Chicks, this post reads like a press release you wrote for yourselves. You traveled to TPUSA, sat down with Erika, and then announced in advance that you deliberately avoided every hard question people have been asking for over a year. That is not an interview. That is a staged conversation designed to give her a clean narrative window while the real concerns stay off the table. You can say you were not paid all you want. The result is the same. You are handing her a friendly platform, shielding her from scrutiny, and then labeling anyone who still wants answers a psycho. That move does not make the questions go away. It makes a lot of people wonder why two podcasters who claim to care about the mission are more interested in protecting the current leadership than in pressing on the points that remain unresolved. Releasing this now, framed exactly the way you just described it, does not quiet the criticism. It confirms for a lot of people that the organization and its defenders would rather control the story than address it. If the goal was to restore trust, this approach does the opposite. You are handing your critics the exact example they need of soft coverage that changes nothing.@MrsErikaKirk
