, that is the exact inversion of the scripture that she is mentioning. It is the exact inversion. Actually, the Bible is not commanding you to go la la la, nothing evil's happening. Oh, I'm not. I can't see anything evil and that that's better. I'm in a better relationship, but Jesus, that's not true. That's, it is actually in each and every time that she's referring to the do not fear scripture, the Bible is commanding you to be courageous. And again, let me, let me say this because it's inappropriate for me to be a pastor. I want to say that check in with your priest. Like I always say every single time. Okay. But it's very clear to me that the Bible is commanding us to be courageous. And each and every circumstances that we are hearing do not fear. Do not fear. Why? Because the Holy Spirit is, you know, you should not be concerned with material, the material world. Bring your problems to me. Pray. Strengthening when you start to feel that anxiety, when you start to feel that fear, you should be fearful. By the way, when she goes in a rant where she says like, you know, we shouldn't feel anxiety. So Christian shouldn't be feeling anxious. Christian shouldn't be feeling paranoid. No, actually, I am paranoid, but not paranoid about worldly things. That's, that's, that's the, that's the general tone. Right? I'm not paranoid about worldly
things because I have a relationship with Christ. And so when you start to feel that pressure of the world, like, hey, should I sell my soul and lie about what is so obvious? And I'm giving you a personal example here. What is so obvious about the various holes in the Charlie Kirk story. Should I sell my soul for worldly comforts? Man, I can get a deal with the DOD. I can get paid millions of dollars. Hey, I could, I could jump on to discord and make some money cutting clips. Should I do that? Because then I'll be comfortable and I'll just be quiet. I hear, I hear the Bible. I do not fear. As a no, you should not be doing that. You should be courageous. You should be faithful and you should have faith in the Lord and you can trust the Lord. He's not saying, don't pretend that it's happening. Shut yourself off. You shouldn't even know when you, a lot of our SVU is based on real stories, by the way. And it's also kind of dorky. It's not like, it's not exactly scary. Taylor Swift is named one of her cats after a law and order character. So it's really not that scary. But it covers real evil. And you have to know real evil exists because it brings you closer to God to know that. Like when you see real evil, when you start talking about the occult and you start understanding that there are people who are practicing these sorts of things, blood sacrifices, the topics that we cover on this show. You go, wow, I need to have a relationship with goodness. It is a part of Christianity to acknowledge that demonism. It's real. You have to confront that. You have to be bold. You have to be willing to face that. You are actually being instructed to be courageous, not to cover your eyes and cover your ears and pretend it's not happening. And so I do want to show you there were some great takes on this. Like people responding to her. I think Matt Wallsted said a lot, but he was very on the nose with this. Here's one thing that he said. He wrote, I'd actually argue that horror is the most Christian genre of film. Obviously, that's not true of the torture porn stuff. Films and Texas chains on ask her tradition, but supernatural horror is often subtly Christian. Sometimes very explicitly Christian. It's the only category of film where the supernatural demons, spirits, exorcisms, the church, etc. are consistently taken seriously. The only genre where the priest might actually be the good guy. Horror has deep roots in Christian thought and tradition. That is correct. I also should have had you pull. I think Jack Prasovic, I don't know if we pulled it, but he also had tweeted about this. And I think it was Jack Prasovic who was speaking about, when you're talking about Christ's passion, what is more horrific? What is is more gory than watching that film? I can only watch it once his passion. Don't acknowledge it because then like it cover your ears, we shouldn't be watching this sort of thing because it makes us uncomfortable. No, we should because when you see true evil, it inspires you to be good. And the Bible asserts that we need to be courageous when confronting it. I do want to also read this tweet by, I don't know who this user is just correct. Just actually, I think the handle is just correct response. I felt like it was actually a correct response of this user wrote CF Dalton. The real problem is not that some Christians watch the exorcist. It's that most Christian storytelling has become allergic to difficulty. Scripture itself is full of violence, dread, betrayal, and unresolved tension. The tradition that produced Dante, the medieval mystery plays in the older Gothic imagination, did not treat, do not fear as a content restriction. It treated it as a moral orientation inside stories that took evil and judgment seriously. Once that is abandoned, what remains is usually sentimental and unconvincing precisely because it refuses the conditions under which faith actually has to operate. That is such a powerful way of looking at it. Faith actually has to operate with under these conditions. Horror is not mandatory, but a culture that can no longer tell a hard story is not healthier for the loss. And the reason why I'm giving, dedicating so much time discussing this is because this bubble gum Christianity is, in my opinion, not real Christianity. It is the reason why we have seen all throughout the year, the pastor, self ordained ministers jumping on stage and telling you, don't even consider the possibility that Charlie was betrayed. Don't even, it says here's a verse about widows or whatever it is. What do you mean don't even consider? What, what is the Bible a story of? What is the Bible a story of biblical level of betrayal? These things are real. They're not imaginary. And when someone's trying to tell you, well, just make your life sparkly. Don't pay attention. Don't watch shows that make you aware that real evil exists and acknowledge that these things have actually happened. She also says, don't listen to true crime podcasts. Why not? It's true crime. How can I feel that I am taking care of my children and keeping my children safe if I lock myself into this perspective that everything scary is wrong. And again, she's speaking about this in the context of Halloween. And actually, I wish she would get into a little bit of the history of Halloween, the Catholic tradition that was perverted and talking about whether or not that's a totally different subject of whether or not the Gore and the scariest around Halloween is something that Christians should be engaging in. Great discussion. It's something that we should have. It's again, a historical discussion that we should have that would lead her back to the Catholic tradition. But again, she can never give her opinion without somehow making it righteous. And that's very dangerous. Okay. Give your opinion for free, say why you don't or do something, ask people what they think, ask for feedback, but stop making yourself a female pastor that thinks that they can pluck verses out of scripture and put that on people and say, well, the Bible commands this. The Bible commands my opinion, which is subject to change at any moment. It's, it's frankly wrong. We'll be right back after a break. All right, you guys, do you maybe owe back taxes or maybe just have some unfile tax returns? Maybe you retired and suddenly got hit with a tax bill that you didn't expect. Maybe you pulled money from your 401k or IRA early and now the IRS wants their share. However your tax issue started, you should know that the outcome is probably going to be the same because many Americans are going to owe again for this upcoming tax year with no plan in place. Well, you can change that. You can actually stop what you're doing and head to tax network USA. We're just $49. They can pull your actual IRS data and give you a free tax strategy.

Again, that's tnusa.com/candis. I also want to mind you guys about American financing because what if you could delay your next two mortgage payments? I mean, imagine putting those two payments in your pocket and finally getting a little bit of breathing room ahead of the holidays. It's actually very possible if you call American financing today. If you're feeling stretched by everyday expenses, such as groceries, gas bills, all of that piling up, you should know you're not alone. Most Americans are putting these expenses on credit cards and the credit card rates are insane right now. American financing can show you how to use your home's equity to pay off that debt instead. Their salary-based mortgage consultants are helping homeowners just like you restructure their loans and save money every month. There are no upfront fees to find out how much you could save. Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month, which is like a $10,000 per annum raise. So call American financing today at 800-795-1210. Again, that's 800-795-1210 or visit Americanfinancing.net/owens. That's Americanfinancing.net/owens. There's a reason that the Bible says fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Think about that. What are we getting at there? Fear of the Lord is being a wisdom. Not fear of Donald Trump, fear of the Republican Party. If they're going to invite you to Mar-a-Lago, hey, just pretending like you know it's okay with the Epstein files, go out and say some talking points. That's not the beginning of wisdom. That's worldly stuff and people to make themselves comfortable in the world will submit themselves to really dark things. And no, no, you should have fear of the Lord. That's the beginning of wisdom. I just want to say that. I just need to let this topic go, but I was just so disturbed by that. I really just need everyone to stop pretending that they are a pastor. Share your opinions. I want to hear them. They might change. Do not pretend that your perspectives are biblical. Spiral rights. If this plot got any thicker, referring to Slenderman's last Waluigi on the rooftop, it might actually stop a 30 odd six. That's a fantastic comment. Box cowfish rights also remember last May when RFK was pushing to establish a registry for people with autism, but regarding Brian Cole and what we discussed yesterday, this administration is so, so dark. I agree with you. I agree with you. And again, evidence of that is everywhere. I mean, a couple of years ago, it wasn't so easy to say genocide is always wrong. I've made it easier for people, but trust me, I had to come to my knees and have trust in the Lord that I would land on my feet when I was canceled, like, canceled everywhere for saying something that was just true. You know, if you're going to be pro life, be pro life. It's not pro.
life with some minor exceptions, depending on who's paying me. Anyway, I said I wasn't going to wear it again about that, but I did. Comments from today's episode, Michael Wright's best, Candace Quote, Charlie died free. You, President Trump, will die a slave. Yeah, I mean, and I mean that. That's exactly exactly what I mean. Because at the end of the day, Charlie said no. Because he knew that there was, I'm not going to say, I don't want people to say a higher power. It's a real power. It's a higher power. It's a real power. And this political stuff, it's fickle. It is not real. It is imaginary power. Continuing your comment, but remember, we must always pray for mercy if we ask God for justice. We might just receive it. God bless you, Candace. Your family and team, free Father Ripperger. Christ is King. Indeed, yeah, I do hope he does more work, Father Ripperger is who Sean Ryan sat down with part of me and he just, you should watch the interview with Father Ripperger and Sean Ryan absolutely amazing to just kind of open that discussion about free masonry, talk about the occult, talk about demons and so many people I feel like they woke up after those discussions and Sean was doing more work with him. And then I believe the archbishop in of the diocese came and said that Father Ripperger should take a, you know, a one year fast from podcasts and I feel like that is frustrating because we need to hear those discussions. We, you should watch that and you should feel fearful when you watch that discussion and really see how the world works. It's not a game when we're talking about satanism and demons and possessions, this stuff is real. It's not Hollywood, it is, it's very real. And I feel like we're getting there as a society, especially in the West recognizing that these are ancient games, like I say, Ali writes, people need to realize that you did not abandon your friendship with Charlie, even when he was very pro-Israel, good people can have bad opinions or even investments and be hypocritical. You don't abandon friends unless they betray you, you pray for them and you help them grow. People need to realize that I used to be pro-Israel, you know, so when people dig up stuff on me and they're like, look at you, yeah, growth, conversations, studying, reading books. And so you can't, when you make the change and you see what happens, expect everyone to instantly follow you. You can lead them, you can have discussions and I always knew Charlie was not going to be far behind me because that's just how it worked. I don't know. I just knew that let's take a pause here and it was, it was very instant as you can see. Charlie started to feel that pressure and then he started to dive and then he started finding these evangelical pastors to be problematic and started to pursue the Catholic faith. He was just right there and neither one of us, I think, to a great frustration for the people that will did, neither one of us ever betrayed one another and that makes me so happy. That makes me so happy because we were both unaware that these forces were intentionally trying to drive us apart. But we just had our basic morals. We were guided by our morals and our principles and we're like, hey, we can have a disagreement. But we're not going to throw each other under the bus and we're still going to be friends. Stacey Chapman writes, congratulations on your beautiful growing family. I am wishing you a safe and easy delivery, delivery. I also wanted to shout out to Uncle Theo, his new special drop today and it is hilarious. I have not seen it. I do have to watch Theo's special dropped on Netflix. I can't wait to watch it. I know how hard he worked on it and he's the best and yes, we do call him Uncle Theo because that's when my kids call him like, when does Uncle Theo coming over? He's like the cool uncle. They comes over with like games and like, let's play this. He makes a, look, he's making me look boring because the boys are like, yeah, let's fight. I got to learn to fight toddlers, then they'll think I'm cool. At least when they're sick, they think I'm cool because then they want to cut it with mom, you know? But then when boys wake up, they just want swords and they want to bash each other over the head. And I'm not the best at that. I got to tell you. Long film rights free, Brian Cole indeed agree. We'll see what happens with that. We will continue to cover that case. Zammett writes, we do not consent to demons by looking away here on the Candace Owens show. Yeah. It does feel like a form of consent also to pretend it's not real, like that's not happening. Like I said, you should, another part of her episode, she says, you know, we shouldn't feel paranoid. No, you should feel paranoid, you're paranoia. I am paranoid every single day about not getting into heaven, like eternity. That's eternity. We can't even comprehend eternity. That's my paranoia. By side with evil, for worldly comforts and get a little bit of money doing this or that, I might not get into heaven because I know this happened and I'm not using my platform to speak and my platform that I have, this is by the grace of God, I'm no idiot. This isn't my platform. It's even like saying it's my platform because I just had trust in the process and I feel that then people slowly started waking up at different times and we're here today and we don't know how long we're going to be here. We don't know how long I'm going to have a platform, but I intend to use it by telling and sharing the truth. And you know, that's that. Basketball writes, Christ is King sending prayers and blessings to the baby on the way. I feel like I'm carrying a basketball. So I like your username. Basketball continues. Thanks for all you do. Candace truth will prevail. We love you. Thank you guys so much. Melody writes, can you tell us where you got the gold crucifix behind you? I don't remember and I feel like I should remember. I know it was gifted to me, but because we got gifted a few crucif, whoever it is is going to text me. They're probably watching live. My phone a friend, can I call George, George is the, like I am, I feel like I got that, my baptism. I mean, so much trouble. I'm deleting this from the episode. As soon as we get off guys, you're deleting this from the episode, who is this person who asked me this question? You know, I have pregnancy brain. It is, it's really, really beautiful, but I don't know where I got it. So there's that. Jane Doe writes, guess what's in Fayetteville, Fort Bragg, guess what is there? The eighth psychological operations group, yes, is referring back to where Erica is speaking. Yeah, no. The founder of the school has a military background and her husband is a colonel in the military. Why am I always just up in somebody's family immediately? I don't know. I don't know why I'm like this, guys. I don't want to be like this. I don't want to constantly be doing people's ancestry, but it's just as soon as I was like, who is this like a gaslighty type email that's like, we're so, we're so honored. It's amazing. You won the prize. You get to do my dishes, that's just an honor. It's like, well, what? I just had to have a peak. I only had a peak that her husband's a colonel in the military who lived and served in Eastern Europe. I only had a peak. That's it. It was a peak. Merch available on the website. If you would like to support us, you're going to go canisowans.com. The substitute teacher will be in tomorrow and we will have a mug for him as he takes over. I think he's starting the first week of November, by the way. Look at the latte. I told my priest that I would chill. I feel like I should have had that one today. I think I did good. My priest isn't going to watch my show. I think I did okay. I don't think he's going to be like, you did okay, but you also are not supposed to be talking about the Bible, your female. I love that. The Catholic Church is a brick wall against female pastors. I just kind of like it. I can't explain it. It's weird. Anyway, we do have this merch for Baron. I will not believe the Fed Slop who get yourself some mugs and cozy up because tomorrow I will be doing the handoff episode with him. Hopefully just being able to kind of walk through where we are in the case has been so much we've uncovered in a year and I'm hoping that we can just kind of summarize everything and invite you guys to ask questions and also have the discussion that I was hoping for with the Andrew Wilson debate where we can actually go over the evidence and discuss what was problematic about it and what we actually think about Tyler Robinson, what we know, what are the facts? What are the non-facts? Well, I love having an intellectual debate with people that will push back and examine the holes. It makes you smarter. As Charlotte Kirk used to say, iron, sharpens, iron, so I'm excited for tomorrow's episode. We'll see you guys then. [Music]

Key Points:
The Republican messaging ahead of the midterms is criticized as illogical and extreme, especially in its attacks on women and references to sexual abuse cases like Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign.
A controversial ad targeting Amy Akdon, which had her mother falsely accusing her of lying about past abuse, is condemned as deeply inappropriate and exploitative, despite being rooted in real trauma.
Ali Stucky’s religious messaging, particularly her ban on Christians watching horror films or true crime, is seen as a distortion of scripture, fundamentally misrepresenting Christian teachings on courage and confronting evil.
A key observation is the striking visual similarity between a tall figure seen on the rooftop of Losi Center around the time of Charlie Kirk’s death and a person previously identified as Waluigi, raising questions about identity and possible involvement in the incident.
The hosting of Turning Point USA leaders, like Erica Kirk, at K–12 Christian schools is viewed as predatory and disrespectful to parents, especially given the organization’s history of controversy and alleged ties to child abuse.
The un-F America group’s attempt to engage college campuses with free speech debates is contrasted with TPUSA’s growing restriction of questions and controlled events, signaling a loss of authenticity and energy.
Critics argue that both political and religious figures are using fear-based narratives to gain influence, undermining genuine dialogue and faith-based principles.
The episode stresses that real Christianity involves confronting difficult truths, including evil and suffering, rather than avoiding fear or indoctrinating opinions as divine mandates.
Summary:
The podcast offers a critical analysis of Republican messaging leading into the midterms, highlighting its aggressive, fear-driven tactics—especially concerning women and sexual abuse cases like Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign. A deeply troubling ad targeting Amy Akdon, which falsely accused her of lying about childhood abuse, is condemned as exploitative and morally indefensible. The host strongly criticizes Ali Stucky’s religious arguments, particularly her claim that Christians should avoid horror films, calling it a distortion of scripture that misrepresents Christian teachings on courage and facing evil.
A significant point of inquiry involves a tall figure seen on the Losi Center rooftop around the time of Charlie Kirk’s death, which appears visually similar to a previously identified individual named Waluigi, raising speculation about possible connections. The host also expresses deep concern over the increasing presence of Turning Point USA leaders at private Christian schools, describing it as predatory and disrespectful to parents and minors. She contrasts this with TPUSA’s own internal decline, including question screening and limited audience engagement, signaling a loss of authenticity.
The analysis emphasizes that genuine faith and political discourse require confronting difficult truths, not avoiding fear or enforcing simplistic, fear-based narratives. The episode underscores a broader pattern of manipulation—political and religious alike—using trauma, fear, and misinformation to gain influence, ultimately urging listeners to question authority and seek truth over scripted messaging.
FAQs
Parents are concerned about the safety and appropriateness of Erica Kirk, a Turning Point USA leader, speaking to middle and high school students at a private Christian school. The visit was announced via email with limited parental consultation, and some parents question the school's priorities, especially given that it occurred just one year after Charlie Kirk's death and the organization's ongoing safety concerns.
The Republican messaging has been criticized as extreme and inappropriate, including targeting women, making false claims about sexual abuse, and using offensive tactics like an attack ad against Amy Akdon based on her childhood abuse. Critics argue this approach undermines integrity and contradicts principles of free speech and fairness.
Ali Stucky has urged Christians not to watch horror films or true crime content, claiming it contradicts Jesus' command to 'do not fear.' Critics argue she misrepresents scripture, as the Bible often encourages courage in the face of fear, and that such restrictions are unreasonably extreme and not aligned with authentic Christian teaching.
The host notes that a tall figure seen on the rooftop after the Charlie Kirk incident resembles Waluigi in appearance, including height and leg structure. While not confirmed, this similarity has led to speculation that the same individual may be involved in both the rooftop incident and other events, though no definitive evidence has been presented.
Critics argue that Turning Point USA is screening questions and limiting audience participation, which undermines free speech. This has led to concerns that the organization has lost its original energy and is now enforcing a controlled, inorganic environment at events, including those involving minors.
The Un-F America group is seen as gaining ground on college campuses by engaging in debates, despite being a satirical movement. Critics note that their actions contrast with the original free-speech ideals of Turning Point USA, which now appears to suppress dissent and screen questions for compliance.
