So Erica Kirk cancelled her recent appearance at the TPUSA event in Athens,
Georgia. Not the Greek Athens, the American Athens. Not the Georgia country, the state Georgia. And she
canceled it because she was scared for her safety. Yep. She tweeted, "I was so looking forward to tonight's event at
the University of Georgia with our vice president JD Vance, but after all our family has been through, I take my security team's recommendations
extremely seriously. Thank you to our amazing Georgia chapter for your support. God bless you all. Yeah, I want to show you a few things regarding that.
Candace's response to this situation,
Jans's statement on stage or a bit of a rant, actually the fact that the venue they hosted the event at was nearly
empty. So, we suspect she canceled her appearance because she was afraid of the humiliation. But I also want to bring up all those times when Erica was asked if she was taking death threats seriously.
If she and Charlie were afraid of them because her answer was always no. She was trusting God on this one. They didn't live in fear. Well, suddenly she
lives in fear of empty stadiums. Candace Owens responded to Erica's tweet. Stop.
[Candace] This is exhausting. You pulled out because of bad ticket sales. For the same reason, Tippy Faith had to reschedule the pastor's summit and various other events quietly. People don't believe you, and don't line up for you, because you struggle to tell the truth about even the most basic facts. Where is the video of Charlie appointing you as CEO weeks before his death? The Secret Service sits above your security team. Was there actually a viable threat? If so, the vice president would not have continued the event. Your closest threat is the
public relations team you hired, that continues to operate under the delusion that they are smarter than the public. They aren't.
Woohoo. Gloves are off. Battle bun is on. Candace is sick of the act. We are sick of the act. By the way, I will show you videos from the event. There are so many onx at the moment showing empty seats. It's crazy. But first, let me read to you Baron Coleman's tweet. It's
a screenshot of a message he received from someone who was at the Athens event. Here it is.
Went to TBSA event in Athens, Georgia with JD Vance. Erica was supposed to be interviewing Vance. Colvet came out and announced Erica was receiving threats, so she didn't come. Insinuated it was because of Candace and folks like you, Baron. Worth noting secret service was there for JD on top of countless state troopers. So probably the safest place to speak in America right now. Extremely effing cringe and awkward. Colvet tried to milk it and it wasn't landing. Place was empty. 1,200 people at most. Pretty wild considering POTUS was there, and it was an arena.
Very low energy. I went to the TOSA urban tour event prior to Candace and you investigating, and it was completely packed, like a rock concert. That energy is gone. JD did well once the topic shifted away from attacks on Erica. Candace's response to this: Please spare us the paid influencer campaign to convince us that Erica's life was at risk from from empty seats. Just this one time, please, oh, please spare us, Turning Point. We are all begging Turning Point USA to give up at this point. Just tell the truth. Just spare yourself the humiliation. If the stakes weren't so high, it would be funny.
Okay, so here is the stadium what it looked like just minutes before the
event started. Here it is. Completely. And do you remember those events at the beginning of Erica when she would be speaking? It was like a rock concert, full stadium, the memorial. Do you remember what Tyler Boyer said? Oh, Charlie, you had a dream to fill up a stadium with TPUSA event. Well, here you are. Your dream came true. It's like Charlie has a major FOMO now.
Anyway, here is another video. Pathetic attendance. People started speculating online that the fear for her life excuse was just that, an excuse, and she was actually embarrassed to take the stage where there were so few people at the event. Or maybe she was afraid to answer some difficult questions. Some
people commented, "Safe enough for the VP of the USA, but not Erica Kirk.
Something's fishy." And this one, "She receives threats so she won't get on stage, but our VP does. That makes no sense. Safe for VP, not safe for Erica."
Okay. Anyway, Candace Owens wasn't done on X guys. And our least favorite of this game's characters decided to bum p into Blake Neff. So here it is. Candace goes. Erica Kirk pulled out of her event last minute with Vice President Vance citing threats. This is PR horse Obviously she was on it guys last night. She was fed up. He is now doing the event alone at the University of Georgia. What do we think is the real reason she pulled out?
And here comes Blake Nef. Back when you lied about being eager to meet us in person anytime, any place, you made up
multiple fake ass plots as an excuse first to not come to our Phoenix studio and then to not come to Phoenix at all.
You're the last person with any credibility to accuse others of faking threats. Why do they let him speak at all ever? This is such a
misrepresentation of what actually happened. tragic constitution did us all a favor and answered to him. That's a
lie, Blake. She couldn't attend in person that day because of short notice and plans for her husband's birthday.
Also, despite the actual credible ass plot on her life, unlike Erica's, she still tried to reschedu and you guys acted petty AF like the little girl you
are and basically told her to pound sand. Don't make me pull the clips because I will. Okay, so what happened when Erica decided to not show up? Well,
as always, Andrew Kovette to the rescue.
He took the stage with the vice president and started with questions about Erica and what JD Vance thinks of what's been happening. Take a listen.
I I just think about that moment and where she was so broken. And any of you know who anybody anybody who's greed
before is is is you kind of go from just crestfallen and sad and then you want to remember the person that you just lost
and there's just this constant flood of emotions, right? Right? At one moment you're laughing about something they said 2 years ago and another moment you're sobbing because they're not there
anymore. And I thought about that moment a lot because Erica told me and that was the first time she had ever you know first time she'd ever told me this and
and I guess I've I thought about it a lot in the context of our own of our own you know my wife's pregnancy. She said I really wish that we had had more babies
together. And that kind of hit me like it's just it. He's gone. That was sort of one of the moments where I realized
Charlie's not coming back here. And you have this this mom who's really sad about the fact that her two little kids may never have memories. I mean, you
think about like a as a father. I I know most of you out there are too young to have have kids, but one of the things that you think about as a father is I want my kids to remember this moment,
right? I want my I want my six-year-old to remember when I took him to the zoo or you know my six-year-old son was just baptized on Easter Sunday and I want him
to remember that moment with me and that's thank you. But so Erica's struggling with this and of course that's terrible, unspeakable. Most of us
cannot even put ourselves in her shoes while at the same time you know she's trying to make sure that Charlie's legacy doesn't die. And in that context,
everybody is attacking her over everything and they're lying about her.
And it's one of the most disgraceful things that I've ever seen in public life. And I've seen a lot of crazy stuff in my life as a as a political leader.
And I will tell you that the people who tell you I was there with her. I was holding her hand. My wife was hugging
her while we loaded Charlie's body onto Air Force 2 and said the Lord's Prayer.
The people telling you that Erica wasn't grieving her husband are full of And we need to be honest about that fact.
People pretend they don't remember what happened right at the beginning when Charlie was taken out. My first thought was about his wife and kids. I cried for them. I cried for her. Most of us did.
The whole world rushed to her side to support her through this tragedy to try to somehow soften the blow of this enormous loss. Nobody, even if we
thought she was a bit weird, nobody questioned the fact that she was grieving, just that she was grieving differently, but it's seven months later and we can't unlearn what we've learned.
We can't unhear what we've heard. So yelling at the crowd, basically saying, "Stop questioning Erica's behavior. Believe me when I say she's for real,"
is not going to work, Mr. Vice President. What would work? answering every single question that has been asked about her shady behavior,
relationships, decisions prior and post Charlie's unaliving. Thank you. Also, if someone has to go through mental
gymnastics and explain someone's behavior and really really stretch it and really really prove it that this person is like that because they're
grieving. Maybe that's not normal either. When when you become a public figure, the natural thing, and I've I've talked to Erica about this privately, is
a ton of crazy people say a ton of things about you that simply aren't true. But the thing that makes it so egregious with Erica, is that she's a
grieving person who's trying to carry on her husband's legacy. And look, we all do things that are wrong. If you want to, you know, criticize Turning Point
USA for not taking this position or having this political disagreement or maybe it should do this or that, that's all above board. But to say that Erica
Kirk wasn't grieving her husband on that day. To say that Erica Kirk was somehow complicit in it is so preposterous and
so disgusting. And it's one of the things that has broken, I think, the American public conversation over the last six months there. I mean, you know,
Andrew, we could talk about this for a long time. Charlie's absence, I felt it so many times in so many different ways.
There have been so many times where I wanted to call Charlie and say, "Man, you've got to call this person or, "Man,
you've got to put this event together so we can help this candidate or or just to bounce ideas off of as a friend." There have been so many ways in which I felt
that void. But one of the ways in which I felt that void is that it's like the response to Charlie Kirk dying the the
response to Charlie Kirk getting by a left-wing furry lover is the response should have been let's go after
left-wing violence and terrorism. Let's defund the networks of left-wing violence and terrorism. That's what we've been doing in Washington DC and that's what we've been fighting for
every single day. you know, S Savannah Hernandez, of course, was assaulted in Minnesota a couple days ago. I talked to Cash Pat Mattel on the way down here and
I said, I assume that we're doing something here and he said, "Yes, we've had multiple agents on the ground. We've already talked to Savannah. We're going to use the video to try to go after the
people who assaulted her and then try to defund the networks that fund those radicals who are going around assaulting activists. That's what we should be doing."
Wait, is JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, trying to taint the jury?
Did he just basically say that Tyler Robinson is guilty even before the preliminary hearing? What is this BS?
Guilty until proven innocent all the way to White House. Insane.
But if you're going after Erica Kirk and not the people who are trying to destroy the United States of America, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Yeah. Amen. I I think that's really well said, Mr.
Vice President. And I always try and remember that Erica has to live with this constant reality that her kids are
one parent away from being orphans. And so we take that extremely seriously. And as you mentioned what happened with Savannah and I think it's just important
that we remember that we're dealing with humans. These are human beings. Um yeah I I I you know exactly I've heard some
people say well you know Erica was smiling 2 days after Charlie Kirk died or something like that. And it's like,
have most of us in this room have grieved somebody that we loved. You know, maybe hopefully not a spouse who
dies in the prime of their life, but when you deal with somebody who's grieving, it's always this weird combination of emotions. It's intense
sadness, intense affection. It's, you know, you you sort of love that person in that moment, maybe maybe more than you ever have because you feel their
absence. You think about all the happy moments that you had and you can't help but smile and then you remember they're not there and you can't help but so that's what grief is like. And so again,
if your instinct is to go after not the left-wing radicals who are assaulting Savannah or not the people who shot
Charlie Kirk, but if your instinct is to go after a a young mother because she's grieving in a way that you find in a you
you find wrong, well, why don't you stay in your lane and mind your own business? Yeah. Amen.
Grief is complicated and I just absolutely grief is complicated.
Everyone grieavves differently. We all know that and nobody said you're not allowed to smile when you're grieving.
Obviously when you will be remembering your husband and nice moments with him,
you will smile and then probably that will make you cry as well and then maybe go into hysterics and then you will start hysterically laughing again.
That's what happens. When my grandma died, all our family sat down together at the table and we would tell funny stories about her and we would laugh and we would cry. That's how it works. Okay,
we know that. Nobody needs to explain it to anybody. But still, for the widow to
sit down and say, "I am so excited. I am so excited." It's it feels weird to say,
but I'm so excited. You know, that's different. or being like it's a Charlie
is so happy with Jesus looking down at us making sales. It's a blessing in
itself. You know, all the merch we It's weird. That's weird. And if Erica's
grieving was so normal, everything she does, why does it need to be defended by Vice President of the United States?
Guys, it needs to be explained and dissected just so you guys understand that whatever Erica is doing is fine.
15 minutesYou know, it's normal.
Vice President said so. Don't read into it. The thing is, it seems to me like JD is a bit behind with the information
here because people are not talking about Erica grieving wrong or weird or not grieving at all anymore. This is old
news. This is irrelevant now. There has been so many lies. She was caught in. So many inconsistencies, so many shady
things that came to the light. Nobody cares about if she's grieving or not.
What we care about now are facts. The audience of this telenova evolved. We are watching true crime in real life
now, not some Esmeralda. I shared Baron's tweet and wrote my own response to this whole thing. Here it is. But I
thought Erica and Charlie weren't afraid of threats like that. Erica said that the the only thing she's afraid of is not being aligned with God's will. What
changed? Let me remind everyone what exactly she's been saying. And when I first saw those articles and clips of her, I told you guys they talk as if
they were aware that one day it will be a movie. And they want everything they say to be iconic, legendary, dramatic.
Let's start with Megan Kelly stage interview.
We always we see the thing is is that I guess we just operate differently. We always knew there were threats. We always knew that there were people out
there that hated us with deep, deep passion of hate. But it didn't scare us.
Never. He was never afraid of that.
Neither was I. Obviously, we pro protect our children, you know, we we don't show their faces on the internet, so that's
very intentional. But I think we lived our life in such a way where
if that was our last day, it was our last day. Like we always lived as if it was the last day. That's why Charlie's speeches were so good.
They were so good.
They weren't afraid, guys. They weren't afraid. What is your problem? Another one. Do you feel safe? What are they going to threaten me with?
Going to heaven sooner to be with my husband. And I don't say that to be reckless. I do not I do not say that because I'm out in the streets like here I am. Come find me. And it's not at all.
It's it's it's a fearlessness that's rooted in the understanding that I will have my day and my time whenever that is when the
Lord knows that it's I've completed my my mission. And I'm not afraid. Charlie
wasn't afraid either. We never lived in fear. If we did, we wouldn't get anything done. Well, you didn't get that event in Athens done.
So true. Maybe now you can start talking like a real human being instead of performing something you don't fully believe in. Of course, you'd be afraid
after what happened to your husband. Of course, you'd have this new sense of responsibility that you need to stay safe and alive as the only parent your kids have left. Why not just say that?
That doesn't mean you believe in God any less, but we have free will. You can either be cautious and not go to a
dangerous park at night or you can go there as soon as it's dark and say, "God will protect me. See what happens."
These interviews were conducted after she lost her husband. So, it's not like she wasn't afraid until it happened to Charlie. No, she still claimed she
wasn't afraid or at least she said so after he was taken out. And this is another example, you guys, that it was
all an act from the start, part of the script where she was supposed to be that heroic widow stepping in for her husband
and leading the free speech revol revolution. Well, it all is kind of falling apart now, isn't it? And I love
how people on her side took all these threads seriously. Everyone is defending her. All the news channels are now
telling the story how Erica Kirk because of Candace Owens and people like her was forced to cancel her event and not come
and speak in real life because of the threats because she was afraid for her safety. Okay. But when Candace received
her threads, crickets making fun of her. But as usual, I want to know what you guys think. Do you believe the only reason Erica didn't
make an appearance in Athens was because she was genuinely fearing for her life?
Or did it have to do more with the pathetic attendance and she was trying to avoid embarrassment? Maybe it was another PR stunt orchestrated by Andrew
Kvet. Let me know in the comments. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to like and share it. And if you haven't yet, please subscribe to my channel.
