Show Notes
This week, prosecutors in Provo, Utah began laying out the case against Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating Charlie Kirk — forensic evidence, surveillance footage, a confession note, and sworn testimony from the lead investigator. As the preliminary hearing opened, Candace Owens dismissed the proceeding as a "show trial," telling her audience the "real trial" would come later and casting herself as a lone truth-teller fighting demons on Charlie's behalf.
Jeremy Boreing breaks down why what Candace is doing is not just wrong but deliberately misleading–and evil. A preliminary hearing isn't a trial — it's a narrow legal procedure to determine whether a case is strong enough to proceed. Candace knows the difference. The question is why she's betting her audience doesn't.
The show walks through months of specific claims Candace has made — that Tyler Robinson was never on campus, that Charlie's microphone exploded rather than a shot being fired, that Erika Kirk, Charlie's own security team, Israel, or the federal government were somehow complicit — and measures each one against what has actually been entered into evidence: surveillance footage placing Robinson on campus four times the day of the shooting, a medical examiner's report confirming a single gunshot wound from a bolt-action rifle, DNA evidence on the recovered weapon, and a confession note and text messages already part of the court record.
Joining Jeremy for this conversation:
Mark Meckler — co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, President of Convention of States Action, and CEO of JTN Networks (parent company of Just the News, Human Events, and The Post Millennial). Meckler brings two decades of experience watching grassroots conservative movements built, captured, and weaponized.
Gary Melton (Paramount Tactical) — a former U.S. Army Special Forces Weapons Sergeant and Sniper Team Leader with four combat deployments, who has spent nine months systematically fact-checking Candace Owens' specific claims against the assassination evidence, one by one.
Will Chamberlain — a Georgetown Law-trained attorney, former publisher of Human Events, Senior Counsel at the Article III Project, and VP for External Affairs at the Edmund Burke Foundation, who explains the legal distinction between a preliminary hearing and a trial — and the real defamation exposure Candace now faces.
The panel also addresses new research from the Network Contagion Research Institute suggesting a measurable link between Candace's public claims naming Erika Kirk as a suspect and subsequent spikes in death threats against her — and what it means when a media figure builds what researchers describe as a "permission structure" for targeted harassment.
This is a conversation about what happens when institutional truth-finding — slow, procedural, occasionally unglamorous — collides with an information ecosystem that rewards speed, certainty, and grievance over verification. It's about the difference between naming demons and becoming one. And it's about what accountability, both legal and moral, actually looks like for the people left in the wake of a tragedy that some have chosen to monetize.

Is Gen Z cooked? Jeremy Boreing doesn't think so, and his three Gen Z guests are a big reason why. On the third anniversary of October 7th, Jeremy sits down with Nevaeh Souza, Jacob Falach, and Josh Carr for a candid conversation about why so many young Americans feel the American dream has slipped out of reach, and what it will take to get it back.
Dallas Jenkins, creator and director of The Chosen, sits down with Jeremy Boreing one week after stepping off the set for the final time — 528 days of production over eight years. The two friends first met in Los Angeles more than a decade ago, before The Chosen or The Daily Wire existed. Now they talk about failure, surrender, ambition, and what it really costs to make art for an audience of millions.
The most advanced, most comfortable civilization in human history is choosing not to have children. The U.S. fertility rate is near 1.6, well under the 2.1 needed to replace a population. South Korea hit 0.72, the lowest ever recorded. Why is this happening, and can it be reversed?
