What led to the confrontation between Candace Owens and Erika Kirk?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We have got so much to get to today. Nick Reiner is soon expected to be formally charged with the murder of his parents, legendary movie director Rob Reiner and his photographer mother, Michelle Reiner. A killer, meantime, is still on the loose after a gunman killed two and wounded nine at Brown University. That situation is going from bad to worse. I mean, I don't know what you're going to do out there with this mayor. Good luck to you, Providence. What a buffoon. We'll get to the latest on how he and now the attorney general are contradicting each other. They're not inspiring any confidence whatsoever that this shooter will be caught anytime soon.
And we are definitely going to get into this Vanity Fair profile. Look at this. Here are my notes on it. It's a very thick document.
What shocking details emerged about the Rob Reiner murder case?
It's a very long two-part article written by Vanity Fair with the cooperation of and with several interviews over the course of a year of President Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, and the entire cabinet. here's a little preview. It didn't go well at all, which is no surprise if you're going to sit down with Vanity Fair. Everyone's asking, why would she do this? Why would you sit with Vanity Fair? It's the reporter. I guess the reporter has done all these profiles on chiefs of staff over the years. Okay, that shouldn't do it because Vanity Fair hates conservatives, right? So you kind of should know what you're going to get. I think Susie Wells is a very smart, very savvy woman, but... You know, it's not a surprise that Vanity Fair did an incredibly unfair piece on Susie Wiles that does not make her or anyone in the cabinet look good.
And she's already trying to like tamp down some of the admissions. It's not good. We're going to talk about it in just a second because Ruthless is back. The guys from the program are here. Love the fellas. They're coming on in just a couple of minutes. But I just want to start quickly with this. I've been telling you as this, I don't know if you want to call it a feud or what, between Candace Owens and Erica Kirk has been heating up that I would have something to say on it in the coming days, and I do. It's been going on now for a while where Candace... I had that exchange with Ben Shapiro out on the tour where he said she'd accused Erica of orchestrating Charlie's murder. And I was taken aback. I had not heard that.
And then in the interim, between that day and the next, I had my staff go research exactly what she had said. And then somebody just happened to ask me a question about it. Truly, it was not, that was totally organic. That was not a plant by me at all. But somebody asked me about it the very next night. And I actually told them, because I'd been planning on saying something on the show since Ben had made the accusation. And if it was not true, I did not want to be having something that heavy hanging out there. Um, someone asked about it and I said, that's actually not true. And at that time it was not true. Candace had not accused Erica of orchestrating Charlie's murder. Um, and I've gotten a lot of grief for saying that, but I was correct.
We're, we are relentlessly factual here in this program. And she had not done that at the time. As I pointed out at the time, she had impugned turning point and I realized Erica is CEO, but she wasn't until after Charlie died. Um,
How does the Vanity Fair profile portray Susie Wiles?
Um, so, you know, saying the guys at Turning Point had done something prior to Charlie's death is not the same as saying Erica Kirk. Okay. I'm sorry. It may seem to you like a distinction without a difference, but we really do care about facts being precise here on the program. We don't always get it right, but that's a big one to get wrong. Well, since then, Candace has been more focused on Erica Kirk. And I think that's because Erica Kirk went on a media tour and started clearly speaking out about Candace. And so, you know, it turned into a rather explosive situation last week where Erica went on with Harris Faulkner on Fox News and said very clearly she wants these, quote, conspiracy theories to stop, especially about Turning Point USA, which she called her Turning Point family.
