Candace Owens Goes Rogue (Premium E316)
In the three months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kirk’s former friend and colleague Candace Owens has spun several wild conspiracy theories about that event. Owens rejects the mainstream narrative of a single killer who had no accomplices, instead insinuating that Kirk’s death was part of an international conspiracy involving Israel, Egypt, and possibly France. She has further implied that Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, is helping cover up the supposed truth behind the fatal gunshot, to the outrage of much of the right wing media ecosystem. This pushback has not harmed Owen's popularity, nor has it caused her to improve her faulty investigative methods (which mostly consists of uncritically repeating the wildest stories and rumors that come across her inbox.)
Travis, Jake, and Julian break down the unfolding scandal that has inspired a parade of conservative influencers to denounce Owens and her comments with language like "dehumanizing, "gross," and "evil scumbag."

Dear everybody, stop creating the lore that Charlie Kirk was killed right in front of Erika. She was not there. It is sad what happened. She was not there. Tell the right story.
Who gives a shit
“This harmonica is *perfectly* tuned.” *hideous metallic shriek*
Probably need to put this one out on the main feed sirs...
I was feeling the exasperated "I don't know" so hard.
Julian, I love Tom Waits but Nadja from What We Do In The Shadows wins with "Be strong sweet little one. Some day they will all be dead and you will do a shit on all of their graves."
Could've sworn that was actually Tracy Flick in the autoqueued end content
Tim Poole cosplaying as JPEGmafia
"why haven't we seen [...]" is just the most melted version of Plato's cave imaginable. I hate it here
She’s a polyp off of Alex Jones. Scary 😨
Owens is doing the same thing as last time you covered her. She is repeating stuff you find on telegram and message boards as her own to make her audience feel heard. She has no political or moral motivations just riding this $$ wave as far as it will take her.
Pigeons coming home to roost, not chickens… also wouldn’t it be the “Russists” that did the Russian revolution?
Jakey… you did perfect
C R E D U L I T Y G O B R R R R
these types of pranks are a time honored Ameri•••an tradition… “Reflipe W. Fnuz”
the ultimate true conspiracy theory is that the ruling classes of western imperial powers have worked for over a century to shuffle all the Jews that they’ve hated since we started existing in their little fiefdoms into one “little Jewish ulster”[ read, theocratic colonial ethnostate ] that now serves as their laboratory of un–democracy, so that when the butcher’s bill comes due, they can do what Hitler did to try to get away with it… it really is scapegoating all the way down
yes, the Ameri•••an, British, French, American, and to a lesser extent (depending on the decade) Soviet empires all quite literally forced into existence a state of economic-politics that’s shaped like what the (extremely fake and created by Tsarist Russian secret police literally TO CIRCULATE AND USE TO JUSTIFY POGROMS) Protocols says all Jews are always doing forever this was done both as an experiment in a new modernization of colonialism and as a way to eliminate the Jewish left as a meaningful political bloc… GUESS WHAT THE MAIN STATED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE HOLOCAUST WAS, “the Judeo–Bolshevik menace” THE NAZIS WON IN A ROUND ABOUT WAY

Weed > whitened teeth
they won’t win, they hate themselves and eachother too much not to blow their projects up over personal beefs eventually
and whaddya know, literally a half–minute after posting this, the goddamn Tim Poole clip… I need a « Putīnist political operative tears » mug him screaming C••• on the pod is… certainly one of the choices of all time
Julian’s correct, it’s not news at all, it’s « infotainment » to borrow a stupid fucking made up word from the automotive industry…
also correct about the fundamental societal issue that the word « degenerate » becoming such a commonplace epithet belies… we quite literally live under the 5th Reich
this is the ultimate girlfight between Candace and Erika
hello, I am here to inform you that I have abandoned my previous stated positions and now believe a different thing wholeheartedly because it will be more profitable
Perverts season 2 ? Is that what Julian said ?
I'm just glad Charlie Kirk hasn't said anything racist for 90 days
Quakers catching strays in this one and idk if that's deserved. I'm not Christian but from what I've seen they're pretty radical nowadays at least. I used to work in sex offender rehabilitation and the local Quaker meeting house was the only place in town that would let us use a room. They'd also always have stuff up about action to host refugees etc. (this was pre Ukraine war so we're talking non-white refugees at that). If people want to join a religious group you could definitely do worse.
yeah quakers rock generally
The specific type of brain damage from listening to QAA is real and I have it.
Candace market corrected Alex Jones. She’s going the David Icke route of blaming Israel for everything and starting shit with her so called political allies.
Honestly, just let her cook.
Yay, more Perverts!
36:00 prank calling with false evidence gets celebrated but nobody mentions the Blues Broghers where they sent the Nazis to wrigley field?
36:06 Made me think about how Kerry Thornely did this with the concept of the illuminati and its basicaly why we know about them in pop culture today. Massively backfired
Her mispronunciation of "Sabbatai Zevi" tells you everything you need to know. She has no idea what she is talking about. She is simply repeating nonsense that she heard/read from other ignoramuses. Her "facts" are completely off, and she failed to note that not only was he a failed messiah (much like someone else she is quite fond of), but he was also mentally ill and married both a horse and a torah scroll. He is not taken seriously by any credible Jewish source.
Many of them also believe in "prophecy," rather than accepting that they are dealing with their own desires and thoughts, rather than the musings of "The Holy Spirit/Ghost." There is no way to deal rationally with the irrational.
Candace believes it all, and we need to realize that this is their reality. They can make money and be true believers, it's not a case of one or the other. Their belief in New Testament antisemitism and "Spiritual Warfare" cannot be stressed enough.
He could have referred to Erika Kirk as a Christian Nationalist, but he chose "zionist," BIG fun as a Jewish listener.

If you go to her subreddit there's absolutely a feedback loop with here and her fans. They take her serve and hit back with even barrier shit that I'm sure she then adds to her worldview
was definitely minister of defense Rudy Gobert that tipped her off on the french assassination plot
She’s Alex Jones
Yes! I was just thinking about this the other day... she seems to have stolen his mojo... We need a proper crossover with Knowledge Fight to examine this further!
Tim Poole sounds like he’s a danger to others.
he’s certainly acted like one…
Because Candice and the focus of this episode is primarily on conservative women, this is the first episode focused on conservative culture I can remember that is not transparently rooted in some taboo or homoerotic repressed sexual fantasy … still a good episode, I’m just saying any coverage of conservative media not dripping in the subtext of men hiding their desires to fuck each-other is unfamiliar territory.
Quakers catching strays
I subscribed to the Patreon just so I can listen to this episode
Welcome to the party ! 🫶
“We don’t know what goes on behind closed doors!” -Jake Rockatansky, moments after channeling what did in fact occur behind closed doors.
‘Hank Hill butt.’ Julian wins.
Poor jake sounds so defeated
Again Julian adds nothing
❓❓❓
Just fast forward past Fuentes talking
Interesting pronunciation of "Netanyahu."
Did Julian just kind of casually admit he did heroin?
Sometimes a boy just wants to do some skag, ok?
Whiskey. Whiskey is good.
100% Candace and Charlie hooked up. Who knows, they may have really had something together but Charlie would never risk his grift by openly being with a non-bleached blond white girl.
wouldn’t be terribly surprising given how prominent right wing men generally navigate their lives…
Funniest shit since the Summer War
Is Fuentes suggesting that Owens puts people in a double bind? 😏
Need to quickly say Quakers are VERY peaceful and left wing, but I get what Jake's saying. Puritan is maybe what he meant.
Heck, in the 1650s, Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony were banishing and executing Quakers.
Candace is clearly trying to become the most successful "lolcow" in history and succeeding
Is it finally night of the long knives?
Love it when Julian gets to be catty enough to get Jake into the mud with him. Intra-right infighting is my fave celeb gossip
Hey, my great grandparents came from Ukraine. They were good people, and not devil worshipping Francoists or whatever
my super MAGA cousin believes all this shit and now I finally know where it’s coming from
Warfare came across as pretty anti-war, I thought
But the French Legion isn’t under the command of the French government…..,
The whole “everything is a reality show” thing really hits when you know Erika Kirk was on a reality show(barely but she was on it) immediately before getting with Charlie
Oh wow, what kind?
There's a podcast that digs into Candace and her theories and her show. Kinda like what KF does for Jones. Gishgallop Girl. Dad and son, they aren't pros or anything but fact check the stuff she says. They are often like 2 hours long.
oh HELLS yeah
So funny hearing the right complain about candace owens using their own tactics with no recognition of the irony. Great episode 🥳
YOU CANT PROFIT OFF HATE, MISERY, and DISINFORMATION! WEVE CORNERED THAT MARKET!! Fucking hateful cunt. That’s what you get when you attach yourself to these cockroaches. What comes around, goes around.
35:12 jake is basically describing what Ballsack Sports on twitter did to ESPN
Some real Barry McCockiner level of getting your dumb ass tricked. Knowing her origin, she’s definitely a grifter at heart but she’s for sure a fucking idiot.
Holy shit that fucking harmonica
I think y’all should unlock this episode for the general audience. It’s so good and also really important analysis
I hope Jake's nightmare harmonica is a recurring bit.
An excellent episode for Julian gooning
Moist 👉
Omg an American used a hard C?? Why does it sound worse than my glaswegian daily use lol
That's what Tim Pool has been keeping under his hat all this time.
Jake I’m sorry but I have to ask you to keep chief Keef name out of your mouth if you’re gonna say that’s what Kyle rittenhouse would listen to
I think Jake confused Quakers with Amish
I love how at this point I can just tell when a video clip is clearly recorded in the front seat of a car
There’s an old story that the French president gets to request one killing a term, no questions asked, as long as it’s not a French citizen… maybe Macron is enough a wife guy to give it a try!
I hate to be a shooter for the quakers but coming from 12 years at a quaker school............................ the trad lifestyle they crave is NOT Quaker
far from it, lmfao
I met a new friend that told me about Candice shaking things up. Now I can get the lore! This episode earned you $5. Thanks!
I never thought I’d hear Candace Owen’s mention my favourite seventeenth century false messiah, but here we are
That's so 2025.
I have to admit it is fun to watch the right convulse over Candace but I am not optimistic much will come of it while we watch an even crueler version of the state take shape.
Jake's harmonica has upset my normally chill cat 😹😹😹 (He has previous trauma from an accordian...)
accordion trauma?
Conservatives “waking up” to the fact that baseless conspiracies can hurt people is very understandable if you understand one of the basic tenets of conservatism: nothing matters until it hurts them. And even then, when it doesn’t affect them, they go back to not caring. Like they lack object permanence.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
on the now defunct podcast Oh No Ross and Carrie, one of the hosts attempted to feed famous ufologist Linda Moulton-Howe fake conspiracy info at a convention to see how rigorous her vetting was. surprisingly, she showed at least SOME skepticism and did not believe the anonymous “leaks” outright. so what i’m saying is Candace Owens has less journalistic integrity than daytime Emmy winning ufologist Linda Moulton Howe
I miss ONRAC a lot
The more radical conservatives in my life can’t let go of any of these figures, so they lean on a kind of dialectical interpretation I guess, rationalizing each contradiction to keep their worldview internally consistent. The idea of breaking up the team is unthinkable. Every position has to be defended, no matter how strained the logic becomes. The only exception they’ve managed to agree on is Marjorie Taylor Greene—she’s the lone one they’ll admit is bad.
Charlie can't be buried until Elon and Neuralink give back his head. Elon is running a bunch of experiments on Charlie's big ass head. Mostly sexual in nature.
I laughed so hard that I started crying when Jake described Erika finding Charlie texting Candace Nicki Minaj lyrics after midnight
Dirt in the ground. We’re all gonna be. Bone Machine.
Jake, for the love of the gods, look up Quakerism. It's not Puritanism.
As a secular revolutionary I promise I would respectfully wait for Kirk's children to complete their prayers before exhuming his corpse and desecrating it in ways too profane to commit to written words.
Jake somehow perfectly hitting the exact pitch and volume of a Weather Emergency Alert sound on that harmonica.
Just occured to me that Candace Owens is just Tracy Flick from election
Tracy was smarter, and crazier.
I like how Jake and Julian are basically doing a “black don’t crack” bit without realizing it. Good job, boys.
Julian hating on Dick Van Dyke is awesome.
Please do video like the podsave bros and clip everything into a million little Julian rants, Jake’s takes, and Travis’ eye rolls.
I'd like to thank all the secular revolutionaries for their service 🫡
This was awesome... I just made popcorn and was sitting down to enjoy another installment of Death By Lightning when I saw an alert for this QAA episode. No joke, I almost choked on popcorn laughing as I listened to this instead... great job guys. Now... where's my token? (lol) PS/FYI: My network of deep state sources are telling me Jake is correct: unbeknownst to her, Candace is being funded and fed info by multiple state actors in an attempt to undermine the far right in America and abroad. 😉
Julian reeeeaaaaly leaning into saying a very specific f word the last few episodes. Hope you’re well, bud.
“Fellas, it is homophobic for a queer man to say a slur that applies to himself”
Qaddafi would’ve loved Candace.
Obviously it's pronounced "oh-el-ee-dee," it's a bloody acronym
Candace is a performer, I appreciate Jake being sadly one of too few to be able to clock that from the left lately. Perhaps a more useful comparison to understand is Alex Jones: she may well be aiming for the next generation spot of his. But also remember he would find any dumb way to turn any new thing into a conspiracy, and even when he's sued into the bitter earth all he did was double and triple down on shit we all knew he didn't believe in...cos ultimately the audience capture is just way more valuable to them than the depressingly vanishing risk they'll experience actual legal consequences they won't be able to escape. Her husband is literally a British aristocrat far right media mogul too, as well as being best buddies with the Tate bros BEFORE THEY WAS FAMOUS - she ain't sincere, she's just mildly better at the performance side of things than her peers. Yes the bar has been that low for ages, waiting for a half arsed prodigy to step over the non-arsed complacent old gits...and when I hear Americans say Tucker fucking psycho-screech-laugh Carlson is one of the more capable propagandists they worry about trying for presidency, well it gets harder to decide who DONT need constant welfare checks in the land of the free from national mental healthcare lol
Shes a Rogue? How many sneak attack dice is she adding? Got a subclass?
I pictured the white streak/kills her BF kind
Tom Waits did say we're all going to be just dirt in the ground.
The worse the news gets the more I look forward to your pod.
Candace Owens has the same energy as the oldest daughter on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air if that character had CTE and was missing a chromosome.
🤣
Candace is doing her part to keep conspiracies fun and ridiculous. Big respect. She a real one.
Oh boy. I've been hoping for this!
Always excited to see what she's up to!
Always afraid to hear what she’s up to personally
