Candace Owens Goes Rogue (Premium E316) Sample

In the three months since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Kirk’s former friend and colleague Candace Owens has spun several wild conspiracy theories about that event. Owens rejects the mainstream narrative of a single killer who had no accomplices, instead insinuating that Kirk’s death was part of an international conspiracy involving Israel, Egypt, and possibly France. She has further implied that Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, is helping cover up the supposed truth behind the fatal gunshot, to the outrage of much of the right wing media ecosystem. Travis, Jake, and Julian break down the unfolding scandal that has inspired a parade of conservative influencers to denounce Owens, why this has not harmed Owens’ popularity, and Owens’ faulty investigative methods (which mostly consists of uncritically repeating the wildest stories and rumors that come across her inbox.)

The year is 1983. Your evil stepmother is hosting a party to celebrate the arrival of an interstellar comet. The two of you get into a fistfight and you spend the night in the yard shed. In the morning, everyone you care about has been turned to red dust. This is the inciting incident of “Night of the Comet,” a deep pocket Travis pull for our annual melted holiday movie night. There are ghoulish motorcycle cops, deep underground research labs, and loud diegetic music playing in nearly every scene. Jake and Travis make the case to Julian that this movie is good.

A self-proclaimed whistleblower’s post has gone viral on the r/UFOS subreddit. They claim, through their work as a government contractor, that they have become privy to an intergalactic wager made by aliens betting on our survival in a future war we fight against bugs. Tight! But that’s just a side note to what she claims is the real alien coverup: that a communist version of our planet exists on a nearby star system – and that the US government is doing everything in its power to make sure we don’t discover that they are doing a LOT better than we are.

Nuzzi. Lizza. Maga. Disney. Chemtrails. Folks, the world is getting weirder and weirder as human brains begin to wilt and grow mold. Perhaps we didn’t water them enough. Perhaps some of us watered with Diet Coke, Monster Energy, and Electrolytes instead of classic H20, which would explain why some of us are so much more powerful than others. For this week’s episode, Travis, Jake, and Liv form a meeting of the minds. We talk about some of the latest and ongoing news stories from pilled America that each host has been drawn to like a hummingbird to that sweet sweet sugar water. It’s a grab bag, so reach in and pull out your favorite host, pull the cord on their back, and retreat in horror (or hopefully laugh) as they spit out their latest rabbit hole.

The 1956 book When Prophecy Fails describes one of the most famous case studies in social psychology. The researchers Leon Festinger, Henry Riecken, and Stanley Schachter covertly joined a small, apocalyptic UFO group, observing how members prepared, including quitting jobs, giving away possessions, and severing ties with skeptics. According to the book, when the group’s predicted disaster did not occur, instead of simply abandoning their beliefs, many core members strengthened their commitment and actively sought new converts. But it didn’t actually happen like that. In truth, Festinger and his fellow researchers glossed over evidence that contradicted their thesis and actively influenced the UFO group to get the result they wanted. This is the discovery of our guest Thomas Kelly. By combing through newly unsealed materials from Festinger’s archives, UFO and occult magazines of the 1950s, later writings by group leader Dorothy Martin, he discovered crucial information that was omitted by the original book. Kelly detailed his startling findings in a paper published in the Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences titled Debunking “When Prophecy Fails.” Travis interviews Kelly to discuss the real story behind When Prophecy Fails, the possible consequences of invalidating Festinger’s study, and how his work fits in the wider “replication crisis” in experimental psychology.

Travis, Jake, and Liv sift through the gems in the latest dump of Epstein documents released by the House Oversight Committee. The records show interactions with individuals across politics, academia, finance and media, including Noam Chomsky, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and author Michael Wolff. We cover Epstein’s comments about Trump, Michael Wolff’s creepy work with Epstein, Bannon’s request to visit “the island” the day that Epstein was arrested in New Jersey, and the notorious email in which Epstein’s brother references a “photo of Trump blowing Bubba.” Plus: how the QAnon and conspiracist communities are spinning the new revelations.

Jake emerges from the underground city of Speranza to see whether gamers are cooperating online again.

In many sad cases, promoting QAnon ends with broken relationships and derailed careers. But occasionally, QAnon promoters end up in Congress or as Director of the FBI. This week Jake, Travis, and Liv check in with our QAnon friends in government. We chat about Rep. Margarie Taylor Greene’s split with Trump and accusations that FBI Director Kash Patel is living large (while impressing his 24-year-old country singer girlfriend) on the taxpayer’s dime. We also discuss The Blaze’s bumbling attempt to identify the January 6th Pipebomber through “gait analysis” and Trump’s new involvement in the case of former Colorado County Clerk Tina Peters, who is serving a 9 year prison sentence for election interference. We don’t cover the newly released emails about Epstein, not because any of us have been tourists to Little Saint James, but because the document tranche was inconveniently released shortly after we recorded this episode. We will however cover that, along with the spin conspiracy world, next week.
