Summary

Candace Owens expresses strong disapproval of Turning Point Faith, alleging it operates like a cult and is involved in questionable estate planning practices. She highlights a lawsuit against Turning Point USA and YAF concerning an elderly man's $25 million estate being willed to these organizations shortly before his death, with his caretaker's son working for TPUSA. Owens also connects TPUSA board member Paul Valerie, a former psychological operations commander, to Michael Aquino, an intelligence officer and self-avowed Satanist who co-authored a book on 'Mind War.' Furthermore, she criticizes TPUSA's partnership with Greg Lori's Harvest Church, which faces multiple lawsuits alleging child abuse and sex trafficking at a Romanian children's home. Owens speculates on a broader pattern of military involvement in child trafficking and psychological operations, urging listeners to remove children from public schools and become self-sufficient.
This episode matters because it presents a series of serious allegations against prominent conservative organizations (Turning Point USA, Turning Point Faith, YAF) and individuals (Greg Lori, Paul Valerie), suggesting deep-seated corruption, cult-like behavior, and connections to child abuse and Satanism. The claims, if widely believed, could significantly impact public perception and trust in these organizations and the broader conservative movement, while also fueling existing conspiracy theories about global elites and military involvement in illicit activities.

Insights

1Alleged Exploitation of Elderly for Donations to TPUSA

A lawsuit filed in December 2024 against Turning Point USA and YAF alleges that Alton C. Jennings, a 95-year-old man with cognitive decline, changed his will four months before his death to leave his $25 million estate to these organizations. The lawsuit, filed by his grandson, claims Jennings was isolated from family and friends by his caretaker, Mitch Manley Sr., whose son, Mitch Manley Jr., worked for Turning Point USA.

Host refers to a court petition filed in December 2024 challenging the last will and testament of Alton C. Jennings, who died at 95, leaving his $25 million estate to Turning Point Action (led by Tyler Ber) and YAF. The caretaker, Mitch Manley Sr., allegedly isolated Jennings, and Manley Jr. worked for TPUSA.

2TPUSA Board Member's Connection to Satanism and Psychological Warfare

Paul Valerie, a board member of Turning Point USA and former military commander of the 7th Psychological Operations Group, co-authored a book titled 'Mind War' with Michael Aquino. Aquino is described as an intelligence officer, psychological warfare expert, and an 'open Satanist' who founded the Temple of Set, believing Satan to be a literal being and advocating for individuals to become 'gods' through self-exploration.

Host identifies Paul E. Valerie as a TPUSA board member and former military commander of the 7th Psychological Operations Group. Valerie co-authored 'Mind War' with Major Michael Aquino, described as an intelligence officer, psychological warfare expert, and 'open Satanist' who joined the Church of Satan in 1969 and later founded the Temple of Set (1975) based on a literal interpretation of Satan.

3TPUSA Partnership with Church Facing Child Abuse Allegations

Turning Point USA's 'Faith Make Heaven Crowded' tour is partnering with Greg Lori's Harvest Church. Harvest Christian Fellowship and Lori are facing 12 lawsuits (with 23 expected) alleging a former pastor and missionary, Paul Habsgard, abused young men at a children's home in Bucharest, Romania. Allegations include tying children to radiators, forcing them to kneel on walnut shells, inappropriate touching, and pimping them out for sex. The lawsuits claim Harvest Church negligently supervised Habsgard despite abuse reports.

Host states Erica Kirk is speaking with Greg Lori's Harvest Church for a TPUSA tour. An article is cited detailing 12 lawsuits against Harvest Christian Fellowship and Greg Lori regarding alleged abuse of young men by former pastor Paul Habsgard at a Romanian children's home. Allegations include physical and sexual abuse, and the church is accused of negligent supervision.

4Military Bases as Hubs for Trafficking and Brothels

Owens suggests a recurring pattern where military bases globally facilitate trafficking and brothels. She claims that women, often described as 'casting directors,' are sent to recruit young women onto bases, where they are then afforded no protection from their own governments, and US military personnel are immune to prosecution for actions on these bases. This is supported by an ongoing lawsuit against the US military by South Korean women.

Host refers to a current lawsuit by South Korean women against the US military for running a brothel where they are stationed. She describes a typical scenario where a woman (like Ghislaine Maxwell) recruits young women onto military bases, where they are unprotected and military personnel are immune to prosecution.

Lessons

  • Remove children from public schools to protect them from perceived psychological operations and harmful influences.
  • Pay off personal debts, stop gambling, and avoid giving money to institutions perceived as enslaving, to gain financial independence.
  • Acquire property and make communities smaller to create self-sufficient environments and remove oneself from the 'matrix' of control.
  • Exercise free speech and be mindful of how dollars are spent, as these actions are seen as crucial in a 'good versus evil' fight.
