Transcript
- 0:00Good morning, everyone. My name is Brandon Fogel. This is Evolution,
- 0:03the only legitimate evolution there is.
- 0:05The saga continues with Candace Owens and her getting to the bottom of what
- 0:11happened on that day, September 10th, 2025, when Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
- 0:17It started there, but where she has went with this whole investigation,
- 0:23it's touched on so many different levels, accused or implicitly accused so many different people.
- 0:30And you could say that she's getting to the bottom of it.
- 0:34But when we actually sit back and analyze where she's landed is on Turning Point USA and Erica Kirk.
- 0:42That's where she is kind of just plopped down and she is, she's not moving from that, that point.
- 0:48And if you would have told Charlie Kirk that this was going to be his legacy,
- 0:52and this is what, what he built and poured his blood, sweat and tears in for all his life, his life.
- 0:57He founded a turning point, got married to Erica, had children with her.
- 1:03And that he was going to die by this horrific death.
- 1:06And then Candace Owens was going to just berate his widow and just terrorize
- 1:15her family and the company that he just did everything he could to build and
- 1:21make a make something that could actually be good for this world.
- 1:25It's it's been sad to watch it's been tough to
- 1:28watch and I try to come to it even keeled
- 1:31and with a open mind every episode
- 1:35like whenever I sit and listen to Candace Owens
- 1:38whenever I'm listening to it in the background or however I try
- 1:41to have an open mind but where she has taken this seems
- 1:44like it's too far and it's and it's
- 1:47like there's never any there there but there has been some
- 1:50things that I think she's bringing to light she's focusing on
- 1:53Turning Point USA and lately it's the firings
- 1:56the letting go of employees at turning
- 1:59point usa and saying that erica she almost
- 2:02portrayed mixed maybe just misled people at the beginning that she had the best
- 2:08intentions for her employees and where we're going with this and she was just
- 2:12misleading everyone let's actually take a look at this this is this is the phone
- 2:17call that was leaked by employees at turning point USA.
- 2:20And before we get into it, there is so much that people can,
- 2:24obviously with any organization, there's going to be sins and failures.
- 2:28There's, it's not going to be perfect. So I don't want to just say like,
- 2:31I'm defending turn, turn in point USA. Cause.
- 2:34Any organization, especially a Christian organization that portrays itself as
- 2:38a Christian organization, is not always going to be the best example. They're not.
- 2:43But this is the leaked phone call that she gets into the Erica basically five
- 2:48days after Charlie was assassinated.
- 2:50Erica is going to address the company for the first time. That's not a small
- 2:54task, by the way. She is, as you will see, at the office.
- 2:57She doesn't have full hair and makeup on, which, of course, I think I welcome
- 3:01that as a good thing. I don't expect her to be at the office,
- 3:04but I'm happy that she's not in full hair and makeup because this is five and
- 3:08a half days after her husband was pronounced dead.
- 3:10This is before we've had his funeral, anything.
- 3:13And I'm going to let you decide. And I'm going to tell you that
- 3:16the employees that chose to record this and the employees that are still there
- 3:24and upset with the manner in which people were fired are saying that they feel
- 3:29like it was like a cult. Like they knew something was off.
- 3:33They felt like they were being manipulated, that they were only given Erica
- 3:39as this symbol of you guys need to work harder. Right.
- 3:44It was certainly the fog of war when all that was going down.
- 3:47And to say that it felt like a cult, that it was a cult.
- 3:51Yeah, probably. I mean, it probably could because these are disgruntled employees
- 3:55that are no longer there.
- 3:57They're not going to be happy. You know, within any organization,
- 4:01everybody knows this, wherever you work, people aren't always going to be the
- 4:05happiest people there because you know that the people that are employing you
- 4:10can get rid of you in a second.
- 4:13They don't, there is no loyalty with anyone.
- 4:16Everybody understands that. And I've found, like myself, just a little...
- 4:21A side note for me, I've worked at places where like, I thought it was a Christian
- 4:26organization and that was almost the toughest.
- 4:29I had a really terrible moment in my life where I was at an organization which
- 4:33portrayed itself almost like kind of Christian, you know, it has in the mission
- 4:37statement, God and everything.
- 4:38And you're among Christians and then being let go from there.
- 4:42And I really struggled with that. Honestly, I really struggled with that because
- 4:46I was like, these are brothers and sisters in Christ or, and actually,
- 4:51I'm just saying, I don't remember any, there was probably women there,
- 4:54there was, I'm sure there was, but I just remember the brothers in Christ.
- 4:57And it's like being let go from there. It was tough because it's,
- 5:00you think that there's something underneath the surface that people are going
- 5:04to keep you there if you're not, not a good fit. And I probably wasn't a good fit.
- 5:08It was early on becoming like, and, and doing things and, and trying to build
- 5:13my career and, and grow and everything.
- 5:15And I was let go of those businesses have to make decisions and there is no
- 5:19loyalty, there is no love, and it is a very, very just dry...
- 5:26Staunchy place. And just to think that you're, that you're going to find your best friends there.
- 5:30You're going to find your, the people that you're going to spend the rest of
- 5:33your life with, you're there on business and you have to separate personal and business.
- 5:38And, and that for me was, I had to go through years of just like,
- 5:42honestly, forgiveness in my heart.
- 5:43Like I, I felt like that because it was something that kept reminding me,
- 5:47like, how, how could like Christians be like that? be so cold.
- 5:52Like the coldest blooded people, it felt like they were just like, we're done with you.
- 5:56Trying to almost tell me not to go in a certain way in my life to say,
- 6:00oh, like have some loyalty here, but don't go down this road,
- 6:03like as in further an education or whatever.
- 6:05And I was like, and, and just trying to like, even throw that out from under
- 6:08me, but then drop me the next day. And it was a struggle is definitely a struggle.
- 6:13So I understand why these employees, these people there, they're not too happy
- 6:17about it to be just let go on a whim probably because of things that Candace Owens has stirred up.
- 6:23She has put turning point in the crosshairs.
- 6:26It just reminds, it just always reminds me of like, why would Charlie,
- 6:32how could he be looking down from heaven and being pleased with what Candace Owens is doing?
- 6:38How could, it boggles the mind. And I don't know if she even is even on that
- 6:42or if she ever was on that. She made it seem like she's a friend of Charlie, but.
- 6:46But how could you, you can't really have both in the same time.
- 6:49How could you be a friend of Charlie, but then you're trying to destroy his
- 6:53wife, everything, her reputation and her credibility.
- 6:56It's become a funny thing now of just making fun of Erica Kirk and just the
- 7:01whole turning point thing. The organization is separate to me.
- 7:04Like they're going to, organizations are cold. They're companies, they're business.
- 7:08They're doing what's in their best interest. And they can throw off this cultish vibe.
- 7:14They can because if you start like saying how much
- 7:17do you really love being here we we we need you
- 7:19here we're we're behind you we're always going to
- 7:22be there they will drop you in a in a matter of moments if it doesn't fit with
- 7:27their bottom line what they care about any organization no one is absolved from
- 7:31this all christian organizations all businesses they care about their bottom
- 7:37line that's all it matters all right this is where she's going to get into this is just almost to me,
- 7:42it's very comical because she brings up the matrix that we're in.
- 7:46And it's a real thing. It's a real thing.
- 7:48I would say that we exist in a time right now where we recognize that we live in a matrix.
- 7:53Like we actually live in a matrix and that matrix is fully glitching.
- 7:58We don't know where this is going to end. It's sort of like we know they're lying.
- 8:04They're caught lying. They know that they've lost power, but they're still going
- 8:06to create this illusion that they haven't.
- 8:08They're going to keep writing articles. They're going to keep smearing people
- 8:11that are telling the truth, even though it's ineffectual.
- 8:13We actually don't care anymore what they're writing, but they're going to keep
- 8:17doing it. They're going to tell us who we have to like.
- 8:19They're going to keep pretending that these people are popular and these people are awful.
- 8:25When does it stop? Everything feels fake and gay and fictitious.
- 8:30And we're learning that people who pretended that they cared about free speech
- 8:34are the number one people that are trying to squash it. They're trying to squash it now.
- 8:39And this they, where this always lands and where underneath the surface, what people.
- 8:47Never actually want to get out and say it, but they always just want to implicitly
- 8:51characterize and just sarcastically just dismiss and just throw out there.
- 8:57It's always the Jews. It's always the Jews. It's always Israel. Whatever you think.
- 9:03And because that's, I heard like Andrew Tate the other week,
- 9:06he said, Candace is being propped up there.
- 9:09They're allowing this black woman to just continue to rant and just say all
- 9:12these things because no one's taking her seriously.
- 9:14She is certainly being taken seriously by a lot of people
- 9:17because she's influenced the zeitgeist the
- 9:20the the ethos that we're in she the whole this way this experience that we're
- 9:26all finding on the internet this sarcastic cynical vibe that just thinks that
- 9:32there's some there's something behind everything and it always is the jews and
- 9:36what to entertain he said i know who killed charlie Kirk.
- 9:40He said, I know who killed Charlie Kirk, but I can't say.
- 9:42And he keeps saying, there's so many things, I can only go so far.
- 9:47And I can't really say it because if I reveal everything, then they're going to kill me.
- 9:52And they're going to take me out. I can only say so much. We all know what he's saying.
- 9:58It's always the Jews. It's always the rich billionaires who are of Israel.
- 10:02That's where it always goes. And there's people that just don't want to say it.
- 10:07Like him, he makes it seem like there's something bigger going on,
- 10:12which to me, there really is something probably going on there.
- 10:16But we all know what you're talking about.
- 10:19And Candace, we all know what you're talking about. It's always Israel. It's always the Jews.
- 10:24And this anti-Semitic spirit that has been unleashed upon our population and upon the Western world.
- 10:32It's, it's, it's rising up. It's getting bigger and bigger and it's becoming just mainstream.
- 10:37It's no longer just nuanced of our articulating the position that Jewish people
- 10:42have a lot, a lot of power.
- 10:43They have a lot of power, but you could say that about anyone,
- 10:47any nationality, any ethnicity.
- 10:50There's people in different positions that are rich, you know,
- 10:53but we always assume that the Jews are the evil ones, that the Jews are the
- 10:59ones that are terrible. And they're the ones that are calling,
- 11:02pulling these strings, calling these hit jobs.
- 11:05And, but you can't say it. We know where this is all going. It's,
- 11:09it's, it's her, her point is Israel's behind it.
- 11:12The Jews are behind it. And Erica, Erica Kirk and Turning Point USA covered it up.
- 11:18They were entangled in it. This is the, the, the explicit, explicit nature of
- 11:24what she's saying. but she implicitly says it every episode and hints at it.
- 11:30And she can't say too much.
- 11:31It's always just, I don't know about that.
- 11:34We know what you're saying. It's the Jews. It's always the Jews. It's always Israel.
- 11:40It's that's that's what it always comes down to. And people just they they just
- 11:44just just live in this play world like we don't know what you're talking about.
- 11:49We know what you're talking about. We know what you're saying.
- 11:52And it is it is it does get very dark because this is a horrific thing that
- 11:58we saw Charlie Kirk being assassinated. That was horrific.
- 12:02And she keeps like saying like how Erica Kirk, her just being happy and not
- 12:07grieving the way somebody would grieve.
- 12:09Really? I mean, if there is something there that she, somehow Erica Kirk was
- 12:14behind it and involved in it, I mean, that would be something.
- 12:18But if she's not, and you're just tearing this widow apart to pieces by the,
- 12:24a person that you said was one of your best friends, that you were friends and
- 12:27you care nothing about him.
- 12:28Because when this all started off, it all, we quickly forget,
- 12:32She said, the only person that could get me to stop would be Erica or my husband.
- 12:37Erica eventually, after months, said stop. And now it's become a meme,
- 12:41something just funny, making fun of Erica.
- 12:43And she's jumping up. She's, you know, pyrotechnics, you know,
- 12:46she's just having the time of her life.
- 12:49I mean, that would be next level.
- 12:52She was a double agent of Israel.
- 12:55Are we going to say that's what you're being explicit, Candace.
- 13:00Don't just keep hinting at things.
- 13:02Be explicit. What do you actually think happened? Because now it's just,
- 13:07it's purely smear campaign on Erica and purely smear campaign on Turning Point
- 13:13USA. That's all it is now.
- 13:15There's nothing else more, and we're not finding anything else, nothing new.
- 13:20It has nothing to do about Charlie's assassination, what actually happened anymore.
- 13:23It's purely just want to destroy Erica Kirk for some reason and want to destroy
- 13:27Turning Point, which Charlie built.
- 13:30That was his whole life legacy, and that's what it is. And it's continuing to roll.
- 13:35It's continuing to go. But I think she's just lost where she doesn't care anymore.
- 13:41And she knows that if she does, she's going to be sued and all this,
- 13:45and they're going to continue to just rack up charges.
- 13:49How much damage have you caused to our organization?
- 13:51She knows where she's at. The lawsuits are going to be coming.
- 13:55But I love how she brings these things to light.
- 13:58But where she's just assuming that her people
- 14:01are going to just take care of her and fund her and whatever
- 14:04legal bill she's going to have people that her audience is just going to pay
- 14:08for them all that's what it feels like let me know if you think i'm off let
- 14:12me know if you think i'm if right on the money because i am but let me know
