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.
