Friends In High Temples: Charlie's Final Call With Bibi... | Candace Ep 320
Episode of Candace · April 2, 2026 · 56 min
Candace Owens alleges a Netanyahu–Romney friendship links Utah, BYU, the CIA and defense contractors to Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Summary
Candace Owens devoted the episode to what she called a newly relevant thread in her ongoing investigation into the assassination of Charlie Kirk: the decades-long friendship between Benjamin Netanyahu and Mitt Romney, which she traced to their shared time at the Boston Consulting Group in 1976. Owens argued this connection supplied the missing link between Israel and Utah, and she tied it to her claim that Kirk's final phone call with Netanyahu was an "intervention" over Israel in which Netanyahu offered to take Turning Point USA "to the next level." She speculated that war profiteering, particularly around a potential war with Iran, could explain such an offer.
Owens then walked through a series of alleged personal and corporate connections around Timpanogos Regional Hospital and Brigham Young University. She described Zachariah Qureshi, briefly detained on September 10, as "decoy boy number two," noted that his father Ahmed Qureshi is a Navy O-6 and co-founder of the defense contractor Built Incorporated, and played a clip of Baron Coleman showing that Built received roughly $7.5 million in Air Force and Navy contracts in June 2025. She linked Built's other co-founder, Nathan Henderson, to Gina Romney Henderson and to a son who worked as an emergency room scribe at Timpanogos, and said Timpanogos CEO Andrew Zenger had been moved from Texas shortly before the shooting. Owens asserted, without hedging, that the CIA recruits from BYU and particularly from its Jerusalem Center, naming a firm she called Metro One Talent as a recruiting vehicle.
The episode also covered the FBI's revival of comparative bullet lead analysis, which Owens noted was first used after the John F. Kennedy assassination and was abandoned in 2005 after the National Academy of Sciences found it unreliable. She criticized Donald Trump for telling Erika Kirk at a White House Easter event that she should sue her critics, argued that lawsuits would force disclosure of information she wants, and said Kirk had been abandoning the pro-Israel cause under financial and personal pressure before his death.
Owens closed with viewer comments, praise for the investigative work of Baron Coleman and Lionel Nation, a request for help documenting how the Hild family is related to the Romneys, and an announcement that the show would take the following week off to research "Romney land."

Key points
What was said, by whom, with the exact words. Timestamps jump to the moment.
- Candace Owens
Owens speculates that the money promised to Turning Point could have been guaranteed by war profiteering tied to a war with Iran.
“I have an idea that it may have been guaranteed from like war, war profiteering, war in Iran, particularly the issue that Bibi and Charlie were butting heads about”
- Candace Owens
Owens says the Netanyahu–Romney friendship began in 1976 when both worked at the Boston Consulting Group and remains extraordinarily close.
“a friendship which began, like I told you, back in 1976. When they were both working for the Boston Consulting Group”
- Candace Owens
Owens argues it is suspicious that no bystander eyewitnesses have emerged from the hospital emergency room, suggesting it had been cleared.
“as I reflect six months later, it's almost as if the emergency room had been completely cleared for Turning Point USA”
- Candace Owens
Owens criticizes Kash Patel for seizing hospital footage during an active manhunt, calling it a bizarre priority.
“when Kash Patel arrived, he had the FBI immediately seize the footage from inside the hospital. What a bizarre priority, right? Makes no sense”
- Candace Owens
Owens claims George Zinn falsely confessed at the scene and later said he had been paid to do it.
“First, it was George Zinn, jumped up and down immediately and said, I did it, I did it. He would later tell people at Utah Valley, where he was being treated, that he was paid to do that”
- Candace Owens
Owens contends Patel's premature tweet that a suspect was in custody gave the real assassins an hour-and-a-half head start.
“Kash Patel's mistake provided the true assassin or the assassins an hour and a half buffer to get away”
- Candace Owens
Owens says Zachariah Qureshi's father Ahmed is a Navy O-6 commanding officer with extensive Middle East ties.
“Ahmed Qureshi, that is Zachariah's father, he is an 06 in the Navy. That means he's a commanding officer. That's the equivalent to a colonel in the Air Force”
- Candace Owens
Owens claims the Qureshi and Henderson families lived in the same house in Keller, Texas, and their sons attended BYU at the same time.
“the co-founders of the Bilt Company, who lived in the same house and work at the same place, also sent their sons to the same school at the same time, BYU”
- Candace Owens
Owens says the Air Force provided most of Built's roughly $8 million June 2025 funding, with a smaller amount from the Navy.
“7.4 million from the Air Force and just under a quarter million from from the Navy, bringing the total actually closer to $8 million that came in to them in June of this year”
- Candace Owens
Owens says Connor Henderson worked as an emergency room scribe at Timpanogos and wonders whether he quit around the day of the assassination.
“I'm wondering if he actually quit on September 10th. I'm wondering if he was working beneath Dr. Lee Trotter. It's a lead that should be pursued”
- Candace Owens
Owens says Timpanogos CEO Andrew Zenger was appointed on August 19, shortly before the assassination, after working in Texas.
“he was appointed the CEO of Timpanogos just ahead of Charlie's assassination. It was August 19th. And curiously enough, before that, he was down in Texas”
- Candace Owens
Owens asserts as fact, not allegation, that the CIA recruits directly from BYU and specifically from its Jerusalem campus.
“BYU has direct ties to the CIA. They recruit directly from BYU. And I am saying this with 100% certainty. It is not a conspiracy”
- Candace Owens
Owens names a firm called Metro One Talent as the company the CIA uses to bring young recruits on board.
“They specifically use a company, and this will trigger them if they're watching, called Metro One Talent. Metro One Talent. That's how they interview their talent and set them on the path to joining the CIA”
- Candace Owens
Owens notes that comparative bullet lead analysis was first used after the JFK assassination and was later judged unreliable before the FBI abandoned it.
“So the FBI came up with the road chemistry. because they needed to match a bullet in the JFK case”
- Candace Owens
Owens states that authorities know Tyler Robinson did not kill Charlie Kirk and calls the case an obvious patsy setup.
“They know Tyler Robinson didn't do it”
- Candace Owens
Owens says the Romney and Farnsworth families were part of the Mormon groups that moved to Chihuahua, Mexico, after polygamy was outlawed.
“I know the Farnsworth family. and the Romney family were part of the families that went down there”
- Candace Owens
Owens says her tracking of Egyptian-registered flights showed trips from Israel to Provo coinciding with bombing campaigns against Israel, which she suspects carried Netanyahu.
“I'm saying there's a lot of evidence that these planes are in sync with the pattern of when there's bombing campaigns happening toward Israel”
- Donald Trump
Trump says at a White House Easter event that he told Erika Kirk she should sue people who mock her because they are jealous.
“I think you should sue them, but, you know. I told her, you ought to sue somebody. They're so jealous”
- Candace Owens
Owens says she and other critics would welcome a lawsuit because discovery would compel release of information they are seeking.
“most of us welcome a lawsuit because then they would be required to give us the information that we're asking for”

Candace OwensOwens says she would personally review the roughly 600,000 documents in the Robinson case for free if they were made public.
“I will go through every single one of those documents if you give them to me. For free. You do not need to pay me. This matters to me”
- Candace Owens
Owens criticizes Turning Point USA for fundraising within 48 hours of Kirk's death and for mailers showing Erika Kirk at the memorial.
“It was so the ick when I had reading this to switch the gears so quickly into how can we fundraise off of this. It's just dishonorable”
- Candace Owens
Owens claims Kirk had decided to abandon the pro-Israel cause under financial threats and moral blackmail before his death.
“he was actually abandoning the provisional cause because my husband was under a tremendous amount of stress in the end because they were pulling money from him and they were threatening him, you know, financially”
- Candace OwensCan’t be judged
Owens announces the show will take the following week off to focus research on the Romney family connections.
“we will see you tomorrow. And then we're going to take a week break and dive into Romney land”
