Hodgetwins Podcast, yes. Before we get started, I want to give our condolences to you. I know you and Charlie were really close.
So I can't imagine what this has been like for you, because when we saw what happened, it was very traumatic for us. And that was we only met him a couple of times. Yeah, I probably spoke maybe a hundred words to Charlie, but it felt like I lost a family member that day.
**Candace Owens** (0:25)
Yeah, I think a lot of people felt that, which was really interesting. The impact of his assassination, I think, was not like anything we've ever seen.
I actually met you guys through Charlie. You remember that?
**Kevin Hodge** (0:37)
Right. We went together. Yes, I remember that. Yeah.
**Candace Owens** (0:39)
Well, Charlie and I were doing something, and we had you guys speaking.
**Kevin Hodge** (0:43)
Exactly. We were backstage. Yeah. Yeah, in Washington, DC. Yes, yes.
Man, wow.
**Candace Owens** (0:48)
So yeah, it's been a time.
**Kevin Hodge** (0:51)
Where were you when that tragedy happened at the time?
**Candace Owens** (0:55)
Well, I was here. I was upstairs prepping for my podcast show. We were just going to do a regular episode, and Savannah came downstairs and said, you know, Charlie's been shot.
Yeah, it was just so crazy. And I couldn't even comprehend what she was saying.
**Kevin Hodge** (1:13)
Right, yeah.
**Candace Owens** (1:14)
Obviously, we just immediately canceled the show and sent everybody home.
**Kevin Hodge** (1:17)
Exactly. We did the exact same thing. So from the moment I found out he had been shot, we went to try to find out if he's OK. And then when I saw the video, I just couldn't function for like three days.
Just went home.
**Candace Owens** (1:31)
Yeah. The majority of the world, except for Turning Point USA, I think felt that way, which is remarkable. I think everybody shut things down, didn't do things the next day, the day after. And I just there was something almost spiritual about what happened. And I had the amount of emails that I've received to the exact same effect of how impacted people were. And some people who had never even heard of him, people that have never been to the United States, they just something about that video and the way that he died.
And we've obviously seen a lot of violence and a lot of crimes over the years, but that was something different.
**Kevin Hodge** (2:08)
Right. Now, I want to get to talk to you about your show. Like it's been a lot of people attacking you on your work about Charlie Sasson. It seems like they really misunderstand what your show is about. It's like from my perspective is you're making, you're not making any declarations about who killed him or what happened. It's like you're putting out things that you're following like leads, and then you're putting it out to the public to share with everybody what's going on and what information you have.
Am I right about that?
**Candace Owens** (2:38)
Yeah, it has been very strange to see the immediate reaction that people had. Some people, I would not say the majority opinion, obviously, but the people in media were certainly offended at the prospect of people investigating what happened on that day, which to me signals that there was a foregone conclusion, and that foregone conclusion was Tyler Robinson did it, and he acted alone, and you could just see that there was a lot of money that was backing this idea that to even investigate anything regarding what happened on September 10th was a sin greater than what happened on September 10th. It was unbelievable.
**Kevin Hodge** (3:24)
Right, and it looks like a lot of these attacks are coming from the right, which is shocking to me. Yeah, it's like they've been trying to, lately, they've been trying to label you as a grifter and just trying to discredit you as a grifter.
**Candace Owens** (3:38)
Yeah, to be honest, it has not been the right, but it has been the Zionists on the right.
**Kevin Hodge** (3:46)
Oh, okay, yeah, that's a huge distinction.
**Candace Owens** (3:48)
Which is a huge distinction, yeah, because I think the right has been infiltrated by the Never Trumpers, and sure, they call themselves the right, but they're not, they're just the pro-Israel. They have to be on the left to support Israel, then they're on the left, you know, they were happy to try to assist Hillary Clinton in winning, back in 2016, because they were so virulently anti-Trump, but now they love Trump, and even though they want to dissent, they love Trump, and so we're just dealing with neocons, and there's nothing actually conservative about them.
