Candace Owens covers Katie Britt's departure, the Charlie Kirk statue vandalism update, Erika Kirk's school tour, and TPUSA clip campaigns
Candace Owens hosts a solo episode of the Candace podcast.
Summary
Candace Owens opens with the departure of White House press secretary Katie Britt, expressing mock-mourning while contrasting her exit with Pete Hegseth's continued tenure despite what Owens describes as far more serious conduct. She then delivers an update on the vandalized Charlie Kirk statue, revealing that Tyler Bowyer told a follower via Instagram DM that "gang bangers" wearing masks and covering their license plates were responsible — and that the police hit a dead end. Owens presents this explanation with heavy skepticism. She also reveals evidence from a Discord server showing that Erika Kirk's public image has been boosted through paid clip campaigns, including a $10-per-clip incentive tied specifically to the White House Correspondents' Dinner footage — corroborating an earlier email she says directed military and White House staff to promote that clip. She further reports that Erika Kirk has been scheduled as a special guest at a PreK-through-12 Christian school chapel for a Veterans Day assembly, drawing complaints from parents. The episode closes with reader comments and a brief update on TPUSA-adjacent figures, including a 2004 child pornography investigation involving Blake Neff's father, Kenneth Neff, and Val Peterson's past board membership at the hospital where Charlie Kirk was taken.

FULL TRANSCRIPT
Katie Britt's Departure as Press Secretary
Candace Owens: All right, you guys. I would normally say happy Monday, but our girl is gone. She is gone. Katie Britt, press secretary — the one I had only just begun to warm to — she is no longer, and we all have a right to feel the feels. I feel sad about that. It's a national day of mourning in my view, because she meant well. Okay, she did bad, but she meant well. Katie, wherever you are, I want you to know that you will always be an attorney in my book.
She'll always be my baby. No, she will always be my press secretary lady. It's just sad. The gaslight is over before it truly began. Now it's about who's going to take her place, who's going to be able to fill that void that we all feel in our hearts right now. I personally want Laura Loomer or Erika Kirk. That's it. No exceptions. Either Laura Loomer or Erika Kirk, because I just want to accelerate things now. It's all so crazy. We should just throw an accelerant on top of this dumpster fire that is the Trump administration 2.0.
Speaking of which, I have an update for you guys. Get excited — regarding the vandalized statue of Charlie Kirk. You're not going to believe it. Okay, yeah, you will. Actually, you'll probably believe it.
Guys, what can I say? We only have four more episodes before my maternity leave. What is Blake going to do? I'm so concerned about Blake. Welcome back to Candace.
The Charlie Kirk Statue Vandalism Update
It is a fantastic update, truly, because it's all of the stuff that Turning Point USA 2.0 is made of. Sparkles and glitter, that Las Vegas showgirl kind of story that just puts you in a good mood on a Monday morning. I received an update on Thursday and I was so very excited to share it with you all today.
Special shout out to a sleuth out in Alaska named Jenny. I also want to say sorry, because I messaged — and this was a big tease — I messaged Bobby Sauce at Take Naps on Instagram, and I said he's been on top of the story for a long time asking for updates. I was like, "I can't give you the update because it's too good, but I want you to know I have an update."
Anyway, as a mild refresher: Turning Point Action's Tyler Bowyer is the one who had the Charlie Kirk statue erected in memoriam on the one-year anniversary of Charlie's death. Tyler Bowyer, you will recall, as I have asserted a great many times on this podcast, is a sexual deviant who would potentially even be in federal prison were it not for the presidential pardon that he received from Trump back in November of last year for federal charges pertaining to elector business out in Arizona. The point is that Tyler Bowyer is a shady guy. He's also the person who happened to introduce Erika to Charlie. I would say she's a shady gal. He's exactly the kind of character one might suspect of coming up with a get-rich-quick sort of scheme. Potentially a Jussie Smollett-type scheme — hiring two Black Nigerian actors to put a noose around your neck during a polar vortex out in Chicago type scheme. Staging a racial hate crime against yourself because it's beneficial.
Now, if I'm being completely honest, I would probably rank Jussie Smollett's moral character above that of Tyler Bowyer. And let's be honest, we all thought about it in the back of our minds when they started doing the bit — when Turning Point started doing the bit, that formula that they seem to have down: wall-to-wall media coverage, informing the public that something terrible has happened, something that's supposed to make us feel emotional, and then they instantly tell us the best way to combat that terrible thing.
"The best way you can do that is going to tpusa.com."
Okay. Not the line I would have gone with less than 48 hours after my husband's public assassination, but you get it. It's their thing. And they started doing the thing again following the White House Correspondents' Dinner — we're going to discuss that too later. Trump needs a ballroom. Erika: "I just want to go home." And then we have the statue vandalization.
And we were careful. We didn't say too much. It seemed a little too on the nose. We all thought, okay, but also — would they really fake that? No way. Under the current cloud of suspicion that lingers over Turning Point USA headquarters, would they be so bold as to fake a statue hate crime? Because that would also be kind of sadistic, right? That they might be orchestrating red paint to be put in the exact place on Charlie's neck that he bled out from. I was like, too evil. But we also noticed it sure is weird that they're refusing to release any further details regarding the suspect. The CEO and chairwoman of the organization is Charlie's wife. She could simply release more details to the public so the public could help discover who the vandals were. Car description, how many people, height, male or female, more than one person — releasing those sorts of details immediately would have allowed concerned citizens to pitch in. But now it's been over a month since the incident took place. We have nothing from what must be the most heavily secured and surveilled work campus in America following Charlie's assassination.
Don't worry, guys. That's what I'm here for. Today I have an update for you straight from Tyler Bowyer himself. Yes. Because Tyler, for whatever reason, gets a little loosey-goosey on social media. Like, we've talked about this — he'll randomly tweet something at 3:00 a.m., or he'll randomly respond to people on social media via DMs. He will suddenly defend the honor of the organization, call people names in the comfort of his Instagram DMs. And while someone was live-watching this show on Thursday, they just sent him a message and asked him flat out, "Hey, what happened with the statue?" And ladies and gentlemen, drum roll please — Tyler Bowyer provided some answers.
Here's what he said. The person asked at 4:31 p.m., "Did you ever figure out who defaced the statue of Charlie? Curious if you ever released footage of who to look out for?" And Tyler says, "The cops investigated, but the gang bangers all had masks on and covered their plate."
Okay. So the cops investigated it, but the gang bangers all had masks on and covered their license plate. And then the person comes back and says, "Wow, how unfortunate," and then asks a question clearly about just releasing some images so the public can get involved. And Tyler comes back and he says, "How does more cameras help with people that were wearing hoodies and masks?" LOL.
It's so funny. Conspiracy theorists. You can't even use basic logic. They were wearing hoodies and masks and they covered their license plates. So we know there's more than one person. And they also covered their license plates. So the cops hit a dead end. They hit a snag. And then the person comes back and says, "Yeah, you'd be amazed at what some cameras can do," and then says, "What's crazier is running out of financial resources and needing more." Just clocks him on that immediately. And Tyler comes back and he says, "Yes, the statue is near and dear to me because I worked with the artist to get it right. I appreciate your approval, random person with bad intent." Ha.
Okay, so the gang bangers did it. First thing I want you to know: these were gang bangers. The second thing we have learned is that they were wearing masks. And the third thing we have learned is that they had covered their license plates and so the cops hit a snag. That's it. What do you want Turning Point USA to do? The story ends there. The gang bangers outsmarted the world. It was a highly sophisticated crime. They wore masks and they covered their license plates. So the police just said, "I give up. Case closed." And as Tyler has made it clear, if you find that explanation to be remotely suspicious, it's because you're a conspiracy theorist.
What more could be done here? Everyone knows in America that if you wear a mask and you cover your license plates, you can pretty much do whatever you want in this country. You can go rob a bank. It's a foolproof strategy. There is absolutely no way they could track you. If you're thinking, "Whoa, I thought Arizona has like 2,600 block cameras — couldn't they have just traced them back?" — and by the way, even if the gang bangers did cover the license plate, why wouldn't you tell the public what kind of car they drove? A detailed description. Maybe somebody recognizes the clothes they're wearing. No, you would be wrong. And I would even venture to say that you might even be demonic. That tends to happen a lot. Won't be long before the pastors are saying, "Why are you asking questions? That's demonic."
Erika is not concerned about it. And the main takeaway — and I really do hope that after I've shared this incredible information about how they got away with it, that people like Bobby Sauce will leave it alone and just let it go. This is how America works. Wear a mask. Do whatever you want. And if you have further questions beyond that, I'm just feeling heaven-focused. I don't have time to explain it to you. The case is closed.
Now, in similar news, I want you guys to know that over the weekend, someone broke into our podcast studio and they threw bleach on my Brigitte doll. We can't show you any images. Suffice it to say it was in fact an LGBTQ hate crime, because John-Michel Trogneux is gay, and we just want to ask you guys all to head to candaceowens.com. Here's what you can do: head to candaceowens.com and buy a stand cup. That's what you can do right now. The left will not win. The left did this, and the left will not win. Thank you very much.
The Erika Kirk Clipping Campaign
Which brings us to the clipping campaign, guys. Erika — the emotional asset. Truly, I think out of a lot of explosive discoveries, the clipping campaign ranks pretty high. We told you guys about this entire website, Monster Lab, which appears to have been created to support Erika's public image almost immediately after Charlie's assassination. They've since — and I will fully credit The Atlantic for sort of breaking this news, and then I sort of just realized how much it fit into what we had covered on this show — we learned that they are now attempting to delete their footprints over the net, but the internet is forever.
And Baron Coleman found a relic of a campaign from February of this year. It looks like the Latvian Dweeb was working to bolster Erika's image, but he had some very strict instructions for those who were getting in on the money. Check this out.
Do we have actual evidence of Erika Kirk campaigns? Well, in fact, we do. I'll show you some of it. Here's one piece of evidence about AmericaFest. Someone's asking when they're going to get paid for the AmericaFest thing — the Erika Kirk AmericaFest thing. Now, why were we able to find this when they've deleted all the Erika Kirk stuff? Because they didn't spell her name correctly. It was "Ekka Kirk." So it got past them and it remained on the server and we were able to find it.
"When are we getting paid for the Erika Kirk AmericaFest thing?" — notice this is February 22nd, 2026. The Erika Kirk AmericaFest thing was in December of 2025. "When are we getting paid? Somebody has their thing up. I should have 15 bucks." Delete the message. See that? Delete the message. Why are they telling this person to delete the message? "Don't use her name, though. Serious. Don't use her name. Delete the message."
What's a good way to get kicked out of this thing? Let people know that we're doing this for Erika Kirk. Let people know we're promoting Erika Kirk and you're gone. You can't talk about it publicly, guys. First rule of Fight Club is you can't talk about Fight Club. Notice the emoji they use when someone mentions her name — they're using the stop emoji. "I lowkey need my staff tag." They said use the word "EK." Why? Plausible deniability. "Ask an AI chat, bro. You're going to get banned." You're going to get banned for mentioning Erika Kirk's name. Why? Because we need it to look organic.
We have this woman who cannot possibly be supported on her own merit. We're going to have to invest millions of dollars in supporting this woman. We're going to have to run clip campaigns all over social media so people can think she's great, but we don't want anyone to talk about it. First rule of Fight Club, you can't talk about Fight Club. Erika Kirk is Fight Club. Not allowed to talk about Fight Club.
Erika Kirk is Fight Club. And I've got to tell you, it's going to get worse. Because you remember back when we broke the story regarding the email that went out on the night of the White House Correspondents' Dinner to people in the executive branch, people in the military, telling them to promote this clip of Erika — "I just want to go home." They cited her as an emotional asset.
It's relevant now to remind you that Blake Neff, Erika's dear friend, was by her side when she uttered that now-infamous phrase. Someone was there to capture it. Suddenly it was everywhere, and it didn't feel organic to us. And it's now relevant, of course, because we know that Blake's company, Enclave Key, is exactly the company that could and did make various clips of Erika Kirk go viral via Monster Lab. Right when Monster Lab launched, it almost seemed like they were their first big client.
Well, guess what, everybody? It appears that regarding the White House Correspondents' Dinner, that may have been exactly what happened. Because check out this relic that we found on Discord. Somebody wrote, "I don't think we've gotten the $10 incentive for the AL." What Daisy was referencing there is that the clipping campaign is called "anti-left." "The AL White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting where Erika cried, plus the people who ML forgot to calculate our views before the update — hasn't been sent yet. So please put us into consideration. We did not get our $10 incentive for promoting the White House Correspondents' Dinner clip."
Ah, there it is. Didn't feel organic. They gaslit us. We said we found an email which showed that the White House and the military and the DoD all seem to be involved in wanting to promote this clip. And at the time, we didn't even think or know anything about Blake Neff's involvement in this. And here it is. It all comes together under a clip campaign, and it lines up exactly with the email that we intercepted, which directed for that clip in particular to be boosted, to go out to their digital partners, and to make sure that this is number one.
So yes, it is entirely plausible that Blake's Enclave Key, which had already been providing the Google Drive filled with Erika clips beginning on September 15th, put up that money to make the clip go viral. A $10 incentive to make that clip go viral. How sinister. How sinister.
Again, that same formula, that exact same formula. Something terrible happens. Our emotions are high. And then what happened after? Erika dressed the nation again — dressed this time like Janet Jackson. Crazy.
Blake Neff's Father and the Child Pornography Investigation
By the way, guys, I also regret to inform you that sadly our list of those who are adjacent to child abuse scandals and also within the Turning Point USA orbit is about to get a little bit longer. Because someone emailed us a tip that Blake's father — Blake's father, Kenneth Neff, who also goes by Kenny — was raided back in 2004.
Check out this article. It tells us: "Neff Brother Subject in Child Porn Probe. Kenny Neff, the brother of hotel casino developer Steve Neff, is the subject of the same international child pornography investigation that netted another local man earlier this month, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation. Kenny Neff, 50, came under suspicion when investigators taking part in Operation Predator discovered his name on a website where child porn images were trafficked. The source said authorities confiscated a computer from Kenny Neff's home last week and were searching its hard drive for images of child pornography, an involved process that could take some time. The source said Operation Predator, started in July under the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, targets child sex tourists, human traffickers, internet predators, and other child sexual predators worldwide. The operation has led to more than 1,700 arrests in the United States."
I don't know what to say. It's just a recurring theme. Does make me wonder what Charlie said no to. What could have been the thing that Charlie said no to that could have taken Turning Point USA to the next level? Definitely makes you think about what he was going through — getting calls from the White House, meetings about the Epstein scandal, that's global human trafficking. I don't know. The answer is I don't know. But Erika makes me uncomfortable.
Val Peterson and Timpanogos Hospital
By the way, there's another interesting development — this time regarding the man, the myth, the Utah legend, Val Peterson, the Vice President of Facilities over at UVU. Some multi-hyphenated character. He's a Utah House rep. The brigadier general. The brother of another alleged — innocent until proven guilty — individual. Well, his credentials just keep credentialing, Val.
Because I was kind of surprised to see this, but according to Val's current government biography and the UVU website, he sat on the board of Timpanogos Hospital — the very hospital that Charlie was transported to. And at one point, he also sat on the board of Provo Airport. He is a very busy, busy guy.
I tried to look it up. He is no longer on the board as of 2019. I would imagine that those contacts would still be pretty strong. So I was like, who else is on the board of Timpanogos Hospital? And unfortunately, that information is not public. I'd like to know that information. If you happen to know who the board members are at Timpanogos, now it feels like something I'd like to know. Please email us at moretips@candace.com.
Val's a busy guy. I don't even know why Val would be picked to be on the board of a hospital. I don't know what in his background — when you pick a board, it's like, relevant to — hey, we want a former doctor, former surgeon, help us run a hospital. What is his expertise there, other than just being an important, well-connected guy?
And of course, I just want to know if he met up with Governor Cox on September 10th, because we have been informed — as I told you — by two extremely reliable sources that he did. And we told you that also. In the interest of getting to the truth, we reached out to Governor Cox's office last week on Thursday, seeking a confirmation or a denial, which we would have loved to update the public with. But thus far, we have not received a response. We'll certainly keep you posted.
Katie Britt's Departure — Further Thoughts
All right, you guys. Katie Britt is gone. And I had just obviously become obsessed with her. I was like, "Yes, actually, this is exactly what the nation needs." Attorney, maybe lawyer. Look, relative to the lies that the Trump administration has told us, I feel like this is so minuscule. Who cares? She feels like a lawyer. She feels like an attorney. She feels like a doctor. Who actually cares? She seemed like she was nice, and that counts for something.
I mean, we've got Pete Hegseth who's still there. He's lying about bombing Iranian schools filled with children. Nobody cares. He's allowed to stay around. This feels like a lot of people were focusing on her and it wasn't right, honestly.
Anyway, it says that it was relevant — Trump had some embarrassment, which is crazy, I didn't even know he was capable of emotion — regarding not knowing that she wasn't a practicing attorney. She certainly presented herself as a practicing attorney. Of course, she was a bit of a disaster when she presented in front of the press, and her answer wasn't that strong when they asked her where she got her bar from, where she passed the bar exam, and she said, "I went to China." Not the best thing. Not the worst thing either.
She tweeted this out on October 16th. She said, "President Trump is a kind, wonderful, gracious, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and hardworking man. I wish more Americans appreciated him. No one will ever make America great the way that he has and continues to. It was an honor to work for him." So, back to Fox News she goes. She will continue to worship Trump. And that's how Trump likes the blondes on Fox News — he just wants them to worship him and never critique him. He loves to live in that cave.
Anyway, I've got to show you this, because I'm always impressed at how much I am on the same wavelength as Tim Dylan. That's why I say, when I become dictator of the United States, he's most likely going to be my press secretary, because we are just always thinking the same thing. He was a fan of Katie Britt, and he also had the same perspective as I did regarding this bizarre push for a public execution, and then instantly the influencers were trying to make it seem like that was a totally normal development and not actually maybe a sign that this administration is crashing and burning.
I do feel like we are at the end of the Trump administration. Like, everything's coming apart and things are getting crazier and crazier. And Tim Dylan just had such a perfect bit describing not just Katie Britt's exit, but also Pete Hegseth's plan for a live execution — all kind of happening at the same time. Take a listen.
Tim Dylan: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan Show. Katie Britt — I believe that's her name — she was the press secretary. We hardly knew her and she's out. She had a disastrous first up at bat and they pulled her, because frankly this is not the time for bad liars. This is not the time in this administration where they need people who cannot lie convincingly. This is the time to bring in the top-level liars who are well-versed and who can come in and spin a fable, because nothing's going well. Everybody's turning on each other. And at this point, Trump is increasingly isolated. People are preparing for a post-Trump GOP. He's losing his political power. And in a few weeks, they might be — and I would imagine they would be — facing a Democratic Congress. They'll have potentially a Democratic Senate. And then there's just going to be impeachment investigations. I would imagine the Democrats are going to launch investigations into the crypto scams and into the stuff Hegseth is doing.
And they were, to their credit, in the situation room or one of the rooms, and they were going, "Listen, just spitballing here — what if we live-streamed an execution to get the people back? Because the gas is up and the food is up and the prices are up. But what if we live-streamed an execution? Would people be that upset that the gas is very expensive and the food is expensive? Would they care if they knew that they could go home and watch a live-streamed execution?"
Now, I don't know if it was going to be free or if you were going to have to pay. I don't know if there was going to be a version where there was like an ad-free execution if you paid — sort of like a premium package — or if it was going to be like you could watch the execution with ads for free, which I think would have been fair. Like, if you pay a premium and you have a better package, you'll get an execution ad-free, but maybe you'd have to sit through a couple of ads right before the execution because they would place the ads in a way that you had to watch them. So they would be like, "And is everybody ready for the execution?" "Yes." "May God have mercy on your soul." "Yes." And then a nice ad break. And you'd have to sit there, you'd have to watch the ads, and then it would come on, and then the Fort Hood shooter would get shot in the head. But that was their idea.
Candace Owens: Just like — that's probably what happened, guys. I mean, that's where we are right now. It was so insane. And then people trying to pretend like it wasn't insane. I do think they were just sort of spitballing — like, hey, what can we do? Midterms are around the corner. What if we just shot someone in the head? You should watch this entire episode because he is just on the money with everything that's going on. It's all just kind of coming apart and they're holding on for dear life. I don't even know for what. Potentially just — yeah. We'll pull the midterms together by just publicly executing someone and live-streaming it. Totally insane.
And that's why I said I just want to accelerate. I'm just like, "Hey, bring in Erika Kirk as the press secretary. Bring in the emotional asset as the press secretary." She's already said she's like a doctor, and no one cares that she's lied about her entire background. It would be fantastic to have her there. I'd also like to see Laura Loomer there. That's the best way for us to deal with things — let's not even fight it anymore. Let's just go with it.
Erika Kirk's PreK School Tour
And speaking of Erika, by the way — do you want to hear this? This is regarding what I just keep saying is this frankly bizarre pursuit of middle school audiences now via Club America. Bizarre because it's being administratively forced and they're counting it as wins. Nobody is asking for her to come to their school. That clearly means it's not a demonstration of the free markets that Charlie believed in. That's a demonstration of top-down power. That's the exact opposite of grassroots, where kids go, "Hey, do you want to come? Do you want to hear Erika speak?" And it's weird. It's weird to keep showing up places that you're not invited because you have powerful friends that have money and probably donate to these places. It's weird. Full stop.
And it gets especially weird when we start talking about preschoolers — PreK. And that's what's happening now, folks. We have received a ton of emails from parents at a school — a school which we're choosing not to name because obviously we don't want to put a spotlight on the school given the ages of the children. If this was a college, I would say it, but we're talking PreK through 12 — for a Veterans Day assembly. Is Erika a veteran? Did she serve the country? No.
I kid you not, it's another Christian school and they're announcing her as a special guest for chapel. The entire school is going to be seated for this. I'm going to show you this flyer, which obviously we are heavily blacking out to protect the school. She's a special guest. A special guest to who? "We warmly invite veterans and active military members." And they're going to have this chapel with special guest Erika Kirk. Why?
I'm getting emails from people who have students in PreK, in second grade, in first grade, going, "What is going on? We don't endorse this person. Why is she coming to our school?"
Now, it is worth noting that this time they're trying to do it a little bit better. Given the ages of the kids, parents are allowed to opt their kids out of this school-wide assembly. They're also allowed to attend if they are uncomfortable with the idea of Erika Kirk being in the same vicinity as children. My question is: why is this even a thing? Why is this even a thing — to just force her upon young students? Has she served in any role other than emotional asset for the Department of Defense? Before we were told she was serving as this loving wife who had no aspirations in her career, that she just wanted to be a loving wife to Charlie Kirk. She used to wear every hat, I guess — she was a reality TV casting director. How do we get here? What's the rationale beyond the inevitable photo that's going to come out of a school-wide gymnasium where they're going to pretend that everyone signed up for Club America? It's just bursting at the seams.
You're going to be like, "Look at the whole school — PreK through 12 is so excited. Everyone loves Erika." Because this is just the longest-running psychological operation on the American public, and we're just not biting. We just want it to end. But kind of don't now. I kind of don't want it to end. I'm in a weird spot. I feel funny. It's gotten so crazy and so cartoonishly evil that I'm like, let's just go all in. Everyone knows what's happening. They're pretending we don't know what's happening. The administration is falling apart. And it feels good in a way, because I said early on the devil overplayed his hand with the Charlie Kirk assassination. And now we are seeing that they don't know how to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Things were stable and normal when Charlie was alive, and now things are coming apart because you just can't commit that sort of evil in broad daylight and think you're going to get away with it. That's my two cents.
Listener Comments
Candace Owens: Top comments from last week's episode. Thursday, Laura Love writes, "I am 98% convinced that Katie Britt and Erika France were made in the same lab." I'm going to allow that science to fly. I think yes, but they came out a little different — like one ingredient was a little different — because Katie doesn't give me that "I don't want to watch her talk" thing. She seems a little more good-natured, so to speak. Like a Powerpuff Girls lab — Mojo Jojo, I don't know — something went different. Erika got the X ingredient, for those of you who know that reference. I would feel safer around Katie Britt.
The best thing, by the way — free career advice for Katie Britt: what you should absolutely do is ride the moment, ride the wave, and actually go on SNL and just be yourself. I think people would laugh and it would be over. That's my free PR advice to her.
Next person writes, "This is heartbreaking. It's interesting how Turning Point USA immediately offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to who defamed Charlie's statue, but there's never been a reward offered for evidence leading to who killed Charlie Kirk." Oh, no. That was open and closed. It was Tyler Robinson and he was forgiven 11 days on — which is after the clipping campaign began. They always just trust the authorities to deal with things. And I also just want to remind you: the gang bangers did the statue. It was the gang bangers. They were wearing a mask. We have delivered that information and I told you guys to drop it. I said no more comments about it. The case has been closed and you guys just don't listen to me.
Comments from today's episode. Joseph writes, "Hi Candace, your opening regarding the shady characters at TPUSA today reminds me of a funny old Dean Martin song with a twist ending that I'm sure you'll love — 'The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane.' The ending is a belly laugh. God bless you and your family." I will have to check that out. I've never heard of that.
Golf Mammy writes, "This is my first baby with you. What should I expect? When will you be back? Are we going to get health updates on you and the baby? I need to know what's going on. I'm kind of nervous." Yes, I'll give you updates. I will be around. Don't worry, I will pop in. That's kind of how maternity leave happens. There'll be some big story and I'll just jump onto the show and join Baron for an episode or two. I am certain. I am not going to be far away. Because the news cycle just can't keep me away. Also, I'm worried about Blake Neff, to be honest with you. I'm really worried about him and I just don't want him to go through withdrawals. He's going to have so much more free time without me.
Tiffany Hiyama writes, "First Corinthians 13:6 — 'Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.' What a perfect word of the day for our girl Candace. Remember y'all, evil is tricky, but it is not smart, so they will keep slipping. Jesus is king." King. That is correct. I totally agree with you. And honestly, this time it just seems cartoonish. Cartoonishly evil. And you can just sense everything is coming apart at the seams. People are coming apart and they just didn't pull it off, I guess, is what I would say. Who is "they"? I don't know. It's an eternal question. Who is the "they" that did not successfully pull this off? We'll have to find out.
Fat 89 writes, "Can someone tell me what the muted voice in your intro says? It's driving me insane. Much love, Fatima." It says, "I hope he's bright and big and strong." And that is from a Yé song. I can't think of a title — I have this weird disability where I can never think of titles. It's so bizarre. Thank you, Skyler. It's "Stars" by Yé. You would think I would know that, but I just can never remember the name of a title. It's really weird.
Char writes, "This whole Tyler Robinson situation reminds me of the movie Homecoming. Good morning, Candace. Appreciate your work and your bravery." I have never seen that movie Homecoming. I am actually not a movie buff. There are so few movies that I have seen, but I will have to check that out as well.
Sam writes, "Are they still talking about me? — Don Trump." Donald Trump. Why would he be saying that? He probably is having an absolute meltdown. You should watch the full Tim Dylan episode where he kind of goes into that and how Trump is probably feeling at this time. There's a lot of suggestions that he's also going to get rid of some people in his cabinet because he can't stand that people don't like him anymore. They're going to have to kind of gently break that to him given the midterms. He's been in the cave. He's been living out Plato's allegory. And now they're going to have this moment of, "It looks like nobody likes you anymore," and he's probably pretty enraged about that.
Audra writes — I love the name Audra, it's a beautiful name — "I'm still concerned for bleached Brigitte. I think Baron should be investigated, maybe." Very true. Very true. Thank you, Audra. It would be a good starting point. He may not have liked his picture with her and he's now getting even. Possibly. I didn't even think about that. You are so right.
And I do want to remind you guys that our Baron merch is on the website. We now have the substitute teacher crew neck. We have the mug. It says "I will not believe the fed slop" written on the board while he is substituting. Make him a hot dog. I don't know who approved this, but it is going to run while I am away before we pull these off. So you should definitely get the substitute teacher kit. Get the mug for sure. Definitely get that sweatshirt. We've got some fantastic colors. Also, we do have a latte mug — I think the picture kind of uploaded weird onto the website, but we do have a latte mug and it is for pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you probably need the mug.
And by the way, you should probably buy everything because it's the only way to deal with your sadness over what took place with Brigitte over the weekend, which we can't show you any evidence of right now. And asking for evidence would make you a conspiracy theorist. I don't want you to be a conspiracy theorist.
Okay, we might have to show you the mug later. But we have some new kit that is up there which we hope that you guys will enjoy. And like I said, don't think too much about Brigitte Doll. We did file a police report and that's the most important thing. But the person was wearing a mask and they were definitely a gang banger. So we will see you guys tomorrow.
