Discussion on Money and Altruism

I do wanna address this very quickly. I realize we are now way over time.

I don't know if we're gonna have time for book club, 'cause I didn't realize I had

so many words to say. But, um,

w- people were randomly, as soon as I said I would take it...

So first it's, "She's scared, she's scared, she's scared.

There's money on the table,"

and that's what I'm doing wrong, I'm being scared and not taking the money.

Then I take the money, exactly what he offers, 300K,

and I'm a bad guy because how

could I take the money? These people are insane. They're just insane.

There's no way to make them happy. They can't leave you alone

and let you just

investigate the case, 'cause you gotta, you gotta...

The money's on the table, and then they, they chastise you for taking the money.

And they were all instantly like, "Candace needs to establish a trust for

Erika Kirk." Like the people outside of Michael Knowles, the people that I

absolutely despise, all saying this in unison,

that I need to donate this money and

establish a trust for Charlie's children.

Um, and then people just randomly telling me

what I should do with the money.

Like, uh, for example, this person, "Multi-millionaire Candace

Owens should donate her victory money to Tyler Robinson's defense if

she really thinks that he's innocent.

Andrew Wilson put his money where his mouth is.

Why doesn't Candace?" Like, w-

I didn't offer Tyler Robinson publicly go across things and say I'm

gonna... To prove to people that I think he's innocent,

I'm gonna give 300...

I never did that. I, I don't do that, those sorts of things.

That's not what I do.

I'm not braggadocious, and nor would any person who knows the

least bit about finance be so stupid as to spend

$300,000,

uh, to have a conversation with someone who

debates for free, always.

Do my annual debates with Piers Morgan, they're for free.

Been debating all across college campus, I was doing that for free.

Um, I've had debates with Rabbi Shmuley, who I can't stand, on Piers Morgan

for free. And so it's just so interesting

that actually my entire

life, all these people ever do is message me kindly and

respectfully and ask for a debate. No one has to throw money around.

That's how it works. I've hosted debates. There's been no money involved.

This is unique because Turning Point USA just hates me this much, and

were obviously, uh, Blake Neff and Andrew Colvett

were retweeting him as he was going after me and offering more

and more

money. And now they think the solution to that

is for me to

open a trust for Charlie's children, which in a way I know it's not, but it

feels like money laundering. The organization that's hunting me,

you want me to

then give the money, uh, to, uh, the person who'd be in control of

that would, at

first of course, would be Erika. First and foremost, what I wanna say

is there is,

there are few things I despise more than fake altruism.

People who do charity as a part of a PR program and not because it's

necessary or needed, and Charlie Kirk's children have been

multi-millionaires while he was alive, um, and that

increased in his death. Many people opened trusts,

raised, uh, money. The last thing that Charlie Kirk's children

need are, is more money. What they need is a stable parent, and

unfortunately they... I can't give them that. Right?

I can't give them that.

Mom doesn't wanna be home. Uh, dad c- can't be home.

And the one thing they need is not a bunch of influencers using them

as a

talking point and s- suggesting that 300 more K could

plausibly make a difference. And like I said,

uh, there's something about it that just feels icky.

Like the very people who sent the person to hunt you are basically trying to create

a peer pressure campaign for you to give the money back. Like I just...

Uh, that's not gonna stand for me. And so instead, what I would like to

announce that I am doing with my money thus far, what I've decided,

other than the

fact that I did go to Waffle House this weekend, um, is I'm gonna take care of the

people who took care of me, um, as this

organization has fixated, sent influencers, uh,

is the, a part and parcel of these group chats

that are coming together to

protect Erika Kirk, of people who have ma- attempted to make our

children feel unsafe, that they have gotten behind, retweeted,

supported. Um, I'm gonna look out for those people.

People like my sister. Um, if you want an organization that's

gonna get money from me, it's going to be the Catholic Church,

the priests

that took care of me emotionally when I was coming apart with the

realization that,

uh, Charlie and everything that he had worked for, he was being,

he's, he's been

betrayed. He has. Charlie has been betrayed.

Everybody can see that.

You betray him every single day when you do this sort,

these sorts of things.

You betray who he was. Uh, uh, you, you betray,

uh, the friendships that he had. You lie

constantly about who he was, about the things that he was thinking.

Uh, I am not going to take any instruction

from Turning Point

USA, uh, or any of their affiliates or any of these

neo-con dogs that they send out on what I should do with the money.

It's just not gonna happen. So yeah, I'm gonna take care of my

sisters. I'm gonna give money to the Catholic

Church, and then I'm gonna decide

what I wanna do. That's it. You were the ones who offered the money.

You were the ones who retweeted it, and so it's therefore mine.

You can skip all of your fake altruism.

Why don't you guys give more money to that organization?
