The morning's most startling investigative revelation begins with Danny Philip — Charlie Kirk's fresh-out-of-college assistant who graduated from Ohio State just months before the September 10 events. Owens notes that Mikey McCoy's call logs show Philip received calls both immediately before and for ten minutes after Kirk was shot, a strange detail for a 21-year-old new hire [1] — Candace Owens "Danny Philip's grandfather Thomas Patrick was executive vice chairman of Merrill Lynch for 25 years and a major Turning Point USA donor. Hi…" 20:40 . Digging into Philip's background, Owens discovers that his grandfather is Thomas Patrick, the former executive vice chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch who worked there for 25 years before being ousted in 2003 for allegedly orchestrating a political smear campaign against Eliot Spitzer. Thomas Patrick was also a major Turning Point USA donor — and in 2019, personally emailed Owens claiming Charlie Kirk was lying to her about money, a move she now believes was designed to drive a wedge between them. The web deepens: Philip's father Steven Philip and Tyler Boyer's father were both senior executives at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Chicago simultaneously, and both had Russian studies backgrounds. Owens also connects Erica Kirk's cousin Dennis Franzpey to the same Bank of America Merrill Lynch Chicago network. She closes the segment by noting that Bank of America settled with Jeffrey Epstein victims in March 2025 for approximately $79 million after allegedly moving $170 million to Epstein through its management of associate Leon Black's wealth.

Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
