CANDACE OWENS Destroys ERIKA KIRK and It's Brutal

|

Time Text
Erica Kirk's Soap Opera 00:12:55
I was caught up in that usual stuff going on regarding Epstein.
But what Erica Kirk is doing and what Candace highlighted today, this is, there's nothing like this.
This is like a real soap opera, a train wreck, a collision.
I don't know what you call this.
Remember Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos?
Remember that when that fell apart and she went to prison?
That was nothing compared to this.
Even she knew, shut up, go away.
The thing that I want to explain the most to you, which is if you're brand new to this, is that Erica Kirk is delusional.
And I'm sorry, it's terrible.
I love it.
I'm just sick.
It's like watching real professional wrestling, a real Greek tragedy, a real drama, real self-immolation, real self-destruction.
A woman who has been kept, I guess maybe her whole life, in this inertial bubble goes on cable news shows.
And do you think they're buying this?
Maybe they do.
Maybe they do.
I always err or err, as you might say, on the side of ignorance.
Just when you think, okay, Candace, you've done enough now.
You've done enough.
You've pretty much, there's nothing to talk about.
That, no, new.
They walk in and they say, here you go.
Employees who were sacked and their rendition of the lying, the mendacity, the web of lies.
And what is happening to TPUSA and Erica Kirk right now is I'm telling you, and God bless Candace for this, it's not just internet drama.
It's a stress test of credibility in an era where the media, these companies can turn on a dime, where there is no loyalty, none, nothing, no corporate, no class, no nothing.
It's all bullshit.
Pardon my French.
There's no other word.
Erica, TPUSA, the whole bit of the Christian and God.
It might have been like that with Charlie, but what's saying right now, I'm telling you, this whole week between everybody on the Epstein list talking about Luciferian pizza parties and now this, I'm wondering, where am I?
What's going on here?
The pressure coming from Candace Owens is not simply criticism.
It is a sustained, brutal narrative assault that is going to force TPUSA and its leadership into this permanent defensive crouch.
They cannot possibly, possibly survive this because the people who would want to contribute and be a part of this and follow Erica know the story.
And here's the best part.
Candace isn't going out of her way finding this.
She's not digging up dirt.
The dirt is coming to her.
All you have to do is just watch this because nobody has been able to tell Erica, shut up and go home.
You're just, it's like, what?
Remember when E. Jean Carroll, the woman who alleged that President Trump had done something bad to her, and she was successful in a civil case, which is a whole other story.
But remember when she was on TV and people said, oh, for the love of God, what is she on TV for?
She's coming across as a lunatic.
She's Eleanor Roosevelt compared to what Erica Kirk is.
Because Erica Kirk believes what she's saying.
And the real question, by the way, here is not whether the criticism that we're hearing from Candace is fair or unfair.
The question is how long any organization can function when a former ally, I mean, and you couldn't get better than Candace, with a massive platform.
Have you ever watched her show?
Have you ever seen it?
It's like a rally.
It is a rally.
It's like, my God, it's Woodstock.
And her fans just love her.
Love her.
No, no, no, no, love her.
Not just love.
Love her.
And I'm not mocking it.
I'm telling you it's the truth.
They're dealing with a woman whose platform decides, if they want to decide to make you the centerpiece of content strategy, you're doomed.
And they just don't get it.
And they don't get it.
Ben Shapiro doesn't get it.
Maybe they're all making so much money on the side that they figure, look, we don't have to.
We don't have to work for this.
It's guaranteed.
I don't know.
Who is buying this?
You think somebody would go into TPUSA and say, I don't want anybody fired.
They made what, a quarter of a billion just off of Charlie's murder alone?
I'm not saying off of that in terms of, but you know what I mean.
Why are they doing this?
Why don't they realize now is not the time to come across as being disloyal.
You're just, they act with impunity.
They feel bulletproof.
That's a bad example, but you know what I mean.
From a purely, I guess, structural standpoint, TPUSA is not some fragile startup.
It's this huge political organization with donors and an infrastructure and a staff and a built-in audience that predates, antedates this feud.
And organizations at that scale don't collapse overnight because of one media personality.
They collapse and self-implode when donor confidence weakens, when internal morale drops, and when the public brand becomes synonymous with controversy instead of mission.
That's what this is about.
That's the danger zone.
And right now, TPUSA is just skating on the edge on thin ice.
I don't see it.
The only way it survives, it survives on faith.
And without Charlie there, and this Erica, who honest to God believes that when she acts firm and gives you that Stepford glare, that stink eye look, that laser, is this her attempt at what?
Does this inspire confidence?
Ooh, she's giving us the eye, the maluk, you know, the evil eye.
Candace Owens understands something that many, a lot of political operators still don't understand or underestimate.
Narrative repetition beats institutional press release crap every single time.
If you repeat a story often enough with enough emotional charge and enough apparent receipt, so to speak, it starts to feel like common knowledge.
And even people who do not follow every single interstitial granular detail, they absorb the vibe.
And the vibe becomes the story.
And in this case, the vibe, the vibe she is pushing is that Erica Kirk and the TPUSA leadership are a bunch of liars.
They represent cosmic nuclear phoniness, image management, and a kind of staged, phony, kabuki-like performative political theater that everybody with two working neurons knows is ridiculous.
And whether you agree with that framing is almost beside the point.
What matters is that it's sticky.
You see, Owens, Candace Owens, is not making kind of like dry theoretical political critiques.
She's telling a morality play.
Again, it's a Greek.
It's a work.
It's WW, well, it's NWA Wrestling, if you think about it.
Good versus evil, Manichaean.
She's talking about authenticity versus performances.
She is positioning herself as the truth teller, ripping the mask off of this ridiculous, stupid production.
And that is compelling content.
I am telling you, watch her shows.
I'm not going to put her show up and others, put it up and then stop and say, huh?
I'm not reacting to this.
You do it.
There's nothing I can say that can anyway provide a narrative that even remotely tells you what she is doing.
I'm not bad at explaining things, to explicate and limbing things, but I can't do this.
You've got to see the delivery.
You've got to get the vibe.
You know, her show, they invite audiences to feel like insiders watching a facade crumble, and they trust her.
They trust her 100%.
Let me tell you something.
I know some people say, what are you talking about?
Erica, I mean, excuse me, how about Candace?
She is trusted so much.
If she ran for office, I'd vote for her.
I don't even care what.
Have you ever caught her in a lie?
Have you?
Have you?
Have you caught her where she said something that's like, well, you kind of exaggerated that one?
She underplays it.
She lets you step into a pile of steaming, you know what, and then comments on that.
She doesn't go after people, creating the problem.
And for Erica Kirk, this is a uniquely personal bind.
You see, when this kind of international, well, international, but internet criticism targets kind of an abstract organization, you know, these leader folks could hide behind statements and committees.
Not everybody knows everybody, the names.
And, you know, when criticism targets a person's character, their style, and their authenticity, and their truth, every public appearance becomes evidence in the court of public opinion.
And she still doesn't get it.
She's never gone to acting class to have somebody sit and say, do you see what you're doing?
Let's want you.
Look at this.
Let's listen to what we did a focus group.
Listen to what people are saying about you.
Nobody's buying this.
But she's basically saying, you don't understand something.
I'm Erica Kirk, goddammit, and I'm going to be there.
And there's nothing you can do to stop me.
There's nothing you can do to stop me.
Okay?
You don't understand this.
They love me.
They love me.
I'm hot.
I'm sexy.
I'm a Christian.
I'm the ideal wife.
I'm better than Charlie.
And I have been waiting.
This is my time for the close-up, Mr. DeVille.
And I'll be goddamned if I'm going to be allowed to sit back and just go off into the sunset.
Are you kidding me?
And I got these Ben Shapiros and everybody from Laura Loomer and everybody.
They're all circling.
Ben Shapiro, have you, even I don't know.
What?
If I turn my back for a moment, you vultures are going to, you're going to sell out.
You're going to liquidate, take your cash and beat it.
And you're going to leave me high and dry because this is it, my friend.
You know what?
I'm aging out here.
I hate to say it, but I'm going to be some, you know, Hollywood shantous.
By my days are numbered.
I'm not buying the green bananas.
I mean, I'm not exactly old, but my days of Ms. Hotsi Totsi, that's it.
And if it isn't for this, what am I going to do?
What am I going to do?
Yeah, it's about money, but you don't understand something.
I've got an ego you've got to fill.
I've got this ego you've got to fill.
I want attention, damn it.
And you're not going to let me go, period.
And if you want a bloodbath, I'll go after you.
And then, of course, she has no idea what she's talking about.
See, people see this calculation.
You know, even neutral observers see a spectacle that really looks exactly like a reality TV show more than some political advocacy.
And the accusation, the accusation that everything feels fake is extremely corrosive in conservative media spaces that prize this plain speaking and ideological sincerity.
Fair or not, whether you like it or not, once that label sticks, it colors every interaction and you can't unstick it.
Accusations Unveiled 00:04:14
It's better than ever.
What she is showing now, what she is producing, is unbelievable.
Statements sound scripted.
And she's on, very frankly, some platforms with people who are frankly more phony than she is.
So you get two phonies.
And I'm going to say it is called phony.
It's called, I'm not believing you.
And this, this, this, what about is this damage control?
And then she says, by the way, I want full disclosure.
I want disclosure during the trial against Charlie.
Are you sure about that?
Are you sure about that?
I have not, I swear to God, just as a professional, as a former prosecutor and criminal trial, I would love to be on the defense team for Tyler Robinson.
I would.
I mean, if you think this is open and shut, you're out of your mind.
Because all my cross-examinations will start with this.
Let me get this straight.
Tyler here is Annie Oakley or Wild Bill Hickok who took old Grand Pappy shooting iron and decided, and then just go through the absurdity of it.
Just the absurdity.
Sometimes when you break a story down into its component parts, you realize, my God, this is the most stupid stuff I've ever heard in my life.
And it's getting even more stupid.
And I'm going to be there with you, my friends.
Let me say, all hail, Candace Owens.
Candace?
Candy?
I've never met you.
I got to tell you something.
Have you ever found yourself, you're watching a Netflix show and you're addicted to it.
And you're saying, why is this show so good?
I don't know.
Why is this so good?
It's so good because it's so bad.
It's so good because it's so sad.
It's so good because it's so sad.
Because what she is doing, she's actually speaking on behalf of a group of people whose hearts were broken when they shot Charlie like a dog with blood just gushing.
Entrance or exit wound?
I don't know.
With his bones of steel in this one story after another.
And there are people who invested a lot of money and a lot of time and a lot of spiritual investment and they want justice.
So, okay, Erica, remember, you want justice.
And let me tell you something.
You may not want this.
You may not like this.
And a lot of people watching this may not like this.
But if you want justice, you do not want cameras in the courtroom.
Believe me.
Believe me.
If there's one place, one place that cameras don't believe, don't belong, is a public restroom and a courtroom.
Believe me.
Because when you see what goes on there, you'll never want to go in one of those again.
It's that simple.
It's that simple.
It's a joke.
And what you're going to end up doing is, if he makes it, if Tyler makes it, you know, without being Epstein, you're going to end up making him look like this stupid kid who's borderline retarded, yet academically a genius.
You're going to make him look like, like, wow.
You're going to make him look like, geez, maybe he, you know what?
And you don't want that, Erica.
You don't want that?
She doesn't even know this script.
Anyway, let me stop right there.
Let me thank you.
Thank you for following me.
Thank you for following us.
Thank you for following the truth.
And by the way, thank you for following my beloved wife at Lynn's Warriors on YouTube.
Do you know what's going on right now in her world?
I don't want to say her ecosystem.
I don't say that.
But in her world, she negotiates and she deals with the best and the brightest, the best minds when it comes to stopping and dealing with and trying to attack child predation and the like.
But the people who are sifting through the Epstein files, wow.
