Trump's Blocked Butler Investigation and the Deal with Adelson
At 1:50:09 · chapter starts 1:26:40
Owens links two events: Trump blocking the Butler investigation (confirmed, she says, by Dan Bongino to Tucker Carlson and by Don Trump Jr.'s public statement of dissatisfaction) and Trump's $300 million deal with Miriam Adelson that allegedly came with explicit demands for West Bank annexation. She argues Trump 2.0 is fundamentally different from Trump 1.0 because he made a deal with the devil to win at any cost. She says Kash Patel's Vegas roots, Adelson's known priorities, and Salem Communications' recent FARA filing all connect to the same network. She is clear: Trump is not running this administration.
Netanyahu Called Kirk. Kirk Said No.
Weeks before Charlie Kirk died, Bibi Netanyahu called during a dinner at Bill Ackman's home in the Hamptons. According to Andrew Colbett — and later confirmed to Owens by someone in his orbit — Netanyahu offered to take Turning Point USA 'to the next level.' Kirk refused. Colbett allegedly lost millions when Kirk said no. Kirk also refused to have Netanyahu on his show. Owens says this is the answer to how people couldn't see the Israel motive.
From Second Assistant to VP in 4 Years — While Paying Off $100K in Loans
After Sallie Mae refused to fund her final year of college, Candace moved to New York with $100,000 in student debt and started nannying. She landed a job at a private equity firm on her second interview and climbed from second assistant to VP of administration in four years. Along the way, the firm sent her to Costa Rica for 8 weeks to learn Spanish — because she asked them to — and she traveled the world on their dime, including ending up with Snoop Dogg in Croatia.
$300M from Miriam Adelson to Trump
Owens alleges Trump accepted $300 million from Miriam Adelson with a condition that the US would support annexing the West Bank.
Trump Blocked the Butler Investigation — And He Knows Why
Owens says Trump personally blocked the investigation into his own assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania. She cites Tucker Carlson's account of a conversation with Dan Bongino where Bongino confirmed Trump blocked it. Don Trump Jr. publicly said he is not satisfied with the investigation but would leave it there — an implicit acknowledgment of the directive. Owens: you can't make that make sense.
The Gamergate Rabbit Hole That Made Her a Conservative
Candace launched a Kickstarter called Social Autopsy to help kids avoid internet trouble. A woman named Zoe Quinn called to threaten her, and after hanging up, Candace was flooded with online attacks. The only media that reported her account fairly was Breitbart — an outlet she had dismissed as white supremacist. Shaken by how mainstream media lied about her, she began listening to Trump's speeches unfiltered and eventually discovered Thomas Sowell, completing her political transformation.
