🚨ERIKA PROMISED HOURS OF CHARLIE FOOTAGE… THEN IT VANISHED

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]TPUSA is doubling down on claiming that the video of Charlie Kirk appointing Erica as his successor exists. We're just never going to see it because they want to respect the privacy of their donors. This made people suspicious and it sent me, once again, on an online dig through Erica's old interviews and I found some signs that might suggest them using AI to create new videos or audios of Charlie. I want to be very clear. I am not saying they definitely did it.

[00:00:27]I'm saying that discussions they had right after Charlie was unalived might heavily suggest they did. As you guys probably know already, Candace discovered that TPUSA's senior production director Marcus Wada allegedly met with a Hollywood company specializing in voice cloning, deepfakes, and AI-generated videos, specifically VFX Los Angeles, and insinuated that it might have had something to do with Charlie's audio where he appoints Erica to be the next CEO of TPUSA.

[00:00:54]And that made us think of that specific conversation when Erica appeared on Charlie Kirk's show. Take a listen. We need to be able to have people have a show where they can they can ask questions. Hey, I'm up against this.

[00:01:08]What would Charlie say? And we play a clip of what Charlie said a month ago, a year ago. We have decades worth of my husband's voice. We have unused material from speeches that he's had that no one has heard yet. We have Sunday specials lined up to the brim because my husband was so intentional about making sure that there was enough content. Always.

[00:01:32]>> He And he he made sure we recorded everything. Everything.

[00:01:36]>> do a speech unless we could get the video and the 100%. So, we have speeches that no one's heard of. We have interviews that no one's heard of. We have stuff from Korea and Japan that no one's heard of.

[00:01:48]>> Podcasts.

[00:01:49]>> So, I mean, in the words of my husband, buckle up because there is a lot of content to be had and we have so many amazing things down the pipeline that we are working on currently that will unveil and do tons.

[00:02:03]>> I am so excited.

[00:02:05]>> Yeah. This was recorded just a month after Charlie's passing. His widow is excited. But where is all this unaired footage? Where are all those speeches of Charlie we were supposed to be blessed with? Isn't it weird that every time they speak about him, it's as if he was getting ready for 10th of September? She says he recorded hours and hours of footage pre-recorded Sunday specials lined up because her husband was so intentional about always having enough content. Where is all that? Where are all these speeches? We could use some of them right about now. Of course, even if there were hours of footage like that, would we trust TPUSA not to manipulate it? Not to conveniently cut and edit to fit a certain agenda? But the real question today is not where is the footage and why didn't you air it, but rather were you going to fake that footage?

[00:02:56]Were you going to create an AI version of Charlie to deliver a message that suits you? Similarly, with that audio of him appointing Erica as CEO, allegedly.

[00:03:05]This is a very valid question given everything that happened recently. How TPUSA did not release a video of Charlie saying it, but rather decided to do a private screening of the video for Daily Mail journalists, who then wrote an article and said, "Trust us, the video is real. Charlie wanted Erica to be the CEO." Great, super legit, super convincing. We can now move on and never go back to it again, right?

[00:03:30]Wrong. Here is another video for you.

[00:03:32]Mikey McCormick speaking to Megan Kelly about having hours and hours of content.

[00:03:37]Do you have somebody going through hours and hours of Charlie tape and like refreshing it for us? Like how are we getting all this new content? What feels like new? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Charlie would bank hours of content. He did 4 hours a day, and then on top of that he was doing five speeches a week. He was?

[00:03:52]>> He We were traveling like we were supposed to be in Colorado State today.

[00:03:55]We were supposed to be in Nashville tomorrow. He would just bank these these speeches and content. We didn't even post all of them. We have so many speeches that haven't even been posted yet.

[00:04:03]>> to? It would groups on Friday he was supposed to be speaking at a church event. Today he was supposed to be speaking to students at Colorado State and >> Wow.

[00:04:12]>> When we were in Asia he was speaking to a random group of Japanese people and the America Fest equivalent in Korea.

[00:04:18]But to to their point security-wise, I don't think it matters what the security was. Nothing was going to stop Charlie from giving his message where it needed to be.

[00:04:29]And he died too soon. He but he was always ready to die. Everything he did he poured into it 100%.

[00:04:37]He was always dedicated to his work, dedicated to his message. He knew that truth was the truth. He'd always say north is north no matter what. It's there's objective truths that need to be shared to the world and he was ready to share those. Charlie was ready to go guys. I'm telling you they always speak about him as if he was getting ready to leave this world. I forgot that Mike him said it so frankly back then. Charlie was ready. He was recording all those speeches, all this content and thanks to this he was ready to leave this world.

[00:05:05]He's two babies.

[00:05:07]I ask again.

[00:05:08]Where are all those speeches now? 8 months after his passing. He was recording 4 hours of content a day, five speeches per week.

[00:05:17]Where is it? The speeches apparently so powerful that made him be content with being unalived early and not see his kids grow up.

[00:05:26]He was ready. And this whole message about wanting to continue Charlie's legacy and using his old footage to direct the vision or the mission of TPUSA as they like to call it would make sense if they didn't remove the older footage of Charlie Kirk Show or his older college debates from major platforms. After receiving some major backlash they made an announcement last month that the episodes are back on. But people started noticing that old debates or some old interviews were disappearing as well. Was this the strategy to get rid of the real archives of Charlie and replace it with AI-generated ones?

[00:06:02]Anyway, this is of course alleged. But after all those interviews talking about how they have hours of footage and content of Charlie, Erica does the sit-down interview with Megyn Kelly and she says this. And I know I keep playing this clip on my channel and I will keep playing it. It's incredible.

[00:06:21]In August, before all this happened, he had a event where he had some donors at. And one of the first questions they asked was God forbid if something happens to you, like what what what would happen next to Turning Point? And Charlie made a really interesting point. He said, "Companies, you know, example, Apple, Macintosh, he said, 'They're founder-led.'

[00:06:54]He said, 'But what I've built is will one day, if I'm not around, be vision-led.'

[00:07:01]And he had made mention at the end like, 'You know, Erica will do a great job running it.'

[00:07:07]It felt so fake to me then and it feels even faker now. I've said it before, Erica always found a way to let us know how highly Charlie thought of her.

[00:07:17]It had to be hammered into our brains.

[00:07:20]Charlie thought Erica was amazing and she could run this organization. What we've heard What we've heard him say was that she was the best wife and the best mom. He often did say she was amazing and he loved her. He has not once said she would do great as a CEO. She would be even better than me here at TPUSA. He had many opportunities to say it. He did not.

[00:07:42]But Erica and Blake Neff claim he said it to his donors, you know, at the Aspen meeting where again it looked like they were getting ready for his departure to heaven. And after all those months of Erica and others telling us, oh, we have all this footage to know what Charlie would think and what Charlie would do.

[00:08:02]We get this leaked video of Erica claiming even though there are videos of Charlie clearly voicing his opinions on certain matters, she doesn't care.

[00:08:10]She goes into victim mode and chooses to ignore what her husband said.

[00:08:14]Yeah, I know the answer to your question. My husband isn't here to say whether or not we should be at war with Iran.

[00:08:21]I would love for him to be here right now and to tell us if we should or should not.

[00:08:26]I would love it. I miss his voice more than anyone in this world.

[00:08:30]And you know, it's frustrating when you have people speaking for him.

[00:08:36]I can say I have the same sentiment for that.

[00:08:39]But thank the good Lord that we have a bunch of his videos that we can look back on.

[00:08:43]And it's like chapters like this, I have to commend you.

[00:08:47]This is amazing.

[00:08:48]All of you guys sitting here together having debate, discourse, dialogue, that's what Turning Point USA is about and that's what I wanted to continue. So when you ask, what's our stance on the war? What's our stance on that? I actually would prefer that we have these types of discussions where our stances on freedom of speech and I want you guys to all continue to discuss like a stroke victim.

[00:09:10]No.

[00:09:11]I have no idea what my husband would say. I wish [laughter] he was here. I miss his Thank God we have all these videos to look back and see what he would say. We did not because that would be inconvenient to us cuz he was saying something that we cannot say right now.

[00:09:27]It There is an interview with Andrew Colberg where he specifically denied doing any weird AI stuff related to Charlie. Here it is. I worked with Charlie just about every day for eight years and I feel like I have a Charlie GPT or something in the back of my head.

[00:09:41]I mean, for truly I I hear >> as you don't do the weird AI thing.

[00:09:46]>> going to do the weird AI thing. We've been pitched on that multiple times. I'm just like, guys, no. No, not at not not at all. Such a missed opportunity. I'm still so angry. Why didn't he say Charles GPT? Like it wouldn't it be better?

[00:09:59]Like Charlie GPT Charles GPT. So he admits it. They had pitches coming with ideas of AI stuff. Maybe one of them was that meeting Marcus had.

[00:10:09]Who knows? We never get details, just vague statements and tweets. Anyway, after Daily Mail claimed that they've seen the footage of Charlie appointing Erica as the next CEO in case something happened to him, Blake Neff jumped to X to share his thoughts. Let's read it together. Current situation, a Daily Mail reporter was A Daily Mail reporter was writing up the controversy over who Charlie wanted to succeed him. His wife, who knew him best, whom he trusted most, and whom the TPUSA board eagerly supported, or some other person. Hint, Candace obviously thinks it should have been herself.

[00:10:46]No, she doesn't.

[00:10:48]Of course, no video is actually needed to prove Charlie wanted Erica to succeed him if something happened. Everyone who knew Charlie well and spent time around him knew this was the case, and there was zero suspense going into the board vote. So here I am going to explain why this video is such a big deal, and what happened that we would even ask for a video.

[00:11:10]Because at the beginning, when Erica was appointed as CEO, nobody questioned it.

[00:11:14]You know, board voted board voted.

[00:11:17]Charlie, we just heard stories that he wanted Erica to to be his successor. Everyone accepted it. Not everyone liked it, obviously, but everyone accepted it.

[00:11:28]But then there was Amfest, and Erica walked out after this audio playing of Charlie saying, "Yeah, I I appoint Erica. In case something happens to me, I appoint Erica for next CEO of TPUSA."

[00:11:41]So, then Candace was like, "There must be a video then."

[00:11:46]Because we know that this conversation happened in Aspen thanks to Erica. Erica told us it happened in Aspen. So, if they have audio, there must be a video. And then it was confirmed there is a video. So, we're like, "Okay, show us the video then."

[00:11:59]And here we are. Still, while Turning Point would still rather not release private videos in response to insane screaming from lunatics, they did show it to the Daily Mail reporter just to confirm that the video exists.

[00:12:14]>> [sighs] >> For good measure, the reporter also spoke to three separate donors to confirm that question and answer did happen.

[00:12:23]So, the Mail accordingly reported that the video is real. Oh, okay, I just noticed something. The wording here.

[00:12:29]Let's pay attention to the wording, yeah?

[00:12:32]For good measure, the reporter also spoke to three separate donors to confirm that the question and answer did happen.

[00:12:40]We know that the question happened. We have it confirmed by John um Mappin, and I'm going to read it as well, his tweet.

[00:12:47]So, the question happened and and answer did happen. What answer?

[00:12:53]What exact answer? He's not specifying.

[00:12:56]He could be talking about any answer.

[00:12:57]Candace is now screaming that the video must be made using AI, exactly as I said she would a month ago.

[00:13:04]Well, yeah.

[00:13:06]Obviously, in our times we have to question it, right? Candace has publicly accused the Mail of lying about contacting her, so he posted a screen grab of his email to her publicists, which was sent two whole days before the article came out.

[00:13:20]Cool. Someone commented on my last video about Daily Mail article, and I thought it summarized that TPUSA situation perfectly. Here it is. They are doing way too much and not enough simultaneously to try and prove he said that. How perfect is that? So true. They are going through all this trouble to set up a private screening of for Daily Mail journalists that Erica was confronting at the correspondent's dinner. They are tweeting at Candace.

[00:13:46]They clutch their pearls at the thought of someone not believing them.

[00:13:50]Yet all it would take is for them to release the video. The bit where Charlie actually says those words. That's it.

[00:13:57]They are doing too much yet not enough at the same time.

[00:14:01]But there were more comments under Blake's tweet. People are not buying any of it. The reason nobody believes this video exists is because it would have been played right after Erica posting the video of her hanging over Charlie's body.

[00:14:14]And then this one, the truth will set you free. You might be looking for a new job, but you'll feel a whole lot better by being honest. Just admit that Charlie never said that. This one, just post the video, bro.

[00:14:25]How is it a private video when you are using it as the entire basis for why Erica should be the head of one of the largest political organizations in America? Not only political organizations, guys. This is a organization that doesn't pay taxes.

[00:14:37]It's funded by you guys over there in America. You have a right to know.

[00:14:43]Here Blake Neff decided to answer someone, okay? So the comment says, "Y'all are doing too much of this dancing around with the public. We live in an age of AI, Blake. Wondering if something is AI is not revolutionary.

[00:14:57]Y'all are making yourselves look more and more like deceitful liars for not releasing it and letting the public judge for themselves." So Blake Neff with his response.

[00:15:07]"If we live in the age of AI, where people will all claim it's fake anyway, doesn't that just vindicate not relying on the video and instead relying on the fact that the board donors and those who knew Charlie well overwhelmingly state that this was what he said and would have wanted. No. What the hell? No.

[00:15:26]Release the video. You don't go to court, okay, and say you trust this group of people.

[00:15:34]They tell you it happened.

[00:15:36]Judge, they tell you it happened, therefore it's true.

[00:15:39]We have a video of it of it happening.

[00:15:43]We're not going to show it.

[00:15:45]You just need to trust the people telling you that it happened.

[00:15:49]Boom. But I saw something interesting.

[00:15:51]One of the TPUSA donors, John Mappin, who is one of few or maybe even the only donor who publicly demands answers regarding Charlie's unaliving and seems to be cheering Candace on.

[00:16:02]He replied to a reporter of the Daily Mail but was simultaneously addressing guys from TPUSA as well. Let me read it to you. Dear Charlie, so that's Charlie Spearing from Daily Mail.

[00:16:15]I hope you are well. I have spoken to a donor who was at the event in Aspen and they have no recollection of all of what you have reported. I spoke to them again today in light of your article and they reiterated this once more.

[00:16:27]They are quite certain. They also said that afterwards, following the main filmed Aspen meeting that you reported on, there was a smaller private meeting with Charlie where the subject was raised again and that there was no mention of the version that you present.

[00:16:41]I knew Charlie Kirk well and I know Candace well. This point of truth matters. It will affect Turning Point going forward and conservative politics more broadly. And then the post continues. It was a very long post. I'm not reading all of it.

[00:16:55]Uh here it goes. The logical and rational thing to do is simply to release the raw video footage publicly with any donors who do not wish to be seen blacked out and if truly necessary, their voices altered if they are keen to retain privacy. You have stated that the Turning Point cameras were rolling as have others. No one would be more pleased to see that what you are saying is true than Candace, ourselves, and all those who love Charlie and his family.

[00:17:20]It would give thousands of people great relief. No one wanted or wants to believe that untruths or half-truths could or would be told on such a subject, or that the deception that have been suggested may have occurred.

[00:17:34]Certainly not us. Several people who have been donors, including the individuals with whom I spoke this afternoon, whom we personally introduced to Charlie as TP donors, are now saying that because of this and other inconsistencies in what has been said, they will no longer participate in political donations across the conservative spectrum. They are that frustrated by it. These are usually calm, reasonable people, reasoned people. The email keeps going, but I think I read the most important part.

[00:18:01]Donors are frustrated. They claim they remember the question being asked, but there was no Erica in the answer to it.

[00:18:08]So, Charlie allegedly said that he has great people on the board who will figure it out, but he never mentioned Erica.

[00:18:15]Surprise, surprise. All we know is the truth, and the way Blake Neff, Erica, and the rest of them have been acting, especially around the topic of this video, seems more than shady. But, as usual, I want to know what you guys think. Is it possible that TPUSA fake that audio and now is trying to fake an AI video of Charlie just to avoid admitting a lie?
