Candace Owens challenges the official narrative that Tyler Robinson committed suicide and shot Charlie Kirk, citing his inherited gun, lack of UVU familiarity, unexplained Dairy Queen photo, and parents silenced under federal pressure. Exclusive Instagram photos suggest Robinson may have planned to disclose his sexuality, while inconsistencies—like staged apartment details and unconfirmed surveillance images—raise doubts. Owens highlights Phil Lyman’s suspicious proximity to the scene, military ties among involved figures, and the absence of thorough investigations by Kirk’s associates, implying a coordinated cover-up with deeper implications than acknowledged. [Automatically generated summary]
I mean, these are the phrases that we now use and that we say when we expect that the federal government is telling us a lie.
Last week, I have to tell you, I was contacted by a source who I vetted with information that answered a lot of the lingering questions that we've had about the investigation.
Not all of them, but some of them, some of the big ones.
First and foremost, we were like, how exactly did it work?
How did Tyler Robinson turn himself in, as we were told, but also never confessed?
And did he actually author those absurd Fed messages?
As many of you guys have noted, the Robinson family appear to be conservative, hence the hunting and the fishing as the sports of their choosing.
I am told that they are fans of Charlie Kirk and they are fans of Donald Trump, although this source noted that Tyler, like many other conservatives have expressed, wished that Trump would sometimes tone down his speech and his rhetoric.
Now, on the topic of rhetoric, I am told that Tyler absolutely did not author those text messages.
He has no idea where these messages came from, believes that they are therefore entirely fictionalized.
unidentified
It turns out, you're going to be shocked, that he doesn't actually use words like vehicle, which should come as no surprise to anyone that has a brain.
By the way, I'm sure you caught this, but there's old footage of Tyler Robinson that is now circulating from a car accident that he had.
And during the discussion with the officer that showed up, Tyler certainly refers to it as his car, not his vehicle, because that's how most Americans, how most English speakers refer to a car, unless they're in the military or on the police force.
So here is 2022 police body cam footage, in case you missed that, of Tyler making a crash report.
The father realized his son was guilty, so it goes, right?
And then he phoned over a friend to help him convince his son to turn himself in because this guy, you know, this mysterious guy was a friend and just had a connection with Tyler.
And eventually they said, you've got to do the right thing here.
Certainly, that's what the media was putting down for us to pick up.
unidentified
Well, I was told actually that it was kind of the opposite.
That quote unquote family friend, who we learned was a former detective with the police force, at least, and so therefore has strong ties with the police station, informed the family.
It was that in-between person that informed the family that Tyler had been identified as the shooter.
He recognized him.
He knows Tyler.
He gives them the heads up.
And then I'm told, and I believe this, that the way in which he got arrested or rather turned himself in was because that family friend slash neighbor slash former detective told him, hey, it's best for you to turn yourself in because there's only one of two options here.
Either you turn yourself in and everything is peaceable, or the SWAT team could come in here and arrest you and things could get crazy.
He disputed the idea that he had murdered Charlie Kirk.
unidentified
In fact, according to my source, Tyler has never even stepped foot on UVU campus.
Tyler, it turns out, which has already been revealed, was accepted into Utah State University, not Utah Valley.
And that's actually interesting if you pause and reflect on that, because we didn't really consider how on earth Tyler became not just familiar with the layout of the campus, but familiar with the rooftop layout of UVU campus.
So familiar that he knew exactly how to scale across the rooftops to duck down in order to take an almost impossible shot at a Charlie Kirk who was sitting beneath a tent.
How did he know how to do all of that?
Had he been there before?
That he knew where Charlie was going to be sitting and that he would have that shot from on top of the Losey Center.
What?
Right?
I would actually, and I don't know, but I would imagine that even actual current UVU students don't know that possibility.
Like they're not even that familiar with how to scale the rooftops and what shots they can take from it.
We'll see.
Curiously, however, my source says that Tyler Robinson was nearby the campus on that day.
So if you're wondering why exactly Tyler would agree to go to the police station if he's not guilty, ironically, the police were honest that day on one of the points.
Well, first and foremost, that point is Tyler is not suicidal.
He wanted to go to the police station so that he didn't risk accidentally getting shot by the police swarming his home, as I said earlier, in a theatrical arrest setting.
But rather confusingly, Brooksby, Nate Brooksby, tells us that Tyler is suicidal.
So he said, hey, I know who Charlie Kirk shooter is.
unidentified
I know the family through religious association.
And he's in Washington County now.
And we're working on trying to get him to come in voluntarily.
During that phone call, some information was provided about Tyler potentially having some suicidal ideations, was in or out to a remote area of Washington County.
The parents convinced him not to do that and conveyed that they would stand by him and help him surrender peacefully.
He then tells us, Brooksby, that he came in willingly because he didn't want to die.
unidentified
Let's take a listen to that portion.
Within the hour, my friend drove Tyler and his parents to my office where he was greeted by plainclothes detectives.
So that was part of the deal is Tyler knew it was just inevitable with all the law enforcement pressure that he, you know, his picture in the news, the gun on the gun on the news, he knew it was inevitable that he would be caught.
He was fearful of a SWAT team hit on his house or he was fearful of being shot by law enforcement.
So part of the negotiation and getting him to bring himself in was that, that we would treat it as delicate and as soft as possible to make him feel comfortable to where he would show up at my office.
And that's exactly what happened.
It can't be both.
It can't be both.
Was he suicidal and wanting to die or was he worried about dying?
It can't be both.
And I didn't catch on to that early on.
It's the answer was he came in because he is not suicidal and did not want to get shot and was confused, as I am told.
And they were especially shocked because apparently Tyler kept mentioning to them that he wanted them to meet some girl that he was seeing.
Now, I would like to interject my own voice here and say that I think this girl was likely Lance and Tyler was working up the courage to tell his family that he was gay.
That is what is most likely in my opinion because we know for a fact that Tyler was in fact in a relationship with Lance because we have exclusive photos, by the way, that they're about to show you that the two of them posted to their Instagrams.
Now, that is precisely what made the idea of him being so stupid as to author a full confessional via text messages pointedly absurd.
Like any person with a modicum of intelligence is going to go, I'm not going to put this down in writing with every detail.
unidentified
And apparently, whoever offered those messages, likely feds, didn't have a modicum of intelligence, or they would have maybe not included every single detail there.
The family says that the photo of the young man that is coming up the stairs, which was shared, that blurry image, is definitively not Tyler Robinson.
And let me just say, I never thought it looked like him.
We've never met Tyler Robinson, but I can tell you that it seems like they were trying to hide the fact that this, you know, that this apartment got raided.
And it's very strange that they immediately cleared Lance as a suspect.
And I was told by other people in the department that they wanted to keep that raid very hush-hush.
Anyone anybody know about the raid?
There was no mention of this raid.
unidentified
And Lance immediately gets cleared as a suspect.
Why?
Well, according to Tyler's family, they went to that apartment after his arrest and they felt the apartment was staged and that intentionally in Tyler's room, a furry bed was placed, almost sort of implying that they're trying to transfer the attributes of Lance onto Tyler.
And that's shady.
But again, when I put together what I'm being told by Lance's family and what I'm hearing from the Robinson family through a third party, I will say that it matches.
There's also something else that's weird that I want to mention here.
And that is the unusual lengths in which the media and the sheriff's department, they've gone through all of these lengths, I would say, to protect the identity of that former sheriff friend who was the one who convinced Tyler to turn himself in.
Even in that press conference, by the way, Brooksby, I don't like the way he's moving.
I don't like the way Nate Brooksby is breathing.
I got to be honest with you.
It's a vibe.
For no reason at all, he feels like he has to explain how he got on the phone with this sheriff friend of his.
Like nobody asked you whether or not it was usual for him to call you.
I was trying to protect even that information and just saying retired law enforcement in general.
unidentified
Why are you trying to protect him?
Why did you feel the need to explain to us earlier?
It's not unusual for him to call me this guy, but I'm fortunate that information is in documents that he was formally working for me and working with me.
What do you mean?
If he was formerly working for you, that would mean he was a public figure.
Public figures, people that work for police departments are always public and their informations are something, their name is someone we could easily research.
When you serve that long in the police force, you inevitably make it into the news.
So I am asking, and we tried to reach out to this individual.
We have had no luck.
If you have any more information about this individual, if he is your Boy Scout leader or he works for your church, please send us tips at cannisones.com.
Guys, I'm going to again say here, we appreciate all of the tips, but please don't send us links to like, you know, somebody else's video and their theories because we are, it's, we're a very small team.
There's literally four of us.
unidentified
And we want to get to actual tips pertaining to the questions that we're asking and that we're looking for about the individuals that we're mentioning, not other people's theories.
But we really want to keep the tips lines for answers to the questions that we're coming across.
unidentified
And again, we appreciate you guys so much because we wouldn't have gotten as far as we have if it wasn't for that tips box.
I do also want to say before we get into reading and telling you something even crazier that happened.
I'm talking crazy, crazy.
I do want to assert here that I'm uncomfortable with the fact that despite all the friends that Charlie Kirk made, all the schmoozing that he did, presidents, right, department heads, I am the only person that is publicly demanding further investigation into his assassination.
Even Turning Point USA, they're just like, we've accepted, obviously, there are holes in this narrative and they're just like, we're going to just keep up his show.
And you can save so many lives from abortion and stand firm in the gospel as well.
Again, preborn.org/slash Candace to provide an ultrasound for just $28.
Also, reminding you guys about Tax Network USA because you might be someone that owes back taxes, or you might be someone who has tax returns that are not filed.
If you forgot to file for an extension, the October 15th deadline is fast approaching and time is running out.
And obviously we spoke about this Tiffany Peterson Barker, that very weird clip of her with her nieces at like 4 a.m. in the morning, speaking on Good Morning America.
You had essentially a connection there that made that happen.
unidentified
Don't know how I missed this, but then I learned that Phil Lyman himself was very involved in all of the communications that immediately went out about the shooting and that his car was in the driveway of the now infamous TMZ footage, which showed the shooter walking twice that day by this house.
In fact, Phil Lyman says he had just pulled into that driveway minutes earlier and had just missed the shooter.
Here he is in his own words speaking to Kaylee McEnany.
Also, when he says, like, he grew up there and his family, I mean, his family owns, we were able to determine one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12 homes right there.
In hindsight, as I've watched that over and over, it's like these people were not afraid.
Okay.
So what I get from that is he was up high because he says they're looking down below and that maybe people that are wearing black are immediately suspects.
I saw a picture of you with Charlie Kirk and it looks like you were like maybe right before he went on stage.
Is this just like minutes before this happened?
Yeah, no, I was basically backstage and when he and when he came out was throwing a hat, so I was there.
I was standing next to the stage and I would have been there when the shooting took place, but I needed to go meet some of my friends and I didn't want to just hang around.
So there's a part of me that's glad that I wasn't in close proximity and part of me that feels bad that I wasn't there just in some form of moral presence and support.
It's such a tragic thing.
When I combine those clips, I'm kind of unclear as to where he was exactly when the shots rang out, if he was close or if he felt bad that he wasn't close.
Anyways, he went onto Instagram that night as Tiffany was prepping her Good Morning America hit, I suppose.
And he speaks further about what he was doing back onto campus and what exactly he remembers.
It's about 11:30 at night, and I wanted to swing back by UVU campus where Charlie Kirk was killed today and see if I could let a few of the police officers know how much I appreciate the work they're doing.
See if there's some college students here that I could rub shoulders with more for my benefit than for theirs.
But what I really wanted to share was I was very close this morning where Charlie Kirk was at.
I met him backstage, and we talked for a moment before he went on stage.
And I was backstage as he started speaking, then decided to go up top.
unidentified
And I went up to the top and ironically was very close to where the shooter was.
Apparently, the shot was very loud.
And I determined pretty quickly that whoever it was was on the roof.
And it was a 200-yard kill shot.
Where was he?
I don't know.
I find this to be a little weird, but look, let's be clear, by no means conclusive of anything other than perhaps a strange coincidence.
And maybe this is why he feels so impassioned and wants to keep speaking about it.
Where the guilty party somehow inserts himself into the investigation.
unidentified
So I park by the side.
I keep pushing and I'm following more public leads.
But also, I do recall in the back of my mind that both Phil and Tiffany Barker, and as it would turn out, another person that lives on that street with the last name Shumway kept trying to get me to look into Governor Cox because he's, according to Tiffany, very supportive of the trans stuff.
Nothing in my investigation has made me ask a question further about Governor Cox on that day.
Nothing came up organically.
unidentified
So I'm not going to push it just because he's a Democrat.
And actually, where I was at at this process, what's that?
Oh, pushing that because Governor Cox is his, sorry, I said Democrat because he's his, you know, he's warring with him.
And that's the candidate that he wants to go after.
And I actually start noticing as I'm looking into this investigation that everyone who was involved on that day, I mean, literally the person who spots the shooter on the roof, military, the person who says, oh, I just happened to be in the right place in the flag of halls where I saw him running, also in the military.
And I'm starting to think, is it possible that this is like a military hit?
I don't know, but I'd like to find out.
Next came a tip that you guys saw me receive live on the show.
And you should know that that shooter was with a woman, right?
That's a tip that I received, that that woman, the shooter was with a woman, and he was seen changing clothes and that they've cut out that footage.
I reach out to that individual and the name that they give me for the house that this took place in, and I'm able to confirm that this property is nearby is owned by Lyman Branch.
So now I want to be clear.
I could not attach whether or not yet this individual is related to Phil Lyman, but he's been honest about the fact that his family lives around there a lot.
Like, you know, the Steele Lyman clan is here.
So I was a little bit on alert, maybe like a lot of bit on alert.
And I decided to just do a basic search into Phil Lyman.
And I'm quite surprised that it's impossible for me to find out who his mother and father are.
Like, I literally don't know what goes on in Utah, but it seems like a very weird thing to me that you would be able to keep information about who your mom and dad are private if you're running for governor, right?
So I just simply ask Nick.
I haven't shared any of this with Nick because I know that he worked for Phil Lyman and I'm not accusing Phil Lyman of anything.
And he tells me that Phil randomly messaged him saying that he was nearby in town, in town rather, and asked Nick for his address, something that he never had.
unidentified
And Nick, quite naively, and being this Phil super fan, thinks that Phil's going to come and offer him a job because he's been so on it investigating this Charlie Kirk assassination.
So that's that's very, very gracious of him to do, but his energy isn't good.
And then he mentioned Governor Cox and he mentions Tyler Boyer of Turning Point USA and says that, again, this is according to Nick, that Tyler Boyer and the Lyman have been speaking and that they're, you know, really going to make Governor Cox.
unidentified
And I'm paraphrasing here, but apparently there's another Utah event, USU event coming up and Governor Cox is supposed to speak.
And Phil Lyman intimates that, like, you know, this at this TPUS event, Governor Cox isn't going to look great.
I'm like, what?
He then tells him, I'm going to go.
If you don't mind, I'm going to take a phone call in my car.
So he's just idling in a 20-year-old's driveway who just happened to work on his campaign and he's on the phone.
Maybe somebody else noticed something or knew something or he said something.
unidentified
And lo and behold, very early on, someone just messaged us and said, hey, like, you should probably ask more questions about Phil Lyman because every time I look into this investigation locally, him and his family members are popping up.
And then that person tells me that his nephew had sort of done this public tour.
Like Phil Lyman's nephew did this public tour saying that he was going to walk the same route that the shooter walked near his grandmother's house and that they found, you guys remember this, they found the converse footprint nearby his grandma's house.
I mean, first and foremost, he's here, he's with his friends.
unidentified
He said, I took my friends to my grandma's house tonight and we retraced his steps and we took pictures in the exact place that the security cameras caught him.
I've been through this new experience for the last few days.
I don't want you feeling comfortable in your own home.
I would like you to just remove yourself entirely from the boots on the ground elements of this investigation.
unidentified
I don't think Phil is acting in a way that I perceive to be stable, given the fact that, again, he inserted himself in this investigation and we're asking, this is my car on the street.
Okay, you want to be helpful?
We're asking you to be helpful.
And now all of a sudden you're showing up at a 20-year-old's house and you're being weird.
So unfortunately, because I need to figure out what happened on that day, I'm turning to the public to try to identify those people and anything else that you may know that may help put things together for us.

Again, please reserve the tips at canisowens.com for actual tips related to the questions that we are asking, not for just comments, those sorts of things, videos that you'd like me to watch or things that you'd like to do to point me into a different direction.
Please just tag us on social media so that we can try to manage this process better.
Anyways, you guys, given you a lot, a lot of weird stuff going on.
Just need to know what on earth happened on that day.
I'm going to get to some of your comments here first.
I want to tell you about American financing because the Fed has finally dropped interest rates.
But you can't insert yourself and then pretend you're under attack when people then go, hey, can you answer some basic questions?

Marzie is writing to us.
She writes, looking into the bullet made me think of the poisoned bullet, when hit men intentionally use a bullet to cause a lot of damage from tumbling and fragmentation.
They could at the very least name the donors, get a little bit of revenge, name the donors who were pressuring him, tell the truth about what was happening there.
They won't do anything.
They're just like, oh, it's all good.
It's all good.
No, it's not all good, actually.
Not all good at all.
Bitsy writes, the whole world is a stage used to hurdle the cattle in the direction that they want to take us.
It's all lies.
I rejected all Lord Jesus Christ is king indeed, Bitsy.
I don't think he's going to necessarily put you on a tour try to help you because he's not being very kind right now to this poor guy, Nick, who was like a super Philippines super fan.
I, when I first saw the footage, thought as well that something came upward.
But when I looked at the image from the side, the microphone is still on him afterwards.
Mic Perspectives Shift00:01:28
unidentified
So like when you see it from on, it looks like it kind of disappears, but then it kind of shifts.
When you look at the, when you look at the perspective slightly to the left, you see that it actually stays on him and it's just in the fold.
Again, I don't know enough about weaponry to say that that's possible or not possible, but I would imagine if anything did sling into him with that kind of a force, it would fall off.
And I can tell you it doesn't fall off.
There's another theory that I'm still looking into that has been presented that I think is definitely interesting.
