We’re Back! And You’ll NEVER GUESS Who I Ran Into In Iceland. | Ep 380

late night bites with friends already hard to beat that first too hot bite of fries you couldn't wait for followed by ice cold pepsi now that hits different suddenly the energy kicks back in the night goes longer and the laughs don't stop because pepsi brings out more flavor more fun and more of the moment food deserves pepsi grab a pepsi zero sugar today all right you guys happy monday i missed you i am back i'm back i can now reveal to you that i actually went up to iceland to do some fishing for my seven year anniversary george and i are really big into fishing and we had this trip to book since i think again last year or something and i have to tell you that i was mildly concerned when i saw rumple silskin known to some people as rabbi schmooly up in iceland as well as ivanka and jared kushner just before we were going to go a couple of weeks ago and i was like oh my god i'm going to go to iceland and i'm going to go to i was worried that maybe ivanka had swam and discovered another island and that rabbi schmooly was going to clear it out for her but all is well that ends well i caught my first salmon on the fly i'll tell you about that feeling very proud of myself well fought well won and ladies and gentlemen while i was away some things were revealed about our government actually still trending right now remember way back when on october 27th of last year when i said this so allow me to be very explicit okay i want war with all of you okay all of you well it turns out that the trump administration heard the call and they took me literally because it was revealed that the department of war has people on payroll that are attacking me for my investigation into charlie kirk's assassination that's weird donald trump and charlie were friends don't they want to know who killed them uh guys if i didn't know any better i would say that the reason they're putting those people on payroll could be because they killed them they killed charlie kirk but i do i know better i am sure that's not the case can you imagine our tax dollars are going toward fighting a propaganda war against me it's absolute madness anyway i have a positive story to share with you about who i ran into in iceland you are not going to believe it it truly is unbelievable but it happened welcome back to candace iceland the land of the vikings my people okay not really i'm kidding my ancestors are not actually from iceland but i had a fantastic time in iceland and i'm going to tell you a story about anyway it was my very first time in the country really we went there because we love to fish there also is a direct flight from nashville who knew and i was especially excited after they effectively chased rabbi shmuley out weeks earlier shout out to that individual who was like get out of our country peace um now why was i there like i told you at the top each and every pregnancy actually george and i take a little fishing excursion it's just our thing today is actually our seven year anniversary so it was in fact a special occasion made even more special for a couple of reasons first and foremost like i said i caught my very first atlantic salmon on the fly if you are a fisher woman or fisherman you know that is a big deal okay i'm going to show you here she is this picture it was a big one really big one i was so i was jumping up and down couldn't believe that i had done it i should also add here that there is this islantic tradition that goes along with that accomplishment i learned about that at dinner wherein they take the fin of the fish for your first catch on the fly and they make you swallow it in a shot glass so i partook in this viking culture i'm very proud of myself now for expectant mothers i will tell you that i don't know what is in those salmon fins up in iceland but my unborn child proceeded to kick for about 24 hours thereafter like he was at a rave party it was unrelenting take from that what you will maybe i will now give birth to a viking who knows but actually the best part of the trip was the company so george and i went and met up with our friends john and arena mappen now those names may be familiar to you now i've told you guys the story a few times but i met my husband rather serendipitously at an event hosted in london i was with charlie the event was hosted by john and arena back in 2018 and me and charlie were on stage george did not know them he had never met them he heard that charlie and i were coming to town and he phoned them up because his friend who was supposed to go to the event was like i can't go do you want to go see if john will allow you to go and he said george was heavily involved in brexit at that time so he was politically inclined and he wanted to come hear me and charlie speak so he called them up and said can i come they said yes and the rest is future now to jog your memory beyond that john and arena have been some of among the most vociferous i should say supporters from the very beginning of the charlie kirk investigation my investigation and it should be known that they were close to charlie they helped to bring charlie and turning point usa to the next level by making introductions for charlie that i would say launched the organization into a different stratosphere financially they made those intros they also know or knew i guess erica kirk very well i don't know how much they keep in touch with her now but in fact the four of them went to israel charlie and erica and john and arena went to israel they were invited by them to go they also know mikey mccoy very well they adore mikey actually and anyway i'm saying all that just to express that they played an extremely significant role in keeping me sane following charlie's assassination because they knew the players and they were not biased one way or the other upon reflection i i believe that there was a very obvious and intentional effort to drive me to the point of insanity to uh bring me to the point that britney spears was in back in 2007 when she just shaved her head off because she was reaching this moment where the constant this vicious headlines the media cycle was driving her mad and let me get murdered and then watch the people that she thought were his friends lie about what he believed who his friends were uh then attempt to gaslight me into believing that i wasn't actually friends with him no ben was actually friends with him you weren't you secretly hated him or depending on what week it was you secretly loved him you secretly wanted him well john and arena were the only people who were around charlie were a presence in his life and he was a person who was a part of his life who were astute enough to recognize in that moment what john described to me was a black propaganda campaign and he said this is psychological and i don't know why this campaign is happening to you but it is happening to you they obviously knew me and charlie's friendship and they dared to openly question the narrative meaning donors have come to me in private and spoken about what they believe to be weird but they were exceptional in the fact that they were authoring pieces questioning the narrative openly and they were also offering pieces questioning the narrative openly and they were also offering pieces questioning the narrative openly and they really asserting what was at stake with this assassination this investigation you guys might recall specifically a piece that they published on october 6th because i read it on my show in its entirety which touched a lot of people worldwide we were flooded with emails the piece was entitled candace owens charlie kirk and the pursuit of truth and in part they wrote this i'm going to just reread this little part it says quote charlie's execution is an assassin is an assassin with potentially far-reaching political consequences for america and the world what we have seen so far beggar's belief a crime scene apparently completely destroyed in days and plenty of evidence that simply does not seem to add up this investigation and the truthful answer as to who was really responsible for deciding that charlie would be executed in front of the world will affect america's future its collective soul and conscience forever the truth when known and we believe it will be known will have an impact on the future of america's future and the future of america will have far-reaching international consequences the very idea that someone could be convicted and could receive the death penalty when there remains even the slightest shadow of a doubt or a shred of uncertainty that they may not be guilty of that crime and that christian souls would tolerate that possibility is anathema to all the teachings of christ and quote so powerful to reflect on and to reread you should reread it in its entirety and i remember when i received those words i was extremely shocked and i was like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry and it meant so much to me their words gave me the strength to keep going to get up to keep fighting i'm obviously not in that fragile state anymore and it is in large part thanks to their friendship to the people that i didn't know around the world and it's really been my experience that uh when i am with them i have not i could probably count on one hand how many times i've seen john arena obviously because the distance how we met uh the strange circumstance of me telling charlie we need to go to the uk and i'm like oh my god i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i'm so sorry okay just find someone who will put together an event all of this happening by the way in the same few weeks that Erica first lays eyes on Charlie. Charlie's having dreams about his death. It was a crazy time, May of 2018, to think that I was like, I need to go to the UK. That's the dream that I was having. And Charlie's having dreams about his death. And then we both meet who will become our significant other. It's something to reflect on. And I will say that in the few times that I have actually physically been able to see John in Arena, I always find that something beyond chance occurs. Something just always seems to manifest. You go, how could this have possibly happened? Like meeting my husband, who I literally, I see them rarely, but I met my husband, who did not know them. He did not know me. And it was this chance night with Charlie Kirk, then followed by an 18-day engagement that people still do not accept. Anyway, on the morning of our departure from the fishing lodge, I was sitting in the breakfast area with Arena. And for the first time, really expressing and truly thanking her and John for their friendship during what has been clearly the most difficult year of my life. And we're coming up now to the one-year anniversary of Charlie's death. I'm reflecting on that. For the majority of this past year, I can now appreciate that I was just in survival mode. So researching, it felt like the only thing I could do, the only way that I could get control of the situation was to explore every single thing that happened on that day. And during that time, I could not even bring myself to thank them for their unwavering support. Because I was so fragile that even uttering the words, thank you for your support, would have meant sort of acknowledging the state of pain that I was in. I don't know if that makes sense, but I was just, I need to put one foot in front of the other and survive and not acknowledge the fact that I'm surviving. Iceland allowed me an opportunity to sort of reflect on what and who it was that sustained me through that critical time. And you guys get it. I mean, when people are going through it, really going through it, they just have to try to breathe, keep going. And on the other side of that is people who are giving aren't even looking for a thank you. That's what I realized. Speaking of John and Irina, like they were at no point were they going like, is Candace going to thank us? To them, it just made sense. They're just doing the right thing. They're telling the truth. They don't even consider that they're saving a life, so to speak. Anyway, I finished this conversation with Irina and then me and John, and me and George get into the car and we begin to head back to the airport. And it's about a two hour drive from the lodge to the airport. And we're in this deep conversation about how grateful we are for having made it through the year. Honestly, the last two years have been kind of crazy. And we're thinking about all of the people. I'm even speaking about the emails that we received that sustained me. People like you back at home, you will never know how many of your emails I never responded to, but I read the prayers that were sent, that I read, I received, and they comforted me. And now I feel sort of nursed back to myself. Fast forward, me and George are sitting down at the airport after having reflected this whole morning of gratitude. And we're waiting to board our flight back home. And George gets up first and he gets into line and tells me, you just keep sitting until the last second because I didn't want to be standing unnecessarily with my luggage because I'm fat and I'm pregnant. I'm tired. And he can stand better during this time. Finally, he calls my name. Because they're about to begin the boarding process. I get up, I get into line and I'm standing directly behind a woman. And as soon as I see her face, I'm like, oh, I know her. And I instantly start doing that thing, like going, scanning the face index in my mind, thinking first that she was a retired model. I'm like, is this like a Gisele Bundchen type character? She's very pretty, no makeup on. And I kid you not, as soon as it clicks for me who she is and her jaw hits the floor, and my jaw hits the floor, and I look up, I see her husband. Ladies and gentlemen, in Iceland, I got in line behind Justin Baldoni, my literal, actual, long lost cousin. Look at this. I could not even believe this. Look at this picture. This is crazy, okay? Crazy. You could not make this up. I actually wish that I was a mathematician so that I could work out the impossible odds of this occurring, okay? It's a weekday. We are in a country of only 400,000 people. Okay, Justin himself was not visiting Iceland. Okay, turns out he was on a layover from Sweden. That's where his wife is from. That's why she's so pretty. And he's there with their two children. It's not a traditional holiday week or vacation week. So it's not like we're running into a bunch of people. It's just, it's not like people are traveling worldwide. My husband and I, we were just, we were all just astonished. Beyond belief, how could this be happening in this country? And you have to remember, I've never met Justin. I've never spoken to him or his wife. I've never even tried to reach out to them even once. Like truly, I got involved in the case because I just couldn't believe what I was reading when I went through a lawsuit. I just had a suspicion. The perfect lunch combo. That first bite of your favorite sub followed by ice cold Pepsi. Add a couple of friends and now that's next level. Suddenly, the last bite of your favorite sub laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing and the food tastes better because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. And I'll be frank with you guys because way back when I was interning for Glamour Magazine, Blake Lively had the, she had the front cover and the person that I was working for worked on the shoot and she said Blake Lively was awful. It was like her least favorite person to work with. So I wasn't passing. It wasn't passing the sniff test. And when I read through the documents of what was happening in that lawsuit, I was just astonished. And I have to tell you this, even now because we have so much has happened since the Blake and Justin lawsuit, I had to remind myself of the absurdity of that case, right? You have this man who read a book series, loved it, truly appreciated the work of the author, bought it with her, purchased the rights to create a film about the books using his movie studio. This is like a passion project to him that he wants to do for women who have been in domestic violence relationships. He then casts a woman who he is a fan of as the lead character, Blake Lively, an A-lister by proxy, by proxy, meaning her best friend happens to be the most famous person in the world, ex-best friend, Taylor Swift. Her husband is Ryan Reynolds, who is apparently the best friend in the world. He's apparently a routine psychopath who has been cosplaying a superhero throughout the Marvel movies. And what happens next? They just decide that they want to take his movie, that it's their right to have it because they are them and they're shinier and or something, A-listier or something. And then we learned throughout our investigative series that despite being cast as the main character, Blake Lively sort of in her own head fancied herself as the writer. She sought to sort of edit the scripts, the, and they had the media power to do it. Like the New York Times just drops a hit piece and they're like, we will just, me too you. We'll ruin your whole life or you're going to hand over the rights to this movie. And she want, that's what she wanted. And it's difficult to comprehend that level of narcissism when you go backward in your mind. And I'm now so reminded of the more hysterical aspects of a lawsuit, like Blake's implicit threat when she got started. Taylor Swift is there. If she doesn't get what she wants, she's going to release her dragons. Like Taylor's one. One of her dragons. If you ever get around to watching Game of Thrones, I'm Khaleesi. I have a few dragons. It's so crazy. It's so crazy. We're all going to benefit from these gorgeous little monsters of mine. So loony, dude. It was so crazy what this woman did to him. Also, please don't forget, in her filing, in her CCRD filing, because first she filed that civil complaint, she even accused Justin's business partner, Jamie Heath, of showing her pornography on his phone. Like she looked and a woman's legs were open. And she said, to add insult to injury, this is from the filing, to add insult to injury, Mr. Heath approached Miss Lively and her assistant on set and started playing a video of a fully nude woman with her legs spread apart. Miss Lively thought that he was showing her pornography and stopped him. And these were like the parts that were pulled by the camera. And then, of course, we learn later on in this filing that it was actually a birthing video. He showed her a birthing video because Blake was preparing to do a birthing scene. They thought that it might be helpful. Like no one ever watched a woman give birth and thought this is pornography. It's just so nutty to reflect on. And them making Justin Baldoni sit in the basement during the premiere of his own movie because Blake said so and she didn't want to see it. And they made the best of it. And it really wasn't that great to be next to bottled Dasani water. It's not even good water. It's disgusting water. They couldn't even give them good water to sit in the basement with. And he just did it. And he had so much class. I also was reflecting with my team on Ryan Reynolds then reshooting the scenes of Deadpool, incorporating a character that was supposed to be Justin Baldoni called Nice Pool and then having him overkilled in the scene. Remember? poured hundreds of bullets into his back. And it just kept going and going and going. And then like the character's head explodes. Totally crazy. And again, just full-blown A-list power. This is how it's going to go, like a mafia of sorts ruining this man's life or attempting to ruin this man's life. Anyway, you'll probably want to know what was said. And I want to tell you the most important aspects because there were just so many people who were giving themselves to this case, going through the filings. There was no upside other than this is wrong and we should do something. Steph with the deets, Marcos of the Be Better Company, people who sank into every filing on their own time because we all just sensed that it mattered. And what was so beautiful about this moment, which again, I kind of forgot about for a long time because the Charlie Kirk assassination happened and I was obviously compelled a different way, but it was kind of the first fracturing of this sort of left versus right thing. And after I had just poured all of this gratitude into Arena and seeing Justin and his wife, and they were just explaining to me just how grateful they were, like how close they were to hitting rock bottom. And the same exact feeling that I felt when I received the letter from John and Arena, the public letter that they wrote, they were just in a state. And then people started making videos on the internet and actually reading the paperwork and investigating this. And they didn't understand what was going on. And so I was like, okay, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. And they didn't understand why this was happening. They didn't know what had motivated good people to stand up and to do something. And he was interested in that, asking me what motivated me. And truly, I told him, I just remember that Blake Lively was awful and I wasn't buying this victim act. And I've been following Taylor Swift and I know how she moves. And I knew that friendship was going to be over. And when I got into it, I just couldn't look away. And so I was just being and I had mentioned to him how disturbed I was by the Deadpool scene. And he told me he never even watched the Deadpool movie or the scene, which makes sense because when you're in that sort of a mode and like in a survival mode, you're not going to do that. You're not going to like engage in things that are just going to be even worse. And we just discussed how much he learned and how much he grew and how much he challenged himself. And he's still so nice, guys. He's like, my husband just goes, he's so nice. I'm like, yeah, that's why I had to like watch him. And he's like, yeah, my pregnant, I just go down to the playground and stand up for my cousin because I was like, this is not happening on my watch. I'm not that nice when I get pregnant with a boy and I'm at the end of pregnancy, which I was when this was all going down. You remember I was pregnant with Roman and it was a boy and I was just, it was like, it couldn't happen. I just had to fight somebody. And he was just so sweet, so kind, so grateful. His wife is like, I just did not need to see someone that pretty without makeup when I'm this fat and pregnant. Like, they were, the way that I would describe them, they radiate goodness. That's a very strange thing to say. And I mean this truly. They radiate goodness. Like they had nothing bad to say about anybody. They were just so grateful and they wished that they could just go out and thank every single person who just stood up for them and just not even stood up for them, just told the truth. There's not, there's not really standing up for people when you're just telling the truth, you know, and that's how it feels. And, it was just this amazing thing to happen where I was going, I wish I could reach out to all of you guys and thank you for this past year. And then I have these people reminding me that sometimes we are the, we are that person who's helping somebody and we don't even think of it that way. He did tell me one thing that was really disturbing and I have to share it. He doesn't actually drink kombucha. He's not a big kombucha drinker. So I kind of wrote this little piece of fan fiction and I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I will not accept it. I feel like he will forever be a kombucha drinker in our minds. And he's fine with the fact that he owns me kombucha, but he's a kombucha drinker. That is, we have written that into the history of this case. Justin Baldoni loves kombucha. He drinks it every single day. I would not accept that bit of truth in this story. Anyway, the point that I wanted to make to you guys about what felt like this almost divine meeting in Iceland is my takeaway from it was all of this noise was happening in the background. I didn't really care about things that were trending and people that were, you know, have are being sent. And there's so much to discuss in terms of the Department of War and what's going on. But what it really demonstrated to me was just this reminder that we can win, like we can win even when the odds seem insurmountable, when people claim that they have dragons. And in many ways, that really was the lesson for me and all of this and all of us in the Justin case. He was up against an established power. I mean, it was in New York Times. It was double the power. It was double WME. It was the most powerful PR people in the world, the most famous woman in the world who was, I guess, a part of this peer pressure campaign or not, according to her version. Who knows who's telling the truth? Blake Taylor. But what was done to him was positively cruel and it was done out of sports. The truth was enough to fix it. The Baldoni case sort of represented that first blow to the left right paradigm. And suddenly it seemed like there was something more evil that needed to be addressed. And our political skirmishes would have to sort of wait. We all just sort of went, wait a minute. Did someone just kick a puppy in the mouth for no reason? That's what that was what that case was. Kicking a puppy in the mouth for no reason because you can and you can't get in trouble because you're very powerful. And we agreed that it wasn't OK. And we all teamed up and we were relentless, really completely relentless in what John and Arena describe as the pursuit of truth. I just I wanted to leave you with that positive message today. It felt like the end of that case. It just all came together. I've just been in such a positive mood lately. I want to leave you guys with that biblical reminder that David won against Goliath. David won with a sling and some stones and insurmountable odds. He took down a giant. And I feel in that way about the Charlie Kirk case. We'll be right back after a break. All right, you guys, I want to pass along a heartfelt thank you for my friends over at Preborn. Their president, Dan Steiner, asked me to thank him. And I'm so grateful they are for faithful supporters like you. So far this year, because of generous partners, more than 50,000 babies have been saved from abortion. That means 50,000 lives changed and generations have been impacted. Every tax deductible gift is used to rescue babies and share the hope of Jesus Christ with their mothers. In fact, this year alone, more than 8000 women have made decisions to follow Christ, all because someone like you helped to provide a free ultrasound. It costs just twenty eight dollars to provide one life saving ultrasound and fifteen thousand dollars can place an ultrasound machine in a pregnancy clinic. It can save countless lives for years to come. Dan's message is simple. Thank you all. Your generosity is saving lives for both earth and eternity. And today there are still mothers waiting for that same life changing moment. If you'd like to give dial pound two five zero and say the keyword baby again, that's pound two fifty baby or visit preborn dot com slash Candace. Again, that's preborn dot com slash Candace. I also want to tell you guys about first hour, because as a mother, one of the things that I think about all the time is what if something happens and I'm not actually prepared to do it? I'm not actually prepared to do it. I'm not actually prepared for it because when an emergency does happen, those first few minutes are critical. That's the first hour and you've either prepared for it or you have not. I used to think that having a first aid kit meant having some band aids and gauze in the cabinet. The first hour is different because these trauma kits have, among other things, items that you need to help stop severe bleeding, like a tourniquet, chest seal, pressure bandages and more. You don't need to be a medical professional to use them. The instructions are printed directly on every item. I think every family should have one close by in the car, in the house or at work because you just never know where you'll be when something happens. It's better to have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. First hour is trusted by EMTs, ER nurses, military and veterans, and now you can get 60% off. As a viewer of my show today, no coupon needed. Just scan the QR code on the screen and visit firsthour.com. That's firsthour.com. So we are all recognizing right now that there are a ton of chaos agents that have suddenly been put into the Twitterverse to distract, to pull people away, truly from the investigation. I want you guys to know that. Stay focused, okay? The Andrew Wilsons, you should probably just ignore of the world. They know nothing. We don't know how they're getting paid or where their money is coming from. But we had suggested this, that this looks like a very well-funded campaign. I almost would say it looks like a military campaign, like a psychological operation. Well, a funny thing happened while I was away. I learned. The Pentagon is apparently at war with me. Now, you will remember, particularly during the week of Tyler Robbins' preliminary hearing, I was in Spain, okay? I took two weeks off for the summer, and yet there was a full-blown media assault that was executed against me on behalf of Turning Point USA, actually in particular on behalf of Erica. A new narrative had dropped. You would have thought that I was on trial and not Tyler Robinson, that I was on trial for murder, for having investigated Charlie's assassination. They were like, that is akin to getting Erica Kirk killed. It began with that absurd NCRI-issued report. It's just a team of Zionists. You got to see NCRI led by none other than Andrew Colbett's former partner of a PR firm, Cairo's company. And they called that report permission to kill and referred to me as a digital assassin. You can't get over how insanely precise the timing of that was. The person that they're claiming, assassinated Charlie Kirk goes on trial. They drop this article saying, this report on the first day. And then we have this report being mysteriously expanded upon by a woman named Jennica Pounds, okay? Known online as Data Republican. So let me tell you about Jennica first before I tell you how we learned that the Pentagon is behind this. Jennica Pounds is a Utah software engineer who really, and I just want to focus on this picture of her actually for a second, because I would like to assert that this could be the person coming up the staircase at UVU. This, she could look like, if she put her hair in a ponytail and put on a hat and put those glasses down, I would be just as convinced. Like I said, just a standard Caucasian person, put a hat on her, we have the person walking up the steps at UVU. Anyway, she kind of gets a little jet fuel because Elon Musk promotes her in 2025, Data Republican on X. She created a, we're supposed to think that she's some wizard. I feel like all these people are just, you know, being programmed by the government. She's some data wizard. And she's looking at government spending and Elon Musk is like, this is our girl. She's telling us where all the money's going. And lo and behold, we have Jennica Pounds, Data Republican has kind of hit the map. Anyway, she jumps in after this report is released and immediately does a threat. And she does a threat. And a threat that is boosted by Andrew Kovac. Let's show her thread first, just so you can see how absurd this was. Like, okay, you're doing data. How are you doing data on me being a digital assassin? She basically says the report is basically saying the report is legitimate. Let me show you how Candace targets her audience and Erica's authority. It's crazy. Here is Candace and her audience in their own words. And then she's going to start showing random people on the internet. And these people could, by the way, work for the Pentagon. So when people are threatening Erica on the internet, it's totally plausible that they are going to do that. And they actually are working on behalf of the Pentagon so that they can have the data that they can then expand upon. So you can see how long this thread is, how deep she went into the 30-06 stuff. And she's speaking about how I work on people and eventually people are going to wake up one day and want to kill Erica. That's kind, that was the narrative that was seeded, instantly retweeted by Andrew Kovac, which we'll just think he has nothing to do with this, right? Of course he does. Wow. He writes, thank you, Data Republican, for doing this. This thread exposed how Candace and her ilk have created the requisite permission structure for some lunatic to try and kill Erica. They're accusing me of murdering Erica for investigating her husband's murder. This is beyond, okay? So beyond that, in this very same day, oh, actually three days later, Bill Ackman promotes Data Republican, an important read on Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens. I bet, I bet. You're always a little too close to the situation, Bill. What is it about the Charlie Kirk assassination that just keeps bringing you out of the woodwork? It's something. Bill Ackman, you're a billionaire. What are you, why are you retweeting Data Republican and what everybody is registering as bizarre propaganda that's meant to essentially say that investigating the investigation is what's wrong? People saw right through this, okay? Well, Data Republican looks to be mildly unstable, and it turns out that she is. And she accidentally revealed that she got very paranoid. She was working on a piece, and the State Department was leaking to her. A woman named Sarah Rogers, who is the undersecretary and works in the State Department, was leaking to her. Sarah Rogers gave her something, and Data Republican, Jenica Pounds, got paranoid about it, okay? And she thought that she was being set up, that they were leaking her piece. And she thought that she was being set up, that they could charge her with a crime. So she then reveals that Sarah Rogers is leaking to her. And Sarah Rogers just happens to be besties with Blake Neff, okay? So let me show you Sarah Rogers and Blake Neff, the picture of them. Blake Neff gets into the foray. So now we realize that Turning Point USA is working with the State Department, okay? This is him just writing about their friendship. My friend Sarah Rogers is one of Charlie's favorite Trump nominees. She was sworn in last Friday as the undersecretary for public diplomacy at the State Department. Her chief goal will be promoting free speech around the world. So this trash bag, Sarah, was leaking to Data Republican, and she got, Data Republican got, like, paranoid and then outed the fact that she was doing it. And then she couldn't put the genie back in the bottle. And then she admits that Data Republican admits, Jenica Pounds admits, that she's working for the Department of War. She's been working for the Pentagon since July. The very week that they came after me, she was working as a special government employee. She wrote, I began working as a special government employee for the Department of War in July to serve the country in a more hands-on way. And what she means is to serve the Department of War in propagandizing Americans not to look into Charlie Kirk's assassination. That's what she means. That's what she's saying, but this is what she means. She writes, I began working just to have press credentials there, and I did not seek to renew those credentials. I currently am not a member of the Pentagon press corps and no longer attend briefings or events as a journalist because she is a Pentagon special government employee. And this all came out because she had a little freakout and thought that she was being set up. By the way, not particularly a freakout given how duplicitous these people are. If you're dealing with anybody with Blake Neff, I'd be paranoid too. You probably did the right thing, Jenica Pounds, by outing yourself. As a positive, absolute scumbag and dishonest human being who was not, were not attacking me because you were looking at the data. Apparently she also set up an institute for herself. So somebody should look into who's funding her. I'd make a guess that Bill Ackman maybe is cutting a check somewhere somehow in the background of this. And she gets this special employee benefit and instantly comes from me and is a part of, part and partial of people that are trying to push this narrative, which we now know is being backed by the State Department. The Department of War, Blake Neff and Andrew Colvett allies. So the question remains, why? Why is the investigation into who killed Charlie Kirk something that the State Department and the Department of War would be interested in controlling the narrative on if they were all friends of Charlie? Wouldn't they be joining us and trying to help us and not launching propaganda wars against us with made up data reports that reflect nothing other than the fact that anybody will sell their soul to get next to power? As Jenica Pounds did. Jenica Pounds is based in Utah. Where was Jenica Pounds on September 10th? I find, where's the positive evidence? This is what they're doing. They are accusing us of exactly what they are doing, right? They are putting a target on my back while accusing me of putting a target on Erica's back. And it's the Department of War. That is so incredibly sinister, but it's important for us to know what we are up against. And I want to be clear. We'll win. I said I want a war with all of you. I didn't expect it to be the literal Department of War. But I'm up for the challenge. Because like I said, from the moment that Charlie was shot, I knew that he was betrayed, but I also knew that the people who betrayed him wouldn't get away with it. And the more that stuff like this comes out, the less likely it is that you're going to get away with it. And I have explosive things to reveal to you for the rest of the week, which is going to reveal that Turning Point USA has some explaining. to do. Everybody's alibis are in. Can't change them now, right? You can't change them now. You can't go back. Or you could, the story is just going to have to get more ridiculous. It's going to get fun because the story of September 10th is going to have to just get so much more ridiculous until, I don't know, you guys are crushed by the weight of your own lies and inconsistencies. I don't know. Anyway, something that was pretty funny was TPUSA announced their new lineup, their new tour, which sounds like a Jennifer Lopez 2000 song. It's called Love It or Leave It. I'd like to leave it. Thank you. And it is basically the Daily Wire. That's what's happening. I mean, there are some older names, Michael Knowles, obviously, Brandon Tatum. They have traditionally toured with Turning Point USA. Beyond that, we're kind of getting the Chihuahua, Alex Clark and Ben Shapiro. Now we know why they were trying to hard explain to us that Ben Shapiro was friends with Charlie. He wants the company. He's like, I, I, mine has failed. That one looks pretty. I'm a parasite. I'd like to be here. He wants to pick up that bloody mic and he, by golly, he's going to do it. They're also trying to launch this like obscure weirdo, Matt Nuclear, who works for the Daily Wire and has just been a tragic mistake of a hire. First and foremost, because if you didn't look into it, he got caught. He's like one of these people that has struck up a real relationship with Claude and ChatGPT. Like asks him, hey, what do you think about me? Do you like my shirt, Claude? Do you think that like I'm well? It's like the movie Her. Something weird about that kid. Also, allegedly, I'll say allegedly. But there's a whole news article you can look up about his arrest back in Florida. I think it was how many years ago was it? His arrest in Florida for threatening to making terroristic threats against a daycare. Now he's on tour with Turning Point USA. because he's going to be a debater. are just really scraping the bottom of the barrel. This company is over. I'm just going to be frank with you. Erica Kirk, to me, I describe her, when she speaks, I feel like my soul is being sucked. She is a dementor that should be guarding Azkaban, okay? Every time she speaks, I just feel depressed. I do. She says like this, and I'm like, oh my gosh, I just feel like a prisoner in Azkaban, and my soul is being sucked. She can't lead this company. She doesn't have the spark. She doesn't have the intelligence. She doesn't even have the emotional intelligence, right? Forget IQ. She doesn't have the EQ to run this company. It is being run into the ground. People are rightfully outraged that they would partner with his enemies. Who even cares at this point? We get it. They are his enemies. Everyone knows what Turning Point USA is and what these people are, and unfortunately, what's going to happen now is an organization is going to rise, take its place, but I do think that's the way it's going to be. That's what Charlie would have wanted. I do, and it's a strange thing to think that, but what is not authentic and what it has become, what it is pushing, it's to push against the ideas that Charlie himself expressed, what he believes in, the idea of partnering with the Department of War to propagandize Americans rather than winning the debate honestly because you told the truth and you had the better idea. Who cares? Who cares about what happens at Turning And Ben Shapiro, have it, have at it. You will have no influence because you already have no influence. That's the reason you wanted it because you thought you could just take it over and wear it like a skin suit. You guys are so gross. But like I said, what it's meant to be will be and be happy we are winning. David won. That's the point, right? David won against Goliath. All right, you guys, do you owe back taxes? Do you have years of unfiled returns? Maybe you file every year and still can't get ahead because the balance keeps growing. Maybe you withdrew money from a 401k or an IRA and suddenly got hit with a tax bill that you never expected. Whatever caused the problem, one thing is certain, the IRS penalties and interest keep adding up every single month. And if you don't have a plan now, you could end up owing even more next tax season. Before the IRS starts sending more letters, garnishing wages, or freezing your bank account, you should call Tax Network USA. They've been helping taxpayers nationwide for more than 15 years, resolving back taxes, unfiled returns, and serious IRS problems. So whether you owe $10,000 or $10 million, their team has resolved over $1 billion in tax debt. Right now, they're offering a free IRS investigative call to find out exactly what you owe and what options you have to fix it. So call 866-686-1651 or visit tnusa.com slash Candace. Again, that's tnusa.com slash Candace. I also want to remind you guys about American financing because everyday expenses keep climbing and high credit card, interest isn't making life any easier. If your budget is feeling squeezed lately, there's a smarter way to take back control. If you're a homeowner, your home equity is your best financial tool. American financing can help you consolidate high interest credit card debts so that you have some breathing room. And the timing matters now more than ever. With a strong chance of an interest rate hike this September, waiting could cost you thousands. And with rates in the fives, there is no better time to find out how much you could be saving. So ditch those 20% interest rates by consolidating. You can slash your monthly obligations. In fact, American financing borrowers, save an average of $800 a month. Imagine what that kind of cashflow could do for your family. There are zero upfront fees and you may even delay up to two mortgage payments. So lock in your lower rate before September, call 800-795-1210. Again, that's 800-795-1210 or visit americanfinancing.net slash Owens. Again, that's americanfinancing.net slash Owens. I also want to remind you guys that we told you about the email, which was from the Department of War, calling Erica an emotional asset the night of the fake Trump number three or four or five, six shooting that happened during the White House Correspondents' Dinner. And we have basically just been getting just steel-walled, I'm going to say. It was like brick walls been put up between us at these FOIA requests that we're filing and they keep only saying, it didn't come from this department. Okay, we are asking you if this email is real. This is not hard to answer yes or no. We have to keep filing. But this just further proves our point. It has been the Department of War that has been behind Erica. And she thinks that she's going to win by just having sheer power behind her. And that's just not going to be the circumstance. She's, in fact, in many ways, she's already lost because she had that perspective. As soon as you get in your head that you're too big to fail and you don't have to come down, you view yourself as some sort of a queen that has too many people in your Rolodex that are going to back you up, you lose, you lose. Charlie was very much a person who got down in the trenches and connected with people. But he also told the truth. And Erica seems, is unwilling to do that. Andrew Colvett seems unwilling to do that. And Blake Neff is the least believable person in the world. So glad to know that you guys think that having the State Department and the Department of War behind you is going to win the game. And billionaires like Bill Ackman who are willing to promote your nonsense. But we see right through all of it. Top comments from last episode before we went off air. Big Hair Do Care wrote, the way she drops these bombs and then goes on vacation. Get excited because this week we have a lot of bombs and we will not be going right on vacation. But we are in the countdown. Before I go on maternity leave. Well, you've got me for the next six weeks. DM Uncut wrote, I just know they're at home. Like, where is she getting these videos from? I've been telling you guys, man, the Holy Spirit has been on the move. People have been encouraged for a while to be brave. Even like I said, at a point when I was very weak and we have been going backward in the investigation, looking back at everything. And braveness inspires other people to be brave. This is something that I have really found out throughout this investigation. So if you do have another piece of the puzzle, please do email us, moretipsatcanisowens.com. We've been interested in a lot of different angles. Maybe you work inside the State Department and would like to tell us some stuff. Whistleblower, I don't know how it works. Please do email us. Yeah, we're closing in though. I feel confident in what we have this week. It's going to be a bad week and you're not going to distract me with nonsense from Andrew Wilson. We see you guys. I love that. I love that. I love that they're using him as their dog though, as their attack dog though, because it just further reveals to parents what this organization is. Like, why would you want this organ, to have your children working for an organization that purports to be Christian while using attack dogs throughout government and now scraping the bottom of the barrel with people that are more suited to be on reruns of Jerry Springer? That's just, it's not going to work. Everyone can perceive this fraud. And then you're going to get up there and go, the Lord, the Lord, the Lord. But it's not going to work. You're going to have to say it like you're a dementor and we don't know who the Lord is and it might be Voldemort. Like, that's scary for a lot of people. It feels like a scary movie. Yeah. Anyway, comments from today's episode. Let me scroll down and see what is on your mind today. Suddenly the laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing and the food tastes better. Because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. True Detective writes, my heart breaks for Charlie knowing what he discovered during his last days that something demonic had infiltrated his inner circle. I agree with you. That a dark force written about in ancient texts had actually manifested in his life. Now that he was a prominent voice in politics, my heart finds peace knowing that he told evil no. Matthew 16, 25. I totally agree with you. That was the heartbreak of it. We just know that he knew in the end. And I can't imagine what that squeeze felt like. And to know that he had texted multiple people on September 9th saying that he wanted me back. They will never tell the truth about that. I know for a fact it's true. And he, yeah, I knew he would come to on what was happening to his organization. I saw it a little earlier than he did, but he got there not far after me. I mean, that was the whole basis of the last year of discussions that we had since October 7th. And moving forward, I think he started to see those people in a different way, how radical they were and how unrelenting they would be to destroy anyone who didn't go along with the narrative. Natty Nicole writes that picture with Justin Baldoni. God is so good. I love being on the winning side. I can't get over it. And I just want you guys to know he just, exactly what we thought he was when we were just going through his Instagram. And I was just getting angrier at how nice he was. And then when we, read his messages and every time Blake was so mean and Justin was just nice and it was so frustrating because I was so pregnant and I was like, no, this is not what you say to someone that's trying to take your movie. He is just so nice. We took the right side in that and we all deserve to just acknowledge that, you know, we stood up for truth. We just shared the truth. Like I said, not even standing up. I mean, wouldn't let it go. And we just, we're not here to watch a puppy get kicked in the mouth. We just got to come together when we see puppies getting kicked in the mouth, right? Okay. Damn you, Jen. Damn you, Jen, maybe? I hope I'm saying that right. David's real test wasn't Goliath. It was Saul, his own king, his own government. That is your challenge. So well said. I'm up for the challenge because I got you guys. You guys are the homies. You've helped me. And again, I will never get over expressing my gratitude. And I will never have the words to tell you what it meant to be at such a low moment and to really need to rely on honestly, perfect strangers to give me the push. The other content creators who got involved and investigated it, who didn't know Charlie, even people who didn't like Charlie, who showed more respect to his legacy than the people that he worked with every single day, who lie, just lie. Tucker Carlson is not slated to speak. Ben Shapiro is. There's something so sick about it, but it's now laughably sick, where you can just go, okay, this is all fake. The whole thing is that you're going to get a bunch of yaff people to come in, pay them to come hear him speak, to pretend like you've taken over the youth movement. I mean, it's just, you should laugh at it. In that regard, we already won. Again, not referencing everybody that's on that list. Like I said, Brandon Tatum has been speaking for them for a very long time, as has Michael Knowles, but it is hard to see, to look at the rest. Alaska Dog Lady writes, when I think I can't, I love you anymore. Fisherwoman to Fisherwoman, congratulations. And next year, might I suggest silver salmon in Alaska? It's the season. I did do silver salmon, not in Alaska, in British Columbia. There was a picture that I think I showed you guys of me and Charlie holding that massive salmon. I did very well, actually. I won the weekend for the heaviest salmon. It was 38 pounds. I don't think I had the most, but I did have the heaviest salmon, and I had the heaviest halibut as well, which was 200 pounds. Too big to put in the boat, which was fantastic. I do love fishing. Is there something about being on the water, that naturally relaxes you and allows for reflection? Please be real, I feel like we are seeing your face as you looked on your wedding day, glowing and radiant. Thanks for easing back in with your positive energy and good vibes. We missed you. Christ is king, and to keep going, Max. Thank you. I'm not really glowing. I'm kind of sweating, actually, when we went on to that last break. I was like, can someone turn the air up? I'm having a pregnancy hot flash. But if it looks like I'm glowing, I'll go with that. Tell me I'm glowing. Okay, I'm glowing, not sweating. It's beautiful.
