The Jimmy Dore Show

Candace Owens has accused Turning Point USA leadership of covering up the truth about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, alleging obscuring the fact that Kirk had explicitly rejected pro-Israel donor pressure just 48 hours before his death. She claims he told TPUSA executives, Jewish donors, and a rabbi that he was abandoning the Israel project and planned to bring her back on stage with him.  Owens challenged TPUSA to publicly deny her statements, suggesting their silence proves they are protecting financial interests tied to pro-Israel donors. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger emphasize that TPUSA’s refusal to address these allegations directly points to a deeper corruption and donor-driven influence within the organization. Plus segments on the letter Charlie Kirk wrote just before his death to Netanyahu demanding Israel do its own propaganda, why Israeli control over TikTok is worse than China’s and the plans underway for an attack on Venezuela.
