On today's afternoon episode, we break down the escalating civil war between Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk's inner circle — including Erika Kirk — as Turning Point USA tries to control the narrative around the war in Iran.
Candace isn't backing down, accusing the movement of hijacking the conversation and betraying its own "America First" base — while Erika Kirk faces mounting pressure and appears to dodge the very questions everyone is asking.
Is this about foreign policy… or something much deeper?
We unpack:
- The growing MAGA media meltdown over Iran
- Why Candace Owens is going scorched earth
- Erika Kirk's viral moment — and what she didn't say
- How Turning Point USA is steering the narrative
- And whether this fracture signals a full-blown collapse inside the movement
It's messy, it's personal, and it's getting harder to ignore.
Buckle up.
