Candace Owens investigates Erika Kirk's background in the first episode of Bride of Charlie
Candace Owens launches a multi-episode investigative series examining the background of Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk and new CEO of Turning Point USA.
Summary
Candace Owens opens the first episode of her investigative series Bride of Charlie by addressing the pushback she received after releasing just a two-minute trailer — including what she describes as an aggressive PR campaign that included posting photos of her manager's infant daughter, her makeup artist, and family members, along with voicemails left for her producer. She argues that Erika Kirk, as CEO and chairman of a charitable organization that brought in over a quarter billion dollars last year, is a public figure subject to legitimate scrutiny, and that efforts to silence the investigation by invoking her status as a grieving widow parallel the emotional manipulation tactics used during COVID. Owens then presents her findings on Erika's family background, arguing that the narrative of Erika being raised by a strong, independent single mother is contradicted by evidence that her father Kent was actively present throughout her childhood — including a period as a stay-at-home dad — and that a stepfather, Larry Ginta, was also present from Erika's elementary school years. The episode further examines irregularities in Kent and Lori's divorce filings, including four conflicting marriage dates across two documents and an apparent hand-edited court decree, as well as questions about Erika's paternity raised by her use of the Swedish word morfar (mother's father) to describe her paternal grandfather, her unusual closeness to the Rothstein family, and her description of Zion's Gate in Jerusalem as "my family's dedication." Owens also traces Erika's maternal family's history in illegal gambling and her paternal grandfather's role in printing Illinois state lottery tickets, and concludes the episode with the discovery that Erika attended an elite charter school in Paradise Valley, Arizona — a Tesseract school housed inside a building formerly occupied by a Jewish school called Gan Yaladim's Looking Glass School.
Key Takeaways
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Introduction: The Case for Investigating Erika Kirk
Candace Owens: There is a very strange thing happening right now where a young woman with absolutely zero professional qualifications has been inserted at the top of a charity organization that pulled in over a quarter billion dollars last year, and the media is telling you that you have no right to know or to ask anything about her. The argument being made is that her husband was murdered, and therefore she has a right to assume the position. Despite the fact that Turning Point USA is a literal charity and therefore doesn't even have to pay tax on that quarter billion-plus dollars — or pay tax on the alleged future billions it's due to rake in thanks to a deal with a man named Pierre — these talking heads are claiming that the public simply wanting to ensure the person running that organization is, at a bare minimum, moderately honest about who she says she is... no, that inquiry makes you a monster.
So your job, apparently, is to head to work nine to five, receive a flurry of unsolicited emails and text messages reminding you that Charlie Kirk, the innocent man that you watched be executed in broad daylight live — you're to be reminded that that was her Charlie. "My Charlie needs your help. Here's how you can give us your 401k and house." The emails have been landing in your inbox at an alarming rate. There is virtually nothing that the feds are telling us about his murder that makes any objective sense. But if you're feeling weird about any of that, you're constantly reminded that she is a grieving widow. She's a grieving widow.
That sentence, in my opinion, is this year's "trust the science." The mainstream media — Zionist-implied — are effectively telling you to roll up your sleeves and get the vaccine again. Remember when they did the six-feet social distancing thing? They cast that spell. Let your granddad die alone in the hospital. If you desired to see your grandma this Thanksgiving, it's because you're a demon from the gates of hell. Resist your human instincts. Obey the government. It's the same kind of messaging, the same kind of emotional manipulation, but it's a new year. Still have questions or concerns about who Erika Kirk is and why she seems to have lied many times on record? Well, you're Satan. And also, you are destroying Charlie's legacy.
Now, it is very important that I remind you: we haven't even said anything yet. A two-minute trailer resulted in one of the most aggressive preemptive PR strikes that I have ever seen. They posted photos of my manager's infant daughter, my makeup artist, my family members — lots of voicemails for my producer. This was initially supposed to be just three episodes, and now I'm thinking about a season two and a season three. Because if you haven't quite figured me out yet, I don't like it when innocent people are targeted and attacked, and on rare occasions shot in the neck in broad daylight.
No one blinked when entire investigative series and books were written about Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, or Meghan Markle, because they're public figures. I've effectively endured ten years in politics with non-stop exposés and investigations into my background. But we're told Erika is somehow untouchable. Let me tell you something: the truth does not require a multi-million dollar PR campaign. It also does not fear inspection. So welcome to Bride of Charlie.
Opening Statement: Something Is Not Right
We have nothing to hide. Where should we begin in this story? I think maybe with just a blanket statement: something is not right with Erika Kirk.
Despite the most aggressive influence campaign — which at one point even included a signed letter from the Secretary of the Treasury assuring us that Turning Point USA is an above-board, amazing organization — and despite a flurry of dramatic videos about sheer evil, not mass-murdering children but sheer evil, i.e., investigating someone at the helm of a billion-dollar company — despite all that, the public remains unconvinced that she is simply a grieving widow. Because she isn't simply a grieving widow. She's also the CEO and chairman of an organization.
During our preparation for this series, an investigative journalist named Elizabeth Lane went viral on X because what she authored about Erika was objectively brilliant. It gave voice to what millions of people worldwide were feeling but didn't exactly know how to express. I'm going to read her words in their entirety because I think it's very important.
Elizabeth Lane's Analysis: A Profile of Erika Kirk
Elizabeth Lane wrote:
"I'm going to be blunt. I have reached the point where I find Erika Kirk to be deeply disturbing — not because of rumors or gossip, but because of consistent, observable patterns of behavior. To be clear, everything I say in this post is my opinion. I am not claiming this is fact. I am saying this is what I think Erika Kirk is.
I come from the world of acting and modeling. I have spent years around social climbers, opportunists, image curators, and people who treat relationships like ladders. That is why I left that world. Most of these people are shallow and harmless. A few are dangerous. Erika falls into the latter category — not because she is just ambitious, but because of how calculated and performative her ambition appears to be. I believe she may be a psychopath.
What stands out immediately is the reaction she provokes in other people, which is very common with psychopaths across the board — including people who support her publicly. The private reaction is the same: 'I can't watch her.' It's not a criticism. It's just a physical discomfort. People turn off interviews because the presentation feels artificial to the point of being unbearable.
That kind of response does not happen accidentally and does not happen often. Research in psychology shows that humans are highly sensitive to emotional incongruence — mismatches between facial expression, tone, and content. When the effect appears simulated rather than genuine, the brain registers it as a threat. This activates discomfort and avoidance, even if the person cannot consciously explain why. Studies on psychopathy, particularly those building on the work of psychologists like Robert Hare, describe traits such as rehearsed emotional display and shallow affect. These traits can create what observers experience as an uncanny interpersonal dynamic. The discomfort arises and people want to shut it off because most people rarely encounter extreme affective mimicry in everyday life, so the brain struggles to categorize what it is detecting.
Erika is attractive enough, and she had every tool in her possession to sell this organically — except for one thing: emotion. The entire story of what happened could have helped her sell this fully. She really would have been the last person on Earth to be a suspect, if not for the FBI's terrible mistakes, Turning Point USA's lies, and her very fake performance.
Plenty of attractive, ambitious women move through media spaces without triggering that response, even though we know what they are. This is about something else — an extreme disconnect between the presentation she puts out and perceived authenticity.
Erika is not the archetype of a model or actress seeking money and fame and then settling into a quiet life with a wealthy, good-looking husband. She is the wolf type who wants to be in the place of that husband. She is not born for a supporting role. She's a decision maker. She appears to pursue proximity to power, moving fluidly between television, nonprofits, branding opportunities, and ideological spaces that maximize her exposure.
Her previous partners are guys that women like her would date — muscular, good-looking, even though they are not people with huge potential. They are somewhat established. They are good stepping stones until the right person shows up. Looking at her previous partners, I would say that Charlie probably was not her type visually, but he was exactly what she was looking for in a man — the potential to be a great power.
What Erika was looking for is the same thing Hillary Clinton was looking for when she met Bill. She recognized that Bill Clinton was her ticket to power — the power that she could control. And she was right. She realized that she could create a great brand out of him and herself, and they still are a brand, the Clintons. No one in this world can say that those two love each other. They are a brand that works. That's why she's sticking around despite Epstein and Lewinsky. Also, if you think Bill is the decision maker there, you must have never been in close proximity to the Clintons. She moves the game. She is the decision maker.
Erika saw a brand with Charlie. She also saw that Charlie could one day become president of the United States if he wanted to. Charlie had the ear of the most powerful segment of any society — students. He was going to be a very important player in politics, and she was not missing that ride.
What is striking is how completely her public identity reshapes itself after that relationship begins. The aesthetic, the tone, the values, the presentation — all change overnight. The persona shifts into the role that best suits Charlie's world: devoted Christian, modest, a supportive housewife. That kind of rapid adaptation is quite impressive for a usual person, but not for a psychopath — because they do it all the time.
In my head, the story goes like this. For a moment, it works. She becomes the wife of a rising political figure with access to donors, institutions, and national platforms. At that point, the ceiling isn't social media influence — it's empire building, foundations, global reach, a legacy, a brand: the Kirks. It's obvious that Charlie listens to her, whether it's about donors or the trajectory of Turning Point USA. The most influential figure in any mentally healthy man's life is going to be his wife. That is just how it is. That is why you need to pick your partner wisely.
And everything was going well until Charlie began making decisions based on conscience rather than expansion and money. He turns down money. He refuses to play dirty politics. I am assuming someone like Erika, who married into this because she had a vision for this brand, would not be very happy about that. The life she appears to have signed up for — power couple, expanding influence, historical relevance — was collapsing into something else entirely: domesticity, housewife, kids, and now Charlie refusing to accept the money that could make him a global power.
A supporting role instead of center stage is not her thing. Her husband died a few days ago and she walks onto the stage as if she was born there. It comes naturally to her. She knows it and she wants it. Just days after her husband's death, she was already laying out ambitious plans for the company over Zoom. It's obvious she was always deeply involved in the business and knew exactly where to pick up when her turn came.
What people struggle to watch — what makes the screen unbearable — is not grief. It's the absence of emotional continuity. Performances can be learned. Trust me, as a former actress, I can speak to that. But emotion cannot be improvised or mimicked if you've never experienced it. That's why I think we are dealing with a psychopath who has never really experienced these emotions and does not know how to play them — and audiences feel it instantly. It's fake. Again, this is just my opinion."
Owens's Personal Assessment of Erika Kirk
It's a good place to start — because there are a lot of things that Elizabeth said there that I think I'm going to be able to prove. The adapting of her personality to suit the people that she meets. The lies that she tells. I've done a lot of work here, speaking to ex-boyfriends, speaking to old classmates. I really wanted to get a sense of who Erika was. And in a word — yes, I concur. There is something about her. I don't know any single personality in media or politics that has had the same effect that Erika has had on people worldwide. She's a rare bird. She has actually managed to unify the left and the right on a single perspective. Think about how remarkable that is. Say what you will about Hillary Clinton — she had a true following on the left. It was a bloody match back in 2016.
Now, beyond Erika, what Elizabeth is diving into here is psychology — a social science that was created, to be very clear, by German mystical Jews who believed in mystical Judaism and were practicing the occult. If you are a regular viewer of this show, you know that I have obsessed over this history for the past two years. The books we read in book club are all about the very dark history of modern psychology and its direct relationship to child abuse and trauma-based mind control. The person who wrote The Assault on Truth wasn't just guessing. He was in control of the Sigmund Freud archives and lost his entire career trying to ring the alarm on what these scientists knew. He explains that they abused children with the goal of transforming them into future psychopaths that could be controlled.
That is the science that was brought to America via Operation Paperclip. What began as Project Monarch in Germany ultimately became MK Ultra in America — about the Manson murders, the 1960s, all of that was our government and CIA gone wild after the assassination of JFK, drugging and experimenting upon citizens with the explicit goal of controlling minds and social engineering. These are indisputable historical facts. This brought forth the dawn of serial killers in America — too many of them with curious ties to the military. MK Ultra was a military program. Truthfully, behind every unthinkable crime is a deranged psychologist and a prescription cabinet.
If you think MK Ultra ever stopped, I hope the Epstein files and the stunning defense of those files from our quote-unquote elites helped to shatter that illusion. We discussed MK Ultra during the Kamala Chronicles. Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, is suing me for merely mentioning MK Ultra on the Tim Dillon show. How bizarre. Why is the president of France — who himself is a victim of minor sexual abuse — so concerned about that conversation being opened up? Independent study into Sigmund Freud and what he and his colleagues were doing in Vienna is crucial for understanding what is going on in this world.
The Single Mother Narrative — and Its Problems
Pivoting back to Erika and her story — what alarms me about Erika isn't so much the fact that she lies, which we will prove to you over and over again, but also the fact that I don't know that she's aware that she's lying. It's almost as though she doesn't remember. Like the version she's telling us today was just recently downloaded into her mind and she therefore thinks it's true. Some of the lies are so stupid. She's just sort of going along.
I want you to know that we reached out ahead of this episode with just four questions pertaining to past statements she's made that do not appear to align with the reality of what we have discovered.
For example, here's just one example. We are told that Erika Frantzve was raised by a strong, independent, entrepreneurial single mother who taught her how to be a good Christian — a devout Catholic mother, Lori Frantzve. As an aside, this Catholic mom — and I'm not here to judge Catholics — but she's been married four times that I can see. We'll talk about that more down the line.
More importantly, you will recall that Erika sat down for an in-person interview with the New York Times days after Charlie was publicly assassinated, and she confirmed to them that the least traumatizing part about Charlie's assassination was the prospect of now having to raise her children alone. She wasn't traumatized by that idea because she had seen the example set by her mother growing up. As People magazine later echoed: "Erika Kirk has learned a lot from her mother, Lori Frantzve. After welcoming her daughter in November of 1988, Frantzve divorced Erika's father, Kent Frantzve, and raised her as a single mother in Scottsdale, Arizona. Lori spent nearly two decades working for General Electric before founding multiple companies in the network security industry, according to her LinkedIn."
So you can see they're seeding the public with the idea that you can raise kids, be a single mom, and also be a CEO. The only problem is that it's just not true. Erika was not raised by a single mother — not at all. Erika's father, Kent Frantzve — he goes by Kent, though his full name is Carl Kenneth Frantzve — was always in her life. So much so that for entire years of her childhood, Kent was actually a stay-at-home dad. Almost the exact opposite thing was true at one point. You don't have to take my word for it. You can take Erika's:
Erika Kirk: I do not want to knock the stay-at-home dads. There are some who temporarily have to switch that role. That happened to my parents a long time ago. Granted, they got a divorce, so that probably falls into your bucket. But my dad was a stay-at-home dad for a few years, and I got to say, it was really sweet and really special. I was four.
Candace Owens: Stay-at-home dad for a couple of years. She remembers it. She says she was four, and it went on for a couple of years. People don't typically remember being one or two. And now he wasn't in her life? To be clear, Erika was ten years old when her parents divorced in 1998. So her father was very much a part of her early childhood, and he did not stop being involved in her teenage years either. I've spoken with classmates and past boyfriends, and people are generally bewildered as to why Erika is not publicly representing as though she has a relationship with Kent, the man she claims is her father.
Something she also fails to mention is that even if you removed Kent, Erika was raised with her stepfather in the home — a man named Larry Ginta. In her high school yearbook, Kent is included in a collage, along with his parents, her grandparents Carl and Elaine. So we can reasonably assume her father was in her life. We can also assume from that photo that Erika was exceedingly close to her stepfather too, because he's featured there as well. Larry has been a fixture in her life since before her parents' divorce was ever finalized, because both he and his son are also in the collage. I confirmed with classmates that Larry and Lori were together since Erika's elementary school days.
In other words, Erika grew up in a situation now termed as having a "bonus dad." Both her biological father and her stepfather figure were present and all living in and around the Scottsdale area. So why this little public misrepresentation? I would be super offended if I were a stay-at-home dad and then suddenly someone is saying, "I was all alone. My mom did it all by herself."
A Pattern of Small Wrinkles
You will see throughout this investigation that there are a lot of little wrinkles like this in Erika's story. The question is what broader purpose do they serve? I remember reading in Xavier Poussard's book Becoming Brigitte that it is actually an intentional strategy of deception — a strategy used by the media in creating and curating a legend. He was talking about Brigitte Macron, and how the press would intentionally make minor edits or overlook certain dates. Small adjustments, made over a long period of time — a date wrong here, an age miscalculation there — slight, ever so slightly. Because minor tweaks over a long period of time aren't noticeable, even though they ultimately amount to a big lie.
This is exactly what I have found to be immediately frustrating about examining Erika's life. Minor tweaks that almost look like they could be mistakes. You go, "But do people really make these kinds of mistakes?"
Birthday Discrepancies and Divorce Document Anomalies
Let's start with her birthday. Erika Frantzve, we are told, was born on November 20th, 1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio. There's a newspaper relic announcing her birth two weeks later on December 6th. It tells us she was born at Good Samaritan Hospital to Kenton and Lori Frantzve. By the way, just a small fun fact about Good Samaritan Hospital — it actually used to be the US Marines Hospital, one that once caused a bit of a scandal for unethically experimenting on the brains of patients. The story goes that the US Marine Hospital decided to gift the hospital to the Catholic Sisters of Charity, because our military is known for being really generous and giving up hospitals.
Anyway, we learn from this newspaper clipping that Erika was born on November 20th, and she maintains that birthday today. But oddly, that would be news to her parents. Kent and Lori, for whatever reason, think that Erika was born two days later, on November 22nd. We know this because of their divorce filings, which took place in 1998. On the initial filing, Lori, who filed, lists Erika as having been born on November 22nd — multiple times.
Now, in case you're thinking, "Well, maybe this was a mistake" — you should know that the filing done by Lori only has four statements of fact. It's effectively a one-pager. One of the facts is that Kent and Lori were married on November 20th, 1995 in Marblehead, Massachusetts. So they decided to get married on what would have been Erika's seventh birthday — at least the birthday she says she has. But this document is saying no, she was born two days later. So I guess it wasn't her seventh birthday.
Attached to this document, filed on July 20th, 1998, is another document that I can only assume was scanned in with an intention to confuse people. It's a separation agreement that is not notarized and not dated — so it's almost not relevant. And it completely edits the date of the marriage between Kent and Lori from November 20th, 1995 down to November 7th, 1982. A casual thirteen years and thirteen days wiped out.
You can just ignore that one because I think that document was put in there to confuse people. Take it from me — I'm a notary, one in the state of New York, although my license is expired. You can't just skip over a notary portion of a document and be fine with that. We decided to dig through Ohio law and other publicly available divorce documents to see what they look like. They are legitimate. Here is a side-by-side so you can see: on the right is what is scanned into their file with totally different dates. On the left you can see that's what a real one should look like — you get it notarized.
It gets even more absurd when we examine the divorce decree. For the uninitiated, the first document is just the filing — "I, Lori, am pursuing a divorce, and here are the facts." What comes after that is the decree, the final judgment. I want to note that this was the fastest divorce in the history of divorce — she filed on July 20th, 1998, and there's a decree on November 10th of the same year. About three months later. Once again, the marriage date is listed as November 20th, 1995 in Marblehead, Massachusetts. But oddly, you can see that somebody just went in and tried to edit that date by hand afterward, adjusting the wedding date back this time to 1985 — not 1982, I guess because the un-notarized 1982 from the initial filing would have been too obvious. So this time they're attempting to do it by hand and edit the date of marriage back just ten years, not thirteen.
This is not subtle, and it is not normal, and it bothers me greatly. Take it from someone who is chronically being sued — that is not how modifications work on court documents. You can't just use a pen and write something on a divorce decree. People have to initial. You've got to date it. You've got to see who witnessed it.
My suspicion — and this is just a general suspicion — is that this was done after the fact. Maybe someone had a friend down at the county clerk who was responsible for scanning those docs into the system. Because that ain't real life. And once again, there's another casually added separation agreement which is still not notarized, with an entirely different date of marriage. The crazy part is that in that separation agreement, Kent Frantzve is waiving his rights to an attorney with no notary present. He just agrees that Lori's lawyer can represent him on everything.
So what are we to discern from this? We are at four different plausible marriage dates between Kent and Lori Frantzve across two documents. I should also add that I could not find a single trace of their alleged marriage in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I couldn't find it across any date. Marblehead is certainly an interesting town to pick, because it is the recognized birthplace of the Marine Corps. We're going to keep hearing the Marines come up throughout this entire story. We're just laying the groundwork here.
To be responsible here — there are divorce-related documents available in Ohio online that we simply are not allowed to have access to. It's entirely plausible that they went in and fixed these glaring errors that a judge somehow signed off on across many wacky different dates. But the point here is just to demonstrate how even the most mundane facts about Erika's life are frustrating to verify. And that's just an appetizer, because then we received a very interesting email from Sweden.
The Morfar Scandal: Questions About Paternity
My Sweden fans — what's up? That email led me to even more questions about Erika's paternity.
Erika France Frantzve, we are told, was born on November 20th, 1988 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Now, let's talk about her family background on both sides.
Lori France — born Loretta Abbis — was named after her Syrian grandmother, Loretta Abbis. The Abbis family history is steeped in gambling and casinos. As we go along in this series, the history and the present of gambling and casinos is going to become increasingly relevant.
Let's bring in the OG Loretta Abbis, Erika's great-grandmother, who died in 1990, and who was constantly being arrested for running illegal slot machines. She came over from Syria and got to work in Pennsylvania. There's an article from 1941 where she testifies that she ran numbers. It says Loretta Abbis of Washington testified that she engaged in the numbers business and had been arrested on numerous occasions. Here's another article from 1944 where she pleads guilty to a lottery charge. The state police had a search warrant and when they entered her house, they found a quantity of number slips. She was sentenced to pay $200 or five months in the county jail.
This was a family thing. Her husband was Mason Abbis, and he was magnificently fraudulent. High-speed chases down the highway, lottery tickets blowing in the wind. There's an article from 1935 telling us he was overtaken in his automobile after a chase of several miles after he had failed to obey an officer's order to stop. Mason Abbis was arrested by County Detective Frank Kreps. Before an alderman, he was held for court in default of a $1,000 bond on a charge of conducting a lottery and was fined $10 and costs for refusing to stop when ordered to do so by a uniformed officer. During the race along the National Pike, which ended in West Alexander, Abbis is alleged to have thrown a package of 100 lottery tickets from his car. Officers recovered the tickets and are holding them as evidence.
Lottery, gambling, slot machines. Sear that into your mind — not just on Erika's maternal side, not just the Abbis side, but also the Swedish side, the Frantzve side.
Carl Kenneth Frantzve is Erika's paternal grandfather. He participated extensively in horse racing. More crucially, he was an executive at the American Bank Note Company in Illinois — the company responsible for printing lottery tickets. Here he is in a newspaper in 1974 doing just that. It reads, "Printing began this week on the first Illinois state lottery tickets — up to 10,000 agents." At the bottom, it tells us that Kent Frantzve of the American Bank Note Company, the printer, examines the first tickets of the initial press run.
Erika herself is therefore Syrian-Lebanese on her mother's side and Swedish on her father's side. Something that struck me as immediately odd about Erika is how deeply she identifies as Swedish, despite her public insistence that she was raised by a single mother. Think about that from a social perspective. If Erika was indeed raised by a single mother, wouldn't you expect her to identify more deeply with those Lebanese-Syrian roots? You might even understand it if she resented her Swedish roots — "my dad didn't do anything, I'm not even doing anything with the Swedes." To the contrary, Erika feels so deeply attached to her Scandinavian roots that in 2019, she moved to begin the process of obtaining dual citizenship. She posted this herself: "Dual citizenship commenced."
Maybe you're thinking, "Well, she loves her grandpa." I should mention she comes from a very long line of Swedish Freemasons. She definitively was close to her grandfather — we know this because she posts about him many, many times over the years, referring to him affectionately as her morfar. She even mentions her grandmother, his wife Elaine, saying she is "my angel in heaven" and that she calls her mormor. She posts about reflecting upon losing him in 2016 and again addresses him as her morfar.
This appears to be another wrinkle. I received a flurry of emails from fans in Sweden about this particular post, and they did not like it. What they told me made me reconsider things. I'm paraphrasing, but they said: "Candace, Erika is referring to her grandfather as her morfar." I looked it up. It means grandfather in Swedish. I thought, maybe she's not fluent, but it's cute. And then they explained it further.
They said: "No, Candace. The Swedish language is quite literal here. Morfar quite literally translates to 'mother's father.' And farfar quite literally translates to 'father's father.' We have different words for these things. You would never call your father's father your morfar. That is Erika's farfar. If Kent is her father, her father's father is her farfar." One woman emailed to say: "No Swedish grandfather would ever allow you to refer to him as morfar if he was not actually your morfar. If he was your farfar, he'd say, 'Very cute — I'm your farfar. Let's get that straight.'"
This would be akin to being someone's grandfather and allowing them to call you uncle. Words have meaning. So why is her very Swedish grandfather — of this line of Swedish Freemasons — allowing Erika to call him morfar, i.e., "mother's father," i.e., Lori's father? That's not Lori's father. What is going on here?
Erika's Closeness to the Rothstein Family and the Zion's Gate Question
This brings us to a point where we should introduce the family tree so you can see what's going on. Let's take a look at some other interesting tidbits.
On March 21st, 2019, Erika visits Jerusalem with Charlie. She's at what is known as Zion's Gate, and she posts a picture with a curious caption. It reads in part: "Meet Darla, a Romanian Jew that now calls Israel home. She was sitting by my family's dedication sign for restoring the Zion's Gate in Jerusalem."
Why is Erika describing Zion's Gate as her family's dedication? Speaking of which, why does her one-time roommate Nicole Rothstein allege that half of their family — referring to her and Erika's family — is Jewish? Nicole also claimed online, going back and forth with people after Charlie's assassination, that Erika was her best friend and her cousin.
Now, the Rothstein family — the Zion's Gate is their dedication. Nicole wouldn't be lying if she posted that it was her family's dedication. But how did Erika and Nicole Rothstein get so close? Remember, Erika presents that she was raised by a single mother on the Lebanese side.
If Erika is telling the truth about her paternity, then Nicole Rothstein would be — and this is going to sound ridiculous, but this is the reality — Erika's father's sister's husband's previous wife's daughter's daughter. In other words, zero blood relation. Not even kind of related. Yet Erika goes a little further. She also posted a lovely tribute to Alan Rothstein, Nicole's father, online. She calls him Uncle. Uncle? If Erika was telling the truth about who her parents are, that would be her father's sister's husband's previous wife's daughter's husband. Absolutely zero blood relation — yet Erika is extraordinarily close to him as well.
On the family chart, we actually couldn't even fit how removed this is. You've got her aunt Carla married to a man named Jack Solomon, but Jack was also previously married to someone named Edna. This is Edna and Jack's line — this has nothing to do with Erika Frantzve. So how did she get so close to these people? Why is she referring to them as her family and declaring that Zion's Gate — which is actually the Rothstein family's dedication, and which has nothing to do with her aunt Carla — why is she saying it's her family's dedication?
I could imagine a very easy way it could actually make sense — her closeness to the Rothsteins, her dedication to Jerusalem — if and only if we take Erika literally when she says morfar. Let's assume that Grandpa Carl is indeed her mother's father. That would mean, obviously, Lori is not her mother. And Kent, by nature of being a man, is not her father. We're looking for her mother's father. So we have to start looking at Kent's female siblings. That gives us only three options — but I'd go with Carla, because she's married to Jack Solomon. And Jack Solomon's dedication — that is Jack Solomon's dedication. Carla wasn't even married to Jack until 2002. Yet Erika just jumps in and says, "This is my whole family and my family's dedication." But if Carla was her mother, actually, it would all make sense. Solomon is the very man who financed the restoration of Zion's Gate in Jerusalem. If Jack Solomon was her grandfather, then Nicole Rothstein would indeed be her blood relative cousin. But again — that's purely speculation.
Jack Solomon, Carla Frantzve, and the Gambling Connection
Let's just give you the facts about Jack Solomon. What is factual is that Jack Solomon eventually marries Carla Frantzve in 2002. He graduated from what is today known as Utah Valley University. He's very involved in the university — it was formerly known as Utah Valley State College when he graduated. He created on their campus the Center for Jewish Studies. He also served on the board of the Center for Jewish Studies at UVU. He was a professor at BYU in political science and the former director of the university's Jerusalem Center. Zion's Gate, as I said, is his dedication.
If you're wondering how Jack got so rich, it's because back in 1968, Jack and his business partner, a man named Norman Vance, began a company called Advanced Patent Technology. That company would go on to manufacture slot machines. Slot machines. Everybody's involved. It's just amazing — it's like everyone in this story is involved in gambling. Per his bio, in 1974, Jack gathered more than $5 million to purchase United Coin, the manufacturer of slot machines and the holder of profitable Southern Nevada slot machine routes. In 1979, they announced plans for the Colorado Belle Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, the first of a series of hotels to be built in the Las Vegas area.
The gambling thing keeps coming up, on both sides of Erika's family. I'm marking that for all the investigators who are interested.
Erika's Schooling: The Tesseract School and the Looking Glass
Now, for some fun — remember when they were freaking out about me discussing time travel? Specifically Project Looking Glass, the CIA program that actually happened? They allegedly utilized Sumerian technology to peer into the future. Well, imagine my surprise when I began looking into Erika's early years.
I was under the impression that Erika moved to Arizona after her parents divorced — putting her there after 1998. But here is the true timeline. Erika was in Cincinnati, Ohio for daycare in 1992. She attended a place called Walnut Corner Children's Center in Cincinnati, located inside a massive corporate building. I can show you a photo of her at daycare — dressed as a little bee and accidentally throwing some Freemason hand signs. She looks adorable.
Thereafter, she moves to Arizona and attends a school that has been virtually wiped from public existence. There is another school by the same name that continued for a little longer, but this particular school came to fruition when a man named John T. Goalie incorporated Educational Alternatives in Minnesota — Educational Alternatives Incorporated. John T. Goalie had formerly helped launch Roundup for Monsanto. This time though, he was pioneering charter schools in America. He teamed up with the Walton family, the Bush family — yes, everyone involved in this school that Erika is going to attend. John Goalie and Jeb Bush went on Good Morning America to announce the project.
The schools would come to be known as Tesseract schools, named after the children's book A Wrinkle in Time — a story about time travel. The protagonists of that book fly through space and time using a tesseract to rescue their family from evil forces. It's a battle between good and evil using time travel.
And it's about to get even more fun. When these powerful families decided to start a Tesseract school in Arizona, they began with a small school in Paradise Valley first. It is that specific school that Erika attended, and it is virtually impossible to find documents regarding it. They needed a space for the school and they decided they were going to rent a building owned by a Jewish school. Forgive my terrible Hebrew, but the school — I kid you not — was called Gan Yaladim's Looking Glass School. So a Tesseract was put inside a Looking Glass. I just think that's fantastic.
This is why, I now realize, they were panicking when I mentioned Project Looking Glass. They probably thought I had already known that she went to this Looking Glass school — this little elite Looking Glass school in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
By the way, the Tesseract school itself is exceedingly Jewish in terms of its administration. It was run by Jewish executive directors. The teachers are all Jewish. I tracked down the yearbooks, and I can show you that Erika was at this school — I don't have every year yet, but I have 1995-1996 in first grade, 1996-1997 in second grade, and 1997-1998 in third grade.
Speaking to people who went to that school — the one in Paradise Valley specifically, to be very clear, since there were other Tesseract schools — it got shut down in the year 2000. The other schools kept going and changed ownership, but this one was there for a very small amount of time. Looking at the yearbooks, there are some interesting players involved in this school that kind of went down for fraud. It's a recurring theme. We're going to stop here for today though, because that's a lot to digest.
Comments Section
The morfar/farfar scandal. I see you guys in the chat. Why is it so fun to say? I want to adopt that. I want to say, "That's my farfar. That's my morfar." Why can't we just call him that? You Swedish viewers were killing it over there. That was a fantastic tidbit. That was quite a journey.
Jenny writes in the comments section: "You are loved and supported by many. Christ is king." Thank you. I keep going because it's important that we get to the bottom of what is going on in this world.
Stars313 writes: "I missed you, girl. It's been a long week without you. Got my Stanley cup full and ready for this banger of a series. Go, Candace." Thank you so much.
Blue Appetite writes: "We all want a friend like Candace. When stuff hits the fan, Charlie deserves the truth to be found out, and we all know you're doing everything in your power to get there." The thing about the preemptive PR campaign — they're basically saying she's not a grieving widow, because if you investigate her, you're going to find something. You should be like, "Oh, interesting. Well, she's great. So what are you going to investigate?" No — they're like, "Pray. Someone's looking into her background. Pray. Oh, she will need your prayers." Why? Because she's at the office the whole time. What was that freak-out panic?
When have we ever done anything to the children? Of course we want the children to be great. You should not be praying for the children because an investigative series is coming out about their mother who has chosen to be the CEO in her husband's stead. That's a decision that was made. You want to be in the realm of politics, you want to be here, you want to be telling people who to vote for for the future president of the United States in 2028 as you come out to sparklers — well then put on your big girl pants. You don't get to play the role of a grieving widow when people want to know who you are, especially when you're telling lies. Can we go back to a little bit of common sense?

KPKP writes: "My kids ran around the house screaming, 'We are listening to Candace!' I just reflected on how happy I am to hear that on so many levels. Thank you, Candace. From my humble family to yours, we love you and your crew." I love you guys too, and I love hearing that the kids are watching the show. I hope I always keep it family friendly. Look, I brought up a children's book today — A Wrinkle in Time. I'm family friendly.
Colleen Dolan says: "Tell me they were allegedly involved without telling me — Trump inviting Erika to the State of the Union. Everything is fake and gay." Well, that was offered to us as an excuse as to why she could not answer our questions. We initially gave her ten questions, then reduced it to four for today's episode. They were not cumbersome — basic questions. Why, if you grew up with a single mom, did you pursue your Swedish citizenship? Is your mother actually married to Larry, or did she just use his last name? We'll just have to take her in terms of what she said, and we offered those questions. Hopefully she will have answers in time for tomorrow.

I've never seen it in politics. As ugly as it's been, have I ever seen people posting infant children because they're upset over a trial? I can't stand Ben Shapiro, but I would never direct any person to post his kids or go after his team. They're working for him. It's a job. The fact that they want to do that — it is so beyond anything I've ever seen. And frankly, I'm happy, because it's just going to be gas in the tank. I promise you that. We'll go all year. This is a never-ending series. This is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friend.
