Candace Owens examines the viral "camera gate" footage of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, where two men moved his chair and removed a camera without visible blood—contradicting claims of an exit wound. She questions federal transparency, alleges intelligence ties to Caldera Engineering (Provo, Utah), and links Turning Point USA donors to suspicious activity before the attack. Owens ties Pam Bondi’s push for hate speech laws and FCC threats against networks to broader free-speech overreach, accusing pro-Israel forces of platform control while promoting GNOLAN as an alternative. Frustrated by smears like Eric Bolling’s, she urges independent tips at CandaceOwens.com, framing the case as a government-level conspiracy. [Automatically generated summary]
They are definitely insisting that we stop investigating this.
unidentified
I should at first let you know that the Senate has voted and they have passed a bipartisan resolution to designate October 14th, which is Charlie's birthday, as Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day.
And I have to say that is a very government maneuver.
And I wanna say this: shout out to all of the internet sleuths, the TikTokers, the YouTubers, those of you who are not playing around and you noticed this because I did not in the beginning.
But yes, as I said, there's an individual who is at first in the moment just after the shooting, he's like up on the rocks near the car that Charlie gets taken away in while he's being carried away.
Let's take a look at that for that footage actually first.
And then you can see he kind of sits the camera onto the desk and it looks like he removes the SIM card from it or the SD card, if you will, which we're watching right here.
unidentified
So I'm going, I'm going when I saw this footage.
Who is that?
Like, actually, I should be able to figure this out because I've got a pretty big network at Turning Point USA.
He wanted to check in with and communicate to other people that were working with and around Turning Point USA.
That's why he's on his phone, communicating to them what had happened.
unidentified
That's what he told me.
Then I asked, okay, well, what about this camera thing?
Why would you grab the cameras?
And he says, because the first thing that I thought is that I better secure the footage and be helpful and give that footage, hand that footage over to the feds.
People are doing very, what I would say, credible videos, people that certainly have the credibility are ballistics experts that are saying that what we see in the front is an exit wound, not an entry wound.
I don't know one way or the other because I'm not an expert.
unidentified
I'm getting inundated with messages from people that hunt, people that are in the military saying that this had to come, have come from another direction.
Like, let me just see the footage because why, why go through lawyers?
unidentified
Like, I just want to see the footage.
And also I asked the question, why not just release it?
We've already seen the worst thing that you could possibly see from the front, right?
Like the front is what is a traumatizing video.
And I understand that he wants to afford his wife some protection like this has, you know, to experience that, Erica, so many people watching the love of your life in the last second of their life.
I don't care about anything right now other than figuring out who killed Charlie Kirk.
So in the short run, he agrees that rather than send the footage, he will get onto a FaceTime call with me and he will show me the footage on his computer.
And he did that.
And I watched the footage and I'm going to tell you what I saw.
And to the people specifically, the people that are in the military, people that know weapons, I'm telling you this because you might be able to add more color or more clarity here, what you would expect to see if given the weapon that they have said did this, the bullet they have said did this.
First and foremost, there is nothing gory about this shot at all.
And so again, I am still going to work with him to get me the footage so that I think it should be shared.
There's nothing, there's nothing gory about this footage from the back.
The thing that really stood out to me, and I just kept asking him to replay it over and over and over again, is that there's no blood.
There's no blood from the back.
There is no blood.
So I think a lot of people were wondering whether or not that bullet pierced and went out to the back.
I think I vaguely even remember, and Skylar, you can maybe live look this up, but like I thought the feds were saying they were looking for a bullet at some point, which is now very alarming to me.
Because if I'm not seeing, and there isn't, I'm telling you, what happens in the front is not what happens in the back at all.
If I'm not seeing any blood, what are we to take from that?
The only thing that could make sense, if what they're saying is true and that person took the shot from the place that they are saying that individual took the shot from, it would suggest that it was inside of Charlie, right?
Flashette shells that something could have been a lot closer that hit him, and that everything else could have been a distraction.
All I can tell you is that there's no blood.
That's it.
There's no, there is no blood in that video.
So give me your thoughts on that.
Now I want to get to another tip that I received that is pretty interesting because, look, as you guys know, when I began investigating this assassination, at no point did I ever speculate that any other country was involved, never speculated that Israelis were involved.
So it was surprising to say the least that they're simply pretending that I did, pretending that I blamed Israel, pretending that I said BB Net and Yahoo killed Charlie Kirk.
It is now, like I said yesterday, it feels like they are trying to get ahead of something.
I don't know why you would say something or accuse somebody of saying something that they didn't.
I do believe that there is very clearly, we all believe there's very clearly a government-level conspiracy that is involved.
Okay, there's no other way to assess, assess those disastrous text messages, absolute disaster of a Fed operation with those messages.
Yesterday, I pretty casually mentioned to you guys something that the doorbell cam footage, which TMZ happened upon somehow, was from a street upon which a ton of employees that work for Caldera Engineering live.
Valves as Critical Infrastructure00:04:18
unidentified
We showed you, I think, one or two of those employees, the husband and wife I had mentioned, worked for Caldera Engineering, and it is a country that purports to manufacture valves.
And I said this: I said, I know nothing about the valve industry.
All I know is that every time I start investigating a government conspiracy or looking into people that are really shady, like Harley Pasternik, thus far, three people who I've investigated who oddly, either them or their families had backgrounds working in this very niche valve and piping industry, like manufacturers of valves and pipes.
Like, is everybody doing that?
This is very strange.
Well, many of you emailed me something that was quite surprising.
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but they let me know that this is a very niche industry.
And by niche, I mean that you asserted that it implies major government contracts, likely the CIA, those of you who have worked at those industries telling me that there are even certain valves that are exclusively manufactured in Israel and that they tend to be involved in this.
The government and the military tend to be involved in this.
And that, even by the way, on Caldera's website, they noted that they have worked in Israel.
They have a map that they note every country that they have done engineering projects in.
And one of them or two dots are in Israel.
And somebody explained why the government gets involved when it comes to valves and piping.
And I'm just going to read you this email because maybe there are people at home who are just as ignorant as I am about government-level engineering.
I wanted to share some detailed information regarding valves piping and their relevance to critical infrastructure and intelligence communities.
unidentified
Valves as critical infrastructure assets.
Modern industrial valves are used in pipelines, water treatment plants, power plants, and chemical facilities, are often automated and networked, forming part of operational technology and SCADA systems.
This allows remote monitoring and control of the flow of gas, oil, water, and chemicals.
These valves are part of systems that could be targeted for cyber attacks.
Compromised valves can cause pipeline ruptures, water contamination, or industrial accidents.
Because of this, intelligence and regulatory agencies, the CISA, NSA, PH, MSA, FERC, monitor valve networks and may maintain trusted relationships with manufacturers and engineers to ensure security and resilience.
Modern valve networks can also integrate with cameras, sensors, alarms, and environmental monitoring.
This means that an operator could simultaneously monitor flow, view live video, and respond to alarms, which enhances both security and operational oversight.
unidentified
And strategic value for intelligence communities.
Knowledge of valve locations, models, and control systems provide insight into critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Access to or relationships with manufacturers allows agencies to monitor, assess, and secure supply chains.
Remote monitoring of valves and integrated systems can support emergency response simulations and national security exercises.
unidentified
And then they provide us with the real-world context by writing companies like Caldera Engineering in Provo, Utah manufacture specialized industrial valves and control systems.
While no public evidence currently links them to intelligence contracts, their products could theoretically be part of OT systems monitored by government agencies due to the critical nature of the infrastructure that they serve.
unidentified
In short, valves themselves are simple mechanical devices, but when networked and embedded in critical infrastructure, they become strategically important for monitoring security and intelligence purposes.
And like I said, I perceive a government conspiracy.
unidentified
You'd be a fool not to see a government conspiracy here, especially with the way that I am being attacked for simply trying to investigate this.
And the attacks are growing frantic.
It's almost as if they all received an email from somebody who said, I don't care what you say, make it up out of thin air and do not stop attacking Candace Owens.
Not to mention the fact that, according to the CDC's own data, the flu shot is only moderately effective at best, and that's not even accounting for vaccine injuries.
There is a much better way to stay healthy: grab a contagion emergency kit from the wellness company.
If you wake up with a sore throat or ready knows, address your symptoms immediately with a doctor-prescribed kit containing ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, generic Tamiflu, generic ZPAC, and much more.
It's like having an urgent care clinic in your own home.
I have a contagion emergency kit from the wellness company because I refuse to be trapped in line in an emergency room or to rely on expensive insurance if I catch a cold.
Get it now before cold and flu season kicks into high gear.
unidentified
TWC.health/slash Candace with code Candice, $48 off.
The kits are available to U.S. residents only.
Okay.
All right.
So, let's get into how weird these headlines are getting.
It's very strange.
And I think we know why it's happening.
We obviously know why it's happening, but even the publications that are usually not so blatant, because in order to be a propagandist, you want to be effective, right?
You got to like lie a little and get people to believe you, not just do things that are just so nakedly deceptive that people go, okay, why am I even reading this publication?
unidentified
Well, the Daily Mail put out this headline about me.
Again, if it's like this, look at this journalist, Victoria Churchill, who reached out.
She writes, Candace Owens rages after being snubbed from the Charlie Kirk Memorial speaking roster.
When did this happen?
Like the lying here is actually making me uncomfortable.
I told you yesterday that we received way too many emails about Charlie's memorial.
All of them were asking specifically for me to confirm that I was going.
Didn't feel good to me.
It felt very inauthentic.
I know these journalists are not my friends.
I knew they were writing hit pieces, but all of them included that question.
Like, you want me to confirm my attendance so that you know where I'm going to be ahead of time?
unidentified
Am I being paranoid?
Does that seem like a little weird?
Even on PBD's show, where he just gives a platform to a guest to completely lie for two minutes straight, there is this random second where PBD rather oddly says something along the lines of, you don't think she's going to the funeral?
You just buy a ticket to the event and you're all working to try to get me to confirm that I'm going.
And you're doing this as if you're trying to like push my buttons and be like, we got to make her get into her ego so she like shows up and like posts it on social media.
Nope, actually.
You know, while I'm attacking the feds, maybe not going to a public event, which the feds are organizing is probably a very good idea.
I'm good.
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to listen to power on my headphones and go see yay.
You're starting to hear the way they're framing that now.
unidentified
When you say you're America first, they'll ask you, what do you mean you're America first?
Do you mean that you're an isolationist?
Do you believe that we shouldn't have did what we did during World War II?
All of these things trying to pollute it.
It's not that difficult.
America first.
First name, America, last name first.
We put this country's interests before the interests of foreign countries overseas.
All of them.
I don't care.
Yeah, it kind of went on and on, but it was kind of me saying, especially since three months earlier, I had gotten fired from the Daily Wire, like, Israel, you're not special.
And yeah, Charlie got in trouble for the stuff that I said on stage.
And then they came inward.
I told her that I was not allowed to speak at ABFest.
The donors were making threats.
But like, I went on tour with Turning Point last year.
Maybe because he says she would have been the natural heir to Turning Point USA.
unidentified
I'm not trying to be the heir to Turning Point USA.
I kind of like my life.
I don't want to take money from donors, okay?
Because they do what they did to Charlie.
They're not buying, they're not donating money to charity because they view it as a charity.
They do it even because they want to purchase your voice.
That's it.
And I don't want to give mine up.
But what these people are telling me is a very dark story that involves these donors, sponsors, influencers, a takeover of swords that I think was happening right under Charlie's nose.
And I want to say this formally as we keep investigating this.
I believe that Charlie Kirk was betrayed by people who are close to him.
unidentified
Based on what I have seen thus far, the evidence, the quote-unquote receipts that require a way deeper investigation into the apparatus, the financial apparatus at Turning Point, there was definitely some weird activity leading up to this moment happening at the organization.
And I've been able to verify it.
I have been given names and I intend to now embark on this lengthier investigation, which I need more help on.
I've reached out to some journalists.
I'm sharing the information with them.
And I think we're going to discover that this was ugly, uglier than we could have ever imagined.
Okay.
There is a fear here that we are all perceiving, a desperation almost to end the investigation.
The smears are becoming radical, radical.
You can't just pretend Candace hasn't spoken to Charlie Kirk in years, but they're doing it and they're trying to be convincing and shocked and putting this out.
I've never stopped talking to Charlie.
I mean, yesterday I released just one of many messages that I have with Charlie, which prove that he was, in the months leading up to this, concerned about Israel and how Israel was coming after our free speech.
Free speech meant a lot to him, right?
This message is from May.
We can pull that back up, right?
Charlie sent me his tweet because after the assassination of Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lachinsky in DC, people were calling for like hate speech laws.
And Charlie, you know, authored a long tweet saying these were beautiful people.
And again, it was just the justification that this somehow meant that we had to, you know, get rid of free speech, you know, like suddenly like, oh, well, this happened.
So now we need to say free speech is wrong.
And so I wrote back to him and I said, great tweet.
And he gave prayer hands and I said, speech censorship is coming to America.
And he wrote back, as you can see, and the date here is May 22nd of this year.
Charlie was concerned about the speech that he felt the restrictions.
unidentified
And inevitably, this happens when you get into bed with Israel.
You can't criticize them at all, as Megan said, before you start enduring threats.
And what I have learned from the employees there is that back in May, Turning Point had some big changes, some odd changes as they are describing it to me, certain departments, people that were being fired, people that were told that they had to keep certain things a secret, secret from whom?
And the strangest thing is that Pam Bondi, who is a complete loser and a tool, is trying to use the assassination of Charlie Kirk to lay the groundwork for hate speech laws in America.
The very thing that Charlie was fighting against.
They all just got right to work trying to pass laws.
Well, if Charlie Kirk is such, now we got to hate speech is something.
Jimmy Kimmel Defends Free Speech00:12:08
unidentified
Exactly what he's messaging me about that he doesn't want to happen.
They're trying to use his death to justify.
Listen to what Pam Bondi said to Katie Miller on her podcast.
Take a listen: there's free speech and then there's hate speech.
unidentified
No.
And there is no place, especially now, especially after what happened to Charlie in our society.
Do you see more law enforcement going after these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on people so we show them that some action is better than no action?
We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech, anything.
And that's across the aisle.
So to be clear, that's the feds telling you that they want to pass speech laws, which will basically just give them the full power to go after you for wrong think.
Okay.
And they're doing it in the most disturbing way ever by going after Charlie Kirk's legacy and using his assassination to say, oh, well, now we've got to pass, we've got to get hate speech done, which by the way, who was the person and a leader who said that he was passing laws against speech in America?
That was BB Net and Yahoo, okay, years ago on record saying that he was working with the government of America and any person that criticized Israel would find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
The reason they're doing this, obviously, is because they can't win in the free markets.
People are, as Megan said, people that are under 30 are anti-Israel.
So that means the future of America is anti-Israel.
So what they're going to try to do is to pass speech laws, Bolshevik speech laws.
unidentified
They're going to arrest us for saying that we don't support Israel.
Something that Charlie was passionately against.
Okay.
And we can show you next week clips of him hosting the debate about speech and Israel and whether or not everything was anti-Semitism.
And he was very clear in his perception that this is going to increase anti-Semitism, trying to pass speech laws or leaving people anti-Semites by criticizing BB Net and Yahoo.
Am I wrong for, am I cynical for believing that, yeah, the feds are obviously lying.
And I would say at some level, in a very big way, were involved in the death of Charlie because they wanted this sort of radical way to push through laws.
And speaking of free speech, I want to speak about Jimmy Kimmel because he has been pulled off air indefinitely over his comments in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination.
So let's take a listen to what Jimmy Kimmel said on his show.
We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
In between the finger pointing, there was grieving.
On Friday, the White House flew the flags at half-staff, which got some criticism.
But on a human level, you can see how hard the president is taking this.
My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk.
May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir?
I think very good.
And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks?
They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get, as you know, for about 150 years.
And it's going to be a beauty.
Yes.
He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction.
Demolition.
Construction.
This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend.
Whether or not you think it was a insensitive joke, okay, I don't think that that would have been the justification for saying that he now needs to donate to charity and lose his whole life.
And this is what happened.
He's taken off air.
And some people are saying, hey, Cannis, they did this to us.
And you're not wrong, right?
If you are on the right and you are saying that when the whole George Floyd thing happened, people lost their jobs for saying sensible things or making a joke.
You are correct.
Like you are right to say, yes, that absolutely did happen.
But if you're not recognizing that when you just flip the coin, it's the same people that are gaining more power.
Of where we spend our dollars, of what we're saying, and not like the government to press a button and say, you lose everything because we don't like what you said.
And it should be noted, by the way, that in the same monologue, he did call the murder senseless the day that it happened.
Jimmy Kimmel posted a message on Instagram sending love to the Kirk family, to the victims of gun violence.
And you also have to remember, Charlie wanted us to be happy warriors.
So while we are fighting for truth, while we are fighting for transparency, we should remember that we should laugh and we should be happy.
unidentified
And the clips that you guys are making regarding how the feds think that we speak after that ridiculous made-up text chain between Tyler Robinson and his lover, Lance, they're hilarious.
Your TikToks and the videos are hilarious.
I'm going to show you just one here.
This is Chris Olson at Chris Olson.
He's actually over on Instagram.
Take a listen.
Good day, my love.
I've just committed one of the highest sins of the Lord, murder.
I must flee the country now in my vehicle.
I've hidden the weapon.
It was mine.
I won't see you for a very long time unless you come with me.
I'll explain to you why that poster, that picture is definitely not taken in July.
First, I want to tell you guys about Pure Talk because our society works because of the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, free speech.
Okay.
Even if I hate your speech, I want you to have it.
Everyday Americans should be able to speak openly and they should be able to speak honestly about family, their traditional values without any retribution, obviously.
And that's the principle that Pure Talk proudly supports.
They sponsor my show, which allows me to stand strong behind the microphone every day and share truth with you guys.
If you want to support brands that defend freedom and pro-American values, I encourage you to switch your wireless service to Pure Talk.
Go to puretalk.com/slash owens to switch to my wireless company, Pure Talk.
unidentified
Right now, you will save an additional 50% off your first month.
Again, visit puretalk.com/slash owens to make a switch today.
I'll also remind you guys about American financing because if you have been living on credit cards just to cover groceries, gas, and bills, you know those interest rates are absolutely brutal.
Why keep paying 20% or more to the banks when you could just call my friends in American Financing?
Because they have mortgage rates right now that are in the fives and they are showing people every day how to keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pocket and out of the hands of credit card companies.
Right now, American Financing is helping homeowners save an average of about $800 a month by using their home equity to wipe out high interest debt.
And there are no upfront fees, no obligations.
And it's really just a 10-minute call that you make to a salary-based mortgage consultant.
There's also another kicker.
If you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments, which puts even more cash in your hands right away.
Some of you guys noticed that there was this old Superman poster and that Superman in the background there, that poster, you said they removed those ads back in June or July.
And that's when they were scheduled to remove those ads.
But rest assured first and foremost for two reasons that that is not definitely not footage from July.
July, just so you guys understand, there is not a place in the world that would have the bandwidth to keep 24-hour footage inside of their restaurant dating back months.
And like I said, I feel very confident about our source.
And we are taking a look at everything.
You guys have sent me so much more, by the way, which I'm going to get into this weekend in memorial of Charlie Kirk about the house next door, some weird stuff that was happening at that house, what has been advertised at that vacant house where the locals believe that's the real place that the shooter went to.
And people are telling me a lot of stuff about CIA action at UVU, some programs that they had been running, that there's a pipeline from people at UVU to people that go and work for the CIA.
unidentified
So there's a lot to investigate, but I also wanted to be given the time to fact check everything so that we don't go after the wrong people.
Again, if you have any tips, any photos, you know where to send them.
