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.
Danny Philip, Charlie Kirk's assistant who was on the jet that morning, had only graduated from Ohio State University in May 2025 — just months before Kirk's death.
Danny Philip graduated from Ohio State in May 2025 and was hired almost immediately as Charlie Kirk's personal assistant. He was on the private jet that morning, and Mikey McCoy's call logs show he was on the phone with Philip both before and after Kirk was shot.
Mikey McCoy was on the phone with Danny Philip just before Charlie Kirk was shot at 12:02, and again for ten minutes after the shooting — despite Philip being a 21-year-old newly hired assistant.
Thomas Patrick spent 25 years rising to executive vice chairman at Merrill Lynch before being ousted in 2003 for orchestrating a political smear campaign.

Danny Philip's grandfather Thomas Patrick was executive vice chairman of Merrill Lynch for 25 years and a major Turning Point USA donor. His father Steven Philip and Tyler Boyer's father were both senior executives at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in Chicago — at the same time, in the same department.
Thomas Patrick, a former executive vice chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch and major Turning Point USA donor, is the grandfather of Danny Philip — Charlie Kirk's assistant on September 10.
Thomas Patrick was unceremoniously removed from his position as executive vice chairman of Merrill Lynch in 2003 for allegedly orchestrating a political smear campaign against Eliot Spitzer.
