Case 3:25-cv-01756-IM Document 56 Filed 10/04/25 Page 1 of 31
PAGE 2 – OPINION AND ORDER
IMMERGUT, District Judge.
This case involves the intersection of three of the most fundamental principles in our
constitutional democracy. The first concerns the relationship between the federal government
and the states. The second concerns the relationship between the United States armed forces and
domestic law enforcement. The third concerns the proper role of the judicial branch in ensuring
that the executive branch complies with the laws and limitations imposed by the legislative
branch. Whether we choose to follow what the Constitution mandates with respect to these three
relationships goes to the heart of what it means to live under the rule of law in the United States.
On June 7, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued a Memorandum broadly authorizing
the federalization of National Guard service members under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, without
specifying a designated location or duration. This Memorandum authorized federalized troops to
temporarily protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) and other federal
employees “who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law,
and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring
or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations.” Declaration
of Major General Timothy L. Rieger (“Rieger Decl.”), Ex. D, ECF 37 at 20.
In the wake of this June 7, 2025 Memorandum, protests ensued at the ICE facility in
Portland. From June 11th to June 25th, these protests included violent behavior and required an
increased law enforcement presence by both the Portland Police Bureau (“PPB”) and federal law
enforcement agencies. After June 25, 2025, however, the protests were generally peaceful in
nature with only sporadic incidents of violence and disruptive behavior. By late September, these
protests typically involved twenty or fewer people.
Case 3:25-cv-01756-IM Document 56 Filed 10/04/25 Page 2 of 31
PAGE 3 – OPINION AND ORDER
On September 27, 2025, President Trump posted a message on his Truth Social account
stating that he was directing Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, to provide troops to protect
“War ravaged Portland” from “Antifa, and other domestic terrorists” and authorizing “Full
Force, if necessary.” Declaration of Assistant Attorney General Brian Marshall (“Marshall
Decl.”), Ex. 12, ECF 9-12 at 2. In response, on September 28th, Secretary Hegseth issued a
memorandum authorizing the deployment and federalization of 200 of Oregon National Guard
service members, over the objection of Oregon’s Governor, Tina Kotek.
That same day, the State of Oregon and the City of Portland (collectively, “Plaintiffs”)
brought this lawsuit against President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, the Secretary of Homeland
Security Kristi Noem, and the U.S. Departments of Defense and Homeland Security
(collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants’ actions are ultra vires1 and
therefore unlawful because they violate 10 U.S.C. § 12406, the Posse Comitatus Act, and 10
U.S.C. § 175 by federalizing Oregon’s National Guard. Plaintiffs also allege that Defendants’
conduct violates the Tenth Amendment and the separation of powers doctrine by infringing on
Oregon’s state sovereignty and police powers. Finally, Plaintiffs assert that Secretary Hegseth’s
Memorandum violates the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) because it is not in accordance
with the law, is in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or limitations, and is arbitrary and
capricious.
Plaintiffs move for a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) and stay of Defendants’
September 28, 2025, Memorandum ordering the federalization and deployment of Oregon
1 Ultra vires actions allow courts to adjudicate “constitutional challenges to presidential
acts” and “actions by subordinate Executive Branch officials that extend beyond delegated
statutory authority.” Murphy Co. v. Biden, 65 F.4th 1122, 1128–29 (9th Cir. 2023) (first
citing Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 790–91 (1992); then citing Larson v. Domestic
& Foreign Com. Corp. 337 U.S. 682, 689–90 (1949)).
Case 3:25-cv-01756-IM Document 56 Filed 10/04/25 Page 3 of 31
PAGE 4 – OPINION AND ORDER
National Guard service members to Portland. Defendants respond that this Court may not second
guess the President’s determination that conditions in Portland warranted a federal military
response. Defendants also contend that their conduct did not violate the U.S. Constitution or any
statutory provision or exceed their statutory authority.
This Court has considered the briefing and declarations submitted in this case, the
submission of amici, and the presentation of the parties at the hearing on Plaintiffs’ TRO on
October 3, 2025. For the foregoing reasons, this Court finds that Plaintiffs have met their burden
at this stage of the litigation and GRANTS Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order.

Trump issues INSANE update on military deployments | Another Day

OMG: Trump issues INSANE update on military deployments



Transcript

The Trump administration makes more
excuses to go to war with Democrat-led
cities. Their top excuse still remains
because we want to. This is just another
day.

While the government may currently be
shut down, the president has kindly
decided to come to work in an effort to
inform the nation on how horrible some
of our cities are.

You look at what's happened with
Portland over the years. It's it's a
burning hell hole. And then you have a
judge that lost her way that tries to
pretend that uh like there's no problem.
Actually, she's not even saying that.
There's a huge problem in Portland. I'll
tell you what the problem is. Crime.
Okay. Crime. It's a huge problem in
Chicago. It's called crime. It's
probably worse than almost any city in
the in the world. You can go to
Afghanistan. You can go to a lot of
different places and they probably
marvel at how much crime we have.

That's exactly what's going on. You
know, the way Americans watch is it cake
and marvel at the talents of these
bakers. That's how everyone in
Afghanistan feels about Chicago. They
just can't believe what they're seeing.

And frankly, neither can some local
American journalists. You are watching
as Broadview police respond to a 911
call claiming someone was tampering with
a gate at the ICE detention facility
there.

Good. We got a call of subjects trying
to climb over the fence or something.

Uh, not since we've been here.

But when police arrive, all they find is
two people and a camera. Our CBS
photographer filming the exterior of the
building with a CBS security guard by
his side. The 911 call claiming someone
was tampering with the gate came from an
ICE agent. According to this incident
report, an ICE agent called police for
help.

Look, I'm not saying that there's no
justification whatsoever for ICE to be
in these cities. I'm simply saying that
prank calling 911 is a crucial part of
the law enforcement pipeline that we
should not overlook.

Now, one of the big
complaints from this administration has
been the lack of cooperation from city
and state officials, which does feel a
little rude considering Donald Trump
spent all that time not calling those
governors before he decided to invade.
Sorry, uh, save their states. But that
was then, and this is now. And let's
just say things have gotten so bad, some
members of Homeland Security are
themselves.

No, you cannot.

We can. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Interesting. Uh, that's what Governor Pritzker says
is cooperation and keeping people safe.

Look, I know that this might simply seem
like an incident where local Chicago
officials are taking out their
frustrations on Secretary Noem for
having her ICE agents infiltrate their
towns and target residents in a racially
divisive manner. But there's actually
something much larger at play here, and
that is Kristi Noem is renowned for
destroying a toilet. When her stomach
starts rumbling, her staff whispers,
"Here comes the department of horrific
shits." She's like Jeff Daniels from
Dumb and Dummer on a good day. After
she's done with it, they call her
bathroom stall no man's land. I think
you get the idea.

But that's Chicago.
Trump has had his sights set on another
evil territory in the Northwest.
There's just one problem.
President Trump's push to send National
Guard troops into more American cities
facing new push back.

In Portland,
Oregon, overnight, where protests are
underway, a federal judge blocked the
Trump administration's move to send
National Guard troops from California or
any other state into the city. Figures.
You know, these damn liberal judges. I
mean, they might as well just be Antifa
at this point.

You know, it's so sad
when lefty administrations stack the
courts just so they can impede any
progress by a later administration.
I'm sorry, what's that? The judge who
was appointed by Trump, saying the
administration's description about chaos
in Portland is simply untethered to the
facts, and the president likely exceeded
his authority under the Constitution, was appointed by Trump?
Whoops. Well, that's just the opinion of
one specific woman in a position of
authority. I mean, isn't the more
important question, what does one random
woman on TV think?

There was one woman, and she was great
today. She said, "You know what? I don't
care if it's a National Guard, the Army,
the Marines, the Air Force. I don't care
who comes in as long as we're safe." And
that's the way most of the public feels.

And isn't that really the way we should
be running our country off of anecdotes?
I mean, forget judges and laws and facts
and let's start sending troops to cities
based on whatever random Tik Tok account
gets shoved in front of Donald Trump's
face before he conducts another press
conference.

One of the biggest issues
here is that while there are facts as to
what's really going on in cities like
Chicago and Portland, not all of us feel
these facts the same as was illustrated
today by Prince Charming.

If you
can't see that since we've taken office,
there has been an organized, systematized
campaign to delegitimize, dehumanize,
threaten, impede, obstruct, and
physically assault ICE officers in the
conduct of their duties, then I can't
persuade you of it because you're
choosing not to see what's right in
front of your face.

Hey, what a fun twist on the if you're
too stupid to understand it, I can't
help you routine. I mean, my god, that
is some next level gaslighting. I
haven't seen balls like that since
Netflix debuted that new Horton show.

But Miller wasn't done being his most
delightful self. He saved some of that
for his CNN interview where he was asked
about the validity of ICE agents
specifically targeting black and brown
people.

We cannot have a system of law in this
country that privileges illegal aliens
over American citizens. And that's what
they're doing. You know it and I know
it.

So that's not exactly a no.

Stephen,
can you just unequivocally say,

I said it was a dumb question. Okay.

Well, I appreciate that, but it's a dumb
question -

So no, this policy is not designed --
When I said it was a dumb question, it
meant no.

Hello. What part of I'm a condescending asshole
didn't you understand? Still not
getting it? Let me give you another
taste.

When in our history have we tolerated
unlawful riotist assemblies night after
night around FBI buildings or ATF
buildings or DEA buildings? This is the
textbook definition of domestic
terrorism. Using the actual and imminent
threat of violence to keep federal
officials from doing their jobs.

Well, when you're referring to people
tolerating unlawful attacks on a
government building, one specific date
comes to mind. [Jan 6] I got to say, while it
may be entertaining, I don't think CNN's
new show is going to run for very long.

The reality is, with Donald Trump
ignoring judges and sending California
troops to Portland, and Texas troops to
Chicago, the president is pitting
Americans against each other in a real
life version of the Hunger Games,
pitting district against district in an
effort to distract from the criminality
of the capital. When we watch it as a
movie, there is never a shred of doubt
as to who the villains are. No one ever
watches President Snow and thinks, "Hey,
what a solid guy, cleaning up those
districts so that people can finally get
out to eat in Panam again. Thank god
those Antifa members are being dealt
with."

And yet, when the same thing
happens in real life, suddenly Trump's
White House wants you to believe that
actually rooting for the capital to
quash dissent and use its power to
invade the cities, is something that is
just and noble and definitely not the
plot of a massive franchise that's
grossed over three billion dollars
worldwide.

If the courts allow you to
ultimately send in the National Guard
into Chicago and Portland, do Democrats
not have reason to be concerned that
there are long-term plans
by this administration to keep US
military or the National Guard in
American cities, like what we are seeing
here in Washington?

Why should they be concerned about the
federal government offering help to make
their cities a safer place?

"Why would people be afraid they're being
poisoned when the president is simply
offering them a delicious liquid to
quench their thirst?" But I apologize,
Mi'lady, for the crude interruption. Please
continue.

And the president, all he's trying to do
is fix it. And there has been a complete
smear campaign by the Democrats and the
media. Quite frankly, I was reading
Political Playbook this morning, one of
the most inside the beltway newsletters
you can find. And and you guys are
framing this like the president wants to
take over the American cities with the
military.

"You guys are framing this like
the president wants to take over
American cities with the military
merely because the president is trying to take
over American cities with the military.

The truth is over and over again we are
watching a president callously sweep
laws under the rug while he willfully
pits citizens against each other under
some ridiculous guise that he's saving
our country. And for any skeptics out
there who aren't seeing what everyone
else is,

I can't persuade you of it
because you're choosing not to see
what's right in front of your face.

Flotilla Activists RIP Israel For Abusive Treatment
The Young Turks
Oct 6, 2025



70-year-old Margaret Pacetta and famed humanitarian activist Greta Thunberg allege that they were abused by the IDF while being detained. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks

Transcript

Ben-Gvir taunts flotilla detainees
[Music]
Even though Israel's national security
minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is a literal
convicted terrorist. He accused
humanitarians who were detained as part
of the global sim flotillaa as being as
such. Now in reality, the 137 activists
who were detained by Israel were
actually seeking to deliver humanitarian
aid to Palestinians in Gaza who are
still intentionally being starved to
death. And uh some of the detainees have
spoken out about the torturous
conditions imposed by the Israelis after
Detainee recounts horrible conditions in Israeli prison
they were uh you know taken captive by
the Israeli government, including
70-year-old Margaret uh Pacetta, who's
from Scotland. Take a listen to what she
had to say about the conditions in the
prison that she was sent to.
That prison was awful. Oh, I bet it was.
Wow. In a jail. Yeah. No, no water.
my broken leg. The beginning said to me,
"I bumped your leg." I said, "It's
broke." She slammed a metal door on it.
Sorry. No.
Oh my god. Horrible. Horrible.
So, that 70-year-old woman you just
heard from has a broken leg and she
claims uh that the Israelis slammed a
metal door on her broken leg as she was
in detention. Now, uh, two others who
were part of the flotillaa said that,
uh, Swedish activist Greta Tunberg, uh,
who was in Israeli custody but no longer
is, uh, was also mistreated during her
Greta Thunberg abused in prison
detention. Uh, Haz Hazwani Helme, a
Malaysian citizen, and Winfield Beaver,
an American citizen, told Reuters at the
airport that they had witnessed Tunberg
being mistreated, saying that she was
shoved and forced to wear an Israeli
flag. Uh 28-year-old Helme said that
detainees were not being given clean
food or water uh and that their
medications and belongings had been
confiscated. It was a disaster. They
treated us like animals. Beaver said
Tunberg was treated terribly and used as
propaganda, describing how she was
pushed into a room as national security
minister Bengavir arrived. Now, an
official who visited Tunberg in prison
claimed that she was being held in a
cell infested with bed bugs and had no
food or little food and water. And then
earlier today, uh, Greta was released
from detention and deported to Greece
where she confirmed that she was in fact
subjected to abuses, but didn't go into
detail. Take a look. I could talk for a
very very long time about our
mistreatment and abuses in our
imprisonment, trust me. But that is not
the story. What happened here was that
Israel, while continuing to worsen and
escalate their genocide and mass
destruction with genocidal intent,
attempting to erase an entire
population, an entire nation in front of
our very eyes. Now, as you can imagine,
that looks pretty embarrassing for the
Israeli government to basically torture
humanitarians who are just trying to
break the siege of Gaza and get
humanitarian aid to people who are
intentionally being starved to death.
And so, as a result, uh the Israelis
have denied that these individuals have
been mistreated. The foreign ministry
described reports that detainees had
been mistreated as complete lies. But
apparently uh Ben Gave didn't get the
memo that he's supposed to spout this
Ben-Gvir celebrates mistreatment of detainees
specific lie and instead said something
uh counter to what the uh Israeli
foreign ministry said. In fact, he says
anyone who supports terror is a
terrorist, referring to the
humanitarians on the flotilla as
terrorists and deserves the conditions
of terrorists. And that statement came
after reports that Tunberg uh was
mistreated. By the way, uh Ben Gavir
said he quote took pride in the fact
that we treat the flotillaa activists as
terror supporters. Again, itar Bengavir
is a literal convicted terrorist. But
let me continue. He also said, quote,
"They should feel what the conditions in
Ketat prison are like and think twice
before approaching Israel again. That's
how it works.
So, I'm going to go ahead and take Ben
Gavver's word for it. Uh, because what
he's saying is consistent with the way
the Israeli government has been
behaving. So, Jen, what are your
thoughts?
Uh, every Israeli accusation is a
confession. So, as he's sitting there
pointing at them going, they are
terrorists, terrorists. What he's saying
is, first of all, he is, as Anna pointed
out, a convicted terrorist.
And uh but mainly what he's saying is I
want you to do terrorism on them. I want
you to terrorize them. I want you to
drag them by the hair. I want you to
slam their legs. I want you to treat
them like they're Palestinians.
Well, in a sense, thank you. Because
then the world sees better how you treat
Palestinians.
And so now that they're doing it to
Europeans, people are seeing it with
their own eyes and they're, "Oh, that's
a little grandmother from Scotland who's
got a broken leg and you're going to
slam a door into it." Well, what do you
think they've been doing to Palestinian
grandmothers for two years straight?
Other than, of course, blowing their
heads off when they drop a bomb on them
or lighting them on fire when they drop
a bomb on them. What do you think
they've been doing to Palestinian
children? They've been slaughtering them
one by one or a hundred at a time. What
do you think happens when they drop
bombs? So this is so I love the
flotillaa because they're putting a
spotlight where it needs to be and
they're showing the world the disgusting
terrorist Benavir and the disgusting
terrorist government of Israel, the
current government of Israel and how
they do their terrorism. So yeah, that's
how they treat Palestinians on a daily
basis because they think they're uber
mesh, that they are superior and the
Palestinians are subhuman. And so he's
saying, "Look, even though they look
white, even though they are European,
you should treat them like we treat the
Palestinians like subhumans, terrorists.
If you're still defending this Israeli
government, you lost your moral threat
at some point. You You just lost it.
You're so blinded and biased. You're
like, "No, starving the children is a
good thing. That's what the moral army
would do." 87 87. So like, I got it. I
got it. But the rest of the world sees
it clear as day. And the flotilla is
Khanna tries to get American home
just yet another example. And by the
way, and I don't know if you know this
part of the story, Roan has been trying
to um get in touch with a Jewish
American who's a from California who's
part of the flirtillaa. And Israel's
like, "Shut up." For a long time, they
would not even respond. And then he he's
asking our government, Marco Rubio, can
you please find out the whereabouts of
the American citizen there? And Marco
Rubio, no response. Cuz the American
government,
yeah, they don't care about us. They
don't care about us. No.
Are you kidding me? No. We're just pay
pigs for that foreign government. They
don't care about us. Marco Rubio is a
disgusting hack. Did you know that Marco
Rubio was vetted by Oracle founder Larry
Ellison as he was running for the
Republican primary in 2015? Homeboy was
literally sharing his presidential
speeches with Larry Ellison for
approval. It's disgusting. Forget about
that. For Hold on. Hold on. Forget about
that. and we got to move on because I
just want to give you one point of
victory here. It's a small thing, but we
got to take the wins where we can get it
because the Israeli authorities were so
obsessed and so preoccupied with uh
detaining and terrorizing the
humanitarians on the flotilla that it
actually freed up a an opportunity for
Palestinians able to fish
the Palestinians to do something they've
been banned from doing. Fish for food.
Palestinians in Gaza can't fish for food
because if they do, Israeli authorities
shoot and kill them. And because they
were preoccupied, the Palestinians that
you just saw in that video were able to
fish. I just wanted to share that with
you.
Yeah. No, no. So that that's actually
super important because almost no one
knows about it. As usual, American media
is like, "Oh, I can't criticize Israel."
Israel's been purposely intentionally
murdering the fishermen of Gaza. And you
why the fishermen? Because then they
would be able to feed the population and
they want to starve the population. So
they shoot the fisherman in the head.
That's why, oh, they're distracted.
Let's go fish for a second without the
IDF murdering us. So the IDF is
obviously a terrorist organization. It's
the biggest terrorist organization in
the world right now. It murders
civilians on purpose way more than Hamas
does. That's a fact based on IDF
numbers. Uh 83% civilian kill ratio.
They intentionally murder fishermen.
They treat Palestinians as subhuman.
Israel has lost its way. If you care
about Israel, you need to stop defending
these atrocities and try to get them out
of the morass that they're in. But I
know everybody's blind and can't see. I
got to say one last thing about the
Marco Rubio. We did cover that on
Friday's show. You should check out that
video. And Drop Site News is doing
brilliant work. and Kate, if we can,
let's drop their article about that
story in the description box uh down
below on YouTube because not only did uh
Larry Ellison vet Marco Rubio on behalf
of Israel, this is back in the 2016
election, and then he went said sent a
note back to the Israeli ambassador. He
has been vetted. He will be friendly to
Israel. He then sent him a $5 million
check through a super PAC. That's not
even among the 1 million that Marco
Rubio took from Apac. And then if you
say that out loud, American media goes,
"How dare you say things that are true?
Don't you know the job of the media is
to bury the truth on behalf of Israel?"
Trope. No, he's actually doing it. The
Israeli lobby is actually buying off
almost all of our politicians so that
that we will ignore the atrocious
genocide that that terrorist government
is committing right now.

IDF Soldiers Break Down Over Gaza Atrocities
The Young Turks
Oct 4, 2025 #TheYoungTurks #BreakingNews #TYT

Israeli soldiers are suffering from mental illnesses from the genocide in Gaza. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks



Transcript

[Music]
You're watching Israeli soldiers dump
piles of psychiatric medications on the
table during a Knesset subcommittee
meeting on mental health. The
medications included fentinyl and other
drugs that soldiers have resorted to as
a result of the mental health crisis
they're facing due to their role in the
ongoing genocide in Gaza. and they argue
that the Israeli government is not
providing enough support to keep them
sane. Now, I think anyone that has a
conscience would um struggle with the
slaughter of innocents uh that continues
to happen in the Gaza Strip at the hands
of the IDF. Um, and so this has taken a
toll not only on the innocent civilians
in the Gaza Strip, but it's apparently
taking a toll on the mental health of
the IDF soldiers who interrupted and
protested uh during this Knesset
subcommittee meeting. Now, this has led
to suicides among soldiers. According to
figures cited by Channel 12, at least 12
soldiers have died by suicide so far in
2025. A figure that does not even
include reservists not on active duty at
the time of their deaths. So the number
is actually um an underestimate. It's
actually higher. So in 2024 uh 21
soldiers died by suicide, the highest
annual toll in over a decade. In 2023,
the figure stood at 17, including seven
following Hamas's October 7th assault,
most of them reserveists.
And despite the absolute destruction
that Netanyahu's genocide on the
Palestinian people has led to um both in
Gaza and in Israel, their economy not
doing so well. Uh you have mass protests
happening on a regular basis. It's
tearing the country apart. He doesn't
care. He doesn't care. his complete and
utter disregard for the hostages should
infuriate and enrage people who were
absolutely enraged after what happened
on October 7th because there's no
indication to me that this current
Israeli government has ever given a damn
about the hostages. They have used the
hostages as a pawn to continue carrying
out um you know the butchering and the
brutalization and you know slaughter of
innocent people in Gaza. And so this
again, what we're seeing with the IDF
soldiers, again, I think has a lot to do
with
the death and destruction they're
carrying out. And an Israeli sniper just
spoke to Harets and admitted to killing
innocent civilians, including children,
who are attempting to get aid in Gaza.
Now, you might be thinking, Anna, isn't
this an old story? No. No. This is a new
one. This is a new story with new IDF
soldiers who are essentially reinforcing
previous reporting from Harets that
indicated that they were ordered to
shoot at starving Palestinians at these
aid hubs that you know for the most part
at this point are run by the um Gaza
Humanitarian Foundation. So, uh let's
get to some of the comments, some of the
statements that they've made uh in this
reporting. So, one IDF soldier says it
started about two months ago. The
soldier who went by the pseudonym Benny
told the Israeli paper as part of a
story focusing on the mental toll on IDF
soldiers in Gaza. Every day we have the
same mission to secure the humanitarian
aid in the northern Gaza Strip. It's
like a game of cat and mouse. They try
to come from a different direction every
time and I'm there with the sniper rifle
and the officers are yelling at me,
"Take him down. Take him down." I fire
50 to 60 bullets every day. I've stopped
counting kills. I have no idea how many
I've killed. A lot. Children.
So, as angry as the IDF's conduct in the
Gaza Strip makes me, and it does make me
angry, and you guys all know this,
there's some percentage of those
soldiers who have a conscience. And that
conscience is is weighing heavy at the
moment considering how many innocent
people they know they've killed.
Another soldier who went by yonyi shared
a story about killing two children in
beta laia that's in northern Gaza after
one soldier shouted that that terrorists
were approaching. So without even
confirming anything, you know, they
shout terrorist. And at that point,
according to this IDF soldier, I saw the
bodies of two children, maybe eight or
10 years old. I have no idea, there was
blood everywhere, lots of signs of
gunfire. I knew it was all on me that I
did this. I wanted to throw up. After a
few minutes, the company commander
arrived and said coldly, as if he wasn't
a human being, "They entered an
extermination zone. It is their fault.
this is what war is like. So, it doesn't
surprise me at all that the commander
said that because they're pretty
heartless when it comes to the
Palestinian people. They don't really
seem to have any remorse when innocent
people die. In fact, even when they are
responsible for the slaughter of
innocent people, they someway somehow
managed to blame it on Hamas. But
obviously some of these IDF soldiers
know what the truth is and they really
can't stomach the fact that they're
responsible for killing so many innocent
people.
But it keeps happening and there are no
bricks on this car. And again, Netanyahu
just to prove how little he cares about
anyone, including his own people, he is
tearing his own country apart through
his actions, through the continuation of
this genocide in Gaza. He knows that by
bombing Qatar
as ceasefire negotiations are supposed
to take place with the Hamas
negotiators, well, he doesn't want
peace. He literally blew peace
negotiations up because it was never
about getting the hostages back. It was
always about exploiting the atrocities
that took place on October 7th. fact
that those hostages exist to essentially
carry out a political project that
Netanyahu has always wanted, which is
this expansionist greater Israel policy.
And it also allows him to remain in
power at a time when he's facing serious
corruption charges. That's who Netanyahu
is.
So, the ground invasion in Gaza City
continues
already. We know that a ton of innocent
people have died. You know, you have uh
the former chief of staff uh in Israel
opening up about what the death toll
really is. And guess what? Very similar
to the death toll that keeps getting
reported by the Gaza Health Ministry.
You know, the same health ministry that
the Israeli government wants you to
disbelieve because of the fact that
they're run by Hamas.
But then you have this Halevi guy who's
like
he's not remorseful. Let me just be
clear about that. He's just shedding
light on how many people they've killed
and how many people are injured in Gaza.
So, let's put the first graphic up on
this um because I want to read you some
of his uh quotes. Sorry, guys. I don't
know what happened to my papers. I'm a
mess. Uh but he says, "So, the retired
general told a community meeting in
southern Israel earlier this week that
more than 10% of Gaza's 2.2 2 million
population had been killed or injured.
More than 200,000 people.
Again, these are numbers that are very
similar, very similar to what we have
seen reported by the Gaza Health
Ministry. The current official toll is
64,718
Palestinians killed in Gaza and 163,859
injured since the start of the war on
October 7th, 2023. Many thousands more
are feared dead with their bodies burned
in the rubble.
So I guess part of me feels at least
a little bit of relief that there are
still people who feel guilt, who are
able to feel guilt, who are able to see
Palestinians as human beings.
But even IDF soldiers who have been
speaking out and testifying against
Netanyahu, against the Knesset, against
the Israeli government just get ignored.
And it just kind of shows you the level
of brutality
this uh current Israeli government is
willing to carry out.
Every time you ring the bell below, an
angel gets his wings. Totally not true,
but it does keep you updated on our live
shows.

Pro-Israel Influencers Are Getting CALLED OUT
The Young Turks
Oct 6, 2025

Benjamin Netanyahu is handing out big cash to influencers who are pushing pro-Israel propaganda. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks.



Transcript

All Jews are Israelis, even if you
haven't filled out your paperwork just
yet. Because remember, we were a people
first, far before we were ever a
religion. Judaism was just a way of
life, a set of beliefs and traditions
that our nation followed. So that's why
we speak a Seemetic language. That's why
when we pray, we face Jerusalem and our
synagogues are built to face Jerusalem.
Well, that low cut top was certainly a
choice, a very intentional one because
Israeli paid honeypot propagandists, as
I like to think of them, are flooding
social media as Israel attempts to
essentially launder its current image
and reputation as a belligerent and
genocidal regime. Now, let's back up a
little bit because Netanyahu had met
with American influencers after his UN
General Assembly speech. you know that
speech where literally dozens of
international diplomats walked out
because he is um a war criminal. Yeah,
that one. And uh after meeting with with
them, there were some posts uh from the
prime minister of Israel X page saying
that the prime minister met uh a a after
his UN General Assembly speech with
pro-Israel influencers and spoke with
them about the challenges in the new era
and the public diplomacy efforts and the
influence of the social networks on the
discourse for and against Israel. And
during that meeting, he was on camera
and he just openly said, you know, we
got to take over uh Tik Tok and we got
to have a conversation with Elon Musk uh
to do something about X to ensure that
pro-Israel propaganda is being
dispersed. And um those pictures that he
shared actually ended up coming in very
handy because soon after that meeting,
responsible statecraft had reported that
a cohort of American influencers were
getting paid $7,000
per pro-Israel post on social media.
Now, here's one of the influencers who
was in fact present during that meeting
with BB. Uh she goes by Sheay. She
writes, "This is hilarious. I'm all
about America first, but that doesn't
mean America alone."
Yeah.
Are you? I mean, just note that uh her
handle is
Judan CEO.
Really? You're all about America first?
Okay. Um now she says that America first
doesn't mean America alone but um
you know but many feel America would
actually do better uh without its ties
to a genocidal welfare state like Israel
that relies on US taxpayer money uh in
order to do pretty much everything. Uh
plus Israel needed our bombs uh in order
to carry out strikes in Iran. And in her
post, she makes it seem as though Israel
is protecting the United States by
fighting off Iran. Just not true. And
some are smart enough to see what's
going on here. I want to give you some
of the responses to her post, by the
way. Very pretty girl. I'm not going to
deny that. Uh, however, there she is
with uh Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. There she is uh with evidence
that she was in that meeting with BB.
One of my favorite uh things that's now
pretty common on social media in
response to posts like this is that
people are making reference to the
amount of money these influencers are
getting paid per pro-Israel post on
social media. I'll give you a taste of
just two of them. Here's one showing
Netanyahu as a game show host giving
$7,000.
Another person posted plus $7,000.
$7,000 has been deposited into your
account. And there are more examples
which I'll give you in just a minute.
But Jenk, uh, what do you think about
this, you know, honeypot propaganda
scheme? Do you think it's going to win
over the hearts and minds of Americans
who have soured on the Israeli
government?
All right, there's three things here.
Uh, two of them are
one is serious, one is hopeful, one is,
uh, light. So, let's get started. First
of all, uh, this could be basically
characterized as tatas for Israel. Um,
okay. And I guess Netanyahu wants Israel
and America to be bosom buddies. Okay.
Don't be a boob, Jen. Don't be a boob.
We should get Colonel Tata back on here
to discuss it. Anyways, um I I mean
that's guys, you got to realize how
funny that is. Again, this is not a left
or right one at all, right? Israel's
basically going like this to you,
thinking, "Oh, dumb American men. Here,
look at Israeli boobs." Okay. So, now
give us Okay. Like, here, uh, I gave
that chick $7,000. Now you give me $13
billion.
Mhm.
Don't let them rob you. Okay.
And so, so it's But Anna, that leads to
the hopeful part, which is in the old
days, nobody would have caught this.
I've seen them run things like this, not
exactly this at all, but different
propaganda campaigns like hundreds of
times and no one ever, of course,
mainstream media works for them, so that
they're useless. We'll come back to them
in a second. But in the old days, there
was nobody to catch them. Now, I don't
even know if it's right-wingers or
leftwingers who are doing these videos,
right? But they're getting caught all
over the place. They're like, "Oh, yeah,
that's another 7,000 uh the 7,000 club.
I made that up." Okay. Anyway, so and
they're all getting called out and I
love it. I love it when the internet
catches people. Everybody's getting
caught. That's a huge phenomenon. Which
leads us to the last point, which is a
serious one.
So BB in that uh gathering with
influencers, we've shown it to you a
couple times, says, "Okay, we're going
to buy Tik Tok. We're going to get
allies. We're going to influence Elon
Musk to be pro-Israel on X and we're
going to control the media and you're
all getting paid." I mean, he's kind of
like literally like a stripper, right?
Because he's like, "All right, here's
the money." like right and so I don't
know if they threw in a lap dance while
they were at it. Uh and so um and then
you go oh it looks like Israel is
obviously
influencing American media and
mainstream media goes anti-semite. Oh
come on guys. Come on. You can't
complain about a trope if you're doing
the trope and you're announcing it to
the world publicly. Right. We are trying
to control American media. You said it.
I didn't say it.
So
So true. So true. But but look, that was
just a little taste. Okay, we've got
some more honeypot action going on.
Let's talk about something that drives
every business owner absolutely crazy.
Trying to hire the right people. It's
like trying to find a needle in a hay
stack. You post a job and get flooded
with résumés, but most of them don't
have the right skills or experience.
It's a huge hassle, honestly. But not
with Zip Recruiter. Zip Recruiter finds
amazing candidates for you, and they do
it fast. And now you can try it for free
at ziprecruiter.com/tyt.
Now here's why it works. The moment you
post your job, their smart matching
technology gets to work. It's not just
sitting there waiting for people to find
it and apply. It's actively searching
and identifying top qualified talent
that fits your role. It sends them your
way and then it does the hard part of
the hiring for you. But don't worry,
you're still in full control. If you
find a candidate you like, Zip Recruiter
allows you to send a personalized invite
to apply message. It eliminates the
waiting game and gets the right people
to engage with your job posting sooner
rather than later. So ditch the other
hiring sites and let Zip Recruiter find
what you're looking for, the needle in
the haystack. Four out of five employers
who post on Zip Recruiter get a quality
candidate within the first day. Try it
for free at the exclusive web address
ziprecruiter.comtyt.
Again, that's ziprecruiter.com/tyt.
zip recruiter, the smartest way to hire.
I want to give you um another example.
This one is just so crazy and how lazy
the propaganda is that again, you just
have to laugh. So recently, one of these
uh propagandists tried to lie about the
44 boats that made up the Simud Flotilla
that tried to get humanitarian aid to
the Palestinian uh civilians in Gaza.
And luckily, in her attempt to lie about
the humanitarians and what they were
really up to, um she was just so bad at
it that it was easy to debunk her. And I
want you to get a sense of just how lazy
she was. Take a look. So, this Zionist
lady recently tried to expose the Gaza
Freedom flotilla by claiming that the
boats didn't actually have any aid on
them.
Hi everyone, it is Lizzie Sevki. I'm
reporting to you live from Greta's
flotilla where 44 boats were intercepted
yesterday, allegedly bringing aid to
Gaza. Let's go inside. I'll give you a
tour. Margarita machine and some empty
bottles.
Yeah, hold on, lady. Let's take a closer
look at those empty bottles. The labels
on these products are written in Hebrew,
which means they come from Israel. So,
you're telling me that Greta Thunderberg
brought Israeli products from Sweden, or
did you just plant them here so you
could push your dumbass narrative?
$7,000 has been deposited in your
account. She also claims that there was
paraphernalia and needles on the boat,
but I guess they were too lazy to
actually plant any because she never
shows it.
Like, oh, what? Okay, so the are the
humanitarians doing heroin on the boat?
It's just so ridiculous. It really is.
And of course, she was also pictured
with Netanyahu after his uh UN General
Assembly speech. Let's take a look.
There she is right there in the middle.
You'll also notice that Emily Austin is
in the picture. She's another one of
these uh Israeli propagandists. She's
usually on Pierce Morgan's show getting
her ass handed to her. And on October
17th, she'll be on her take. Really
looking forward to having her on the
show. Um, and so by the way, she's also
the one who put out this banger again.
This is Emily Austin. Take a look.
Imagine supporting people who start wars
just to lose the wars so they can cry
about it and then try it all again.
You must see anti-semites are literally
obsessed with Jews. Now walk with me.
While you must see anti-semmites are
stacking eviction notices, Jews are out
here stacking up businesses.
Jews control all the industries. Maybe
if you spent more time taking notes from
successful people, you wouldn't have to
spend your nights and weekends spreading
hate from your anonymous account with an
anime profile picture.
Do you work as hard as Jews? Do you
network like Jews? No, because you're
too busy cheering on a group of musty
terrorists who smell like dirty earring
backs. And if we're going to keep it
real, you're really mad because your
income is giving side hustle.
Period.
How you going to hate from outside
Shabbat? You can't even get in.
That video is supposed to make people
like Israel. Like, who was that for?
That was so bad. And Jen, there's at
least one person, one influencer who at
least had a little bit of self-awareness
to understand I probably am not going to
look good if I'm in this photo of other
US influencers who are getting bought
off by the nation state of Israel. Let's
take a quick look at that gentleman.
Here he is trying to hide behind hide
behind someone. It's so good. It's so
good.
But don't worry, he's going to be
wearing short shorts in his next video.
And he's like, "Oh, look at this ladies
for come and get it for Israel." And
when Emily Austin's getting her ass
handed to her on Piers Morgan, she'll be
like, "Hey everybody, look at it though.
Look at it for Israel. For Israel, my
ass." That video you just showed was so
weird. So it does two things.
It was so embarrassing. Yeah, it was so
cringey. I can't believe they thought
that was a good idea. But please, by all
means, more more do more of that
real well for Israel.
No, but there is one huge problem. As
always, they're conflating the terrible
actions of the Israeli current Israeli
government with all Jews. Don't do that.
That's what drives anti-semitism, right?
So, they're trying they're almost trying
to egg on anti-semitism so they can
complain about it so that they can keep
murdering Palestinians and then go,
"Yeah, anyone who complains is an
anti-semite." I mean, what was that?
That that whole thing of like, haha, the
Jews are the best. We run all the
industries. You better get a lawyer for
us. What was that? How How's that help
you? That's like maniacal. If Candace
Owens put that out, everybody be like,
"Oh my god, it's the most anti-semitic
thing we've ever seen." So, it's these
guys are nuts, man. And yet, I I I'll
never get over it. as we all the entire
world has woken up the the entire
country left right everyone has woken up
to what's Israel is doing and it's so
obvious because they're literally
shoving it in your face their breast
their ass everything right their money
all of it right the politicians in the
media in America 98% of the powerful
people in this country are like what I
don't see it
what's that oh you must be an
anti-semite if you say Israel is doing
propaganda online or in the media
All right. You guys want to ruin your
whole lives, your careers, everything
just so you can kiss the ass that Israel
is offering up.
That's an embarrassing way to go through
life. But hey, you do you,

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF OREGON

STATE OF OREGON; the
CITY OF PORTLAND; and STATE OF
CALIFORNIA,
Plaintiffs,
v.
DONALD TRUMP, in his official capacity as
President of the United States; PETE
HEGSETH, in his official capacity as
Secretary of Defense; U.S. DEPARTMENT
OF DEFENSE; KRISTI NOEM, in her
official capacity as Secretary of Homeland
Security; and U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
HOMELAND SECURITY,
Defendants.

Case No. 3:25-cv-1756-IM

SECOND TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER

[Judge] Mr. Hamilton, let me ask you, how could bringing in federalized National Guard in California not be in direct contravention of the restraining order I issued yesterday?

[Hamilton] The restraining order issued yesterday, paragraph one of it, enjoined implementation of Secretary Hegseth's order to the Oregon National Guard.

[Judge] Mr. Hamilton, you are an officer of the court. Aren't defendants simply circumventing my order which relies on the conditions in Portland? Nothing has changed. There's nothing in my order that has changed.

[Hamilton] No, your honor.

[Judge] So why why is this appropriate?

[Hamilton] Well, the reason is that the California National Guard were federalized under a different presidential memorandum.

[Judge] Mr. Hamilton, you are missing the point, because here it's the conditions on the ground in Oregon that was the basis, that were the basis for my finding that there was not a legal basis to bring federalized National Guard into Oregon. Is there any legal authority for federalizing National Guard for one purpose that is to help California and then to divert them to another purpose in a different state where there's no showing that that is military help that is necessary to assist law enforcement, or to protect law enforcement. or the one federal building here for ICE? Is there any legal authority for what you are doing?

[Hamilton] Well, this section of the US code, section 12406, has not been utilized any time in history. So, there are not many previous precedents from the use of this authority. But --

[Judge] Tell me, why do you think it has not been utilized?

[Hamilton] I can't I I can't speak to that.

[Judge] Mr. Hamilton. So again, if it were the case that you could federalize National Guard in one place, and simply send them to a place where the president doesn't have authority to federalize the National Guard, then what would the purpose of this section of the US code be? You have to have a colorable claim that Oregon conditions require it, but you don't. We have already gone over that. So why is this appropriate?

[Hamilton] Well, again, no additional California Guardsmen were federalized. They were instead relocated from California to the state of Oregon.

[Judge] So are they federalized or are they not?

[Hamilton] They are federalized, but new guardsmen were not federalized. 200 already federalized California Guardsmen were relocated to the state of Oregon.

[Judge] Let me ask you, Mr. Hamilton. You're an officer of the court. Do you believe that this is an appropriate way to deal with my order, or an order that a judge issues, that you disagree with, or is the appropriate mechanism to appeal?

[Hamilton] Well, I I'm not a policy maker, but --

[Judge] You're a lawyer.

Based on this Court’s prior Opinion and Order Granting Plaintiffs’ First Motion for
Temporary Restraining Order, ECF 56; the hearing on Plaintiffs’ Second Motion for Temporary
Restraining Order; and the newly submitted declarations, ECF 60, 63, 65, this Court GRANTS

4. Defendants’ Request to Stay or Administratively Stay this Second Temporary
Restraining Order, which was raised in the hearing on Plaintiffs’ Second Motion for Temporary
Restraining Order, is DENIED.

5. The Court Clerk will contact the parties to schedule a telephone hearing on

People shocked to learn Charlie Kirk’s father’s little-known connection to Donald Trump. Charlie Kirk's family reportedly had a link to Donald Trump way before the two became political allies
by Madison Burgess
Tyla.com

https://www.tyla.com/news/charlie-kirk- ... 7-20250923

It's been revealed that Charlie Kirk's father had a little-known link to none other than Donald Trump himself.

Now, it's no secret that 31-year-old Kirk was a huge fan of the US president and Republican party, but it turns out the connection actually goes back another generation.

The Kirk family were actually tied to Trump, years before the podcaster became famous for his right-wing political views and became publicly allied to the president.

But before we get into that, a reminder for those who aren't up to speed - Kirk was shot dead on 10 September while speaking to a crowd at a university event in Utah.

Just two days later, authorities confirmed they had arrested a suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who has since been charged with seven counts, including aggravated murder.

People are just now finding out there's a link between Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk's father Robert (Mark Wilson/Getty images)

And on Sunday (21 September), the world watched on as thousands of Americans turned up to State Farm Stadium in Arizona for a high-profile memorial service, attended by Trump, JD Vance, and other political figures.

Trump said during his tribute: "He’s a martyr now for America’s freedom.

"I know I speak for everyone here today when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie. And neither now will history."

But, what most people didn't know, is that Kirk's father, Robert W. Kirk, was an architect who helped design Trump Tower - the US president's New York City skyscraper.

Trump Tower, which was built in 1984 and was once the tallest all-glass structure in New York City, houses 263 residences as well as a shopping space and several restaurants and bars.

According to PrimeTimer, Robert graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from the University Oregon in 1976 and the last decades of his career have included senior roles in architectural firms.

But a standout highlight of his career was his reported role as a project architect manager on Trump Tower, creating a link between the families way before his son got involved in politics.

The publication reported that other notable work of Robert's included the Tropicana Hotel and Casino, located in Atlantic City.

Eventually, Robert allegedly became the General Manager of Operations and Chief Design Architect for his own firm.

Meanwhile, Kirk's mother Kathryn was a trader at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and later worked as a mental health counsellor, reports the Independent.

They both stayed out of the spotlight while their son was rapidly rising to fame.

Kirk also left behind his wife Erika, who he tied the knot with in 2021, and their two young children - a daughter born in August 2022 and a son born in May 2024.

During his funeral, Erika, who has been appointed Turning Point USA's new CEO, said in the midst of her grief, she was finding comfort that her husband left this world without regrets.

She also said she 'forgives' the man who is charged with killing him.

"My husband, Charlie, he wanted to save young men, just like the one who took his life," Erika said. "I forgive him."

Charlie Kirk leaked text confirms he was livid about 'bullying' Jewish donors: 'I'm leaving pro-Israel cause'
by Phillip Nieto, US Political Reporter
Daily Mail
Published: 15:33 EDT, 7 October 2025 | Updated: 17:11 EDT, 7 October 2025

Charlie Kirk furiously criticized 'bullying' Jewish donors and said he was considering 'leaving the pro-Israel cause' before his death, it was confirmed today.

The bombshell revelation comes after Candace Owens released a screenshot of Kirk fuming in a group chat that Jewish donors were pulling funding over his links to Tucker Carlson.

Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the authenticity of the screenshots on Tuesday during the latest episode of The Charlie Kirk Show.

https://x.com/villgecrazylady/status/1975602283728830610?s=46

In the text messages, Kirk privately complained that a Jewish donor had withdrawn a $2 million investment into the organization because he refused to disinvite Carlson from the upcoming AmericaFest event.

'Just lost another huge Jewish donor,' Kirk wrote. '$2 million a year because we won't cancel Tucker. I'm thinking of inviting Candace.'

'Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this.'

Kirk concludes: 'Leaving me no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to Turning Point for comment.

Charlie Kirk
Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won't cancel Tucker I'm thinking of inviting Candace
3:49 PM

Ugghhh
3:50 PM

Charlie Kirk
Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this.
3:54 PM

Please don't invite Candace. That might feel good short term but it's not good long term, in my opinion. Like all groups, you're going to get wide variety of opinions. That nasty free will thing that God bestowed on us makes life frustrating at times.

***

Before his death, Kirk complained about how 'Jewish donors play into all the stereotypes' and that he had 'no choice but to leave the pro Israel cause'

Kirk first met his wife Erika in Israel shortly before their romance began


Kirk claims in the text message that a 'Jewish donor' had pulled a $2 million yearly donation to Turning Point USA because Tucker Carlson was invited to speak at event

Owens claims that the screenshots were sent by Kirk two days before he was assassinated while speaking to a group of students at Utah Valley University. Kolvet did not confirm that time frame.

Days after Kirk was murdered, Carlson told his audience that two days before his death a major donor had pulled money from the organization because of Kirk's refusal to disinvite him to this year's Americafest conference set for December.

Owens, who has gone viral in the weeks since for floating baseless conspiracy theories about Kirk's death, is a vocal critic of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The FBI arrested Tyler Robinson, 22, as the prime suspect in Kirk's murder shortly after the attack. If found guilty for the murder, Robinson could face the death penalty in the state of Utah.

Back in September, Carlson also revealed that Kirk had often expressed negative views on Netanyahu.

'He did not like Bibi Netanyahu and he said that to me many times and he said to people around him many times. He felt that Bibi Netanyahu was a very destructive force,' Carlson said.

Carlson said that Kirk's criticism of Netanyahu centered around the Turning Point leader's belief that the United States was being used to fight wars on behalf of Israel.

The former Fox News host added that 'there was a small, very intense group who tormented Charlie Kirk until the day he died.'

Candace Owens released the text message exchange during her YouTube show on Monday night. By Tuesday afternoon, Turning Point spokesman Andrew Kolvet confirmed the screenshot is real

The revelation surrounding Kirk's newfound criticism of Israel comes as a shock because the 31-year-old was seen as one of the leading evangelical supporters of Israel in the conservative movement.

Kirk often traveled to Israel for religious and political events years prior to his death. Moreover, Kirk first met his wife Erika in Israel before their romance began.

Kolvet, who was one of Kirk's closest confidantes, noted that he was aware of the text messages sent by Kirk, but chose not to share it publicly 'because it was a private exchange… I wanted to not betray my friend's trust.'

The Turning Point spokesman also revealed that soon after Kirk's assassination he shared these text messages with government officials because he wanted to leave 'no stone unturned.'

Turning Point responds to the release of the group chat messages, X has a meltdown, and a Turning Point donor publishes a touching letter regarding me.



Transcript

All right, you guys. Happy Tuesday. I got to tell you something. Twitter or X, it hasn't really been that fun in a
really long time. I think Elon Musk clearly gave it away to the military and we now have to suffer these military bot
farms calling for war with Iran. But last night, the platform was
exceptional. It was amazing. The tears that were being shed all over the place. I mean, I I really picked out the best
responses to me dropping the text messages. It was hilarious. Anyway,
TurningPoint USA has responded to the release of the messages, so we are going to watch that. Spoiler alert, they were
real, of course. And on top of that, Turning Point USA donor has published a
public letter regarding me, and I was truly touched by it, and I think you will be, too. So, I want to share that.
Welcome back to Candace.
[Music]
X has a meltdown and TPUSA addresses the text messages.
My little sister called me this morning and she was like, "Candice, your podcast right now is like the show Succession on
HBO." You guys, you guys know this show which is about how all of the heirs and
supposed to be kind of fashioned after Rupert Murdoch's throne, all the siblings are fighting one another to see
who will it be, who will it be that gets this empire. That really made me chuckle. I think that should be our new
show intro. [Music]
Yes, yes, yes. Who will succeed? Charlie Kirk. Who shall inherit the Turning
Point throne? You know what, you guys? The best part of all of this for me is unlike those illbegotten heirs on the
show, I have a 0% interest in Charlie's empire. I am not motivated by the idea
of carrying on his torch. Not for a single moment did I think any person could carry on his torch. Uh if you
thought you could, you clearly did not know Charlie Kirk. Charlie was in fact an anomaly in the system. It happened to
rarely. And uh yeah, I don't know that I will live to see another person like him. I want you guys to know something.
I want to share this with you. You can take it or you can leave it, but Charlie was betrayed. I know this uh I I've
known this really since the first second, but I rarely have vivid dreams
and I did in fact have a very vivid one over the weekend. In fact, the last time that I I had a super vivid dream, I was
pregnant. Tends to happen a lot uh to women when they're pregnant. But in that dream from 2023, my former producer of
the show and I uh were standing in the control room and she told me that she
was 26 weeks pregnant. This is in the dream. and she told me exactly what month the baby was coming. I asked her
in the dream, "Is it a boy? Is it a girl?" And she said, "It's a boy." I woke up and I immediately texted my
producer in real life and I said, "Hey, you're pregnant. Just so you know, it's a boy." And then she found out that she
was pregnant one week later. She had no idea when I texted her and it's something that we reflected on a couple of months later because she was just
totally shocked looking back on it. And this is our our our text chain uh from you can see 2023. She said, "You texted
me June 16th and I think I got pregnant June 26th. This is crazy. And it's going
to be a boy. It's nuts." I said, "I'm telling you, your baby visited me. It was an insanely vivid dream. He was on
his way." And she said, "That is so bizarre." My mom also texted me that week saying that she had a dream I was pregnant. I said, "I haven't had a dream
that vivid since. It's been my only vivid dream this entire pregnancy. I believe people can communicate in dreams
on their way in and on their way out of this world. I similarly, like I just said, had a
vivid dream this weekend and Charlie came to me and he told me that he was
betrayed. And so for me, you don't have to believe that, but I do believe that.
And uh it was the immediate sense I got actually and I don't know who exactly it
is that betrayed him but I also felt in the dream that it is soon going to be revealed that it's actually inevitable
that it is going to be revealed that there is nothing and no one that is going to stop the truth from coming out and it is going to have international
consequences. Take that to the bank. Quote me on that. Women tend to have a stronger intuition
about people. I would say I think uh it was the writer producer Conrad Flynn
that recently went on to Tucker Carlson's show and he discussed that discussed that phenomenon in the context
of the persecution of Christ. He's talking about Pontious Pilot's wife warning him not to persecute Jesus. Take
a listen to that portion of their conversation. And if you look at Pontius Pilot, Pontious Pilot, you know, he he wants to
set uh he at some point he flips and he's like, you know, this guy is innocent. My wife is having dreams about
this man. That's another thing that's underreported in history. Um wife as wife as soothsayer slashdreamer. I mean,
you your wife has many times been like, I have a bad feeling about this guy, Tucker. Don't have him on your show. And and and her intuition is such that you
even though there's no necessarily hard evidence, you know, it's your wife's take on stuff. You don't ignore it. But
that's I have ignored it. Um and it's you're like I've never actually never listened to that.
I No, I mean I've been married 34 years as of Saturday and it's like a joke in
my house. You know, I told you he was bad. I don't know. He's hilarious. You seem like a good guy to me. You know
that's hilarious. Yeah. So you'd be the Pontious Pilot where she's like you don't arrest this man. I had a dream.
And you're like whatever. I'm doing my work right now. I'm very shallow. So, someone's someone who's amusing or fun to have dinner
with, you know, I just get swept away. I like that guy. You know what I mean? You're like, "Braabis was amazing on
that podcast. I got I got to have I got to have him on. He's he's fantastic." Um, that's actually really funny because I'm
recapping conversations that I've had with Tucker where I'm like, I don't know why you trust that person at all. He's obviously a bad guy. He's like, "Really?
I like him, but I had really nice dinner with him." Anyways, obviously what they're accurately describing, but I
should say especially between a husband and a wife and definitely my relationship with my husband, I can say
that from almost the very moment that I learned that Charlie was not going to make it, I said to George through tears
that he was betrayed. And now we're all just sort of on this journey to find out by who. So, I released a text message
yesterday, dropped it on the world, and it caused, and this is putting it mildly, a lot of panic. As I said, the
chatter on X was top tier. Emphasis on the tier because there were a lot of
them being shed by everyone who was discounting me. She's this, she's that, she's lying. Charlie never changed his
mind. He was committed to Israel to the day he died. In fact, he almost died for Israel. That was the vibe they were
putting down. And I was getting angrier and angrier and angrier, but self-control always pays off. There were
moments on X where people were after this text message was revealed almost like bargaining like, "Please, this
can't be real. Let me show you." They were making fake messages themselves. This is how easy it is to make a fake
message that this cannot be real. They were accusing, deluding themselves uh
into believing whatever was necessary for them not to accept the reality that I was telling the truth. Of course, I was telling the truth. Here's just a few
um of my favorites. Um this is village crazy lady who I love, Mel. Uh who was
responding to an absurdity that was being presented by Ashton Forbes. Mel said, "These losers are down so bad
right now that they are literally using their own attack lines for defense. Ashton Forbes wrote, he's been
absolutely maniacal. First off, Candace has no credibility. Second, there's a bunch of Telegram group chat scams that
claim to be real people. I was briefly in touch with one Elon Musk. Oh, really?
You were in touch with Elon Musk on Telegram? Third, if you discount the text messages between Tyler Robinson and
his trans furry lover, you cannot take these at face value. Lastly, even if the
text messages were real, they mean literally nothing related to Charlie's death. I find it scary how Candace is
building a literal cult. Soon they'll be drinking Kool-Aid in sync with I don't
even know if that says 31 Atlas to be sent to heaven. I think that might be a cult actually. That's how I'm not I'm
not in a cult at all. So much I don't even recognize was probably a very big cult's name. And uh I love that Mel
replies and says, "Bro, if I got scammed in a Telegram group chat by Elon Musk, quote unquote, I'd take that ish to my
grave." Britta uh you can see she's also replying he was replying to Britta no
soup for nullles if you want to bring that right back up. She wrote and by the way she used to work for Seth Dylan. So
this is the usual chatter a group of people. She wrote is Candace posting fake group chat screenshots to
conveniently back up her narrative that Charlie was dropping the pro-Israel cause and inviting Candace to the TPU
stage. I'm just asking questions. All fair. We allow questions. We even allow
diagnoses. We're all We're chill. We're on the side of truth. We are so chill. Li Laura Loomer, who is legally just,
you know, not allowed to own a gun because she's a literal lunatic, had the
nerve to post this about me when somebody called her out. Morgan Ariel said, "Laura Loomer hasn't made a single
post about Candace Owens reporting on Charlie Kirk's group messages. We all know she's the first to run her mouth,
and she wrote because I don't give an f about Candace Owens and her postpartum psychotic rants." Even if those texts
are real, it still does not mean that Israel killed Charlie Kirk. I never said that. Candace Owens makes content for
low IQ people who don't understand how criminal investigations work. It's going to be hilarious when she is sued by TV
USA in addition to Mcronone's wife. Yes. Bankrupt her for telling the truth. Do
it. Do it. Bankrupt her. Yeah. When you are down bad, just like Mel says, when
they're really down bad, nothing is left, you just sue. Anyways, back to how
unhinged just chatter was on X. Generally speaking, I laughed out loud.
Everybody uses the term blitzkrieg. Even and the NFL football team say Blitzkrieg. Yes, it relates um back to
Germany. It's a bombardment strategy. So that's why we use it when you're going to bombard. And so I called it Blitzgree
egg week because we're just dropping a bunch of bombs. And Britta decided to
take that literally. She said Candace thinks it's cute to use Nazi terminology
and make a turning point pun while she incites further harassment of TPUSA
employees by implicating them in Charlie's death. It's a sick game for her. And out of nowhere, Megan Kelly
needs to stop making excuses for this vile behavior. I have no idea while why
why Megan Kelly is being just abused. It's like people just get drunk and beat Megan Kelly when they get home. I don't
know what is happening and why she's being dragged into anything that I say, but it's exceptional that they're now
looking. They're so desperate that German words. You can't even say a blitz
means lightning. Cre means war. Last I checked, people are still allowed to
speak German. And last I check everybody uses the terminology blitz. Litz cre
Washington Post certainly does when they're describing things that's happening at the White House. But now
this is how desperate they are for um anything grasping at straws. Nick Fuentes, our uh uh routine federal
informant wrote writes this um why did she sit on this for four weeks and then
censor the other names? Just grasping at straws. Just grasping at straws here. And we follow that up by taking a a stab
at Charlie Kirk who's dead. Charlie Kirk said he had no choice to lead the pro-Israel cause because a Jewish donor stopped giving him millions of dollars.
What a coincidence. He had his great epiphany about Israel after they stopped paying him to shill. Speaking of paying
people to shill, it's why I didn't take one minute or one sentence rather of him uh trying to uligize Charlie Kirk
seriously because that right there is the real Nick Fuentes. The Quartering jumped in. He says a serious question.
Let's assume the text are real and that Charlie was 100% serious and not just being sarcastic, which is totally
possible. What exactly does this prove? Think before you reply. What does it prove other than someone close to him
was fine leaking his texts? That's been their new talking point. How dare you leak text messages?
And finally, this is just funny, so we're going to show you this community notes for the win. Uh, the misfit
patriot writes, "I will give Candace every single shekele. Israel has paid me for my posts if she can prove those text
messages are real. Update says community notes. Andrew Kovette confirmed the screen grab was real. Of course, it was
real." What I mean, I would have to be the dumbest person ever. First off, I'm
not even inclined towards tech, but also would have to be an absolute a to
try to figure out how to manufacture text messages for the purpose of releasing them to then probably get sued
by every person that was not in the chat. Like, I'm just like, "Hey, Josh Hammer received this message." That'd be
so dumb. But like I said, these people were desperate for it not to be real because they've been lying so hard about
everything. They just been lying and they have some egg on their face now. And reality hit them pretty quickly this
morning when Andrew Kovette, Turning Point's spokesperson, confirmed that the
messages were in fact real. He did this on the Charlie Kirk show. And actually, I don't think it's dramatic to state
that this may be the first respectable measure taken by Turning Point USA
executives since the passing of Charlie Kirk. Like the first respectable response. And yeah, I thought that that
was I I will I will compliment that. Just the action of Andrew Kovette addressing it headon instantly was good.
So let's hear Andrew Kovette in his own words. But I want to take the start of this show to address some of the things that
have been going around on public, namely about a text, a group text chain that has been made known uh and released uh
by Candace Owens. And I just want to address it headon because uh you know
that was a text grab a screen grab that I had shared uh with people. So it it is
authentic and I want to go into it because I actually am really excited that the the truth is out there. I first
want to say the reason I have I didn't share that screen grab publicly is because it was a private it was a
private exchange and I felt like it didn't necessarily comport with things that were already public. I wanted to
not betray my friend's trust in that way. But I did share it with some people in government because it happened really
quick. It was, you know, it took 33 hours for authorities to get their suspect. And in that first, in those
first moments, we wanted no stone unturned. We wanted to leave nothing unturned. So, I shared it with a few
people. Don't know where it went from there, apparently. Uh, but here we are. So,
one of the reasons, Blake, that I'm glad to have this now public, it was not mine
to share publicly, but you know, one of the criticisms we've been we've received is that we don't care. We're not
investigating every lead. We're not looking under every stone. And that somehow we're just like, you know,
sweeping things under the rug. And when I say that we want justice for Charlie more than anybody else, I really mean
it. And no stone unturned. I mean, I I don't know if you want to chime in on that part alone, but I have more to say.
Yeah, I So, it's it has been so frustrating to have people blow up about this. And, you know, we've stated I've
certainly stated publicly the reason I haven't weighed in on things is I am an eyewitness to events and they've said
don't comment on things because anything you say can mess that up. I don't want to mess up any trial for the person who
did this. That's a thousand% right. And and I will say I wasn't an eyewitness. I was not there. I flew to Utah immediately uh to
be with the family and the team, but I was not an eyewitness. So, there's that. But I am aware that in my role as
spokesman for Turning Point USA, which is another hat I wear, that things I say I'm cognizant of the fact that things I
say could negatively impact an ongoing investigation. All right. But I will weigh in specifically on this this issue
of Israel because I know there's a lot of fascination. And I just want to say that,
you know, we have to let free speech be our northstar here. Okay? Charlie was
adamantly free speech and I am not personally going to impugn anybody's character who is asking questions and
looking for answers. All right? And I will say that that text chain is consistent with public frustrations that
he voiced many times. And I know Blake, you were in the trenches on a lot of this stuff because we were workshopping
how we were going to do the tour and what we was, you know, he's going to get asked about Israel, what was he going to say? And this is consistent with things
that he told his friends, people that are, you know, in the in the water wider movement about his wrestle that he was
going. And so I just want to say like what is the truth about the way Charlie felt about Israel? Well, it's complicated and it's nuanced and it was
a wrestle that was going on for months and it's probably somewhere between the BB letter and the text.
So, what do we think? Okay, obviously you can tell he's anxious. Uh you can tell he's he's nervous speaking about
this. I am sure it was positively frantic at Turning Point USA yesterday. I am sure he had very little sleep and
like I say, never the fun thing to be the spokesperson and also to be involved in the story. I can tell you right off
the bat he is telling the truth. Uh he was not the person who shared that message with me. Uh he also should know
that he was not the only person who sent that message and sent messages around. So there are a lot circulating uh some
videos that are circulating and uh yeah that's he's being honest about that portion. I personally as someone who
knows Andrew Kov I want to I want to express how I feel. I hold it against him actually that he didn't share it
with me. He knew I cried on the phone with Andrew. He knew how I was feeling. And then I went under a a very well, you
could say a blitzkrieg, right? A a heavy bombardment from people who he knows
hated Charlie, who tried to stop Charlie. Uh people who had no issues showing up to his memorial. I mean,
really gross stuff who were attacking me. And he could have at least provided some cover. Now, I'm I'm not saying that
I need help, but sometimes it's nice to offer somebody a lifeboat when they're being attacked for telling the truth,
right? Uh so, I would do want to say that also, I'm glad that Andrew responded correctly because I was I was
going to say this when Blake's like, "Well, you know, the investigation's ongoing." That text message has nothing to do with an investigation whatsoever.
Uh it has to do with the broader question of people feeling that Charlie's legacy is intentionally being
hijacked by Israel. I never stated that Israel killed Charlie. Anybody that's been watching this investigative series,
we've come up. I mean, there hasn't even been an Israeli name that has popped up in this investigation. There's only been one Jewish person, I think, that's
popped up thus far in this investigation, which is George Zinn, Decoy Boy. So, they're just saying that
they're just saying that. I just wanted to say that he was under a tremendous amount of pressure. Now, regarding uh
the other things that are circulating that have not been publicized yet and people should know that there is an
underground movement of truth tellers in this moment. Okay? There is an underground movement of knights all
around the world from mom sleuths to government employees like he said to personal assistants to turning point USA
donors who are working together to bring justice to Charlie because we don't like the way this feels. You just don't like
the way it feels. The vibes are off. I will respect even though obviously that statement was prepared. I will respect
the fact that Andrew says what Charlie would have said and for the first time I feel that's been expressed that we have
to let free speech be our north star. And I'm not so sure that the people some
of the people that were donating to Turning Point USA believe that. In fact, I'm certain some of them don't believe
that. Obviously, we wouldn't have that text message if they all believed that. And that is what I think is has been so
frustrating is that it seems as though the executives would rather, and I'm now referring to Tyler Ber, impugn the
character of the people who are doing exactly what Charlie Kirk would have done. So please, Andrew, make sure that
Tyler Boyer and Alex Clark get the internal memo about free speech.
I want to say one more thing rather explosively. Three people told me off record, two
people who have this in a written communication from Charlie, uh, one who
is a Turning Point USA donor and I would say very much one of the white knights in this.
The very day before Charlie Kirk died, he expressed that he thought he was
going to be killed. He told these people, "I think they're going to kill me." Okay? He had not
expressed that to me. So I am telling you this based off the testimony of three people and I am saying this
because I hope that these people who I think are good will be inspired to come forward with that. Now again those
conversations I had were off record. I honor that. If I say it's off record it stays off record. But I'm hoping that
watching what I am doing and feeling the energy that is rising across the world for people who want to know what the
heck happened on 910 that you know they will be brave and they will say yeah
Charlie did the day before he died think that he was going to be killed and maybe tell us who is they for once and for all
who is they who is the they that he thought was were going to kill him. Now, to answer to give the obvious answer to
federal informant Nick Fuentes's question, the reason that I waited to reveal the text messages is because I'm not a child. Okay? Like I said, I have a
lot more. I'm I'm not an idiot and I have self-control and I understand that
time is always going to be on the side of truth. Time is on the side of truth. Liars know that that's the reality.
Liars know that they have to speak quickly, that they have to speak repeatedly. And I wanted the world to
truly understand just exactly what it is that we are up against. Okay? People
that I deem to be mentally and spiritually evil. Okay? Evil in the true
essence of the word evil. People who knowingly lied, instantly lied, repeatedly lied, and continued to do so
without a trace of shame. Okay? Without a trace of shame. I mean that, right? I
I really do mean it when I say that you have to be someone that is or maybe
rather someone that is possessed by something that is less than human
subhuman to do that. There's no there's no humanity in you. That is why I named
Josh Hammer. I believe he is a deeply disturbed man. Think about that now that
you have those messages. Okay, let's put this in the context. Just a few hours before I dropped that text chain, Josh
Hammer was, you know, was concerning himself with what he's been doing uh since Charlie caught the bullet in his
neck. He has been spreading lies, saying that Charlie never flinched on Israel.
Right. Charlie never flinched. Oh my god, these people like get there lying 48 hours before Josh Hammer was on that
text thread. And that did not stop him from keeping up the propagandist effort
when he went on a show yesterday before I dropped the messages and said this.
Charlie was a was was a close friend of mine as you know. We actually spoke literally the night before his tragic
and untimely death. I was on a small Zoom call with him and a couple others. We we were literally talking through this topic. I I was giving Charlie
advice for how to message on this issue on his forthcoming campus tour. you know, he kind of jokingly mentioned to
me, he was like, "Josh, I'm going to mention your book, Israel and Civilization, and it's so good." And that was literally our last conversation. It's just it's just so
tragic. This letter that he wrote to the prime minister, Chris, I read back in June or
July or so. And there were so many people in the aftermath of his horrific assassination, Candace Owens, folks like
that who were saying that, "Oh, Charlie was turning on Israel. He was ready to sell them out and renounce his his
life's work of of sincere and genuine friendship to the Jewish people and the Jewish state. But this letter that he
wrote to BB Netanyahu, Chris literally begins. The first sentence of the letter is I'm paraphrasing here, but it's a
close paraphrase. As a Christian, one of my greatest joys in life is making friendships with the Jewish people and
defending the state of Israel. That's literally the opening sentence of this letter.
Filth. Okay. absolute filth. I I don't
understand it. I can't comprehend it. I this whatever that is that lives in him does not live in me. There was no truth
in him. Obviously, there was no truth in Josh Hammer. He could have said what Charlie was going through 48 hours
earlier. Yeah. He he didn't he refused to do that.

In fact, I'm quite alarmed with what I know that there are three
people who said uh that Charlie communicated 24 hours before he died that he thought they were going to kill
him. Now, I find it rather alarming that Josh Hammer is similarly saying, "Oh, the night before." So, you spoke to him
the night before. Did he communicate that to you, Josh Hammer? Did he? I'm
interested. I know we won't get answers from you, but let me promise you that if
I get a text message to the effect that you were somehow involved in him feeling anxiety the day before, if you did
something that gave him anxiety in that way, I will release it instantly. there
will be no place that you can hide. Anyways, I want you guys to know that I
was feeling so inspired by Josh Hammer's utter lack of human decency that I went
ahead this week and sent around a life insurance policy of sorts of sorts, a
package rather to people that I trust. A package filled with text messages, emails, private communications, videos,
and private legal documents. So if anything happens to me, you guys will know exactly who it is that has been
making my life a living hell over the past couple of years. People that are trying to bankrupt me, trying to
bankrupt me and my family that are threatening us to sue us. Everything that Kanye said was so real.

Okay, I'm
now at that point where you look back and you go, man, Kanye was right. He was really saying something about what it
takes to leave, you know, to fight for custody of your own soul. Just leave me
alone. Let me say what I believe and you say what you believe. Fight fair. Why do you always have to make this threat to
bankrupt people? And I want you to know that those people, if anything happens to me, they have my explicit permission
to release it all. Detonate it all. Expose all of these people in politics
and in the movement who behave like this behind the scenes. It's necessary. And I highly recommend
every single person that is out there that has a platform and is going through things and is scared do the same. send
everything around to about eight people that you trust. And I mean, I I've ranged it. I sent it to journalists,
text messages, and screenshots to people ranging from Max Blumenthal to Andrew Tate. They won't know where it's coming
from. It will be everywhere. I want to remind you guys uh in the wake of all of
this that it is so important to keep trusting our guts. We have been proven
right so many times in the recent past, right? Whether we're speaking about COVID, people that had to actually take
a stance before people were then suddenly government, oh admit, oh yeah, we were lying. We were lying about this.
We were lying about that. We feel it all right now. The feds are lying. That is beyond obvious. Which is why I was very happy to hear uh former Navy Seal Rob O'Neal explain this plainly when he went
on Piers Morgan's show the other day. Let's take a listen to what he had to say.

Me, I mean, it was off right from the beginning for me. Do
we not guard rooftops anymore? There's been assassination attempts all over the world. Why aren't we looking at rooftops?
And then when I was sent the I was sent the video with this at the same message where they said, "Charlie Kirk
was just shot," when I watched that horrific video, he was obviously dead before he hit the ground. But the
questions immediately started to come to me. But that was not an entry room that we saw. We saw an exit wound. So, where'd that bullet come from? You
don't bleed like -- and I've shot guys closer than the camera was. An entry wound doesn't look like
that. An exit wound does. Why did his shirt move the way it did? When I've shot people, their shirts didn't move like that. And then the
initial reaction was, well, he was obviously wearing body armor and it was deflection. One, no. Uh, he wasn't
wearing body armor. And two, it doesn't deflect like that off of body armor. Why was the shirt moving from right to left?
Why were people being interviewed saying, "Yeah, they came from my left to right, from his right to left," immediately shut down? And then did
they tear the crime scene down immediately? Just right off the bat from seeing it, knowing he was dead, saying a lot of this is bad. Not even
getting into the soliloquy of text messages that 22-year-olds don't send their translover.

So immediately,
the official story sounds like it needs to be investigated. But now, you know, the whole crime
scene's gone. They paved over it. Nothing to see here.

You just have to laugh. The soliloquy of
the text messages that 22 year-olds do not send their lovers. Yes, that's kind
of the main point, guys. We have been working off a a lot of tips and so much more is going to be exposed and we're
going to get into that more tomorrow. I do want to give you a quick update on Lance Twigs and like I said, uh we know
that the feds are lying to us. The question is why are the feds lying to us? The answer is always the same. The
feds only lie to cover their own tracks. They are protecting themselves and their
bosses. Who are their bosses? Who is they?

Let me tell you guys something very interesting about this investigation into Charlie Kirk's murder. We don't feel I don't think the majority of people in the world feel
that we know what happened and I want you guys to know that we have not for a single second ceased our investigation.
Right? What actually happened on 9/10? We don't know. And we are still working
through a ton of the tips related to what happened. Uh,
but I want to tell you that I maintain I actually believe that this was a
military hit that involved foreign actors and also literal actors. I
believe that that day ran uh something akin to JFK's assassination. I believe
that there were therefore multiple decoys on the ground. I do not believe,
just so I'm clear here, that the person who was walking up the stairs killed Charlie. In fact, my suspicion is that
that photo was not even shot on the same day. I do not believe that the person who ran across Lozi rooftop killed
Charlie. I think it was another decoy. I do not believe that shot came from a Lozi Center at all. And I obviously, we
all know that decoy George Zin didn't kill Charlie. And I received an
interesting tip about him as well that he's much more connected than what meets the surface. He potentially has
connections to the federal department, familial connections to the federal department. And we are proddding that.
It's getting interesting. Anyway, uh that would suggest that there are thus for a total of four decoys like George
Zinn, staircase guy, maroon shirt guy, and Lozi center guy. None of which I
believe actually pulled the trigger. Call it a hunch. I think it's much more likely that Lance Twigs is the one that
is walking in that maroon shirt. His build is nothing like Tyler Robinson's build. Uh Lance Twigs is thinner. Uh and
obviously I'm speculating here, but I believe Tyler Robinson was involved and he was in fact driving around campus on
that day, therefore assisting in the costume changes, likely picking up
clothing. And as we broke the story, uh Tyler was seen at Dairy Queen and what
was he seen doing? As I told you, dumping clothing in the cemetery beside
that Dairy Queen. So I think that is what his involvement is limited to. That was his job. Uh to get rid of clothing.
Uh it's completely a nonsense to think that a person who had never killed anyone was high on adrenaline after a
kill and decided to eat Dairy Queen. That doesn't even make sense biologically speaking. There was going to be an adrenaline measure that kicks
in after you kill a animal, yet alone a person, yet alone having it be your
first kill. And you're like, he just decided to go to DQ. Sit down, write some poetic text messages. It's why they
are freaking out about that Dairy Queen leak because it disrupts their narrative. One of many things that
disrupts their narrative. But what about Lance Twigs, right? this
uh roommate, man. Something about him. The roommate of Tyler Robinson is I
think federally protected. I especially think that because we learned some more interesting facts about him. So, I feel
confident, or I shouldn't say completely confident, but I feel like it's okay to venture a guess that he is a federal
asset of some description. Could be related to his online work on Discord chats. It's the only thing that makes
sense to me. Anyways, I can tell you guys, I can break this for you, that the
government, and this would implicate Governor Cox and whoever else was a part of that press conference, uh, the
morning after, the 33 hours after they apprehended Tyler Robinson, the government lied when they said, uh,
Lance, you know, I'm obviously paraphrasing here, he came in peacefully. He handed over everything. I
mean, the whole depiction was like he was just so shocked his boyfriend could do something like this. And so he handed
over everything. Well, according to his family, that's just not true. According to his family,
he was raided and he was angry about that raid. And yet, he was instantly
released back into their care within 6 hours. Isn't that something? They had no
idea what was happening. They were going off of Mike, the mysterious detective Mike Mitchell's tip. They had no
confession. They have Tyler Robinson walking in uh peacefully because he doesn't want to
die. And uh you're telling me Lance Twigs, for whatever reason, you released
him immediately back into custody. No, they lied. He was not being compliant and walking in and showing them
everything. Something else that was interesting, we had told you guys that
Tyler's family thought that there could have been something weird going on with
that raid, that perhaps the feds could have been staging that apartment to fit
into their narrative. Now, the feds are staging this entire operation. So, that would follow that if you're trying to
get a conviction, you got to be like, "And we found this in his house." The note underneath the keyboard. So
convenient. But he destroyed it. He took a picture of it, but then he destroyed it cuz if everybody knows if you want to destroy something so it never sees a
light of day, he took a picture of it so it lives forever in the iCloud. Anyways, uh we were told by Lance's
family that who by the way own the apartment that the two of them lived in
that Tyler and Lance lived in. We were told that somebody illegally changed their locks on the home following the
raid. Obviously illegal. They were not informed that the locks were being changed. So, it gives us two options. It
was either Lance or it was the feds. I was wondering like, you know, if
you're Lance and you really got swept up in this and you're so shocked that Tyler Robinson did this,
is are you speaking to your family about that? My gosh. I'd imagine you want to speak to your family. No. No. It seems
uh Lance has similarly been in an unknown known location since the raid. I
would imagine he was in witness protection for a bit, but he doesn't he doesn't need family. He feels I would
say that suggests that he's pretty arrogant right now in this moment. He's not fearful of anything. Like I said,
the sense I am getting is we are watching a play, right? The government has us completely distracted with photos
of people who are not even the same person. I never for a second thought the person that was in the maroon shirt was
the same as the person that was walking with the limp. It's completely foolish and ridiculous.
I can also tell you something else. We received a tip which I vetted that on
the day of Charles Kush's assassination, you know, immediately George Zinn gets
up and says, "I did it. I did it. I did it." And he kind of gets dragged. Well, apparently George Zinn had to receive
medical treatment following that little fraas. And he told
multiple nurses and doctors that he did it because he was being paid to do it.
He said he had not been paid yet, but he was going to receive payment. He didn't
know from who. That's interesting.
Decoy boy told medical staff multiple apparently he was just singing
just like just telling everybody who would listen that he did it because payment was going to be promised to him
if he did do it. What does that tell us? We should definitely dig into George Zinn. We should definitely try to
confirm uh this relatively strong tip that he has connections to the feds
because it would be very interesting if the feds were going to pay George. I'm not saying they are. Uh but yeah, why
why wouldn't he know? I mean, make that make sense. Why wouldn't George Zin know where the payment was coming from?
Yeah. Anyways, you guys, we are on the case. I wanted to share that with you. as some other explosive things that we
have found out that the feds have not shared. Other people that they were questioning that they did not share. People that
similarly have been told to be quiet about everything. And let's be clear, they are not asking everyone to be
silent because they are seeking a conviction against Tyler Robinson. They
are telling everybody to be silent because they don't want to get caught. The feds are covering their own tracks.
John & Irina Mappin's touching letter.
All right, guys. Guys, I want to pivot here and I I want to read you something. Well, now I want to be I want to be
perfectly clear that despite all appearances over the last two weeks, it
has been a very difficult time for me. Uh obviously, normally when I'm covering a story, I'm bombastic and I feel brave
and focused because I am speaking about someone that has nothing to do with me. This has been particularly challenging
because I had and I still am very much grieving Charlie and waking up to the
realization that not everyone is grieving him in the same way that he may have just been a political pawn to so
many people that he loved deeply. I mean it it I'm going to be honest even Donald Trump's non-reaction not making any
demands um for truth regarding this investigation deeply upsets me. deeply
upsets me because I know how much Charlie Kirk loved Donald Trump. Uh, so I was just so I was happy. It brought
literal tears to my eyes when a donor from Turning Point USA, a donor that
actually then unlocked a whole another level of donations for Charlie Kirk
through introductions that he made for Charlie and a donor who it's it's ironically this is the very donor that
when I said to Charlie, "We need to be in the UK. We need to be in the UK." and he was like, "Well, I know somebody uh who I could maybe have set up an event.
We can start Turning Point UK." And that event was when I first laid eyes on George. Not when I spoke to him, but when I actually first laid eyes on him.
Uh that donor issued a public statement. And uh I think he will be the first of
many donors that might make a public statement. And he made this statement in
my favor. This was written by him and his wife, two wonderful people, John and
Arena Mappen. Uh, I'm just going to read it because I think these words don't
just eloquently express how I'm feeling, but I think these words eloquently might express how we are all feeling
worldwide. Like I read this and I said to myself, I couldn't have written this
better myself with all the time in the world. John and Aarina Wright, Charlie
Kirk built Turning Point USA on transparency, free speech, and a relentless pursuit of truth. We are
witness to that. If Candace Owens had been assassinated, Charlie would have torn apart every lie and devoted every
working day and night to uncovering the full truth. He would not have trusted the authorities to deliver justice. He
would have demanded it from the rooftops. Charlie would not have waited for the funeral or memorial to happen.
He would have gotten to work immediately. He would have worked night and day to uncover exactly what had happened to his great friend. Consider
this. Charlie did not sleep for several days and several nights just to ensure that JD Vance became the vice
presidential nominee. And although that job was supremely important for the country and its future, it was still
ultimately simply helping to secure a job promotion. Candace is working to get to the truth of who killed Charlie Kirk
and why they did it. Charlie's execution is an assassination with potentially far-reaching political consequences for
America and the world. What we have seen so far beggars belief. a crime scene
apparently completely destroyed in days and plenty of evidence that simply does not 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 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 doubt or 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. If there were circumstances where a
suspect or someone standing trial for murder did not have a clean opportunity to receive the very best and fairest
legal representation to present their case and defense to the world. It would have been aborant to Charlie Kirk. It
would go against every constitutional principle that he lived, fought, and died for. Erica is in mourning. May God
bless her and her family. Please give her and her family time to grieve. Any civilized culture, Christian or
otherwise, allows a grieving widow 40 days of mourning to make peace with the Lord and to respect the departed. Those
people who truly love her would gladly grant her all the space she needs. We certainly do. But we are growing rather
sick and ashamed of seeing people criticize Candace for doing her level best to get to the bottom of and to the
truth of what happened to Charlie on that day. You don't have to agree with Candace on every subject that she addresses on her shows to acknowledge
that much of what she is presenting on the subject of Charlie's death is extremely concerning to America and to the world. Completely valid and very
relevant to the investigation. She has an army of truth seekers worldwide who are helping her in her search and her
research. This is a truly new and modern phenomenon that has never happened before. This is not 1963 and boomers
need to get used to it. In our view, the official investigation should be immediately ordered by the appropriate
legal authority to proactively share everything they know with Candace and her selected team. That is, if truth and
real understanding of who decided to assassinate Charlie and why is the sincere objective, that would go some
way towards restoring public trust in the system. It is our view that her actions are not just the actions that
any real friend would take for their friend. They are the actions of the highest order of patriotism. Candace's
actions are service to the whole country and to the world. Beyond that, they are truly providential, divinely inspired,
and metaphysical. There is a relationship between truth and all living things. There is a relationship
between truth and God. Right now, Turning Point USA is at a vital moment.
If we continue to witness the mistreatment and the suppression of a young woman and a mother of four young children who is doing everything she can
to help get to the truth about who decided that her friend and fellow freedom fighter Charlie had to die, they
will lose the country and the world and America will have lost one of its greatest living patriots only to see
those factors against which he fought and died for win. Canis's extremely valid point that hers has so far been
one of the only public voices from Charlie's closest friends questioning the absurdity of some of the
communications regarding what happened and demanding clarity is well made and frankly that point alone is shocking to
the world. We have been receiving calls from senior Republicans and from Turning Point donors who agree with her all last
week and they started up again this week. They agree with Candace, but seeing the attacks that she is experiencing, they are terrified to
voice their views publicly. Is that really where we are in 2025?
Few people following the matter believe the official version, the virgin version, a low minority believe that the
current suspect is guilty. That statistic alone is an awful commentary on the state of the official
investigation. The world wants truth. The world Charlie and those who truly loved him and knew
his purposes certainly deserve justice. But justice needs not just to be done.
It needs to be seen to be done justly. I want to read that sentence again because it's very powerful. Justice needs not
just to be done. It needs to be seen to be done justly. It must be truthful. It
must be fair. And it must be clean. If there are videos, show them. If there is evidence, show it. The world is not
going to accept anything less. This is not about who is right or wrong or whose theory is correct. Candace's
investigation is about actually getting to the truth. Whatever that truth is. If the current theory for the shooter is
truth, then okay, that is a lie. Then we need to know. Every episode of Candace's show since Charlie died from her
heartfelt emotional tribute to her exceptional journalism has been incredible. And anyone who cares for the truth and who wants to know who killed
Charlie for real should watch every episode in its sequence. The fact is that we are being told as
his friends or simply as people who had never heard of Charlie Kirk before his assassination simply does not make sense
to the vast majority. It feels like gaslighting. It feels like we are being lied to. It is not hard to tell the
truth to the public or to present the clear facts that illustrate the truth clearly. Many extremely ethical people
helped to build Turning Point in all associated groups. Turning Point Action and Turning Point Faith. Many of these
people are existing and potential future donors. We know many of them. Ethical people will not stand for lies or
injustice, either privately or publicly. The existing and future donors who were friends of Charlie's and those he loved
deserve no less. But please spare us the absurd and evil suppression of
suggesting that Candace should not be doing exactly what she is doing. She is doing no more and no less than what her friend Charlie would have done for her.
Her actions are far more reasonable and experiencable than an assassin's bullet to the throat. Consider for a moment the
evil of possibly allowing the conviction of a potentially innocent party with the death penalty. We can only begin to
imagine the wrath of God and how upset Charlie will be if an innocent man were to be executed for his assassination and
what ill fortune would befall a Christian country and the individuals that would allow this.
In this sense, Christianity and a leading Christian democracy are now on
trial. There's a special place in eternity reserved for those who would allow such an injustice. If Turning Point and
Charlie left in charge, if Turning Point and those who Charlie left in charge failed to stay true to the principles
and purposes on which Charlie founded it and with which he and Candace originally breathed life into it during its
formative years, then Turning Point will end up like MySpace. It will become just one more ineffective and rather dull has
been activity. I believe that God has other plans for Charlie and for his legacy. A cover up of the truth is not,
in my view, part of God's plans. I believe that people of goodwill from all over the world will will ensure that.
Keep going, Candace. Charlie is walking with you every step of the way. He loves you deeply, and you are right about your friendship with him. Never at any time.
Through all the challenges that the political arena and life brought, did he ever withdraw his friendship from you, Candace, you were you are an eternal
cornerstone in his life and his legacy. What a great friend you are being to him. We are all witness to that. All of our love, John and Arena. Oh, it's going
to make me cry again. It's just like I really needed it. I don't know. I just really needed it. Like it's just I feel
like I kind of went through a process where I was going like in those two weeks following
was any of it real? You know, like I when I expressed to you that I felt that Charlie's life was like the Truman Show
and then I I know that's how you guys felt because we were we were just expecting a fight. We were just
expecting a fight and instead it seems like the very things that Charlie was
fighting lies no matter what they were somehow were being platformed and allowed. So,
thank you, John. Thank you, Reena. I cried last night reading that. I almost cried on air there reading it again. I I needed it. So, anyways, you guys, I'm
going to read a couple of more sponsors and I want to get to all of your comments, some explosive things that we
will be revealing tomorrow. I'm really excited about everything. And also, I want to add to this, thank you guys, not just John and Arena, for being the first
donors that took a public stance. But before they did this, it was all of you guys at home. Truly, uh, the tags
fighting for me in the comments when I was being smeared, when they even tried to wipe away my friendship, like she hasn't spoken to him since 2015. It was
you guys. Like, you this letter is is for you. Every time he says Candace, he means all of us. All of us did this.

Comments.
All right, you guys. I'm glad I held it together. Glad I held it together reading that letter. Uh, first comment
that we have is from Jennifer. Jennifer writes, "Do we know anything about the security team that was
supposed to keep Charlie alive?" I do. I have everybody's names, the people that we couldn't identify. Uh, Jennifer
continues, "So many questions. Since the MO was out there due to Trump, why wasn't this taken into consideration?
Were drones offered and or declined? Did they do a drill run through that morning?" Amir Odum, hey, what's up?
Thank you. You have a great uh he has a great YouTube channel, Amir Odum. He writes, "Before we judge Candace for thinking that there's hidden agendas, we
have to admit history has given her every reason to." Absolutely. There are this is political politics is nasty
business. Amir, as you know, you know, you're a friend of someone who's in politics. Brett Cooper Corey Henry
writes, "Give me the Kool-Aid in a juice box." Lmo regarding Ashton Forbes cult
comment. Yeah, it was totally crazy. I don't know what I like. Yeah, maybe we're in a cult of truth. I don't know
like what what's it called? Maybe Christianity. I mean like I want to tell
the truth. So there's that. Sarah D writes, "Keep going, Candace. Love from Australia." Thank you, Sarah. Steve
writes, "A major victory in defending Charlie's true legacy. We stand with you, Candace. The truth will come out. When it does, it will shake the
foundations of the world. I believe it. You believe it. We all believe it. John and Arena believe it. Uh we feel it, you
know, like we're fighting and it it feels there's a finality to it. like this had to happen and the demons are
frantic and they're angry and I only have a platform because I keep telling
the truth. You know, if I had lied, if I had sold my soul, which many people have done, I I wouldn't have earned your
trust. And so, yeah, it comes at a cost. It certainly comes at a cost. The last
two weeks have been very hard, but it also comes at an even more amazing
reward. Justine Low writes, "As soon as you said he was betrayed, I knew it was true. My
female intuition at work brought me to tears and prayed for your safety." Thank you. He was He was RN Explorer writes,
"Thank you for fighting for the truth. I believed you from the beginning. I am crying as you read that letter. I'm glad
you cried on me because I was like, not twice in the same year am I going to be caught crying." Um but yeah, you are
laying your life and fighting for the truth for your friend. Amy writes, "Most
holy theoticus bless and protect the handmade of God, Candace and her family." Candace, so many of us in the
Orthodox Christian community are praying for you. Lord have mercy on us all. Yep.
You know, it's uh it has also been great to feel the Orthodox and the Catholic energy rising. And I and I want to be
clear. I'm not saying that as a pot shot uh to other denominations, but it feels
like for a lot of there's been a lot of persecution and a lot of this for some reason has involved, as I showed you
yesterday, you know, pastors that have been a part of this like part of spreading these lies and that is it's
not good. It's just not good to have pastors uh using the Bible to lie. It's
just not okay. Maheen Sadiki writes, "I think it would be interesting to do a deep dive into how the term
Judeo-Christian came about. I'm aware of it. It seems to be a very convenient word for Israel. I don't think any of
the core values or their views on Jesus are shared." It definitively is not. And um you know, we inherited it. We were
all in public schools. We all thought the same thing. I was working for Zionist entities. So I don't fault us
our ignorance. That is how the deception is is thick, you know, and we're finally
piercing through that layer for the first time. Will Wallace writes, "Decoy boy, please reach out to Candace's
people for the tea." Gang gang is inquiring. We feel like we know, but we
don't know now, right? I agree. Elder MJ writes, "Rooting for you from
Malaysia and praying for your safety. You are so brave. Thank you." Donna writes, "I'm not crying. You're crying,
Candace. I know you were crying. I felt the Holy Spirit in every word that you pressed today. Godspeed. And may uh the
may he bless you eternally for what you are doing. The potential sacrifice of your life and those around you. Yeah, I
think we have to be brave. And I'm a real Christian. I know this life is not it. I know it's not it. And um in fact,
people I know have intentionally been trying to convince us that this is it. so that they can further commit you uh
to their matrix to get you to agree to sell your soul, to get you to agree to lie because you're so worried about
things that are in this world. I I know that uh Charlie Charlie soul was removed
from his body and I know that he's watching and I keep that in mind when it gets hard. I keep in mind that Charlie
is watching. I know I feel um that he's with me and he's proud that somebody who
cared about him is fighting. Boredom took over, right? You are literally my spirit animal and have given me the
motivation to push forward on my dream. Charlie is so proud of you, love. Please don't give up on us and these fakes should be scared. You are the storm.
Thank you. We are the storm. Cuz I'm telling you, I could not do it without you guys. Um, and my family. They've
just been amazing. Luna writes, "Charlie also told Dr. Frank Turk right before his death when they were having a combo
about upping his security that Charlie knows quote unquote they want him dead. Frank shared this on his podcast
following Charlie's death. That makes four." Yeah. He knew. He would know. He knew he was going to be killed. Who did
he think was going to kill him? That's the question. And I'm glad to hear that Frank Turk shared that. Linda writes,
"Girl, you made me cry. God bless you. I'm praying for you." A Maria, thank you.
John and Arena made me cry. So, it's really their fault. If you ought to be angry at anybody, you can be angry at Jed Arena for writing that. It just I I
did I I felt the Holy Spirit in those words. I really did. I It's how we're all feeling. Turtle Mama writes, "I
enjoy listening to your content and I feel so at peace with the information that you share as truth. Sending prayers from Mississippi and stay safe." Thank
you so much, Turtle Mama. Uh, we're all actually doing this thing. Uh, so thank you guys for supporting me on this
journey. Thank Thank you for all of you guys that have signed up at canowens.com, bought yourself a hat, a t-shirt, joined our CIA, the
decentralized, which is more of a threat, by the way. If it's centralized, you can just whack it. If it's decentralized, it's everywhere. And
that's why I sent out that little packet to people that I trust. that I said screenshots to Max. I'm like everyone
who is threatening me behind the scenes all that stuff using lawfare to threaten
me or speech like we're now all attached. Okay, so there we go. I
recommend that everybody does that. Send it to people on the left. Send it to people on the right. Um I I love that
people on the left and right are finally coming together. Can I say that as well? Gosh, we are over time for the book
club. Hopefully people are on this so they know why we're late to the book club uh which we have tonight as we
begin this introduction to this book which they will not reprint but is a
must readad Sigman Freud and the Jewish mystical
tradition. So anyways you guys I'll see you over on kennace.com.

Urgent Message from Recent DOJ Alumni Decrying Attacks on Justice Department

October 6, 2025

We are 282 former career employees who proudly served our country at the Department of Justice. From prosecutors, special agents, and intelligence analysts to immigration judges, grant managers, civil rights attorneys and more, we all carried out our duties faithfully, regardless of who occupied the White House. Until we no longer could.

Each of us left the Department, either voluntarily or involuntarily, because of actions taken by this administration.

Our fidelity to the Constitution and our dedication to our country did not end when our jobs did. Now that we’ve left the Department, we believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it.

It is incumbent on all of us to fight for the Justice Department before it’s too late.

DOJ’s mission is to “to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights.” It’s failing on all three fronts:

● The Justice Department cannot uphold the rule of law when it carries out the President’s retribution campaign and protects his allies; violates court orders and evades due process requirements; directs attorneys to violate their ethical responsibilities; and fires its employees without notice or cause in violation of civil service laws.

● It also cannot keep our country safe when it ousts FBI employees, prosecutors, national security experts, and ATF officials; shutters offices that prevent community violence and dismantle drug trafficking operations; purges the attorneys who enforce laws that protect the environment; and shifts highly trained special agents away from counterintelligence and counterterrorism.

● And it cannot protect civil rights when it drives out 75% of attorneys from the Civil Rights Division and refuses to enforce the nation’s civil rights laws as Congress intended, using them instead as a cudgel against marginalized groups.

The administration is taking a sledgehammer to other longstanding work the Department has done to protect communities and the rule of law, too. Its plans to eliminate the Tax Division, which saves the country billions of dollars by pursuing tax evaders, will leave us poorer. Gutting the Public Integrity Section and FBI public corruption squads has paved the way for government graft. Cancelling hundreds of millions of dollars in grants has left at-risk communities less protected and crime victims less supported. The list could go on.

As for its treatment of its employees, the current leadership’s behavior has been appalling. This administration’s lies about the “deep state” and exaggerations about government inefficiency have eroded the respect our country once held for public servants. And demonizing, firing, demoting, involuntarily transferring, and directing employees to violate their ethical duties has already caused an exodus of over 5,000 of us – draining the Department of priceless institutional knowledge and expertise, and impairing its historical success in recruiting top talent. We may feel the effects of this for generations.

The Justice Department’s backbone has always been its career workforce, and those who were part of it are best positioned to explain why the current leaders’ actions are catastrophic for the nation.

We call on these leaders to reverse course – to remember the oath we all took to uphold the Constitution – and adhere to the legal guardrails and institutional norms on which our justice system relies.

We call on our fellow alumni to join us in sounding the alarm, and in mobilizing to support our colleagues still there. They deserve respect and gratitude, neither of which they’re getting from this administration.

We call on Congress to exercise its oversight responsibilities far more vigorously. Members in both chambers and on both sides of the aisle must provide a meaningful check on the abuses we’re witnessing.

And we call on all Americans – whose safety, prosperity, and rights depend on a strong DOJ – to speak out against its destruction.

Our democracy is only as strong as the rule of law, and the rule of law can’t survive without the principal institution that enforces it.

Trump Has NOTHING to Do with Epstein Bday Letter, Pam Bondi Grilled & Federal Workers Go Without Pay
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Oct 7, 2025 #Kimmel

Costco is now offering Ozempic and Wegovy for half price, hundreds of thousands of federal employees are working without pay including air traffic controllers, the tower at Burbank Airport went unstaffed for six hours yesterday, Mike Johnson said Republicans are praying it’ll be a “very short shutdown,” Trump was asked whether furloughed employees would get retro-active compensation, Marjorie Taylor Greene gave a shocking statement about health insurance, Trump met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the White House and gave him his vision of what America would have been like under President Harris, the Senate Judiciary Committee was at work today hearing testimony from Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi, she refused to deny that border Czar Tom Homan was seen accepting $50k in cash, she dodged a question regarding whether the FBI found photos of Trump and Epstein with topless women, and since Donald Trump claims to have nothing to do with the now infamous Epstein birthday letter, we decided to do a bit of research to see if everything adds up.



Transcript

Hi everyone, I'm Jimmy. I am hosting.
Thank you for joining us here.
Hold on one second. I appreciate that.
But I
I could be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that this guy was
chanting Jerry. Yes.
Yeah, you know, you just you get up and
then you just go down.
Yeah.
You know, with all the bad stuff
happening, it is nice to hear some good
news for a change. And oh, here it is.
Costco is now offering OMIC and WGOI for
half price.
One month supply of those drugs is now
only $500. You don't even need a
prescription. All you have to do is
order three hot dogs at the food court.
They'll automatically give it to you.
Selling Ompic at Costco is kind of like
having an AA meeting at Cabo Wabo, isn't
it? But that's something, right? Maybe
we should let Costco run this country.
President Costco would definitely get my
vote. We are on day seven now
of the Trump government shutdown.
There's been no progress of any kind.
Hundreds of thousands of federal
employees are working without pay,
including air traffic controllers, which
is insane. Why they don't have a special
category for the people who keep the
planes from crashing, I don't know. But
this was the scene yesterday just over
the hill from us in beautiful downtown
Burbank. We just spoke to air traffic
controllers here at Burbank Airport in
the last few minutes and they can now
confirm that they will be heading home
at 4:15 this afternoon. As of 4:15 this
afternoon, there will be no air traffic
controllers inside of that tower right
there.
That's bad, right?
Try to land at 4:14 if you can. What are
the pilots supposed to do when they're
in no air? Just aim for the chilies to
go. It's the tower in Burbank went
unstaffed for 6 hours yesterday. They
had to manage the flights out of San
Diego. And listen to this audio of a
pilot from I I think United Airlines
tower. This is United 2304 requesting
permission to land.
Thank you for calling the Burbank
Airport Control Tower. Please listen
closely as some of our menu options have
changed. For takeoff, press one. For
landing, press two. For all other
inquiries, stay on the line. An operator
is not standing by.
That's great. Soon when we fly, we will
soon have
the same number of air traffic
controllers the Wright brothers had.
Trump really is making America great
again. Flights out of Burbank were
delayed an average of two and a half
hours yesterday. Air traffic controllers
are considered to be considered to be
essential workers, which means they are
required to work even if they aren't
getting paid. Meanwhile, Congress, the
people who actually shut the government
down are getting paid in full. Don't
even try to make sense of it. The logic
doesn't fly. And I would recommend that
you don't either, at least for quite a
while. Our squeaker of the house, Mike
Johnson,
he said Republicans are praying it'll be
a very short shutdown, which is good.
That'll help prayer. Trump was asked
today whether furled employees would get
retroactive compensation once the
shutdown's over, which is required by
law, but you know, the law can be a very
ambiguous thing.
Is it the White House's position that
furled workers should be paid for their
back pay? Uh, I would say it depends on
who we're talking about. I can tell you
this, the Democrats have put a lot of
people in great risk and jeopardy, but
it really depends on who you're talking
about. But for the most part, we're
going to take care of our people. There
are some people that really don't
deserve to be taken care of, and we'll
take care of them in a different way.
Why Why does he always sound like the
dumbest member of the crime family?
You remember in Good Fellas, uh, Frankie
after the airline heist, he immediately
bought his wife a fur coat. Frankie is
our president now. Delvito Corleó. The
reason the Democrats refuse to sign this
budget agreement is because it will
cause millions of Americans to lose
their healthcare. Republicans deny this.
They say it won't hurt anyone at all.
And if you had any doubt that they were
lying before, consider this shocking
post from the gentle woman from Georgia
who wrote, "I'm not a fan of Obamacare,
but I'm going to go against everyone on
this issue because when the tax credits
expire this year, my own adult
children's insurance premiums for 2026
are going to double along with all the
wonderful families and hardworking
people in my district." No, I'm not
towing the party line on this or playing
loyalty games. And I know this sounds
crazy, but I will say it for the second
time in a month. Marjorie Taylor Green
is right.
I know. I
need something to wash out my mouth. Oh,
she's right. Trump met at the White
House today with the prime minister of
Canada, Mark Carney. This poor guy. You
know, Trump
slapped a 35% tariff on Canada after
claiming Canada is a significant source
of migrants and fentinel entering the
United States. And now, in order to get
relief from that tariff, Carney has to
promise he'll cut off the flow of drugs
coming over the Canadian border, which
shouldn't be difficult because of all
the fentinel seized at the US border
last year, 0.2% of it came from Canada.
So basically what Cardi has to do is
like convincing uh your toddler you got
rid of the monster under his bed. He's
gone now. These poor Canadians, it is
like living on top of a meth lab. We
want safe cities. If you look at DC, you
would right now, Mark, you could go out,
take your family out to dinner, you
could walk right down the middle of the
street. There is no crime in DC. Uh when
I got here, this place was a raging hell
hole.
And now it's a raging heaven hole. Thank
you, dear leader. And then raging bull
crap treated the prime minister to his
vision of what America would have been
like under a president Harris.
If we didn't win this election, if we
had these people that were running, that
were ruining our country, destroying our
country with their open borders and men
playing in women's sports and
transgender from everybody and windmills
all over the place.
I'm sorry. I I'm not sure I I heard that
correctly. What was that last item?
Windmills all over the place.
There would be windmills all over the
place. They would have turned the whole
country into a little Dutch village.
I mean, he must have gotten his hair
tangled in a windmill at a mini golf
course or something. It's every day he
says something that would rank right at
the top of the most ridiculous things
any president has ever said. And the
people who work for him, they can't get
enough of it.
What a difference the presidency makes,
Jesse. Right. I mean, we are now totally
over that destructive, stupid era of
toxic masculinity. And now we're in an
era of real masculinity thanks to the
bold muscular leadership of President
Trump and our Secretary of War Pete Hed.
It sounded better in the original North
Korean, but you get the idea. He's got
bold and muscular leadership.
Old muscular. That's right. The swollen
steroid blasted areolas of Donald Trump.
The Senate Judiciary Committee was at
work today hearing testimony from
Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Bondi refused to deny that Borders are
Tom H. Home. Homeman was seen accepting
$50,000 in cash in a paper bag at a Cava
restaurant. He hasn't even denied this
yet. How crazy is it? $50,000 in a bag.
The FBI got it on tape. He's still
running the border. He's still in charge
of rounding up illegals. Hey Tom, if
you're looking for illegals, we found
one living in your house. It's there
were a lot of questions about the
Epstein files. There were no answers
about the Epstein files. Bondi answered
none of them. You know, the author,
Michael Wolf, who has interviewed Trump
repeatedly, says he's seen about a dozen
photographs of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
with topless women. Trump's BF Jeff kept
them in his safe and showed them to this
guy. This morning, uh, Rhode Island
Senator Sheldon White House asked Bondi
if the FBI found those photos.
There's been public reporting that
Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of
President Trump with half naked young
women. Do you know if the FBI found
those photographs? You know, Senator
White House, you sit here and make
salacious remarks once again trying to
slander President Trump left and right.
Didn't hear the word no there. Did you?
Did you hear it, GMO?
No.
No, I didn't hear it either. Well, maybe
it'll help if Senator White House
repeats the question. The question is,
did the FBI find those photographs that
have been discussed publicly
by a witness who claimed Jeffrey Epstein
showed them to him?
You don't know anything about that?
Okay.
Did you eat the Polaroids yourself?
Attorney General, please. And then
Senator Dick Durban of Illinois jumped
in. Attorney General Bondi, why did you
publicly claim to have the Epstein CL
client list waiting for your review and
then produce nothing relevant to that
claim?
Senator Der Senator Dervin, if you
listen to my entire clip on that, I said
I had not reviewed it yet, that it was
sitting on my desk along with the JFK
files, the Martin Luther King files, and
I said I had not yet reviewed it.
Right. Other things to do. Do you want
Bigfoot making your kid trans? No, let
me do my job. One thing we know for sure
is that Donald Trump doesn't want us to
see these files, which to me is all you
need to know. I mean, you walk in on
your teenager, he suddenly pulls up the
covers and slams his laptop shut. I
think you have a pretty good idea of why
you don't need to look at his browser
history. But for whatever reason, we are
still waiting for those files. One thing
Pam Bondi did not get asked about is the
now infamous Epstein birthday letter
that was released last month by the
House Oversight Committee. Trump is
suing the Wall Street Journal for $10
billion over this letter, which our
doodler and chief denies he had anything
to do with.
Did you sign the WFC birthday letter?
It's not my signature and it's not the
way I speak. And anybody that's covered
me for a long time know that's not my
language. It's nonsense.
It's an interesting statement. It's not
the way I speak. And anybody that's
covered me for a long time knows that's
not my language. Now, we've been
covering Donald Trump for what feels
like a very, very long time. And in the
interest of fairness, we decided to do a
bit of research to see maybe he's right.
Does he use the words and phrases that
are used in that letter? That's not for
me to say. It's for you to decide for
yourself.
Voice over. There must be more to life
than having everything.
Look what I have. I have everything.
I have everything.
We have everything.
Donald, yes, there is. But I won't tell
you what it is.
Oh, yes, there is. And I won't tell you
what it is.
Yes, there is. I won't tell you what it
is.
I won't tell you who it was. But,
Jeffrey, nor will I since I also know
what it is.
Nor do I.
Nor did I. Nor do I.
Nor would I. And I know what it is. I
know what it is. I know what it is.
Donald, we have certain things in
common, Jeffrey.
We have a lot of things in common. I
think we have a lot of things in common.
Certain things certain things things in
common.
Right, Jeffrey?
Jeffrey? Yes, we do. Come to think of
it.
Yes, we do. Yes, we do.
Come to think of it. Come to
Yes, we do.
Donald, enigmas never age. Have you
noticed that?
Carson's an enigma. An enigma.
Have you noticed it? Well, you noticed
that,
Jeffrey. As a matter of fact, it was
clear to me the last time I saw you.
As a matter of fact,
as a matter of fact,
it was clear the last time I saw The
last time I saw him was at Mara Lago.
Trump, a pal is a wonderful thing.
He's my friend. My pal.
He's my pal. Is a wonderful thing. It's
a wonderful thing. Wonderful. Wonderful.
Wonderful thing.
Happy birthday. And may every day be
another wonderful secret.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday. May your
dreams come true. May you all have a
truly blessed Hanukkah. Let's talk about
a big secret. Big secret. Big secret.
Incredible secret. Wonderful.
Wonderful secrets. Secrets.
Our most precious secret. Jeffrey,
wherever you may be, Jeffrey. Thank you.
Oh, happy birthday.
Well, I you know what? I stand
corrected. It definitely wasn't written
by him.
