    One real and quick question. If you were unalived on a public stage, and cops/FBI/any law enforcement quickly found “the sh00t3r” and no more questions asked. Nothing else to see here. Move along. We’ll see you at trial…would you want a friend like Candace to get to the real root of the crime or someone like, I don’t know…almost everyone else, who just blindly follows along and believes them? Oh, and forgives so quickly? I know for me, I want a Candace and I’m grateful to have one or two of them. Also, I would be this friend to get to the truth

    Seeing you’ve called your podcast hysteria you might be interested in joining Candace’s Book Club and learning about The Assault on Truth and Sigmund Freud and the Jewish Mystical Tradition and the condition of ‘hysteria’ women were diagnosed with back then as the cover up for their heinous acts against them and children. You need a history lesson or two.

    How boring and disappointing this take is. You don’t know Candace’s objective? You feel bad for Erika? You’re like the rest of them saying it’s nuts and crazy and antisemitic, and not actually commenting on any of the investigative details presented, or the actual history of the world, just another hasty generalisation. It’s not ‘interesting’ she’s turned on Trump, or any of them, it is called evolution, that of ideas and beliefs based on the integrity of the networks of people around you. Love to see you both debate her, it would be hilarious. As for Brigette you’re ill informed once again, no evidence has been provided.

    Left’s unending bashing the one that fights the good fight is truly a psychotic issue. What now being called satanic by Ben is a discreditor? Cheap content bhos

    Candace always throws out a lot of “I’m just asking” to smear people she doesn’t like. No one owes her answers or explanations and if they ignore her, she spins it as an admission of guilt. It wouldn’t matter so much if it wasn’t for her thousands of fans spreading the lies on her behalf.

    You all have to go watch Bride of Candace, it is amazing! He goes deep into George Farmer and Candace Owens and the fella that introduced them! They are not what they seem at all!

    Oh! I get it! If you present your spiel in a condescending, sarcastic, dismissive tone, then you must be right! You are clichés of yourselves! Candace Owens has been through the trenches and suffered the slings and arrows from the entitled gatekeepers of information! She makes the two of you look like junior reporters! I am sure you are going to find some way to justify why you are getting so very ratioed in the comment section for your mutual admiration smug fest! You are the journalistic equivalent of Valley Girls with pretentions of being high brow!

    Owens seems to pick the wrong side of every argument and issue. I find Kirk and her late husband to be completely objectionable, but somehow Owens is worse. I can't even get to schadenfreude.

    Yeah ok 5 mins and I’m out. All these political podcasts REALLY need to reach over and open a window sometime. The initial commentary about feeling sorry for Kirk’s widow is just more proof that analysts on these political podcasts are more interested in the soap opera drama of our political system rather than actually coming up with a solution. What a circle jerk.

    Candance went after Erika after Erika gave that evil eye to "STOP". Ironic that Erika has criticize those who questions her husband's death as if she is hiding something.

    Wait a minute…. she "feels BAD for erika kirk"??? I think this is the FIRST "hysteria podcast" that i have no desire to finish, whatsoever…. This woman(whoever tf she is) is clearly beyond fckng clueless and has actually inspired quite a bit of disgust in me at the moment, which is NOT what i was expecting going into this….. GROSS….
