TRUMAN SHOW: Proof That Charlie Kirk Was Targeted By The Elites | Ep 356

Candace Owens claims maroon-beret Special Forces soldiers were planted in Charlie Kirk's audience and that Erika Kirk managed underage "model apartments" for a modeling agency co-founded by Jeffrey Epstein's partner Jean-Luc Brunel.

TL;DR

Candace Owens makes her case that Charlie Kirk's assassination was a state-organized military operation, presenting evidence she says ties "maroon beret" Special Forces soldiers to the audience that day. She connects Erika Kirk to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network through Jean-Luc Brunel's founding of Next Model Management, the same agency now named in a class-action lawsuit over underage "model apartments". Owens also highlights contradictions between Frank Turek's and Brian Harpole's accounts of CPR, and previews a forthcoming "witness tree" episode. The central takeaway: follow the Romania thread.

Candace Owens investigates maroon-shirted men in Charlie Kirk's audience, connects Erika Kirk to Jeffrey Epstein's network through Next Model Management co-founder Jean-Luc Brunel, highlights contradictions between Frank Turek and Brian Harpole's CPR accounts, and previews pending FOIA requests — all before a two-week summer break.

Chapter list
  • Candace Owens opens the episode by noting this is the final show before a two-week summer break, apologizing that she is broadcasting while battling a sinus infection and asthma. She immediately recaps her earlier observation about an unusual number of solo young men wearing maroon shirts in the audience at the Charlie Kirk event, noting that neocon critics mocked her for it — which, she says, is always a sign she's onto something. She teases that she has now confirmed what she suspected and that 'no one will ever convince me that the deep state did not organize Charlie Kirk's assassination.' She reads the Nimi Skincare sponsor before diving into evidence.

  • Owens presents her systematic case that the maroon shirt wearers at the Charlie Kirk event were not coincidental. She shows screenshot after screenshot of solo young men in maroon, noting they had athletic builds consistent with military service, were not part of friend groups, and that UVU's school colors are green and white — eliminating school spirit as an explanation. She highlights one piece of footage she calls particularly damning: a man caught on video holding a loose maroon shirt in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. She asks whether people simply carry spare maroon shirts on college campuses, and answers herself: no. She also points to a man identified as David Sprague — who went viral for allegedly cheering after Kirk was shot — as a key figure who looked 'remarkably shady' and arrived with a friend under umbrellas during the event.

  • Owens builds a profile of Erika Kirk as a strategically placed intelligence asset: a CIA-connected mother in tech, a real estate license obtained under the Rothschild-connected Corcoran Group despite only two public listings, and an Air Force advisory board seat she is not qualified for. Owens speculates the Air Force board position may give Erika access to military flights and movement without detection. She also accuses Erika of making personal calls to cancel events featuring Owens, using the term 'woke right' — which she says is Zionist terminology. She pivots to Graham Allen, whose official title was Senior Consultant to the Department of War before Kirk's death, and who she claims now works full-time in Arizona to run disinformation about the assassination. She also identifies 'Paramount Not So Tactical,' a former Green Beret she claims is being paid to push the official narrative.

  • Owens plays a new clip of Frank Turek on a podcast claiming he conducted CPR on Charlie Kirk and was approximately one foot away from him in the car. She immediately juxtaposes this with Brian Harpole's repeated statements that CPR was never performed because they were focused on the wound. She argues the discrepancy is impossible to explain away — you do not forget whether CPR was done, and Charlie Kirk at 6'3" physically could not have been made flat enough in a cramped SUV for CPR to be performed. She accuses Turek of lying, notes his military background, and says the entire contradiction 'gives psychological operations.' She suspects both men are lying but says Harpole's version is at least internally consistent.

  • Owens walks through her investigative queue heading into the two-week break. Her active FOIAs include: an NSA request for the email referring to Erika as an 'emotional asset,' White House WAVES entries for Erika Kirk through DHS, Secret Service, and EOP, Kash Patel's schedule for the three days leading up to September 10th, Bradley Hansel's travel schedule (currently deprioritized to queue position 3,534), FBI plane flight logs for a craft that landed in what she believes was Utah or Nebraska, and Secret Service records on Andrew Colbett's EEOB meeting the day before the Epstein files dropped. She also teases a forthcoming 'witness tree' episode that will map every person who spoke to media about the Kirk shooting and trace their connections.

  • Owens works through viewer comments. One ER nurse of 20 years writes in to call Brian Harpole's account 'patently ridiculous' on medical grounds. Owens wonders whether hospital records from Timpanogos Hospital could be accessed via state-level requests, and whether Tyler Robinson's defense team has requested the FBI tapes from the ER. She considers whether Harpole's mention of defibrillators was a pre-emptive explanation for bruising on Kirk's chest that may appear in the autopsy. A viewer compares the case to JFK, which Owens rejects, arguing Operation Mockingbird worked in 1963 because there was no social media — today the cover-up is failing in real time. She then states clearly that she believes Tyler Robinson did not kill Charlie Kirk and names Lance Twigs as her suspect, claiming Twigs was the person walking in the maroon shirt video and had access to Robinson's belongings through their shared living situation.

Maroon beret
A military qualification beret worn by US Army airborne parachutists; earning it is a prerequisite for joining the Green Berets (Special Forces) in units like the 19th Special Forces Group.
19th Special Forces Group
One of two Army National Guard Special Forces units, headquartered at Camp Williams, Utah; known as Green Berets, they specialize in unconventional warfare and train part-time while maintaining civilian careers.
Task Force 82
A designation for the 82nd Airborne Division when deployed as a rapid-reaction force; capable of deploying anywhere in the world within 18 hours of notice.
FOIA
Freedom of Information Act — a US law allowing citizens to request records from federal government agencies; Owens uses it to seek NSA, FBI, and Secret Service documents related to her investigation.
WAVES entry
White House Access and Visitor Entry System; the electronic log that records who enters the White House, including dates and times, used by Owens to track Erika Kirk's potential visits.
MC2 France
A Paris-based modeling agency founded by Jean-Luc Brunel in 2005 with seed money from Jeffrey Epstein; it recruited models primarily from Eastern Europe and was central to Epstein's trafficking network.
Next Model Management
A New York City modeling agency co-founded by Jean-Luc Brunel and his brother Arnaud; Owens alleges Erika Kirk was connected to it through model apartments and it is currently named in a class action lawsuit.
Model apartments
Agency-controlled housing provided to underage foreign models while awaiting work visas; Owens and a class action lawsuit allege these were used to trap models financially by deducting housing costs from their pay.
Operation Mockingbird
An alleged CIA program that began in the 1950s–60s to recruit journalists and media figures to spread propaganda; Owens invokes it to explain why JFK conspiracy theories were successfully suppressed.
Unconventional warfare
Military operations conducted by special forces to support resistance movements, insurgencies, or covert actions, often in civilian environments without uniform; the specialty of the 19th Special Forces Group.
EEOB
Eisenhower Executive Office Building — the large office building adjacent to the White House that houses offices for the Vice President, NSC, and other senior executive branch staff.
Psychological operations (psyop)
Military or intelligence activities designed to influence the beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors of target audiences; Owens uses the term to describe what she believes certain witnesses and media figures are engaged in.
Phytonutrients
Naturally occurring chemical compounds in plants responsible for their color, smell, and flavor; used by Candace in a Balance of Nature sponsor read to describe the nutritional value of the supplement.
Feckless
Lacking initiative or strength of character; ineffective and irresponsible. Owens uses it disparagingly to describe those who continue to defend Erika Kirk despite the evidence she presents.
Occult
Relating to supernatural or mystical practices and beliefs; Owens claims elements of the Kirk assassination were 'occult' in nature, referencing ritualistic or symbolic dimensions she has covered previously.
Tallow
Rendered fat from cattle or sheep, historically used in soap and candles, now repopularized as a base for natural skincare products; featured in Nimi Skincare's products promoted by Owens.

Maroon Beret Soldiers in the Audience

Candace Owens argues that the unusual number of young, solo men wearing maroon shirts at the Charlie Kirk event was not coincidence — it was military personnel organized by color. The clincher: a man caught on video holding a maroon shirt moments after the shooting, and the revelation that David Sprague is actually James Rawlinson, a maroon beret–qualified Special Forces soldier stationed just 20 minutes away.

Coincidence? Owens doesn't think so.

Jeffrey Epstein & Erika Kirk's Next Model Management connection

Owens builds a profile of Erika Kirk as a strategically placed intelligence asset: a CIA-connected mother in tech, a real estate license obtained under the Rothschild-connected Corcoran Group despite only two public listings, and an Air Force advisory board seat she is not qualified for. Owens speculates the Air Force board position may give Erika access to military flights and movement without detection. She also accuses Erika of making personal calls to cancel events featuring Owens, using the term 'woke right' — which she says is Zionist terminology.

Owens rejects the JFK comparison, pointing out that Operation Mockingbird launched in the 1960s precisely to suppress exactly this kind of truth-telling. The difference today: social media makes it impossible to isolate people and label them conspiracy theorists. The cover-up is failing in real time because too many people are awake simultaneously.
