Gary Melton — host of the Dangerous Liberty podcast and owner of Paramount Tactical Solutions — joins Chicks on the Right to break down how he went from a casual Candace Owens follower to one of her most outspoken critics. Gary walks through the moment he first noticed manipulative storytelling tactics in her coverage of the Charlie Kirk assassination, including the widely criticized "Fort Huachuca" episode, and explains why he believes the narrative doesn't hold up to basic military logic.
The conversation expands into a broader theory Gary calls "Project 2032" — the idea that a coordinated network of media figures is working to fracture the conservative movement ahead of the midterms and 2028 election, built around themes of isolationism and distancing from Israel. Gary also details his public feud with journalist Elizabeth Lane, including allegations about her ties to Russian intelligence circles and a controversial claim involving misuse of FBI resources.
Along the way, the group covers the psychology of online followings, the role of bots and coordinated harassment, historical parallels to the Iranian Revolution, and why Gary believes silence and avoidance only allow disinformation to spread further. The episode closes on a lighter note, mocking a viral "lateral crawl" military demonstration, before Gary encourages listeners to find their voice, push back publicly, and support independent conservative creators.
