00:00I just want to start with Erica Kirk and Candace Owens.
00:03So they sat down and spoke for over four hours yesterday.
00:08What did you make of the meeting and the timing of this get together just a day before the Turning Point USA conference?
00:18Well, the timing, I think, is what really speaks to me as a former member, as a student member of Turning Point and somebody who went to Charlie's vigil there.
00:27The one absence from my time in the organization tangentially and also at the funeral memorial was Candace Owens.
00:35Obviously, she has gone down her own wavelength here, and this is not something that I'm endorsing, but rather just observing.
00:43And it's interesting to see Erica Kirk's timing in bringing Candace somewhat back into the fold of Turning Point, at least in a allowable way.
00:52I think for most people who aren't heavily invested in the story, they are curious why Erica Kirk wasn't responding to all these kind of very, let's say, avant-garde things Candace Owens was saying.
01:07So I think this meeting has sort of given Candace Owens some legitimacy to continue going on.
01:13But it also could be a way to build bridges because I think also everybody's forgetting here that that is a friend of hers who was murdered.
01:19And so, you know, Erica Kirk lost her husband. Candace Owens lost her friend.
01:23People who are grieving do bizarre things.
01:25The fact that they sat down for four and a half hours, that's quite a lot of time.
01:29What the result of that will be, what that will mean for Turning Point USA and Candace Owens going forward, I can't speak on that.
01:35But as a cultural observation, it certainly gives some legitimacy to Candace Owens that was not there prior.
01:41I can't speak on that.
